Chapter 13

Dust swirled around, white robes fluttered, and hair danced, displaying an extraordinary aura.

About fifteen minutes later, Xu Chen's aura broke through.

It began with a promotion from Second Grade Late-Stage, leaping directly to Second Grade Consummation Stage.

The lake water nearby even showed signs of surging because of it.

About an hour later, Xu Chen suddenly broke through from Second Grade Consummation Stage to Third Grade Late-Stage.

Because his aura was unstable, Xu Chen constantly compressed it, making the Spiritual Qi solid.

Finally, Xu Chen's realm stabilized immovably at Third Grade Mid-Stage.

"Really promoted three levels. Not bad. This is the villain; every time he manages to level up one step ahead of the protagonist."

Xu Chen clenched his fist and chuckled lightly.

Throughout the entire fantasy novel, Xu Chen's realm was always higher than Ye Xuan's.

However, Ye Xuan had a cheat; the martial arts he learned were always stronger than Xu Chen's.

What Half-Saint martial arts, Emperor-grade martial arts—they were all damn free.

He stretched, his body emitting crackling sounds, feeling a wave of comfort.

Now, if he wanted to beat the protagonist Ye Xuan, he could truly crush him at will.

"Speaking of which, when we enter the Xuegong tomorrow, new heroines will appear too."

"Oh, I hope those new heroines don't cause trouble like Li Ruoling."

"Damn it, otherwise I really can't take it."

Xu Chen said with a pained expression.

On the other side, Ye Xuan also returned to his room.

"What? Master, you say that during the previous battle, that wasn't Xu Chen's power?"

"That bastard actually borrowed someone else's power?"

Ye Xuan said angrily upon hearing this.

Ling Zunzhe nodded: "That is correct."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth: "Master, you should have spoken up so I could accuse that bastard Xu Chen."

Ling Zunzhe shook his head: "You cannot prove it; he can claim he used a Secret Technique."

Ye Xuan was instantly speechless; indeed, there was no way.

He gritted his teeth: "Then should we just let him be so arrogant?"

Ling Zunzhe said indifferently: "This kind of power can surely only be stored once in a short time; Xu Chen is still at Second Grade Late-Stage right now."

Ye Xuan's eyes lit up: "So, if I expose him tomorrow, he is definitely doomed?"

Ling Zunzhe nodded: "Yes, so there is no need to rush."

Ye Xuan sneered: "Fine, then I will make Xu Chen lose face before the entire Jixia Academy; let's see how he dares to raise his head then?"

First place still belongs to him, Ye Xuan.

Competing with him is a pipe dream!

He practices Dan-Wu Dual Cultivation, invincible!
