307: Gu Chen also broke through

“Wow! Senior Sister Mu is amazing. So many Heavenly Tribulations couldn't harm her; she is truly formidable.”

“Mhm, mhm. We were worried earlier that the Heavenly Tribulation would injure Senior Sister Mu, but it seems that worry was completely unnecessary.”

Seeing Mu Xueqing handle such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation with ease,

Qin Fei'er and Huyan Xiaoyao, holding Feng Xiaoxiao's hands, jumped excitedly on the spot.

Feng Xiaoxiao, whose hand was being held, stared at the sky and muttered with a look of shock, “Is this the true strength of a Personal Disciple?”

After Feng Xiaoxiao finished speaking, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

During the last competition, although the strength displayed by Personal Disciples like Mu Xueqing was formidable, she felt that the gap between herself and Mu Xueqing and the others wasn't too large.

But now, observing the power Mu Xueqing displayed while Undergoing Tribulation for her Transmutation Tribulation, Feng Xiaoxiao feared that even her full-strength attack couldn't break through Mu Xueqing's defenses. The gap had become vast, like the difference between heaven and earth.

Under the shocked gazes of the three girls and the numerous Outer Sect Disciples,

Mu Xueqing deployed Spatial Defense, blocking the streaks of Lightning Dragon Heavenly Tribulation.

When the final eighty-one streaks of Lightning Dragon Heavenly Tribulation completely vanished in the sky, a powerful Quasi-Emperor Aura erupted from Mu Xueqing, spreading across the sky above the entire Time Pagoda.

“Hehe, Senior Sister Mu is already a Quasi-Emperor! Let's go up and congratulate her.” Seeing Mu Xueqing successfully achieve a Breakthrough, Qin Fei'er pulled Huyan Xiaoyao and Feng Xiaoxiao, intending to fly up to Mu Xueqing's side to congratulate her.

However, before they could take flight, another patch of Tribulation Cloud emitting a Quasi-Emperor Aura condensed above the Time Pagoda, waiting for the person Undergoing Tribulation.

“Hiss, someone else is achieving a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor!!”

Seeing another patch of Tribulation Cloud appear above the Time Pagoda, the Qingtian Sect Outer Sect Disciples on the ground let out surprised cries.

Seeing this, Qin Fei'er, Huyan Xiaoyao, and Feng Xiaoxiao quickly stopped their upward momentum and refrained from flying up to congratulate Mu Xueqing.

Now that another Quasi-Emperor Tribulation Cloud had condensed, Mu Xueqing would have to fly down herself, making it unnecessary for them to fly up.

Because if someone stands within another person's Tribulation Cloud, the Heavenly Tribulation will view that person as attempting to help the other Undergo Tribulation, and the power of the Tribulation Cloud will become even more terrifying. Even someone with Mu Xueqing's strength would perish beneath the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, Mu Xueqing wouldn't be foolish enough to linger under someone else's Heavenly Tribulation.

Just as Qin Fei'er and the two others had thought.

Mu Xueqing, who was in the air, saw the Tribulation Cloud above her head and, without any hesitation, quickly retracted her Aura and swiftly descended to Qin Fei'er's side.

Before she could even speak to greet Qin Fei'er and the others, Gu Chen's figure flashed rapidly out of the Time Pagoda and flew beneath the Tribulation Cloud.

“Haha, Junior Sister Mu, your Second Senior Brother is also about to achieve a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor!” Gu Chen's joyful voice rang out in the ears of Mu Xueqing and the girls, as well as the group of Outer Sect Disciples.

“Hiss, it's Senior Brother Gu achieving a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor! Do the Sect Master's Personal Disciples even calculate auspicious days to achieve a Breakthrough together?”

“That's right, they all choose the same day to Break through. Are they afraid the shock we receive isn't big enough, so they want to stimulate us again?”

Seeing that the person Undergoing Tribulation in the sky was Gu Chen, the Outer Sect Disciples on the ground looked depressed.

Mu Xueqing's Undergoing Tribulation had just thoroughly shocked them, and now, right after Mu Xueqing finished her tribulation, Gu Chen's Quasi-Emperor Grand Tribulation followed immediately.

This posture suggested they were preparing to shock them severely once more.

