124: The whole network is hotly discussing whether to continue to kill Yan Xiao and seize the treasure?

"Damn it, isn't Yan Xiao the good-for-nothing who was kicked out of the Yan Family?"

"How did he suddenly become so formidable?"

"No, it was one thing for him to use a trump card to take down professional players before, but what's with this on-the-spot Breakthrough?"

"On-the-spot Breakthroughs in a Xuanhuan World? Are you kidding me?"

All the players were dumbfounded, everyone was stunned.

Initially, everyone thought Yan Xiao was just a Qi Refining Third Stage good-for-nothing.

Not only was his strength weak, but his future was also extremely bleak.

He was kicked out by the Yan Family and had his engagement to Murong Shusu broken, so it could be said he had no future.

Therefore, after the annulment of the engagement, after a period of ridicule, no one paid him any attention, just like the countless native NPCs, he was ignored.

But soon, an event that slapped the netizens in the face occurred.

Yan Xiao actually made a powerful move, directly sweeping away a group of professional players who had achieved Mortal Foundation!

Not only that, but he not only defeated these professional players but also used some kind of beast-taming method to directly subdue a Foundation Establishment-level Demonic Beast as a mount.

At this point, all netizens were shocked.

No, is this still that good-for-nothing? Something isn't right, is it?

For a time, many suspected that Yan Xiao was very likely to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, and his actual level was far beyond what he showed.

But then, "This Time Bu Ge" released a video, in which he incisively pointed out that Yan Xiao did not truly possess powerful Cultivation comparable to Mortal Foundation, but rather had a trump card from a Family Legacy, allowing him to unleash powerful combat strength in a short period and fight across Realms.

With this explanation, everyone was relieved. What? So it was just by relying on a trump card. They had thought he truly wasn't a good-for-nothing.

Subsequently, the Great Love Alliance made a strong move, gathering enough Cultivators to wear down Yan Xiao wave after wave, exhausting his trump cards until he was forced into a situation with no possibility of turning the tables.

But just when everyone thought victory was assured, Yan Xiao actually had an on-the-spot Breakthrough!

This Breakthrough immediately shocked all the Cultivators present, and also astonished netizens across the entire network.

Yan Xiao then powerfully defeated the Mortal Foundations present, even cutting through a group of Great Love Alliance players, and rode away gracefully on his Unicorn Purple Lion.

The video of his entire battle was uploaded, and all players had to accept this fact—

Yan Xiao, who was originally a good-for-nothing, was clearly a Genius!

He fought Qi Refining Cultivators like a grandfather fighting his grandson, and Mortal Foundations like he was fighting his son. With the giant flame flying, no one could resist him at all.

Scene after scene of astonishing footage was constantly spreading across the internet, and all players were somewhat dumbfounded, followed by a wave of surprise:

"No, is it us players who have cheats or the native characters who have cheats?"

"We can use reincarnation points to activate cheats and consume Lifespan to accelerate Cultivation, and we've only just managed to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, only to be beaten like sons by Yan Xiao?"

"This is completely unreasonable, isn't it? How can he have an on-the-spot Breakthrough? Why is he so strong after a Breakthrough? Doesn't he need to go into seclusion to stabilize his Realm? Doesn't he need to Cultivate from the Early Stage to the Late Stage?"

"Yes, I can accept being defeated by an Immortal Foundation Outstanding Talent, and I can accept being crushed by a Golden Core, but I absolutely cannot accept being counterattacked by a Qi Refining Third Stage good-for-nothing!"

"We are the cheating players who should be counterattacking!"

A group of players discussed animatedly, all expressing their inability to accept it.

They all felt that their sense of superiority as players seemed to be shattered in front of Yan Xiao.

Previously, everyone had indeed been suppressed by Immortal Foundation Outstanding Talents and crushed by Golden Cores, and even professional players had to concede and submit.

But that was only because the natives had higher Cultivation, just like the big bosses that appeared at the beginning. It was normal for new players to be unable to defeat them, and they would just level up later.

But now, Yan Xiao made a powerful appearance, rapidly ascending in a short time, transforming from a good-for-nothing into a Genius, and even counter-killed the cheating players.

At this point, all players realized the most crucial problem: native characters also Cultivate and improve their Cultivation! And their speed of Cultivation improvement might even be faster than theirs!

This instantly made all players unable to accept it.

At this moment, someone discovered an anomaly:

"Wait, is there a possibility that we overestimated this Yan Xiao?"

"No, not overestimating, but misjudging."

"What do you mean?"

"I carefully studied the combat video, and I found that Yan Xiao's combat techniques are extremely skilled. His movement technique is very fast, his reactions are quick, and he can always evade enemy attacks. He hardly ever takes a direct hit."

