At first, Wang Xiong couldn't underhand the words of Lin Wu. He could sense the aura and the fluctuations coming from him and they did seem to be at the core condensation realm like he had told him.
But then he thought over it more and realized that emphasis on 'current time'.
"Wait senior you said current time, you mean…" Wang Xiong spoke with hesitation.
"Yes, your guess is correct. My cultivation base has regressed as I have been dormant in sleep for all these years, waiting for a contender to come and pass the trials." Lin Wu explained.
Wang Xiong nodded his head as his doubts were confirmed. If it were that Lin Wu was naturally at the core condensation realm, it wouldn't have made sense for him to stay alive all this time.
"So senior what do we do now?" Wang Xiong asked.
"I think you've seen the carvings on your way here and also the shadow calamity in the trials right?" Lin Wu asked.
