As Li Hao crossed over, his identification number shot up the rankings, leaping from outside the top thirty straight to seventeenth!
Such a leap could never have been achieved by slowly grinding away in the Tenth Desolate Domain. None of the sect elders outside were ordinary figures, and they were immediately startled by the sight.
"That fellow numbered 996 must have broken through the Tenth Desolate Domain!"
"A rise like that can only mean he broke through a domain. Which sect's disciple is he?"
The representatives of several Heaven One Sects, including the Star Palace and the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, exchanged solemn looks.
Li Tiemu, however, stood frozen among the crowd.
He had even forgotten to swallow the strong liquor in his mouth. It trickled down his stubble like drool, soaking his collar.
Yet he did not notice at all.
The others did not know, but he did. That-was Li Hao's number!
That kid, that kid-he broke through the Tenth Desolate Domain...
Li Tiemu was stunned. The gulf between the Eleventh Desolate Domain and the Tenth Desolate Domain was immense, the difference between the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal Lord Realm. That kid had actually broken through the barrier. Such strength far surpassed what was needed to defeat the Ancestral Dragon.
Hearing the discussions around him, he suddenly came to his senses. A cold sweat broke out over him, and he hurriedly composed himself lest anyone notice anything strange.
That kid, that little rascal... Li Tiemu was both shocked and delighted. From Emperor Sword Mountain until now, each surprise Li Hao gave him had surpassed the last. Here, he had finally revealed his true trump card.
That kid even kept me in the dark. He has no special bloodline, so how on earth did he do it?
