Although Lin Hao's tone was calm, Yin Duwen could feel a powerful surge of True Essence radiating from his body.
It was something he had never felt from him before.
"You… you've reached the Fifth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm?!" Yin Duwen staggered back a step, exclaiming in shock.
Lin Hao's lips curved into a smile. "Am I disappointing you?"
"You… you…" Yin Duwen retreated again, a look of utter horror on his face.
After using his bloodline, not only had Lin Hao's realm not fallen, but he had actually surpassed his previous limits and broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm. The revelation was staggering.
"Brother Hao, are you even human?" Meng Ru's mouth formed a perfect "O." She then clamped a hand over it, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Lin Hao smiled, but his gaze went past her to Meng Qing.
