Chapter 7 - Breakthrough

"I don't care about it at all. But… Brother Chen, I feel like Gu Liang has become a different person. Even his aura has become very strange." Ye Fan showed a bad face; he remembered how he launched his attack on Gu Liang.

Ye Fan originally thought Gu Liang was trash, but he didn't expect him to survive his attack.

Ye Fan knew he was an expert at the 4th layer of the Mortal Building, and he also knew a weak cultivator couldn't survive his attack.

But Gu Liang was different; he could survive Ye Fan's full attack in his unarmed state.

Ye Fan now showed a nervous face; he hoped that what he thought was wrong.

Chen Xuan now showed a serious face; he knew Ye Fan's expression did not show a lie.

Chen Xuan now closed his eyes slightly; he chose to turn to Bai Tianzhi and Xu Feng.

"What should we do? Are we going to help him? He is also our friend."

Bai Tianzhi didn't show any reaction at first, but he saw Chen Xuan's expression show a serious face.

Bai Tianzhi shook his head; he knew he couldn't ignore Chen Xuan's words.

Bai Tianzhi turned to Xu Feng, and he saw that he was now showing a nod.

"Brother Ye, I think you'd better quickly increase your strength. In another 3 days, you and that trash will fight. We hope you can win against him." Bai Tianzhi now gave some pills to Ye Fan; he knew they were pills that could help one reach the next level.

Bai Tianzhi remembered how, for someone to reach the 5th layer of the Mortal Building realm, he knew they should be able to improve the foundation in their body.

Ye Fan was a cultivator with the 4th layer of the Mortal Building stage; he could be said to be very weak in his foundation.

When a cultivator reached the level of the 1st and 3rd layers of the Mortal Building stage, the body in the person's dantian was indispensable for absorbing the energy of the heavens and the earth.

If that person could advance to the 4th layer of the Mortal Building, their body would be tempered to the point of surpassing that of an ordinary human.

In ordinary human life, they considered cultivators in the 4th and 6th layers of the Mortal Building stage to be the strongest humans.

The humans thought that when a cultivator reached the 6th layer of the Mortal Building, their strength was no different from a punch with 10 tons of force.

The cultivators in the 6th layer of the Mortal Building stage could destroy a cliff in one blow, which seemed to show their extraordinary strength.

If one were to ask what about the 7th and 9th layers of the Mortal Building stage, they could soar in the sky with their own spiritual weapons.

Of course, the experts in the 7th layer of the Mortal Building stage could easily defeat cultivators below, which showed they were the strongest.

But still, not all ordinary people could reach the level of the 7th layer of the Mortal Building stage; they had to take a test to enter a sect.

Examples were Bai Tianzhi and Xu Feng; they were among the disciples selected by some top-class sects.

Bai Tianzhi and Xu Feng were both outstanding youths, but their talent was far inferior to Chen Xuan's.

Chen Xuan was the only disciple who could be accepted into the sect, like the Heavenly Immortal Sect; he was the only disciple in the Qing province who was selected.

The ordinary humans consider someone like Chen Xuan to be the next candidate for immortality.

The entire Chen Xuan's family had gained their glory; it could be seen that they had the support of China itself.

In China, they consider young people like Chen Xuan to be pillars of humanity.

"This... are you serious?! This is a very expensive pill! Even with all the resources I have, there's no way I can buy it with my pocket money!" Ye Fan couldn't hold back his shocked expression; he knew the pill bottle in front of him was one of the rare pills.

Ye Fan swallowed his saliva; he now chose to turn to Bai Tianzhi.

"Sigh... I actually didn't want it. But since Brother Chen also asked me to, of course..." Bai Tianzhi couldn't help showing his gloomy face; he remembered how he had saved up his money to buy that bottle of pills.

Bai Tianzhi turned to Xu Feng, hoping he could show Ye Fan his favor.

Xu Feng didn't say a word; he chose to take out an artifact from his handkerchief for Ye Fan.

"Brother Ye, you should also receive a gift from me. This is an artifact that can give you an increase in your punching power."

Ye Fan didn't say a word; he was happy to see his two friends choose to give him such a rare item.

Ye Fan turned to Chen Xuan, hoping he could also give him some rare items.

Chen Xuan was now calm; he knew it was impossible for him to avoid the gazes of his three friends.

"Alright. Ye Fan, I hope you can destroy that trash's dantian. We really want you to make him suffer."

Ye Fan now showed a nod; he looked as if he considered Chen Xuan's order to be absolute.

Chen Xuan now threw a blade to Ye Fan; he knew it was an Spirit rank artifact.

"This...! Thank you! I really owe it to the three of you! I promise I won't disappoint you!"

Bai Tianzhi sighed. He was happy to see that he could satisfy Chen Xuan's wishes.

Bai Tianzhi remembered that Chen Xuan was the strongest; he hoped he would not lose support from him.

"Excuse me. Brother Ye, we hope you can defeat Gu Liang in the next 3 days. We will wait for news from you." Chen Xuan, Bai Tianzhi, and Xu Feng walked away from their place; it seemed that they were unhesitatingly floating towards the side of the cloudy sky.

Ye Fan couldn't help but look amazed. He knew the cultivators in the 7th layer of the Mortal Building stage could soar through the sky on their spiritual swords.

Ye Fan now clenched his fists; he hoped he could immediately have a fight with Gu Liang.

"Hehehe... Gu Liang, oh Gu Liang... you are so pitiful. I will make you regret it in the next 3 days."

2 days passed, Gu Liang now showed a calm face—he was now in his meditative state.

Gu Liang remembered how he had cleared the weeds in his yard; he knew it was now showing its greenery.

Gu Liang showed no reaction; he looked as if he was preparing to make his breakthrough.

The flesh and blood in Gu Liang's body changed; it looked as if it was preparing to undergo tempering.

As time passed, Gu Liang felt the muscles in his body develop, and a terrifying aura could be seen coming out of his body.

For a moment, when Gu Liang opened his eyes, he saw a strong wind sweeping through the inner courtyard of his residence.

Gu Liang sighed; he was happy considering that he managed to achieve a breakthrough of the 4th layer of the Mortal Building stage.
