405: How did he break through to the late stage of Shi Shen in just three months!

“With only this much skill, you still want to challenge Jiang Yuan?”

On the Martial Arts Arena, An Miao looked coldly at the young man in front of her: “You should just give up.”

After An Miao finished speaking, she turned and left.

Only the unwilling young man remained behind, staring at An Miao’s retreating figure.

“It’s just that I didn’t understand your ability, that’s all! I will definitely defeat Jiang Yuan! You can’t stop me!”

“Even if we fight ten more times, I’ll still kill you!”

An Miao stopped in her tracks after hearing his words and spoke.

“Tsk tsk, is that all?”

Ji Daolong, in the audience, also crossed his arms, shaking his head with a smile in his eyes.

He had thought the opponent was incredibly formidable, but it turned out he was defeated without Ji Daolong even needing to make a move.

Ji Daolong stood up and also left the Martial Arts Arena, returning to continue his cultivation.

Wu Ying had already successfully broken through to the Seventh Realm, so he couldn't fall behind.

However, it was fortunate that Wu Ying had successfully broken through, otherwise that guy would have to take another beating.

Wu Ying’s strength was truly terrifying.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been suppressed by her for so long; one must know that they were from the same batch.

He had been truly and utterly suppressed all the way up.

Now, she had even broken through before him.

He had originally thought he would need to make an appearance today, but the opponent couldn’t even get past An Miao.

It wasted his time.

“Is that all?”

“He boasted so much; I thought he was incredibly formidable, but he couldn't even defeat the third-ranked.”

“She’s the fourth-ranked; she only moved up to third because someone else broke through.”

“He was so aggressive before the match, even saying if he couldn’t beat Jiang Yuan, he’d eat from here to there. Looks like another guy trying to freeload.”

“Laughing so hard, he didn’t even get to see Jiang Yuan and was directly crushed.”

“I’m dying of laughter, is that all?”

“He said the Four School Joint Examination champion had no value; I think his All-Continent Academy League champion has even less value.”

“Indeed, Four Top Academies are Four Top Academies.”

“Indeed, the value of the Four Top Academies is still continuously increasing.”

“Truly useless.”

“All talk.”

Looking at the comments online, which were all about him, the Old Principal couldn’t help but shake his head.

He had to admit, this guy had his merits.

At the very least, he believed his own boasts.

How could that not be considered a skill?

It was just that falling directly before An Miao was indeed a bit embarrassing.

He had originally thought he could challenge Ji Daolong.

The Old Principal shook his head slightly and no longer paid attention to these matters.

After all, what he had promised Li Yueying was already over.

It was enough that that guy didn't go challenge Jiang Yuan.

However, while the Old Principal stopped paying attention, Liu Shaofei was filled with Wrath looking at the online comments.

“No, I must challenge Jiang Yuan!”

Liu Shaofei’s eyes revealed a resolute expression as he continued to challenge An Miao.

Jiang Yuan didn't know what was happening outside; he was still diligently cultivating, striving to break through to the Seventh Realm as soon as possible.

Various thoughts constantly appeared in his mind, making Jiang Yuan No. 2 miserable.

He often had to wait until Mu Qianshan finished cultivating before asking Mu Qianshan to help him find some Skill Cards.

However, this situation was a bit too much trouble for Mu Qianshan.

After all, Mu Qianshan also needed to cultivate.

He even had an impulse to re-create a 【Seventy-Two Transformations·Clone】 for Mu Qianshan.

One Mu Qianshan would cultivate, while the other Mu Qianshan and Jiang Yuan No. 2 would create Skill Cards together.

However, after thinking about it, Jiang Yuan No. 2 decided to abandon this idea for now.

After all, the Clone Skill Card was still too powerful.

He needed to consider it carefully before giving it to someone else.

...

...

Time passed, and after nearly a month, Liu Shaofei finally succeeded in his challenge.

Of course, he only succeeded in challenging An Miao.

“I told you, you can’t stop me!”

After winning the battle, Liu Shaofei looked at An Miao with a proud expression.

An Miao rolled her eyes; how could this guy even say that?

It took him nearly two months to finally succeed in challenging her.

And it was all because of a Skill Card.

He didn't know where he found an invincible red quality Skill Card.

When she launched her first attack, he used this Skill Card to block her strongest attack.

Then, after using a Skill Card that could reveal stealth, he finally managed to defeat her with difficulty.

Is that all?

With only this, he still has the nerve to say...

Forget it, it doesn't matter; a loss is a loss.

