The news spread like wildfire through the Burning Sun Pavilion. It was Jong, a disciple of the main peak, who first revealed it, whispering it in the ears of his peers with a tone that carried both envy and disbelief.
"Mo Han… that lowly servant boy… has already reached the complete Qi Condensation Realm," Jong announced with a smug dissatisfaction, though his eyes betrayed unease.
The hall of the main peak disciples buzzed like a disturbed beehive. Shock and agitation filled the air. Everyone knew what it meant. To reach complete Qi Condensation at his age and from such humble beginnings was a feat that many core disciples had failed to achieve. If Mo Han continued at this pace, it was inevitable that he would soon step onto the main peak as a recognized disciple.
"What kind of joke is this?" one disciple spat, his lips curling in disdain. "That mutt of a servant, daring to even dream of walking among us?"
