The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1321 - 1320: Power Threshold

Chen Tuan thought for a long time before he came up with this line."I didn't want it either. When I unleashed the Quenching Fire Palm, I could smell the scent of burning flesh. Who knew he could still survive, who knew he could still break through?"

Thinking about this, Tang Rao couldn't help but feel his anger flare up.

"By the way, Grandmaster, you were looking for me?"

Without reason, who would wait outside for so long?

Also, there was always the worry that Tang Rao might be breaking through inside, and if it took too long to accomplish.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, just wanted to ask if, besides you, me and your Grandmaster can also return to the Seventy-two Domains once?"

Within the Seventy-two Domains, there are still many things Chen Tuan couldn't let go of. After spending some time in the Divine Realm, the desire to return to the Seventy-two Domains became even stronger, and Chen Tuan couldn't explain why he felt this way.

"Of course you can. I don't have supernatural powers; as long as you grasp the trick, anyone can go. It's like once you understand the method, you can shuttle between the Seventy-two Domains and Blue Star."

Really?

Chen Tuan made a simple matter seem overly complicated, so he hasn't figured out the connection even now.

"I'd like to go back for a while, and then come up again, would that be okay?"

Chen Tuan rarely made requests to Tang Rao, and Tang Rao would feel a bit guilty if he didn't agree.

"Grandmaster, I'd love for you to stay here, but if you want to go back, I'll send you back."

For Tang Rao's sudden agreement, Chen Tuan was still getting used to it.

The thing promised to Chen Tuan in the morning was accomplished by noon.

Bringing people in, sending them out, these things that were done secretly behind the Heavenly Dao, Tang Rao had become quite adept at them.

After sending Chen Tuan and Chen Ajiu away, Tang Rao returned to his room to continue cultivating, and he seemed to have realized something just now.

This kind of enlightenment, this familiar feeling, Tang Rao truly cherished from the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, mid-stage peak of Medium Divinity.

Ugh!

Tang Rao almost died of anger.

Upon promotion, when he assessed his virtual strength, it was still Upper Divinity early stage based on his original strength.

It didn't advance to the peak of the Upper Divinity early stage, which didn't feel right.

Could Granny Hua have set strength limitations on Tang Rao from the very beginning?

What a rip-off!

With full of doubt, Tang Rao went to find Granny Hua. Clearly sensing Immortal Energy fluctuations, she was calmly watering the newly planted flowers and plants in her garden.

"Granny Hua, I've broken through, don't you even have the slightest urge to praise me?"

The absence of praise from Granny Hua made Tang Rao feel oddly disappointed.

"Mid-stage peak of Medium Divinity, I thought you had broken through a lot more."

This was an outright disdain for Tang Rao.

"This is precisely what I wanted to ask you, didn't you say I had Upper Divinity early stage strength, yet after my advancement, it was only my original strength that advanced, and my virtual strength didn't even ascend at all—is it because Granny Hua had pre-set it from the start?"

Tang Rao's words weren't impossible; it was an issue, and importantly, Tang Rao wanted an answer from Granny Hua.

"It can only be Upper Divinity early stage; only your own strength can be advanced, when your own strength ascends to Upper Divinity early stage, then I can elevate your strength further up, you wouldn't understand this."

She even teased Tang Rao by saying he wouldn't understand.

Tang Rao's sensitive heart couldn't handle this.

"That's exactly what's making me uncomfortable; I thought my strength could soar, but it still stayed put, unsettling my heart greatly."

Tang Rao could comprehend Granny Hua's setup; it's to prevent him from forgetting his original strength after growing stronger and becoming arrogant.

Providing Tang Rao with a virtual strength that maximized survival chances while keeping him grounded in his original state was indeed the best choice.

"But seeing you break through still makes me very happy, especially since you're about to face an even bigger challenge."

Granny Hua hadn't wanted to speak of it but mentioned it now to give Tang Rao pressure, preventing him from slacking off.

"What bigger challenge are you talking about, how do you know?"

How did you know? Tang Rao's question felt nonsensical.

The moment this sentence came out, he just wanted to slap himself.

"I know nothing, I really know nothing."

Tang Rao voiced his thoughts, but now wanted to stop, too late.

"It's just the matter of entering the Southern City."

Granny Hua responded with an 'oh'.

Tang Rao had hoped Granny Hua would react more strongly, but she just didn't seem concerned.

"Entering Southern City, the place filled with masters, is where your home is, hearing this news should make you thrilled, feel accomplished, receive congratulations, right?"

Why do you seem so indifferent?

Could it be Tang Rao met a fake master?

"This is exactly what I wanted to say, what's the point of getting excited?"

Granny Hua gave Tang Rao a disdainful look.

"Then I congratulate you, although I don't know who told you this in advance, I only found out with great effort, but I must remind you, entering Southern City is not that simple, you should be clear of the strength minimum more than I am, it should at least be Upper Divinity early stage, and this one condition you can't meet yet, prematurely congratulating you is perhaps a bit early."

Granny Hua as always spoke truths, doesn't she know encouraging juniors is parental love?

This feeling was quite uncomfortable.

"Granny Hua, my mentor, your disciple has a sensitive heart, speaking like this might make him collapse."

Collapse? As Granny Hua's disciple, wasn't he long aware of the many crashing moments to come? If he's collapsing now, at the beginning, what will he do later?

"Let me ask you, who helped you get the chance into the Southern City?"

Granny Hua, staying in Zijing City, wasn't watching Tang Rao 24/7, nor interested in investigating him, how would she know who Tang Rao interacted with, and who around him had recommendation strength?

"You might know him, Liu Tao's father, Mr. Liu."

There was no concealment, Tang Rao told Granny Hua everything about his experiences with the Liu Family.

Including the family environment, he described it once.

Someone experienced like Granny Hua, hearing Tang Rao, surely she could deduce a few things?

"It seems this old guy's strength is not formidable, but rather connected, and with no ill intentions."

Granny Hua made a fair assessment of the old man.

In fact, what Granny Hua said was exactly what Tang Rao genuinely felt.

Since both shared the same feeling, there really wasn't much discrepancy.

Apart from Liu Yu being the old man's biggest flaw, Liu Tao and the old man were rather decent.

"Someone able to give you this spot must be magnanimous, fond of nurturing a successful younger generation."
