Chapter 80: Breakthrough Shocks All Directions

No. 9 Courtyard was ruined beyond recognition, but the small cabin remained standing.

Xiao Fan entered the cabin, leaving Zhu Gang alone outside to sullenly clean up the mess…

Fortunately, after a short while, many Jixian Sect Disciples wearing gray robes arrived to help with the cleaning.

Xiao Fan had asked Zhu Gang about these Disciples; they were the lowest-ranking Utility Disciples of the Jixian Sect. Because they had failed the selection process but were unwilling to leave the Jixian Sect, they stayed behind to do odd jobs, hoping that one day they could become Outer Sect Disciples.

Those wearing blue robes were Inner Sect Disciples, like Shen An who guarded the Outer Sect gate; their status was one rank higher than the gray-robed Disciples.

Inside the cabin, Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, his expression somber…

"The Jixian Sect clearly isn't a peaceful place. I must hasten to increase my strength!"

Since entering the Jixian Sect, Xiao Fan had not entered the star chart, fearing that the secret of possessing such a supreme treasure would be leaked.

However, after experiencing the duel with Shan Yanghui, he knew deeply that his own strength was insufficient.

Furthermore, even setting that aside, if someone like the Outer Sect deacon came to cause trouble, he would be completely unable to defeat them with his current power.

"I have suppressed it to the limit; it is time for a Breakthrough."

Xiao Fan muttered to himself and closed his eyes. Recently, he had been suppressing his cultivation, keeping it polished at the Late Stage of the sixth level of the Huaqi Realm.

As long as he wanted, he could break through to the Great Perfection of the sixth level of the Huaqi Realm at any moment, or even push toward the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm.

Half an hour later…

Huaqi Realm sixth level Great Perfection…

However, Xiao Fan's own Aura did not stop; it continued to climb step by step.

The benefits of his constant self-polishing had already manifested, and combined with the battle against Shan Yanghui just now, it was of great benefit to him.

His Divine Sense entered the star chart and consumed quite a few Spirit Medicines…

One hour later…

"Rumble…"

A loud noise erupted from within No. 9 Courtyard, causing the surrounding ground to tremble. Wave after wave of Qi surged outward with No. 9 Courtyard as the center…

"What is going on?"

"Does the Jixian Sect have earthquakes too?"

"No, it seems like the sound caused by someone having a Breakthrough."

"The sound came from No. 9 Courtyard!!"

"Let's go… let's go take a look."

"…"

Zhu Gang, who was nearby, felt it the most intensely. He had just been cleaning the courtyard with several gray-robed Disciples when the suddenly surging waves nearly blew him away.

He barely managed to steady his figure, then retreated several hundred meters with the gray-robed Disciples.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger; Li Dong arrived, Shan Yanghui arrived, and there were many other Prodigies, all talented descendants of various Families.

This tremor even drew the deacon who had just spoken about breaking Xiao Fan's arms.

"Is this guy having a Breakthrough? How can his Aura be so massive!"

"My god, even a Breakthrough to the Great Perfection of the Huaqi Realm wouldn't have such a commotion…"

"Didn't this Xiao Fan just reach the sixth level of the Huaqi Realm? He had a Breakthrough right after a fight?"

Among the onlookers, Li Dong's expression was the ugliest.

"Damn it, damn it…" Li Dong cursed in his heart, never expecting Xiao Fan to have a Breakthrough at this moment!

The greater the commotion during a Breakthrough, the stronger the strength.

And the commotion happening now had already caught up to the sound of a Breakthrough at the Great Perfection of the Huaqi Realm.

High above in the Void Realm, two figures floated; it was still that White-haired Elder and the middle-aged man.

This imposing middle-aged man was the very person who had spoken up for Xiao Fan.

"This little guy is not simple… to cause such a huge commotion just by breaking through to the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm." The White-haired Elder smiled, though a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The middle-aged man on the side also spoke: "He is indeed not simple. When he was at the sixth level of the Huaqi Realm, his strength had already reached the level of the ninth level… Once he reaches the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm…"

"Such a Prodigy hasn't appeared in the Jixian Sect for a long time." The White-haired Elder smiled.

The stronger one can challenge across ranks, the stronger their talent.

These two naturally saw things more clearly than anyone else. Xiao Fan could already challenge across ranks; at the sixth level of the Huaqi Realm, he could fight the ninth level. Once he reached the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, wouldn't he be able to fight the Great Perfection of the Huaqi Realm?

If he reached the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm, wouldn't that mean he had no rivals within the Huaqi Realm!

This was a talent possessed only by a true Prodigy!

"Rumble…"

Another massive wave erupted from No. 8 Courtyard, then the ground tremors and the rolling waves of Qi all dissipated, as if they had never happened.

Xiao Fan in the cabin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze incomparably deep, his Aura even more robust than before.

"The seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, truly Bufan. If I were to fight Shan Yanghui now, I wouldn't be suppressed and beaten."

A look of joy flashed across Xiao Fan's face. Actually, breaking through to the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm was very easy; he could even have pushed to the Middle Stage of the seventh level!

However, he chose to give it up. He needed to be steady and solid; only with a firm Foundation could he go further.

And what was even more fortunate was that Xiao Fan could be certain that when he entered the star chart, no one around could perceive the existence of the star chart.

The commotion he had just made was so great; it must have attracted many big shots of the Outer Sect. At the very least, the person who spoke up for him must have come…

But since there were no anomalies, it meant there was no issue.

The star chart was his greatest secret; if it were leaked, he would surely die.

Xiao Fan believed that even the Sect Master of the Jixian Sect would want such a supreme treasure.

"When the Divine Soul enters the star chart, it seems that although the Physical Body is left without the Divine Sense, outsiders cannot perceive it…"

Xiao Fan muttered in his heart. After he activated the star chart, although he had mastered the method of use…

He had not completely activated all the functions of the star chart.

Or rather, his strength was simply not enough. Only when he became stronger in the future and shattered more stars would he be able to master it.

Xiao Fan slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin…

Outside, thousands of people were already surrounding the place… which made him pause for a moment.

Although he had thought the commotion would be large, he hadn't expected it to attract so many people.

"Everyone, apologies, the commotion from my Breakthrough just now seems to have been a bit too loud."

Xiao Fan cupped his hands, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

However, the people around didn't think so. The commotion just now was simply too large, leaving them astonished.

"Look, I told you he really had a Breakthrough…"

"To have that kind of commotion just by breaking through to the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm? No way…"

"Is he really a live-in son-in-law? I don't believe it. Would someone with this kind of talent become a live-in son-in-law?"

"Shh… keep your voice down, don't let The Terror hear you."

"…"

Discussions were everywhere, but before long, the crowd dispersed. After all, the Breakthrough was already over, and there was nothing left to see.

Li Dong was full of unwillingness; if he wanted revenge, he would have to think of other ways.

Shan Yanghui's expression was heavy. Xiao Fan already had very strong strength before, and now that he had a Breakthrough, he was definitely even stronger…

Glancing at the back of Li Dong as he left, Shan Yanghui followed him. Although the matter hadn't been accomplished, it wouldn't be unreasonable to collect some benefits, right?
