Chapter 394: Chapter 394

Perhaps this was because his body had gotten used to this place—maybe he wasn't accustomed to it before!

In the end, Xiaoyao could only give this explanation, because aside from this, there was nothing else that could explain it. If it was something else, he'd have to address it when the time came. There was no point overthinking it now.

Recently, Xiaoyao's progress was approaching King Level. These past few days he had already been at the very top of peak General Level... huh? King Level?

Xiaoyao had just been thinking that he was about to enter King Level, but while chatting with Wang Yanyu, he advanced. His advancement had no warning signs—when his strength reached the right point, he directly entered King Level.

"..." Wang Yanyu felt the change in Xiaoyao's aura and could sense the elemental energy of heaven and earth stirring for a while because of him. She looked at Xiaoyao with a very peculiar gaze, as if looking at a monster.

"You just entered King Level?" Wang Yanyu asked.

"Yes! It was about time—I thought it would be tomorrow." Xiaoyao nodded, continuing to cultivate while casually answering Wang Yanyu's question.

"I really want to ask what kind of monster you are. Before, when I told you the Divine Farmer's Art and you broke through in a short time, I could understand that as accumulated potential being released—that was luck. But what's the situation now? You entered King Level without any warning signs of breakthrough. You just directly entered King Level—this defies common sense." Wang Yanyu looked at Xiaoyao. Just what kind of existence are you?

Wang Yanyu had never heard of such a thing. When a person broke through to a major realm like King Level, they would have absolutely no warning signs of breakthrough. Normal people, even the most monstrous geniuses, would need to spend a certain amount of time charging through the barrier at this point.

This barrier-charging time varied—some people didn't need much time, not even a day, just a few hours. Others needed several days and nights, and some needed ten days to half a month, or even longer!

Most people would be stuck at such barriers for years, even a lifetime!!

The further one progressed, the longer they'd be stuck. No matter how talented, they would still get stuck—the only difference was the duration. Never had anyone heard of someone passing through so directly and smoothly, without any obstruction.

Xiaoyao's situation was truly too unreasonable. This wasn't scientific!!

"There were warning signs, but you were talking and didn't notice." Xiaoyao replied casually. He originally hadn't planned to advance today, otherwise he wouldn't have cultivated here. He didn't want people to discover this situation—it would attract unnecessary trouble.

If people knew, they'd come asking how he did it, what his secret was... sigh, just thinking about it was annoying!

That's right, he didn't need to charge through barriers. He only needed to accumulate strength—when his strength reached the right level, he would naturally break through. This was because his realm far exceeded his strength level. His current advancement only required doing one thing: cultivating and accumulating internal energy.

Why was there a deviation?

Xiaoyao thought about it and felt this deviation might still be because his cultivation speed was accelerating, which caused the early timing. It seemed he needed to prepare earlier next time—he couldn't set the timing too rigidly.

"I didn't notice?" Wang Yanyu was very doubtful. Even if she was talking, she shouldn't have been that distracted. But if it wasn't her being distracted, how else could this situation be explained?

This kind of thing indeed seemed impossible. She had seen several peerless geniuses—both young and old. When encountering such breakthroughs, they all needed time to break through. Xiaoyao didn't seem like a peerless genius, otherwise he wouldn't have just broken through to King Level now.

Forget it, I'll just assume I didn't notice!!

Wang Yanyu ultimately didn't continue investigating, because unless Xiaoyao broke through in front of her again, she would never be able to verify or prove this.

If Xiaoyao insisted on denying it, even if she watched the entire process intently, it would still be useless!

"Yes, you just didn't notice!" Xiaoyao nodded, still continuing to cultivate. Normally at this time he should stabilize his strength, but he still didn't need to.

However, stabilizing strength and cultivation were actually no different and couldn't be distinguished. He'd just act like he was stabilizing his strength—Wang Yanyu couldn't tell the difference.

At this moment, if Xiaoyao said he needed to stabilize his strength and left, although it would be a good excuse, it would make Wang Yanyu find it strange, which wouldn't be good.

When Xiaoyao had his last breakthrough, Wang Yanyu was right beside him. That time was because of fusion and potential activation, causing a great leap in strength while also requiring time, making it feel like a breakthrough. After that time, he had never left. If he acted differently this time, Wang Yanyu would definitely notice this anomaly.

