"No you didn't" Ning's voice came from behind the flames. When the fire disappeared, he could still be seen finalizing his breakthrough.
"What? How could this be? I clearly hit you!! How are you not hurt or distracted?" the fox cried out.
"Yes, you did hit me. But did you think I would get hurt because you hit me?" Ning's snarky voice came from his body once again.
"What's that supposed to mean?" the fox asked.
"Think about it," Ning said. "There are millions of places on this planet I could have gone to for breakthrough, yet I came here. Did you think that was a coincidence?"
The fox staggered backward. "Wh-What do you mean?" the fox asked.
Ning slowly stood up. Finally, he was done with his cultivation breakthrough and the aura of a newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivator spread out from him.
