After all, the change Yun Qingwu underwent was too obvious.

The changes in Yun Qingwu was the most obvious amongst the few of them. Not only was her hair smooth and glowing, but her skin was also like that of a newborn baby.

Fang Zhengzhi figured that it was probably because Yun Qingwu's Enlightenment State was slightly low.

As her Enlightenment State was slightly low, the blow on her body was slightly greater. However, by the same logic, the changes she underwent was also extremely great.

“I… think I broke through!” At this moment, Yun Qingwu widened her eyes suddenly and looked extremely excited.

To her, the breakthrough of Enlightenment State was a hurdle that she had never been able to overcome.

Since she was young, she had a weak body and suffered many illnesses. She was evicted from the Blood Shadow City since five as her physical health was not suitable for cultivation.

As mixed blood of the monster and demon race, she was blessed with supreme intelligence and calmness.

However, that also made her unable to cultivate the skills of the demon race or have the bloodline and inheritance like an ordinary monster.

However, she managed to breakthrough.

She managed to break through the hurdle that had troubled her for years. It was impossible for her to not feel anything at this moment.

“Broke through?” Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat shocked when he heard Yun Qingwu as he could not believe that Yun Qingwu managed to break through in this situation.

Moreover, she made the breakthrough very quickly?

The Cloud Pattern Tree had just been suppressed and calmed down. There were still countless black cloud patterns flowing beneath them.

It was like a vast ocean.

“Hmph.” Ping Yang snorted coldly in disdain.

She was merely at the Star Conglomerate State, even if she managed to break through, how much could she do? At most the Heavenly Reflection State?

Why was she so excited?

Ping Yang pouted and started to feel the absorbed energy in her body. Soon, her expression changed slightly. “My Enlightenment State seems to have… upgraded slightly too?”

“Hmm, this is good. Looks like the black cloud patterns can be absorbed and perhaps allow all our Enlightenment State to be upgraded.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

Although he did not feel the effect of a breakthrough, as the energy in his Small Dimension acc.u.mulated, his power was increasing steadily as well.

“Fang Zhengzhi.” At this moment, Yun Qingwu spoke.

“Hmm?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at her.

“I… I want to try to divert a little bit of the energy of the Cloud Pattern Tree into my body, I'm not sure if…” Yun Qingwu was cautious as she spoke.

“Yes, you can.” Fang Zhengzhi did not pause to think about the question.

As one of the six members, it was Yun Qingwu's right to absorb some of the energy from the Cloud Pattern Tree after contributing to the team.

Earlier on, Fang Zhengzhi stopped her and told her to not absorb the energy because her skill level was too low.

“Thank…”

“There's no need to thank me. This is your right.”

“Hmm.” Yun Qingwu nodded and tried to divert the black cloud patterns that flowed past her body.

Time pa.s.sed.

The energy of the Cloud Pattern Tree stabilized and Fang Zhengzhi began to speed up the cycle to help everyone absorb the energy better.

At about the 17th round, Yun Qingwu's eyes widened again and her face turned red.

“I feel that… I… broke through again?”

“…”

“…”

This time, Ping Yang was no longer disdainful.

In fact, she was starting to become jealous. Yun Qingwu managed to proceed from the Star Conglomerate State to the Heavenly Reflection State and then to the Supernatural State in merely an hour?

What on earth?

Ping Yang gritted her teeth. She remembered how she almost died and only managed to break through the Star Conglomerate State after eating the Monster Pearl of the Monster King.

However, despite that, she experienced six months' worth of bad experience.

In those six months, because of the Monster Pearl in her body, she often felt unbearably hot and needed to go to the Icy Pond.

“Unfair, this is unfair!” Ping Yang was very frustrated.

She spent six months to reach the Sagely State from the Star Conglomerate State and suffered so much. Yet now, Yun Qingwu managed to make two breakthroughs in less than an hour.

Apart from Ping Yang, Fang Zhengzhi also had a strange expression.

What the f*ck, from Heavenly Reflection State to Supernatural State, since when was it so easy? He clearly remembered how much trouble he had suffered from this transition.

She must have cheated!

Even if it was so, she did not have to make it so obvious?!

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi heard a buzz which was very close to him.

This caused him to turn to his left instinctively.

Then, he saw Chi Guyan's eyes open suddenly and there was five completely different radiance s.h.i.+ning in them.

Red, blue, white, black, gold!

The five-colored radiance was extremely bright and there was a gigantic faint shadow floating behind Chi Guyan's back and completely solidifying.

Her snow-white dress, black hair, snake tail that was covered in five-colored scales, arrogant features as well as her cold expression.

It was so real that even Fang Zhengzhi felt that she was no longer a faint shadow but instead…

Nüwa!

“Shameless brat, I… broke through!” Chi Guyan's voice was heard before a terrifying aura radiated from his body.

“Sister Yan, you are awesome!” shouted Ping Yang excitedly.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi's eyes almost fell out.

“…” Broke through? What on earth?!

Chi Guyan managed to break through?!

It was acceptable if Yun Qingwu managed to break through because her Enlightenment State was too low, however, Chi Guyan's breakthrough was slightly unreasonable?

They were both at the Sagely State…

Why did that happen?!

Moreover, he was evidently more powerful than Chi Guyan. By right, he should make the breakthrough before her?

The scenario seemed to be a little strange.

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse.

However, there was no way he could do that. Unless he wanted to shout at Chi Guyan, “Before you make a breakthrough, can you please wait for me?”

Fine…

It was the gift!

Yes, it must be because of Chi Guyan's gift.

She was gifted. If Fang Zhengzhi could only absorb 50 percent of the energy, Chi Guyan managed to absorb 90 percent. It was normal for her to breakthrough before Fang Zhengzhi.

This must be it!

