Alexander watched Michelle closely and raised a brow when she frowned.
"Is there a problem with approaching a breakthrough?" he asked.
Michelle shook her head.
"That in itself is fine, but I didn't feel any form of bottleneck appearing."
"That is indeed strange..." even with his rank, Alexander had not once experienced not having a bottleneck while breaking through or nearing a breakthrough.
It was a great anomaly.
But thinking about it, it probably wasn't completely unheard of.
There were some cases of people who never experienced bottlenecks, and breakthroughs meant nothing to them.
But those people had a harder time cultivating, and had to pull in more spirit energy to reach new levels.
That was as if nature was balancing them out with the rest of the cultivators.
But Michelle's cultivation was about the same as before.
Alexander could clearly observe that the whole time she was cultivating.
So what was going on?
