Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 733: Chapter 377: Heavenly Pride, Rift_3

“None of the above, I have checked, Lu Yun has been an Official Disciple for just over a year,” Chen Zong said with a complex look on his face, relating the information he had found slowly.

“To be specific, it has been only one year and three months since he became an Official Disciple.”

“At the time he became an Official Disciple, he was merely at the Late Stage Golden Core Realm.”

“But now, he has already reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm.”

“In just over a year, he progressed from the Late Stage Golden Core Realm to the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm?!” Fang Dazhi exclaimed in shock, the least able to contain his surprise out of the group.

However, this was a quite normal reaction; anyone else who learned of this would hardly behave any better than Fang Dazhi.

Even Liu Yeqing, who usually loved to delve into the intricacies of the mind, could not hide the surprise on his face.

As for Tan Jinglan, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, both shocked to learn of Lu Yun’s sudden emergence as a Heavenly Pride and feeling pity for Liu Yeqing.

“Lu Yun? He broke through one major realm and seven minor realms in one year? Is there such a monstrous talent?” Liu Yeqing mused to himself, with complex light flickering in his eyes.

“Elder Brother Liu…” Tan Jinglan, ever perceptive, noticed Liu Yeqing’s unusual mood and felt somewhat worried.

Liu Yeqing shook his head: “Let’s part ways for today; although I did not pass the eleventh level of the Forbidden Tower, I gained some insights that I need to contemplate thoroughly back at home.”

“Alright, travel safely, Elder Brother Liu!” Fang Dazhi bowed slightly and took his leave.

Tan Jinglan gave Liu Yeqing a complex look, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start, and ultimately with a light sigh, she delicately walked away, leaving behind a faint trail of her fragrance.

“With such information at hand, why didn’t you tell me in private instead of embarrassing me in front of those two?”

After Fang Dazhi and Tan Jinglan had left, Liu Yeqing’s expression darkened completely as he cast a severe glance at Chen Zong and scolded: “What use have I for someone as tactless as you!”

By then, gone was his earlier humility; nothing remained but an abdomen full of jealousy and dissatisfaction, along with an air of frustration.

The investor slot for Huang Feng was not just a matter of substantial resources for him but also a matter of honor.

Its importance was far greater than he had previously let on.

At that moment, Chen Zong’s face flushed red, and had it not been for his dark complexion masking it, he would have looked even more overly flushed.

Both being Official Disciples, their status was roughly equal.

In terms of realm, he was also at the eighth level of the Heavenly Human Realm. With such strength, even among the foremost batch of Official Disciples, he was close to reaching the Unity Realm.

But thinking of the other’s talent and power, he endured it.

What mattered most was that, a year ago, he had already covertly pledged his allegiance to Liu Yeqing.

At that time, Liu Yeqing had been more humble, even treating Chen Zong, who had come to pledge loyalty, with a posture of equality.

Today was the first time he had been scolded.

Seeing that Chen Zong looked upset, Liu Yeqing said, “Junior Brother Chen Zong, I apologize for my tone earlier.”

Chen Zong shook his head: “It’s fine, the previous incident was indeed my fault. I hadn’t considered everything, which led Elder Brother Liu into an embarrassing situation.”

Liu Yeqing gently patted Chen Zong’s shoulder, “Let’s head back, we can talk on the way.”

“Okay,” Chen Zong replied, nodding.

The two strolled along, Chen Zong always maintaining half a body’s distance from Liu Yeqing, walking silently.

Under the setting sun, their shadows stretched long and far.

After reaching a fork in the road, Liu Yeqing fell silent for a while, gradually calming his emotions, and his face regained its self-assured smile.

“Junior Brother Chen Zong, I want you to gather all the information on Lu Yun within three days. Can you do it?”

“Yes, I can,” Chen Zong nodded.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Junior Brother Chen. Once I become an Elite Disciple, I will surely not forget what you’ve done for me!” Before departing, Liu Yeqing left behind a promise.

Watching Liu Yeqing’s receding figure, a complex expression surfaced on Chen Zong’s dark face.

He and Liu Yeqing were both Official Disciples in the Heavenly Human Realm, yet there was a great gap between them.

His potential was limited; the ninth level of the Heavenly Human Realm might be his limit.

But Liu Yeqing was different; becoming an Official Disciple for just over a decade, he had risen to the ninth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

It was certain he would not be obstructed by the tenth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and he even had prospects of reaching the eleventh level.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Besides, Liu Yeqing had always presented himself with a humble demeanor, and even when he occasionally showed a hint of pride and confidence, it was still within an acceptable range.

That was why Chen Zong had chosen to side with him.

However, after what had just transpired, the thought of whether to continue following Liu Yeqing had unexpectedly crossed Chen Zong’s mind.

Even though Liu Yeqing had promptly apologized, it only slightly diminished that thought.

Regardless, the incident had left a crack in his heart.

…

In a Cultivation Room.

Lu Yun sneezed and muttered, “Could it be that someone is thinking of me?”
