In the main hall of the Misty Serenity Sect, the leading elders and the sect master were utterly stunned, observing the end of the intense battle through their spiritual senses. The air was heavy with a mixture of shock and admiration as everyone processed what had just transpired.
"It seems... Bai Jian wasn't weak after all. This boy is just ridiculously strong," one elder remarked, his voice tinged with awe and disbelief.
The silence following his statement was quickly broken by another voice.
"Sister, how did you nurture such a monstrous talent?" an older elder turned toward Mei Lianhua, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Yes, sister! Tell us, how can he be this powerful?" another elder added, clearly incredulous.
"Tsk, my personal disciple is wandering around after stealing my treasure. He's nowhere near this level," another elder grumbled, frustration evident in his tone.
