632: Chapter 632 Jiang Li!!
His gaze swept across the square, looking at faces both familiar and unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.
A few months ago, he was just a New Student who had just stepped into the Taixuan Holy Land, full of curiosity and awe for everything here.
And now, he was already standing at the finish line of the Outer Court assessment, about to welcome a new starting point.
The journey here hadn't been easy.
...
In a corner of the square, five female Holy Land Disciples were conversing.
They were dressed in gowns of various colors, and their appearances were all extremely beautiful; standing together, they looked like a brilliant painting, attracting the gazes of many male Disciples.
“I wonder what rank our team will be able to achieve this time?”
A woman dressed in a goose-yellow gown spoke, her voice carrying a hint of expectation and a bit of nervousness.
“Definitely within the top hundred; as for exactly where, I don't know.”
Another woman dressed in a pale pink gown joined the conversation, her tone quite confident.
“Anyway, we definitely won't reach the top hundred; those teams with Heavenly Ladder Clearers are just too monstrous.”
The third woman shook her head, pouring cold water on the idea.
Her words caused the others to fall silent for a moment.
Indeed, those teams with Heavenly Ladder Clearers were practically like existences with cheat codes.
A single Heavenly Ladder Clearer was enough to support a top-tier strong team.
And some teams even had two or three Heavenly Ladder Clearers.
Competing with such teams, being able to enter the top hundred was already considered very good.
“Qingyue, aren't you and that Qin Yan from the same hometown? Do you know how many Contribution Points Qin Yan's team earned?”
At this time, the woman in the goose-yellow gown turned her head to the side and asked.
Following her gaze, one could see a woman in a pale blue gown standing there quietly.
She had a slender figure and a cold, elegant face, with long blue hair cascading down to her waist.
The pale blue gown fluttered gently in the breeze, making her look like a Fairy stepped out of a painting.
It was Lin Qingyue.
Hearing her companion's question, Lin Qingyue merely spoke indifferently: “Everyone has been busy lately; he and I haven't been in contact.”
Her voice was calm and detached.
During this period, she had been working hard to Cultivate every day, and then performing missions with her team, with almost no leisure time.
Her schedule was packed full, with little time even for rest, let alone contacting Qin Yan.
However, the hard work during this time had not been in vain.
Her strength had made massive progress during this period.
Her Qi Refining Realm had already entered the Sixth-Grade Late Stage!
This was no small Breakthrough, meaning her true strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
However, her Body Refining Realm was very average.
After all, she didn't Cultivate a powerful Body Refining Cultivation Technique, and she couldn't compare to those Prodigies who practiced Dual Cultivation of body and Qi.
But Lin Qingyue didn't care.
She had the blessing of her Innate Divine Abnormality—that was her innate talent, the foundation of her existence.
With this Innate Divine Abnormality, her combat power was not weak even among First Grade Disciples.
Therefore, when forming teams this time, people had sent her invitations.
In their team, there were a total of three Special Grade Disciples and two First Grade Disciples; their strength was quite impressive.
The few of them had coordinated tacitly during missions, supporting each other, and had made it all the way to the present.
Ultimately, the cumulative Contribution Points their team obtained reached eleven thousand eight hundred and one!
Eleven thousand eight hundred and one!
This number, placed among the thousands of teams in the entire Outer Court, was definitely among the best.
Entering the top hundred teams would be no problem at all.
“Well, okay then.”
The woman who asked was not disappointed upon hearing this.
She had just asked casually.
She was just a little bit curious.
“But Qingyue, can you introduce this Qin Yan to me? I know that you and that Qin Yan are not just from the same hometown, but also from the same country and the same region.”
The one speaking was a Special Grade Disciple in the team.
Her name was Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was tall and curvaceous, with exquisite lines, having curves in all the right places.
Her long, beautiful legs were straight and powerful, her waist was slender yet resilient; standing there, she was like a fully drawn bow, full of power and beauty.
Her features were three-dimensional and distinct, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, her nose bridge high, and her lip line sharp.
Her long hair was tied high in a neat ponytail, with a few stray strands falling by her ears, fluttering gently in the wind.
At this moment, she was holding Lin Qingyue's arm, her gaze carrying a hint of expectation.
The name Qin Yan was definitely the most discussed topic among the female Disciples of the East Courtyard recently.
A monstrous talent, powerful strength, a Heavenly Ladder Clearer...
Ordinary origin, ordinary background, Cultivating a super difficult Cultivation Technique...
Therefore, Qin Yan's reputation among the female Disciples showed a clear polarization.
One group of female Disciples believed that Qin Yan would not achieve great things.
His Cultivation Technique was too difficult.
The Five Elements Primordial Scripture was a technique they had all heard of more or less—the cultivation difficulty was extremely high, and every Realm was a hurdle.
At low Realms, one might barely be able to manage, but at high Realms, one could get stuck at any time, unable to move an inch.
When that time came, the path of the Dao would be severed, and all previous efforts would be wasted.
But another group of female Disciples believed that Qin Yan was a potential stock.
Since he could reach the summit of the Heavenly Stairway and stand out from countless Prodigies, it showed he had enough Comprehension Ability and perseverance to overcome the troubles of the Cultivation Technique.
Once such a person grew up, their future would be limitless.
If Qin Yan lacked resources, they would give him resources.
If he lacked background, they would become his background.
One must know, among the Disciples who could come to the Taixuan Holy Land, which one didn't have a powerful background behind them?
Some had a True King presiding in their Family, some had a Venerable guarding them, and some were even related to a True Emperor.
These backgrounds, placed in the Taixuan Realm, were all famous and influential.
If they could pull Qin Yan into their own camp, it would be a great thing both for them personally and for the families behind them.
Of course, these people were all still watching for now.
They wanted to see first if Qin Yan could break through the massive threshold of a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster.
A Grandmaster was the watershed between a Genius and a mediocrity.
How many once-stunning Geniuses had suffered defeat before this threshold, eventually fading into obscurity.
Whether Qin Yan could cross this hurdle would determine his future height and whether he was worth investing in.
Jiang Li belonged to the wait-and-see faction.
Her Family was also considered a top-tier power in the Taixuan Realm.
She came to the Taixuan Holy Land this time not only to Cultivate but also for an important task—befriending Prodigies and recruiting talents for her Family.
Qin Yan was undoubtedly one of her targets.
“I can befriend him first now, so it will be easier to make a move later.”
Jiang Li thought secretly to herself.
She wasn't the type who would just wait.
She liked to take the initiative.
