The child's face fell when he heard that.
Luo Bing, who had also excitedly followed along, suddenly drooped his head.
They had all thought they were going to see the real Ultraman, only to find out he had already been beaten back home.
"Daddy! Then can you beat Ultraman?!"
Xun'er suddenly spotted a loophole.
"Uncle, you can actually beat Ultraman!" Luo Bing's eyes lit up. He suddenly felt that perhaps he too could become as powerful as Ultraman!
If his uncle could beat Ultraman, then by following his uncle and learning from him, could he also beat Ultraman when he grew up!
"What's Ultraman to me? Let me tell you, back in my day..."
Lin Xiao scooped Xun'er up and began telling all sorts of tales, which he had considerably embellished.
In his stories, he was more powerful than Superman, more formidable than Batman, and Ultraman or any superhero was no match for him.
Ye Chen, listening to all this from the side, could only chuckle.
However, only Ye Chen, Luo Qinghan, and two others were listening intently to Lin Xiao's stories. The rest of them... had their own objectives. kuAiδugg
Xiao Yan walked along, his mind seemingly elsewhere, lost in thought.
He would occasionally make gestures, as if trying to prove something.
As they walked, Lin Xiao and the others' gazes suddenly fell upon Xiao Yan.
They could sense that Xiao Yan's body was undergoing a transformation.
"Is this... Houtian transitioning to Xiantian?"
Ning Fengzhi blinked. This young man wasn't old, and he was supposedly from some village, wasn't he? How could he be breaking through just by walking?
An eighteen-year-old Xiantian Grandmaster, another prodigy?
This was starting to feel unusual.
In this era... so many prodigies were appearing.
And then there was a heaven-defying figure like Lin Xiao.
Reaching the Grandmaster realm around the age of twenty was considered exceptionally talented in the martial arts world, both past and present. Especially in modern times, where ancient martial arts were in decline, legacies were fading, and spiritual energy was scarce. Simply reaching the Grandmaster realm was extremely difficult. Even Ning Fengzhi's own elder brother hadn't reached the Grandmaster realm in his youth; they only truly stepped into the Grandmaster realm after reaching middle age.
He himself had always been considered talented, reaching Xiantian at twenty-four.
Dabao was just one step away from Xiantian at eighteen when he left home. Five years later, he was now at the peak of the first stage of Xiantian.
And over there, Ye Chen and Lin Xiao were both freaks.
The Dongxuan realm was a profound level that elders in their sixties and seventies could only hope to reach through years of accumulation. And Lin Xiao...
The Mingxin realm.
He was even at the peak of the Mingxin realm. When he first learned of Lin Xiao's cultivation, he thought it was a joke.
But it turned out to be true, and Lin Xiao had even entered the Heavenly Rankings.
Only then did he accept reality.
And now, this young man, who was said to have followed them from some roadside, having run out of some small mountain village, had actually... also transitioned from Houtian to Xiantian?
And he did it while walking?
Was this getting more and more outrageous?
Something unusual must be afoot!
"Wait a moment."
Lin Xiao handed Xun'er to Luo Qinghan. Zhuge Lan also waved his hand, completely sealing off the area.
"Houtian transitioning to Xiantian..." Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Sit cross-legged and carefully feel the changes in your internal energy!"
