Gu Qianchen couldn't stay still anymore.
He jolted up from his seat with a stunned look on his face.
"Old friend… your master, you said he was seventeen, right?" he asked shakily.
"Yes." Werner's face also betrayed shock.
They had thought Grey must have something else up his sleeve to be so confident when he said he would conquer the Southern Region in a single day.
They never would have expected him to actually enter a battle with the City Lord of Mandate Province, who was a pseudo 3rd ranker.
They knew better than anyone how strong Grey had been before going to the east to evolve into a level one 2nd ranker.
Even in the best case, he should only have been able to reach the 4th level of the 2nd rank using his core essence.
"He's fighting a pseudo 3rd ranker using only his energy, and it's a stalemate," Alissa murmured.
She knew Grey's abilities well and knew this wasn't even close to his full strength.
Where was his halo? It was nowhere to be seen.
