Within the Starweave Ranking, the figure wrapped around the name "Chen Fangqing" had grown solid as life, revealing Chen Cuo's appearance completely. But his expression was savage. He forced the Aura Pressure apart and leaped toward the Second Rank formation!
Before Chen Cuo's figure could land, wave after wave of Aura Pressure struck again, pinning him in midair. He hung there, unable to truly enter the Second Rank!
The sight left Gao Bai uncertain and alarmed.
"The Aura Pressure squeezed a phantom of his Divine Ability out of him just now. That means he exhausted his Dao Attainment and showed the full extent of his potential. How did he force the Aura Pressure apart and break free?"
After his initial surprise, Xietongzi looked impressed. "Truly unexpected! Martial Uncle Gao, what does one mistaken judgment matter? In this world, there are always dazzling talents beyond the measure of ordinary men."
He would have done better not to speak. Gao Bai's face darkened further.
Gao Bai clearly remembered that this young Daoist had used "dazzling talent" to describe him just moments ago!
But he quickly steadied himself. "You think so highly of him. If he fails to reach the First Rank, won't that praise ring hollow?" After a pause, Gao Bai added, "Chen Fangqing has some tricks, but standing on the Starweave Ranking depends first on one's foundations."
"If he stops at the Second Rank, naturally he won't compare with Martial Uncle Gao or this humble Daoist," Xietongzi said with a nod. "And he won't deserve such praise."
"Then let us wait and see." Gao Bai looked toward Chen Cuo's figure, doubt on his face.
Chen Cuo remained pinned in midair, looking defiant and wild. Stray thoughts stirred faintly around him. He looked nothing like someone who had ever cultivated his mind
