Hao Qi looked closely at Zhang Heng, and only after a long while did he say, "Your strength is not much to speak of, and that's the truth. You must have spent most of your time on books, on data regarding precious natural treasures and their habitats. Your strength can be said to be very weak, but as for your physical constitution, my personal estimate is that at the slowest in a year, and at the fastest in half a year, you should be able to reach the level of the Quasi-Inner Force Realm."
"That's right."
Zhang Heng withdrew his fist and clenched it tightly. Only then did he say, "Logically speaking, given the number of times I've practiced martial arts and the effort I've put in, it would be impossible for me to achieve my current physical constitution. Practicing martial arts is a process where if you don't advance, you fall back; my physical condition shouldn't be at this level. I always used to think that perhaps I was exceptionally talented, born with this physical constitution. But thinking about it carefully, even someone with an Innate Dao Body like you couldn't possibly have had a physical constitution like mine before reaching the Inner Force Realm. Before you achieved the Inner Force Realm, your physical constitution didn't just leap past your level of martial arts practice and directly reach the Quasi-Inner Force Realm, did it?"
