"Did he... advance?"
Although Ling Wuyuan had already drawn in the aura around his body, leaving everyone unable to sense any energy fluctuations from him, at this moment—
Everyone could clearly sense that some strange spatial fluctuations existed around Ling Wuyuan.
To the powerful figures present, the nature of those fluctuations was somewhat like a tranquil lake beginning to ripple.
Though the sensation was not especially intense, as long as the many onlookers focused their attention, those strange fluctuations were quite obvious.

They had never imagined that someone could successfully advance to the [Divine Ability Realm] at the mere age of sixteen.

Then the more severe one's injuries were throughout the process, the more holes there would be on the surfaces of that bucket and vat...
Thus, even the slightest injury had a negative effect on advancement!!
Furthermore,
Advancement required transformation.
A complete transformation of the body, soul,
