"He was meditating on the lower layers," a hall master said slowly, trying to make sense of it. "He moved cautiously before. Yet now he is crossing the higher layers at a speed that surpasses reason."
"This is impossible," another elder declared firmly, shaking his head in disbelief. "Only inner disciples at the Law Awakening Realm possess such explosive movement within the Path. Max is merely at the first level of the Rebirth Realm. How can he be this fast?"
Victor Veron's expression had lost its calm composure. "The pressure of the twelfth layer is something that even peak Rebirth Realm cultivators cannot endure for long. He not only endured it, he accelerated within it."
Henry Lumin frowned deeply. "Earlier, he relied on steady comprehension. Now he is using force. The shift in his pace is unnatural."
Lilith Carol narrowed her eyes as she observed the projection carefully. "There was a moment just before he surged forward. His aura changed. Something within him stabilized."
