Ma Hongjun looked at Zhu Zhuqing as if she were an idiot and corrected her:
"Boss Dai is only almost level thirty. He's still far from level forty!"
Boom!
Those words struck Zhu Zhuqing's mind like a bolt from the blue.
Her entire body froze in place, her face filled with disbelief, her beautiful eyes widened to the limit.
"Al... almost level thirty?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled slightly.
"How is that possible?! When he left the Star Luo Empire a few years ago, he was already over level twenty! Has he not cultivated at all these past few years?!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing lose her composure like this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance, clearly realizing something.
"Beauty, you... you know Boss Dai, don't you?" Ma Hongjun asked cautiously.
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. She merely stared fixedly at Ma Hongjun, waiting for his explanation.
Ma Hongjun coughed twice and hurriedly defended Dai Mubai.
"Well... Boss Dai's Soul Power growth over the past few years really has been a little slow.
But there's a reason for it!"
"What reason?" Zhu Zhuqing asked coldly.
"According to Boss Dai's teacher, that Grandmaster known as the First Sage of the Continent..."
Imitating Yu Xiaogang's habit of clasping his hands behind his back and speaking in a profound, unfathomable tone, Ma Hongjun said:
"Although Boss Dai's Soul Power hasn't increased over these five years, he has undergone extremely grueling physical training every day!
Not a single drop of sweat he shed was wasted. It all became the foundation for his future breakthroughs!"
"The Grandmaster said this is called building up for a great release! As long as his foundation is deep enough, Boss Dai will soar into the sky someday!" Ma Hongjun declared solemnly.
Hearing that explanation, Zhu Zhuqing's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
