บท 2079: Eight Stage!

"Huh? Why has only one person passed the sixth stage?"

"Exactly, Wu Zixu shouldn't be much weaker than Alchemist Riyang. Why is he so much slower?"

"Ptui! Wu Zixu is much more talented than Alchemist Riyang! Wu Zixu was definitely the one who passed the sixth stage first!"

"Heh, don't you know the saying? The older one is, the wiser one is."

"Well, don't you know this saying? The pupil outdoes their master."

Many of the spectators became engaged in this spirited debate. Some of them believed that it was Wu Zixu who had passed the sixth stage just then, while others were adamant that it was Alchemist Riyang. This clearly had nothing to do with them, yet they were all red-faced with emotion as they argued about it.

However, none of them would dare to dream that it was neither Wu Zixu nor Alchemist Riyang who had passed the sixth stage just then. Instead, it was someone who they had all heard of, yet wouldn't even think of considering.
