Chapter 155 Public Relationship?

When Su Ningxue finally reacted, it was as if she had been struck by lightning, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing her disbelief, Ye Fan could only quietly disperse the Heaven Concealing Art, revealing his Core Formation Realm, First Level cultivation.

"How about it? Do you believe me now?"

"This..."

Su Ningxue's beautiful eyes seemed to undergo an earthquake, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

How long had it been since Ye Fan's Epiphany and Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Sixth Level? He had already successfully achieved Core Formation?!

Su Ningxue had some reason to be proud of achieving Core Formation before the age of thirty, but compared to Ye Fan, it was absolutely nothing.

A Core Formation Realm Expert under the age of twenty—this kind of Aptitude was unique even in the Central Continent. Countless top-tier forces would fight tooth and nail to recruit him.

It took Su Ningxue a long time to recover from her shock, but her pretty face instantly flushed to the extreme, clearly remembering what Ye Fan had said before.

Ye Fan was about to say something, but Su Ningxue interrupted him directly.

"No... regardless of what outsiders say... as for Wan'er... I..."

Everything had happened too suddenly; Su Ningxue was clearly not mentally prepared.

She had originally thought that for Ye Fan to successfully achieve Core Formation, it would take at least several decades.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, Ye Fan would actually succeed in Core Formation? For a moment, she was at a loss, having no idea how to face everything that would follow.

The gossip of outsiders was secondary, but Murong Wan was a disciple Su Ningxue had raised herself, yet she also happened to be Ye Fan's Dao Companion.

Su Ningxue didn't dare to imagine how she would react after finding out, or how the two of them would interact in the future.

Seeing that Su Ningxue still couldn't make up her mind, Ye Fan didn't force her.

Since he didn't want to expose his cultivation yet anyway, it was the perfect time to give Su Ningxue some space.

"By the way, here's a gift for you. I should have given it to you last time, but unfortunately, you were in seclusion."

"A gift? What gift?"

"A youth retention pill."

"A youth retention pill?!"

Su Ningxue was slightly stunned, her pretty face couldn't help but redden.

Although she had achieved Core Formation early and her appearance hadn't changed much since then.

Time would always leave some marks on one's face, and only by taking a youth retention pill could these be completely eliminated.

In the past, Su Ningxue hadn't cared about such things, even thinking that aging gracefully might be a good choice.

But after meeting Ye Fan, these concepts were quietly changing.

Especially after You Tan appeared, an unspeakable complex emotion surged in her heart.

Su Ningxue swallowed the youth retention pill without hesitation. Her already delicate skin became even whiter and smoother, and even her proud peaks became more upright, making it impossible for Ye Fan to look away.

"Ningxue, you are truly beautiful."

Seeing that Ye Fan showed signs of being impulsive again, Su Ningxue couldn't help but scold him.

"The Sect Head has summoned me; I have a meeting to attend in a while."

"Then we should hurry even more."

"You... how annoying... there's not enough time."

"That depends on your skill."

Although it wasn't the first time, Su Ningxue still felt extremely ashamed whenever they did this. After hesitating for a long while, she finally made up her mind.

"If you dare tell Wan'er, I'll kill you," Su Ningxue threatened with a flushed face.

Although Ye Fan said he wouldn't, his mind had already flown to the Nine Heavens.

That mischievous smirk said everything, making Su Ningxue even more embarrassed.

"You... mmm..."

It was unknown how much time had passed before Su Ningxue hurriedly left the room and rushed toward Tongtian Peak. It seemed she was destined to be late.

Ye Fan lay on the bed looking physically and mentally refreshed, secretly planning how to make their relationship public, especially in a way that would be easier for Murong Wan to accept.

"It really is a difficult problem."

Ye Fan could only lament the tricks of fate; he hadn't expected that a chance encounter back then would lead to so much trouble.

Of course, if the heavens gave him another chance, Ye Fan would definitely make the same choice.

Having nothing else to do, Ye Fan went to the Unmanned Valley in the back mountain to hone his Divine Abilities. He hadn't had time to familiarize himself with those three secret techniques after refining them.

If outsiders knew, they would surely curse Ye Fan for wasting such precious treasures.

After his cultivation broke through to the Core Formation Realm, Ye Fan's control over Heaven-Ranked Divine Abilities had clearly increased significantly.

In the past, he could at most exert one-tenth of their power, but now it had surged to one-fifth.

Not long ago, he had to give his all just to resist Dao Xuan's Four Symbols Dao Sword, but now he even had the confidence to defeat that Sect Head of the Middle Three Sects.

Ye Fan performed the Nine Heavens Thunder Movement again; not only was his speed several times faster, but he could even condense a Clone with thirty percent of his original body's strength.

Although it didn't seem very useful, it might have miraculous effects if used properly.

The sealing power of the Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand was several times stronger, making it easy to trap opponents in the same realm.

Ye Fan performed the Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art, and golden dragon scales that were almost tangible grew all over his body, a complete world apart from the effects he used to manifest with spiritual energy.

"My defensive power is at least three times stronger. As for attack power... Dragon Sucking Water!"

Ye Fan exerted force with his right hand as if it were a black hole swallowing everything. A giant boulder a hundred feet away was instantly crushed by the powerful gravitational pull, turning into sandstorm-like dust that surged toward him.

If the target were a living person, they would probably have been torn to pieces long ago.

"Transforming into dragon scales is just the most basic of basics. Next, there's transforming the dragon skin, dragon bones, and even changing the Bloodline, eventually soaring through the Universe like a Divine Dragon."

Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel his heart swell with emotion, and it took quite an effort for him to barely calm down.

"Next, let's try this Move."

Ye Fan summoned the meteorite blade he had previously captured. Its quality, which was close to that of a Spirit Treasure, gave it unimaginable power.

If used to perform the Thunder Prison Divine Blade, few in the Core Formation Realm would likely be able to withstand a single strike.

The Thunder Prison Divine Blade is divided into five forms named Earth Splitter, Mountain Crasher, Heaven Opener, Sky Shatterer, and Return to Chaos.

The power of each Move is several times that of the previous one, and the fifth form, Return to Chaos, even has the power to kill enemies of a higher level.

If Ye Fan performed it with all his might, even a Golden Core Realm Great Cultivator would have to temporarily avoid its edge.

Ye Fan gave it a small test using only the third form, Heaven Opener, but the power was still far beyond his imagination.

Looking at the hundreds-of-feet-deep valley he had created with his own hands, Ye Fan's spirit was dazed for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

With just the third form, Ye Fan had the ability to easily change the terrain—something that even many veteran Core Formation Realm Cultivators could not achieve.

If he performed the fifth form with all his might, Ye Fan even had the confidence to slash a thousand-foot-high peak in half.

Of course, with his current cultivation, he might not be able to do that yet, but he would certainly be able to before stepping into the Golden Core Realm.

The Thunder Prison Divine Blade is somewhat like an ultimate Move; although its power is immense, its consumption is equally staggering, so it's best not to use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.

If one fails to finish off the opponent during a fight, they will inevitably suffer a great loss.

The Holy Spirit Sword Technique is the complete opposite. Except for the earth-shattering killing Move of the Twenty-Third Form, the power of the other Moves increases gradually, allowing Ye Fan to use them as he pleases.
