Chapter 407: End of the Trial
“I… I’m not dressed…”
Compared to feeling touched, Victor was more embarrassed now.
Right now, it was not just Lian Hua. Nalan Lengling was also looking at his naked body. Even the group of old men and the great elder were looking at him. Although Victor was very confident in his size, he was afraid that the others would feel inferior.
Turning around, Victor quickly put on a long robe. Only then did the redness on his cheeks fade away.
What followed was the two girls’ incessant questioning.
“Wang Cheng, this is a demon beast comparable to a nascent soul realm cultivator. Are you injured?” Nalan Lengling asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry, I’m not injured.”
“Then what was that aura just now?”
“I’ve entered the core formation realm, and I’m in the intermediate stage of the core formation realm.”
This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Nalan Lengling to freeze on the spot. On the contrary, Lian Hua’s reaction was fairly normal.
After all, she had long known Victor’s cultivation level. Now that he had improved by a small stage, it was not surprising.
“How is this possible? You have just advanced to the spiritual pedestal realm!”
“Although I don’t want to believe it, this is the truth. After I killed the Meat Mountain, I found a piece of Blood Source Ore in its body. Just as I was about to put it away, the Blood Source Ore suddenly released a majestic aura of life and enveloped me. When I woke up again, I was already a core formation realm cultivator.”
Victor explained everything that had happened in the past, but it still could not answer Nalan Lengling’s question.
“What about your intention? If you want to advance to the core formation realm, you have to find your own intention.”
“I’m not sure either. It’s probably because I have always strived to survive, not allowing myself to die. So, by chance, it became my intention. Speaking of which, I broke your sword. But don’t worry, I’ll compensate you.”
Victor shrugged and revealed a smile.
“It doesn’t matter. If it’s broken, then so be it. As long as you’re alive, that’s all that. matters. But, this… you’re really lucky…”
“Next time, don’t try to be brave. I’ll always stay by your side.”
Lian Hua held Victor’s hand, her eyes full of affection.
“Alright… got it.”
“Hurry up and go back. Everyone’s worried about you.”
“Okay, let’s go back.”
This trip to the secret realm had provided Victor the greatest aid. It was probably because he had advanced to the intermediate stage of the core formation realm. Moreover, he no longer needed to hide his cultivation. Although it would arouse the suspicion of others, Victor knew that his story… did not have any loopholes.
“Wang Cheng…”
For no reason, Nalan Lengling stopped walking.
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
“Nothing… nothing.”
Nalan Lengling smiled, but she secretly let go of Victor’s hand.
Seeing this scene, Victor seemed to be deep in thought, but in the end, he did not speak.
Not long after, Victor and the other two finally met up with the main force of the Fire Sect. Seeing that Victor was unharmed and that his aura was even stronger, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wang Cheng, I can’t thank you enough for saving my life.”
“Wang Cheng, you’ve saved me twice. I’ll definitely thank you again in the future.”
“What are you talking about? We’re all fellow disciples. These aren’t worth mentioning.”
Victor chuckled and waved his hand.
Surprisingly, Wang Hongyu, who had been silent for a long time, also walked up to Victor.
“If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I would have lost my life. Wang Cheng, thank… Thank you…”
“Hehe, so you do know how to be grateful. Forget it, I’m a disciple of the Fire Sect after all. Saving you was only out of consideration.”
“No matter what, thank you…”
As he spoke, Wang Hongyu untied the Rose Sword at his waist and stuffed it into Victor’s arms.
As a core formation realm cultivator, Wang Hongyu could naturally sense Victor’s changes. Although he did not know what kind of opportunity Victor had encountered, but when he was only at the spiritual pedestal realm, he was already no match for Victor. And since the latter had already formed his core… This Rose Sword naturally needed a change of owner.
Victor was slightly surprised when he received the Rose Sword, but he turned around and gave it to Nalan Lengling.
“I promised to compensate you with a sword, and now I have one.”
“Hmm…”
Nalan Lengling nodded and took the Rose Sword without saying anything.
This made Victor feel a little strange.
Logically speaking, even if Nalan Lengling was not that happy after surviving a disaster, she should not have revealed such an expression.
‘Could it be that she knows something?’
Victor buried this question in his heart.
For the next two days, Victor led everyone to have a rest and showed off his skills in barbecuing meat. Even Wang Hongyu had the nerve to come over and eat. Naturally, there was no need to describe how delicious it was.
However, the problem was that Nalan Lengling was unhappy. When Victor spoke to her, she rarely responded. It was as if they had returned to the scene when they first met.
Lian Hua even noticed this and sent a voice transmission to Victor to ask for the reason.
Unfortunately, Victor did not know either.
Just like that, two days passed and they were about to start exiting the secret realm.
They gathered at the exit. Lu Peng and Han Feng both noticed Victor’s change and their expressions became even more unsightly.
With this, they would never be able to stand out when compared to Victor again.
As the door opened, Victor led everyone out of the secret realm and finally returned to the familiar environment. Everyone was in a good mood.
“Master, we didn’t fail you.”
Victor threw the bag of the Blood Source Ore to the great elder. As expected, he won the championship.
However, Victor refused to take 20% from the other two sects’ Blood Source Ores.
After all, it would make it easier for them to have a good relationship in the future.
Although Victor’s current identity was Wang Cheng, he would eventually leave. Then, his pretending to be Wang Cheng and sneaking into the Fire Sect would sooner or later be exposed. No matter how the two sects treated Victor in the future, at the very least, Victor’s attitude was evident.
“Wang Cheng, you did well.”
The great elder’s wrinkled face was full of smiles. He patted Victor’s shoulder and praised, “You’ve entered the core formation realm. This opportunity came at the right time.”
“I was just lucky.”
“No, it wasn’t just luck. If you hadn’t killed Meat Mountain, this opportunity wouldn’t have fallen upon you. Therefore, you deserve this. Being humble is a good thing, but not now.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m so amazing. I killed the Meat Mountain by myself and then refined its life essence. I entered the core formation realm in one day. I’m a genius among geniuses!”
“This…”
Looking at Victor’s appearance, the great elder slowly put down his hand…
“No… I can’t hit my disciples in public. Moreover, I taught him this…”
The great elder sighed and pinched his brows. He said without any desire, “Alright, go and organize the disciples to refine the Blood Source Ore. Also, ask Wang Hongyu to come and find me.”
“Yes, understood.”
Victor turned around and returned to the crowd.
“Count me out for the refinement of the Blood Source Ore. Also, Wang Hongyu, my master asked you to go meet him.”
