Heavenly rank bloodline, abundant fortune
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Li Meng looked regretful. Li Yiyi’s little face suddenly turned red, and she quickly changed the topic. “Brother, didn’t you go to the Southern Battlefield? Why are you back all of a sudden?”
“Of course, it’s for the competition.”
Li Meng said proudly, “I’m a five heavens master! With this strength, I can at least secure a top three position at the city level and be among the top fifty in the province.”
This semester had just started for the second-year students, and they had only been cultivating for a little over a year. Most of the second-year cultivators were at the three heavens level, with a few at the two and four heavens levels.
Even for a genius like Li Meng, who was at the forefront of the First Rank Martial High, he would normally only be at the late stage or peak of the four heavens.
If it weren’t for Chen Chu’s return earlier, providing some high-level and top-tier resources, he would have needed at least three more months to break through to the five heavens. This was also the source of Li Meng's confidence.
After gaining the relic inheritance and breaking through to the six heavens, Xia Youhui, Lin Xue, and Lin Yu entered the mythical world. He, along with Bai Mu, became the strongest trio in the second-year of the Southern Heaven Martial High.
As for the other second and third rank martial high cultivators in the city, he didn't take them seriously at all.
However, the provincial competition distinguished participants by their cultivation levels, so he would have to face many third-year five heavens seniors. Therefore, Li Meng was only confident about entering the top fifty.
Li Yiyi said excitedly, “Is that the national competition? It just so happens that Ah Hu is participating too. Remember to go easy on him when you meet.”
“Little Hu is participating too?” Li Meng was taken aback.
He had left on the day Chen Hu enrolled, only knowing that Xia Youhui had specifically delayed two days to take him to get familiar with the martial high environment.
As for his sister changing sides, he completely overlooked that; after all, a girl must not stay at home.
Chen Hu scratched the back of his head, showing a simple smile. “Brother Li, I’ve already broken through to the mid-stage of the three heavens. The teacher said I can register for the competition.”
“Damn! Mid-stage of the three heavens?”
Li Meng’s eyes widened in shock, his astonishment comparable to the time when Xia Youhui witnessed Chen Hu establishing a foundation and breaking through to the two heavens in just one day.
Beside them, Shu Jia, who knew Li Meng, happily said, “Brother Li, doesn't Ah Hu have amazing talent? I heard from Yiyi that it took you guys several months to break through to the three heavens back then.”
Li Meng took a moment to calm down and looked at the tall and sturdy boy, somewhat dazed. “Not just amazing; the whole family must be monsters.”
In just half a month to reach mid-stage of the three heavens was a terrifying cultivation speed, even more exaggerated than An Fuqing back in the day. It felt no less than those legendary innate awakened ones.
Or perhaps he was an innate awakened one, just like Chen Chu, but Chen Chu’s talent was latent and only slowly activated after cultivation.
Sensing the heavy aura that seemed to emanate from Chen Hu, Li Meng pondered.
Because Chen Chu had once mentioned the special nature of his physique, combined with that terrifying cultivation speed, Li Meng and his friends were certain that he was indeed an innate awakened one.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Meng cleared his throat and, with an elder's demeanor, said, “But Little Hu, although you’ve broken through to the mid-stage of the three heavens, you must not become complacent.”
“The path of cultivation relies on perseverance. The higher the realm, the slower the progress; initial advantages don’t guarantee a smooth journey ahead, so you must be cautious and avoid impatience.”
