Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 11: Not Hitting the South Wall Until the Heart Is Dead!

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads towards the sound. In the distance, two slender figures were approaching. The leader was dressed in white, elegant and graceful, exuding the air of a young nobleman.

“Junior Brother Meng!” Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and it was Xia Han! At this moment, his injuries had long since healed, and he had even made some progress. It wouldn’t be long before he could consider breaking through to the Aperture Connecting Realm. After all, he had been stuck at the ninth level of the Vein Tempering Realm for many years.

Ignoring the gazes of everyone around him, Meng Changqing placed his right hand on the long sword at his waist and walked slowly to the front of the elder.

“Greetings, Elder.” Meng Changqing bowed slightly. Even an outer disciple elder held a very high status within the sect and couldn’t be treated with the slightest disrespect.

After the salutation, Meng Changqing looked to the side of the elder, and the person’s information panel instantly appeared.

Basic Information:

【Name: Sun Haishan】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Ninth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realm】

Attribute Information:

【Root Bone: Fourth Grade】

【Comprehension: Ordinary】

【Martial Arts: “Cloud Breaking Spear” (Partial Mastery), “Eight-Inch Step” (Partial Mastery)】

“The attributes are just average. It seems that without any opportunities, Fourth-Grade Physique can only cultivate to the Ninth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realm at most. With luck, one might step into the Sea Cleaving Realm, but that’s the limit,” Meng Changqing thought to himself. If it had been his previous Fifth Grade Physique, his future achievements would have been even lower.

“Cloud Breaking Spear” seems to be a profound low-grade martial art. Only inner disciples can practice high-grade martial arts!” Meng Changqing took a deep breath. Regarding the inner sect, he had naturally tried to understand it. As long as he could enter the inner sect, whether it was cultivation resources or martial arts techniques, they would far surpass those of the outer sect. There was simply no comparison between them!

“Aperture Connecting Realm.” The elder looked Meng Changqing up and down. “You’ve actually reached the Aperture Connecting Realm!”

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Xia Han was shocked, then somewhat incredulous. Didn’t Meng Changqing just reach the eighth level of the Vein Tempering Realm not long ago? How long had it been?

“From your aura, you must have just broken through,” the elder withdrew his gaze and said casually, “Not even stable yet. Isn’t it too risky?”

“Fists and feet have no eyes, let alone puppets.”

“Be careful not to be seriously injured. The realm you’ve just broken through with great difficulty will be lost.”

As the elder spoke, the previously calm crowd suddenly erupted into an uproar.

“What? Just broke through and dare to come here? Are you crazy!”

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Yeah, do you really think this Puppet Valley is just for show? That you can easily pass through it?”

“Didn’t you see that even Zhao Zhen and the others failed?”

“Truly arrogant. You’re dreaming!”

For a moment, some people uttered mocking words. Zhao Zhen and the others nearby also sneered. Even they, “veterans” of the Aperture Connecting Realm, couldn’t pass through, let alone someone who just made a breakthrough.

“Go back,” the elder kindly reminded, preparing to close the passage. But Meng Changqing stopped him.

“Elder, I really want to try this passage.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the elder’s eyes. He had seen too many people like this, thinking that breaking through to the Aperture Connecting Realm would enable them to pass through the Puppet Valley. They were too arrogant, overestimating their abilities.

“Fine, it’s up to you,” the elder’s voice returned to indifference. Stepping aside, he cleared the way.

“Thank you, Elder,” Meng Changqing understood the elder’s thoughts, but there was no need to explain. Facts would prove everything.

Slowly drawing his long sword from his waist, Meng Changqing, with sword in hand, stepped into the cold passage with his right foot.

“These people are really annoying,” hearing more and more questioning and mocking voices around her, Bai Suxi’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, showing displeasure. As Senior Brother Meng’s friend, she naturally couldn’t bear to hear such words. Senior Brother Meng was not ordinary. With two perfected martial arts, he had a great chance of passing through the Puppet Valley.

“Master, what do you think?” Bai Suxi asked in her heart.

“Based on the previous situation, this second-level puppet is obviously not an ordinary puppet. Both its defense and strength are quite good. However, this kid has mastered two perfected martial arts, so he should be able to pass through. However, the process may be difficult, and he may even get injured,” the old voice gave a fair judgment.

Since being shaken by Meng Changqing’s realm just now, she had remained silent until now. She couldn’t speak casually to Meng Changqing as she did before. After all, she had been proven wrong twice.

“Yeah, I think so too,” Bai Suxi nodded heavily.

“Junior Brother Meng,” Xia Han also stared at Meng Changqing’s figure, but unlike others, he naturally hoped that Meng Changqing would succeed. It’s just difficult.
