A wave of irrepressible excitement appeared in his eyes, finally erupting into a low, rumbling laugh that shook the entire circle of Immortals:
"Haha... Excellent! What a man, this Li Wen!"

Even Barton's perpetually cold face was now etched with profound shock.
His gaze was fixed on the name ranked second on the leaderboard, a storm churning in the depths of his eyes. Finally, he let out a low grunt:
"...The 7th Layer... Impressive!"
Beneath the shock lay a strong sense of respect.
A look of clear astonishment appeared on Time Shadow's face yet again.
His silver eyes now shone with utter disbelief.