Anything said after losing is just an excuse.

“Then, I wish you success in your upcoming challenge against Jiang Yuan.” An Miao smiled slightly and walked off the Martial Arts Arena.

“Of course, he’s just a Shi Shen Early Stage; I don’t believe he can defeat me by crossing two ranks!”

Liu Shaofei’s face was filled with a triumphant expression.

He felt his luck was very good.

After defeating An Miao, he could now directly challenge Jiang Yuan.

Because the original second-ranked, Ji Daolong, while he was challenging An Miao, had also successfully broken through to the Seventh Realm, Quail Head, just like the previous second-ranked, Wu Ying.

That’s why he said his luck was pretty good.

After all, he didn't think he could successfully defeat Ji Daolong.

Compared to An Miao, whose weaknesses were relatively obvious, Ji Daolong could be said to be a completely well-rounded fighter.

And like him, they were both Card Masters.

After Liu Shaofei succeeded in his challenge, he did not walk off the stage but stood directly on it, challenging Jiang Yuan.

“Do you think he can succeed in his challenge?”

“What do you think? He’s challenging Jiang Yuan.”

In the audience, Li Chengyi rolled his eyes: “We’ve all been hammered by him, so how could we not know his strength?”

“You don’t actually believe what he said, that Jiang Yuan reaching first place was just our academy putting on a show, do you?”

Li Chengyi was a bit helpless; recently, a rumor had emerged online.

It claimed that Jiang Yuan’s success in becoming the first-ranked in the sixth-grade rankings was due to Zhongyuan Academy interfering and specifically putting on a show.

After all, this year, among the Four Top Academies, Zhongyuan Academy’s enrollment numbers were much higher than those of the other academies.

This was all thanks to Jiang Yuan.

Coupled with the successive breakthroughs of Wu Ying and Ji Daolong, it further solidified the belief of conspiracy theorists that this was a fixed game.

They claimed that Wu Ying and Ji Daolong had followed the school’s arrangements before their breakthroughs, giving Jiang Yuan a boost.

Liu Shaofei was also a staunch supporter of this claim.

This was why he believed that as long as he defeated An Miao and Ji Daolong, he would be able to defeat Jiang Yuan.

Of course, he didn't need to defeat Ji Daolong now.

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s mobile terminal beep, Old Principal also asked curiously.

“Someone’s challenging me?”

“Challenging you? Who?”

Mu Qianshan, who was drinking water, also leaned over curiously: “Ji Daolong or An Miao?”

“Neither of them, it’s a name I haven’t heard before.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, looking at the information on his mobile terminal: “Liu Shaofei, I don’t know him. Is he someone who recently broke through?”

“I don’t know, but with your current strength, there’s basically no one who can defeat you, right?”

Mu Qianshan pouted, then sat back on the sofa: “If someone challenges you, just go. Defeat him quickly and come back to continue cultivating.”

“Just consider it a diversion in this boring cultivation time.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, stood up, and prepared to walk outside.

They both had already forgotten about the guy who said he wanted to challenge Jiang Yuan a while ago.

“He’s really looking for trouble, challenging Jiang Yuan now.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan leave, Mu Qianshan couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

One must know that Jiang Yuan had just broken through to Shi Shen Late Stage yesterday.

Jiang Yuan hadn’t wasted any of these nearly three months of cultivation.

It was just that the consumption was a bit too great, so great that Mu Qianshan couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

Eighteen red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure!

Although six of those red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure were “wasted” by him.

But that was still a lot!

Especially after Old Principal later created an even more effective elixir, which further accelerated Jiang Yuan’s cultivation speed.

However, Mu Qianshan had already thought about it: this kind of elixir that could increase training speed would definitely sell for a good price.

An elixir made from six red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, he could definitely sell it for an even better price.

Making fifty pills from six red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, wouldn't it be too much to sell these fifty pills for ten red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure?

Although red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure are extremely precious, there are also many rich people in this world.

Especially if they knew that Jiang Yuan, with the help of this elixir, had risen from Shi Shen Early Stage to Shi Shen Late Stage in just three months.

With Jiang Yuan as a living advertisement, this elixir would definitely sell well.

At most, the price would just be a bit cheaper.

Mu Qianshan also felt a little guilty, after all, ten red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure for fifty pills.

And they were consumable elixirs.

He was indeed feeling guilty, as he had never done such a big business before.

Most importantly, their family had never done such a big business either.

After all, their family was just the wealthiest family in a small city.

