Chapter 358: Wang Kun’s Transformation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Perhaps some clansman passed by here and gained some enlightenment.” Another Wang family’s disciple remarked as he glanced at the nearby courtyard before averting his gaze. They knew well who lived in that courtyard. As far as they knew, anyone could break through to the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm. Anyone, but except Wang Kun.
After all, Wang Kun was only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm. With his tortoise-like cultivation speed, it would likely take him decades to reach the ninth level. In fact, it was possible he might not make it before his lifespan ended.
At that moment, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak. The small courtyard, which had remained silent for half a year, its gate bearing the scent of decay, was suddenly opened today by someone, and a young man in a black robe walked out.
Wang Kun, not seen for six months, had undergone a tremendous change in appearance and temperament. His originally pale complexion was now even paler. His figure had also become much thinner, his entire body carrying a feminine aura.
In his pitch-black eyes, there was a hint of subtleness, carrying boundless coldness. The current him was almost unrecognizable compared to his former self. He gave off the feeling that he had encountered an earth-shattering change and had been utterly transformed.
In the past, Wang Kun was meek and deferential. Even when insulted, he would accept it with a smile. But now, although he had yet to speak, the two Wang family’s disciples could clearly feel the change in his temperament. When they saw Wang Kun before them, their hearts trembled, endless fear rising within them, as if facing some terrifying demonic beast.
“Humph! How ridiculous!” One of the Wang family’s disciples reacted and sneered coldly. “This trash’s temperament has changed quite a bit. He almost scared me for a moment there.”
The other disciple looked at Wang Kun strangely, then pulled his companion and secretly transmitted, “Something’s wrong here! You didn’t notice this trash has already reached the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm, did you?”
“What? The ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm?”
Hearing this, the other disciple’s expression shifted. He extended his divine sense, landing it on Wang Kun, and finally noticed his cultivation had unknowingly reached the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm!
This bit of strength was nothing to the Wang family. After all, the Qi Sea Realm could not be considered a profound realm. There were at least eight to ten thousand of juniors at this level in the Wang family.
But the crux was, this person who had broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm was none other than Wang Kun! Something was clearly amiss here. One had to know that Wang Kun was publicly acknowledged as trash in the Wang family!
He had been cultivating for over twenty years yet was stuck at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm. How could he suddenly break through multiple minor realms in a short time and reach the ninth level? Moreover, it appeared that he was only a step away from the next realm. If he focused on cultivating for a day or two, he would definitely advance to the next realm.
But for some reason, at this critical juncture, he had chosen to end his seclusion and come out instead.
“It seems the aura of the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm I sensed earlier didn’t come from someone breaking through, but was released by this trash.”
The disciple on the left quickly deduced the cause and effect. He cast an assessing gaze over Wang Kun, and his eyes gradually grew more intense and passionate. One thing was certain. Wang Kun was definitely useless before. His current transformation must be related to Su Chen.
If nothing unexpected happened, it must be something that Su Chen gave him that allowed him to soar to new heights today, transforming from a waste into a genius. The fact that such a thing, when placed on Wang Kun, a waste, had such incredible effects. “If it were given to me…” With this thought, the disciple’s expression gradually became frenzied.
He had always been known as a genius. If he could gain the heaven-defying opportunity in Wang Kun’s hands, wouldn’t that allow him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Young Patriarch Wang Wenxuan?
“Cousin Wang Kun, congratulations on breaking through to the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm.” He smiled, continuing, “At your current speed, you’ll soon break through to the God Altar Realm like me.”
Wang Kun glanced at them but did not answer. Instead, he asked, “Has Senior Su Chen left?”
Hearing this, the disciple’s smile froze. Wang Kun had completely ignored his words. If this had happened on any other day, he would have made sure that Wang Kun would regret saying that, but things were different now. What he wanted was the heaven-defying opportunity of Wang Kun. He had no choice but to continue smiling. “Senior Su Chen left long ago. Moreover, just a few days ago, he broke through to become a Saint Realm powerhouse.”
“He became a saint?” Hearing this, Wang Kun’s eyes filled with envy. He had thought his cultivation speed quite fast, but compared to Su Chen he was still lacking. He could have broken through to the Qi Sea Realm in one go, but the thought of the challenges that came with breaking through and his lingering concern about Su Chen made him decide to conclude his cultivation and step out of his small courtyard.
He didn’t expect Su Chen to become a Saint Realm powerhouse in just half a year! Moreover, Su Chen had even left the Wang family. This completely dashed some of his ideas.
“Well, it seems I can only wait until we meet again to thank him personally.” Wang Kun sighed softly, disappointment flashing in his eyes as he muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around, preparing to return to his courtyard. Since Su Chen had left, there was no need to wastefully linger outside. After all, he could think of no one in the Wang family worth sharing his breakthrough with, much less anyone he wanted to thank.
Seeing Wang Kun turn to leave, the disciple panicked. “Cousin Wang Kun!” he shouted, “Do you want to keep Senior Su Chen’s gifts all to yourself?”
“Hmm?” Hearing this, Wang Kun frowned and halted, but did not turn. Instead, he calmly asked, “What do you mean by this?”
“The gift from Senior Su Chen was for the Wang family’s benefit, not yours alone. Now that you’ve gained greatly, do you still want to keep the treasures to yourself?” the disciple spoke in a deep voice.
If this had been any other day, even if he had witnessed Wang Kun’s rapid progress, he wouldn’t have dared to entertain other thoughts. But now Su Chen had left, and Wang Kun had vanished from the whole family’s notice for half a year. Since that was the case, he had nothing holding him back. Based on Su Chen’s speed, he was likely at the Dachu Empire by now.
Not to mention that Su Chen was a Saint Realm powerhouse. Even if he were a Saint King Realm master, there would be no way he could guess what had happened in the Wang family.
With this in mind, he felt even more at ease..
