Ye Cang and Qin Feng's expressions instantly froze.
Six Stars Profound Level?
Previously, they had speculated that Gu Xuan's cultivating speed was at most able to stabilize his Five Stars Profound Level within a month, or even reach a medium level of Five Stars Profound Level. As for reaching the peak of the Five Stars Profound Level, they had never even thought of that.
After all, even if they were cultivating geniuses, breaking through two to three star realms in a year was already an incredible feat. How could they break through within a month's time? At the very most, he would be able to stabilize his 1-star stage, or even cultivate from there to the peak.
Moreover, this was something that only cultivating geniuses like them could do.
As a result, they thought that Gu Xuan's growth was barely observable, and as a result, when they discovered that Gu Xuan did not increase even the slightest bit, it was also not out of their expectations.
But now, not only had Gu Xuan made clear progress, he had also reached Six Stars Profound Level!
From the moment they had stepped into the Five Stars Profound Level to the moment they had entered the Six Stars Profound Level, to have achieved such a level in one month, was practically something that they did not even dare dream about.
If it was only an ordinary person doing it, it would be fine. At most, it would make them sigh in admiration, but Gu Xuan was different from the others. He had the ability to challenge people beyond his cultivation level, and was extremely strong!
In this situation, if one's cultivation speed exceeded an ordinary person's, there was only one word that could describe it: monstrous genius!
Gu Xuan was completely a monster, a hundred times more so than geniuses like them.
"It's another Zhou Juechu!" Qin Feng shook his head, his face a little bitter.
"Zhou Juechu? It's too early for that. " Ye Cang's face turned ugly, he snorted and felt extremely displeased. No matter what, the fact that Gu Xuan had such strength meant that even if he could not compare with Zhou Juechu, he could still be considered as a monstrous genius.
The sturdy youth who originally looked down on Gu Xuan was also stunned on the spot, his face alternating between green and red.
Before, he did not place Gu Xuan in his eyes, and thought that Gu Xuan could easily defeat him, which was why he said those arrogant words. But now, Gu Xuan was already in the Six Stars Profound Level realm, so he was simply not Gu Xuan's match.
The arrogance from before seemed to have been slapped all over his face.
"I admit defeat." After hesitating for a moment, the sturdy youth gritted his teeth and said.
Fighting with Gu Xuan who had Six Stars Profound Level could only be asking to be humiliated.
Gu Xuan shook his head, feeling a little helpless, these people were frank, and after realizing that they were not his opponents, but if they did not fight with him, there was no way for them to train their martial arts.
If this person was a little weaker, he would still be able to continue to hone his cultivation. In this situation, if he only used his Five Stars Profound Level, he would only be able to easily defeat him.
"I admit defeat as well."
"I admit defeat as well."
The voices of a few more people sounded from the side. These people were all Martial Cultivator s who were ranked below twenty-four, a total of six people automatically admitted defeat. They handed over their Treasure Point s with faces full of reluctance.
The difference between twenty-four and twenty-five was huge. This was mainly because Yang Fan had just broken through, and the rest of them had all broken through for a long period of time, so naturally, there wasn't much of a gap between them.
Looking at Gu Xuan, he said coldly: "Gu Xuan, just make your move. Just because they admit defeat, does not mean that I will concede, I am ranked 17, and it's just because I want to challenge Qin Feng, that's all. If I want to, I can defeat even the 11th place!"
Although Ye Cang already knew that he couldn't compare to Gu Xuan, it didn't mean that he had to submit to Gu Xuan.
As a proud genius, he didn't admire people that were more talented than him. He only admired people that were more talented than him!
If Gu Xuan was in the same realm as him now, Ye Cang would admit defeat without hesitation. However, he still did not believe that the current Gu Xuan could easily surpass him in terms of strength.
"With you?" Gu Xuan looked at the sky and frowned: "Tomorrow."
Previously, Gu Xuan had wasted a lot of time fighting Yang Fan, and now, it was also the time for Zong Qi to refine the pills. If he succeeded, he would have to take advantage of the fact that the medicinal properties of the pill had yet to fully take shape, if he was late, it would be very difficult to raise the quality of the pill.
"What? Are you afraid?" Ye Cang suddenly sneered, "It is true that you have broken through the Six Stars Profound Level, I know that the strength of people like you who can challenge others beyond your cultivation level does not increase along with your cultivation, I really want to see whether you are truly strong, or are just bluffing!"
"You said you're scared, right?" Gu Xuan said casually as he turned to leave.
The sneer on Ye Cang's face grew denser, "It seems like your strength really doesn't have much to do with your realm. It looks like the reason why you're challenging someone stronger than you shouldn't rely on your own strength but an external force."
Ye Cang's words immediately caused many people's expressions to change.
There were usually two ways to challenge those who were at a higher realm. The first way was to have a stronger foundation, so he would be stronger than Martial Cultivator of the same realm. The second way was to rely on external strength.
