Two days after clearing the Hall of Limits, the injuries on Xiang Shaoyun's body had mostly healed. He had no problems when it came to moving normally. This was all attributed to his absolutely amazing physique.

”I've gained quite a few benefits this time around. I should train in the second room whenever I have the time,” Xiang Shaoyun mused to himself.

The challenges one would face in each room within the Hall of Limits were different. The first room focused on one's physical prowess, forcing one to go even further beyond one's potential, granting one exceptional strength. The second room contained a rock formation, one which was closely compacted and contained very little breathing room. Ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to last for too long. This environment focused on training one's reaction and combat ability.

Avoiding the boulders required both keen senses as well as adept footwork, and breaking the boulders entirely required explosive strength and force. No matter which method one chose with which to face the room, the room would raise their overall combat power. For somebody such as Xiang Shaoyun who wanted to raise their combat ability as quickly as possible, the boulder formation was undoubtedly the best place to train.

The current Xiang Shaoyun, however, did not intend to go back into the second room just yet. He still had to fulfil his promise of treating his friends to a meal. Upon his arrival at the outer courtyard, numerous cultivating outer court disciples turned to look at him with sparkles in their eyes. Some even showed a hint of admiration.

Being able to easily defeat Wu Mingliang, Xiang Shaoyun was now worthy of the t.i.tle of one of the top 10 outer court disciples. These disciples couldn't help admiring him. The female disciples all called out to him with ”Brother Xiang!”; some of the bolder ones even cast him seductive glances. This left Xiang Shaoyun proud beyond compare.

”This kind of feeling is great! It's like the feeling when I was at home!” Xiang Shaoyun happily said to himself. Once he had this thought, however, his expression began to cloud. The place he had once called home was now the home of somebody else, making him a stray dog with no place to call home.

”Boss, are your injuries fully healed?” Xia Liuhui shouted at the top of his lungs, seemingly afraid that others would not know Xiang Shaoyun was his boss.

Regaining his wits, Xiang Shaoyun replied, ”How can I possibly heal so fast? But I feel much better now.” Pausing for a while, he then added, ”Go and call Lu Xiaoqing, Mo Buhui, and Mei Lianhua. I promised to treat you guys to a feast! I won't go back on my word.”

”I knew boss's words were as good as gold!” Xia Liuhui gleefully said as he raised his right thumb. He then added, ”They're over there! Let me go get them!”

Mo Buhui and Mei Lianhua, as well as Lu Xiaoqing, had all been motivated by Xiang Shaoyun and had been madly cultivating their physical strength. All of them strove to quickly clear the second room, not wanting to lag too far behind Xiang Shaoyun.

”Shaoyun, are your wounds fully healed?” Mei Lianhua asked the moment she saw Xiang Shaoyun, full of concern. This caused the equally concerned Lu Xiaoqing to come to an awkward halt, biting back the words she had meant to say.

Xia Liuhui's expression became exceedingly gloomy, his heart filled with sorrow. He had a crush on Mei Lianhua. However, not only did she not even look in his direction, her heart was set firmly on his boss.

”Thanks for your concern, I'm almost fully healed. I'm here to treat all of you to a feast! Let's get going!” Xiang Shaoyun smilingly replied.

”Great! I was just becoming a bit hungry.” Mei Lianhua lightly giggled as she drew closer to Xiang Shaoyun.

This one action of hers made even Mo Buhui's expression turn frigid, his eyes full of unhappiness. Before Xiang Shaoyun appeared, Mei Lianhua belonged to him and him alone. Although they appeared very close, she had never interacted with him the way that she was with Xiang Shaoyun right now. This created a very unstable feeling within him.

Although he was unhappy, Mo Buhui quickly calmed himself down and said, ”Since Brother Xiang is so generous, we'd be glad to oblige.”

”What are we waiting for then? Let's go and eat our hearts out!” Xiang Shaoyun jovially laughed.
