After Transmigrating into a Book as the Villain, All the Heroines' Character Settings Changed

But at this moment, when they saw Xu Chen's realm skyrocketing at breakneck speed,

they could not help but be shocked and stunned.

After all, Xu Chen was currently in the Great Emperor realm.

A Great Emperor.

Ordinarily, one had to cultivate for an incredibly long time just to advance even a little in such a realm.

For example, cultivating for several thousand years to rise by a single minor realm.

Like advancing from Great Emperor Third Heaven to Great Emperor Fourth Heaven.

That was right, several thousand years.

Those several thousand years could mean three thousand years, or perhaps seven or eight thousand.

The exact length depended entirely on one's talent.

They had never expected

that not only did Ye Xuan not need to do that,

but Xu Chen did not need to either.

They had both spent only a few years

to soar from Great Emperor Fifth Heaven to Great Emperor Ninth Heaven.

Xu Chen had even directly reached the Half-step Immortal Emperor realm.

Holy shit, this was beyond outrageous.

That cultivation speed was simply terrifying.

At this moment, Ye Xuan still wore a face full of disbelief.

He shook his head wildly. "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

He was the protagonist.

A mighty protagonist whose realm had soared rapidly,

whose strength was immensely powerful—one could even call it terrifying.

And now, he had actually become someone else's stepping stone?

He had once again been trampled beneath a villain's feet?

He simply could not believe such a thing.

Xu Chen said blandly,

"Originally, I did not intend to reveal my realm.

"But there was no helping it. You insisted on making me show off and slap your face.

"How could I possibly refuse?

"There was no helping it. It is hard for me to refuse when you are like this."
