The 9th Runic Ascendant State!
Wei Wuyin was absolutely speechless, unable to fathom the process, but he could only hazard a guess that Ma Zheng had decided to only attempt to reach the Awakened Mystic Intent after comprehending to the fullest!
Wasn't this a little insane?!
Wu Yu couldn't help but feel that Ma Zheng was far greater than he imagined. In truth, he reached the 8th Runic Ascendant State after a combination of natural talent, support from the King of Everlore, and hard work. He never slacked off in his pursuit of power.
However, he wasn't too sullen at the disparity. Ma Zheng was born and raised in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region. The environment was thousands, if not tens of thousands better than the Desolate Dragnet Region. The thickness of Mystic Essence, the various Mystic Radiance Belts, and the amount of time he exerted into his cultivation was far more than Wu Yu.
