Jin Ming Golden Immortal's gaze held surprise, and within that surprise, there was even a hint of disbelief.
He had surmised that Han Yi was powerful. Eight years ago, when he personally delivered a Yuandao Immortal Stele to Han Yi, he knew at a glance that Han Yi was no ordinary True Immortal, but had stepped into a seasoned level, and moreover, there was a Sword Qi about him that was concentrated and unyielding.
Being a Sword Immortal himself, Jin Ming Golden Immortal had the clearest sensitivity to Sword Qi. He recognized at a glance that the Sword Qi on Han Yi had reached the category of Second-stage Immortal Skill.
That's why he had initially been impressed.
But his impression was because Han Yi's strength exceeded his expectations, not because he had predicted that Han Yi would rank highly in the Yuandao Struggle, for after all, he knew that not just the top ten, but even the top hundred would have to be peak True Immortals.
