Jason's words were calm and peaceful, but there was also a force that was never present before. Many people were stuck at grade-8 and could never advance to grade-9 for their entire lives, yet Jason dared to say that he would be able to advance quickly just by using his own power.
Lex could only admire him. She knew that she would definitely need the Six Elements' Space because advancing to grade-9 had become an urgent matter. The people around her were not strong enough. Bain had been sent out and her teacher needed to stay and guard Bitter Water Prefecture. Other than the black metal grand swordmaster, the rest were mostly grand mages of grade-4 and grade-5.
In the past, the group of people would have been considered as formidable, but then the humans of the entire Mainland were becoming more and more powerful. Whoever could advance faster would have the advantage.
