Chapter 14938 They've all gotten stronger
When Lü Ning first arrived at the Holy Rune Academy, her cultivation level lagged far behind her peers, but she never slacked off in the slightest. Now, she has finally unleashed her accumulated strength and successfully broken through to the Lower Lord realm.
Although this level isn't considered high, it's already quite good for a martial artist from the lower realms.
"That's good, it's really not easy." Ling Xiao nodded slightly, also very pleased.
To him, those who came from the Realm of Nirvana were his family, and he naturally hoped to see his family members make progress.
Jiang Chuan then spoke up, and was very pleased: "And Meng Haoqing, that kid's progress is even more amazing... He has already stabilized at the peak of the Returning to Truth Realm, with profound cultivation, and may break through the bottleneck at any time and step into the Void Annihilation Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao genuinely showed some surprise.
Reaching the peak of the Returning to Truth Realm, he is only one step away from the Annihilation Realm. This rate of progress far exceeds his previous expectations, which shows that Meng Haoqing has also been working hard to cultivate with all his might in private.
"And there's even better news." Jiang Chuan's smile deepened. "Ling Bi, your own sister, has firmly established herself in the Void Annihilation Realm!"
Ling Xiao's surprise and delight deepened.
The Realm of Annihilation.
Ling Bi had actually entered the Void Annihilation Realm. Although he had suspected it beforehand, he still couldn't help but get excited when he actually heard it.
Back in the Realm of Nirvana, Ling Bi's cultivation was not weak, but in the Chaotic Martial Realm, where geniuses abounded and powerful figures were numerous, she was not even worth mentioning.
I thought Ling Bi would fall behind for a while after arriving in the Chaotic Martial Realm, but I didn't expect that she would reach the ranks of the top experts in the Chaotic Martial Realm so quickly.
It should be noted that even Yao Tianji and Jiang Chuan were only at the Void Extinction Realm.
Ling Bi's talent is even more terrifying. After entering the Void Annihilation Realm, she will even be able to contend with peak Void Annihilation Realm experts and will become a major force in the Holy Rune Academy.
Standing there, Ling Xiao was filled with emotion, and even somewhat incredulous.
"Ling Bi... has she really already stepped into the Void Annihilation Realm?"
Jiang Chuan nodded solemnly, his tone certain: "It's absolutely true! She has been in seclusion recently, diligently cultivating her swordsmanship. With a pure mind, she is said to have already touched upon a higher level of sword intent and is one step closer to achieving sword heart enlightenment."
Ling Xiao gave a wry smile: "It seems I really haven't tried hard enough."
Jiang Chuan immediately burst into laughter: "You? Not hard enough? Little Grandmaster, you're really joking. You went three days and nights without sleep to refine three perfect-grade seven-star high-level holy rune stones. If this gets out, the entire Chaotic Martial World will be in an uproar!"
"Many veteran Saint Rune Masters can only look up to you in the dust, and you still say you haven't worked hard enough?"
Ling Xiao gently shook his head. "Jiang Chuan, have you noticed that my cultivation level is too low? Although a seven-star high-level holy rune is very powerful, if your strength is insufficient, you can easily be assassinated."
"They all came from the Realm of Nirvana with me, and they've all worked so hard. If I, the one who brought them here, don't work hard, and my cultivation level is even lower than theirs, how can I protect them?"
Jiang Chuan was taken aback for a moment. “Grandmaster, you are too modest. Although your cultivation level is not high, everyone knows how terrifying your strength is. You even dared to fight Xiang Ying. We old guys don’t have that kind of ability.”
"In the end, it was just a desperate effort; it's not worthy of praise!"
He wasn't just being modest; he genuinely felt that his self-cultivation was insufficient.
Ling Bi, Lü Ning, Meng Haoqing... their relatives and friends are all doing their best, working hard day and night, constantly breaking through their own limits, and moving forward step by step.
Although he possesses the Overlord Martial Soul and the Devouring Demon Art, and has many extraordinary opportunities, the ultimate test of a person's strength is still their realm.
He has only just entered the Returning to Truth Realm; his cultivation level is still too low.
Although his combat strength is formidable, comparable to a Void Annihilation Realm expert, it is still not enough, far from enough.
"Let's go." Ling Xiao pulled himself out of his reverie, smiled, and said, "Let's go to the training grounds and see them."
Before long, Ling Xiao met Lü Ning and Meng Haoqing at the central training ground of the Holy Rune Academy.
In the arena, the two were sparring, their moves sharp yet reserved.
Lu Ning held a long saber with a gleaming blade. His saber technique was fierce and domineering. Every slash was imbued with a powerful and profound saber intent, making it unstoppable.
She moved swiftly across the training ground, her long sword drawing dazzling silver-white arcs, each move ruthless, forcing Meng Haoqing to retreat repeatedly.
However, Meng Haoqing's strength ultimately prevailed.
He held a pair of giant axes, their blades enormous and heavy, yet they felt as light as a feather in his hands, and he wielded them with effortless grace.
Each strike carried a terrifying force, like a landslide, with energy surging outwards. The hard ground of the training ground was smashed into craters of varying depths, and fragments of stone flew everywhere.
The two exchanged over a hundred blows in a fierce battle. In the end, Lü Ning was exhausted and his long sword was knocked away by Meng Haoqing's axe. He staggered back more than ten steps before he could barely steady himself and was slightly out of breath.
"Hehe, I won." Meng Haoqing put away his giant axe and laughed, still as simple and direct as ever.
Lu Ning shook his head with a wry smile, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "The gap is still too big. I'll have to work much harder to catch up with you."
"You've made rapid progress." Meng Haoqing patted his shoulder and comforted him. "As a newly promoted Lower Lord, you have a solid foundation. You wouldn't be considered weak in any force in the Chaotic Martial World."
Just as Lü Ning was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Ling Xiao standing quietly at the edge of the training ground out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"His Majesty!"
She cried out in surprise, immediately dropped the long knife in her hand, and rushed over excitedly.
"Your Majesty, you're finally back! I was so worried about you, thinking you'd encountered some danger while you were out training and hadn't returned yet!"
Ling Xiao chuckled and gently tapped her forehead: "You little rascal, you start cursing me right away. It seems your cultivation has improved and you've become bolder."
Meng Haoqing also walked over slowly and nodded slightly to Ling Xiao. He was not good with words and didn't know how to say anything sentimental, but simply said in a deep voice:
"It's good that you're back."
Looking at his two old friends walking side by side, Ling Xiao felt a surge of warmth welling up in his heart, dispelling the chill around him.
In this chaotic martial arts world where the strong prey on the weak and deceit prevails, strength and power have always been the foundation for survival. People are cold-hearted, and there are countless opportunists.
Having one or two true friends who will never abandon you is far more precious than rare treasures or peerless weapons.
"Oh, right." Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly flickered as he remembered something, and he asked, "Where's Abi? I haven't seen her."
Lu Ning released his grip on Ling Xiao's sleeve, scratched the back of his head, and grinned, "Ling Bi? She's still in seclusion in the secret realm, not seeing anyone."
"It is said that this girl has recently been comprehending a supreme sword intent, to the point of neglecting to eat and sleep, and has not even stepped out of the mountain gate."
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, asking no further questions, his eyes filled with understanding and tenderness.
