"No, I'm still at 2nd Rank, just about to take the rank promotion trial,"
Jiang Chen explained.
"I just exceeded 7th Rank strength."
"..."
This is even more exaggerated than you secretly reaching 7th Rank!
Li Xiao felt somewhat bewildered, as if he were still in a dream.
As the former Symbol of the Alliance and an 8th Rank, he had only barely possessed strength approaching 10th Rank due to his talent, special traits, and similar bonuses.
Now that he had ascended to 9th Rank, because his mecha had not yet completed enhancement and he hadn't acquired new traits,
there was quite a distance to reach the strength of 11th Rank.
Jiang Chen had 7th Rank strength at just 2nd Rank...
Wouldn't that mean he could attain Li Xiao's current strength by the time he reached 5th Rank?!
"...Jiang Chen, I remember Senior Yano once said,"
"Your level of talent, among the many civilizations in the abyss, would only be considered average?"
