Despite the Aurora having been shot out in what resembled a hasty and frustrated move, it was still backed by Ergo (the shirtless man's) Pagoda realm cultivation.
This bit of detail caused Hal to raise a brow...
The last time he had met Ergo, at which point he had been wearing a mask to conceal his identity, the ripped man had been at the Cosmic Aurora realm. At the mid-stage in fact.
And now he was radiating cultivational pressure that was at the mid-stage of the Cosmic Pagosa realm.
Meaning he had advanced an entire realm... In two months.
Hal paused and his eyes narrowed while he realized that the ripped man was showcasing the sort of unreal cultivation speed that had him (Hal) tagged a cultivation monster.
That was not all...
The simple Aurora grade Artifact Ax that Ergo had wielded back then and was still wielding right now wasn't so simple anymore.
