Shi Borong heard Chen Fei's words and could not help but pause slightly, then he reacted at once.
If he could not take part in the battles of the Initial Stage Eighth-Order, aside from being unwilling to enter the field, the only reason was that his cultivation did not match.
"Little Friend Chen, what an exquisite Aura Concealing Technique. Even now, this old man still cannot see Little Friend Chen's true realm." Shi Borong studied Chen Fei seriously, but he could still only see Chen Fei's cultivation at the Initial Stage Creation Realm.
"Just a few petty tricks, hardly worth Senior's notice."
Chen Fei released the restrictions of Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heavens, revealing his cultivation at the Mid-Stage Creation Realm.
"In just a few days since we last met, Little Friend Chen's cultivation has climbed another hundred feet up the pole. This truly calls for joy and congratulations!"
Shi Borong picked up the teapot and personally poured Chen Fei a cup of tea, then used tea in place of wine and toasted Chen Fei, as a gesture of congratulations.
"Senior, there is no need for this." Seeing Shi Borong act so solemnly, Chen Fei also picked up his teacup and returned the toast.
"Little Friend Chen's talent overflows in all directions. This old man truly envies you to the point of Baleful Intent." Shi Borong smiled as he set down the teacup, at the same time tucking away the astonishment in his eyes.
The last time he saw Chen Fei cut down a Mid-Stage Eighth-Order in battle, Shi Borong had always thought Chen Fei had only recently broken through to the Creation Realm and had likely obtained some opportunity inside the Heart Strange Realm.
Yet after only a short time apart, Chen Fei was already at the Mid-Stage Creation Realm.
