Breakthroughs in Droves?

In the Battle of Spirit City, Chu Xinghe was known for single-handedly manipulating all the major forces in the world.

Chu Xinghe is not only the number one cultivator among the younger generation, but his methods are also something that even some old monsters are ashamed of.

But hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things.

Deacon Yang witnessed it with his own eyes today.

After a series of actions that no one could understand, Deacon Yang even suspected that Chu Xinghe was trying to harm the sect.

But now Deacon Yang realized that he had been too superficial. Chu Xinghe was selecting the best and most outstanding disciples, and talent was not even a consideration for Xinghe.

After all, who isn't a prodigy to get here? The differences aren't that significant.

But mindset is different; those with a high mindset are bound to achieve much more in the Future.

It's obvious to a fool which to choose: recruiting three thousand of the most talented disciples or three thousand disciples with exceptional talent after a breakthrough in their mental state.

Even if those three hundred useless people from the Muyue Kingdom wasted three hundred spots, at this moment, Deacon Yang felt it was all worth it.

It was totally worth it!

The Vast Heaven Sect is a large and powerful family. What's wrong with having three hundred useless people? Are we unable to afford to support them or what?

But sacrificing three hundred geniuses in exchange for two thousand seven hundred prodigies who break through their mental barriers is a deal that Deacon Yang would never hesitate to make ten thousand times over.

Looking at Chu Xinghe's calm expression, Deacon Yang understood that this was indeed Chu Xinghe; he was completely confident.

News of the disciples who remained behind frantically breaking through their mental barriers quickly spread outside Haotian City.

Those from various sects who were waiting for Xinghe Laotie to send them geniuses vomited blood on the spot upon hearing this news.

"Say it again, you son of a bitch? Breakthroughs in film and television?"

"No need to confirm... Look above Haotian City, auspicious clouds are covering it. These are auspicious clouds attracted by countless people breaking through their mental barriers."

How did Chu Xinghe do that?

"I understand now, I finally understand. This is a trap, a trap set by Chu Xinghe! You and I are both in this game, merely pawns in Chu Xinghe's hands."

"Hey bro, tell me what happened already!"

"From the very beginning, Chu Xinghe's expulsion of the top three was actually a premeditated act, designed to make outsiders believe he was acting recklessly and to make those geniuses think that Chu Xinghe was all talk and no action."

"The subsequent recruitment of three hundred useless individuals from the Muyue Kingdom further intensified this sentiment. Look at those geniuses; they all think Chu Xinghe is an idiot and doesn't deserve to be the number one among the younger generation..."

"In the subsequent assessment, fueled by the previous two incidents, everyone believed that Chu Xinghe was deliberately humiliating them, so more and more people left. However, like gold being sifted from sand, those who remained were those with unwavering resolve. In the end, they understood Chu Xinghe's good intentions, and their breakthrough in mental strength was a natural consequence..."

After this guy finished speaking, everyone shook their heads and smiled wryly.

This is a setup! This is a complete setup!

We've all become pawns in Chu Xinghe's game. Just a few days ago, we were laughing at Chu Xinghe, calling him a fool and the genius his buddy Chu Xinghe sent us.

But now, looking at them, all these geniuses are weak-willed. Can such people go all the way on the path of Future?

What's even more terrifying is that Chu Xinghe has manipulated people's hearts to the extreme. His three-pronged attack directly led to breakthroughs for countless geniuses. These geniuses not only improved their mental state and had a promising Future, but more importantly, after this incident, they became absolutely loyal to the Vast Heaven Sect.

What is the most feared disciple? It must be someone disloyal and unrighteous, and in recent years, the Demonic Sect has infiltrated many disciples into various sects.

Everyone is struggling with how to filter the results.

Today, Chu Xinghe's move was so clever that no screening was needed at all. It's impossible for a disciple of the Demonic Sect to break through their mental barriers and maintain such a firm will. Therefore, Chu Xinghe's move was truly brilliant...

Each sect shook their heads and smiled bitterly, but those who left suffered even more...

When the news about Haotian City spread, those geniuses who had previously cursed and left were dumbfounded.

Many of those who remained have overcome their mental barriers.

We were so narrow-minded... We completely failed to understand Chu Xinghe's good intentions.

But what's the point of saying this now?

When you think about it, it's all because of my own lack of willpower...

If only I were just a little more determined, and had broken through my mental barriers, my future path Future joining the Vast Heaven Sect would surely be one of meteoric rise.

But now everything is gone...

Many people burst into tears on the spot.

We thought the Vast Heaven Sect was unworthy of letting us stay, but now we realize that we are the ones who are unworthy of staying with the Vast Heaven Sect.

The number one sect in the world truly lives up to its name; every sip and bite is unfathomable.

Especially Chu Xinghe. Those who had previously shouted that they must surpass Chu Xinghe now suddenly realized that the gap between them and Chu Xinghe was simply heaven and earth. How could they possibly surpass him?

He himself was just a weak-willed nobody, while Chu Xinghe was a powerful figure who could control the minds of all the geniuses in the world.

News from the Vast Heaven Sect Haotian City Sect these past few days.

However, having learned from their experience in Spirit City, neither the sect leader nor the elders remained steadfast.

What? Xinghe wiped out the top three in an instant?

