116: Chapter 116 is about to break through, the rude scoundrel

During his seclusion, Chen Xing fought with the Immortal Gods and discovered they were on a completely different level compared to Mortals.

Even if an Immortal God's Realm is suppressed, their immortal divinity remains, making them extremely difficult to kill; their recovery ability is truly monstrous among monsters.

This delighted Chen Xing; the stronger the opponent, the more room he had for improvement, allowing him to continue grinding relentlessly.

Simply put, the stronger the opponent, the stronger he became.

...

In October, the landscape of the Training Camp changed.

Due to the arrival of the teachers, some of the more bellicose individuals reined themselves in, no longer acting so extreme.

Instead, they switched to same-Realm duels, where the loser had to bring their people into the winner's camp.

As of now, only three major factions remained, along with some S-class Espers who preferred to stay solitary.

Su He, Tang Daoling, and Xu Mingqing were the representative leaders of the three factions, though most people considered the first faction to have dual leaders.

They maintained a delicate balance, with no one breaking the status quo, instead developing in silence.

For no other reason than the fear of losing.

"Brother Tang, are we not going to take action now?" an S-class powerhouse asked.

"We can't move," Tang Daoling said bluntly.

"Who's stopping us?" The S-class Esper was named Long Kun, and his ability was Heavenly Dragon.

"No one can move. Su He is no pushover, and even if we were lucky enough to beat her, there's a hidden boss behind her. We can't win."

"This... then what about Xu Mingqing?"

"Xu Mingqing is an S-class Divine Dark Element user, the exact opposite of that person. He currently has no losses and has rarely gone all out, making him a difficult target."

Tang Daoling shook his head slightly. "Besides, it's only September. We can Cultivate until next June. Why not wait a bit longer?"

"Brother Long, you and I are both S-class. As long as we endure and have an Epiphany during this time, we might be able to leave them behind in the future. So why the rush?"

Hearing this, Long Kun nodded slightly; it made sense.

Since none of the three sides had any intention of starting a war and were at a stalemate, why provoke anyone?

...

On the other side, Xu Mingqing thought the same.

"Old Xu, I see you're quite eager for a fight. What, are you looking for that King of Light?" someone teased him.

"You could say that," Xu Mingqing nodded.

"Then why not go for a round now?"

"It's difficult. There are many experts over there. Su He and Chu Li both have attributes that counter mine; I can't act recklessly."

"Hehe... then do as you please. I don't care anyway. Whoever wins, I'll just follow them according to the rules."

"Is there really someone like you?"

"Hahaha."

...

A small mountain path.

Chu Li finished her cultivation and was taking a walk.

She was a bit troubled. "This third flame is really hard to master. Sigh, then again, my sister only started comprehending it when she reached the Intermediate Divine Ability. I'm a bit early."

Passing by a villa nestled in the mountains, Chu Li stopped and looked at it repeatedly.

"This guy, he's been in seclusion for so long, skipping classes, and the teachers never scold him. He really is willful."

"I wonder how much progress he's made? I can't possibly suffer a crushing defeat like last time, can I?" Chu Li clenched her fingers, eager to give it a try.

"Hmm... he said he wouldn't come out until he achieves a Breakthrough to the Divine Ability Realm. So that should be at least until around next January, right?"

"Bang!"

Just as Chu Li was pondering, she heard a roar from inside the house, as if something had exploded.

A figure rushed out at extreme speed, flying toward the horizon without even giving her a second glance.

Chu Li watched the figure, dumbfounded.

"No way, a Breakthrough already? Are we even from the same world?"

...

Ling Xi Bamboo Forest.

Without a word, Chen Xing barged in abruptly.

Heavenly Position Realm Venerables aren't always here; after all, they are auxiliary mentors, not personal maids or servants, and they have their own time.

In the bamboo house pavilion, the Ling Xi True God was playing the zither and singing, as if she hadn't sensed the commotion.

"Thud!"

Only when Chen Xing arrived in front of the bamboo house did the Ling Xi True God reluctantly stop, her gaze slowly turning toward him.

"Haven't seen you for a few months and you dare to be so insolent? You didn't even plan to knock? What a Rebellious Disciple," the Ling Xi True God said.

"Please forgive me, Teacher. I really wanted to ask for your help, and in my haste, I forgot to knock!" Chen Xing cupped his fists and bowed.

The Ling Xi True God nodded slightly, no longer scolding him, but instead sizing him up with a look of gratification.

"You're ready for a Breakthrough, but you're missing that final push. So you want to use some pressure to force out your potential and achieve the final leap?"

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Teacher Han!" Chen Xing smiled slightly.

"Insolent fellow, you should call me by my honorific title," the Ling Xi True God rebuked him, but there was no anger in her voice; instead, there was a hint of appreciation.

To be able to achieve a Breakthrough to the Divine Ability Realm in just over a year since starting cultivation—how astonishing is that?

One must know that Chen Xing didn't just pile up resources; he had settled and accumulated for a long time, only choosing to do this after reaching his limit.

Let alone the Lower Realm, even in the Domain of God, there was no one so brilliantly talented.

"I really want to take him as my personal disciple. Should I just force it and explain to Ye Jianxing later?" the Ling Xi True God thought on a whim.

"Teacher, can we begin?" Chen Xing's voice interrupted her thoughts.

The Ling Xi True God turned around, the zither resting on her knees, her slender fingers plucking the strings, making the Melody dance.

Her ability was [Melody]!

As the Melody activated, an invisible power echoed in his ears, launching a comprehensive strike out of thin air.

"Pfft..."

Chen Xing coughed up blood, followed by bleeding from his seven orifices—a gruesome sight.

These Immortal-level teachers really don't hold back at all!

"Open!"

Chen Xing stomped hard, a battle robe appearing on his body and a colorful crown on his head as his cultivation soared to the Divine Ability Realm.

But it didn't end there. Chen Xing simultaneously unleashed [Heavens Chain] and [Origin of Light]. Four powers combined and sublimated together, allowing him to reach the Intermediate Divine Ability.

The injuries he just sustained were healed instantly, proving the benefits of his recent Body Refining.

"It's not enough. Teacher, come!"

Chen Xing clenched his fists and, without any hesitation, unleashed all the Battle Techniques he had learned.

This was also a form of Chaotic Heavenly Light, except this time he used himself as a vessel to achieve the Fusion of all his powers.

Such a risky move made even the Ling Xi True God marvel for a moment.

"Since you're being so resilient, then Teacher cannot let you down."

The Ling Xi True God smiled faintly. With a flick of her fingers, space distorted, and the Melody surged like a relentless tsunami, nearly drowning everything.

Chen Xing spat out blood repeatedly, his aura thrown into chaos by the Melody, making it extremely difficult to even circulate techniques.

But the deeper one falls into a trap, the more one's potential explodes.

"Bang!"

After three attacks, Chen Xing scrambled up from the ground, the Origin power within his body exploding on the spot.

"It's done!"

Chen Xing immediately sat cross-legged and began his Breakthrough!
