Fu Qian's sudden appearance gave the two people in the room quite a fright.
"How did you get here? Where's Rachel?"
Li Min, who had been in control of the situation until now, spoke with a gravity she hadn't shown before.
For one thing, she hadn't expected Fu Qian to find this place, let alone arrive so quickly.
For another, she realized she hadn't sensed him hiding above them at all. He'd appeared as if out of thin air.
This guy... His strength was probably even more terrifying than she'd imagined!
"Don't worry. She's fine. Right now, she should still be staring into Roland's eyes."
Fu Qian gestured for Li Min not to worry about her good friend.
"And you're welcome. When Rachel makes a run for it, Brother Roland will probably volunteer to stay behind for a while."
"So you're going to stop me from killing him?"
Though a little confused, Li Min didn't doubt Fu Qian's words. Instead, she turned her attention to another question.
"Your condition seems a little unusual?"
Fu Qian didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked her up and down.
In terms of sheer strength, her current state was far beyond what it had been a moment ago. She was firmly at the Intermediate Tier.
At the same time, the terrifying heat radiating from her was very real.
From this angle, he could clearly see the burn marks across her skin, and even smell the scent of roasting flesh.
It felt almost as if she'd swallowed fire.
What an interesting technique!
"A special method for unlocking one's potential. It requires a specific tool."
Li Min answered Fu Qian's question calmly and honestly.
"With it, I can temporarily break through my tier and reach this state—"
"You won't be able to hold out for long."
