"Fifth grade …" Xiao Jiyan muttered with a shocked expression.
She had originally thought that although Xiao Jihan had a high level of talent and comprehension, becoming a third grade Martial Master was his limit. However, she had still underestimated Xiao Jihan. She had to admit that his cultivation talent and comprehension far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
After half a year of closed-door cultivation, he had gone from a seventh grade Martial Warrior to a fifth grade Martial Master.
Xiao Jiyan was certain that even if Xiao Jihan did not have a Spirit Root, his future achievements would still be beyond the reach of ordinary people. He would definitely become one of the top experts in the Xiao Clan.
Although Spirit Root was important to cultivators, and under normal circumstances, it was also the main factor in determining how high a person could reach on the path of cultivation. However, it was not the only factor.
Some people with a high level of talent and comprehension were exceptions. This was because they could reach ninth grade Martial King at a speed several times faster than ordinary people. When their bodies were still in peak condition, they could break through the Martial King barrier and step into the Martial Emperor realm. This was the realm that represented the greatest divide for cultivators, and they would become a true expert!
Old Xiao had once said that such people were like phoenix feathers and qilin horns, existences that were one in a million, and they were extremely rare. This was because after stepping into the Martial Master realm, it was not as simple as Martial Disciple, Martial Student, and Martial Warrior. In the Martial Master realm, there was a barrier between each grade. Furthermore, the higher the barrier, the harder it was to break through. This also meant that every increase in grade was not something that could be accomplished through pure hard work. It also required the corresponding comprehension. Many people were restricted by their own comprehension. After stepping into the Martial Master realm, their speed of advancement would become extremely slow, and some would even stop at a certain grade.
However, Xiao Jihan had broken through four barriers and stepped into the fifth grade Martial Master realm in just a month after advancing into the Martial Master realm!
More importantly, Xiao Jihan was only sixteen years old this year!
Not only Xiao Jiyan, but even Xiao Jihan himself did not expect such a speed of advancement.
All along, Xiao Jihan had been very confident in his talent and comprehension. Perhaps it was because of this that he had never seriously cultivated. However, even so, he still obtained the title of the number one genius of the Xiao Clan's Ji generation.
Furthermore, he liked it when others talked about him with envy. He did not need to cultivate to achieve what ordinary people could not. He didn't put in much effort, but what he got in return exceeded that of ordinary people. This was an innate talent for cultivation. This gave him a sense of superiority over everyone else.
But this time, because of Chen Hao, or perhaps because of the upcoming Cloud Region Martial Gathering, he had truly calmed his heart. For the first time, he had seriously and wholeheartedly immersed himself in cultivation. The results he had obtained were actually so shocking that even he himself had to admire his own comprehension ability. It was really too awesome …
"Hehe … Ji Yan, now do you believe that Senior Brother isn't intentionally distancing himself from you?" Under the envious and amazed gazes of the crowd, Xiao Jihan withdrew his protective aura and spoke with a confident and proud smile.
"Senior Brother Ji Han … I-I know that you are in seclusion … But …"
"But what? Let's go. There are many people here. We can talk as we walk … "Xiao Jihan said gently.
Xiao Jiyan hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. She looked at Xiao Jihan's smiling face and asked softly, "Senior Brother Jihan, why … why are you suppressing Junior Brother Xianghao?"
"Hm?" Hearing Xiao Ji Yan's words, Xiao Ji Han frowned slightly and said, "Suppress him? Are you talking about a life-and-death battle? "
"A life-and-death battle is one thing … Senior Brother Ji Han, as far as I know … When Xianghao first entered the Xiao family, you were already targeting him, right?"
"Ji Yan, where did you get this information from? I was targeting him? Xiao Xianghao had just entered the Xiao family, so what did he have to do with me? Why would I target him? If not for the fact that he did not respect his seniors and lawlessly injured Yoshikawa and Jitao, I wouldn't have bothered with him … He's just a child! "
"But what I know is that it was Xiao Yoshikawa, Xiao Jitao, and the others who bullied Junior Brother Xianghao first! Also, Junior Brother Xianghao had just entered the Xiao family. He should have been first, but now he's in last place. The cafeteria chefs, his instructors, and everyone else don't like him. What's going on? "Xiao Jiyan argued.
"There's such a thing?" Xiao Jihan asked, seemingly stunned.
"Yes, don't you know?"
Xiao Jihan frowned slightly. He did not expect that Xiao Jiyan would actually protect a Junior Brother she had just met despite their relationship. He felt more and more certain that he had done the right thing. Otherwise, with Chen Hao's talent and the fact that he was close to Xiao Jiyan in age, all of his efforts would have been for naught, and in the end, all of his efforts would have been for naught.