"Not only that, but every time he attacks, he is very precise, always hitting vital points, and never missing. Even if he can't kill the enemy, he can temporarily incapacitate them, making it easier for subsequent combos."

"So, is there a possibility that Yan Xiao's Cultivation isn't as strong as we imagined, and his Cultivation speed still can't keep up with us players? He merely has strong combat techniques?"

As soon as this argument came out, everyone also began to study the video, and finally all expressed their agreement.

"What, just scaring ourselves."

"So it was technique that compensated for Cultivation. This Yan Xiao isn't as strong as imagined."

"That's true. Although the Great Love Alliance knew about his trump cards beforehand and deliberately tried to wear him down, they were ultimately a group of casual players, so it's normal for their combat techniques to be a bit lacking."

"After all, the Xuanhuan World hasn't been open for long, and everyone didn't have time to practice their techniques. They all only had Cultivation, and could only slowly improve their techniques later."

At this point, all players regained their confidence once again. It turned out that native characters' Cultivation speed still couldn't compare to theirs; they merely had slightly stronger combat techniques.

Some even asserted that perhaps native characters would quickly reach Foundation Establishment, but their Cultivation speed for higher Realms would definitely not be able to surpass that of players. Players still had an advantage in Cultivation speed that natives could not hope to match.

At this moment, another player discovered an anomaly in the video:

"Didn't you notice that Yan Xiao's Breakthrough phenomenon isn't right? It doesn't look like an Immortal Foundation phenomenon at all."

"What do you mean?"

"After forming an Immortal Foundation, one will interact with heaven and earth, inevitably causing Spiritual Qi to overflow, eventually forming various phenomena. In other words, phenomena and Spiritual Qi are different."

"Like during the Golden Core Tomb event before, a group of people broke through to Immortal Foundation in Green Emerald Heaven, either igniting a sea of fire or bursting forth with roots. The most monotonous would also stir up gusts of wind; none of them were pure Spiritual Qi."

"But look at Yan Xiao's phenomenon; it looks like pure red Spiritual Qi, which is completely wrong."

"What do you mean? Does it mean that Yan Xiao didn't actually have an on-the-spot Breakthrough?"

All the players were somewhat puzzled, not knowing what was going on.

If Yan Xiao hadn't broken through, how did he defeat so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators with just Qi Refining Cultivation? Even if they were all Mortal Foundations, this would still be impossible; it couldn't be explained by just taking medicine.

"No, I think Yan Xiao still broke through, but not to Immortal Foundation."

"That's right, I also think Yan Xiao didn't break through to Immortal Foundation, but instead took another path of Cultivation!"

"This path is different from the mainstream Cultivation, and it should allow him to have an on-the-spot Breakthrough, and his combat power also seems to be stronger than ordinary Mortal Foundations."

"So that's it, no wonder Yan Xiao's performance was so abnormal."

All the netizens suddenly realized, and their initial shock towards Yan Xiao slowly subsided, gradually turning into an emotion called greed.

"Hey, if we capture him, wouldn't we be able to obtain another Legacy?"

"All four countries in the novice village are Cultivating Immortals, and their Cultivation Techniques, Legacies, and resources are tightly controlled by Golden Cores. If we get another Legacy, wouldn't we be able to easily break the deadlock?"

"Makes sense! This Yan Xiao is a big gift package for us!"

"But the Great Love Alliance has already been defeated, how can we kill Yan Xiao?"

"You don't know yet? The Great Love Alliance issued an announcement, saying they weren't defeated, but rather suddenly discovered a Golden Core Legacy midway, so they strategically abandoned the fight to go seize the Golden Core Legacy!"

"So that's it, I was wondering how the Great Love Alliance with so many Mortal Foundations could be defeated so easily. This makes sense."

"Then let's see if the Great Love Alliance will continue to take the lead. This Yan Xiao must be killed to drop his Legacy."

The players discussed animatedly, once again regaining their player arrogance, and no longer taking Yan Xiao seriously.

However, not all players dismissed Yan Xiao.

Wang Huohuo, the player who transmigrated into Murong Shusu, immediately knew that this good-for-nothing had risen after learning of Yan Xiao's on-the-spot Breakthrough, and she absolutely could not ignore him.

Even if subsequent players analyzed that he was merely strong in combat techniques and cultivated a special system that caught the players off guard, Wang Huohuo did not deny Yan Xiao's future.

To be honest, as an insider, she was scared into having some sense. She immediately went to the Twelfth Princess's bedchamber and explained the situation to her, hoping to persuade a Core Formation expert to directly eliminate Yan Xiao.
