Admiring Every Frame

Staring at the fat mosquito in his palm, He Wen's thoughts churned.

As someone from the Myriad Spirits Holy Hall, he was most familiar with dealing with all kinds of Fierce Beasts.

If he could deal with Fierce Beasts, then one little mosquito was nothing to him.

Speaking of the mosquito, it had originally been used by Yuan'er to secretly film him, along with that guy He Wu...

Ahem!

None of that mattered!

What mattered was that he could use this mosquito to find out who had killed his wife and child!!

He Wen made a strange hand seal with both hands. At the same time, the mosquito in his hand suddenly "stood" upright.

Its body stiffened, twitching continuously at an incredibly fast frequency.

Before long, the fat mosquito's abdomen split open like a pair of double doors.

Strangely enough, the mosquito didn't die from this. In fact, its aura seemed to grow slightly stronger.

Then a tiny, pale blue crystal slowly floated out of its abdomen.

The mosquito's body shrank by a whole circle as a result.

The pale blue crystal hovered in the air. A second later, it suddenly burst into blue light, projecting a blue screen.

At first, the screen showed some scenes that needed to be skipped.

But He Wen didn't dare fast-forward even for a second! He'd been bored stiff, so he had to savor every frame!

Several hours passed before the footage finally reached the moment He Yi had gone to open the door.

He Wen's body shuddered, a trace of lingering satisfaction on his face, but he clearly remembered his original purpose.

Pulling his attention back, he stared intently at the projected images.

Before long, a fierce killing intent suddenly blazed in his eyes.

The instant He Yi opened the door, the newcomer grabbed him by the throat. Then his neck was crushed in a flash, and he was tossed aside like a dead dog.

Next came a punch aimed at Li Yuan. After that, He Wen saw Li Yuan start taking off her pajamas.

For a moment, even He Wen's hatred was suppressed, and his eyes shone brightly.

But when he saw the Black Robe figure kill Li Yuan without hesitation, he blurted out a curse.

"Fuck! Are you even a man?!"

He Wen stared fixedly at the screen.

The man in the footage wore a black robe, but He Wen was a professional cameraman who could fly all over the place. The instant the Black Robe figure turned around, a somewhat blurry face appeared in the footage.

"Found you!!"

A fierce light flared in He Wen's eyes.

The figure in the footage wasn't very clear, but it was enough!

"Just you wait, you bastard!"

"When I find you, I'll skin you alive and rip out your tendons. Then you'll learn what happens to people who kill my family!"

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

A series of low growls came from the darkness.

At the gravity room complex at Muyang Third Middle School,

the automatic sliding doors of one of the Gravity Rooms slowly opened, and an absolutely beautiful girl with an exhausted look on her face walked out.

Although the girl seemed extremely drained, her eyes were unusually bright.

She had just broken through and couldn't yet perfectly control the powerful aura that kept spilling out of her.

Body Tempering Fifth Layer!!

The girl was Jiang Ruohan.

After a week of hard training, she had finally reached Body Tempering Fifth Layer.

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

Jiang Ruohan's gaze drifted toward a Gravity Room on the other side.

The light above its entrance was still red, meaning someone was still training inside.

Her brows drew tightly together.

After a long silence, she asked a few people nearby:

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

"He hasn't come out at all!"

One of the boys swallowed and answered, his gaze a little dazed.

"What?!"

Jiang Ruohan's pupils contracted. She whipped around and looked toward the Gravity Room he was in. The red light above it had never looked so glaring.

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

And she had just trained in the Gravity Room for a full ten hours.

If Qin Chen hadn't come out once during that time...

Did that mean he'd been inside the Gravity Room for at least twenty hours?

Seriously? Had he made the Gravity Room his home and gone to sleep in there?

After ten hours, she'd felt mentally and physically exhausted, right at the edge of her limits.

If breaking through to Body Tempering Fifth Layer hadn't given her a timely boost, she might already have collapsed onto the floor.

The day after the Ranking Battle ended, she'd heard that Qin Chen had been training in the Gravity Room nonstop.

Unwilling to admit defeat, she'd come over too.

Actually, with her family's circumstances, there was a Gravity Room at home. But she didn't want to secretly grow stronger at home.

She wanted to prove to everyone that she wasn't weaker than Qin Chen.

So for the past week, she'd been competing with him.

She went to the Gravity Room every day, training far harder than before. It was only through such intense training that she'd managed to reach Body Tempering Fifth Layer so quickly.

Even so, she'd realized that her dedication to training still fell far short of Qin Chen's.

As far as she knew, Qin Chen hadn't gone home in a week. He'd spent nearly the whole week holed up in the Gravity Room.

He'd occasionally come out to catch his breath, then go right back in to keep training.

Sometimes she even wondered if he was human. How else could he keep going like that?

But she wasn't about to give up so easily.

Jiang Ruohan silently encouraged herself.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening rang out, and everyone's attention was drawn toward it.

The door of the Gravity Room Qin Chen was in slid slowly to either side, and Qin Chen walked out.

Unlike Jiang Ruohan, even after spending more than twenty hours in the Gravity Room, Qin Chen showed not a trace of exhaustion.

His aura was also completely restrained, making it impossible to tell how strong he was.

"Qin Chen, what level are you at now?"

Jiang Ruohan suddenly asked.

"Guess."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qin Chen's mouth. Then he slowly walked toward the exit.

"You!"

Jiang Ruohan was furious. Watching Qin Chen's retreating figure, she felt an inexplicable urge to bite him to death.

"His aura is steady, without the slightest fluctuation. That proves he hasn't broken through!"

"And he only reached Body Tempering Fifth Layer recently. There's no way he could reach Body Tempering Sixth Layer in such a short time, so that means..."

Jiang Ruohan muttered under her breath, her mind racing as she continued to reason it out. Her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Before long, she reached a conclusion.

Putting strength aside, at least on the surface, the gap between her and Qin Chen had grown smaller.

Before, they'd been a level apart. Now they were at the same level.

That might not be a fair comparison, but it was all she could use to motivate herself.

Otherwise, she was afraid she'd lose her drive!
