Chapter 130: Breakthrough as a Martial Artist
Chen Yutong and Cheng Ziang exchanged glances, and the little knot in their hearts quietly dissipated. From each other's eyes, they saw a gleam called "fervent admiration"!
Chu Imperial Seat is our Iron Cloud's first martyr! Working under such an imperial seat, one would die with happiness!
Only Wu Qianqian looked a bit doubtful.
Chu Yang's performance today was commendable; if Wu Qianqian hadn't known him before, she might have believed him without a doubt. But now, she was filled with confusion.
Chu Yang... how could he be such a person? So noble and righteous? So devoted to the country and the people? It doesn't seem quite right...
In the Crown Prince's Residence, Tie Butian furrowed his brows tightly, and a shadow stood silently in front of him.
“Chu Imperial Seat... Haha, what a good Chu Imperial Seat.” Tie Butian's brows curved, and he chuckled softly, saying, “The reasons that Chu Imperial Seat mentioned are not truly the reasons...”
After listening to the shadow's reply, he had been pondering for a long time.
The shadow, who was not fond of speaking, was forced by Tie Butian to recount the scene at that time, nearly driving him to madness...
After a long time of contemplation, Tie Butian finally reached a conclusion, sighing, “If what Chu Imperial Seat said were his true feelings... how wonderful that would be. It's just a shame... such a pity...”
It wasn't that reaching a conclusion was too difficult, but Tie Butian had always held onto that hope. Yet, Chu Yang's words of loyalty and righteousness had made Tie Butian lose that luxury of expectation...
Chu Yang stood up, stretched his body, and heard a series of crackling sounds from his joints. Opening his eyes, two beams of light shot out.
Finally broke through!
Now, he was already a first-grade martial artist!
A first-grade martial artist is nothing to boast about in this world. In the lower three heavens, many sects have their backbone made up of martial artists, and most are advanced martial masters of the fifth and sixth tier; for the super families of the middle and upper three heavens, a first-grade martial artist is even less impressive! The bottom-tier forces within families can achieve this level.
Typically, martial artists are not sent out on tasks; going out is just courting death. Even a ninth-grade martial artist must practice diligently at home.
Considering Chu Yang's age, he was born in the twelfth month; in just a few months, he would turn seventeen. At this age, direct descendants of prominent families have generally reached the third or fourth tier of martial masters, and super geniuses like Gu Duxing have long stepped into the ranks of the martial sect!
It's nothing to be proud of!
However, all of this overlooked one point: the training conditions for those geniuses are far beyond what Chu Yang can compare to!
Although the treasury of the lower three heavens is rich, its resources do not compare to those of families in the middle three heavens.
The density of spiritual energy in the middle three heavens is much higher than in the lower three heavens; only in places with dense spiritual energy can rare and precious treasures grow. The geniuses of the middle three heavens basically grow up eating those treasures!
Chu Yang has hardly ever consumed those rare and precious treasures. Additionally, those geniuses have started cultivating since childhood, building their foundation and gradually improving; a martial sect at twenty, combined with innate foundation-building while in the womb, amounts to twenty-one years of cultivation!
And Chu Yang’s previous foundation was appallingly weak, having been reborn, he has only been back for less than half a year!
In half a year, he has risen from a third-tier warrior to a first-grade martial artist! A leap of eight ranks!
Though such a low-level rank may not be very difficult for a young man with decent aptitude, such speed is simply unprecedented! From ancient times to the present, there has never been a case!
