Long Aotian and the others were all but certain to break through to Grandmaster. With their talent, resources, and foundations, it was only a matter of time.
Once they did, they could rely on their families to secure a chance to train in the Temple of Time and rapidly increase their strength.
"They could train in the Temple of Time for three years while only a month passed outside. Where someone else might take a year to advance from Early-Stage Grandmaster to Mid-Stage Grandmaster, they might need only a few dozen days. That's what makes the Temple of Time so terrifying."
By the time Jiang Li finished speaking, Qin Yan's expression had turned grave.
He had finally come close to catching up with those prodigies—Peak Sixth Grade Qi Refining, Peak Sixth Grade Body Refining, and 499.5 hertz of mental strength.
All three measures had reached the limit below Grandmaster. The gap between him and Long Aotian, Lin Ruoxi, and the others had narrowed until it was almost negligible.
And now those few had found another way to cheat.
They would go home, improve their proficiency in their Cultivation Techniques, break through to Grandmaster, then train in the Temple of Time to grow stronger at breakneck speed.
After that combination of blows, the gap between them and him would widen again.
He would still be struggling at Peak Sixth Grade while they had already broken through to Grandmaster.
He would still be scraping together Skill Points to improve his proficiency in his Cultivation Techniques while they were already training in the Temple of Time.
He would still be preparing to break through to Grandmaster while they had already gone far down the Grandmaster's path.
That was taking things a little too far.
"Thank you for telling me, Miss Jiang."
