"Formidable, the younger generation!"
Nailong True Person's tone carried a trace of admiration as well, but from those few words of his, it was still not hard to read between the lines: extraordinary though Lin Xuan's cultivation speed was, compared with a super genius like him, he was still a notch inferior.
Lin Xuan had spent two thousand years advancing three levels in succession from late Dongxuan, crossing an entire major realm to reach late Spirit Division Stage. That was impressive, of course.
But back then, when Nailong True Person had completed the same leap, he had spent a mere thousand years.
That was right—one thousand years.
Simply put, he had used less than half the time Lin Xuan had.
There was always someone beyond the person, a heaven beyond the heavens!
Of course, Nailong True Person had no intention of showing off. With his strength, there was simply no need to do such a thing. He had merely mentioned it casually, but from those few sparse words, Lin Xuan had already felt the tremendous gap between them.
Even compared to Nailong True Person back then, Lin Xuan might not necessarily have been his match—let alone now, when he was already a mighty being of the late Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
"Heh, Senior overpraises me. For Lin to have achieved what I have today, more than half was by chance and coincidence. Even I muddled through it in a daze. Naturally, I cannot compare with a super genius like Senior."
Lin Xuan spoke modestly. Keeping a low profile was his principle, and all the more so before an existence like Nailong True Person; naturally, he did not dare reveal the slightest hint of arrogance.
"Heh, merely chance and coincidence?" Nailong True Person smiled without speaking, but he did not continue probing.
