Everyone Has Their Own Secrets

Seeing Mu Gaohan's aura visibly grow stronger, his cultivation—which had already been extremely close to the Late Mortal Shedding Stage—began soaring step by step in the blink of an eye. He instantly broke through the Seventh Mortal Shedding Stage and continued climbing, finally settling at the peak of Mortal Shedding a moment later.

At that moment, Lin Cheng's gaze turned somewhat strange.

It had risen that quickly?

That couldn't be possible. Though the Enlightenment Tea's effects had improved considerably, they absolutely could not be this powerful. Otherwise, if everyone on Crouching Dragon Mountain had a cup of Enlightenment Tea, wouldn't they all rush into the Late Mortal Shedding Stage? If one cup was not enough, then two.

Moreover, after Mu Gaohan's breakthrough, his aura rapidly solidified, without the slightest trace of the instability ordinary people displayed after advancing.

Lin Cheng saw this clearly, and the oddness in his eyes deepened, though he said nothing.

Seeing that the other man had recovered, he merely nodded.

"How is it?"

"I feel fantastic!"

Mu Gaohan excitedly swung a fist. Powerful strength instantly flooded his entire body, and when he punched out, the air exploded with a bang. Old Mu burst into hearty laughter, sounding rather emotional. "Never did I imagine that I, Mu Gaohan, would one day step into the peak of Mortal Shedding... The world is ever-changing."

At this moment, Old Mu looked somewhat wistful.

Yet Lin Cheng silently stared at him. Nothing much seemed amiss from the outside, but he instinctively felt that something was not quite right... He had mastered the power of a higher level so quickly? Are you sure... you didn't recover your cultivation rather than advance?

Questions surfaced in Lin Cheng's mind one after another.

For some reason, he always felt Mu Gaohan was hiding some secret.
