Chapter 74 Research Conference 27 You are not as good as others.
Xie Jiaoyue carried the small jade bottle with her and hurried towards the clan school.
She wasn't an indiscreet person; she had looked back several times to check, but never noticed anything following her until she arrived at the clan school and saw the panicked expressions on her senior brothers' and sisters' faces. Only then did she realize that something really was following her.
The two magical beasts followed her on the ground until Xie Jiaoyue returned to the clan school, where defensive formations were set up on the ground, at which point the two magical beasts took to the air.
Therefore, Xie Jiaoyue, who was in mid-air, did not notice that the ground was her blind spot. By the time she realized it, it was too late.
Warcraft's target was also very clear: she.
She now has two choices. The first is to sacrifice herself and fly far away, taking the monster with her and waiting for her superiors to come and rescue her. She will most likely be injured before her superiors arrive.
The second option is to dive right there and plunge into the crowd, entrusting everything to her senior brothers and sisters whose cultivation is higher than hers before her superiors arrive. Her senior brothers and sisters will most likely be injured.
Xie Jiaoyue chose the third one.
She stopped in mid-air.
She could already hear her teachers shouting behind her, telling her to hide quickly, and she could also hear the voices of her classmates below, telling her to be careful and not to rush in.
But if she hides, no matter how she hides, someone will definitely get hurt.
She hadn't yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and certainly didn't have the resources to directly confront magical beasts. However, she did have a pill that the three of them had refined together, which they hadn't yet named.
The monster was almost within reach. Xie Jiaoyue felt she could almost smell its strange, fishy odor, like the rotting smell of aquatic plants, fish, and shrimp mixed together in a shallow summer ditch, a lingering aura of death.
Xie Jiaoyue's movements seemed to have been practiced hundreds of times. With her left hand, she crushed the jade bottle, and five or six pills rose into the air. With her right hand, she reached over her head and drew the long sword that had been dormant for a long time from her back.
She drew all her spiritual power into her longsword and slashed forward without reservation, accurately hitting the five or six pills.
The sharp sword energy brought with it gusts of wind, and the pills in front of Xie Jiaoyue moved forward with the force of the wind, reaching the demonic beasts in the blink of an eye, where they exploded in the chests of the two demonic beasts.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
The explosion was far louder than before, causing eardrum pain. Each pill, coated with a hard material forged under high pressure, shattered into tiny particles in the violent explosion, like sharp bullets. These particles shot towards the magical beasts, piercing their bodies and wreaking havoc.
Small pills and magical artifacts are indeed different; no matter what, they cannot perfectly preserve the shape of sword energy, nor can they accurately reproduce sword energy.
Compressible sword energy may not possess the extraordinary power of sword energy, but it can still generate power similar to an explosive bullet.
What makes bullets hurt? They hurt people with shrapnel!
The stray bullet fragments formed by one pill are too few to cause sufficient damage, so let's have a few more!
After a cloud of dust cleared, the sound of a heavy object falling was heard.
"I can't see clearly, could it be Xie Jiaoyue?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! There were two sounds of falling, it was definitely a monster!"
Warcraft!
It's Warcraft!
What was Xie Jiaoyue's cultivation level again?
Could it be that he has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?
People then realized that because Xie Jiaoyue had appeared so infrequently recently, this former top scorer in the entrance exam had gradually faded from people's leisure time, and they didn't even know what her current cultivation level was.
Logically speaking, most of the junior disciples who have just entered the clan academy are at the early stage of Qi Refining. Some may not even have reached the Qi Refining stage yet and need to be taught by their teachers from scratch. The better ones are at most at the third level of Qi Refining, still within the early stage of Qi Refining.
Even after a period of cultivation, the time is too short. In theory, there shouldn't be too much difference. At most, one or two levels can be improved, and at most, one can go from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Qi Refining, which is at most the sixth level of Qi Refining, but it is still considered the middle stage.
This is still the best-case scenario.
Xie Jiaoyue, who spends all her time researching pills, simply doesn't have enough time to cultivate, and definitely can't reach her best state.
As the smoke and dust cleared, those who looked up early could already see Xie Jiaoyue's figure clearly.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that Xie Jiaoyue was indeed at the sixth level of Qi Refining!
What's wrong with this person? Others usually have twelve two-hour periods, but Xie Jiaoyue has twenty-four, right?
Are you trying to kill everyone else?
But if she was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, how did Xie Jiaoyue manage to kill two magical beasts all by herself?
Could it be that the pill they refined really has such a miraculous effect, greatly increasing a cultivator's attack power?
Some astute individuals have already realized that the first place at this academic conference may soon change hands.
Xie Jiaoyue is so capable. Since entering the clan academy, she seems to have been favored by the heavens, and things have gone so smoothly for her.
However, before the winner could be decided, something even more shocking happened.
In mid-air, countless golden spiritual energies gathered towards Xie Jiaoyue, forming small vortexes that swirled endlessly around her.
At this crucial juncture, Xie Jiaoyue is about to break through to the next level.
