Lin Yuan's words stunned everyone else at once.
Rose and the others were no longer the newcomers they had been when they first entered the game. They now understood the Transcendent Path in great detail.
An enormous gulf lay between S-rank and Double A-rank.
It was the gap between ordinary transcendent power and the power of authority.
They had never heard of anyone crossing that gulf.
Rose and the others exchanged looks.
Had anyone but Lin Yuan said this, they would certainly have considered the speaker either mad or a fool.
But since Lin Yuan had said it...
Perhaps Zero God is particularly special and can briefly hold his own against someone who has just reached S-rank, they could only surmise.
They simply could not imagine someone below S-rank defeating an S-rank powerhouse.
Lin Yuan saw their confusion but paid it little mind.
There was no need to waste words on something like this. Time would prove it.
According to the Founder, not only was he not S-rank now, he would not be S-rank for a long time to come. In fact, he might never be S-rank.
His future path was to step straight past S-rank and condense authority directly.
That would not stop him from beating up S-rank opponents before reaching S-rank, though.
What followed went far more smoothly than Lin Yuan had expected.
Even the strongest hidden-area bosses in the entire Silver Academy were only at Double A-rank.
Moreover, among beings of the same rank, humans had equipment, tactics, and intelligence, Crawlers had formations, and sea creatures had exceptionally powerful vitality.
Instance monsters alone were the weakest.
As such, these hidden-area bosses posed no threat whatsoever to Lin Yuan and were easily dispatched.
