Chapter 420: 420,?The Rapidly Advancing Man and the Cat?

After leveling up three times in a row, Lu Xun nearly used up all his experience points in his character stat panel.

Advancing directly from level 39 to 42 wasn’t considered a minor breakthrough, but a major one!

Breaking through from the third realm to the fourth realm brings a significant power surge. This is especially true for Lu Xun, who cultivates all five elements.

Instantaneously, the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge wildly. Spiritual energy tides rolled in from all directions like wild waves, forcing players near Lu Xun to retreat rapidly.

Under the rolling spiritual energy tide, they couldn’t even stand their ground.

“What the hell? Is this a typhoon? Why am I, a cultivator, being terrified of a typhoon?”

“Typhoon my ass! This is a spiritual energy tide, you ignoramus!”

“Everyone back off, avoid causing a stampede!”

“A stampede is nothing, we’ll just respawn!”

“Get away from the Purple Palace, this breakthrough is too terrifying, we don’t want any innocent bystanders to get hurt!”

After the spiritual energy tide emerged, all the players began chattering immediately.

Meanwhile, an open space was cleared around Lu Xun, a domain that seemed exclusively for him where no one else could enter.

For Lu Xun, leveling up several times at once was an unusual event.

He currently had no intention of spending experience points elsewhere and prioritized leveling up his character.

The foreign invasion pressured him immensely. He needed to increase his character level to better protect himself.

After advancing to the fourth realm, Lu Xun clearly felt the difference.

Firstly, the spiritual power within his body was far more robust than before.

If previously it was like a small bamboo stick, now it was like a hefty pole.

The abundant Five Elements Spiritual Power gave him a great sense of security, completely turning his mana bar around.

Secondly, his Divine Sense range was significantly larger, and his control had improved.

These two enhancements combined were extremely terrifying.

Having more spiritual power meant that Lu Xun could feed more Sword Qi into his sword sheath every day.

Oh, how fortunate is the sword sheath.

Increased Divine Sense meant he could control and withdraw larger amounts of Sword Qi.

This synergistic cycle ultimately resulted in a terrifying fighting power.

His unique fighting style allowed him to leverage these substantial power increases in obliterating ways!

Not to mention that his Sword Cultivating Technique also gives him a 100% critical hit…

Following the absorption of the incoming spiritual energy by Lu Xun, traces of mist began to form around him.

Previously, the range of his Mist Sword was about one mile. Now, it expanded to 1.5 miles.

It may have just been an addition of 0.5 mile, but for those good at math, you would understand how vast the increase in area was.

The sudden appearance of the mist intrigued the players.

Because the mist produced by the Mist Sword was different from regular fog in both appearance and atmosphere.

It was hard to describe the peculiar sensation, after all, it wasn’t really fog, but a manifestation of Sword Intent which looked like fog.

Players near to it tried to reach out and touch the dispersing mist. However, the moment they got a bit close, they started losing health rapidly.

“Damn! We can’t touch this mist!” The players who lost health started shouting.

Of course, some foolish players found it thrilling to dance with death.

They kept hopping back and forth, right on the edge of the fog, clearly enjoying themselves.

Coincidentally, one of the players who had criticized Lu Xun was also toying with his fate.

“Let’s use you to test the waters.” Lu Xun, with his eyes closed, thought to himself.

The mist near this player started swirling.

The movement of the mist resembled the flowing of smoke under a light. Despite being a beautiful and picturesque scene, it transformed into a magician’s trick.

—The disappearing health bar magic trick!

This critic’s health bar was instantly drained, causing him to respawn.

Every time a player dies, they lose some experience points which was a significant drawback.

The most amusing part was, he respawned at the same spot.

The location where he respawned was still enveloped by the mist.

This player, who was quite notorious for his harsh statements on the forum, tried all he could to escape from the mist. After much rolling and tumbling, he finally made it out.

Even so, he used up his three respawning chances and all his experience points!

You might be tough online, but in reality, you’re as useless as they come!

His experience cautioned the other foolish players, ceasing their thrill-seeking behaviors.

Ordinarily fooling around was fine, losing a respawn chance or some experience points wasn’t a big deal.

But don’t forget, they traveled a long way to learn new skills at the Purple Palace.

If they ran out of experience points, then what’s the point of learning?

Doesn’t this mean that even if we were chosen by the Purple Palace, we wouldn’t have a chance to learn the skills?

“Don’t be an idiot like him, let’s all be more cautious.” Everyone silently thought to themselves.

This critic was devastated. He had almost lost all his experience points – the impact was massive!

Xiao Long Bao, watching the scene, whispered to Lu Xiaoyu, “Little Fish, I remember this guy; he’s the one with the foulest mouth on the forum!”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu glanced at the man, then turned to look back at the vague figure shrouded in mist.

