Chapter 98: The Secret Behind the Explosive Increase in Power
Yun Xiao and Tan Yun had ultimately parted ways. Such was the vastness of the first layer of Jade Pot Cave that Tan Yun’s encounter with the Cao Family brothers was an extreme coincidence, and his timely arrival here was an even greater stroke of luck.
Without Cao Jun, Yun Xiao believed that even if Tan Yun were to meet Cao Ju again, she would easily escape defeat, especially since a talent like Cao Luo, the eldest of the Cao Family, was unlikely to stay in the first layer of Jade Pot Cave.
Naturally, Yun Xiao wouldn’t stay in the first layer of the Jade Pot Cave either. And as several time periods passed, he had already reached the entrance to the second layer of Jade Pot Cave. There, just like before, a guardian was present.
By the guardian’s side were some familiar figures with weakened auras. Yun Xiao, sensing their presence, immediately understood the situation.
These people were clearly the Outer Disciples who had entered the Jade Pot Cave this time. Without exception, they had reached at least the late stages of the Meridian Introduction Realm, and some had even reached the peak of the Meridian Introduction Realm.
Unfortunately, as Yun Xiao clearly sensed, the guardian from the first layer to the second of the Jade Pot Cave was a cultivator in the early stage of the Meridian Gathering Realm. With him guarding here, it wasn’t going to be easy for the geniuses of the Meridian Introduction Realm level to pass through.
Yun Xiao didn’t know how many managed to enter the second layer of the Jade Pot Cave, fearing the numbers were not high, because those in the late stages and at the peak of Meridian Gathering Realm before his eyes were already among the best in this batch of Outer Disciples.
Fortunately, the guardian seemed to have a rather kind heart. Although he had injured these new Outer Disciples, he didn’t take their lives, but such an outcome might not be what those new geniuses wanted.
After a moment’s observation, Yun Xiao confidently advanced, swiftly approaching not far in front of the guardian. Sensing the guardian’s aura, his speed suddenly more than doubled.
"Kid, just give up, you won’t be able to get past me!" said the guardian dismissively, as he did not sense Yun Xiao’s true strength and considered him to be the same as those he had just defeated.
