"That is..."
Before Wu Mingquan could fully sort through the tangled emotions in his heart, his heart suddenly began pounding wildly, and his pupils shrank to pinpoints.
Lin Xuan, who had retreated, stepped forward once more.
The other shore emerged, hazy and shrouded in mist, incomparably mysterious.
There was nothing surprising about that. After all, whenever Transcendent Realm experts fought at full strength, the vision of the Cycle of Life and Death Road would appear.
What left Wu Mingquan dumbfounded was that with Lin Xuan's step, flowers bloomed across the other shore. Countless tightly packed buds filled every corner of that land.
"Mid-stage Life Realm..."
"He actually... broke through!"
Wu Mingquan was utterly stunned. He even wondered whether time had silently slipped away just now, allowing Lin Xuan to advance another step.
Yet he had no idea that his shock had only just begun.
Lin Xuan had already taken his second step and raised his saber.
The next instant, Wu Mingquan's mouth fell open.
The flower buds carpeting the other shore bloomed, and Lin Xuan's power rose again, reaching the late stage of the Life Realm.
"Hiss..."
"How is that possible?"
"He broke through two realms in a row!"
"Heavens, what kind of monster is Lin Xuan?"
The countless students cried out in shock, their emotions surging violently.
"No!"
"Look! Petals are dancing across the sky, and the blazing sun of life is condensing..."
"He is... at the peak of the Life Realm!"
Amid the horrified cries, Lin Xuan took his third step.
Three steps to reach the peak!
Wu Mingquan and the others, along with the countless students, were all aghast. It felt as though their entire worldview had been blasted to pieces.
Three steps to reach the peak—unprecedented and unrivaled. Even the most gifted geniuses of ancient times
