Xiao Lin chose to put away Liuhan and face the enemy barehanded, not out of a desire to humiliate Han Ping'an or to show off.

He wanted to test his cultivation achievements.

After all, he had been practicing the art of controlling lightning with the masked man for some time... Although the lightning provided by the masked man was as massive as a small mountain, making his progress slow, slow progress didn't mean no progress. When Xiao Lin tested the lightning-controlling artifact he improved with Yu Qiaoxi, he could handle lightning as thick as a branch with zero mistakes.

However, the artifact improved by Yu Qiaoxi could only create a practice environment, and after practicing for a long time, Xiao Lin couldn't help but want to try it in actual combat.
