Setting Out!
Hearing these words, Dongfang Yueming remained unmoved, only a mysterious smile appearing on his lips.
Just as he headed to the rendezvous point, an astonishing fluctuation once again emanated from that secluded cultivation chamber!
Shi Qing's internal energy surged like a raging river, cleansing her meridians! With a soft, crisp sound, as if some barrier had been broken, an even stronger and more dynamic aura emanated from her body!
Tendon Transformation Realm! Entry Level!
At the moment of breakthrough, Shi Qing's appearance underwent another subtle change. Her originally heroic face became softer, and her features became more delicate. Although she still carried a dashing air, she was already a rare beauty. However, her tall and strong figure was still different from that of ordinary women.
Shi Qing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body and an unprecedented sense of lightness. A confident smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
The door to the secret chamber opened, and Uncle Shi was already waiting outside. When he saw Shi Qing emerge from seclusion, a deep shock and relief flashed in his aged eyes! ' The Tendon Transformation Realm! She's broken through two levels in such a short time! This... this talent hidden deep within her bloodline is simply terrifying!'
Shi Qing bowed respectfully to Uncle Shi: "Father, your daughter has successfully broken through."
"Good! Good! Good!" Uncle Shi exclaimed three times, his excitement overflowing. "Qing'er, your future is limitless!"
Shi Qing nodded, then said, "Father, I must now set off for the Martial Dao Academy."
Looking into his daughter's resolute eyes, Uncle Shi felt a pang of reluctance, yet he knew that a fledgling eagle must eventually leave the nest. He nodded, saying nothing more. But as Shi Qing turned to leave, a bitter pang of regret welled up within him. 'What a pity... Qing'er, with such talent, if she hadn't been born into my Shi Family, if she hadn't been burdened with this damned curse, how glorious her achievements would have been...'
When Dongfang Yueming arrived at the designated training room, Qin Rushuang, Yue Tao, and Xi Feng were already waiting there.
"Everyone's here, let's get ready to go," Qin Rushuang said succinctly when she saw Dongfang Yueming.
"Teacher Qin, didn't you say there was one last teammate?" Dongfang Yueming asked curiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the training room was pushed open, and a tall and graceful figure walked in—it was Shi Qing, who had just emerged from seclusion!
'It's her?!' A hint of surprise flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes. She hadn't expected the last teammate to be ' Little Stone '!
Not long ago, wasn't the other party still focused on Flesh Refining?
And her figure... it's changed so much compared to before!
"This is Shi Qing, your new teammate," Qin Rushuang introduced them.
Shi Qing's gaze fell on Dongfang Yueming, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
To participate in the Battle of the Python Gate, Dongfang Yueming's cultivation level would need to be at least at the Great Perfection or even the Perfection of Bone Tempering Greater Mastery, right?
How did the other party manage to leapfrog several minor realms in such a short time?
The two tacitly refrained from revealing their thoughts, simply exchanging glances and nodding to each other.
Qin Rushuang watched the interaction between the two, secretly thinking to herself: ' Shi Qing... his surname is Shi... it's best for Dongfang Yueming to keep his distance from the Shi Family to avoid unnecessary trouble.'
Xi Feng saw Shi Qing, especially noticing that she seemed to know Dongfang Yueming, a smug glint flashed in his eyes. 'Hmph, Dongfang Yueming, you sure know how to stir up trouble! Getting close to the Shi Family? Just wait and see!'
Without further delay, the group left the training room and arrived at the entrance of the Martial Dao Academy.
The Great Yan Dynasty's troops were already waiting there.
The participants from both sides met, and under the guidance of their two mentors, the team members introduced themselves briefly.
When it was Dongfang Yueming and Shi Qing's turn, Wang Bufan from the Great Yan Dynasty showed obvious disdain on his face. 'Hmph, what good will it do to bring up two useless people who have only just begun to learn the Tendon Transformation Initial Stage? They'll still get crushed by us!'
The female student named Zhao Jin lingered on Dongfang Yueming for a moment longer, seemingly curious about his handsome appearance and composed demeanor.
This scene was witnessed by Zhao Yi, who was standing nearby. A hint of jealousy and displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he glared coldly at Dongfang Yueming.
Xi Feng naturally noticed Zhao Yi's hostility as well, and felt secretly resentful, 'This kid is such a troublemaker!'
The two team leaders, Qin Rushuang and Zhao Qingfeng, didn't pay much attention to these minor incidents. They nodded to each other and then simultaneously gave the order:
"Set off!"
