The arena was still eerily quiet.
Everyone stared intently at Sikong Jing until he and the other two were taken away by Master Wang, and then a tumultuous uproar ensued, "Are you kidding? A Spirit Martial Root reached the Innate Realm?"
"Could it be that he is not a Spirit Martial Root?" someone else asked.
But this conjecture was immediately dismissed by the older students, "He definitely is a Spirit Martial Root, otherwise, Dean Bai would never have left like that; he had just checked him thoroughly."
Suddenly, everyone was baffled again. How could a Spirit Martial Root make such a breakthrough?
"It's not unprecedented in history either. Didn't the Long Night Empire have such a person a thousand years ago?" someone else spoke up.
"Indeed, it is said that person also had an extremely strong combat power and was deemed invincible under Xuantian," explained someone knowledgeable about history. "But that person only reached the Innate Realm at the age of forty."
