"Of course I'm breaking through," Velen said with a relaxed smile.
"As for my current level, I'm pushing into Ascended Rank level 4."
"What?!"
"You're breaking through to Divine-tier level 4?!"
Karos and Kendrix were completely floored.
Had they heard that right?
Wait a second!
Karos suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Lord Velen, you must be joking, right? Every Divine-tier advancement requires thunder purification!"
"You're welcome to take a look outside," Velen replied, gesturing toward the door.
"Due to my unique physique, thunder doesn't strike me during breakthroughs. Instead, it hits the ground—or the people nearby."
"To put it simply: when I ascend, either the earth or someone else takes the hit for me."
Heh.
Hearing this, Karos and Kendrix couldn't help but laugh.
What nonsense! If they believed that, they'd be the biggest fools in the universe.
