Hearing Huang Chen's words, Chi Ming, Wan Huang, and the others looked grim.
It was true. If they had not pressured Lu Ren earlier, they would have had a chance to compete for five Dreamshade Flowers.
Now, at Lu Ren's speed, he would likely pluck eight of them.
But what happened next stunned everyone even more. In just three hours, Lu Ren broke through ten layers of dreams in succession and plucked the seventh Dreamshade Flower.