By now, no one else remained in the mist besides Lu Xun.

After about five minutes, Lu Xun fully digested all he had gained from this breakthrough.

He stood at the center of the fog, waving his hand gently, and a path appeared in the midst of the fog.

There was an unobstructed path in front of him, with fog rolling and twisting on both sides of the path.

He walked slowly along this path, and people watching from a distance found the scene profoundly moving.

Lu Xun walked to Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao, smiled and said, “You should enter the city and rest first.”

Then, he disappeared right there.

Along with his disappearance, the rolling sea of fog also disappeared!

Only Lu Xun’s clear voice echoed in the world: “I will return here to preach at dawn tomorrow!”

The players looked at each other. Those who hadn’t acquired new skills would have to return tomorrow.

At the same time, they understood why such a great benefit was arranged in the game.

Because not only was the Purple Palace preaching, they were also understanding the way of cultivation!

…

…

As for what the players were conjecturing, Lu Xun didn’t care at the moment.

No matter how much they speculated, they certainly would never think he was swindling them.

Now, Lu Xun sat on a paper crane, wandering in the sky, feeling the surging power in his body.

“At level 42, I have the ability to kill most of the Level 5 foreign creatures.” Lu Xun murmured to himself.

Previously, he had participated in several large battles against these foreign creatures, but he had never independently killed a high-level one.

Because his strength was insufficient, the difficulty was too high.

Now it’s different, he already has the strength.

Furthermore, his level is estimated to rise a few more times in the upcoming days!

“What a pity that the experience points I have to spend to level up are far too high. Otherwise, I could quickly reach Level 50 and become a Great Cultivator!” He sighed.

Once his comprehensive strength at the present stage becomes that of a Great Cultivator, it would be exceptionally terrifying.

The Fifth Realm is a significant leap, which will bring about qualitative changes!

“At Level 55, I should have the ability to confront Mao Nanbei of The Sixth Realm, correct?” Lu Xun estimated in his heart.

Although after Level 50, every level up generates a huge gap, he thinks that his Level 55 self should have almost enough strength for a cross-level challenge.

“At that time, I will be able to take on Mao forcefully!” Lu Xun thought about the future, and it was bright.

Ah, this is indeed one of the motivations for cultivation!

With this thought, he began to miss the people on the back hill.

In addition to missing the ladies on the back hill, he even missed Mr. Puchou and his extremely ugly Third Senior Brother.

That place was his home too.

“I wonder what they have been up to during this time?” Lu Xun wondered.

…

…

Back on the hill of the Demon Sect, at the Small Study.

After finishing today’s cultivation, Ji Li and Lin Chan were cutting fruit outside the door of the Small Study.

This was a habit brought by Lu Xun, which the people on the back hill slowly got used to.

Suddenly, a huge black cat-like phantom appeared.

The phantom was about five meters high, covering the entire Small Study.

The phantom was blurry, the only clear part being its pair of pupils.

Inside these pupils, nine strands of flame converged.

Six of them were semi-transparent, while the other three were burning fiercely!

The phantom exerted an intense pressure, just like a deity among humans!

This was the phantom of the Monster Clan’s Great Saint, the phantom of the Ninth Realm!

For a moment, Ji Li and Lin Chan were struggling to catch their breath, their chests heaving.

However, one’s heaving was magnificent, the other’s quite substantial, the scenes were different to a certain extent.

Fortunately, the phantom didn’t last long. After about ten breaths, the phantom disappeared.

Soon after, a loli voice came from the Small Study:

“Finally, I have returned to my peak! And even broken through a minor realm! Hahahaha, meow!”

Mao Nanbei’s voice came out from the house, she had restored her cultivation base to the Sixth Realm.

According to the agreement with the master, as long as she restores her cultivation, the master will allow her to leave the mountain.

“Delicious food… no, Little Junior Brother! I’ll be there soon!” Mao Nanbei was extremely excited, standing on her bed and shaking her butt.

Even after her transformation, she didn’t have a tail, but her movements were still rhythmic.

In recent days, she had gradually learned about the current situation of the Heavenly Dust Continent.

The little loli still wanted to kill the foreign creatures.

But her motivation is more pure, simpler.

“I want to cuddle up with my Little Junior Brother and have him cook for me for the rest of my life, slurp!”

“But it seems that Little Junior Brother’s mind is filled with you foreigners right now.”

“I’m a bit jealous.”

“So…”

“I’m definitely going to wipe you all out!”

She shook the two bells on her wrist, and the demon blade “”Bodhisattva’s Hoar”” made a crisp and pleasant sound.
