Transcending the Nine Heavens

At that time, Chu Yang felt miserable beyond words. The force continued to agitate his entire body. He felt as though his meridians were going to burst and it seemed impossible for him to hold on any longer. However, that was all he could do – hang on. But as his limits were being pushed, he didn’t know how long more he would be able to hang on for...

At any given moment, his body could explode into a million pieces. However, before that happened, Chu Yang absolutely refused to give up!

The pressure on his meridians continued to increase and blood began to trickle out from his orifices which made his face look extremely grim and horrifying...

In this exact time...

"Motherf*, what is this?" The sword spirit that Chu Yang had been trying with all his effort to summon had finally appeared. The moment that it had appeared, it was beyond shock, "Where were you able to find those herbal medicines with such enormous potency?"

It then paused for a moment as if to check, before it said in surprise, "It’s the power of the Jade Spirit Ginseng!" It flew into such a great fury, "Why did you eat such a thing?"

"What kind of thing did I eat? Jade Spirit Ginseng?" Chu Yang could only think in his head. However, that slight bit of distraction was already taking its toll on him. He barely even had the strength to maintain a mental conversation with the sword spirit...

"Absorb! Control!..." The sword spirit roared out. Gradually, Chu Yang felt the pressure in his body weakening...

Finally, after a period of time passed, the sword spirit finally paused and said with frustration, "I only controlled seventy percent. You have to take in the remainder... Geez... You damn kid. Are rare items really that easy to eat? You really are stupid! If it wasn’t for me, you would have already turned into just a lump of flesh..."

Chu Yang was starting to regain a bit of awareness. However, his meridians continued to bulge as much as before. He didn’t have the strength to bother about the words from the sword spirit and instead focused all of his energies on controlling his martial energy.

"This... I can no longer control his cultivation level. However, with no enlightenment to accompany it, what should I do?" After Chu Yang entered his meditative state, the sword spirit continued to mutter as he seemed very troubled...

Ji Mo and company looked worriedly at Chu Yang. After Gu Du Xing’s interference, Ji Mo still held onto the idea of trying to help Chu Yang out. However, the result was even worse than Gu Du Xing’s His arms and legs stuck out as he flailed in the wind as he was blown away fifty to sixty feet from where he originally was and fell head first into a pile of snow...

Although everyone thought that it was funny, they were far more concerned for Chu Yang to be preoccupied with what had happened to Ji Mo.

Gradually, the expression of the five brothers went from concern to relief. The violent force was gradually weakening... It seemed that Chu Yang had begun to stabilize...

After his situation was stable, and everyone let out a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders...

Gu Du Xing said coldly, "I thought you guys couldn’t accept big brother. Why were all of you so anxious just now?"

Ji Mo responded without turning around, "Gibberish! When did I say that I didn’t accept him?" He suddenly frowned and spoke worriedly, "Twenty days out of a month has passed; why don’t I have any feeling of a breakthrough? F*! If I get kicked out... I will lose face..."

The moment that he said that, everyone nodded in agreement. Luo Ke Di said in a sad tone, "Me, too. I feel as though I am stuck at a bottleneck. It’s all your faults, you guys keep beating me up every single day..."

Dong Wu Shang smiled and said, "I should be breaking through in one or two days. This is so embarrassing; it seems that I have no choice but to take that third brother position!"

Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di immediately rolled their eyes as they looked hatefully at Dong Wu Shang. The two could not even cry out tears...

Rui Bu Tong also frowned in contemplation and said, "I also feel like, in a few days, there might be a chance..."

Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di’s jaws dropped and the fell to the ground. Could it be that the two of us will be last?

At that very moment, an aura rippled through the atmosphere...

This aura was very familiar! It was the breakthrough aura!

Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di jumped in surprise. They hastily scampered around and let out a strange scream. They looked all around as they shouted in disbelief, "Who? Motherf*, who is it? Who broke through?"

They were already bitter about not being able to breakt hrough by just talking, and now it had actually happened?

The moment they turned their heads, they saw Dong Wu Shang, whose face was previously smug was now also startled. He rolled his eyes and looked behind him, "Breakthrough over there; mother*!"

"Not over there..." Before Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di could finish speaking, they suddenly became stupefied and ran forward.

All they could see was Chu Yang’s calm countenance. His reddish purple face from before had disappeared. In place was the luster of glowing jade beneath his skin.

"Big brother is breaking through again..." Luo Ke Di muttered.

"Mmm, he was below ninth grade Martial Artist..." Gu Du Xing rolled his eyes and said casually, "What’s so strange about it?"

"What’s so strange about it?" Ji Mo murmured that phrase once more; then he suddenly yelled out, "You tell me if it’s strange. A few days ago he had just broken through. Moreover, he had broken through three grades in a row! And now he is breaking through again?"

"Three grades... That’s nothing!" Gu Du Xing said condescendingly, "Just you wait and see!" Gu Du Xing had a feeling that this time, Chu Yang would surely shock all of them!

