Chapter 407 - 334: Preparing for Takeoff
Lu Lin followed Cao Ning’s gaze.
He saw ten teachers including Gao Shu Zhou Chang standing at the front, protecting the students behind them.
But their appearance had nothing to do with the word "spirited".
Each of them had messy hair, their clothes varied in style, and Gao Shu’s pants were even missing at the calves.
Looking like this, being spirited must mean being nerve-wracked.
Previously, when Fan Hong introduced Cao Ning to Lu Lin for the first time, he felt that something was off about him.
This person was not as bold and straightforward as he made himself out to be.
Now seeing him for the second time, Lu Lin felt the same way.
But since he was Brother Fan Hong’s senior, Lu Lin had to give him some respect.
"Brother Cao, you flatter me."
"Brother Yao, why are so many seniors here?"
Lu Lin asked curiously.
Sun Xiaorui’s breakthrough seemed hardly worth such a fuss.
Yao Song, Gu Shunxin, Cao Ning, Mo Jianwu... appeared before Lu Lin, mostly masters in the Star Universe Stage.
"No worries, since Sister Sun is advancing, we just thought to check how your trial is going as well."
"Frankly, I’ve been so busy that I’ve delayed coming until today."
"The kids are doing great, I noticed quite a few of them have increased their cultivation levels, right?"
Yao Song and Cao Ning continued making smalltalk with Lu Lin, while Gu Shunxin and two core disciples ran to their sons to look them over, making sure they hadn’t been harmed these past days before finally relaxing.
"Xiao Ming, come on, let’s go home with dad."
Gu Shunxin tugged at Gu Ming’s hand, ready to leave.
"No!"
Gu Ming tugged back, pulling his hand free from his father’s grasp.
"Dad, our trial hasn’t ended yet, we can’t leave now."
"Why can’t we leave, Xiao Ming? You don’t know your mom has been crying day and night, anxiously waiting for news of you these days."
"Crying day and night?"
Gu Ming looked disdainful, "If I left, my mom would probably jump for joy. She has so many friends with her, it’d be strange if she even missed me."
"This..."
Gu Shunxin was at a loss for words.
No one understands a child better than their mother, and the reverse is just as true.
In essence, Gu Ming’s mother was still someone who loved playing and having fun.
These days without Gu Ming at home, his mother almost spent every day out playing with her friends and wasn’t home at all.
"Enough, Dad, you guys go back first. Teacher Lu said our trial is over, you see, that’s the Hero Ranking Teacher Lu made for us over there."
"Besides, Teacher Lu also gave each of us a small gift, I’ll tell you when I get home."
Seeing his son acting all mysterious, Gu Shunxin couldn’t say much.
Since Gu Ming said the trial was over, at the latest they’d return to the Main Camp by tomorrow.
Earlier they rushed out in a hurry, the Star Power fluctuation caused by Sun Xiaorui’s breakthrough was so big, it was normal for people to be on edge.
He had to quickly go back and discipline his subordinates, to prevent any problems from arising.
Little did he know.
After all the core disciples left, there truly were undercurrents in the Wind Chasing Army’s Main Camp.
Sun Xiaorui hadn’t appeared yet.
The core disciples gradually departed.
And terrifying demon beasts had broken through again in North Scorching Mountain.
Wasn’t this the perfect time to stir things up?
But unexpected to those conspiring underground, Sun Xiaorui suddenly teleported above the Main Camp.
"Silence."
"Do not panic."
Just four words, and the once chaotic Main Camp amazingly quieted down.
Everyone walked out of their army tents, looking up at the slender woman with the high ponytail and face armor standing in the sky.
"Sister Sun."
"Sister Sun is back."
"Sister Sun, what was that Star Power fluctuation just now?"
"Brother Cao, Brother Yao, they all left and haven’t returned yet."
"Was it that a demon beast broke through and Sister Sun dealt with it?"
In the five years within the Battlefield Secret Realm, Sun Xiaorui built up supreme prestige in the Wind Chasing Army.
Aside from those who were deceitful to begin with, most of the disciples under her respected and adored Sun Xiaorui.
"It’s nothing."
"Just had some insight, made a casual breakthrough."
"Everyone, attend to your duties."
After speaking, Sun Xiaorui teleported back to her army tent.
She didn’t even know herself why the Star Power circulated so quickly just after cultivating beside Lu Lin.
She thought she still needed some time to advance to the late stage of Star Battle, yet nearly broke through to the Star Lord Phase.
Lu Lin, Chosen One, that’s your fate for sure.
In the Main Camp, the disciples looked at each other, eyes filled with disbelief.
What did Sister Sun say just now?
Just had some insight, made a casual breakthrough.
Sister, you’re already in the middle stage of Star Battle, could you maybe cultivate slower than us in Star Dust, Star Core Realm?
Some began realizing.
The originally middle stage Sun Xiaorui, if she broke through so casually, doesn’t that mean she’s now at the late stage of Star Battle?
With the Sect Leader candidate battle, they thought it was nearing the final showdown.
But now with Sun Xiaorui’s advancement, that showdown might not occur.
Could Sun Xiaorui, having come this far, still use the same shrinking back tactic as before?
Ideas flooded everyone’s mind one after another.
...
"What?"
