"Where did he go?" Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but ask.
Ma Yue quickly replied, "Aside from helping me, he also takes on some bounty missions in his spare time. His Cultivation has improved very quickly—he's already at the Sixth Grade. It's honestly a bit embarrassing for me."
Cheng Zongyang smiled. "He has the Five Spirit Bones aptitude, plus a Cultivation Technique that only someone with his special gifts can practice. His technique improves by absorbing Evil Qi through slaughter, so his speed is naturally different. Don't overthink it. At this rate, he'll probably enter the Upper Three Grades Realm in just a year or two. This Cultivation Technique is truly something else."
"Don't worry, Boss. I was just making an observation," Ma Yue said with a bow.
Afterward, Cheng Zongyang and Ma Yue chatted for a while longer, catching up on the main events of the past year before getting to the point.
