The seven figures walked side by side, each exuding an aura of menace. Yet, more prominently, they carried an air of ease and contentment. It was Ye Wushuang, Li Wenbo, Qing Shiyu, Su Jin Yue, Mu Qiqi, Chu Qiancheng, and Shui Wanrong—two men and five women, who quickly drew everyone’s attention. Indeed, Qing Shiyu, Su Jin Yue, Mu Qiqi, and Chu Qiancheng were all stunning beauties, like buds on the verge of blooming, captivating the hearts and souls of all who beheld them. Although Shui Wanrong was also beautiful, she seemed to play the role of a foil when standing alongside these four women.
“Ye… Wu… Shuang…” Gu Qingyi and Tian Xu both caught sight of the figure that sent shivers down their spines. In an instant, countless eyes were fixed upon the group of seven.
Li Wenbo stretched languidly at that moment and said with a sense of relief, “What a comfort! It’s finally over!”
Beside him, Su Jin Yue couldn’t help but remark, “Senior Brother Li, you must have been the most comfortable these past two weeks, right?”
Hearing this, Li Wenbo was reminded of the experiences of the past fortnight and couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. Ye Wushuang had been ruthless! The prodigies and geniuses from the Seven Great Sects and the Ten Nations were almost entirely wiped out. In the last half-month, there had been no challenge left. Ye Wushuang led the six of them into the mountains to hunt and battle high-level third-tier spirit beasts—beasts with the strength of the seventh, eighth, or ninth layers of the Tian Gang realm! At first, Li Wenbo thought Ye Wushuang had gone mad. But compared to Ye Wushuang, Qing Shiyu was even more relentless. Perhaps the death of her sister, Qing Shihua, had driven her to the brink. This woman threw herself into cultivation and combat as if her life depended on it.
In just those two weeks together, the group of seven made the most significant progress in the entire three months of the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest. Li Wenbo advanced from the fourth layer to the fifth layer of the Tian Gang realm. Su Jin Yue remained at the fourth layer. Ye Wushuang broke through from the third layer to the fifth. Chu Qiancheng also reached the first layer of the Tian Gang realm. The most astonishing was Qing Shiyu, who leaped three layers in just half a month, from the second layer to the fifth layer of the Tian Gang realm. The Pure Yuan Spirit Body was truly formidable! Coupled with Qing Shiyu’s reckless cultivation, her realm ascended even faster than Ye Wushuang’s, who was already considered a prodigy.
During these two weeks, Li Wenbo had indeed not engaged in much combat. But he was almost driven to despair—by Ye Wushuang. For some reason, Ye Wushuang focused on him and Su Jin Yue. Sometimes, after battling a spirit beast, he would pull the two aside to quiz them on their understanding of cultivation, their grasp of realm progression, and their control over their own power. It felt as if…
Ye Wushuang was more nagging than their own masters!
In fact, Li Wenbo had an odd sensation several times. When Ye Wushuang was teaching him and Su Jin Yue, he felt as if Ye Wushuang treated him like a grandson and Su Jin Yue like a granddaughter! The look, the tone—Li Wenbo sensed a sense of seniority that one would expect from an elder to a junior. What was going on with this guy?
However, the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest was finally coming to an end. He would soon find out what was next.
“Huh?”
But soon, Li Wenbo realized something was amiss. The seven of them seemed to have become the center of everyone’s attention.
At that moment, on the Spirit Sword Mountain platform, Su Xuanye and Shi Wuheng both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Li Wenbo and Su Jin Yue. They were safe, which was a great relief. But… why were these two youngsters walking with Ye Wushuang? Su Xuanye felt a vague sense of unease.
“Master!”
Li Wenbo stepped into the vast martial arena and waved excitedly towards the direction of Spirit Sword Mountain, “Master, I’ve reached the fifth layer of the Tian Gang realm. Isn’t that amazing?”
From a distance, Su Xuanye could only see Li Wenbo’s shiny bald head shaking back and forth.
“Damn it, this is so embarrassing!”
Su Xuanye ignored him and sat down, covering his face with his hand. His foolish disciple was such a disgrace!
At that moment, Li Wenbo chuckled, “Junior Sister, look, Master is waving at me!”
Su Jin Yue replied dryly, “That’s because he’s too ashamed to face you, okay?”
“…”
Li Wenbo laughed awkwardly, “Never mind, never mind. Ye, come on, let’s show everyone your Spirit Points. Blind them with your brilliance!”
Ye Wushuang took a deep breath and looked at the jade stele ahead. Finally, the three months were over!
He wondered how his mother, sister, and the others had been during these three months.
“Let’s go!”
The seven of them approached the jade stele one by one and merged their tokens into it.
