Venerable Joshua was another hopeful who sought to accomplish a breakthrough today.
Though he held no animosity towards Tusa, Casella and the other ace pilots, he couldn't help but feel that he was falling increasingly further behind the longer he lingered at his current rank.
Of course, Joshua shouldn't complain considering that he managed to become a peak expert pilot so quickly with the help of those expensive general cultivation elixirs.
It used to be normal for expert pilots to fight and train for multiple decades until they were finally ready to seek their breakthroughs starting from their sixth, seventh or eighth decade of life.
Patriarch Reginald was an example of such an ace pilot. Back then, his breakthrough in the old galaxy was considered early by the standards of the time.
