Chapter 451 Junior Sister is Too Strict, Senior Brother is Afraid
Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui actually started fighting right there in this not-so-spacious cave!
The collision of spiritual energies produced a muffled roar, and the surging air currents made the tables and chairs inside the cave vibrate and hum.
"Fifth brother, you shameless scoundrel! If it weren't for your junior sister helping you seize the power of the Heavenly Dao and assisting you in forming your Heavenly Dao Core, would you be where you are today?"
"Just because you got lucky, you think you can act tough in front of me!"
Chen Tianba launched a fierce attack while cursing loudly, his fists moving with wide, powerful, and unparalleled force.
"Hmph! Luck is also a part of strength!"
Chen Laosi, you're just jealous! Jealous that your junior sister treats me better!
Behold, the boundless ocean awaits!
Xiao Qiushui was agile and her words were sharp, deliberately targeting Chen Tianba's weaknesses. She effortlessly cast spells, causing Chen Tianba's attacks to miss repeatedly.
The two fought and argued back and forth, creating a chaotic scene.
Xiao Changkong, Ye Xinghe, and Lu Haoran looked at each other with wry smiles as they watched this scene, but did not immediately stop it.
They also wanted to know just how strong Xiao Qiushui, who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao, truly was.
However, Shen Rugo frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
Before she finished speaking, she pointed her fingers forward like a sword.
There was no grand display, no dazzling light, only two thin strands of spiritual energy, as if they possessed life, silently pierced through Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui's violent spiritual energy field.
Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui, who were locked in a fierce battle, suddenly felt their spiritual energy stagnate, as if a rushing river had been frozen in an instant. Their fierce momentum quickly dissipated, and their punches and palms, which they had thrown out, stopped limply in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch further.
Both of them showed expressions of horror at the same time, frozen in place, unable to move.
Silence! Deathly silence!
Not only Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui, but also Xiao Changkong, Ye Xinghe and Lu Haoran who were watching widened their eyes instantly, their faces filled with disbelief!
One move! Just one move!
Junior Sister didn't even get up; she simply pointed a finger and simultaneously suppressed Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui, who were both attacking at full strength!
How can this be? !
Even though Xiao Qiushui was only a beginner in the Golden Core stage, she was still a genuine Golden Core cultivator, suppressing two Golden Core cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage!
Moreover, he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, whose strength far surpasses that of his peers!
"hiss……"
Ye Xinghe gasped.
"This……"
Lu Haoran's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Even the most composed Xiao Changkong's pupils contracted sharply, his gaze towards Shen Rugo filled with shock.
"Junior Sister..."
"How...how did you do that?"
Xiao Qiushui's voice was hoarse, and her face was full of disbelief.
Chen Tianba remained silent, but the shock in his eyes was equally undisguised.
Shen Rugo did not answer their questions, but simply withdrew her fingers and released the two of them from their restraints.
She turned her gaze to Xiao Changkong, Ye Xinghe, and Lu Haoran: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, what about you?"
Xiao Changkong took a deep breath and released his aura first. He was at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, just one step away from the peak.
He smiled wryly and said, "Junior Sister, I am ashamed."
Ye Xinghe followed closely behind, revealing the aura of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Calm and composed, he completed his mission.
Lu Haoran also released the aura of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. Although it was not as fierce as Chen Tianba's, it was more refined and enduring. He had also completed his mission.
Outside the cave, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile and other demonic beasts, who had been eavesdropping on the sounds inside, felt the golden core aura erupting one after another inside, especially Xiao Qiushui's power imbued with the essence of the Heavenly Dao, and their souls trembled.
"Five Golden Core cultivators, five Golden Core cultivators under the age of twenty?"
"This is terrifying! Just what kind of sect is this Star Palace?"
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile groaned inwardly, secretly relieved that it hadn't looked down on these human cultivators because of their low cultivation level.
Just as the demons were reeling from the shock, a cold laugh came from inside the cave: "Too slow!"
These three words were like icicles, startling all the demonic beasts.
"Besides Fifth Senior Brother exceeding the target, Second and Third Senior Brothers barely met the target, Eldest Senior Brother's progress is not up to par, Fourth Senior Brother, you broke through to the mid-stage of Golden Core, which seems fast, but has your combat power made a qualitative leap?"
Shen Rugo's voice was merciless, "At this rate, when will you be able to bring glory to the Star Palace? When will you be able to take revenge on the Lingxiao Pavilion?"
Xiao Changkong and the other four blushed with embarrassment, especially Chen Tianba and Xiao Changkong, who lowered their heads in shame.
"It seems the previous tasks were too lenient." Shen Rugo stood up. "Now, I'll redefine the tasks!"
Upon hearing this, the five brothers almost simultaneously shuddered and instinctively wanted to turn around and run away!
"Whoever leaves, don't ever come back to see me again."
Shen Rugo spoke slowly, her voice not loud, but it precisely stopped the five people in their tracks.
She knew that this was the weakness of her five senior brothers.
The five of them forced smiles that looked more like grimaces as they slowly turned around, their hearts pounding with fear as they awaited Shen Rugo's new task.
Shen Rugo scanned the five people:
"Senior Brother Xiao Changkong, you must break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage within six months."
"Second Senior Brother Ye Xinghe, stabilize your late-stage Golden Core realm within three months and strive to break through to the peak."
"Third Senior Brother Lu Haoran, achieve the mid-stage of Golden Core perfection within six months, and strive to break through to the late stage."
"Fourth Senior Brother Chen Tianba, within half a year, not only must you achieve the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but your physical body must also reach a higher level!"
"Fifth Senior Brother Xiao Qiushui, don't be smug. Although you are a Heavenly Dao Golden Core cultivator, your realm is not yet stable. You need to completely stabilize your realm within half a year and strive to break through to the middle stage."
Every time Shen Rugo mentioned someone, that person's expression stiffened a little more.
This task is more than twice as difficult as before! It's practically pushing them to their limits.
After all, once you reach the Golden Core realm, breaking through each minor realm becomes extremely difficult. Many ordinary cultivators would find it impossible to break through a realm in less than ten or even several decades, let alone half a year or a year.
"Junior Sister, isn't this a bit..."
Xiao Qiushui tried to bargain.
"Hmm? Fifth Senior Brother, you have a problem with that?"
Shen Rugo glanced at them.
Xiao Qiushui immediately swallowed back what she was about to say.
"Five senior brothers, did you all hear that clearly?"
Shen Rugo asked with a stern face.
"Listen, I heard you clearly..."
The five replied dejectedly, their earlier excitement and exhilaration completely gone.
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't we practice some more?"
Shen Rugo suddenly revealed a sweet smile.
"No! Let's go now, let's go cultivate now, and we definitely won't let our junior sister down!"
The five people instantly transformed into five streaks of light, rushing out of the cave and returning to their respective mountain peaks.
Looking in the direction where her senior brothers disappeared, Shen Rugo's lips curled into a smug smile: "These five senior brothers are really too cute, and they are too good to me. What's more, they are also so handsome."
However, in the cultivation world, strength is the only true measure of success. Only through such strict requirements can they grow rapidly and survive better in this cruel world of cultivation.
Only in this way can the Star Palace rise more quickly, and only then can they keep up with my pace, allowing me to lead them into that higher realm of cultivation.