This way was best—continue cultivating and accumulating strength for the next breakthrough... Who knew how many people would envy Xiaoyao's cultivation method, only needing to cultivate without worrying about realm barriers!

If people knew, countless individuals would immediately come asking for his secret. However, even if he told them this secret, they still couldn't learn it.

Xiaoyao's secret was that his realm was higher than his strength. If they could meet this standard of realm exceeding strength, they would have already broken through—why would they need to find Xiaoyao?

In fact, Xiaoyao's realm comprehension was just much faster than others, but he still needed to comprehend just like everyone else. He hadn't skipped anything that didn't need to be done—everything others had to do, he had to do too!

He was just a bit faster than others!!

However, this was only in terms of realm. In terms of strength, he was much slower than others. This would reduce much jealousy and give people psychological comfort—what's the use of having realm? You're still slower than us!

But there was still some envy. Going this route, at least the outcome was certain. This path was much easier to walk. Some people got stuck and then became completely blocked.

However, this envy was useless because no one could do what Xiaoyao did...

"Xiaoyao, let's end here for today. We'll continue tomorrow..." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI(F)ire.net

Another night ended, and at the same time, another day began. Today was still the same as yesterday with no changes. Whether because Xiaoyao obtained information about that woman or entered King Level, neither had changed his life.

However, soon, due to other matters, his life would experience a slight change...

This was several days after that night. Xiaoyao was drying books on the academy platform—this was one of his daily tasks, keeping books from getting damp and moldy.

Yunyun's voice arrived before she did, calling out to Xiaoyao.

"It's you again, little thing. Since you're here, is your master also around?" Xiaoyao looked at Yunyun beside him and smiled, understanding that if Yunyun came, then Xuanwu Lingxiao must be nearby.

Xiaoyao wasn't surprised by Xuanwu Lingxiao's appearance. This was originally the academy—many people from the Xuanwu Family came here to find books they wanted, mostly martial arts texts to help them break through or learn new martial arts.

Xiaoyao also didn't think Xuanwu Lingxiao would come looking for him. He didn't have such an important position. The previous favor had already been repaid. When they met, it was just the relationship between miss and servant—at most they'd exchange greetings.

"Yunyun..." Xuanwu Lingxiao came looking for Yunyun, discovered Xiaoyao and Yunyun beside him, and walked over.

"Miss Lingxiao, good morning!" Xiaoyao stood and bowed.

"Good morning to you too. Working?" Xuanwu Lingxiao nodded and asked casually.

"Yes!" Xiaoyao nodded.

"I'm getting a book and have to leave now. Yunyun, let's go." Xuanwu Lingxiao said flatly—not enthusiastic, but definitely not cold either, just very neutral.

"Take care!" Xiaoyao replied casually without looking at Xuanwu Lingxiao again, instead turning the book pages so each page could get some sun.

At this moment, Xiaoyao focused on looking at the content on the pages. Looking at so many books together, remembering the content of this page from all books, then turning the page to see the next one.

That's right, he was reading these books while working. These were all bottom-of-the-chest books that were frequently read—books that were regularly accessed didn't need to be brought out for drying.

These books were all ones he hadn't read, and his way of reading made it seem impossible to others. No one would think he was actually reading—who would believe someone could read so many books page by page ? How could anyone absorb it all?

But Xiaoyao could. He first memorized all the content, then reorganized it in his mind. Then the content of each book appeared in his mind. Although each book was still missing its continuation, there was no confusion whatsoever.

However, while his mind wasn't confused, the outside had become chaotic. Someone had deliberately sent the books on the ground flying, seemingly using deep internal force palm wind. To say this wasn't intentional, no one would believe it.

There was no fighting nearby, and this ground wasn't a practice stone—there was no reason for these books to be knocked away unless someone did it deliberately.

Xiaoyao looked around and saw a person standing nearby. This person seemed like a young master from here, and Xiaoyao seemed to recognize him. He immediately understood what this young master was after.

This young master was the one who had been pestering Xuanwu Lingxiao before. His actions now were undoubtedly still because of Xuanwu Lingxiao.

"Good morning, young master!"

Xiaoyao greeted him, then went to pick up the scattered books. It wasn't that he had a good temper, but he knew that getting angry about this would be useless—he could only consider himself unlucky.
