Chu Xisheng's consciousness was in the Dream Realm, but he could still hear the people outside speaking.
He shook his head slightly, a sense of helplessness rising within him.
He had already done his utmost to conceal himself, even using the Wish-Fulfillment Heavenly Order and Yazi Heavenly Order to hide his strength. He had wanted to play the pig to devour the tiger, but he still could not fool someone with spiritual senses as exceptionally keen as Han Ba's.
His vast, vigorous vital energy had grown so powerful that he could no longer hide it even if he wanted to.
But-
Chu Xisheng looked at the lower portion of his Character Panel.
Origin power: Hundun Myriad Manifestations Art (twenty-first layer / First-Rank Upper), Hundun War God Art (twenty-second layer / First-Rank Upper)
During the three days before coming here, he had taken secret medicine somewhere in the Central Lands to the north, breaking through to First-Rank Upper and also raising his Hundun War God Art to the twenty-second layer.
First-Rank Lower had originally been the hardest hurdle for Human Race martial cultivators, and the point at which the gods had the greatest hope of intercepting and suppressing Chu Xisheng.
Yet during the battle in the Outer Realm, Chu Xisheng had taken the secret ritual for advancement to First-Rank Lower in the past, crossing this greatest hurdle.
The next two ranks presented no obstacles to him either. Both were broad, open roads; he only needed to walk straight ahead.
He had received Chu Yunyun's vital essence and undergone three long months of arduous cultivation, finally completing his accumulation of true essence three days ago.
But he had not merely broken through to First-Rank Upper.
Over these two months, Chu Xisheng had also perfected the battle diagrams on his body.