“Senior Brother Gu, just focus on Undergoing Tribulation properly, alright? Don't shout so loudly up there.” Hearing Gu Chen's voice echoing over half of the Qingtian Sect, Mu Xueqing retorted irritably.

“Hehe, Senior Brother Gu also achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor! This trip out for Practical Training will be even more interesting.”

“Mhm, mhm. This time we must get some proper Practical Training. We absolutely can't be like last time, where we directly eliminated all the targets, leaving no place for training.”

Qin Fei'er and Huyan Xiaoyao were not surprised by Gu Chen's Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor; instead, they were happily whispering to each other nearby.

Feng Xiaoxiao, who was being held by the two of them, could only stare blankly at Gu Chen in the sky, preparing to watch the scene of Undergoing Tribulation again.

“Hehe, alright, Junior Sister Mu. I'll come down to find you after your Second Senior Brother finishes Undergoing Tribulation.” Hearing Mu Xueqing's slightly reproachful words, Gu Chen agreed and focused on Undergoing Tribulation.

As the Tribulation Cloud surged in the sky, streaks of Lightning Tribulation struck down toward Gu Chen.

Seeing the Lightning Tribulation strike, Gu Chen did not mock the Heavenly Tribulation like Mu Xueqing had. Instead, he used Grand Void Sword Qi to form a Sword Qi Barrier to resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

Streak after streak of Lightning Tribulation struck Gu Chen's Sword Qi Barrier, causing ripples to spread across it, but they never managed to break through the barrier's defense.

When the final streak of Lightning Tribulation dissipated upon Gu Chen's Sword Qi Barrier, a Quasi-Emperor Aura also emanated from Gu Chen, shaking the small hearts of everyone on the ground.

“Haha, Junior Sister Mu, your Second Senior Brother's Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor wasn't much slower than yours!” As soon as he achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor, Gu Chen laughed loudly and descended to Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er's side.

What he cared about most now was having achieved the Breakthrough later than his Junior Sister Mu Xueqing. Therefore, he had to emphasize that he was only slightly slower than Mu Xueqing to regain some of his dignity as a Senior Brother.

“Mhm, mhm. Senior Brother Gu, of course, I know you were only slightly slower. This is all because of the Time Pagoda, otherwise, Senior Brother would definitely have achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor before me.” Looking at Gu Chen, who desperately wanted Face, Mu Xueqing nodded and replied with a smile.

Since Gu Chen cared about this, she, as his Junior Sister, had to save Gu Chen's Face so he wouldn't feel so awkward.

“Hehe, Junior Sister Mu is sensible after all.” Hearing Mu Xueqing's reply, Gu Chen looked delighted.

Just before the smile on his Face could fully spread, an untimely voice rang out beside them.

“Hmph, if you were slower than your Junior Sister in achieving a Breakthrough, then you were slower. What do you mean 'only slightly slower'? Aren't you ashamed?” Night Owl, with a head of flowing red hair, walked from the direction of the Trial Pagoda toward Gu Chen and his companions, giving Gu Chen a heavy side-eye.

Seeing the Sect Master's Three Great Direct Disciples, along with several Inner Sect Disciples with Eighth-Grade Talent or higher, all gathered at the entrance of the Time Pagoda,

The Outer Sect Disciples who had been watching Mu Xueqing and Gu Chen Undergo Tribulation all hurriedly walked into the Time Pagoda.

With so many Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples gathered at the entrance of the Time Pagoda, it was inappropriate for the Outer Sect Disciples to stand nearby and eavesdrop on their conversation. It was better to go to the Time Pagoda to Cultivate early, lest Night Owl and the others think they were tactless.

Hearing Night Owl point out his sore spot,

Gu Chen looked displeased and retorted to Night Owl, “Junior Sister Mu already said it was because of the Time Pagoda. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute.”

“Oh ho, daring to talk back to your Senior Brother? I think you're asking for a beating.” Hearing Gu Chen implicitly mock him for being nosy, Night Owl condensed Killing Power onto his fist and looked at Gu Chen threateningly.

“You—you only know how to scare people with your fist. I'm not afraid of you.” Sensing the power on Night Owl's fist, Gu Chen stammered out another retort.

Since Mu Xueqing and several other Junior Sisters, including Qin Fei'er, were around, he absolutely couldn't appear too cowardly in front of Night Owl.
