"Did you not notice there's someone named Sen Lei up there?" Su Xin questioned.Elder Qingfeng's face also showed a hint of displeasure.In the audience below, one of the Senluo sect disciples behind Feng Jingsheng shouted, "Yes, there's another person still in there!""So what if there is? He's been wandering in the first level for ages, then stopped in the second level. Who knows if he's run out of strength and died in there?" a small man from Feng Country sneered again."You!""What about me? I've advanced!" The little man's eyebrows seemed to dance with pride.Feng Wuya hurriedly explained, "Palace Lord, Elder, this Sen Lei took an excessively long time on the Star Path, so I concluded that his strength probably isn't enough to reach higher levels."Qingfeng nodded slightly as he listened to the explanation. After all, he knew that Sen Lei's spiritual roots had been lost. Even with the help of stimulants, such rapid growth in a short time was impossible.Su Xin chuckled coldly, "Oh, so now you're setting time limits on the Star Path?"Feng Wuya began to sweat profusely. Qingfeng, flicking his whisk, remarked, "Yaar, your considerations aren't unfounded. Let's just wait a bit longer. Don't make it hard on Yaar."Su Xin let out a cold snort. At the same time, two more figures appeared on the stage: a middle-aged man in a purple robe and another in a green robe."My, my, why is the atmosphere so tense?" The green-robed elder rubbed his hands together and sat down in an adjacent seat."Xiao Tian, you're here to bother me. Go sit over there!" Su Xin snapped."Oh, you see, your temper hasn't changed a bit. No wonder—" The green-robed man, named Xiao Tian, was about to share some gossip."Get lost!" Su Xin threw a teacup at him."Alright, alright, I won't say anything... Don't get mad." Xiao Tian chuckled.Then Xiao Tian sighed, "Come on, Cheng Hou, looks like we're destined to be disliked. Let's just sit down and watch."The old man in the purple robe smirked, "You're the one being disliked; don't drag me into it!""Oh."The crowd below was a bit confused. What on earth, four out of the five palace lords had shown up! All four elders from the Rade Academy were here!Elder One, Palace Lord of Xuanyao Palace, Qingfeng.Elder Two, Palace Lord of Dahuo Palace, Su Xin.Elder Three, Palace Lord of Xingji Palace, Xiao Tian.Elder Four, Palace Lord of Jianglou Palace, Cheng Hou.Only the Palace Lord of Ximu Palace, Qingfeng's daughter Qingshui, who was also the sixth elder of the Rade Academy, was absent.In the audience, Feng Jingsheng clenched her small hands and whispered softly, "Come on, you can do it!"Feng Jingsheng was aware of Sen Lei's strength. She wasn't sure what was happening inside, but she was certain that Sen Lei wouldn't have stopped because he couldn't proceed.Su Qianyi was also a bit anxious. "You should be more than capable, right?"Outside, the discussions were a mix of concern, mockery, and casual indifference. But inside the second level, Sen Lei was "enjoying a leisurely swim" among the stars, utterly content."It's time to break through to the next level. The feeling of spiritual power infusion is incredible! Let's do it again!"With that, Sen Lei wielded the Ink Bamboo and slashed at the barrier to the next level."Bang!"Sen Lei once again found himself in a dark void. This time, what appeared..."Damn, I knew it!""Blazing Grakkar!"Sen Lei looked at the fire spirit queen in her revealing red attire, wielding a crescent staff."Heeyah!" With a shrill cry, the queen summoned a massive flaming orb from the sky.Sen Lei sneered, "Mountain-Crushing Strike!"The enormous black ruler, infused with Sen Lei's blood energy, struck the fireball. The resulting explosion raged through the void.**Third Level!**"That's amazing!" Once again, Sen Lei reveled in the spiritual energy infusion, though the Tyrant Demon Species absorbed all of it without leaving a trace.Sen Lei picked up the Ink Bamboo and continued onward.Outside, Feng Wuya was in disbelief. "That kid made it to the third level? With peak spiritual body strength? Impossible!"Su Xin sipped his tea and slowly commented, "This kid is truly interesting!""Woof~"From the purple teleportation portal emerged a white figure. Taking advantage of the commotion, it dashed over to Feng Jingsheng."Woof, woof," Little Seven softly barked at Feng Jingsheng.Feng Jingsheng quickly picked it up, "Little Seven, where did you go... I thought I lost you." She kept stroking its white fur.At this point, patches of cyan fur resembling a crescent moon began to appear on Little Seven's otherwise white coat. It jumped into Feng Jingsheng's lap and dozed off, as if it had been through a great battle.**Third Level**Sen Lei didn't linger long. The pressure in this level posed little challenge to the newly ascended Sen Lei, who swiftly broke through the barrier. This time, as expected, it was the Zombie King! In version 60, renowned as the toughest boss in the early stages.However, seeing its level, Sen Lei shook his head. Spiritual Sea Level Three, not much of a challenge.He then unleashed a cross slash imbued with blood energy, swiftly dispatching the somewhat dazed Zombie King.After all, this was a realm of illusion. Even if it was at Spiritual Sea Level Three, it couldn't wield the true power of that level. Just like Feng Wuya, who managed to defeat opponents several levels higher in this illusionary realm.Not to mention, Sen Lei's training focused on extraordinary external skills. Under real circumstances, it would be impossible!Sen Lei broke through two levels in the span of half an incense stick's time.Outside, those who had previously mocked Sen Lei were now silent. The entire plaza of Rade Academy was hushed."He... I just saw him in the second level, and now he's in the fourth... Unbelievable..."Feng Wuya's hands were pale with tension. "No way! Spiritual Sea Level strength. Even with Earth-grade spiritual medicine, he couldn't recover like this! He must have some secret!"Feng Wuya was a bit manic. Meanwhile, Yuchu Yaran's eyes shimmered as she gazed at the sole name on the Star Path, giggling, "This little brother seems quite impressive."Feng Jingsheng showed no particular expression, as if everything was as expected. On the other hand, the elders on the stage..."This generation's talents might be the best we've had in years, achieving such results just after enrollment," Cheng Hou sighed.Su Xin remained calm, "Not entirely. We haven't conducted a proper enrollment in many years.""The old man Su is right. This year's scale and effort far exceed previous years. The dean communicated that people from the Upper Realm would be coming to select suitable talents. We must choose a good batch," Cheng Hou remarked."I wonder how the young people who stepped into the Upper Realm in the past are doing. They've probably surpassed us old folks by now," Xiao Tian mused."Mm." Qingfeng nodded slightly. In truth, he was the most astonished. A person who had been crippled, catching up to multiple young prodigies who had been training for years in just a few months? Aside from Ye Hao, only he had achieved such an incredible feat!At this moment, Ye Hao was wrapped in bandages. In terms of injuries sustained on the Star Path, he was undoubtedly the most battered. He had used his last ounce of strength to break through the fourth level, reaching the Fifth Spiritual Sea Realm.He looked at the name on the Star Path, "Sen Lei?"
