"Lu Hao, right? I heard your name from Zhang Tao before and didn't think much of it at the time. But this time, you've given me quite a surprise. You really are Rank Nine?"
Nan Yun Yue walked over to Lu Hao, sizing him up as she asked. "Minister Nan, I really am Rank Nine, and I only broke through not long ago. You should know that."
"I do know, but I didn't expect you to possess such formidable combat strength right after breaking through. If I'm not mistaken, the power you displayed when killing those Rank Nines was already at the peak of Rank Nine. To have such strength immediately after breaking through, the number of times you forged your golden body must be quite high. Combined with your origin path, that's how you achieved such an increase. Don't tell me your origin path has already extended more than a li?" Nan Yun Yue asked curiously.
"Minister Nan truly has a discerning eye. My origin path has indeed extended more than a li."
Lu Hao answered helplessly. He couldn't exactly say that his origin path had only advanced a hundred meters. If they combined that with the combat strength he had displayed, they would definitely conclude that he had a Nine-Forged Golden Body.
"More than a li! As expected of a genius. At your rate of progress, it probably won't be long before you reach the pinnacle," Nan Yun Yue said with mixed emotions.
After all, she had merely been guessing before. Now that Lu Hao had admitted it, she was even more astonished. An origin path was not easy to traverse; one needed profound insight to improve quickly. She was even a little envious of Lu Hao. At such a young age, he was already nearing the pinnacle.
