"Luckily, I succeeded in breaking through."
Xia Ling looked at Zoe's astonished expression and nodded, equally amazed inside.
She had originally thought she would need to spend more time before becoming a Martial Artist. She had never expected to succeed after a single attempt in the Meditation Room. Its effects were far stronger than she had imagined.
Moreover, she knew very well that after cultivating the Reverse Star Triple, she was fundamentally beyond comparison with ordinary Martial Artists. Though she had not undergone precise testing with instruments, she was certain that her strength and speed far surpassed those who had just entered the Beginner Martial Artist rank, not falling far short of Peak Beginner Martial Artists.
"I really didn't expect you to beat me to becoming a Martial Artist in the end." Zoe looked at Xia Ling, who had admitted it, and sighed with envy. "I originally wanted to settle the score between us at the Five Cities Grand Competition. Now, it seems that's impossible."
The Five Cities Grand Competition was an opportunity specially prepared by the Martial Artist Associations of the five cities for the younger generation below the Martial Artist rank. Martial Artists were not permitted to participate. Even someone like Xia Ling, who became a Martial Artist after registering, was no exception.

But compared to becoming a Martial Artist ahead of time, the competition's rewards no longer seemed so important.
"Fine! Then we'll settle the winner and loser
