Chapter 317: Chapter 152: Limits and the Message from the State Preceptor

[Time permitting, check out the God-Killing Battlefield, Pan Hong]

Inside the Gathering Stars Array at the Academic Hall where Yuan Feiqing was cultivating, he suddenly received a Starlight Transmission from his master, Pan Hong.

This caught Yuan Feiqing by surprise. The God-Killing Battlefield?

Isn’t it meant for fighting? What’s there to see?

But since the master had spoken, Yuan Feiqing dutifully entered the God-Killing Battlefield through the Star-Picking Order, glanced at the overall ranking—no changes, the newcomer ranking, hmm?

Had his own ranking dropped by one?

Who had surpassed him?

As he looked up the list and saw Xu Jin’s name at the top, Yuan Feiqing was indeed surprised.

He acknowledged Xu Jin, the Top of the Autumn Exam.

But had Xu Jin’s Cultivation Level really not yet broken through to the Second Layer of Refining Star to reach first place?

In the next instant, as the leaderboard shifted slightly and Yuan Feiqing focused, he sharply inhaled a cold breath!

The seventy-second floor!

He realized!

What his master wanted him to see was not the ranking.

But the floor number.

Xu Jin, at the First Layer of Refining Star, had already reached the seventy-second floor.

And he, being at the Third Layer of Refining Star, was still stuck at the sixty-fourth floor!

Such a discrepancy, isn’t it terrifying?

"Xu Jin couldn’t possibly have the strength to instantly defeat me, right?" Suddenly, an absurd idea popped into Yuan Feiqing’s mind.

After thinking it over, Yuan Feiqing firmly shook his head.

Impossible!

At least, the First Layer Xu Jin couldn’t possibly.

But the Third Layer Xu Jin might be another story.

Fortunately, Xu Jin was currently only at the First Layer.

After reflecting for a moment, Yuan Feiqing promptly sent out four or five Starlight Transmissions.

In fact, without Yuan Feiqing’s reminder, many new disciples were already paying attention to the rankings on the God-Killing Battlefield.

There was no helping it; Xu Jin’s surge up the ranks today was too explosive.

Fortunately, the God-Killing Battlefield ranking list didn’t display Xu Jin’s specific Cultivation Level.

Many core disciples and Inner Court disciples who were not quite familiar with Xu Jin’s situation subconsciously assumed that Xu Jin must also be at the Third Layer of Refining Star.

After all, it’s normal for the First True Inheritor to be at the Third Layer.

In their view, this achievement was only to be expected.

Top of the Autumn Exam, first place on the God-Killing Battlefield, that seemed quite normal.

However, those disciples who knew Xu Jin’s specific situation found it explosively incredible.

Guan Li, ranked sixth among True Inheritors, was the first to notice something odd and had been watching for two quarters of an hour. Watching as Xu Jin’s rank rose rapidly until the current seventy...third floor!

Suddenly, Guan Li felt defeated.

Having become a True Inheritor, he was fully geared up to make a name for himself.

Now, seeing Xu Jin’s performance and comparing it to his own, he suddenly lost his spirit.

"Senior Sister, look at the God-Killing Battlefield! How is Xu Jin so formidable? It makes me feel like I can never surpass him!" Guan Li informed Meng Qingqiu through a Starlight Transmission and expressed his feelings.

Meng Qingqiu had already been notified by Yuan Feiqing.

Xu Jin’s performance startled her, even felt somewhat explosive.

So strong!

But it was just a feeling and didn’t affect her in the slightest!

After taking a few short moments to watch, Meng Qingqiu exited the God-Killing Battlefield, ready to continue cultivating.

Others are others, and I am myself!

Grounding herself and focusing on every slight improvement in her Cultivation Level, Meng Qingqiu relished this feeling the most.

However, Meng Qingqiu clearly noticed that Guan Li’s mood was off.

[Why are you so obsessed with surpassing Xu Jin? Do you also wish to surpass your master, or even the State Preceptor? Meng Qingqiu]

[Senior Sister, the master and the State Preceptor have cultivated for so many years! But this Xu Jin, he’s just like us, yet feels so strong, I seem too weak... Guan Li]

[If everyone thought like that, wouldn’t the peers of the State Preceptor die of depression? Guan Li, what is your purpose of cultivating? Meng Qingqiu]

[Purpose of cultivation? I haven’t really thought about it. My family wants me to cultivate; they set the cultivation plan and goals. Guan Li]

[Then starting today, I will set a cultivation goal for you, can you achieve it? Meng Qingqiu]

[Whatever you command, Senior Sister, whatever you set, I will do it even if it kills me. Guan Li]

[Simple, from today forward, you must ensure today’s you is stronger than yesterday’s you, and tomorrow’s you is stronger than today’s you. Meng Qingqiu]

After reading this message from Meng Qingqiu, Guan Li took a long time to respond.

[Thank you for the guidance, Senior Sister, I understand! From today onward, today’s me must be stronger than yesterday’s me, and tomorrow’s me must be stronger than today’s me. Guan Li]

After sending this Starlight Transmission, Guan Li breathed a deep sigh of relief. The terrifying pressure Xu Jin had instilled initially seemed to vanish in an instant, and Xu Jin’s rank of seventy-four floors on the God-Killing Battlefield leaderboard turned into just a number in Guan Li’s eyes.

His spirits restored, his confidence restored.

Taking a quick glance at the God-Killing Battlefield leaderboard, Guan Li decisively left to go cultivate.

Today, I must be stronger than yesterday’s me!

In contrast to Guan Li, Meng Qingqiu, and Yuan Feiqing, Yan Chen and Lv Kun had completely different reactions.

Yan Chen, watching Xu Jin’s continuously rising ranking, clenched his fists tightly.

"How could he possibly be this strong?"

"A First Layer Refining Star, how could he possibly be this strong?

I shouldn’t be weaker than him, I’m already at the Third Layer."

Muttering to himself, Yan Chen also stepped into the God-Killing Battlefield, aiming to break through the ranks.

Lv Kun watched the changing leaderboard with a sinister expression.

The pride from these past few days since he had become the disciple of Academician Fang Shihan, and the comfort from actually enjoying the treatment of a True Disciple during past days, were instantly blasted clean by Xu Jin’s explosive ranking.
