138: Is he too talented, or too untalented?

"Principal, if this kid continues like this..."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Shanhe chose to speak up.

Although he couldn't stand Wu Xuangu's behavior, disliking it was one thing; watching the kid die right in front of him was another, and Zhao Shanhe couldn't bear to see that.

By comparison, Wang Ting appeared very calm, speaking lightly: "Alright, there's no need to worry so much. If something really goes wrong, that guy Li Xiangui will cover for him anyway."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhe was slightly taken aback, but soon realized it was true.

Wang Ting was indeed right.

After all, Wu Xuangu was Li Xiangui's nephew.

If something really happened to him, Li Xiangui would absolutely not stand idly by.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but feel much more at ease.

Just then, Li Xiangui appeared behind Wu Xuangu with a gloomy expression.

He reached out, placed his hand on Wu Xuangu's shoulder, and began to actively help the latter channel the violent energy within his body.

"Are you crazy? Who told you to absorb energy like this?!"

Although Li Xiangui had deliberately lowered his voice, there was still a hint of anger in his tone.

At this moment, Wu Xuangu also realized just how dangerous what he was doing was, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

However, even in this situation, he was still unwilling to admit defeat easily, gritting his teeth as he said: "I'm not convinced!"

"Why is that guy's energy absorption speed so fast?"

"With his talent, it's impossible for him to do that. He must have done something underhanded!"

Upon hearing this, the anger in Li Xiangui's eyes grew even more intense: "You idiot, I gave you the 'haina pill' to help you improve your strength, not for you to compare yourself with others!"

"If you want to keep being stupid, I won't stop you. Just don't come looking for me when you explode and die!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuangu finally realized that his uncle was truly angry this time.

He lowered his head, not daring to argue even half a word.

Just then, Li Xiangui let out another cold snort: "Also... haven't you noticed?"

Wu Xuangu raised his head, his eyes full of confusion; clearly, he didn't realize what Li Xiangui was talking about.

Li Xiangui sneered: "That kid Lin Yuan, although he has indeed absorbed quite a bit of energy, haven't you noticed that his strength hasn't changed at all?"

After he said this, Wu Xuangu's gaze subconsciously turned towards the direction where Lin Yuan was, and a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

He had been focusing on Lin Yuan's terrifying absorption speed, but had ignored the latter's changes in strength.

After being reminded by Li Xiangui, Wu Xuangu suddenly realized it.

Compared to before, the aura radiating from Lin Yuan seemed indeed not to have changed in the slightest, nor was there any sign of an imminent Breakthrough.

The energy he absorbed into his body was just like a stone cast into the sea, leaving no trace behind.

Why on earth was this?

Wu Xuangu thought for a moment and quickly had a guess.

If nothing else, it should be that Lin Yuan's own talent was too poor.

It was precisely because of this that such a situation occurred.

No matter how much energy he absorbed, he couldn't convert it into his own strength!

Thinking of this, Wu Xuangu felt much more balanced.

Even if this guy's absorption speed was fast, so what?

Only increasing strength was the true path!

After all, the purpose of absorbing energy was, in the end, to improve one's own strength!

When Wu Xuangu looked at Lin Yuan again, his eyes already held a trace of disdain.

This guy, having absorbed so much Beast Emperor Rank energy, still hadn't improved his strength at all; it was truly a waste of natural resources!

Just then, Li Xiangui spoke up again: "Alright, since your mental knot has been untied, there's no need to keep your attention on this guy."

"Remember, on the path of Cultivation, your true opponent will always be yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuangu immediately nodded and said in a deep voice: "Uncle is right to lecture me."

Afterwards, Wu Xuangu calmed his mind again and began to absorb the surrounding energy step by step.

And all of this was completely unknown to Lin Yuan, who was concentrating on his Cultivation.

Honestly, even if he knew, he couldn't be bothered to care.

You have to know, for him, this was a great opportunity for Cultivation, with a large amount of evolution points coming in every minute and every second.

Under these circumstances, how could Lin Yuan possibly waste his time on a clown like Wu Xuangu?

Moreover, the reason his strength hadn't significantly improved was that all the Beast Emperor Rank energy Lin Yuan absorbed into his body was converted into evolution points.

From the time he started absorbing Beast Emperor Rank energy until now, Lin Yuan had already gained nearly three million evolution points!

If he were to use all these evolution points to strengthen himself, his strength would definitely achieve a qualitative leap!

And without using the evolution points to improve his strength, his strength naturally wouldn't have any significant improvement.

...

As time passed minute by minute, more and more people in the medicinal bath pool achieved a Breakthrough in their current Realm!

The one who achieved a Breakthrough after Wu Xuangu was none other than Chu Tianyi.

The pitch-black Beast Emperor Rank energy swirled around him like a raging black Dragon!

Clearly, the Beast Emperor Rank energy within the 'Nirvana Shadow Crocodile' crystal core was more compatible with Chu Tianyi!

As the pitch-black Beast Emperor Rank energy gradually calmed down, Chu Tianyi's current Realm also broke through to a brand new level.

However, after the Breakthrough, Chu Tianyi's expression remained completely unchanged; he didn't even open his eyes and continued his Cultivation, as if this were just a trivial matter to him.

Watching this scene, a look of approval couldn't help but flash across the eyes of Wang Ting and Zhao Shanhe.

It must be said that Chu Tianyi's Heart-Nature was far superior to Wu Xuangu's.

Neither arrogant nor rash; this was the Heart-Nature a top Prodigy should have.

Following Chu Tianyi's Breakthrough, more and more people broke through their own Realms.

Song Lan, King Scale Tiger, Shen Cang, Li Qingnan...

Even Wang Jinze, who had the worst talent, managed to break through!

Looking at the scene before him, a look of anxiety couldn't help but appear in Zhao Shanhe's eyes.

Because, until now, Lin Yuan still hadn't made any movement, nor was there the slightest sign of a Breakthrough.
