Rapid Improvement

Ever since Vaan had ascended to the 490th Mountain Step, he had long drawn the attention of everyone around the Black Mountain. Even the elderly warriors from the 495th Mountain Step and beyond were no exception.

After all, anyone who could practice under the gravitational pressure of the 490th to 530th Mountain Steps was considered a top powerhouse in the entire Great Ratholos Empire.

As such, while the ordinary observing warriors at the foot of the mountain were full of shock and disbelief, these elderly warriors' reactions to Vaan's ascension were milder. Rather, they were mostly amazed than shocked.

However, that amazement quickly turned into shock when Vaan reached the 540th Mountain Step.