So what if they're done in seconds? The Vast Heaven Sect doesn't need these three.

What? Xinghe took in three hundred useless Muyue Kingdom?

Don't panic. My Vast Heaven Sect is large and powerful; we don't need three hundred of them. Go and see the Ouyang Lineage. We dared to keep even the Ouyang Lineage here; why would we be afraid of three hundred people from the Muyue Kingdom?

What? Xinghe used his standing technique to drive away more than half of the people?

Stay calm! That's how Xinghe does things – unpredictable and whimsical. Everyone stay calm and Watch Quietly as Things Change.

Just as the Grand Elder was starting to panic slightly, a spirit bird flew in from Haotian City.

The moment the message from the spirit bird was received, the sect leader immediately summoned the heads of all the palaces. The spirit bird flew out, and all the heads, even those who had long anticipated Chu Xinghe, were stunned upon seeing the message.

"Using the top three as pawns, then escalating the conflict with the three hundred useless Muyue Kingdom, and finally excluding all those with weak wills through seemingly humiliating methods— Xinghe, this child... I am ashamed to admit my inferiority in this move."

"Wow... this child's high aspirations are simply unbelievable."

"We should be grateful that Xinghe is a disciple of my Vast Heaven Sect. If he were a member of the Demonic Sect, we would have to eliminate him no matter the cost!"

The elders all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with such a terrifying temperament, if he were truly a disciple of a Demonic Sect, wouldn't he be a tremendous calamity for the Future?

The Grand Elder remained silent, maintaining his composure...

The sect leader's face beamed with joy. He hadn't thought much of sending Xinghe to oversee the selection, but he never expected the boy to give the Vast Heaven Sect such a pleasant surprise.

What's most important for a sect? It's definitely its lineage!

Xinghe naturally realized this as well. In this game of chess in Haotian City, Xinghe used all the geniuses in the world as pieces. The ingenuity of the layout and the explosive effect were simply perfect.

In Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu also received the news.

After witnessing everything, Zheng Yu looked coldly at those who had mocked Senior Brother Xinghe. The brighter their smiles were back then, the uglier their faces were now.

"I told you long ago, Senior Brother Xinghe's skills are so advanced that they are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In this game, the moment Senior Brother Xinghe placed his first piece, he was already the sole winner of the entire game."

Zheng Yu shook his head and sighed. He had been trying to catch up with Senior Brother Xinghe, but why was he getting further and further away from him?

However, Zheng Yu did not give up. He believed that as long as he kept moving forward, he would eventually see Senior Brother Xinghe's back one day.

Haotian City has truly been devastated this time...

It is said that the book "My Mother and Chu Xinghe: A Few Things" sold out immediately.

Regardless of whether what's recorded inside is true or not, anything related to Chu Xinghe is definitely something everyone cares about.

The results of this assessment are in...

A staggering 2,581 people achieved a breakthrough in their mental state during this assessment, not only shaking the world but also setting a new record for the number of people breaking through to a new mental state in a single day, surpassing the previous record by a full 2,500...

This is a number that is absolutely impossible to surpass... No! Some say that to surpass this number, perhaps only Chu Xinghe can make another move.

In any case, the Vast Heaven Sect has made a fortune this time.

All 2,581 people were naturally kept, and Ma Liang personally registered them one by one.

Then Ma Liang personally selected a group of people with firm wills who were about to break through their mental barriers, and together with three hundred disciples from the Muyue Kingdom, this batch of three thousand disciples was complete.

The strongest three thousand disciples in history!

This is a nickname given to this group of disciples in private.

But Ma Liang disagreed.

The strongest ever? Have you even thought before saying that? Last year was the real champion!

Last year, among the three thousand disciples, there were Senior Brother Xinghe and me... Aren't Senior Brother Xinghe and I stronger than those three thousand disciples combined?

Therefore, the strongest disciples in history must be Senior Brother Xinghe and myself.

Moreover, Ma Liang noticed that Senior Brother Xinghe was trusting him more and more. He didn't need to report much to Senior Brother Xinghe about the entire disciple recruitment process; Senior Brother Xinghe would simply say, "You handle it..."

Sure enough! He had become Senior Brother Xinghe's favorite.

When Senior Brother Xinghe becomes the master of the Vast Heaven Sect in the Future, I might become the next generation's Grand Elder.

The Future Elder Ma looked excited.

Chu Xinghe sat in the courtyard of the villa, his face etched with utter despair.

That bastard Ma Liang still dares to show his face in front of me?

Hold back... I have to hold back... Thunder Shadow, don't tremble. He's still my junior brother; I can't bear to kill him...

Besides, although his plan to recruit ordinary disciples had collapsed, the three hundred geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom were still there!

Stay calm! You haven't lost yet!

With three hundred geniuses from the Muyue Kingdom at his disposal, he still has hope of turning the tide!

These are 300 super useless guys! Ma Liang couldn't do anything about them. So, who can kill me in this round?!

Thinking of the three hundred geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom, Chu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and made a special trip to see Mu Bai and the others.

Thankfully... they were all alright, and none of them seemed to have made any progress. Seeing this, Chu Xinghe felt much relieved.

First, the Ouyang Lineage consumed a million spirit stones every year; now, the three hundred geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom have accomplished nothing.

Despite a huge disadvantage at the start, I'm still confident of victory!
