Zhang Yong's pupils shrank abruptly. 'Xu Yang has achieved Marrow Cleansing?'
Lu Ren's expression flickered. He was reminded of the fear Xu Yang had instilled in him when they first began their martial arts training. Every time he achieved a breakthrough, his greatest fear was that Xu Yang would immediately follow suit.
Despite having more resources, he could never pull away from Xu Yang, which always made him feel like a complete failure.
But he quickly composed himself. "Go on and put on an act. The Outer Sect Grand Competition is about to start, and everything will be revealed. I will take one of the top three spots and enter the Inner Sect. If you remain this complacent, you'll never catch up to me."
Having personally experienced the hardship of Marrow Cleansing, he refused to believe that Xu Yang, with his Lower C-class Root Bone, could have achieved it so quickly. Xu Yang must just be putting up a brave front.
