Leng Shaoting knew it as well, so he became more worried after hearing Shangguan Yang's explanation. "What should we do now?" he asked.
"We truly can do nothing about it. It depends on her now. I can see she's breathing steadily. I don't think she just broke into the next level, but the thunder…" Shangguan Yang was confused too. Although he couldn't feel Gu Ning's level, he could feel her breath.
Gu Ning was breathing normally now, and she didn't seem weak at all after going to the next level.
However, it was hard to tell because Gu Ning was different from other cultivators. She had the Blood of the Phoenix in her body, so everything was possible. Shangguan Yang knew a little about the Blood of the Phoenix, so he couldn't guess correctly.
After avoiding heavenly thunder a few times, Gu Ning gathered a touch of magical energy. When the heavenly thunder was about to hit her again, she used the magical energy to fight back.
