He didn't, but I am afraid that Hong Yulong is making a breakthrough, about to enter the Infant Realm. At that point, he might even be able to contend with those strong enough to be Half-Step to Godhood. What if we cross paths in the Sky East Tournament? I can't expose all my strength; what if I lose?
Jiang Anbo was somewhat worried. Although he felt that the person before him, who had always been difficult to gauge, had grown powerful enough that even the rules could not bind him, Hong Yulong's strength was evident to all. Yan Dong had been competing in the Grand Arena, and so far, even disciples from the Six Major Sects had appeared, yet Hong Yulong had not lost a single match. His power was truly astonishing.
He had come this far, and on one hand, his spirit and energy had been honed to a certain extent. Those who were not up to par would only serve as stepping stones for him. Meanwhile, those who were on par with Hong Yulong would rather avoid drawing attention than risk their own morale. If they lost, it could deal a significant blow to the entire Sect's spirit. Would I say Coco would lose?
The two analyzed while watching Hong Yulong's match.
After hearing Gu Ping's words, Jiang Anbo frowned, somewhat confused.
Since they couldn't engage in genuine sparring, why bother seeking out more matches? Wasn't it just wasting energy?
But with each victory, Hong Yulong's momentum would rise again. Knowing that he could break through to a new realm one day, would I say he wouldn't seek more matches?
Why rush a breakthrough? Wasn't that self-destructive?
He was being pushed too hard.
Gu Ping smiled and stopped speaking. He knew how eager Hong Yulong was to break through to Nascent Soul; his rapid progress had inadvertently revealed Jiang Ping's strength.
What they didn't know was that Gu Ping held two major foundations within him. He had been wandering in them for months, naturally raising his realm as the tide rises with the water. Especially before Transcendence, regardless of mindset, just looking at cultivation level, his speed of breakthrough was unmatched. However, once he reached Transcendence, that rapid pace of breakthroughs would likely vanish quickly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Anbo secretly observed Gu Ping. He always felt that every time he saw that person again, there would be significant progress. It had been nearly a month since their last encounter; could it be that this person had already entered the Infant Realm?
As Jiang Anbo pondered, he suddenly shivered, trying his best to avoid thinking too much about it. Yet, he couldn't help but feel that Gu Ping must have already been reborn. However, until Gu Ping vanished from his sight, Jiang Anbo did not dare to ask.
As he was leaving, he accidentally bumped into Tan Siyuan, who was rushing toward the arena from the outer hall. Looking at the unfamiliar cultivator who was sizing him up, Tan Siyuan felt a strange sense of familiarity. But in the blink of an eye, that person had already disappeared.
What happened?
Seeing Tan Siyuan come over with a distracted expression, Wen Ren asked with concern. He recalled Gu Ping, who had brought along Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. The young girl who was returning to the academy was genuinely liked by everyone in the Outer Court. Even Qin Wenjun, who had been sulking since exiting the secret realm, smiled and exchanged a few words with Tan Siyuan.
It felt like seeing the senior brother just now.
Wen Ren did not respond. Everyone in Yan Dong Academy knew that Gu Ping had turned the tide in the Eastern Extreme Secret Realm, slaughtering the Nine Nether Golden Cultivators. It was hard to believe that this was the same person who had narrowly survived in Light Canon a few years ago. Many outside the Sect were eagerly hoping that Jade Void Sect could capture him and swiftly execute him to vacate the Chief of the Academy position.
Some were already impatiently seeking to claim that position for themselves, while those Old Men were wary of this rising young cultivator whose power grew with each passing month. They feared another Yin Tianheng might emerge, someone capable of overwhelming tens of thousands in Dust Realm. They sought to use their influence to expel Gu Ping from the academy.
Bu Luo placed great importance on the master-disciple relationship within Master-Disciple Lineage. With Liu Shizu working behind the scenes and Gu Ping's remarkable achievements in Eastern Extreme Secret Realm, his reputation soared in Outer Court. He became recognized as another master brother after Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. This made his master hesitate to take action on a matter that had been dragged on for too long.
But everyone knew that with Yan Dong's encirclement from Tai Xu Sect and Beginning Gate, Gu Ping would not appear at Sky East Tournament no matter what. As time passed beyond the standards set for Sky East Tournament, it seemed destined that he would miss out on that grand event.
Bu Luo found it quite strange; those who should have been anxious were instead unmotivated, while Yuxu was tirelessly searching for Gu Ping. There were many unknown secrets behind this situation—secrets that those cultivators from Dust Realm could only speculate about.
Watching the distracted Tan Siyuan, Wen Ren gently patted his shoulder and shook his head apologetically at those clear eyes.
