The mana fluctuations on the Teleportation Gate definitely represented the strength of the person going through. If it was a Magic Apprentice, the time between the initial appearance of the mana fluctuations and that person walking out wouldn't exceed one second.
But it had already been eight seconds since the fierce mana fluctuations started fiercely emitting from the Teleportation Gate, yet the person inside still had yet to appear.
There was only one explanation: The person being teleported was a powerhouse, at least a Peak 9th Rank Archmage!
Only people like Harren and Jouyi would create such fierce mana fluctuations when going through.
Ordinary 9th Rank Archmages simply couldn't do so.
Due to that, Harren and Jouyi gave each other a meaningful glance. They knew that Mafa Merlin's strength must have greatly increased during this period of time. Now, he was definitely on the same level as them.
