After entering the bamboo forest, the surroundings became much quieter.
As usual, Chen Luo arrived before the bamboo hut. A group of registered disciples had long been waiting there.
The young man with a jade belt around his waist is a Grandmaster. There are calluses around his thumb; judging by their placement, there is a high chance he specializes in the blade.
The woman on the far right is the eldest daughter of Shanghe Town's Ouyang Family. The pouch at her waist bears the Ouyang Family's mark, and its symbol denotes seniority by age.
It was not only Chen Luo who had improved. Even the External Brains within him had undergone tremendous changes.
From such a great distance, they saw much that had previously escaped their notice. With only a single glance, several brains skilled at observation had analyzed the backgrounds and origins of these disciples seven or eight parts out of ten.
"Senior Brother Chen."
When the registered disciples saw Chen Luo enter, they all rose to greet him.
"Senior Brother Apprentice, have you entered the Dao?"
Several of the sharper registered disciples had already noticed the difference in Chen Luo. The eldest daughter of the Ouyang Family directly voiced the question.
"I merely got lucky and took the first step ahead."
Chen Luo nodded in response.
The moment he said this, shock and envy appeared in every registered disciple's eyes.
Tian Yonglu in particular, who had entered the bamboo forest alongside Chen Luo, keenly felt how uneven the world could be. Tian Yonglu's temperament and personality had changed greatly. He no longer had that old habit of looking down on people with his forehead, and he spoke far less. He had probably been dealt quite a blow by the other senior brothers and sisters in the bamboo forest.
