Chapter 19 (2/2)

Tang Chi was stunned for a moment as he looked at the bottles in his hand in surprise. He looked at Li Yu in disbelief and asked, “Senior Brother, are… are these pills for me?”

“What else can I do? You’re my only junior brother for now. Plus, I can’t use these pills!” Li Yu said casually.

“Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Brother. This is great. I finally see the hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm!” Tang Chi hugged Li Yu and was moved to the point of tears.

“Don’t worry. If you follow your senior brother, even if you’re a pig, I can still make you soar into the sky!” Li Yu said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, thank you… Eh, why do I feel insulted?”

“Oh, and take these magic artifacts as well as this spirit sword!” Li Yu gave Elder Jia’s spirit sword to Tang Chi.

Tang Chi had become Li Qingyun’s disciple when he was ten years old. He and Li Yu grew up together. Although they were not blood-related, they were very close.

Over the years, Tang Chi never abandoned the sect. Even if everyone else left the sect, he had never thought of it.

Besides, he did most of the dirty and tiring work in the temple and did not complain.

Hence, apart from Li Qingshan, Tang Chi was closest to him.

Li Yu would not be stingy to help him.

Perhaps Tang Chi’s talent was indeed very ordinary or even somewhat poor.

However, in Li Yu’s opinion, talent was only the starting point. As the saying went, strength could make a brick fly.

As long as he had enough resources, his limit could be limitless.

Furthermore, he had the system. Why would he be worried about not being able to bring his junior brother along?

…

In the Zhu Family residence, when Zhu Xiaotian heard what went down when the Crown Prince, the princes, and the various family clans had gone to recruit Li Yu, he was also shocked.

He originally thought that Li Yu’s abilities might only slightly surpass his own.

Even if he did not get rid of him, he only needed to speed up his cultivation and improve himself. Then, he could overtake Li Yu directly when the rankings refreshed the next time to become the true number one.

Therefore, over the past few days, Zhu Xiaotian had relied on various pills, spirit herbs, and spirit stones to assist him in his cultivation in a bid to surpass Li Yu.

However, after hearing the news, his heart turned cold.

The Transcendent realm!

A seventeen-year-old in the Transcendent realm? How is that possible!

Zhu Xiaotian could not believe this fact.

Even in his previous life, he had never heard of anyone reaching the Transcendence realm at the age of seventeen.

In the entire history of the continent, only the Martial Emperor Qing Cang had such talent.

This Li Yu is too freakish.

How can I surpass him!

Zhu Xiaotian was about to explode.

He now firmly believed Li Yu could not be kept alive.

However, while he was shocked, he had lived two lifetimes after all. He could still rationalize his thinking.

Therefore, after his shock, he began to analyze the current situation.

Since Li Yu is clearly inclined to choose the crown prince, the third prince, Murong Taisheng, and the fifth prince, Murong Zhengnan, probably would not let him stay around.

Especially after he revealed such a terrifying talent, he must have become the thorn in their hearts—the type that had to be eliminated.

So, even if I don’t do anything next, Li Yu would probably not survive by the next time the leaderboard is refreshed.
