Frame-by-Frame Appreciation

Staring at the plump mosquito in his palm, He Wen's thoughts raced.

As someone from the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall, he was most familiar with dealing with all sorts of ferocious beasts.

If he could deal with ferocious beasts, then a small mosquito was even less of a problem.

Speaking of this mosquito, it was originally used by Yuan'er and that guy He Wu to secretly film him...

Cough!

None of that is important!

What's important is that he could use this mosquito to find out exactly who killed his wife and son!!

He Wen formed strange hand seals, and the mosquito in his hand suddenly "stood up."

Its body stiffened, twitching continuously at an extremely high frequency.

In a short while, the plump mosquito's belly split open to the sides like double doors.

Curiously, the mosquito didn't die from this; instead, its aura even seemed to strengthen slightly.

Immediately after, a tiny, pale blue crystal slowly flew out from its belly.

The mosquito's size also significantly decreased as a result.

The pale blue crystal floated in the air, and after one second, it suddenly erupted in a burst of blue light, projecting a blue screen.

The screen initially showed some scenes that required skipping.

But He Wen didn't dare to fast-forward even for a second! He had endured enough tediousness to appreciate every frame!

Several hours passed, and the scenes finally reached the moment He Yi opened the door.

He Wen's body trembled, a faint trace of reminiscence still on his face, but he clearly remembered his original purpose.

Pulling his attention back, his gaze fixed intently on the projected image.

Soon, a powerful killing intent erupted in his eyes.

The moment He Yi opened the door, he was grabbed by the neck by the newcomer, his neck was instantly crushed, and he was thrown aside like a dead dog.

After that, a punch was thrown at Li Yuan, and then He Wen saw Li Yuan begin to take off her pajamas.

At this moment, He Wen's hatred was momentarily suppressed, and his eyes shone with a bright light.

But when he then saw the black-robed figure kill Li Yuan without hesitation, he subconsciously let out a curse.

"Fuck! Are you even a man!!"

He Wen's gaze was fixed on the screen.

Although the man in the screen was clad in a black robe, his professional cameraman could fly anywhere. The moment the black-robed figure turned, a somewhat blurry face appeared on the screen.

"Found you!!"

A powerful light erupted in He Wen's eyes.

Even though the figure on the screen wasn't very clear, it was enough!

"Wait for me! Bastard!"

"When I find you, I'll skin you alive and pull out your tendons, so you'll know the consequences of killing me!"

"You made me... lose my source of joy!!!"

Low growls echoed from the darkness.

Muyang Third Middle School, in the Gravity Room arena.

As the automatic sliding doors of a certain gravity room slowly opened to the sides, a beautiful girl with an exhausted face slowly walked out.

Although the girl looked extremely weak, her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Because she had just broken through, she couldn't perfectly control the powerful aura that was occasionally released from her body.

Body Tempering Fifth Layer!!

The girl was Jiang Ruohan.

After a week of arduous training, she had finally broken through to the Body Tempering Fifth Layer.

Before, she wouldn't have believed she could cultivate so quickly, and all of this was thanks to...

Jiang Ruohan's gaze couldn't help but drift towards another gravity room.

She saw that the red light was still displayed above that gravity room, indicating that someone was still cultivating inside.

At this moment, her brow furrowed deeply.

After a long silence, she asked the others nearby:

"How long has he been in there this time?"

"He hasn't come out yet!!"

One of the boys couldn't help but swallow, saying with a slightly dazed look.

"What?!!"

Jiang Ruohan's pupils constricted. She abruptly turned her head to look at the Gravity Room where that person was, the red light above never having seemed so conspicuous.

She remembered that before she entered the Gravity Room, Qin Chen, that beast, had already been inside for over ten hours?

And she had been cultivating in the Gravity Room for a full ten hours this time.

If Qin Chen had never come out during this period...

Doesn't that mean this guy has been in the Gravity Room for at least over twenty hours?

No way? Is he really treating the Gravity Room like home and sleeping in it?

She felt exhausted physically and mentally after enduring for ten hours, pushed to the very edge of her physical limits.

If it weren't for her breakthrough to Body Tempering Fifth Layer giving her a temporary boost, she might have collapsed on the ground right now.

The day after the Ranking Battle ended, she heard the news that Qin Chen had been cultivating in the Gravity Room.

Naturally unwilling to admit defeat, she came running over.

Actually, given her family's financial situation, she had a Gravity Room at home, but she didn't want to get stronger in secret.

What she wanted was to tell everyone in person that she was no weaker than Qin Chen.

So, for the past week, she had been competing with Qin Chen.

She ran to the Gravity Room every day, her training intensity far greater than before. It was only under such high-intensity training that her realm could break through to Body Tempering Fifth Layer so quickly.

But even so, she found that her diligence in cultivation was still far from Qin Chen's.

As far as she knew, Qin Chen hadn't been home for a week, spending almost all his time in the Gravity Room.

Occasionally, he would come out to rest for a bit before going back in to continue cultivating.

Sometimes she even doubted if this guy was human, otherwise, how could he endure it?

But she wouldn't give up so easily.

Jiang Ruohan silently cheered herself on.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

The door of the Gravity Room where Qin Chen was located slowly slid open to both sides, and Qin Chen's figure gradually walked out.

Unlike Jiang Ruohan, even though Qin Chen had been in the Gravity Room for over twenty hours, there wasn't a trace of weariness on his face.

His aura was incredibly restrained, making it impossible to gauge his true strength.

"Qin Chen, what's your current realm?"

Jiang Ruohan suddenly spoke.

"Guess?"

A faint smile appeared on Qin Chen's lips, and he slowly walked towards the doorway.

"You!!"

Jiang Ruohan was furious. Looking at Qin Chen's receding back, she inexplicably felt an urge to bite him to death.

"His aura is stable, without the slightest fluctuation, proving he hasn't broken through!"

"And he was only Body Tempering Fifth Layer not long ago. In such a short period, it's impossible for him to have broken through to Body Tempering Sixth Layer, so that means..."

Jiang Ruohan murmured softly, her mind racing, constantly calculating, her eyes growing brighter.

After a while, she reached a conclusion.

Putting aside their actual strength, at least on the surface, the gap between her and Qin Chen had narrowed.

Because previously they were separated by a realm, now they were in the same realm.

Although such a comparison might not be entirely reasonable, it was the only way she could motivate herself right now.

Otherwise, she feared she would lose her drive!!
