Chapter 16
C16 – Shock
Ruan Huan, who was originally the number one genius of the Ruan family, looked at Ruan Xiude in shock.
He was at the peak of the ninth layer of the Body Refining Stage. Since the Large Competition was approaching and he was the son of the Patriarch, he had received a lot of cultivation resources. He had successfully broken through to the Enlightenment Stage.
He originally thought that after breaking through to the Enlightenment Stage, he would be able to compare to Ruan Xiude and even surpass him.
After all, there was a huge gap between the Enlightenment Stage and the Body Refining Stage.
However, he did not expect that in just half a month, Ruan Xiude had broken through again and again. He had broken through from the seventh layer of the Body Refining Stage to the Enlightenment Stage.
This scene was truly shocking. He could not believe it.
However, since it had happened in front of his eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
Previously, Ruan Xiude had fought against someone who was stronger than him.
But now, he had even reached the same level as him.
Thinking of this, Ruan Huan, who had just regained his senses, could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
He no longer had the thought of fighting against him.
When Ruan Xiude was still at the seventh layer of the Body Refining, he had already defeated him.
Now, the two of them were at the same level.
It was impossible for him to be Ruan Xiude’s opponent.
At the same time, he had a certain understanding of Ruan Xiude’s talent.
Perhaps it was because Ruan Xiude was just a little genius and did not have enough cultivation resources, so his talent could not be fully displayed.
After he became the chief disciple, his cultivation resources became abundant.
Ruan Xiude had broken through again and again in half a month’s time, reaching the Enlightenment Stage.
It could be seen that his talent was definitely extraordinary.
He had far surpassed him.
It should be said that Ruan Xiude was the true number one genius of the Ruan family, and even the number one genius of the entire Dirtwich City.
Ruan Huan was not jealous of this. Instead, he was only envious and happy.
After all, talent in martial arts was inborn.
He was just a little envious and a little happy.
Ruan Xiude was a disciple of the Ruan family. His talent had reached the number one in the Dirtwich City. No one could compare to him.
His future achievements would definitely be extraordinary.
At that time, if Ruan Xiude helped the Ruan family, as a disciple of the Ruan family, he would be able to benefit a lot.
Perhaps, he could use this opportunity to improve even more.
He was a little happy.
“Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the shocking energy of the Qi Gathering Stage Ruan Rui +487.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining Qi Gathering Stage Ruan Cong’s shocking energy +500.”
Ruan Xiude looked at the energy points that were constantly increasing in the attribute panel with a smile.
Originally, the Enlightenment Stage was a process to train a person’s physique and strengthen the person’s Vitality.
If he did not reveal his aura, no one other than Ruan Yongsi, who was at the Condensation Spin Stage, would be able to detect it.
However, he still revealed a trace of his aura, allowing Ruan Rui and the others to sense it.
He did this to gain these energy points.
It seemed that his harvest was not small.
Immediately after, Ruan Xiude smiled faintly and said, “This is nothing. Yueya and Ruan Huan have both broken through to the Enlightenment Stage.”
These were discovered by him through the attribute panel.
Immediately, a small commotion broke out on the stage.
The disciples looked at Ruan Yueya and Ruan Huan.
However, most of them were still paying attention to Ruan Xiude.
Compared to these two, Ruan Xiude’s cultivation realm was much higher, and the shock he brought was even greater.
Seeing that Ruan Xiude had already reached the Enlightenment Stage, Head Elder Ruan Rui was even more satisfied.
“This is different. This time, you have broken through to the Enlightenment Stage. When the competition begins, we can show the other three great powers some colors.”
The surrounding upper echelons of the Ruan family all smiled and nodded.
Ruan Xiude was at the seventh layer of the Body Refining Realm, but he was able to defeat Ruan Huan, who was at the peak of the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm.
Now, he had broken through to the Enlightenment Stage.
His strength had increased by a lot.
At this moment, Ruan Huan had just broken through to the Enlightenment Stage not long ago. The first geniuses of the other three great powers were originally at the same level as Ruan Xiude, so their strength should be about the same.
These people were all at the same level, and Ruan Xiude was obviously the most talented among them.
If nothing unexpected happened, his strength would also be the strongest.
Thus, they were very confident in Ruan Xiude.
Even the Head Elder Ruan Cong, who used to have some prejudice against Ruan Xiude because of Ruan Yingfa, revealed a smile.
At this moment, he also revealed a smile.
Because this time, Ruan Xiude had once again revealed a talent that far surpassed what Ruan Yingfa could compare with.
Ruan Xiude would leave the Ruan family sooner or later, and he would even leave the Dirtwich.
Therefore, there was no longer any grudge between the two of them.
He no longer had any prejudice against Ruan Xiude.
When Ruan Cong thought of Ruan Xiude’s great talent, he even considered whether he should let Ruan Yingfa apologize to Ruan Xiude to eliminate the grudge between the two of them.
Previously, Ruan Yingfa had framed Ruan Xiude many times.
If Ruan Xiude became stronger in the future, it would be troublesome if Ruan Xiude came to seek revenge.
However, as the Head Elder, he could not let go of his pride. He could not let his grandson apologize to Ruan Xiude.
At this time, the Patriarch Ruan Rui’s voice sounded.
“Everyone is here. Let’s go!”
After saying that, he walked in front of the crowd with a smile on his face. They were heading towards the Lord’s Mansion.
Ruan Yongsi was only following behind Ruan Rui. After him was Head Elder.
Next was the Chief Disciple, Ruan Xiude.
Ruan Yueya was still beside him, hugging his arm tightly.
The rest of the upper echelons and disciples of the Ruan family followed behind them.
Dirtwich City was not small.
Among the four strongest forces in Dirtwich City, the Ruan family was ranked second.
They were all in the core area of Dirtwich City.
The distance between the two places was not far.
Therefore, they arrived not long after.
After entering the Lord’s Mansion, the Ruan family was brought to a plaza.
This place was more than twice as big as the Combat Arena of the Ruan family.
Because all kinds of competitions were held in the Lord’s Mansion, this place was specially built to be very wide and sturdy.
By the time the people from the Ruan family arrived, the Lord’s Mansion, the Huo family, and the Qi family had already arrived.
The arrival of the people from the Ruan family immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Currently, the Ruan family was the most influential force among the four major forces. Even the influence of the Lord’s Mansion was not even half as great as the Ruan family.
Ruan Yongsi, the strongest person in Dirtwich, was born in the Ruan family.
Now, even the number one genius of Dirtwich, Ruan Xiude, was in the Ruan family.
Whether it was the strongest person in the current Dirtwich or the strongest person in the future, they would all come from the Ruan family.
Naturally, they were the focus of attention.
In a corner of the plaza, the young geniuses of the other three major forces were gathered together.
Their gazes were focused on the people from the Ruan family who had just arrived.
As the Ruan family continued to grow, they threatened the dignity of the Lord’s Mansion.
Therefore, the three major forces had already formed an alliance.
As a result, their outstanding disciples had gathered together.
“Deng Kai, look, that person is Ruan Xiude.”
Among them, Qi Liang, the number one genius of the Qi family, said to the number one genius of the Lord’s Mansion, Deng Kai. He even pointed at Ruan Xiude in the crowd.
