Chapter 153 - Everyone was Making Great Progress (2/2)

All those achievements were made possible simply because he served the right master.

While both men were already at Deity Level at the moment, Lu Xuan appeared even more mysterious. He had not been able to sense something that profound when he was back at National Guardian Level because the gap between them had been so huge that he was unable to sense anything much.

It was only after he had made the breakthrough about a month ago that he vaguely realized that Lu Xuan’s powers seemed to be growing every day.

While the progress was not all that apparent, it was nonetheless astounding for someone at Lu Xuan’s level.

It was also after he had made a breakthrough into Deity Level that he realized that the rush of making one breakthrough after another had thoroughly subsided. There seemed to be a barrier in the world, preventing them from making further progress.

It was a harrowing thing to know that Lu Xuan’s training kept making progress every day, even under such circumstances.

He had even wondered if it would have been possible for Lu Xuan to break through into Level Nine before the shackle from the world was gone.

If that were to happen, things would have indeed taken a horrifying turn.

It would have been like how it was in the legends.

Zhang Hongyang understood the inherent gap between him and the master he served. He was simply moving with the flow, walking along the trail that had been blazed by someone else. Lu Xuan was something else altogether, and that was what made him such a rare being, as he was the trailblazer.

It was precisely due to that that not only did he not look down on Lu Xuan after becoming a Deity, but he even respected Lu Xuan more.

He was able to feel that if he were to fight Lu Xuan, he would not be able to take more than three moves even though the two of them were on the same level.

Lu Xuan would overwhelm him in mere seconds.

While he had no idea why he thought this, he trusted his own intuition, and the intuition of cultivators worked a lot better than objective evidence of any kind for the most part.

Other than Zhang Hongyang, the one who made the most progress for the past several months was Lu Xuan’s mother, Liu Wanrong.

She actually managed to make it to become a National Guardian within mere months, and she only needed a chance, an opportunity, or an encounter to break through into Deity level.

Lu Xuan’s father, Lu Tianxiang, and his little sister, Lu Guoguo, had already developed Level Six Martial Arts Legend powers as well.

With Lu Xuan being the teacher, it was utterly impossible to slow one’s cultivation down instead.

While they were quite some distance away from the top-notch fighters, they had only been training for mere months. When compared to those who had trained for years or even decades, their progress made it seem like they were riding on a rocket.

Lu Xuan found all that progress satisfactory. If they were to continue to make such progress, catching up to top-notch cultivators would have only been a matter of time, and they had finally become able to hold their own against some malicious beings out there.

Furthermore, with Zhang Hongyang taking care of the place, and with a maze laid out, things could not have been safer for Lu Xuan’s family.

While formidable fighters were abundant all over the world, they were not abundant to the extent where any one of them was just a stone’s throw away.

His family would be able to basically hold their own and beat a lot of people out there. Lu Shanshan, for example, despite having transferred to a new school, was able to become an alpha figure in her new school.

While she had been putting a lot of effort into staying low key, her powers, ironically, had forbidden her to do so.

That moment of breakthrough that Lu Xuan had been waiting for was finally there as well.
