The moment the words fell,
Several elders in the hall cried out in shock, their faces written with disbelief:
"How... how was this even done?!"
"Aptitude is bestowed by heaven, difficult to alter after birth! This is truly inconceivable."
"Could it be... that there was a mistake when his bones were tested upon entering the sect?!"
"You mean Fang Chen originally possessed Tiger Form Aptitude?"
The moment that thought arose, even they found it absurd.
Qi Chong was equally bewildered.
His thick brows furrowed as he carefully recalled, "No, that's not right!"
"This old man examined Fang Chen's aptitude before. At the time, he only had Four Forms, and his aptitude was indeed of middling to low quality."
"Later, after using all sorts of pills, it only reached Nine Forms! It absolutely could not have been Tiger Form!"
"Don't tell me... even this old man tested him wrong?!"
Qi Chong looked at Fang Chen's imposing, powerful stance of Tiger Back, Bear Waist, and Leopard Knee.
He found it difficult to believe.
"If it wasn't a mistake... then what heaven-defying method did my disciple use to truly transform his aptitude into Tiger Form?!"
That thought left even Qi Chong's mouth dry and tongue parched.
Lu Weichuan's expression was the most spectacular of all.
The mockery and ridicule from before had vanished without a trace, replaced by utter shock and disbelief!
"How is this possible! It's absolutely impossible!"
"Three Nirvana Bone Sculpting Pills could at most produce Nine Forms!"
All manner of guesses surfaced in Lu Weichuan's mind.
"Could he have encountered some great opportunity?"
"Or perhaps... is there truly some method that can transform aptitude into Tiger Form?"
Either possibility was enough to prove that Fang Chen's fortune and talent far exceeded Lu Weichuan's imagination!
As for Jiang Yifei beside him,
