Zhao Yi was previously puzzled. Why did the City Lord of Earth City target him?
He had no dealings with him, and even upon breaking through to a Mage, whether friend or foe was still unknown. Yet, his intent to kill Zhao Yi was exceedingly strong.
Coupled with John's brief words and Alice's situation, perhaps John wasn't deliberately targeting him, but rather aimed to eradicate all geniuses in the Magic World.
Especially when he mentioned the Nether Tree, Zhao Yi was even more certain of his suspicions.
Otherwise, he could have dealt with those Great Mages struggling above the sky.
Instead of painstakingly doing all this.
At present.
After Zhao Yi's breakthrough, he advanced swiftly, looking at him with a calm demeanor.
"You've actually managed to break through, and so quickly?"
John looked at him, somewhat shocked.
For an ordinary mage to break through to a Great Mage, it would usually be impossible without a day and night.
