Chapter 71: Opportunity to Breakthrough!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the square, spiritual qi suddenly burst into the sky!
All the disciples that were present were shocked by the sudden eruption of spiritual qi.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Chen Qingke.
There was no doubt that the burst of powerful spiritual qi came from her.
When Chen Qingke and Fang Ao exchanged blows just now, the bronze cauldron was shattered, and Chen Qingke was sent flying. At the same time, Chen Qingke had been under immense pressure!
It was at that moment when her cultivation loosened!
She was already at the intermediate-stage foundation establishment realm, and she was only one step away from breaking through to the late stage of the foundation establishment realm!
She had finally gotten her opportunity to make a breakthrough through this battle with Fang Ao.
Although the battle was merely a spar and Fang Ao had not actually used his true abilities, the pressure of fighting a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator was enough for Chen Qingke.
She had successfully entered the late stage of the foundation establishment realm!
When the spiritual qi gradually converged and dissipated, a smile surfaced on Chen Qingke’s face.
Breakthroughs in cultivation did not only require hard work or talent, luck also played a big part in it.
A perfect example of this was the situation taking place right now, with the proper opportunity and setup, Chen Qingke had been able to break through.
If a person was lucky and found an opportunity, they would then naturally be able to break through.
With the increase in her cultivation, the pressure that she originally felt from the assessment also disappeared instantly. She cupped her hands and looked at Fang Ao.
“Thank you for your help, Senior Fang.”
“I have now entered the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.”
Hearing Chen Qingke’s words of gratitude, Fang Ao’s face suddenly became a little unnatural.
Originally, he had not planned to go all out when he fought with Chen Qingke.
After all, the other party’s identity and reputation in the sect were not to be easily dismissed, and she was also extremely talented.
Placing all of that into consideration, Fang Ao naturally would not do anything untoward to Chen Qingke, especially with the consecrators present.
However, he never expected Chen Qingke to make a breakthrough during the assessment. Moreover, he was directly involved in helping her breakthrough!
It truly was completely outside of his expectations.
The consecrators who had come to spectate were very satisfied when they saw Chen Qingke’s breakthrough.
It was naturally to the benefit of the sect to have such a talented and outstanding disciple.
With Chen Qingke’s apparent talent, it appeared that she would be able to complete her core formation and reach the golden core realm within the next two years!
While the gap between the late-stage foundation establishment realm and the golden core realm may not seem huge to those who were not in the know, this was a gap that was incredibly difficult for ordinary people to traverse!
Most cultivators who did manage to reach the late-stage foundation establishment realm were actually unable to ultimately make that one last step to reach the golden core realm.
There were cultivators who, even after tens of years, could not make that breakthrough.
But from talented Chen Qingke appeared to be, with how she had gone from the qi refinement realm to the late-stage foundation establishment realm in just one year, she could be regarded as a true prodigy!
“Junior Martial Sister, congratulations on your breakthrough.”
Although Fang Ao was inwardly very dissatisfied with the fact, he could only congratulate the other party.
With the consecrators present, he did not dare to act rashly.
After all, the other party had originally already held great importance to the sect.
And now, with her having broken through to the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, the sect would definitely pay even greater attention to Chen Qingke and take even greater care in nurturing her.
After Chen Qingke completed the assessment, the other disciples also went forward to take the assessment.
Among these people, Fang Ao attacked with greater resolution.
Moreover, he seemed even more callous than before.
There were even two disciples who were defeated by Fang Ao on the spot. His speed was so fast that he did not even give the other party any room to display their strength.
Although the cultivation of the two disciples was indeed not high enough, it was obvious that Fang Ao had increased the strength he was using for the assessment.
Out of the five disciples other than Chen Qingke, three of them had already failed the assessment.
They would soon then have to face the punishment of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Now, it was Li Ming’s turn.
He was the last to take the assessment.
It was not because Li Ming wanted to be last to take part in the assessment, but because the Martial Hall, which he was in, simply had no presence in the Divine Will Sect.
The reason for this arrangement was as simple as that.
The Martial Hall, which was barely even known throughout the sect, was naturally at the very bottom of the ranks among the different halls.
As for Li Ming?
When he was in the inner and outer sect, he was already very famous. After all, he was someone who had been regarded as an up-and-coming genius and was the center of attention at the very beginning. It was only slightly later on that his image transformed into one of a good-for-nothing trash.
In the end, he managed to reach the body cultivation foundation establishment realm before entering the core area of the Divine Will Sect.
However, Li Ming entering the Martial Hall also made many disciples think that the sect had given up on him.
After all, it was considered common knowledge that there was no future in body cultivation.
Most disciples, not knowing much about Li Ming, believed that he would not pass the assessment.
Li Ming’s exploits during his latest mission were not revealed or announced to the rest of the sect. In fact, every disciple’s mission recently had become strictly confidential.
It was only the elders who were made privy to such information.
It was also because of this reason that many disciples were not fond of Li Ming at all.
“Li Ming, it’s your turn.”
“Let me remind you that if you fail this test, the punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall will not be light!”
Fang Ao said.
He already hated Li Ming, and his mood turned even worse after Chen Qingke’s breakthrough. Now, he wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.
It just so happened that Li Ming was a body cultivation foundation establishment cultivator. His skin was rough, and his flesh was thick, so he was the perfect candidate for him to let out his anger!
“Senior Brother Fang, please advise me.”
Li Ming did not waste any time.
This assessment was inevitable.
Li Ming still wanted to get more resources from the sect after the assessment.
After all, he did not have any spirit stones at the moment.
Just relying on merit points to exchange for things he needed would not be enough.
On the square, Li Ming walked forward.
The surrounding disciples began chatting amongst themselves nonstop.
“He’s Li Ming?”
“The person who reached the foundation establishment realm through body cultivation?”
“What is the use of cultivating your body? To become a sandbag?”
“That’s right. I heard that this kid’s talent in qi cultivation is not bad. Even the elders of the inner and outer sect had advised him to cultivate qi, but he just did not listen.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll get to see just how powerful he really is. He’s already been arranged to some Martial Hall by the sect. It’s obvious that he’s been abandoned!”
The disciples all started to mock Li Ming, holding him in utter disregard.
The onlookers were all outstanding disciples of the sect.
They were also the backbone of the sect.
Chen Qingke was not happy about the disciples’ attitude toward Li Ming, but she did not defend him as she usually did.
After witnessing Li Ming’s strength, Chen Qingke knew that her senior brother would use his own strength to shut these people up!
“You reached the body cultivation foundation establishment realm, right? Does that mean that you’ll be fine even if I hit a little harder than usual?”
“Since you chose to cultivate your body to the foundation establishment realm, your defense should be pretty good.”
Before they even began fighting, Fang Ao already began his verbal attack.
At the same time, he was also giving himself an excuse.
After all, even though he had just gone through three other disciples after Chen Qingke, Fang Ao had still not managed to vent his displeasure.
Now that Li Ming had appeared before him, he naturally wanted to properly release his anger and dissatisfaction!
At the same time, he also wanted Li Ming to pay for the arrogance that he displayed at him previously!
Seeing Li Ming’s calm expression, Fang Ao grew even more displeased.
A mere body cultivator with a cultivation level that was merely at the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm was not only disrespectful to his senior brother, but even seemed to regard him with contempt!
