"Li Yang has completely mastered the fourth form of the Hexagram Spear!"
"He... passed the fifth step of the Divine Path!"
"Five years ago, during the final ranking battles of the talent selection, Li Yang had only just mastered the third form of the Hexagram Spear. It's only been five years, and he has already mastered the fourth!"
"It took Lan Yu more than five years to master the fourth form of the Wheel of Time, didn't it? Li Yang's rate of progress... is completely on par with Lan Yu's!"
...
Inside the Flame Wave Sect Master's palace, several Deities watched the video feed before them, their faces betraying their shock.
In just five short years, he went from only being able to pass the first step of the Divine Path to clearing the fifth!
On average, that was one step a year!
This was the Divine Path. There were forty-nine steps in total. Passing all of them meant becoming a Deity with eternal life!
