Ruan Xinrou spent so many resources to barely reach the Pseudo-Core Realm, which is nothing to any cultivator, but Sect Master Huayang was very proud of it.
He counted the sects in Zhongzhou. Among the disciples under the age of twenty, very few were able to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage, let alone the Pseudo-Core Formation stage.
“Apart from that freak Murong Jin, everyone else is at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even Bai Ying is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Xin Rou, you will definitely shine in the end. In this trial, you represent the face of our Huayang Sect. You must win first place in the trial and try your best to obtain the inheritance treasure. This will greatly enhance your strength.”
Ruan Xinrou nodded excitedly, already imagining the scene of her jaw-dropping astonishment when she appeared before everyone again. They simply couldn't believe that in just three days, she had already advanced from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the Pseudo-Core Formation stage.
Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh out loud.
Like the other elders, Su Yu had been channeling spiritual energy into Ruan Xinrou for a long time, leaving him exhausted.
After the sect leader finished speaking, he forced himself to overcome his exhaustion and took out some information about the Shadow Valley Trials from his storage ring, intending to show it to Ruan Xinrou.
This was information he had bought some time ago specifically for the trial in Shadow Valley, but Ruan Xinrou was not interested in it at all.
"What's so interesting about that? I'm already at the Pseudo-Core Realm, a whole realm higher than you, Senior Brother. Can't I just casually make a name for myself in those trials?"
Su Yu, however, was not so optimistic about this.
Murong Jin already possessed the strength of the Golden Core stage, but he had not gained any benefit from the previous two trials in Youying Valley.
The monsters there were completely different from those they had encountered before; they were all creatures never seen in the Central Plains region. Their habits and power were unknown to them. He had bought this information from the black market. Although it wasn't complete, it would still be of some use.
Seeing that Ruan Xinrou didn't take it seriously, Su Yu still opened the documents in front of her, wanting to look at them together.
However, Ruan Xinrou said to him:
"Senior brother, do you think Fifth Senior Sister will go to this trial?"
Su Yu was stunned. When he suddenly heard Ruan Xinrou mention Bai Ying, his heart ached. The thought that his fifth junior sister would no longer be his junior sister, but someone else's, made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I guess I'll go..." Su Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Then Senior Sister is going on behalf of the Lingxiao Sect. Our Huayang Sect has nurtured her for so many years, but she is going on behalf of another sect, without any regard for the sect that raised her. How distressed Master must be."
Ruan Xinrou spoke with righteous indignation.
"Furthermore, senior brother, you don't know, this time senior sister actually insisted that Master choose between her and me. She said things like it's either her or me, or me or her..."
I know that my cultivation is indeed not as good as hers, and she can provide greater assistance to the sect, but she can't do this.
Thankfully, my master chose me; otherwise, I don't know what I would have done. My cultivation level isn't high enough to be sought after by other sects like she is. Otherwise, I would have been left with no choice but to kill myself.
Ruan Xinrou's eyes even reddened when she talked about Bai Ying.
Her words clearly implied to Su Yu that Bai Ying wanted to force her to her death.
Normally, at this time, Su Yu would have already rushed over to question Bai Ying in a fit of rage, and his disgust for her would have only grown stronger.
But now, after hearing Ruan Xinrou's words, he remained silent.
Because Ruan Xinrou was unaware that he had already met Yan Chiling at the Cliff of Contemplation. Yan Chiling, unusually, didn't side with Ruan Xinrou but told the truth. Therefore, Su Yu understood the whole story better than others; Bai Ying was clearly not at fault at all. How could Bai Ying be blamed?
If I were in Bai Ying's situation, I might have acted even more decisively than Bai Ying.
so......
In the past, my junior sister would always cry to me, saying that Bai Ying bullied her. Was it really all Bai Ying's fault?
Su Yu's eyes remained fixed on Ruan Xinrou.
Suddenly, he realized that his junior sister wasn't as innocent as he had imagined.
She did such terrible and vicious things to Bai Ying, but when she said it, it turned out that Bai Ying bullied her!
—
The sect leader instructed Ruan Xinrou to keep a low profile and wait until the final opportunity to seize the secret inheritance before revealing her true strength and astonishing everyone.
After all, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; revealing one's strength too early is not a good thing.
However, as soon as Ruan Xinrou stepped out, she forgot all of the sect leader's words. She wished that everyone in the entire Central Continent would know that she now had the strength of a pseudo-core cultivator.
Ruan Xinrou and her five teammates flew together on their swords. When they arrived at their destination, they looked around, trying to find Bai Ying.
She was already eager to show Bai Ying just how strong she was now.
She was like a proud peacock, wanting everyone to know that she had broken through to the Pseudo-Core Realm.
After all the young cultivators from Zhongzhou had arrived, Bai Ying, following her master's instructions, suppressed her cultivation level to the early Foundation Establishment stage. This was to avoid attracting too much attention from powerful figures during the early stages of the trial.
The Shadow Valley Trial is different from many previous trials. It not only requires dealing with demonic beasts, but also with cultivators from various sects who are participating.
After all, there is only one treasure to inherit, and everyone will do their best and use any means necessary to obtain the opportunity to inherit it.
If you attract too much attention at this time, you may become a target for others.
There might be several people who team up to kill the strongest cultivator first.
When Murong Jin first came here to participate in the trial, he was besieged by several peak Foundation Establishment experts. They even set up a formation to trap him. Murong Jin only managed to escape that time by fighting with all his might.
This genius almost perished here.
Therefore, Bai Ying has always kept a low profile.
When Ruan Xinrou met Bai Ying, she sensed that Bai Ying was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
A hint of smugness flashed in Ruan Xinrou's eyes as she unleashed the aura of her Pseudo-Core Formation realm.
"Senior sister, it's been a long time!"
She didn't explicitly state that she was already at the Pseudo-Core Formation Realm, but the oppressive aura she exuded clearly told everyone that she was now more powerful than Bai Ying.
She thought the people of the Lingxiao Sect would be amazed that she had broken through from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the Pseudo-Core stage in just three days, and that they would definitely regret choosing Bai Ying.
However, the people from the Lingxiao Sect did not show any sign of annoyance in front of her. Instead, they looked at her as if she were a fool.
Ruan Xinrou's brows furrowed immediately.
But she quickly came to terms with it.
It must be because they had already accepted Bai Ying as their disciple, so even if they regretted it, they could only swallow it and couldn't show it.
