Chapter 11: Not Hitting the South Wall Until the Heart Is Dead!
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads towards the sound. In the distance, two slender figures were approaching. The leader was dressed in white, elegant and graceful, exuding the air of a young nobleman.
âJunior Brother Meng!â Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and it was Xia Han! At this moment, his injuries had long since healed, and he had even made some progress. It wouldnât be long before he could consider breaking through to the Aperture Connecting Realm. After all, he had been stuck at the ninth level of the Vein Tempering Realm for many years.
Ignoring the gazes of everyone around him, Meng Changqing placed his right hand on the long sword at his waist and walked slowly to the front of the elder.
âGreetings, Elder.â Meng Changqing bowed slightly. Even an outer disciple elder held a very high status within the sect and couldnât be treated with the slightest disrespect.
After the salutation, Meng Changqing looked to the side of the elder, and the personâs information panel instantly appeared.
Basic Information:
ăName: Sun Haishană
ăRace: Humană
ăCultivation: Ninth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realmă
Attribute Information:
ăRoot Bone: Fourth Gradeă
ăComprehension: Ordinaryă
ăMartial Arts: âCloud Breaking Spearâ (Partial Mastery), âEight-Inch Stepâ (Partial Mastery)ă
âThe attributes are just average. It seems that without any opportunities, Fourth-Grade Physique can only cultivate to the Ninth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realm at most. With luck, one might step into the Sea Cleaving Realm, but thatâs the limit,â Meng Changqing thought to himself. If it had been his previous Fifth Grade Physique, his future achievements would have been even lower.
âCloud Breaking Spearâ seems to be a profound low-grade martial art. Only inner disciples can practice high-grade martial arts!â Meng Changqing took a deep breath. Regarding the inner sect, he had naturally tried to understand it. As long as he could enter the inner sect, whether it was cultivation resources or martial arts techniques, they would far surpass those of the outer sect. There was simply no comparison between them!
âAperture Connecting Realm.â The elder looked Meng Changqing up and down. âYouâve actually reached the Aperture Connecting Realm!â
Upon hearing the elderâs words, Xia Han was shocked, then somewhat incredulous. Didnât Meng Changqing just reach the eighth level of the Vein Tempering Realm not long ago? How long had it been?
âFrom your aura, you must have just broken through,â the elder withdrew his gaze and said casually, âNot even stable yet. Isnât it too risky?â
âFists and feet have no eyes, let alone puppets.â
âBe careful not to be seriously injured. The realm youâve just broken through with great difficulty will be lost.â
As the elder spoke, the previously calm crowd suddenly erupted into an uproar.
âWhat? Just broke through and dare to come here? Are you crazy!â
Someone couldnât help but exclaim.
âYeah, do you really think this Puppet Valley is just for show? That you can easily pass through it?â
âDidnât you see that even Zhao Zhen and the others failed?â
âTruly arrogant. Youâre dreaming!â
For a moment, some people uttered mocking words. Zhao Zhen and the others nearby also sneered. Even they, âveteransâ of the Aperture Connecting Realm, couldnât pass through, let alone someone who just made a breakthrough.
âGo back,â the elder kindly reminded, preparing to close the passage. But Meng Changqing stopped him.
âElder, I really want to try this passage.â
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the elderâs eyes. He had seen too many people like this, thinking that breaking through to the Aperture Connecting Realm would enable them to pass through the Puppet Valley. They were too arrogant, overestimating their abilities.
âFine, itâs up to you,â the elderâs voice returned to indifference. Stepping aside, he cleared the way.
âThank you, Elder,â Meng Changqing understood the elderâs thoughts, but there was no need to explain. Facts would prove everything.
Slowly drawing his long sword from his waist, Meng Changqing, with sword in hand, stepped into the cold passage with his right foot.
âThese people are really annoying,â hearing more and more questioning and mocking voices around her, Bai Suxiâs beautiful eyebrows furrowed, showing displeasure. As Senior Brother Mengâs friend, she naturally couldnât bear to hear such words. Senior Brother Meng was not ordinary. With two perfected martial arts, he had a great chance of passing through the Puppet Valley.
âMaster, what do you think?â Bai Suxi asked in her heart.
âBased on the previous situation, this second-level puppet is obviously not an ordinary puppet. Both its defense and strength are quite good. However, this kid has mastered two perfected martial arts, so he should be able to pass through. However, the process may be difficult, and he may even get injured,â the old voice gave a fair judgment.
Since being shaken by Meng Changqingâs realm just now, she had remained silent until now. She couldnât speak casually to Meng Changqing as she did before. After all, she had been proven wrong twice.
âYeah, I think so too,â Bai Suxi nodded heavily.
âJunior Brother Meng,â Xia Han also stared at Meng Changqingâs figure, but unlike others, he naturally hoped that Meng Changqing would succeed. Itâs just difficult.
