Here, Lei Qianjiao couldn't help but sigh.
Even if she truly had to wait this long, she had no choice but to accompany Wu Tian and continue waiting.
After all, this place was hardly a safe haven. If she were to abandon Wu Tian here, it was possible that very serious accidents could occur.
"Sigh," she sighed again as she thought of this, then looked at Wu Tian and said, "I really don't know what's so great about you. You're clearly so annoying, yet why do you have this inexplicable attraction?"
"I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've met someone like you. It's truly baffling."
As she spoke, Lei Qianjiao stood up, intending to go out for some fresh air.
But just then, a teasing voice suddenly echoed in the room, "I have to remind you, I can hear everything you're saying."
Hearing this voice, Lei Qianjiao froze, then cast an incredulous gaze at Wu Tian.
She saw that Wu Tian's eyes were already open, and he was looking at her with a smile.
However, there was also a hint of playfulness in his gaze.
This turn of events caught Lei Qianjiao completely off guard, and her pretty face immediately turned crimson.
She stammered, "Wh-what's going on?"
"Weren't you still cultivating? How did you suddenly open your eyes?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's simple, because the cultivation has ended."
"The power within me has all been absorbed, so there's no longer any need for me to cultivate, right?"
With that, Wu Tian stood up and stretched.
"Ahhh... I haven't stood up for so long. This stretch feels so refreshing."
Lei Qianjiao couldn't help but scrutinize Wu Tian, then asked hesitantly, "Did you really absorb all that energy? How could it be so fast?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Actually, I have you to thank for this. Your immortal energy helped expand my meridians, which is why I could speed up the absorption of energy."
"If it were just me on my own, I would have needed about half a year to absorb this energy. I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly."
"So, what's your strength now?" Lei Qianjiao asked curiously. "After absorbing so much energy, your strength must have advanced by leaps and bounds, right?"
"This, I'll let you feel it." As he said this, Wu Tian extended a finger and placed it on Lei Qianjiao's forehead.
As he channeled his immortal energy, Lei Qianjiao instantly felt a gust of wind rush towards her.
Her long black hair was blown back, and her eyes involuntarily widened.
She flinched back a step, then said in shock, "You... you've already broken through to High-grade Immortal?"
Wu Tian withdrew his hand and smiled, "Isn't that obvious? Besides, I already said before that as long as I could absorb the energy smoothly, breaking through wouldn't be a problem."
"So, this outcome is within my expectations."
Lei Qianjiao felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
After all, when they first entered this place, Wu Tian was merely a Low-grade Immortal.
But now, he had actually reached the level of High-grade Immortal. If this were to spread, even Lei Zhengxuan would be greatly astonished.
Moreover, Wu Tian's strength had always surpassed expectations by a significant margin.
This meant that Wu Tian had now completely surpassed her, hadn't he?
"A High-grade Immortal in his early twenties, isn't that a bit too outrageous?"
After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but say, "Is there any justice left in the world? Your cultivation speed is like cheating!"
"It's so unbalanced, it makes me so unbalanced!"
Wu Tian chuckled and said, "What's so unbalanced about it? You and I are together. Even if I've broken through, it won't pose any threat to you, will it?"
Lei Qianjiao replied, "This isn't about whether it's a threat or not. You're just too monstrous! Now I finally understand Chen Dong's feelings."
"In the face of a genius like you, who wouldn't feel envious?"
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, "What genius? You saw it yourself, it's just good luck. Don't praise me so much, you're making me embarrassed."
Despite what Wu Tian said, Lei Qianjiao wasn't foolish enough to believe it was just luck.
Although Wu Tian had indeed relied on absorbing the spirit core to reach his current level, spirit cores weren't that easy to absorb!
When absorbing spirit cores that were higher than one's own level, there was often immense pressure and danger involved. A slight misstep could lead to utter destruction.
But the fact that Wu Tian could absorb it perfectly was enough to prove that Wu Tian was indeed a monster.
Thinking of this, she felt increasingly unconvinced.
She, Lei Qianjiao, was a favored daughter of heaven in the Sacred Thunder Sect, hailed as the sect's number one genius.
Yet now, in front of Wu Tian, she felt a sense of being overshadowed. How could she possibly accept this?
Therefore, she furrowed her brows and glared at Wu Tian, saying, "Bah! Stop your nonsense. At most, we're on the same starting line now."
"Just you wait and see, I will definitely surpass you very quickly, and I'll leave you far behind!"
Hearing this, Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? Then I eagerly await that day."
"After all, if you can become stronger, it will also be a good thing for me."
Seeing Wu Tian's unexpectedly magnanimous attitude, Lei Qianjiao, in contrast, felt a bit petty and became even more indignant.
While she was sulking, Wu Tian also clenched his fists, carefully sensing the energy within his body.
To be honest, the energy of a High-grade Immortal was indeed incomparable to that of a Mid-grade Immortal.
The abundant immortal energy was now flowing through his meridians, making him feel filled with power, and his breathing exceptionally smooth.
In such a state, if he were to face that ape again, he probably wouldn't be so disheveled, would he?
Thinking of this, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Although this journey in the Thunder God Immortal Realm was not yet over, it had already brought him immense surprises.
After all, before entering, he had never imagined that he would gain such a substantial harvest.
If he continued at this pace, then even reaching the pinnacle of achievement no longer seemed like an unattainable dream!
