There was usually an extremely obvious feature in a martial artist's cultivation when one arrived at a certain state.
A Yin Grade martial artist could curb one's essential Qi and even one's breath of life to accumulate the power in one's body. It was done so that one could move into Yang upon reaching the extremity of Yin.
Nonetheless, although a martial artist in Yin Grade Class One and Class Two could hold back one's overflowing aura, one could not restrain one's breath of life.
A martial artist had to have the cultivation base of at least Yin Grade Class Three to achieve it.
He Liangce did not attach importance to the fact that Ou Yangming was in Yin Grade Class Three, but the young master was only in Class Two when they last met. Hence, He Liangce was shocked that Ou Yangming advanced to the next class after just a few days.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was even more surprised; or appalled.
