Chapter 857 Retreat

"I'll break through."

Yin Xingtang spoke in a flat tone, without asking Ye Kang any questions, as if she were merely giving a polite greeting.

Ye Kang bowed respectfully, said nothing more, and the two entered their respective caves.

However, after Ye Kang entered the cave, Yin Xingtang stood in front of the cave entrance and clenched her fists slightly.

She has now reached the cultivation level of the Four Luminaries, thanks to a recent fortuitous encounter where she consumed a rare fruit.

He thought he was already the fastest cultivator among the freshmen, but he never expected that Ye Kang would break through to the Five Elements Realm before him.

This guy's talent is truly terrifying.

Fortunately, I am confident that I will be able to break through to the Five Elements in this cultivation, and I will not fall behind him then.

With this confidence, Yin Xingtang also entered the cave.

……

The cave was closed, and the spiritual energy array operated rapidly, with countless streams of pure spiritual energy entering the cave, and everything returned to calm.

And so, seven days passed.

Yin Xingtang walked out of the cave and subconsciously looked in the direction where Ye Kang was.

The cave's protective formation remained tightly closed, showing no sign of them emerging.

"This guy isn't planning to break through to the Six Luminaries level, is he?"

Yin Xingtang stood there for a moment, and a faint aura of the Five Elements emanated from her body.

At such a young age and with such cultivation, she is undoubtedly a genius. Achieving Nirvana is almost a certainty, and returning to the true Dao is her goal.

If that's the case, why care so much about other people?

Having figured this out, Yin Xingtang stopped lingering and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, on a mountaintop opposite, two people were silently watching this side.

Su Hongxiu, hands on her hips, said nonchalantly, "Father, do you really believe he can achieve Nirvana? The Heavenly Dharma Assembly is so important. It's one thing if you don't let your brother go, but Shen Guili's strength is unparalleled in Nirvana. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to leave him out?"

Su Zhongjing smiled slightly: "Gui Li also comes from a prestigious family. Coming to Lingquan County to serve as the Demon Suppression General is just part of his training. Do you really think he would lack a Mitian Token?"

Su Hongxiu was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Well, you knew all along that Shen Guili had his own connections, no wonder you didn't save a spot for him!"

“Gui Li is aiming for the Mi Tian Ranking, while you are going to build connections. Your father used to have some friends, and if you can reconnect with those connections, you'll have a better chance of persuading those important figures.”

"I don't have confidence..."

"It doesn't matter. Whether it succeeds or fails, it's all just my personal wish. If it fails, it's fate. I will naturally go and fulfill this long-cherished wish on my own."

"No way! You old codger, if you were confident, you wouldn't have waited so long. The Eagle King's strength is improving day by day, I won't let you go to your death!"

“Hongxiu, what is death to us martial artists? Father and that eagle are bound to fight sooner or later. Even if we die, it will be a worthwhile life.”

Su Zhongjing sighed softly, his face showing reluctance, but even more so, a sense of composure.

Clearly, he had already resolved to die.

If Ye Kang were present, he would definitely not be able to resist asking the question.

What grudge do you have against that Eagle King?

Of course, Ye Kang is not here, and he will not be here for the next whole month.

Only a few people in the academy knew that this exceptional genius among the new students was currently in seclusion on the back mountain.

For example, this is Yin Xingtang's third time visiting the cave in the back mountain.

She didn't come here to cultivate; she just couldn't resist coming to take a look, as if possessed.

Why isn't that guy coming out yet?

After being in seclusion for so long without any movement, could it be that it has encountered a bottleneck?