In front of the stunned gazes of five talented young men, Chu Yang started to advance from ninth grade and slowly went into mid-level ninth grade Martial Artist, then top-level...

Chu Yang’s countenance reddened once more...

A dense aura burst out!

"And... and he’s breaking through again... Martial Master... first grade Martial Master!" Luo Ke Di stuttered.

The others were dumbfounded. Their necks were stretched out like a giraffe as they looked at Chu Yang, their eyeballs almost dropped from their sockets in shock. Only Gu Du Xing’s expression remained indifferent as he thought to himself: All of you aren’t really shocked yet. If you continue to stay with Chu Yang for as long as I have, sooner or later, such things wouldn’t surprise you anymore...

Just thinking about how he was able to retain his composure as he did, Gu Du Xing felt a little bitter. Looking at the current expressions of Ji Mo and company... they were no different than his from before...

He was already a first grade Martial Master, but the aura continued to rise... mid-level, top-level...

"Bang!"

Ji Mo’s mouth grew wider and wider; finally, it let out a cracking sound as he dislocated his jaw. It hurt so much that his body trembled. He hastily raised his hands to adjust it and called out, "Second grade... He is at second grade already..."

The pitch of his voice was extremely high which was terrified yet at the same time jealous and bitter... Such a voice was truly indescribable...

The others stood petrified like statues while maintaining their shocked expressions...

Low-level second grade, mid-level second grade... peak of second grade...

Dong Wu Shang plopped to the ground and hastily grabbed some snow to rub on his face, "Damn, I need to calm down..."

Finally, "bang"...

All five of them were in awe and shocked at the same time!

Third grade... mid-level third grade... peak of third grade...

My god, he has finally stopped!

Looking at the four stunned people who seemed as if they had just seen a ghost, Gu Du Xing said in disdain, "Isn’t it just a breakthrough? Look at you people... You are acting as if you have not seen it before."

"Not seen it before? Gu Du Xing, can you be any less heartless?" Ji Mo shrieked, "Before, he broke through as a Martial Artist. This time, he is breaking through as a Martial Master; are they the same thing?"

Hearing this, Gu Du Xing immediate understood and smacked his forehead, "Yes!" He looked in Chu Yang’s direction in astonishment.

Yes, how could a Martial Artist’s breakthrough be the same as a Martial Master’s breakthrough? Moreover, Chu Yang had done it just as easily as though he was splitting bamboo!

Everyone immediately recalled the words which Chu Yang had said before: "I am currently a fourth grade Martial Artist! In a month, I will break through Martial Master!... Each of you must advance by one grade in cultivation."

Yes, but it had only been twenty days! Chu Yang had achieved his target of becoming a Martial Master! Moreover, he had surpassed his goal!

He had broken through ten grades, and the rest of them had remained unchanged!

Ji Mo began to compare himself to Chu Yang and suddenly wanted to kill himself! He had always considered himself a heavenly talent; now, he realized that he was as dumb as a pig!

The gap was too great!

At this very moment, Gu Du Xing quietly spoke into Ji Mo’s ear, "Ji Mo, I will tell you a piece of good news."

"What?" Ji Mo asked with a tearful face.

"The good news is... I will break through ninth grade Sword Great Master soon..." Gu Du Xing smiled joyfully.

"Aaaaaah..." Ji Mo completely collapsed. He jumped up and yelled, "Is there heavenly justice? Is there any heavenly justice left? Where is heavenly justice?"

All of a sudden, he knelt on the ground and beat his face into the snow, "Kill me, kill me..."

Luo Ke Di and Dong Wu Shang looked at Ji Mo in surprise; they stammered, "He... is epileptic?"

"A case of epileptic seizure!" Gu Du Xing looked joyfully at another’s suffering...

At this time, an aura suddenly surged up!

Someone was also having a breakthrough!

Everyone looked in Chu Yang’s direction in shock. They thought: This monstrous guy, is he still not done with breaking through? However, they as they looked at him, they did not see any changes. While they were still puzzled, Dong Wu Shang screamed out, "Why is it you? Why is it you?"

Everyone followed his gaze to find Ji Mo crouched on the ground looking very strange. That aura was indeed emitted from Ji Mo’s body...

This punk continually received stimuli and had now unexpectedly broken through...

Dong Wu Shang was indescribably bitter!

He was extremely close to breaking through and was on the verge of passing his bottleneck. All he needed to do was go home and carefully cultivate. Then he would have been able to break through and become the third brother worshipped by three junior brothers...

Dong Wu Shang even thought about how he would act when he got that position...

However, in the blink of an eye, Ji Mo had unexpectedly broken through before he did! According to the break through order... Ji Mo had become third brother. Moreover, even if he were to break though now, he would be ranked under Ji Mo...

In this hour, second young master Dong Wu Shang could only grind his teeth in resentment of Ji Mo! His mind was confused and did not know how to react. Could it be because I slacked off and wasted half a day? How could this be?
