Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Luo Feng and the other two fell silent.
What did he mean, his progress would still be fast after becoming Immortal?
What did he mean, he would definitely become a Venerable within ten thousand years?
Did he even hear himself?
In ten thousand years, they might not even see a path to Immortality, yet Xiao Yang was talking about becoming a Venerable.
Even more absurdly, Luo Feng and the others thought he was right!
They genuinely believed Xiao Yang could become a Venerable within ten thousand years!
They suddenly felt that Xiao Yang had a point: taking on a disciple now really would waste his time.
Worse, it could deal the disciple a crushing blow.
Imagine watching your teacher go from Immortal to Venerable faster than you went from Cosmic level to Domain Lord Level. Anyone without a strong enough will might lose all faith in themselves.
If Luo Feng and the other two hadn't been so strong-willed, hearing this might have made them lose faith in their own talent too.
Seeing the three of them fall silent, Xiao Yang said nothing more. He simply enjoyed his drink.
Sure enough, showing off felt best when the people watching knew you!
Of course he was going to show off. Wasn't that one of the reasons to grow stronger?
Seeing the looks on their faces felt even better than drinking one of Jack's level-nine cocktails.
Luo Feng and the others exchanged glances and saw the same bitterness in one another's eyes.
But there was determination there too.
They believed they could catch up to Xiao Yang.
The four of them dropped the subject and moved on to other things.
They talked about everything from gossip about the talents of the Primal Secret Region to little stories about Immortals.
