Chapter 169 Everyone’s Breakthrough
Regarding the dangers, Chu Yunfan casually glanced over it. Since it was over, there was no need to say anything more.
However, the other two were not children. They had also experienced the monster swarm. If they had not hidden in a tall building, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It was not difficult for them to imagine how Chu Yunfan had used the monster swarm to escape.
Needless to say, that kind of danger did not need to be mentioned. Even an Energy Refinement Stage expert would die if they encountered such a swarm. Even an Acquired Stage expert would have no other choice but to run away.
However, Chu Yunfan had passed through the monster swarm. It definitely would have been extremely dangerous. And this was because he had wanted to cover them. How could they not be appalled at what happened?! If they had not seen Chu Yunfan standing there perfectly fine, they would probably feel extremely guilty.
Fortunately, Chu Yunfan was not badly hurt!
To Chu Yunfan, what happened was not a big deal. This matter had started because of him. Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi had been dragged into this because of him. He could not just sit by and watch the two of them get into trouble.
Then, he told them about his ambush on Zuo Wenbin, but he hid the matter about his Mountain River Diagram. He was prepared to bring this secret to the grave. He would tell no one. It would remain the deepest secret in his heart, and also his biggest trump card.
“Good, well done. That’s the way to trick him. Hahaha, let that old guy gloat!” Gao Hongzhi clapped his hands and laughed loudly. Previously, he had been forced by Zuo Wenbin to flee. He even had to ask Chu Yunfan to stay behind to hold off the mercenaries. He had been holding back his anger for a long time and could not help but release it.
Tang Siyu’s eyes also lit up. Chu Yunfan’s arrow was too beautiful. Although it did not kill Zuo Wenbin, it forced him to reveal a flaw. In the end, the Threetail Silver Fox was severely injured by a single shot.
“We got our revenge!” Gao Hongzhi said with a laugh. “Revenge? This is nothing,” Chu Yunfan said, “If they want to kill me, they won’t give up just because of one or two failures. If we want to put an end to this, the only way is to counterattack and eliminate them once and for all. This is the only way to prevent future troubles.
“Since they can do such a thing, why can’t I?”
Chu Yunfan’s expression turned icy cold.
“All right, we’ll think of a way to kill them. D*mn it, the young master almost died. This feud is going to explode. This matter isn’t over,” Gao Hongzhi said, “But what do you plan to do? If we fight them head-on, I’m afraid we won’t be able to beat them!”
“There’s no need to fight them head-on. We’ll poison them,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently, “I know a bit of alchemy,”
Gao Hongzhi saw that Chu Yunfan looked confident and immediately said, “Then there won’t be any problems. If we don’t kill them, I won’t be able to sleep and eat in peace!”
Tang Siyu’s eyes could not help but light up when she heard this. She looked at Chu Yunfan because Gao Hongzhi did not know. She knew that although every alchemist had the potential to become a poison master, not all of them were. Only an extremely powerful alchemist who was very familiar with medicinal properties would be able to understand everything by analogy.
However, she did not say anything. She knew that Chu Yunfan had many secrets, but she did not want to get too involved. She was not that curious. As long as Chu Yunfan treated her well, that would be enough.
“However, we can’t do it immediately. We have to go back first and buy some medicinal herbs to concoct some poison. On top of that, we have to find their location. It might take some time. But more importantly, we’re here to train ourselves over this winter vacation. If we delay because of them, then it’ll not be worth it. When the time comes, it’ll be best if we can find them. Even if we can’t, we can’t delay training ourselves because of this,” Chu Yunfan said, “There’s still a long way to go. Remember, if you persevere, there’s always hope. There’ll be plenty of opportunities!” Chu Yunfan said.
“You’re right. It’s not worth it for these animals!”
Gao Hongzhi thought about it. It made sense. Although he could vent his anger, his development would also be delayed. Every day before the college entrance exam was precious. It was not worth wasting it here. “Hey, you both broke through?” Chu Yunfan asked as he looked at the other two.
“Hehe, yes. We both broke through. We were already one step away from breaking through a few days ago. This is what it feels like to be at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Stage.” Gao Hongzhi said proudly as he waved his spear, “How about it, Yunfan? I should have entered the sixth level earlier than you this time,
right?”
Chu Yunfan smiled slightly. Before he could say anything, Tang Siyu opened her mouth and said, “You wish. He’s already at the seventh level. I can sense it.”
“What? How is that possible? You monster! You cheated, didn’t you? You must have cheated!” Gao Hong’s proud smile slid off his face. It was followed by an outcry and wailing. He could accept the fact that Chu Yunfan had already surpassed the sixth level of the Qi Sea Stage. After all, Chu Yunfan had just been at the fifth level before. It had only been a few days since they last met, and Chu Yunfan had taken another step forward and reached the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage.
Ever since Chu Yunfan had come up to par with his combat strength, being even just one level stronger than Chu Yunfan had become the only source of comfort in his heart. Now, even this had disappeared. He had become the one with the lowest cultivation realm and the lowest combat strength among the three of them. “Yeah, I cheated. Are you jealous? Hahaha!” Chu Yunfan could not help but laugh out loud when he saw Gao Hongzhi’s sad face.
Then, he looked at Tang Siyu. Tang Siyu had also broken through and reached the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage. She was now on par with Ou Yang who was originally the school’s number one.
Before this semester, Tang Siyu and Ou Yang were at least four or five levels apart. But now, in one semester, they were on par. Tang Siyu’s talent and strength were unimaginable. If she had not covered up her sharp edge, she would have been the focus of the entire school. The reason why she was not so eye-catching was not that she had not achieved great feats, but because Chu Yunfan’s improvement this semester had overshadowed hers.
Seeing Chu Yunfan and Gao Hongzhi mess around, Tang Siyu smiled. The sun was shining brightly, making the room feel like a room full of spring flowers blooming. The worries in her heart seemed to have dissipated.
Sometimes, loneliness was not the only thing on the road of life. One could have the company of others.
