Rapid Advancement (2)

"..." After hearing the Little Princess's words, Ye Lanyu fell silent again, this time with a hint of shame so deep she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

That was right. If she did not work hard, she might really be surpassed by that little girl. How humiliating would that be?!

In the past, Ye Lanyu would never have believed that such a little girl could surpass her—especially a little girl who had only just begun cultivating!

She admitted that there were many people on this continent more talented than her, but there could not possibly be such a vast gap. If someone lagged so far behind her, it would be impossible for them to catch up.

That had been how she used to think. Now, she found it even more impossible, because over the past half year, her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. No matter how gifted a genius might be, she did not think they could progress faster than her.

The breakthrough they had been discussing referred to a breakthrough in strength. At this point, Ye Lanyu had entered a realm envied by everyone on the continent, one that most could only gaze at from afar and only a tiny minority could attain.

At the same time, only an exceedingly small number of people could cross beyond this realm!

Once one crossed beyond it, one could become a supreme powerhouse, standing at the pinnacle of the continent's strength—

Heaven Rank!!

What Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess were currently breaking through was precisely this realm, a realm only one step away from Heaven Rank. Once they crossed it, they would become the youngest Heaven-Rank Experts on the continent.

At least, as far as was currently known, they were the youngest!!
