Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Blinded Eyes Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Blinded Eyes Because in the Zhao Family, there had been no martial artist who could advance their realm from Seventh Layer Heaven to Eighth Layer Heaven in just a couple of months over the past few decades.
Jing Yan, standing before the Testing Crystal, placed a single palm on the crystal’s surface.
Primordial Energy, slowly circulating from within his body, poured into the Testing Crystal.
That red glow, in an instant, surged upwards fiercely.
“First Layer Heaven!”
“Second Layer Heaven!”
“Third Layer Heaven!”
“Wow, Seventh Layer Heaven, high-level martial artist!”
“Haha, Brother Jing Yan’s realm hasn’t fallen, I said it all along, Brother Jing Yan’s realm wouldn’t fall again.”
When Jing Yan’s testing crystal’s red glow surpassed the Seventh Layer Heaven mark, many of the surrounding onlooking martial artists showed smiles.
And most of the Jing Family people like Jing Chengye on the high platform also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that it didn’t fall, good that it didn’t fall!
The red glow within the Test Crystal didn’t stop there.
In just the blink of an eye, it surpassed the Eighth Layer Heaven mark.
Eighth Layer Heaven realm?”
“How is this possible?
In such a short time…”
Countless Jing Family Disciples revealed shocked expressions.
They couldn’t help but be shocked; it was an uncontrollable emotion.
Because three months ago, Jing Yan had his realm measured in the family’s Martial Arts Hall.
At that time, many had seen with their own eyes that Jing Yan’s realm was merely at Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven.
At that time, Jing Yan had even sparred with Jing Lucheng.
With Sixth Layer Heaven Cultivation, he defeated the Seventh Layer Heaven Jing Lucheng.
Two months ago, in the Extreme Combat Association, the Combat Association tested and recognized him as having Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven Cultivation.
That is to say, he advanced from Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven to Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven in a month’s time.
Furthermore, with the cultivation of Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven, he defeated the formidable Li Tianfu.
When the news came, many in the Jing Family couldn’t believe it.
However, afterwards, Jing Yan entered seclusion and did not leave his residence.
Some who wanted to investigate were stopped by guards at the entrance to Jing Yan’s courtyard.
Two months had passed, and at the family competition, Jing Yan was tested to have Eighth Layer Heaven Cultivation.
How could they not be shocked?
Even Jing Chengye and others, although they had hoped, only held on to that hope.
They didn’t believe there was much chance that Jing Yan’s realm had reached Eighth Layer Heaven.
And now, the reality was right in front of them.
Jing Yan, you are truly one of the most outstanding descendants of our Jing Family.” Jing Chengye’s face turned slightly red with excitement, and he called out directly.
He was indeed incredibly thrilled.
Then, he turned his gaze towards Fourth Elder Zhao Zhenshan of the Zhao Family.
At this moment, Zhao Zhenshan’s face was grim.
Just before Jing Yan’s test, he had prepared a load of scornful remarks, waiting to release them all once the results came out.
Even if Jing Yan was still at Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven Cultivation, he would have said them without any reservations.
But now, Jing Yan had reached Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven.
If he were to say those words now, even he himself would feel insincere.
Others would also look down on him, thinking he was envious.
In his Zhao Family, there were no descendants as excellent as this.
So, he could only keep his mouth shut.
Bastard!” Zhao Zhenshan’s chest was filled with venom as he continued to hiss angrily.
While the people of the Jing Family were excited and the onlookers were astonished, the red light in the Testing Crystal suddenly leapt up again, surpassing the Ninth Layer Heaven mark.
“Boom!” The crowd exploded.
I must have gone blind, I must be blind!”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.
I don’t believe it, how could it be Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven?”
Jing Yan, is your cultivation breakthrough really as easy as eating and drinking?”
Those Jing Family Disciples not on good terms with Jing Yan, particularly from Great Elder Jing Chunyu’s branch, were jumping and screaming.
Meanwhile, those Jing Family Disciples who had a better relationship with Jing Yan were left speechless, merely gasping for breath and staring fixedly at the Testing Crystal.
At this time, Jing Yan slowly pulled back his palm and turned to smile with his sparkling white teeth at the somewhat dazed Jing Shiyu.
Jing Shiyu was standing before the Testing Crystal.
Apart from her and Jing Yan, no one could see the inner red glow of the crystal so clearly anymore.
She was profoundly shocked and momentarily lost in a daze.
She herself had Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Cultivation and certainly knew how steadfast one must be to cultivate all the way here.
Moreover, she was also an outstanding member of the Jing Family, one who was anticipated to step into the Innate Realm one day.
But compared to Jing Yan, she felt like a waste.
Thoughts racing, she recalled that Jing Yan had defeated Li Tianfu while at the realm of Seventh Layer Heaven.
So now, how strong should Jing Yan’s combat power be?
Martial artists below the Innate Realm should be completely swept away, right?
Even if seven or eight Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artists joined forces, they would hardly be able to contend with Jing Yan, wouldn’t they?
“Jing Yan, a Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artist!”
After a good two or three breaths of being dumbstruck, Jing Shiyu finally announced loudly.
Her face also had a slight blush, and her eyes gleamed with sharpness.
On the high platform.
The posture of Jing Chengye and others had become somewhat exaggerated.
“I always said that Jing Yan would soon return to the Innate Realm,” Jing Tianying’s voice changed somewhat, the joy contained within it discernible to anyone.
Nearly all the high-ranking members of the Jing Family glowed with excitement.
The only one whose face remained sullen was Great Elder Jing Chunyu.
He had always harbored resentment towards Jing Yan.
“How exactly did that little bastard cultivate?” Jing Chunyu growled inwardly.
“Elder Zhao, now you should recognize Jing Yan’s excellence, right?” Jing Chengye’s gaze sharpened, and, finding Zhao Zhenshan’s position in the VIP seats, he smiled and said.
Zhao Zhenshan had just insulted the Jing Family, and now he was slapped in the face, wasn’t he?
Seeing Zhao Zhenshan’s constipated-like expression brought immense satisfaction to Jing Chengye’s heart.
He truly wished that it wasn’t Zhao Zhenshan standing there but the Jian Family Clan Leader Zhao Dangyuan.
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
“Jing Clan Patriarch, this year’s Jing Family competition has brought forth a full ten Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artists under the age of twenty-five.
The Jing Family is impressive indeed!”
“Especially this Jing Yan, truly…
The Jing Family will become stronger and stronger.”
Many people from the VIP seats also extended their congratulations.
Back in the plaza, Jing Yan returned to Jing Ziqi’s side.
Jing Ziqi’s beautiful eyes shimmered as they measured Jing Yan up and down.
“Jing Yan, how on earth did you cultivate?
When you stepped into the Innate Realm at fourteen, you already earned the admiration of countless in Donglin City.
And now, in just a few months, you advanced from the Third Layer Heaven to Ninth Layer Heaven?” Jing Ziqi expressed her admiration, tinged with a hint of emotion.
