If anyone among them was most likely to break through to half-step Ancestral God first, it was undoubtedly Ouyang Feng or Du Can.
However...
Everyone looked toward Ouyang Feng, only to find his expression rather unpleasant. He seemed to be at a critical juncture in his cultivation, only to be disturbed by this invisible fluctuation and pressure.
"It wasn't Ouyang Feng?"
Everyone froze.
Ouyang Feng had obtained a considerable amount of Golden Spring Water earlier. Coupled with his exceptionally profound cultivation, he had stood an excellent chance of breaking through to half-step Ancestral God.
Zhang Jiuming and the others around Ouyang Feng had likewise only just awakened from their cultivation. Clearly, it was not them either.
"Could it be Du Can?"
"Has Du Can already broken through to half-step Ancestral God?"
Everyone instinctively turned toward Du Can.
As a genius of the Nine Heavens Tower on the Immortal Thunder Continent, Du Can was one of the leaders of the continent's cultivators. He was not far from Tang Yifei.
He was easy to find.
But just like Ouyang Feng, Du Can wore a gloomy expression, with a trace of resentment at having been outdone.
At this point, how could anyone fail to understand? Clearly, the person who had broken through to half-step Ancestral God was not Du Can either.
On the contrary, someone else had broken through first while Du Can had not, leaving him deeply furious, as though he should have been the first to advance to half-step Ancestral God.
"It wasn't Ouyang Feng."
"It wasn't Du Can."
"Nor was it any of the others."
"Who broke through to half-step Ancestral God?"
Many exchanged bewildered looks.
Ouyang Feng and Du Can, the two most likely to advance to half-step Ancestral God, had neither broken through.
Who else could it be?
