At the same time.
A certain cultivation chamber on the outer zone opened up.
It was Zhao Tianyu, who appeared to be in a sorry plight. All the skin on his body was burning up, and he ran out from the cultivation chamber in agony.
The fire qi in the outer regions was equally painful to him.
His limit was at ten days.
He didn’t leave but waited by the Fire Lake for twenty days. Only then did he see Senior Martial Sister Zhou walking out slowly while frowning.
Her limit in the outer zone was one month.
“Congratulations, Senior Martial Sister Zhou. You’ve persisted for an entire month and can be ranked amongst the top 20 of the senior students,” Zhao Tianyu said, buttering up to her.
A hint of joy flashed on Senior Martial Sister Zhou’s face, but she quickly concealed it and pretended to be indifferent. “It’s just one month. It’s nothing much.”
After a slight pause, she turned to look at the Fire Lake behind her, thinking of that Xia Qingchen who didn’t listen to her advice.
“When did the junior student from the D class leave?”
Zhao Tianyu smirked. “Who knows? When I came out, I didn’t see anyone else. He must have run off without even cultivating for a single day.”
Senior Martial Sister Zhou wore an expression as if she had expected this outcome. She shook her head and said, “The junior students all think too highly of themselves. Aren’t they clear of their own caliber?”
Suddenly, Senior Martial Sister Zhou realized that the light on the cultivation chamber in the center was still lit up.
“30 days?” She exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Tianyu had noticed this long ago and also wore a solemn expression. “Only Zhu Zijian, who is ranked in first place, is able to cultivate in that particular cultivation chamber for 30 days!”
Hints of admiration and adoration flashed in Senior Martial Sister Zhou’s eyes.
Zhu Zijian, the second son of the Lone Cloud City’s number one martial aristocratic clan, the Zhu Clan.
He had been progressing very rapidly ever since he entered the martial pavilion, gaining a great lead over all the other students.
All of them couldn’t dream of catching up to him.
He was also very handsome, refined, and elegant. He was the dream guy for all the young ladies in Lone Cloud City.
In terms of his family background, martial arts, and appearance, there was no aspect in which he wasn’t a phenomenal existence that was a rare find in 10,000 people.
With all three traits fulfilled, it was apparent how great an impact he had toward the young ladies’ hearts.
Even a young lady with a dignified status like Senior Martial Sister Zhou had fallen for him.
“30 days is about Senior Martial Brother Zhu’s limit as well. He should be coming out soon. I’ll wait a little longer.” A hint of shyness and smile appeared on Senior Martial Sister Zhou’s cold face.
Zhao Tianyu sighed. Zhu Zijian was the only person who could let the martial pavilion’s ice beauty wear a shy expression!
He could only feel envious.
Suddenly, a figure walked over quickly.
However, the person only looked from afar and then turned to leave, mumbling, “As expected of Teacher. It’s been 30 days but he’s still cultivating!”
Senior Martial Sister Zhou turned and then gave chase after wearing a surprised expression.
The coldness on her face dissipated, replaced by a beaming smile. “Junior Shen, why have you come? Are you also here to cultivate?” She seemed to want to draw their relationship closer.
It was a pity that Shen Jinghong didn’t seem to care. He merely said indifferently, “Oh, Zhou Xuelin? It’s nothing. I’m just here to take a look.”
Not only was Zhou Xuelin not angry by his attitude, but she also tried to sound more intimate. “Junior Shen, our martial exchange meet will be held very soon, right? I’ll need to ask for Junior Shen to give more guidance then.”
Shen Jinghong sighed and said, “The exchange meet will be postponed to a later date. I’m waiting for teacher. He’ll personally give guidance to us then.”
Teacher?
Zhou Xuelin was secretly surprised.
What kind of person was Shen Jinghong? The person ranked last amongst the Lone Cloud’s Four Heroes?
No!
That was just his identity on the surface.
He had another identity, the youngest grandchild of the martial pavilion’s Pavilion Lord!
Given his identity, Zhen Zhilan was the only one amongst the same generation that could stand on par with his status.
