"Oh no, could that person have gotten to the Mountain Phantom first?" Bai Xiaotong suddenly became worried.
When Yan Dao heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. From the traces nearby, there's only one attacker. The Mountain Phantom is a mid-phase Ascension spiritual beast, and it also has many Mountain Sprites by its side. If one wants to kill so many spiritual beasts alone, they have to be an Earth-rank disciple!"
Earth-rank disciples were generally at Level 6 or 7 of the Long Breath Stage. With enchanted armaments, it wouldn't be a problem for them to deal with a group of Mountain Phantoms and Mountain Sprites.
However, unless there was a special reason, Earth-rank disciples would usually train in the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range and not come to an outer mountain peak like Mount Firon.
Therefore, that person was most likely just a Black-rank disciple.
