Surprise

Shen Changchuan naturally knew where that gaze had come from.

In fact, this was not the first time he had been subjected to such "scrutiny."

Whenever he met an existence vastly stronger than himself, he would feel as though every secret he possessed had been seen through.

It had been so back when he was in the Qi Induction Realm and met his master, Roaming Dragon, who stood at the peak of the Spirit Wandering Realm.

And in recent times, now that he was at the peak of the Out-of-Body Realm, it had been the same whenever he met those in the Mystic Core Realm.

It was also because of this

that he did not develop any humiliating thoughts over such "scrutiny."

For one thing, he was used to it.

Moreover, that feeling of having all one's secrets laid bare was merely an illusion born from the vast disparity in life level and strength—an illusion caused by the other party seeing too much with a single glance.

That was not actually the case.

At the very least, no one had ever seen through the Progress Bar Panel, his most fundamental reliance that had carried him step by step to where he was today.

Secondly, the gap between them was simply too great!

So great that, the instant he met the other party's gaze, even his thoughts stiffened and his consciousness could not move!

With such an enormous gap, what thoughts could he possibly have?

Just as an ant on the ground would not feel anger at a child's observation and gaze.

It was something utterly meaningless.

Therefore, rather than reacting with anger over some so-called violation of dignity or privacy, what Shen Changchuan felt more keenly at this moment was envy—and yearning!

He envied it. He yearned for it.
