Chapter 167 Love and Friendship

"This...this...this is...?" Wu Ren stared wide-eyed at Kuang Zheng, muttering to himself in astonishment.

He could clearly feel the powerful, despair-inducing energy surging continuously from Kuang Zheng's body, a power dozens of times stronger than before.

If the previous Kuang Zheng was only slightly stronger than him, the current Kuang Zheng is already far superior.

He couldn't believe that Kuang Zheng had actually made it through, and not only that, he had even achieved a huge breakthrough.

Wu Ren was stunned by his teammates. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and began to mutter mechanically to himself.

After receiving emergency treatment, Ying Yue finally woke up.

The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to instinctively search for his lover, Kuang Zheng, whom he had been deeply missing all this time.

At this moment, Kuang Zheng not only woke up, but was also hugging himself tightly.

Ying Yue couldn't believe her eyes. She murmured, "I... this... is this a dream?... It must be... it must be. I must be missing Zheng Ge'er too much."

When he truly felt his lover's strong heartbeat and familiar scent, Ying Yue finally believed everything that was happening before his eyes.

Tears gushed out like pearls from a broken string;

"Zheng-ge'er, it really is you! You're really awake! You're awake, you're awake! Waaaaah..."

She held her lover tightly with all her might, afraid that if she let go, everything would suddenly disappear.

Kuang Zheng, being considerate and understanding, cooperated with his lover, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Although he had experienced countless life-or-death situations during this period, the girl in front of him was also exhausted from worrying about his safety.

Wu Ren stood aside watching the two embrace and weep, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

"Finally, you made it through! It's good that you're awake! It's good that you're awake!"

After confirming that everything before her eyes was real, Ying Yue was overwhelmed with boundless joy.

A radiant smile, as beautiful as spring flowers, blossomed on her pretty face. The longing she had felt for over a hundred days had finally been rewarded. At that moment, she felt like the happiest person in the world.

When Ying Yue learned that her beloved had not only woken up, but had also miraculously broken through to the Golden Core Realm she had always dreamed of, she jumped and shouted with joy. She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Zheng-ge'er, you really broke through to the Golden Core Realm! That's wonderful, wonderful!"

That clear, melodious laughter, like the sound of silver bells, echoed in this tranquil space, lingering for a long time.

Kuang Zheng smiled as he looked at his overjoyed lover and partners, who were so excited they were almost incoherent, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He cherished this bond of shared joys and sorrows, and unwavering loyalty in the face of life and death.

Looking back on the hardships of this period, Kuang Zheng knew that without Wu Ren and Ying Yue's unwavering companionship and selfless assistance, he would never have been able to reach his current level so smoothly.

Not to mention the journey so far, even in the past hundred days and nights, without the companionship and help of the two of them, the outcome would have been completely different.

He said he had experienced countless thrilling challenges and hardships.

Every day felt like being in a hellish inferno, where the slightest misstep could lead to utter destruction.

But he never gave up and persevered with his extraordinary willpower.

This was due to his personal efforts; however, the help from Ying Yue and Wu Ren was equally crucial.

It was Ying Yue's unwavering support that allowed him to break free from the shackles of his inner demons at the final, crucial moment.

If it weren't for that helpless sobbing that entered his mind, he would have completely succumbed to despair.

Wu Ren's diligent protection ensured that he was never disturbed, allowing him to fight death with all his might.

Without their efforts, even with his strong will, Kuang Zheng would not have been able to overcome this dangerous situation.

Rather than attributing the miracle to Kuang Zheng's extraordinary willpower, it was the combined efforts of the three that brought him out of danger.

It is through their unwavering trust and mutual support that they have come this far.

Looking at Wu Ren and Ying Yue's happy faces, Kuang Zheng suddenly felt that all the pain and suffering he had endured before was worth it.

Those hardships that had once brought him to the brink of collapse seemed less unbearable in the face of this profound friendship.

But if he were to go through it again, even if he were beaten to death, he would absolutely not agree.

Because the torment and pain of being on the brink of life and death still makes me shudder when I think back on it now, but thankfully everything is in the past now.

After tidying up briefly, the three of them returned to the wooden house they had been in before.

Kuang Zheng sat at the table, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and began to recount everything that had happened to him over the past hundred days.

He described every detail in detail, from the hardships and obstacles encountered to the valuable experience gained, especially the many insights gained upon entering the Golden Core stage.

As usual, Kuang Zheng made no mention of any of the pain and hardship he had endured.

However, he spared no effort in praising his two partners for their hard work.

When Ying Yue learned that it was she who had awakened and rectified the mind that was being misled by inner demons at the most critical moment, she thought to herself how close she had come to disaster.

Wu Ren timely took Ying Yue away during the critical period of Kuang Zheng's breakthrough, thus preventing a tragedy from occurring, for which Kuang Zheng was extremely grateful.

Although it was only a short hundred days, he had so much gratitude and emotion.

Following that, Kuang Zheng elaborated on his various insights into the Golden Core Realm.

Although everyone's path of cultivation is unique, certain commonalities on this long and unknown path of cultivation still have extremely high reference value.

Wu Ren, who had been listening quietly from the sidelines, had already shown signs of a breakthrough before this.

After listening to Kuang Zheng's insightful sharing, he felt as if he had been enlightened and immediately began to break through his current bottleneck without hesitation.

At the same time, Ying Yue, who had completely gotten rid of the poison, was equally resilient.

Due to the severe damage caused by the poison, she was unable to circulate her spiritual energy smoothly, and her cultivation stagnated for a time.

But having been reborn, she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Not only did her cultivation speed not decrease at all, but it was even better than before, showing a steady upward trend.

With a Golden Core stage expert personally overseeing the process, they no longer needed to have any worries or concerns. The two were finally able to focus all their energy on this breakthrough without any distractions.
