Chapter 232
"Good! Very good!"
Deacon Zhang shouted excitedly, joy overflowing in his eyes.
He’d already scanned Yao Santu’s body with divine awareness earlier – the Qi Palace in his Dantian was unmistakable. The young man had genuinely reached the first level of Gathering Qi realm, qualifying for the secret realm trial!
The two young helpers trembled with excitement.
"Amazing! Brother Santu did it!"
"Right! Never giving up! Pushing through to the end! We should work twice as hard now!"
While these three rejoiced, the surrounding crowd wore expressions of disbelief. This Yao Santu – whose terrible aptitude nearly got him expelled from the sect – had actually broken through to Gathering Qi within a year.
People racked their brains. No resources. No talent. No secret opportunities either. Every disciple at Artifact Towers knew Yao Santu followed the same dull routine daily, never leaving the compound. Where would he find fortune? Did they think some magical chance would fly in on its own?
After much speculation, everyone settled on the only possible explanation – this breakthrough stemmed from a full decade of relentless effort finally bearing fruit.
