I Am Shocked That You Call This Cultivation

Brother Xiong guided Chen Pingan around the huge campus to help him get familiar with the school environment.

“We’ve already been to the school canteen, teaching building, and the sports center. Do you still remember?” Brother Xiong asked worriedly.

The school was vast, and the color and structure of the buildings were also similar. Even after walking through it once, it would still be very difficult to remember it completely. The same buildings might not even be recognizable on the way back.

“Brother Xiong, don’t worry. I’ll just ask around if I can’t find the buildings tomorrow.”

Chen Pingan smiled awkwardly. Ever since he started cultivating, he had developed a photographic memory. In his eyes, remembering these buildings was child’s play.

The two of them walked to a building. This building had very bland colors and was very different from the colorful buildings around them. Chen Pingan asked curiously, “What is this building?”

“This is where our school’s celebrity rankings Index is located. In order to motivate the students and teachers, the principal and the school’s higher-ups specially built a tall building here to record the top students and teachers of the school since it was founded.”

“You can even find a statue of me inside there.”

Brother Xiong smiled smugly, his expression almost made it seem like he was asking for a beating.

“They even built a statue for someone like you?”

Chen Pingan was surprised and added, “It looks like the quality of the celebrity rankings isn’t too good.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? In the past, I’ve even nurtured a few elites of the country. I was the one who helped them win all kinds of long-distance running competitions in the province. If not me, who else would they include in the rankings?”

Brother Xiong felt wronged. Although he was a little arrogant, every word he said was the truth. He was the famous long-distance race coach of the Jin Gang Province.

At a loss of words, Chen Pingjing smiled. He felt that the things Brother Xiong said did not really fit well with his image.

“Alright, stop talking about your glorious history. I’m sick of hearing it. Tell me more about the capable elites that have appeared in this school.”

Brother Xiong snorted unhappily and said unwillingly, “I’ve only been in school for three to four years. There are simply too many elites in the school. I can’t remember them all.”

“I’ll tell you a few. Ye Beixuan, the young man who broke the world record a few days ago, was trained by our school. You didn’t know that, did you?”

Although he was talking about other people’s achievements, Brother Xiong had a proud look on his face when he talked about the students who graduated from his school.

However, Brother Xiong felt as if the school’s achievements were his own.

“Yes, yes, I didn’t know that. Are there any other elites?”

Chen Pingan remembered hearing about the sprint champion. But it would still be a bit lacking if the school only had one sprint champion.

“Of course, I only mentioned him casually. There are countless people who are better than him in school.”

Chen Pingan’s interest was piqued. Better than Ye Beixuan?

“Do you know how long it takes for an ordinary person to break through from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Body Integration Stage?”

Brother Xiong kept him guessing.

Chen Pingan shook his head. In a traditional cultivation world, there were very few Body Integration Stage, Mahayana Stage, and Tribulation Stage cultivators. They were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. This was because only a small portion of cultivators were capable of breaking through the chains that bound the realms.

He was not sure how different this world was from a traditional cultivation world. Perhaps it didn’t even have any difference and was exactly the same.

Brother Xiong, who knew what the answer was, mysteriously extended five fingers.

“Fifty years?” Chen Pingan said with uncertainty.

Brother Xiong shook his head and stopped beating around the bush. He said, “At least 70 years.”

“How is that related to the five fingers?”

Chen Pingan did not expect this answer. How was this answer related to the five fingers Brother Xiong extended?

“It isn’t related. I just want to show you my slender jade-like hands. Don’t they look like the fingers described in ancient times?”

Brother Xiong admired it alone with an intoxicated look.

“…”

Chen Pingan pulled away from him and started walking even faster, not wanting to be associated with this weirdo.

“Pingan, wait for me. Why are you walking so fast?”

When Brother Xiong said this, he did not try to keep his voice down. His voice was rough and loud, attracting the attention of the students beside him.

“Stay away from me, you sick pervert.”

“Aiya, I was just joking.”

Brother Xiong put his arm around Chen Pingan, who was a head shorter than him, and continued to talk about the original topic. “Do you know that our school even produced a genius? After reaching the elementary level of the Qi Refinement Stage, it only took twenty years for him to reach the Body Integration Realm!”

“At that time, the entire country was in an uproar. Now, he seems to be at the Tribulation Stage and has left Yang City. I’m not too sure what he’s doing now.”

Chen Pingan looked at Brother Xiong in shock. How was that possible?

He was already at the Body Integration Stage in his twenties, and he broke through to the Tribulation Stage before the age of forty?

This was not a genius, but a monster of the cultivation world!

“Don’t look at me. I didn’t make this up. You can ask anyone in Yang City. Everybody knows about Li Hao!”

“A cultivation genius!”

Brother Xiong gave the highest affirmation to Li Hao. That kind of genius should be doing extremely well in some big province now.

Chen Pingan took a deep breath. He should have known that there were many experts in this world.

However, the people he came into contact with were too weak. Naturally, he had measured the world based on the people around him. He was like a frog at the bottom of a well. His vision was too short!

There were so many experts hidden in the Yang City, not to mention the countless experts in the vastness of the outside world. Cultivators outside the Yang City who were ahead of all of them might have even figured out the realm above the Tribulation Stage.

When he thought about it carefully, Chen Pingan’s entire body shivered. It wasn’t that the people of this world were too weak, but rather that he didn’t have the chance to truly come into contact with experts.

“The one who left the deepest impression on me is Teacher Gu. He entered the Tribulation Stage at the age of 50. But you won’t get the chance to see him.”

Brother Xiong did not notice the strange expression on the faces of the people around him. The more he spoke, the more he got carried away. If it wasn’t for the fact that his memory wasn’t too good, he would have definitely told Chen Pingan about all the famous elites in the school.

“Why? Is Teacher Gu not teaching here anymore?”

Chen Pingan’s expression eased a little. After witnessing the two phenomena caused by the expert in the neighborhood,, his tolerance for shock had increased greatly.

“No, he disappeared. He had vanished completely from this world.”

When Brother Xiong said this, he didn’t feel regretful but was instead envious.

“Back then, many people in Yang City saw an immortal slowly ascending and disappearing into the sky.”

“That was Teacher Gu. Many specialists speculate that Teacher Gu has figured out the realm above the Tribulation Stage and ascended to the Heaven Realm!”

A realm above the Tribulation Stage?

Teacher Gu was even stronger than the expert in the neighborhood!

The shock in Chen Pingan’s heart could not be described with words. After the past few days, his world view had been completely overturned. Apparently, there were many terrifying experts hidden in this world!

“There are also many elite talents. For example, the world record for diving was broken by one of our students.”

Brother Xiong was still talking to himself. He felt that he wouldn’t be satisfied unless he finished talking about all the celebrities of the school.

Chen Pingan’s respect for the school rose in his heart after listening to Brother Xiong.

Not only did this school have a strong foundation, it also had many strong people and a rich history!
