"He..."
Lin Yue stared at Chen Mu's back. After her daze faded, a trace of bewilderment and disbelief appeared on her face.
Daoist Arts!
Chen Mu was actually a Fifth Rank Sorcerer in the Dao Technique Realm!
The last time she had encountered Chen Mu, she had clearly sensed that his realm was not so high. Otherwise, with the Spirit Sight of a Fifth Rank Sorcerer, she should not have been able to detect even the slightest trace of it.
But sorcerers had no means whatsoever to raise their rank. The only method of improvement existed solely in legends: several special heavenly and earthly spirit fruits. Yet even those could not raise one's rank by a huge margin, much less allow someone to leap from a low rank straight into the high-rank Fifth Rank Dao Technique Realm.
One had to know that the Fifth Rank Dao Technique Realm was already equivalent to the Martial Dao Fourth Rank in terms of realm alone!
Unless, the last time she had met Chen Mu, he had deliberately allowed her to sense him. Perhaps he had already discovered her, but had not exposed her—or perhaps he simply had not cared that much.
"A Fifth Rank Sorcerer..."
Lin Yue's heart was turbulent.
Because sorcerers were special and rare, low-rank and high-rank sorcerers were worlds apart. Almost all sorcerers were monopolized by the Great Yuan Dynasty and gathered within the Directorate of Celestial Observation.
Their Futiān Sect was one of the Eight Great Sects of the World. It had inherited its legacy for several hundred years and controlled an entire province, yet the sect had only a mere dozen or so sorcerers, among whom there was only one Sixth Rank Sorcerer!
She had thought Chen Mu was merely a low-rank sorcerer who had awakened by luck.
