"Brother Xu, congratulations on your cultivation breakthrough to Gang Qi Minor Achievement!"
As Xu Yang was leaving the dining hall one day, he heard a voice tinged with a smile.
He looked up to see a smiling Shen Liang, with An Ping and two others by his side.
The three of them looked rather awkward, a mixture of shock and regret.
They were all Dragon Ascending Disciples from the previous year, yet none had achieved Gang Qi Minor Achievement. That spoke volumes about their talent and potential.
Now, Xu Yang had come from behind to surpass them, his cultivation exceeding theirs. And though they came from better backgrounds, they were now the ones who had to curry favor with him.
Unfortunately, they had already squandered even this opportunity to get on his good side. The five of them hadn't gathered for drinks in almost two months.
"My cultivation breakthrough only brought me a wave of ridicule. Might as well not have broken through at all," Xu Yang laughed.
