"After Lu Ren joined the sect, he first took the top spot among the new disciples. Then he cultivated the Ten-Seal Method and reached the Forbidden Extreme Realm at the Realm-Locking Stage!"
"Just a month ago, he challenged Ba Cangshan, who ranked first in the Second-Grade Heaven-Tier Source Court!"

Lu Ren had reached the Forbidden Extreme Realm at the Realm-Locking Stage and had even challenged someone at the Heaven-Unity Stage.