The first method didn't need to be much, but as the user's realm increased, that would be their own strength. For example, if the Strength of Fire was solidified, then after breaking through to the next realm, this advantage would naturally increase as well.
For example, one of the Profound Level Martial Cultivator had acquired a Human-Step Spiritual Treasure. Relying on the Human-Step Spiritual Treasure's own might, it was immediately able to let him challenge the Sovereign Level Martial Cultivator, but when the Martial Cultivator stepped into the Sovereign Level, his strength was not that much stronger than before.
Gu Xuan's aura seemed to have grown stronger, but he was unable to determine what kind of situation Gu Xuan was in. The possibility of being the first one was very high, but the possibility of being the second one was not excluded either.
If it was the second type, then Gu Xuan's value would also drop greatly.
"External strength?" Gu Xuan turned his head to look at Ye Cang, and laughed: "If I had to use external force, you don't have the qualifications."
Gu Xuan's power was naturally his power. If he used Yun Xi's power, forget about trash like Ye Cang, even if he used Sovereign Level, he could still slaughter him easily. Against a power like his, how could he possibly use power?
"What did you say?" Ye Cang's gaze turned cold. Gu Xuan had merely broken through a realm, yet he said that he did not give Gu Xuan a chance to use external strength?
"I say, I'm too lazy to use any external force. Even if I don't use any external force, you're not on the same level as me. Do you hear me clearly now?" Gu Xuan said while sneering as he looked at Ye Cang.
"Good! "Then I'll wait here tomorrow. I hope that you won't just spout nonsense." Ye Cang was furious.
Although Gu Xuan's performance was astonishing, these words were a little too crazy. Maybe Gu Xuan did not use any external strength, so the possibility of such a situation was not small, but to say that Ye Cang was not on the same level as him, was already a little too high.
Ye Cang was, after all, a veteran among the Peak Profound Level. No one doubted that Gu Xuan was stronger than him, but to say that he wasn't on the same level, wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?
If Senior Brother Ye Cang really wants to raise his rank, then it's eleven now. Even if Gu Xuan is strong, he can't possibly be one level higher than Senior Brother Ye Cang, right? "
Sigh, I didn't expect that just as Gu Xuan displayed his talent, he was already so arrogant.
"Tomorrow, I hope that Senior Brother Ye Cang can persevere for a bit longer. It would be best if he can directly win!"
The disciples who were ranked ahead of Ye Cang also frowned, it would be reasonable to say that the students ranked around twenty were not on the same level as Gu Xuan.
However, Ye Cang's strength was not something they could compare with. Ye Cang had wholeheartedly wanted to challenge Qin Feng, unless he defeated Qin Feng, he would not raise his rank, and would instead use this method to motivate himself. In terms of strength, he was ranked eleventh in the Heavenly Academy, and even the people who were ranked higher than Ye Cang had addressed him as Senior Brother.
Those who were ranked in the top five of Heavenly Academy at the very least all possessed strength close to that of the Sovereign Level.
If Gu Xuan said that he was on a level higher than Ye Cang, then wouldn't he be around the same level as the other five senior brothers?
In their eyes, Gu Xuan was too arrogant. Although this position would be reached by Gu Xuan sooner or later, it was definitely not now, and what Gu Xuan was saying right now would only cause them to become dissatisfied, especially in the face of their incomparable jealousy towards Gu Xuan.
Hearing the discussions behind him, Gu Xuan scoffed, and did not pay any attention to them. The truth of the matter, would naturally be revealed tomorrow, so he was too lazy to waste time, and headed straight for the Pill Dao Pavilion.
Although Gu Xuan had only refined a few pellets, he had actually already reached the last pellet. After receiving his guidance, Zong Qi's alchemy level improved greatly and did not waste any of them.
After the last pill was refined and played with, Gu Xuan used the Ice Soul Cold Flame to nourish it, and levelled it up to Intermediate quality.
"Master, I didn't waste a single pill, do you think …"
Zong Qi looked at Gu Xuan with a face full of smiles. Clearly, he was already anxious to obtain another opportunity to comprehend the Pill Dao.
"I've just finished concocting the pill, in two days." Gu Xuan said as he frowned.
"Fine." Zong Qi could only nod his head helplessly. He knew that refining pills consumed a lot of soul power, so he had only asked with some hope.
In reality, for Gu Xuan to be able to nurture Grade Four Pills in his Profound Level, in his eyes, the strength of Gu Xuan's Soul Power was practically a miracle.
After resting for a while in Zong Qi's pill cultivating room, and greeting him once more, Gu Xuan left the Pill Dao Pavilion. At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Gu Xuan's ears.
"Gu Xuan, when did you manage to refine a Grade Four Pills and take its Grade Four Alchemist as a follower?"
"Yun Xi, you're awake?"
He had forgotten that Yun Xi was only temporarily sleeping. Now that she had awoken, everything regarding him and Zong Qi had been found out by Yun Xi.
