At the foot of Celestial Derivation Peak.
The evening breeze carried the crisp, clean scent of mountain grass and trees. Chu Yunhai and Su Muyuan walked side-by-side, slowly ascending the peak.
The last rays of the setting sun fell upon them, stretching their shadows long.
Both were paragons of Celestial Derivation Peak's younger generation. They were once hailed by some as the Twin Prodigies of Celestial Derivation and had known each other for many years, sharing a much closer bond than with other disciples.
Chu Yunhai turned to look at Su Muyuan beside him, a faint smile on his lips. "That Yang Jing is quite the rare talent," he began slowly. "In such a short time, he's actually broken through to the Qi Eating Realm in two different martial arts. The strength he displayed when he defeated Ma Guoliang today was truly extraordinary. Are you confident about facing him tomorrow?"
