Qi Dao looked calmly at the three people before him.
"Grandmaster, Tang San, Xiao Wu. We meet again!"
Yu Xiaogang studied the tall, straight-backed Qi Dao, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang had always believed Qi Dao's Innate Soul Power was level five, perhaps even level six. That was why he made such a guess.
Half a level of Innate Soul
