To Lin Fan and Qingfeng's surprise, the enormous lightning bolts did not strike them, but instead all struck the Snow Demon.
"It's the boss!"
Just then, Lin Fan finally saw Xiao Chen high in the sky and said excitedly. Hearing this, Qing Feng finally felt relieved. With Xiao Chen here, they were probably safe.
As Xiao Chen unleashed his magic, in an instant, tens of thousands of snow demons present were reduced to ashes by the lightning.
After dealing with the snow demons, Xiao Chen leisurely flew to the two of them.
"Are you two alright?"
"Hehe, it's okay, boss. Doing it again is no big deal."
Lin Fan said casually, while Xiao Chen looked into the distance, waved his hand, and led them away. When leaving, he didn't forget to take all the crystal cores present into his possession, since there were tens of thousands of crystal cores, enough for the two of them to advance to S-level.
After finding a relatively safe place, Xiao Chen became somewhat curious.
How did you two end up in such a dangerous situation?
Qingfeng and Lin Fan became a little embarrassed, and Lin Fan spoke first.
"We didn't know either. We only saw a few dozen snow demons and thought we would kill them and take the crystal core. But we didn't expect that when we made our move, a whole bunch of snow demons would suddenly appear from all around us. They were all second-tier snow demons. We were no match for them."
"Has it gained sentience? It seems those dozens of snow demons were just bait."
From these words, Xiao Chen could easily deduce that these snow demons had probably developed intelligence. After all, even demon beasts could develop intelligence, so it wasn't surprising that snow demons, despite having a different power system than demon beasts, had developed intelligence.
"These guys are really too cunning. We were just secretly hunting them down, but we didn't expect them to pull this on us."
Hearing this, Lin Fan said angrily, clearly he was angry.
"Alright, you two take a break first. If you'd like, you can come with me to the other world."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen decided that he should still go to the other world to see if he could find out their ultimate goal.
"Is the other world dangerous?"
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment before saying that he was almost no match for the ones sent over, let alone the ones from the other world, who were probably all elites.
But Qingfeng was not afraid at all.
"It's just another world. If it can help me become stronger, why not go there?"
As Qingfeng finished speaking, Lin Fan immediately retorted without backing down, "In that case, I'll go too."
Lin Fan cursed inwardly, "This damn competitive spirit of mine."
"In that case, you should first restore yourselves to their peak condition, and I will help you break through to S-rank."
According to Xiao Chen's calculations, the combat power of an S-rank is basically on par with the peak of Qi Refining, while an A-rank is only about the same as the mid-stage of Qi Refining. A mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator probably couldn't even beat a lowly soldier over there.
Xiao Chen wanted to send them over for training, not to keep cleaning up their messes. According to Xiao Chen's estimation, these two were probably chosen ones and wouldn't die so easily.
"Hmm, have my sister and the others already broken through to S-rank?"
Lin Fan asked with some curiosity. After seeing Xiao Chen nod, Lin Fan felt a surge of motivation to become stronger. He couldn't let his sister surpass him.
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng frowned slightly. Even An Fengyuan had surpassed him?
With this in mind, the two immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the crystal core to restore their power.
Seeing that the two had started cultivating, Xiao Chen shook his head and went to the other end to start cultivating as well. Although the progress of Golden Core stage cultivation was extremely slow, his strength was what it was, and it was impossible to advance in a day.
According to Xiao Chen's estimate, it would take at least a year to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and the Nascent Soul realm would be a long way off.
Time always flies, and two and a half days passed quickly. Lin Fan and Qingfeng suddenly opened their eyes, having already restored their strength to its peak.
Xiao Chen had already sensed it, so he withdrew from his cultivation state.
"Since you're all ready, I'll help you break through your bottlenecks and reach S-rank."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he directly took out the tens of thousands of second-tier crystal cores from before. A rumbling pressure fell directly down, instantly shattering the tens of thousands of crystal cores. The blank law power within them could even faintly descend into their form.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two began to frantically absorb the power of the laws within and convert it into their own power of laws.
Because both of them were already at the peak of A-rank, and after countless battles and trials, their own realm had long since broken through to S-rank, but their power of laws was simply insufficient.
Now, as the power of the laws continues to flow into their bodies, their auras are constantly growing stronger. Xiao Chen can also feel that as they are about to break through to S-rank, their energy is becoming increasingly powerful.
This means that their lifespans may be extended, just as Lin Yichen, Qin Bajiao, and An Fengyuan did previously, with their lifespans increasing by about a hundred years.
"Judging from this trend, it seems that only those who break through to SSS level or above can rival cultivators in the Golden Core stage, but the resources at that level are probably enormous."
Xiao Chen shook his head, and the massive amount of law power around them quickly disappeared as they absorbed it, and their cultivation levels were completely stabilized at S-rank.
"Is this the terror of an S-class ability user? I feel that he is much stronger than before. If we were to face that group of snow demons again, I'm afraid the boss wouldn't even need to lift a finger."
Lin Fan said excitedly, while Qingfeng's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Let's go. Now that you've all broken through to S-rank, it's time for us to give it a try."
Xiao Chen looked towards the distant capital of Fengli Kingdom, his eyes thoughtful. He had to be careful this time and not make too much of a commotion, since he was going there to gather intelligence.
"Um."
The two nodded, then stood up and followed Xiao Chen toward the altar.
Meanwhile, at the altar, the number of monsters was far greater than before, and it looked extremely eerie from a distance. At this moment, the three of them had just arrived at the edge of the altar.
"Take the Hidden Breath Seal with you, let's go."
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and said something, and the two of them nodded. They had been carrying the Concealing Breath Seal with them all this time.
"In that case, let's go."
