(MC POV)
"I… I guess it's expected of Senpai who had come from the Legendary Earthen Plane…" Muon stuttered, her head bowed and not meeting my eye.
"No, no, no. This whole thing is weird no matter how I look at it, isn't it? Why is this even happening?"
"May I speak, Master?" Xun Guan asked suddenly.
Muon was instantly alert, summoning two balls of fire in her hands and looking around her for the source of the voice.
"Relax Muon, she's friendly. What did you want to say, Xun Guan?"
"Ummm… This might just be my guess but I think it holds merit seeing what Master did just now… The Earthen Plane has an abysmal concentration of Quarks, maybe even the lowest of all Planes. Thus we, who have managed to cultivate under those extreme conditions, would become much stronger when we enter the other Planes since they have a higher concentration of Quarks."
That… Actually makes sense.
