"Greetings to the Sect Leader!"
The five bowed to Dugu Tianyu.
"There's no need for such formalities," Dugu Tianyu said with a smile.
He still had a warm and gentle aura.
Xu Ping'an couldn't help but smile inwardly, having gotten to know Dugu Tianyu better over this period.
Indeed, Dugu Tianyu was a figure of remarkable caliber; despite his benevolent smile, when he needed to be ruthless, he would surely surpass anyone in ferocity.
"Xu Ping'an, you've reached the Third Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm?" Dugu Tianyu asked, smiling at Xu Ping'an.
At these words, Li Qingyi, Tang Qingheng, and the others all contracted their pupils in surprise.
The Third Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm?
Hadn't he just broken through to the Third Rank?
How could he possibly have reached the Third Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm?
Xu Ping'an replied with a slight smile, "I got lucky and managed to open up three Mysterious Veins in one go."
"Pfft!"
