As a Star Peak powerhouse.
Taro's perception far surpassed that of Star Tier beginners like Moon Shadow and Lan Yu.
Moon Shadow and the others could only vaguely sense that Xu Jingming's aura was profound and carried immense pressure.
But they could not accurately determine his rank or realm.
Yet in Taro's eyes, the intensity of the Origin Energy circulating around Xu Jingming clearly indicated that he was Star Tier Rank 6.
To Moon Shadow and the others, however, this was no different from a bolt from the blue!
Lan Yu, Yan Ji, and Beth immediately widened their eyes and turned to look at Xu Jingming in unison.
Moon Shadow's incomparably beautiful, frosty face was filled with astonishment as she asked in shock:
"Jingming, are you really Star Tier Rank 6?"
"I told you earlier. You just didn't believe me."
Xu Jingming shrugged helplessly.
"I..."
Moon Shadow was momentarily speechless, then fell into deep silence.
This was the Star Tier!
Four ranks in two months.
No one would have believed that, no matter who heard it!
And yet, he had actually done it!
By then, Taro had recovered from his initial shock.
After all, he came from the Ertar Race's royal family and had seen much of the world. He quickly thought of a possibility.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he guessed:
"I remember you were one of the geniuses who entered the academy alongside Your Highness Moon Shadow after the Genius Battle, right?
For you to break through so quickly, could it be that you used some kind of heavenly treasure?"
"More or less."
Xu Jingming remained calm. He neither denied it nor offered any detailed explanation, merely replying lightly.
Using heavenly treasures as an excuse for his rapid breakthroughs had long been part of his plan.
