Seeing Qin Hao's confusion, Lin Chenxi explained, "He's also a new student in this session, just very low-profile. He's not in the top hundred, but I always feel he's a bit out of the ordinary; his strength isn't as weak as it appears."
"What's his background?" Qin Hao asked.
Lin Chenxi shook her head and said, "He should be just an independent cultivator who was spotted by someone from Qiankun Academy and brought in. He doesn't have any special background."
"This guy's strong, doesn't seem like just an independent cultivator."
Qin Hao's eyes twinkled, and it hadn't been long since he last saw him, yet at this moment, he had a feeling—that Ling Daozi's strength was definitely not weaker than his own.
The first time they met, their strengths were nearly equal.
Qin Hao had repeatedly encountered serendipity, and his strength had risen at a terrifying rate.
But Ling Daozi had also improved similarly, which amply illustrated his extraordinariness.