There are tens of thousands of such wealthy families across the country, if not more.

Mu Qianshan pondered about selling this elixir while beginning to cultivate.

Relying on the Great Firmament Celestial Art and this elixir, he had also successfully broken through to Sixth Realm Solid Star Middle Stage in the past month.

However, he still had some time before catching up to Jiang Yuan, so he needed to cultivate diligently to keep pace with Jiang Yuan’s progress.

How many good friends drift apart because the gap in their strength realms becomes too wide?

He couldn't let that happen.

Even though he preferred business, the more high-end something was, the more money it made.

Coupled with the capital Jiang Yuan had given him, he naturally had to work hard.

When it's time to work hard, you must work hard; you can't wait until later to regret it.

While Mu Qianshan was diligently cultivating at home, Jiang Yuan also arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

On the Martial Arts Arena, there was a very unfamiliar face.

“Are you the one challenging me?”

Jiang Yuan’s arrival also drew cheers from the audience in the Martial Arts Arena.

After smiling and greeting the audience, Jiang Yuan came to the Martial Arts Arena and asked the person in front of him.

“Yes, my name is Liu Shaofei.”

Liu Shaofei looked at Jiang Yuan, the excitement in his eyes almost overflowing.

“Did you just break through?”

Jiang Yuan was a bit curious: “Your strength is good; you defeated An Miao and Ji Daolong so quickly now.”

Jiang Yuan had been cultivating at home and didn’t know that Ji Daolong had already broken through to the Seventh Realm.

He only knew that Wu Ying had successfully broken through to the Seventh Realm.

To be honest, Wu Ying’s strength was still very strong; to defeat her, Jiang Yuan almost gave his full effort.

To be honest, Jiang Yuan actually really wanted to challenge her now.

If he could successfully defeat her, it would mean he already had the combat power of a Seventh Realm, Quail Head Initial-stage level.

Unfortunately, he didn't have her contact information, and after she broke through to the Seventh Realm, the challenge rules in the academy no longer applied to her.

After all, breaking through meant graduating.

“Yes, so I came to challenge you.”

Although he hadn’t successfully defeated Ji Daolong, it seemed the other party didn’t know.

It didn’t matter; at least he could challenge him now.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Jiang Yuan had also just broken through, so he was in a very good mood at the moment.

After speaking, he stepped further into the Martial Arts Arena.

Liu Shaofei followed behind Jiang Yuan and also entered the Martial Arts Arena.

With both individuals in position, the countdown above the Martial Arts Arena began.

“Another person is about to get beaten.”

“Indeed, he’s never been beaten before.”

“We all saw with our own eyes how Jiang Yuan brutally beat everyone on our rankings.”

“Don’t say that; I haven’t been brutally beaten by Jiang Yuan.”

“Well, you’re right; Jiang Yuan directly bypassed you and challenged the people ahead.”

The person who spoke rolled his eyes, but there was more than one person saying this in the audience.

For them, Jiang Yuan’s victory was a foregone conclusion; it was basically impossible for any surprises to occur.

Unless he had some Skill Card specifically targeting Jiang Yuan.

In the arena, the countdown ended, and both sides simultaneously released their Skill Cards.

As a Card Master, armor appeared on Liu Shaofei’s body, and a silver-white spear was in his hand.

However, when he saw Jiang Yuan opposite him, he frowned.

Wasn't Jiang Yuan a Shi Shen Early Stage?

“Isn’t Jiang Yuan a Shi Shen Early Stage?”

“What, he’s not allowed to break through in these three months?”

The speaker pouted: “A breakthrough speed of three months is indeed a bit fast, but that’s Jiang Yuan! His combat intensity is so strong, what’s wrong with a faster breakthrough speed, holy crap!”

As he spoke, he also looked up at Jiang Yuan in the arena.

But this time, he was truly shocked.

“Dude, slap me!”

“Slap!”

“Holy crap, that really hurts!”

After climbing up from the ground, the man first cursed angrily, then continued to look at Jiang Yuan in the arena.

“I’m not dreaming; Jiang Yuan really broke through to Shi Shen Late Stage in just three months?”

“Holy crap!!”

“How did his cultivation speed get so fast?!”

The moment Jiang Yuan revealed his strength, the audience in the arena was stunned.

Why did his strength increase so quickly?

Just three months ago, he was only a Shi Shen Early Stage!

“How are you at Shi Shen Late Stage strength?”

Liu Shaofei on the stage couldn't help but ask.

“Is that all?”