It had been three years. Ever since he met Xiao Ji Yan, Xiao Ji Han had done everything he could to please Xiao Ji Yan. However, due to Xiao Ji Yan's young age, he could not show any affection between a man and a woman. He could only interact with her like a big brother and make her feel attached to him. He believed that when Xiao Ji Yan had her first awakening of love, their relationship would naturally turn into that of a man and a woman.
After three years of hard work, he would never allow anyone to snatch Xiao Jiyan away when he was about to reap the fruits of victory …
Of course, the title of the number one genius that he was so proud of would never be taken away by anyone who could threaten him …
"That's strange. It seems that someone is really targeting him … could it be …" Xiao Jihan muttered after pondering for a moment with a frown. He looked as if he really did not know. Especially when he said those words, the naive Xiao Jiyan felt that perhaps this matter was not done by Xiao Jihan.
"Could it be what? Senior Brother Jihan, do you know something? "Xiao Jiyan asked.
"This … might really be related to me …"
"Ah?"
"Sigh … these guys are just messing around … Ji Yan, you should know that Xiao Xianghao's cultivation talent is not inferior to mine, right?"
"Yes. It should be … about the same … "Xiao Jiyan was confused by Xiao Jihan's words and did not understand what he was trying to say. After hearing his words, she seriously thought for a moment before replying. If she did not know that Xiao Jihan had advanced to rank five Martial Master, Xiao Jiyan would naturally think that his cultivation talent was inferior to Chen Hao's.
But now, she faintly felt that Chen Hao was not necessarily stronger than Xiao Jihan. This was because Xiao Jihan's comprehension was simply too high.
"But his body's aptitude is much better than mine … Back then, during the entrance test, his speed couldn't even compare to mine … Sigh, I really shouldn't have spouted nonsense in front of those guys …" Xiao Jihan seemed to be a little upset as he said this.
"You … What did you say? In front of who? "
"Who else could it be? Wasn't it just Yoshikawa and the others? At that time, I was surprised by Xiao Xianghao's body's aptitude and said that he might surpass me … You should also know that Yoshikawa and the others are very fickle when it comes to me … They might have used my reputation to target Xiao Xianghao … "Xiao Jihan said.
At this moment, Xiao Jihan knew that only by using a scapegoat like this would Xiao Jiyan believe him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the two conflicts between Xiao Jichang, Xiao Jichuan, and the others and Chen Hao.
"I see … I knew Senior Brother Jihan was not such a person … I'm sorry, Senior Brother Jihan, I misunderstood you …"
"It's my fault. Ji Yan, you have to believe me in the future. If there's anything you don't understand, you have to look for me immediately. Sigh … I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Fortunately, we talked things out today. Otherwise, if you treated me as a bad person and ignored me … I would be very sad … "
"Yes, yes, that won't happen … I believe you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother, since it's a misunderstanding, why don't you call off your life and death battle with Junior Brother? I don't want the two of you to kill each other … "
The innocent Xiao Jiyan was easily pacified by Xiao Jihan's words. Her beautiful face also returned to its usual appearance when she was with Xiao Jihan.
"This …" Xiao Jihan frowned slightly. His expression suddenly changed as he said in a deep voice, "Ji Yan, although it's a misunderstanding, a man's words carry enormous weight. Words that have been said are like spilled water. They can't be taken back. Furthermore, we agreed that whoever breaks the agreement will automatically be kicked out of the Xiao family. This is something that can't be changed! I don't have any other choice. Although Jichang and the others suppressed him first, he was too arrogant to challenge me as a disciple who had just entered the sect. The reason why I challenged him to a life and death battle was because I wanted to temper his personality. This was a good thing for him. Otherwise, with his personality, he would be killed by others sooner or later. However, he doesn't know what's good for him … You don't have to care about this matter … "
"Senior Brother …" Xiao Jiyan wanted to persuade Xiao Jihan when she heard his words.
"Ji Yan, let's not talk about this anymore …" Xiao Jihan waved his hand and said firmly.
Xiao Jiyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright then … I won't care about you anymore …"
In any case, the Old Ancestor and her father would intervene when the time came. Since the knot in her heart had been untied, Xiao Jiyan couldn't be bothered to care about it anymore. Furthermore, since Xiao Jihan was able to become a Grade Five Martial Master, the Xiao family would definitely think highly of him. In other words, whether it was Chen Hao or Xiao Jihan, the Xiao family wouldn't be willing to let anything happen to them. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss to the Xiao family …
"Yes. That's my good Junior Sister. Take it, Senior Brother bought it especially for you. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Xiao Jiyan smiled and accepted it.
…
In less than a day, the news of Xiao Jihan being promoted to a Grade Five Martial Master spread like wildfire within the Xiao Clan, causing a huge uproar …
