'How can he fly so easily?' Noah wondered when he saw Zach floating above him.
Zach didn't seem bothered about his position, and Noah found that feature quite strange since the cultivator was in the gaseous stage. Noah guessed that Zach had an item or a technique that allowed him to ignore the white light.
Noah and Zach's minds slowly touched after they made sure that they had no evil intentions. The two consciousnesses took care of selecting the language to use for the incoming conversation, and they separated immediately after that.
"I must say," Zach began to speak, "I'm quite impressed by your battle prowess. It's a pity that your kind can't join us."
Noah didn't answer, and his face didn't reveal any emotion at those words. Yet, his mind grew colder when he understood that Zach knew about his hybrid status.
'He must have observed my battle,' Noah concluded in his mind, and that thought made him quite worried.
