When wave after wave of teams rushed nonstop toward Cangming, Bi Fan and his group had already been cultivating on Mizhong Island for more than half a year.
During that time, everyone who had come to train had broken through. The three who had been stuck at the Spirit Master Realm, led by Jin Shanshan, had all entered the Spirit Sect Realm.
Jin Shanshan's breakthrough had caused an especially strange disturbance that even surprised Bi Fan.
Ling Xiaoxiao explained that it was caused by the lingering aura of the Golden Crow Great Emperor within him, which had stirred the heavens and earth. It was also because of that aura that his breakthrough had been delayed time and again.
Fortunately, perseverance had paid off. This increase in strength had fundamentally changed his combat ability.
Perhaps the Kirin Clan had put too much pressure on him. Perhaps he simply didn't want the Golden Crow Clan's reputation to be ruined on his watch.
After breaking through, Jin Shanshan barely slacked off for a moment. Every day, without fail, he cultivated, meditated, or sought out people from Lingguang Valley for a spar.
Most of the time, he ended up battered and bruised, but his reckless approach to training had helped him improve rapidly.
After a while, the people from Lingguang Valley stopped sparring with him and began following his example, each of them training like mad. They wanted to climb to higher steps, absorb denser spiritual energy, and grow stronger.
One day, after finishing his spiritual energy cultivation, Jin Shanshan stretched and looked for someone to help him loosen up.
But not one person from Lingguang Valley wanted to spar with him, and the Wu siblings weren't a match for him. For a moment, he stood there hesitantly, unsure what to do.
