"Lord Demon General, how could there possibly be a human with strength comparable to mine near Whitefloat City?" the Preparatory Demon General, Netherworld Wolf, asked incredulously.
"It's not impossible," the Demon General said.
The Netherworld Wolf frowned, "How could it be possible?"
The Demon General fell silent for a moment, then speculated,
"Generally speaking, human cultivators often fail when they attempt to break through to the Element Gathering Realm, but at the very least, it causes some enlargement of their meridians and Qi Sea, considerably increasing their strength."
"After failing to break through, most of them cannot continue to advance to the next realm, so they choose to come out of seclusion."
"Their strength is not inferior to yours, but after striking too often, it can lead to the contraction of their meridians, and their Qi Sea gradually shrinks back down to the pinnacle of the ninth level of Qi Refining."
