As Jiang Chen examined his information panel, he thought, 'My combat power has nearly reached the peak of the Dao Palace realm!'
In more straightforward terms, his strength had already surpassed that of a typical Late-stage Dao Palace cultivator. This meant that even with just his base combat abilities, Ji Mingxiu standing before him had no chance of competing. Satisfied, a confident smile crept onto Jiang Chen's face.
Meanwhile, overcoming his initial shock, Ji Mingxiu finally composed himself, unable to contain his astonishment. "Have… have you really broken through?" he stammered, his entire worldview shaken by Jiang Chen's progress.
"Absolutely!" Jiang Chen nodded sincerely, affirming, "Master, I have indeed broken through!"
Ji Mingxiu's face broke into a radiant grin, and he burst into laughter. "Hahaha! You've really done it! You've reached the Dao Comprehension realm—a Dao Comprehension cultivator at only twenty!"
