Wang Chen was certain of one thing.
Li Mei was not merely stabilizing herself at the Foundation Establishment Realm—she was rushing through it.
With her understanding of the world, her heaven-defying comprehension, and the vast accumulation from her previous life, it was only a matter of time before she reached the peak of Foundation Building… and overtook him.
For some masters, that would have been a source of pride.
For Wang Chen, it was unacceptable.
"Hmmm," he muttered softly, his eyes darkening. "My disciple could never be stronger than me… I won't let that happen. Ever."
And Li Mei wasn't the only problem.
Lin Huang's growth was even more alarming in its own way. Ever since Li Mei's breakthrough, it was as if something inside him had been ignited. He wasted no time on idle thoughts or meaningless distractions. When he wasn't guiding Zhao Yunfei, he was either circulating qi to temper his body or pushing himself to exhaustion through relentless training.
