Seeing the aura around Ji Zhixing fluctuate, Zhou Han, Iron Mountain, and Su Qing immediately realized he was about to break through.
He was about to become a second-order gene cultivator from a first-order gene cultivator, just like them.
"What's going on?"
"He's breaking through already?"
Zhou Han's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Iron Mountain and Su Qing were stunned too.
After spending a day together, they all knew Ji Zhixing came from an ordinary family and had fought his way up entirely on his own.
Under those circumstances, evolving his gene in such a short time was already no easy feat.
Yet they had only just broken through, and Ji Zhixing was following right behind them?
What about the bottleneck?
Hadn't he fused with a second-order gene?
Was there no bottleneck when advancing from first order to second order under those circumstances?
"This guy..." Zhou Han shook his head. "He actually broke through after a single battle. And with that strength of his, I feel like he's the one who fused with a third-order gene."
Iron Mountain and Su Qing said nothing, but their eyes held the same astonishment.
Not far away, Xiao Mingyue blinked as she watched Ji Zhixing, her own aura fluctuating slightly.
He actually broke through this quickly... she murmured inwardly, then swiftly reined in the trace of aura she had just revealed.
"Whew!"
Before long, Ji Zhixing let out a long breath and suppressed his surging aura.
He opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through them.
He seemed steadier than before, with a greater sense of strength about him.
"Zhixing, what's going on? How did you break through already?" Zhou Han was the first to approach, looking him up and down.
"Yeah, you gave me a fright."
Su Qing spoke up too.
