Chapter 24: Could He Be a Peak-Level Grandmaster?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What possibility?” He Biao couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s very simple. That new grandmaster killed the Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator and then put its corpse away,” Commander Zhao said slowly.
As soon as he said this,
The grandmasters’ eyes widened.
“Impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
“This is too ridiculous. The Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator is a king-level demon beast. Its defense is incomparably powerful. Commander Zhao, even someone as strong as you is only able to injure it with a full strength attack.”
“That’s right. We heard the roar and rushed here. The entire process only took about thirty seconds. Commander Zhao, even you can’t kill the Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator in such a short period of time, right?”
All of them spoke fiercely.
They were all grandmasters and knew very well how difficult it was to deal with a king-level demon beast.
If it could be killed so easily, humans would have long taken back the land they had lost.
Commander Zhao said indifferently, “A high-level grandmaster isn’t able to do it, but what if he’s a peak-level grandmaster?”
Upon hearing this, the dozens of grandmasters were stunned.
Peak-level grandmaster.
They had indeed not thought about it.
The reason was that it was extremely difficult to reach the peak of the grandmaster level. With sufficient resources and endowment, it was possible for grandmasters to break through and arrive at the high-level of the grandmaster level, but not the peak-level.
Without great perseverance and great patience, it was simply an impossible feat.
Although a high-level grandmaster only seemed to be a level away from a peak-level grandmaster, the difference between the two was actually huge.
Peak-level grandmasters had attained perfection in all aspects of their bodies and had broken through the limits of humans.
Seeing that no one said a word, Commander Zhao continued, “The Blue Horn Blood Wolf, the Single-Horned Rhino, and the other demon general corpses we saw before were all killed by this expert’s terrifying strength. If not for his extreme confidence in his strength, this expert would not have used his fist as a weapon.”
At this point, he paused for a moment, and smiled. “The Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator’s corpse is more than 300 meters long. Only a peak-level grandmaster would have such spatial equipment.”
The other grandmasters had now understood.
Right.
Even the armor worn by a grandmaster had a very small spatial space that could barely fit a high-level demon general’s corpse.
If that expert really took away the Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator’s corpse, it meant that he had spatial equipment with a larger capacity.
“Commander Zhao’s analysis seems to be spot on.”
“That’s right. I didn’t expect this grandmaster to have reached peak-level!”
“It must be some lord who happened to be visiting Huadong City!”
“That’s right. There are very few peak-level grandmasters. Every single one of them with the potential to reach this level has long been roped in by the various large factions, and they are all recorded on a list.”
The grandmasters discussed.
At the same time, they sighed.
Most peak-level grandmasters had factions and did not work alone. They would definitely not be able to rope in such an expert.
In other words, he had made a wasted trip.
“Let’s go back!”
The dozens of grandmasters shook their heads and returned to the city.
Only He Biao stayed behind.
After all the grandmasters left, he walked to Commander Zhao’s side and asked, “Commander Zhao, is it possible for a newly-advanced master to directly reach peak-level?”
Commander Zhao was stunned for a moment before glaring at He Biao. “President He, what do you mean?”
He Biao hesitated for a moment. “Commander Zhao, I’ll be honest with you. I’ve personally met this peak-level grandmaster before. At that time, although he was wearing standard armor and his helmet and mask were not exposed, I could still feel from him the aura of an ordinary person.”
Commander Zhao frowned. “It’s very normal. The peak-level grandmaster is perfected in all aspects. His aura can be restrained.”
“I know, but this peak-level grandmaster used my battle saber to cut the blue horn off the Blue Horn Blood Wolf’s forehead… Even when it came to the Single-Horned Rhino Tyrant, he pulled the horn out forcefully.” He Biao said softly.
Commander Zhao’s pupils constricted when he heard that.
He Biao’s voice continued. “Usually, only newbies deal with materials like this. If this peak-level grandmaster was from another faction, it would be impossible for him to not have a weapon on him. Similarly, he wouldn’t be handling materials in this way.”
Commander Zhao’s breathing quickened and even became hurried. “President He, it’s impossible for a newly-advanced grandmaster to reach peak-level. However, among the experts of the previous generations, there have been some who reached peak-level right after breaking through to the grandmaster level!”
As soon as he finished speaking, their gazes intertwined, filled with passion.
They both knew that even if a peak-level grandmaster deliberately hid his strength and kept a low profile, his usual habits would still remain mostly the same.
Especially when it came to handling demon beast materials.
It was something that was basically impossible to disguise!
