"Ha ha!"
Liu Jingguo sprang to her feet, the four silver chains clashing with a crisp ring. "I've been waiting for you to say that. Let's go!"
Zhou You was somewhat surprised. "We're leaving just like that? Aren't you going to explain a few things first?"
Sis, given your situation, shouldn't you at least report it before going out?
The Prefecture Lord had pulled strings to hide her in Fierce Beast Prison, ostensibly to guard one side but actually to avoid disaster. How could she possibly come and go as she pleased?
Before setting off, shouldn't she report in and obtain permission?
"The pass my master had you bring was meant for me to use when leaving!"
With a single sentence, Liu Jingguo cleared up Zhou You's doubts. So the Prefecture Lord had anticipated this long ago and quietly gone with the flow.
Once they left the oppressive atmosphere of Fierce Beast Prison, Liu Jingguo's true strength was fully revealed: Strong Martial Third Heaven.
"I can't compare to you," Liu Jingguo said modestly. "You must have already condensed the Source of Golden Body."
Condensing the Source of Golden Body was the sign of breaking through to Quadruple Heaven, advancing from the early stage to the mid-stage.
Among those of Zhou You's generation who had advanced to Strong Martial, most were within the Second Heaven to Triple Heaven range. During Early Strong Martial, the gap could not widen much. With time, effort, and resources piled together, the difference was no more than one or two minor heavens.
But advancing from the third to the fourth was a major threshold. Condensing the Source of Golden Body was a great leap, formally entering Mid-stage Strong Martial.
Liu Jingguo's tentative question was meant to determine whether Zhou You had broken through to Quadruple Heaven.
