While he was thinking to himself, the elder from the Sword Way Sect was still wondering aloud. "Or could it be that the boy is at the peak of the second mortal coil but is hiding his cultivation from us? But that would be equally outrageous."
"If he could hide his cultivation from us cultivators at the peak of the third mortal coil and make it look like he is at the fourth mortal coil, then he will be more impressive."
"It will explain why he could defeat a rank 3 beast at the fourth mortal coil. But it won't explain how he could kill a beast at the third mortal coil at the fourth step with the power of the peak of the second mortal coil. That is equally outrageous."
He shook his head in disbelief. "There is an entire realm of power between them. So it can't work."
"Besides, there wasn't any fluctuation in his mana during the fight. His mana was consistent and not hidden. So that can work either."
"How did he do it?"
