"First level of the Yuqing Realm?"
The moment Su Han revealed his cultivation level, an eerie silence fell over the scene.
The people of Great Bamboo Peak looked as though they had been struck by a immobilization spell, their faces full of disbelief.
Tian Buyi's mouth fell slightly open, and the hands he had held before his chest dropped unconsciously to his sides.
The first level of the Yuqing Realm would normally not have caught his attention.
But...
That depended on who it was, and how many days they had spent cultivating before breaking through!
Tian Buyi had originally thought Su Han was merely a disciple who had just begun cultivation and had not even reached the Yuqing Realm.
He never could have imagined...
That Su Han, who had seemed so utterly ordinary in aptitude back at Yuqing Hall, had now reached the first level of the Yuqing Realm.
What was more!
He had reached it who knew how many days sooner than Lin Jingyu, the peerless genius in his eyes.
Only after quite a while did Tian Buyi finally come back to his senses.
He stared at Su Han and muttered, "Th-this... how is this possible?"
"Back then, even Senior Brother Daoxuan and Senior Brother Wan Jianyi took over twenty days to enter the Yuqing Realm, didn't they?!"
"Could this kid's talent be even better than Senior Brother Daoxuan's and Senior Brother Wan Jianyi's?"
Su Ru was equally stunned, her gentle eyes now filled with astonishment.
She shook her head slightly, as if trying to confirm whether she had misheard.
"The first level of the Yuqing Realm? Xiao Han, you already have such cultivation..."
Song Daren, He Dazhi, and the other disciples were so shocked that they could not say a word.
Just moments ago, they had thought Su Han was only someone like Xiaofan, someone who had merely managed to draw in qi.
Yet unexpectedly, Su Han had already entered the Yuqing Realm.
They had all needed a long time to enter the Yuqing Realm after beginning cultivation. Even Song Daren, who had taken the shortest time, had spent about a full year.
Yet Junior Brother Su Han before them had been on the mountain for only seventeen days!
"Have all these years of my cultivation gone to the dogs?"
He Dazhi looked at Su Han and could not help complaining helplessly.
Lu Daxin scratched his head. "This really is unexpected. Junior Brother Su Han's aptitude is actually this heaven-defying!"
Meanwhile, the relaxed smile on Du Bishu's face instantly froze, replaced by shock and gravity.
He looked at Su Han, inwardly groaning.
He had thought this would be an easy spar, but he had never expected his opponent to possess cultivation at the first level of the Yuqing Realm.
Although his own cultivation was stronger, having already reached the third level of the Yuqing Realm...
How could a monstrous genius like this be judged by common sense?
Only Tian Ling'er looked at everyone's stunned expressions with excitement.
She bounced up happily and shouted, "Haha, I knew it! I knew Su Han was amazing!"
Her face was full of pride and delight.
Hearing Tian Ling'er's words, Su Ru's eyes showed a hint of curiosity. "Ling'er, you said you already knew Su Han was amazing. When did you find out?"
Excitement shone across Tian Ling'er's face as she eagerly answered, "Mother, I found out at the Back Mountain."
Hearing this, Su Ru could not help feeling both amused and exasperated.
She had originally brought Su Han to Great Bamboo Peak because she wanted her husband to see...
That even if Su Han's aptitude was ordinary, her senior sister still treated him very well.
But now...
"Su Han's talent is far too monstrous!"
By then, Tian Buyi had finally recovered his senses.
He snorted coldly at Song Daren, Du Bishu, and the others, who were still discussing the matter in shock. "Enough. Stop talking. Continue the spar."
However, for once, he did not turn around and scold Zhang Xiaofan again.
After all, Su Han's talent gave even Tian Buyi a sense of helplessness. He had no desire whatsoever to compare Zhang Xiaofan with Su Han.
At that moment, he could only envy Shui Yue intensely. Shui Yue really struck gold!
No wonder she insisted on keeping Su Han at Little Bamboo Peak!
If I had a disciple like that, I'd treasure and protect him too.
It's a pity that only Junior Sister Shui Yue saw just how heaven-defying this child's talent was back then. Ah!
Tian Buyi let out a long sigh in his heart.
On the other side.
Hearing his master's words, Du Bishu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart as his gaze gradually turned serious.
He cupped his hands toward Su Han and said, "Junior Brother Su Han, if that is the case, then let us begin."
Su Han nodded slightly. The refined steel sword in his hand pointed diagonally toward the ground, his expression calm and focused.
The two moved at once.
At first, Du Bishu did not use any techniques, choosing instead to engage in close combat.
Du Bishu moved as swiftly as a cheetah. He kicked hard against the ground with his right foot and shot toward Su Han like an arrow loosed from a bow.
His right fist tore through the air with a whistle, striking straight for Su Han's face.
Seeing this, Su Han did not use any techniques either.
He wanted to see how strong his body had become after cultivating Great Brahma Prajna.
Su Han calmly shifted slightly to the side, easily evading Du Bishu's fierce punch.
Then, like lightning, Su Han reached out with his left hand and seized Du Bishu's wrist. He pulled him along with the motion while swiftly kicking out with his right foot toward Du Bishu's abdomen.
Du Bishu's heart jolted. He hurriedly drew in his abdomen and pulled his left leg back, narrowly avoiding Su Han's kick.
However, Su Han did not stop attacking.
He released Du Bishu's wrist, spun around, and hurled out his right fist like a cannonball straight at Du Bishu's chest.
Du Bishu had no time to think. He hastily raised both arms and crossed them before his chest to block.
Bang!
When Su Han's fist slammed into Du Bishu's arms, a dull thud rang out.
Du Bishu felt a wave of searing pain shoot through his arms. His body staggered backward several steps uncontrollably before he finally fell onto the ground on his backside.
He stared at Su Han in utter astonishment, his heart deeply shaken.
"Junior Brother Su Han, your physical strength is actually this powerful?!"
"As expected, a monstrous genius like you cannot be judged by common sense!"
Watching this scene, Su Ru could not help being secretly surprised by the strength Su Han had displayed.
"Buyi, Xiao Han's strength is rather unexpected."
"It is not merely that he cultivates quickly. Even his reactions in battle are quite commendable."
Tian Buyi narrowed his eyes slightly and could not help nodding in agreement. "This kid is indeed somewhat interesting."
"I just wonder how well he has cultivated his techniques?"
"If his techniques are also powerful, then he truly is a genius who surpasses Senior Brother Daoxuan!"
Su Han did not know what Tian Buyi and Su Ru were thinking.
Looking at Du Bishu, who had just risen from the ground, he smiled faintly. "Senior Brother Du, be careful."
With that, Su Han charged forward again.
His footwork was nimble as he moved rapidly around Du Bishu like a swimming dragon.
Du Bishu stared at Su Han tensely, trying to catch his movements.
Suddenly, Su Han attacked from Du Bishu's side, throwing a punch at his shoulder.
Du Bishu hurriedly turned aside to evade it, but Su Han was simply too fast. The wind from Su Han's fist still grazed him, making his body sway slightly.
After several exchanges, Du Bishu felt increasingly strained.
He realized that this could not continue. He had to use techniques as soon as possible to turn the situation around.
Thus, Du Bishu suddenly leaped backward, opening up distance between himself and Su Han.
"Junior Brother Su Han, be careful!"
Du Bishu's eyes turned solemn as his hands rapidly formed seals and he muttered an incantation.
Seeing this, Su Han instantly drew his sword. His gaze sharpened.
"My sword is called Seven Tribulations Dragon Slash. Senior Brother Du is the one who should be careful!"
