"W-What…?" 

Suddenly, Riona, who was about to lose consciousness blinked in surprise, unable to believe what had happened. 

She broke through…

"H-How…?" 

Nux, on the other hand, just smiled as he fell next to her. 

"This is my deepest secret, Riona." 

He spoke. 

"W-What?" Riona, however, had still no clue what had happened. A moment ago, she felt a huge rush of energy gushing into her body, spreading all over and the wall that had not budged even after her decades of hard work was now crushed into pieces and she had become a Sage!

"Dual Cultivation." 

Nux spoke as he then started explaining how his ability worked and the more Riona heard, the more shocked she was. 

However, as soon as her shock settled down, realization dawned in.
