”What do you think of this boy's aptitude when compared to Snow Flower's?” Ye Jiannan did not directly answer Ji Chen and the other elders' questions. Instead, he opened his mouth and asked.
Snow Frost is a ninth grade Spiritual Root. Even amongst the geniuses with ninth grade Spiritual Roots, he is considered a top grade genius. When this kid tested his Spiritual Root, he was only a mere seventh grade Spiritual Root.
Ji Chen said after a moment of silence.
”That's right.”
Ye Jiannan nodded and then raised his head to look at Ji Chen. He asked, ”Then do you remember how long it took for Xue Shuang to break through from the Mortal realm to the Martial King realm?”
”This... ”From the time she was young, she entered the Mortal realm at the age of seven, broke through the Earth realm at the age of ten, became the Heaven realm at the age of twelve, and became the Emperor realm at the age of sixteen. She is a lot younger than Long Hao's age, but if it was time, she spent a whole eight years.”
Ji Chen said.
”Then, my school will ask you guys again: Xue Shuang spent eight years' time to break through from the Mortal realm to the Martial King realm. Is that talent good or bad?” Ye Jiannan asked again.
”Of course it's good!”
The other Skysword Sect Elder answered without hesitation. Back then, they had spent almost twenty years to cultivate to the King's realm.
”Then, how long did Long Hao Chen take to cultivate from the Mortal realm to the King's realm?”
Ye Jiannan asked.
”This …”
Hearing Ye Jiannan's words, Ji Chen and the others realized that before Long Hao Chen entered the Skysword Sect, he was just a little kid at the seventh level of the Mortal Realm.
And from the time Long Hao Chen entered the Skysword Sect, less than a year had passed since he started cultivating to the current Emperor realm. That cultivation speed could simply be called a monster.
No, he should be one of the monsters.
Whether it was Long Hao Chen's talent in alchemy or the fact that he had obtained the recognition of all the spiritual tools in the entire Sword Altar, it was undoubtedly proof of his power.
”As matters stand, do you still think that Long Hao Chen only has a tiny seventh grade spiritual root?”
Ye Jiannan asked.
Ji Chen and the others immediately fell silent. From their point of view, although Long Hao's breakthrough was indeed due to countless fortuitous encounters, it was mostly because of Long Hao's innate talent which was extremely powerful.
”Long Hao's spiritual roots are definitely not any kind of grade seven spiritual roots, it's just that this kid is too well-hidden. Even if it's our sect, we still won't be able to see it, but at least this old man can tell that this kid is someone from the Skysword Sect.”
”In that case, I don't mind helping him. No matter what secret he's hiding, as long as he doesn't say anything, we won't ask. After a long time, everything will naturally come to light.”
Ye Jiannan said.
When the three Skysword Sect elders heard this, they all became silent. They clearly understood the meaning behind Ye Jiannan's words. No matter what status Long Hao had, they all directly protected Long Hao Chen.
The more powerful Long Hao Chen was, the stronger the future of the Skysword Sect. As the head of the Skysword Sect, the first thing he had to consider was the future of the Skysword Sect.
”...”
Boom!
On the third day, the second round of the Thousand Sect Alliance Competition had just begun. As a powerful wave of spiritual energy struck a distant battle drum, the sound of the drum instantly filled the entire Eastern Emperor Sect.
”The second round of the competition has officially begun. The first match, Long Hao Chen from the Heavenly Sword Sect versus Ye Changtian from the Longevity Sect!”
The Eastern Emperor shouted.
”Senior-apprentice Brother Long, it's you. I didn't think that the first match would be you!”
”Come on Senior Brother Long!”
”This Ye Changtian seems to be at the 5th level of the King's Realm. Senior brother Long must be careful of him!”
