Seeing him come out, Isabella immediately asked, "Mr. Li, how did it go? What grade of Cultivator have you achieved?"
Exhaling a cloud of smoke, Li Zhongnan replied, "Sixth grade!"

"From sixth to seventh grade is a major bottleneck, and..." Li Zhongnan cleared his throat, "and the two girls were too young. It was really... during the process, they cried so much, I couldn't bear it."
Isabella let out an "Oh" and continued, "How many Elemental Fruits did you refine?"
Li Zhongnan said, "About three thousand of the sixth grade?"
