Chapter 469: Four hundred sixty-eight, Competition (1)
The middle-aged cultivator was stunned upon hearing Luo Shu say she was nineteen, and when he heard Luo Shu’s cultivation, he felt as if he’d been struck by a heavy punch, waves of dizziness hitting him. Nineteen and already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak—is this some kind of joke?
It wasn’t just him who was stunned; the Nascent Soul Elder and the line of disciples from the Upper Pavilion behind him were all dumbfounded as well. Nineteen? She’s only nineteen? How is that possible?
Chu Rongying and Ouyang Meng exchanged smiles. Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone around them, a rush of exhilaration surged in their hearts. Thankfully, they had not disclosed Luo Shu’s age, or they would have missed out on witnessing this scene.
Luo Shu, observing the expressions of the Nascent Soul Elder and his group, was somewhat puzzled. They already knew her cultivation level, right? Chu Rongying and Ouyang Meng had not informed her about the issues of cultivation and age, so she was still unclear about what her age and cultivation signified here.
"Luo Shu, are you really only nineteen?" the Nascent Soul Elder took a while to regain his senses and asked. He felt that, one day, he would be scared to death by this freakish Luo Shu. When he first learned about Luo Shu’s cultivation, he thought she was like him, already over a thousand years old. Unexpectedly, she was only nineteen.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Luo Shu asked, baffled.
"There’s a problem, of course, there’s a problem. Do you understand what it means to be a nineteen-year-old Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator?" the Nascent Soul Elder asked excitedly. What luck had the Upper Pavilion struck this time to have recruited such an extraordinary prodigy like Luo Shu?
"Entering the Nascent Soul Stage is usually around five hundred years of age, and for those with slightly lesser talent, it’s at least eight to nine hundred years, or even a thousand. Do you understand what I mean?" the Nascent Soul Elder asked.
