Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 182: You Almost Got Me Killed!

Wei Wuyan was shocked to the point of numbness!

The cultivation level of the white-clothed person was clearly much higher than that of Chu Yang. He had been suppressing his cultivation to fight with Chu Yang, and Wei Wuyan naturally noticed this.

Thus, he was not surprised by how the white-clothed person's cultivation improved.

However, Chu Yang was genuinely a sword emperor fifth rank! Just two hours ago, he was merely a beginner of the sword emperor fifth rank! And now, just two hours later, he had reached the sword emperor sixth rank beginner!

Two hours!

From nothing to something, from the starting point to the end; from a trickling stream to a raging torrent that breaks the dam!

Only two hours!

And it was a breakthrough during battle!

Wei Wuyan stood there dazed. He felt that everything he had learned about martial arts was completely overturned at this moment.

His master had said: There are no shortcuts in martial arts; cultivation depends on accumulation! And all of this requires time.

Wei Wuyan had always believed this deeply, but now he realized: martial arts can indeed be fast-tracked! Cultivation can also be fast-tracked…

Looking at Chu Yang before him, wasn't he a vivid example?

Wei Wuyan recalled that just ten days ago, Chu Yang was still a fourth rank sword emperor.

He felt even more dizzy, and after a while, he groaned, “What the hell... what is going on here…”

After Chu Yang broke through, he was filled with fighting spirit, but the white-clothed person suddenly stepped out of the battle circle and ended the fight, which made him feel an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction, as if he had a breath trapped in his chest that he couldn't release.

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, suppressing the impulse to fight. Only then did he realize that his meridians were filled with vital energy, almost bursting him apart.

Hearing the white-clothed person’s words, Chu Yang knew that today’s battle was over. He took a few deep breaths, finally managing to suppress his excited fighting spirit, and spoke with pride, “Is breaking through a rank in two hours fast? You haven’t seen anything faster!”

The white-clothed person seemed taken aback and replied with a faint smile, “Have you ever been faster?”

Chu Yang chuckled and extended five fingers, saying lightly, “I once broke through five ranks in one hour!” This was the truth, and it was absolutely accurate.

After this period of fighting, if Chu Yang still couldn't figure out who this person was, he would truly be a blockhead. If he couldn't discern the other person's intentions and goals, then he should really just end it all.

This white-clothed person was undoubtedly the one Wei Wuyan had mentioned: the king of the entire Black Blood Jungle, an absolute overlord!

Chu Yang was infinitely certain of this guess: in the entire Black Blood Jungle, only he could wear white! In the entire Black Blood Jungle, only this person could utter a single word that would allow himself and others to pass through unhindered!

Such power and such prestige could only be achieved by this individual.

As for his motives, Chu Yang could guess. Ever since he first entered the Black Blood Jungle and fought in those two battles, he had not taken action again; that night, it was Wei Wuyan who fought.

Moreover, the reason must lie with him. Otherwise, the white-clothed person would seek to battle Wei Wuyan instead of him. Since it revolved around him, it had to be due to those two battles.

The only anomaly in those two battles was that he had easily entered the 'dao realm'!

The fact that such a powerful being was attracted to him, that such a powerful being would make concessions without realizing it, allowing him to pass through unhindered… could only be due to this!

Furthermore, it was precisely because of this that the white-clothed person sought him out to fight repeatedly, always maintaining precise control, forcing him to give it his all while always remaining at a disadvantage…
