Meanwhile, in another secluded chamber, Elder Mu Cang was reading a freshly delivered report, and surprise showed on his face.
"This boy is already in the top hundred?"
He knew Elder Qing extremely well. Elder Qing was fair and rarely let personal fondness sway his decisions, so even though he clearly valued Li Yun, the three special trials he had set were anything but easy.
Each one had been carefully designed after weighing Li Yun's potential, with the aim of pushing him close to his limits and forcing out as much of that potential as possible. Yet Li Yun had exceeded expectations once again by finishing the first trial a full month ahead of schedule.
"Interesting." A faint smile appeared on Elder Mu Cang's face. "At this rate, Elder Qing's last set of Phantom Deity Armor might really end up belonging to this boy."
He waved over a subordinate.
"Transfer ten thousand points to Li Yun and upgrade his authority as Elder Qing instructed."
"Yes, Elder."