For Xie Jiaoyue herself, this was not sudden, but rather a natural progression.
All the fear stemmed from insufficient firepower, but now she possessed firepower, enough to compensate for a minor level of weakness.
What could be more uplifting and fearless than this?
No!
At this moment, she felt that even if Chu Xingjin turned against her on the spot, even if Feng Qianqian, whom she had been pulling along, switched sides on the spot, even if several henchmen suddenly appeared by Chu Xingjin's side, she had nothing to fear.
The term "cannon fodder" is becoming increasingly distant from her; what could be more exhilarating than this?
carefree!
In such a joyful mood, Xie Jiaoyue's accumulated spiritual energy merged with the spiritual energy in the air, and she broke through.
His cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi Refining gradually increased, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he still hadn't stopped.
Eighth floor, ninth floor!
Everyone below was stunned. Everyone was thinking, how could Xie Jiaoyue have accumulated so much spiritual energy when they had been cultivating for the same amount of time?
No, they immediately realized that Xie Jiaoyue had spent far more time cultivating than they had.
While they were playing, sleeping, and doing nothing, Xie Jiaoyue was always cultivating.
What's wrong with this person? Is the pressure of cultivation so great? You know, if a person's talent limit is Golden Core, then unless there is a fortuitous encounter, no matter how much time they spend cultivating, it's not just a matter of reaching the Golden Core a little earlier or later. After reaching the talent limit, it will be difficult to make any further progress.
Therefore, many people are not in a hurry to cultivate; they just want to take their time.
Although Xie Jiaoyue is highly talented, she will also have a long lifespan in the future. Why is she in such a hurry and not enjoying life properly?
Soon, they stopped even bothering to think about such trivial ideas.
Because Xie Jiaoyue, who was in mid-air, had actually reached the Great Perfection of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining and was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?!
Are you kidding me? You've only been cultivating for a short time, how can you expect to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
Fortunately, Xie Jiaoyue gave up after only a brief attempt. She wanted to ask again and wasn't in a hurry to establish her foundation.
She herself was just making a normal attempt, but the people below breathed a sigh of relief.
I was terrified! I was really terrified! If our junior sister, who had just entered the clan academy, suddenly reached the Foundation Establishment stage, wouldn't all the senior brothers and sisters be nagged to death by the teachers?
Xie Jiaoyue sat upright on a lotus flower, carrying her newly acquired Qi Refining Level 10 Perfection cultivation and two demonic beast corpses in her hands, flying towards the crowd from mid-air in the manner of a victor.
Unlike her previous disheveled appearance when she was rushing, she is now full of spiritual energy and in high spirits because she has just advanced in her level.
She also thoughtfully set up a basic defensive array for the two magical beasts in her hands. It didn't serve any other purpose but was just to isolate the smell so as not to disturb other people.
Her nonchalant attitude about advancing to the next round amazed those around her.
Xin Rong, in particular, almost wanted to applaud.
What's this called? This is subtle showing off, the most lethal kind.
Xie Jiaoyue's move will definitely be etched in his memory.
Everyone who advances has a desire to announce it to the world, even if it's just one level, from Qi Refining Level 1 to Qi Refining Level 2. They can't wait to let everyone around them know the good news.
From the sixth floor to the tenth floor, everyone around must know it four times.
Xie Jiaoyue, however, acted as if she didn't care at all, as if her advancement was normal, as natural and simple as breathing and drinking water.
Looking back, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Xin Rong sighed once again, thinking how outstanding his junior classmate was, whom he had supported from the very beginning.
But why is my junior sister bringing a magical beast with her? What is she going to do with it?
Shouldn't the most important thing to do now be to go back and consolidate your cultivation level?
Xin Rong actively cleared the way for Xie Jiaoyue, leading her to the assembled teachers.
Xie Jiaoyue thanked Xin Rong happily, then pointed to the magical beast and said to her teachers, "Dear teachers."
Xie Jiaoyue paused for a moment.
"Is this power enough for us to win first place in the research competition?"
The Wang family commander who had made things difficult for Xie Xinghui the most was taken aback. He wanted to shake his head, wanting to find some more reasons to belittle the pills refined by Xie Jiaoyue's team, wanting to find even the slightest reason to say that there was a problem with Xie Jiaoyue's demonstration.
But what else could he say?
Just now, Xie Jiaoyue, in full view of everyone, actually killed the demonic beast with her cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining and several pills.
That's fine. If Xie Jiaoyue had a pill made by a Nascent Soul cultivator, or even a lower-level Golden Core cultivator, it would be normal for it to have such power.
But this was just a pill made by a Qi Refining stage disciple.
Even the concentrated sword energy in their pills was created by Xie Jiaoyue.
How did three weaklings in the Qi Refining stage manage to unleash power comparable to those in the Foundation Establishment stage?!
Commander Wang closed his eyes in anguish.
I'm sorry, young master, he simply cannot bring himself to lie through his teeth.
Young master, you are not as good as others.
