Chapter 1204 1204: Phenomenon in the Bamboo Forest!
"Betting?"Jian Shisi and the others were puzzled.
"How about this." Heavenly River Taoist spoke again, "You all think my master has low talent, so I bet that his cultivation will break through this month, how about that?"
"Fine!"
Jian Shisi's eyes gleamed with excitement, "Then we'll bet he won't break through!"
"It's a deal then."
Heavenly River Taoist smiled and said, "If I win, you will drop your arrogance, kneel and apologize to my master, and remain loyal to him. If you win, whatever you say goes, how about that?"
"It's a deal!!"
Jian Shisi agreed without hesitation.
The other three had no objections, their eyes glowing with excitement.
In their view, Qin Feng's talent was too ordinary. At twenty-something, he's only a Grade One Grandmaster, which may be considered a unique talent in the Mortal World but is too common in the Hidden World.
Such talent makes it impossible to break through after one month of seclusion.
Even with Miss Yiyi's guidance on cultivation techniques, he still wouldn't break through.
They were very certain of this!
"Great, we'll soon see him embarrassed!" Jian Shisi and others laughed.
Heavenly River Taoist just smiled and continued eating.
Clearly.
He wasn't worried at all about Qin Feng's talent.
The reason he placed a bet instead of using force was that he knew they came from prestigious families, with outstanding talent at a young age, deep down they looked down on Five Rings Mountain, Heavenly King Palace, and especially Lord Qin.
If forced, they would only rebel more.
It's better to let them lose willingly.
Then they would become obedient.
"Now that the month is up, I suppose Lord Qin will soon finish his seclusion. Why don't we go wait for him?" Jian Shisi suggested.
"Alright, I think we should!"
Jian Ba and the other two agreed.
They couldn't wait to see Qin Feng embarrassed.
"Since you're eager to kneel and apologize, let's go!" Heavenly River Taoist put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.
"..."
Their faces turned sour at his confident demeanor.
At that moment.
Other people from Five Rings Mountain began entering for their meal, discussing among themselves.
"It's a miracle!"
"Indeed, who would've thought the bamboo forest grew ten meters tall overnight, it's astonishing!"
"I heard that Lord Qin has been in seclusion in the bamboo forest, could this have something to do with him?"
"Definitely related! Why else would the bamboo forest transform so drastically?"
"..."
Jian Shisi and others exchanged glances.
The bamboo forest suddenly growing ten meters overnight is an anomaly!
Such phenomena usually occur during breakthroughs!
"Could it be... he really broke through?" Tang Wuying said in surprise.
Jian Shisi waved his hand dismissively, "Impossible! Ordinary Grandmaster Level breakthroughs don't cause such phenomena, where surrounding life suddenly flourishes. This level of phenomena only occurs when an Eighth-grade Grandmaster breaks through to become a Ninth Grade Grandmaster, don't forget he's only a Grade One Grandmaster."
"Right, I was overthinking."
Tang Wuying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The four, along with Heavenly River Taoist, headed towards the bamboo forest.
When they arrived in front of the forest.
Looking at the bamboo forest, they couldn't help but marvel.
"So tall! This bamboo forest was just twenty meters before, now it's probably thirty or forty meters tall..."
"Yes! And it seems to be infused with potent Spiritual Energy and is still growing vigorously!"
"What on earth is going on?"
"..."
"Humph!" Jian Shisi said coldly, "No matter what, it can't be a phenomena from his breakthrough."
"Indeed!!"
The other three agreed wholeheartedly.
Suddenly.
The gentle breeze blew, and the bamboo forest rustled, creating a pleasant sound that was quite soothing.
Then.
Everyone saw a man walking slowly from within.
The man had light steps, eyebrows like swords, appearing as a Banished Immortal descending from the heavens, possessing unparalleled grace!
"Oh?"
Qin Feng wore a kind and sunny smile as he approached them, saying, "I didn't expect you four to be the first to greet me after my seclusion, what a surprise, it seems I misjudged you."
"..."
Jian Shisi and the others were completely stunned.
They, now Ninth Grade Grandmasters, instantly sensed that Qin Feng truly had broken through!
"You all, hurry and kneel before my master!"
Heavenly River Taoist said proudly in a harsh voice.
This is even better than he expected.
Qin Feng not only broke through.
But also broke through two realms in succession, now a Third Grade Grandmaster!
This is why the bamboo forest displayed phenomena.
"What happened?"
Qin Feng asked Heavenly River Taoist.
Heavenly River Taoist smiled flatteringly and explained the bet.
Qin Feng, upon hearing this, waved his hand, saying, "Why make things difficult for people? I always win others over with virtue, never with coercive methods, don't do this again, alright!"
Although saying this, his face showed a radiant smile, hands behind his back, cheerfully looking at Jian Shisi and the others.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with Heavenly River Taoist's efficiency.
"You all, don't listen to his nonsense, no need to confess any mistakes, in the future..."
Qin Feng then addressed Jian Shisi and the others.
He never truly intended to make them kneel, knowing that such methods wouldn't capture their hearts. Coming from prestigious families, face matters most to them, so he gave them that respect.
Unexpectedly.
Just as he spoke halfway, Jian Shisi, leading the four, suddenly knelt down with a "thud," and bowed their heads, "Lord Qin, we're sorry, we were wrong before...."
"Good that you know your mistake!"
Heavenly River Taoist proudly said, "Fine, my master won't hold grudges and won't stoop to your level."
Yet.
The four didn't rise, keeping their heads very low.
Heavenly River Taoist naturally knew the reason.
The reason was Qin Feng breaking through two levels in succession, becoming a Third Grade Grandmaster!
Though his cultivation isn't as profound as their Ninth Grade Grandmaster.
In this world, it's rare for someone to break through two levels at once, usually it's the caliber of an unparalleled genius!
Like a hundred years ago, the first expert, Yan Nantian.
Who twice consecutively broke through two levels.
Each time causing phenomena rivaling that of becoming a Ninth Grade Grandmaster.
Qin Feng breaking through two levels consecutively, alongside the bamboo forest's rapid growth phenomena, clearly marks him as an unparalleled genius like Yan Nantian!
Such a person is bound to be remarkable in the future!!
"From now on, we dare not disrespect Lord Qin!"
Jian Shisi and the others said in unison.
"I understand, rise."
Qin Feng raised his hand.
"Thank you, Lord Qin, for your magnanimity!"
The four spoke sincerely.
Then.
Zhiyun, Hong Lian, Yu Xing'er, and the others, upon learning that Qin Feng had emerged, came over.
Seeing Qin Feng become a Third Grade Grandmaster in one go, they were all very happy, offering their congratulations.
Zhiyun stepped forward at this moment, showing concern, "Qin Feng, I heard you plan to take only a few people to Kunlun?"
