He jumped to his feet.
His body felt light and much more powerful.
His control had improved drastically. At the same time, his senses' range had reached unprecedented heights.
If Neo focused, he could sense the blades of grass as far as thousands of kilometers.
He noticed Ava staring at him stiffly.
"Is something wrong?"
She looked at the barrier that shouldn't have been broken by even early Exalted, then back to Neo.
Swallowing her doubts, she shook her head.
"Let's return."
Neo nodded.
He used Water and Darkness to clean the filth that had been released by his body during the breakthrough and followed after Ava.
"I'm sorry about the barrier. I didn't think it would break."
"Don't worry about it. It has a self-restoration function."
Ava felt relieved that she hadn't told Neo to breakthrough at the Yasagori Pond.
Had she done that, the Pond might've disappeared by now.