Zhou Xuelin’s grandfather was only the Vice Headmaster of the martial pavilion.
She wasn’t even comparable to an ant in front of Shen Jinghong.
That was why she appeared to be so respectful toward him.
It was as Xia Qingchen had said previously. Her outspokenness was only left for people whose statuses weren’t comparable to her.
In front of people whose statuses were far above hers, the degree at which she lowered her standing wouldn’t lose out to Zhao Tianyu!
Right now, what astonished her was that Shen Jinghong had a teacher?
In the entire city, who had the right to become Shen Jinghong’s teacher?
There didn’t seem to be anyone else other than his grandfather.
“Be patient and wait!” Shen Jinghong kept his hands behind his back and went down the mountain, frowning. “I hope that teacher will come out soon, otherwise, there might not be enough time.” After sending Shen Jinghong off, Zhou Xuelin returned to her cold expression, waiting patiently by the Fire Lake.
Ten days passed by.
Zhao Tianyu was surprised. “Is Senior Zhu trying to challenge his limits?”
Zhou Xuelin’s gaze was filled with admiration as she said agitatedly, “Senior Zhu is really amazing! Being able to persist in the central cultivation chamber for 40 days already broke the record of the recent two years.” She was unable to withstand the fire qi in the central cultivation chamber after just two days.
40 days was a limit that she would be unable to reach even in her dreams.
However, their “Senior Zhu” still didn’t show any signs of coming out.
Day 50th!
Zhou Xuelin’s feelings went from great astonishment, to gradual numbness, to losing her patience.
She had her own things to do and couldn’t possibly keep on waiting here.
“Zhao Tianyu, wait here on my behalf. If Senior Zhu comes out, tell him that I have been here.” Zhou Xuelin instructed Zhao Tianyu.
Zhao Tianyu felt very envious to see that Zhou Xuelin would do such things just to let Zhu Zijian have a better impression of her.
“Alright!” He could only agree.
Day 60th.
Zhao Tianyu frowned deeply. “Is it really Zhu Zijian inside?”
He admitted that Zhu Zijian was very amazing, but was he really able to persist on for 60 days?
Zhao Tianyu threw a glance at the fiery-red stone tablet next to the Fire Lake, feeling great doubt.
The stone tablet was inscribed with the records of people who had cultivated in the cultivation chamber since the martial pavilion was established.
There were a total of ten names.
The person ranked in tenth position had cultivated for 50 days.
The one in fifth place was 60 days.
The current Zhu Zijian had already reached the record made by the person ranked in fifth position!?
That shouldn’t be possible, right?
What then took Zhao Tianyu by astonishment was that…
When day 70th passed by, the person inside still didn’t show any signs of coming out.
This record had already surpassed the record holder in third place.
Day 80th passed by!
Day 90th passed by!
Things carried on until day 99th!
Zhao Tianyu no longer wondered if the person inside was Zhu Zijian.
Regardless of who was inside, the person was about to make an unprecedented breakthrough in history!
In the course of history, Yu Qingyang was ranked in first place for being able to cultivate in the cultivation chamber for the longest period.
He was referred to as a phenomenal genius, a godly chosen in the Lone Cloud City of the past.
All of his records were said to be impossible to surpass.
It was the same for the record he made while cultivating at the Fire Lake.
He left behind a record of having cultivated for 99 days consecutively, surpassing all the proud talents in the course of history, becoming an existence who couldn’t be surpassed.
However, this record was about to be broken.
Finally, one day later.
The indicated time outside the central cultivation chamber was 100 days!
The stone door that had been closed for three months finally opened up slowly amidst creaking sounds.
Zhao Tianyu was very agitated, and he stared with eyes wide-open to look at the person who was coming out.
Regardless if this person was Zhu Zijian or not, he had already surpassed the phenomenal genius Yu Qingyang and would become a top-notch existence that will shake the Lone Cloud City.
Finally, a figure walked out.
Zhao Tianyu bent over unconsciously, cupping his hands together and saying very respectfully, “Paying my respects to Senior…”
