311 The Ugly Duckling Became A Beautiful Swan (1/2)

The Holy Lord stood still, looking towards the cave and the direction where Gu Xijiu went, the corners of his mouth began to turn up.

”Little Xijiu, don’t disappoint me.You need to work harder!” He then shifted his focus towards his hands. It seems that he has become overly concerned about the little girl, perhaps it was due to the fact he had experienced many things for the first time because of her.

After a while, he began to laugh and partly squint his eyes.

For the first time, he was placing so much effort on someone who was not a disciple of the heavenly gift. It was probably something that caught his interest. After all, he rarely had anything that sparked his interest.

...

Time passed by quickly. With just a blink of an eye, four months had passed.

Inside a quiet room, there was a beautiful yet faint aura radiating from a person who was meditating.

The faint aura slowly disappeared and the person, who was meditating, opened her eyes.

”Congratulations master, your spiritual power has finally increased to level four!” The compelling voice of the Firmament Stone transmitted into her mind.

Gu Xijiu woke up, stretched her body and began to feel the spiritual power inside her body. Then, she let out a sigh, ”My spiritual power was only able to level up twice in over five months. Little Cang, is my practicing method incorrect?”

The Firmament Stone replied, ”Master, from what I know, the well-known genius of the Feixing Kingdom, Rong Jialuo, was born with a level four spiritual power. He started practicing since he was four years old and after 16 years, his spiritual power was only able to level up twice, and yet he was well regarded as a genius. On the other hand, you have leveled up twice in less than six months, and you are complaining? Don't you understand that you're leveling up at an incredible speed already?”

Gu Xijiu tapped on it once, ”Didn't we start from the bottom? Aren't beginners supposed to level up quicker at the start and then become slower at a higher level?”

The Firmament Stone was speechless and gave her another example, ”Gu Tianchao, your so-called elder brother, was born with a level three spiritual power. He started practicing since he was five years old and after 15 years his spiritual power was only able to reach level 4.5! Even he was able to be accepted as a disciple of the Jiuxing clan!”

Gu Xijiu stood up, ”Alright, alright. I already knew I was a genius. You don't have to praise me with more examples.”
