Chen Lie returned to the viewing area behind the waiting zone and sat down.
Beside him, Tao Yunshu, who was competing in the same arena, saw Chen Jingjing get knocked out by Chen Lie in a single move and could not help asking, "Chen Lie... have you already broken through to the Early Fourth-Order Qi Gathering Realm?"
She knew Chen Jingjing's strength well. Chen Jingjing was at the Mid-Stage Qi Accumulation Realm and was not weak in combat. Even someone at the peak stage would find it difficult to defeat her in one move.
Chen Lie said, "Not yet. How could it be that fast?"
"I suppose..."
Tao Yunshu nodded slightly, but it was an undeniable fact that Chen Lie had made tremendous progress in martial arts.
Two months ago, when they had taken part in the class promotion mission together, Chen Lie had only been in the First-Order Qi-Nourishing Realm. Even if he had not reached the Qi Gathering Realm now, he was likely already at the Peak Qi Accumulation Realm. His martial arts realm had already surpassed hers.
Having a martial arts teaching assistant to guide him really was beneficial. His progress had been astonishingly fast.
"Brother Chen, impressive. It looks like you truly have a chance of entering the top ten of the entire Martial Way Department."
Hou Yutan, sitting nearby, gave Chen Lie a thumbs-up. Taking down a Qi Accumulation Realm Martial Artist in one move meant Chen Lie was likely not far from the Qi Gathering Realm even if he had not reached it yet. With that kind of strength, he naturally had a chance to compete for the top ten of the entire Martial Way Department.
Chen Lie nodded.
Qiao Xuanxi glanced at Chen Lie from afar. She no longer compared herself to him.