Fang Zhengzhi comforted himself and had to put a bright smile on his face. “Congratulations for breaking through to the G.o.dly State, Yan'er, for being able to break through to the G.o.dly State, now we have ho…”

He really could not the sentence with the word “hope”.

How could a man tolerate the fact that he was less capable than a woman?

No!

He had to breakthrough!

Breakthrough and enter the G.o.dly State before defeating Chi Guyan again.

Do it with all his might.

Continue to absorb and absorb…

At this moment, Yan Xiu's expression turned strange before turning into extreme excitement.

“I… managed to breakthrough too?” As Yan Xiu said that, radiances that were as red as blood war formed on his body.

It was very red.

Pure and red.

Like red gemstones, clear radiance flickered in Yan Xiu's eyes.

“Wow?! Yan Xiu, you made a breakthrough too? I feel that I am about to breakthrough as well!” Ping Yang looked increasingly excited.

Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, felt speechless.

So Yan Xiu was also more gifted than him

It must be so, right?

No!

What kind of s.h.i.+t was that, Yan Xiu was definitely weaker than himself and Chi Guyan, why did he break through to the G.o.dly State faster than him?

Why did that happen?

He would not mind if Chi Guyan managed to breakthrough before him.

After all, Chi Guyan was at about the same level as him. Moreover, she had a terrifying gift and it was understandable that she managed to break through to the G.o.dly State before him.

But why did Yan Xiu breakthrough before him as well?

In terms of the level of cultivation stage, Fang Zhengzhi had always been at a higher level than Yan Xiu. He reached the Heavenly Reflection State, Rebirth and Sagely State earlier than Yan Xiu.

However, look at what was happening now.

Yan Xiu caught up with him

Did it even make sense?

Did this world even make sense?

“Zhengzhi, rest a.s.sured. With your gift, you will be able to break through very soon.” Instead of bragging, Yan Xiu comforted Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hmm, the energy here is so immense and even someone as week as me feel that I am going to break through soon. For someone like you, shameless brat, you must have almost broken through the limits?” Ping Yang smiled too.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi did not answer Ping Yang.

Limits?

What f*cking limits?

He wanted to be pushed to the limits but after checking carefully, he realized that countless black cloud patterns were flowing in his Small Dimension.

However, the ocean was too huge.

It was so huge that the black cloud patterns did not occupy much s.p.a.ce. He would not believe it if someone said that he had reached the limits.

“I think I made a breakthrough again.” Just as Fang Zhengzhi felt helpless, Yun Qingwu's voice was heard again.

“…”

“…”

So Yun Qingwu had reached the Rebirth State?!

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was continuously stabbed by a knife. That pain made him feel like cursing

‘All of you made a breakthrough?

‘Why haven't I made a breakthrough then?'

No!

He could no longer continue behaving this way. He had to be braver. Chi Guyan must have forcefully kept more black cloud patterns in her Small Dimension in order to break through and advance to the G.o.dly State so quickly.

Yan Xiu…

Forget it, let's not talk about Yan Xiu.

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should not continue being “perfunctory”. He had to try harder and feel the energy of the black cloud patterns.

‘Breakthrough, G.o.dly State!'

‘I am coming!'

There was a type of pain that was called a sharp pain.

Fang Zhengzhi had never experienced it before but he felt the pain as though he had been forgotten by the world.

That was because he saw a beam of light that dashed out from Ping Yang's body.

It was very intense.

It was extremely hot and was sizzling with heat. As the heatwave radiated in all directions, Ping Yang's eyes looked as though they were set ablaze.

Then, he heard an excited scream.

“I broke through, hahaha… I reached the G.o.dly State!” Ping Yang laughed until her face cramped and could not suppress her excitement at all.

It was a drastic change from the Sagely State to the G.o.dly State.

She was originally affected by Yun Qingwu's continuous breakthroughs. However, she managed to breakthrough too and reached the G.o.dly State.

All her unhappiness disappeared.

At this moment, she was jumping around in excitement like a kid.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiu and Chi Guyan smiled and nodded as they heard Ping Yang's screams. They were happy for her.

However, Fang Zhengzhi was troubled.

What on earth?!

Yun Qingwu's continuous breakthroughs from Star Conglomerate to Heavenly Reflection State to Supernatural State then to the Rebirth State made sense as Yun Qingwu's Enlightenment State was too low.

It was reasonable for her to make continuous breakthroughs.

Fang Zhengzhi could understand Chi Guyan's breakthroughs too. Chi Guyan was definitely the most gifted person on earth.

As for Yan Xiu…

Fang Zhengzhi felt speechless.

That was because he could not understand why Yan Xiu managed to reach the G.o.dly State before himself.

However, no matter what, he still felt happy for Yan Xiu

After all, Yan Xiu was his true brother.

However, Ping Yang also managed to breakthrough before him and advanced from the Sagely State to the G.o.dly State. This did not make sense at all.

What the h.e.l.l?

Yan Xiu managed to breakthrough because although he was not as powerful as Fang Zhengzhi, he had reached the peak of the Sagely State.

Therefore it was reasonable for him to advance to the G.o.dly State.

But Ping Yang?

She was merely at the start of the Sagely State.

It was already good enough for Ping Yang to advance to the intermediate stage of the Sagely State. How could she advance to the G.o.dly State before Fang Zhengzhi?

“What the f*ck? I don't want to continue anymore!” Fang Zhengzhi's face was extremely black.

If n.o.body managed to break through, he would not have any comments. However, everyone managed to breakthrough except for him.

That was ridiculous!

Shouldn't the normal scenario be such that Fang Zhengzhi breakthrough first before Chi Guyan and the rest?

Even if Fang Zhengzhi was not as gifted as Chi Guyan and Yan Xiu, he was definitely more powerful than Ping Yang, right?
