Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1235 Damn, I really underestimated this guy! (2 more updates)

About an hour later, Ye Haochuan successfully passed through the Bone-Corrosive Cold Spring.

The pain along the way was easily glossed over, only feeling that his muscles, bones, and skin became increasingly solid. His physical strength increased by more than thirty percent.

Now, even without the protection of Spiritual Energy, magical treasures below the Law-Level couldn’t harm him.

These Four Holy Peaks, even if one can’t reach the top, can still greatly benefit. However, most cultivators can’t withstand the strong pressure; otherwise, this would be a great place to enhance one’s power.

The third stairway was similar to the one on Vermilion Bird Peak. However, there were no illusionary attacks from Liu Xianglan here, but rather gravity increased several times, and the number of steps increased from ten to several hundred.

Ye Haochuan took a deep breath and slowly climbed up. The immense gravity made his feet feel as heavy as lead. Every step consumed a lot of his energy.

After gritting his teeth and climbing several dozen steps, he suddenly noticed someone ahead of him.

”Is that... Ji Tianyu?” Ye Haochuan’s expression was somewhat strange.

Earlier on Vermilion Bird Peak, he seized the heritage Ji Tianyu was about to acquire. He didn’t expect that on Xuanwu Peak, he’d have to snatch it again.

This brat is unfortunate to meet me! I’m here specifically to cast a shadow over you!

Ye Haochuan smirked and thought to himself that this time he must thoroughly defeat him, break his high-and-mighty aura, and see if he would still be so arrogant.

Thinking of how Zhu Tian and Zhu Qingshuang, who escorted them out last time in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, were thrown out of the Inspection Group, Ye Haochuan felt a surge of anger.

This time, it’s like collecting some interest for the previous event.

With this thought, Ye Haochuan suddenly accelerated, climbing quickly.

Ji Tianyu seemed to hear the sound behind him and turned to look. When he clearly saw Ye Haochuan’s face, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

”Why is it you? How could you reach Foundation Establishment Peak so quickly?”

It was beyond Ji Tianyu’s amazement. The last time they met in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, Ye Haochuan was still at Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

How long has it been? Not even two months, how could he have reached Foundation Establishment Peak already?

”No, that’s impossible, you must have used some evil cultivation technique; otherwise, it’s impossible to cultivate so quickly!” Ji Tianyu shouted loudly.

He had always considered himself the top genius of Xuanmen, absolutely unwilling, and refusing to allow anyone to cultivate faster than he by such a large margin.

Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, ”It wasn’t supposed to be this fast; this is where I should thank Young Master Yu for letting me have the Vermilion Bird Peak heritage!”

”You mean it was you who snatched my heritage?” Ji Tianyu’s eyes widened in disbelief, ”No, that’s impossible, you’ve already got the Vermilion Bird Peak heritage, how could you still enter Xuanwu Peak?”

”Ah, it’s also because my strength wasn’t enough! If I had reached Foundation Establishment Peak before accepting the heritage, I could have achieved Core Formation. Now, it’s still a bit lacking.” Ye Haochuan said with a smirk.

”What, you succeeded at climbing at Foundation Establishment Late Stage?” Ji Tianyu couldn’t help but feel a sinking heart.

Although there’s only one rank difference between Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Foundation Establishment Peak, the actual strength difference is much more. Generally, reaching Foundation Establishment Peak doesn’t guarantee one can withstand the Holy Peak’s pressure; going in at Foundation Establishment Late Stage is virtually seeking death.

If Ye Haochuan really succeeded in climbing at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, wouldn’t that mean that he, known as one of the Five Great Talents, couldn’t even surpass a cultivator one rank lower than himself?

”Impossible, no one could be that powerful, absolutely not!” Ji Tianyu firmly refused to believe it.

If he were to find out that Ye Haochuan at Foundation Establishment Late Stage defeated a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator, would he be furious to death?

”It was unfortunate I didn’t encounter you on Vermilion Bird Peak, or else I would have shown you my prowess!” Ye Haochuan chuckled, ”But it’s okay, now that we’ve met, let you witness it properly!”

With a malicious intent of without mercy, Ye Haochuan once again quickened his pace.

Ji Tianyu was momentarily stunned, clearly shocked by Ye Haochuan’s speed.

”Hmph, if you want to surpass me, wait for your next life!” Ji Tianyu suddenly declared fiercely, ”Today I will show you what a true genius is, not someone like you who just runs their mouth.”

He firmly believed Ye Haochuan was lying, unwilling and reluctant to believe otherwise. He simply wanted to prove his title as a genius.

Having said that, he turned around and started climbing swiftly, his speed not a bit slower than Ye Haochuan’s.

Who would’ve thought this kid had some abilities!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but secretly sigh, but thinking it over, it made sense; Ji Tianyu, like him, went through the four stages on Vermilion Bird Peak, and the trials on Xuanwu Peak were similarly less challenging for him.

The two pushed themselves to the limit, speeding up, and in the blink of an eye, climbed dozens of steps. Ye Haochuan hadn’t thought that in the time of those dozen steps, he didn’t close any distance between himself and Ji Tianyu.

Damn, I really underestimated this kid!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that on the path ahead, he must strive harder. If not, he might truly have the heritage snatched by Ji Tianyu.

Ji Tianyu had already climbed to the peak of the steps, with Ye Haochuan still a dozen or so steps behind. But at that moment, a shadow suddenly flashed at the top of the steps.

The shadow flickered and disappeared, and in the next instant, a large stone sphere several meters in diameter appeared.

What the heck, not playing fair, huh!

Ye Haochuan was momentarily stunned, watching as the massive stone rolled down the steps.

Boom~ rumble~

The rolling stone gained speed rapidly, and it was about to have a close encounter with Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan wanted to dodge, but the steps were only so wide, making it impossible to evade.

The Divine Concealment Sword was practically useless on Xuanwu Peak and couldn’t be applied. The only thing Ye Haochuan could rely on was still his fist.

Damn it, go for broke!

Ye Haochuan stood straight, and as the stone was about to smash into his face, he punched out.

Boom~

The stone shattered into pieces, becoming small stone chunks.

Ye Haochuan’s fist was unscathed, but due to the stone’s inertia, he stumbled back four or five steps before stabilizing himself.

The person at the top of the steps gave a mocking smile and pushed out another stone.

It wasn’t hard to guess that this person was definitely a preceding member of the Ji Family’s ascent. Being able to pass the third stage, he also counts as a rare talent.

But compared to Ji Tianyu, this talent still paled in significance. So Ji Tianyu naturally went ahead to tackle the fourth stage, letting this person here block Ye Haochuan.

Despicable!

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.

Just then, the second stone had already started rolling down.

Ye Haochuan furrowed his brow; though these stones couldn’t harm him, they could easily prevent him from advancing. Once Ji Tianyu acquired the heritage, there would be no changing it.
