Chapter 1575 Going Out
Chen Xuan glanced at Gu Hong. "These people have fainted. You can clean them up yourself. They won't know it was you anyway."
"Yes...!"
Gu Hong nodded and hurried over.
The Gu family members who were waiting would surely face hell.
Chen Xuan looked at the scruffy Taoist. "I haven't broken through yet, I still have some time. I'm going to break through."
The scruffy Taoist waved his hand.
Chen Xuan sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to absorb the energy of the spiritual pool.
Terrifying energy converged towards Chen Xuan, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. The flow of energy was even visible to the naked eye.
"Mr. Chen, when can you break through?"
Gu Hong couldn't help but ask, looking at Chen Xuan's increasingly powerful aura.
"It should be soon,"
The scruffy Taoist said nonchalantly.
"What realm is Mr. Chen breaking through to? How can the pressure be so great? Even a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor realm isn't this powerful, is it?" Gu Hong frowned.
She had also had the good fortune to witness a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor realm, but the pressure had not been this terrifying.
"Heh heh..." The scruffy Taoist said nothing.
He thought to himself, the mere Martial Emperor realm, what was that?
After an unknown amount of time, a terrifying pressure descended, blanketing the entire First District!
Other cultivators in the First District immediately spat blood.
"What's going on?"
"Heavens, why is there such terrifying pressure?"
They looked around, their faces filled with shock and terror.
"Have you broken through?" Gu Hong asked.
"Yes," the scruffy Taoist nodded.
A moment later, Chen Xuan stood up, his eyes filled with unspeakable joy. "I've finally broken through!"
For Chen Xuan, this trip to the spiritual pool was a great gain.
As for the so-called tempering of his physique, the effects were not yet visible; the impact was subtle.
He leaped up, his figure turning into an afterimage, and in an instant, he was on the beach.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Mr. Chen!" Gu Hong said with a smile.
"Thank you," Chen Xuan nodded.
The scruffy Taoist stood up. "It's about time, we should be returning!"
A moment later, Elder Xiao Ming announced that the spiritual pool bathing was over and that they must return within half an hour or face an attack from the spiritual pool.
Chen Xuan, the scruffy Taoist, and Gu Hong also left the spiritual pool.
When they left the ancient pool, they saw many people waiting for their return. These were the parents and other relatives of the Gu family disciples, all here to see how their children had cultivated.
"Good son, well done! You've broken through two minor realms! Your physique has also improved significantly. You'll definitely be stronger than your old man in the future!"
"Hahaha, my precious daughter, you didn't go in vain this time."
Most people were filled with joy.
However, there were also those who were worried. For example, those who had been knocked unconscious by Chen Xuan and his group had not had time to cultivate at all. Their realms had not improved at all, and they were still bruised and swollen.
When they saw Chen Xuan, their eyes were filled with intense resentment.
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Damn, these guys won't try to deal with me outside, will they?"
The scruffy Taoist said calmly, "Don't be afraid. People from these families value their reputation. Moreover, they are in competition with each other. They will endure hardship and keep quiet. They are afraid of others knowing about this matter and being ridiculed. After all, being subdued by a mere attendant is not a glorious thing."
"Really?"
Sure enough, he saw Gu Yongqiang and others. When faced with their families' questions, they merely cast resentful glances at Chen Xuan but said nothing, which made Chen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Chen Xuan!"
Suddenly, a shout rang out.
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw Gu Lingyun leading people to greet him. Not only Gu Lingyun but also Gu Yulong had come, which was quite unexpected.
"I'll leave first!"
He glanced at the scruffy Taoist, then strode over. "Here."
"I thought you would have been beaten up by Gu Tianxing and the others. It seems you're unharmed."
Gu Lingyun sized Chen Xuan up.
"Him alone?"
Chen Xuan shrugged.
"That's true."
Gu Lingyun thought about it and felt it was true. Chen Xuan could even defeat Gu Yulong, let alone the mere Gu Tianxing.
Gu Yulong looked at Chen Xuan, her expression unnatural. She forced a smile and said, "It seems you've gained a lot this time."
Seeing Chen Xuan reminded Gu Yulong of the embarrassing moment during their duel.
She wanted to hate Chen Xuan, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. It was a strange feeling.
"It's alright,"
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
Suddenly, a roar sounded. "Where is my brother? Has anyone seen my brother?"
The speaker was none other than Gu Tianlang.
He looked around, but couldn't find Gu Tianxing, so he turned to Gu Yongqiang and asked.
Gu Tianlang had a commanding presence. Gu Yongqiang immediately looked respectful upon hearing this. "Brother Tianlang, Gu Tianxing and I were not in the same district, and I didn't see him. I think Gu Tianxing is at a critical moment of breaking through, and he'll come later."
"Could he be breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm? If he breaks through to the Martial Emperor realm, that would be great!"
Gu Tianlang's heart suddenly stirred.
He knew that Gu Tianxing entered the spiritual pool at this time precisely to seize this opportunity to enter the Martial Emperor realm.
With this thought, he looked towards the exit with even greater anticipation.
"If that Gu Tianxing also reaches the Martial Emperor realm, it will be troublesome," Gu Yulong said worriedly.
Gu Lingyun also showed a solemn expression.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Don't worry, he won't make it."
"How do you know?"
Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun both looked at Chen Xuan simultaneously.
Chen Xuan smiled and said nothing.
He had fought with Gu Tianxing before, so he knew.
"Stop being so mysterious," Gu Lingyun said.
Just then, a loud cry suddenly rang out. "Brother, why do you look like this?"
Gu Lingyun was stunned and quickly turned his head, his expression becoming extremely interesting.
Gu Tianlang shouted as he looked at Gu Tianxing, who had just walked out of the spiritual pool.
Gu Tianxing looked miserable, his clothes tattered, and his face swollen like a pig's head. He didn't look like someone who had been cultivating, but rather like someone who had been begging for food. Moreover, his cultivation had not improved at all.
Gu Tianxing's companions were not much better.
The people around them looked at the scene and showed amused smiles.
"I..."
Gu Tianxing cast a resentful glance at Chen Xuan and then closed his mouth. It was too embarrassing.
Gu Tianlang looked over in this direction, seeming to understand. "Tianxing, let's go, we'll talk about it back home."
"You guys just wait for me!"
As he passed Gu Lingyun's side, Gu Tianlang said coldly.
Gu Tianlang took Gu Tianxing away. Gu Lingyun and Gu Yulong both looked at Chen Xuan, their eyes filled with a strange expression.
"Let's go too."
Chen Xuan walked out with his hands behind his back, swaggering.
Gu Lingyun and Gu Yulong exchanged glances and quickly followed.
Gu Lingyun pressed, "Damn, it couldn't be you, could it?"
"More or less," Chen Xuan said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyun became excited. "Chen Xuan, although you've messed up many of my plans, you've done a great job this time! I'll treat you to a meal later!"
Chen Xuan shrugged. "It's a small matter. I didn't come here for nothing anyway."
