She slowly turned around, blinked a few times, and answered softly, "Level 57."
A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Xiaojun's eyes. He smiled. "Then aren't you the same as me?!"
Xiao Yi's veil stirred as she nodded slightly, a hint of shyness in her manner. "Mm."
Chen Xiaojun blurted out, "The wife follows her husband's lead."
Xiao Yi froze. Her heart gave a sudden leap, its rhythm thrown into disarray, and a faint blush quietly colored her cheeks.
Three years earlier, when she had fallen into that long slumber, she had only been a level 45 Soul Ancestor.
Yet throughout those three years of sleep, she had continually absorbed life divine power and Life Sweet Dew-the essence of the spring water. Nourished further by more than half of the Yin-Yang Twin Lives Flower, her soul power level had climbed to the level 50 ceiling.
After she awoke, the integration of her fifth Soul Ring and Soul Bone, the release of the soul power long accumulated within her, and the additional soul power brought by her second martial soul had together propelled her cultivation level straight to level 57.
This meant that even during her slumber, her cultivation had never stagnated. Instead, it had surpassed that of the vast majority at an astonishing pace.
By comparison, even Chen Xiaojun had only reached level 53 before absorbing his two Soul Rings.
Because of the Yin-Yang Twin Lives Flower's special effects, Xiao Yi's soul power fluctuations were hazy and elusive. One could tell only that she had entered the Soul King realm, but her precise level was difficult to determine.
Perhaps only someone whose cultivation far exceeded hers and whose mental power was formidable, such as a Titled Douluo, could discern her true cultivation level.
Chen Xiaojun's situation was similar to Xiao Yi's.
