The first to co to his senses was Li Kecheng.
It was a look of reverence directed at a god.
"My boss won, did you see that? That person just now was my boss, impressive, right?"
Just as Tang Rao got off the stage and saw Li Kecheng standing there shouting, he just felt embarrassed.
"Stop shouting, you only killed one person, it's embarrassing to make such a fuss."
Tang Rao's words, it was unclear whether they were directed at Li Kecheng or a humblebrag.
"Tang Rao, young friend, is indeed a talent, truly impressive!"
Mr. Wen wore a smile; his evaluation of Tang Rao was even higher than before.
"Speaking of which, we hired Yu Qiang at a high price, but he was defeated so easily, sigh!"
Several old n sighed, watching the Purple Crystal turn into butterflies and fly away.
"I told you it was your loss not to choose Tang Rao. It's not too late to establish a good relationship with him now."
Mr. Wen offered sincere advice, whether the others listened or not, he had done his part.
Tang Rao, a Lower God, defeated a Mid God so easily, how could he not have so skills?
"Does Tang Rao really have the skills you talked about?"
Several of them still didn't quite believe it; what they witnessed was Tang Rao's combat ability.
In their view, defeating a Mid God was nothing; anyone could take down a Mid God. What they valued in Tang Rao was his alchemy skills.
"Of course, can't you seasoned veterans see the changes in my body?"
Mr. Wen proudly showed himself to the veteran cultivators, and they noticed that Mr. Wen indeed looked more vigorous than before.
Tang Rao sat below the stage, his face had been slapped several tis by Yu Qiang, and he had taken a few punches; outwardly, he said he was fine, but only he knew inside he was in turmoil.
"Watch out for the people around , and don't let anyone disturb ."
Tang Rao quietly instructed Li Kecheng.
Li Kecheng understood and took Tang Rao's words as orders.
Tang Rao confidently swallowed an elixir pill, and soon, a massive force gathered in his Dantian.
Unlike in the Land of Immortals, with Tang Rao's ascension, his Dantian felt refreshingly full. However, once he reached the Divine Realm, although he felt he was ascending, which should be enjoyable, his Dantian was instead burning with pain.
"Xiao Ji Ji, am I too poisoned, or am I about to ascend? Why does my Dantian hurt, and my whole body, it hurts so much I'm on the verge of dying!"
The pain woke Jixing up.
"You poisoned?"
Jixing thought they were hearing an impossible joke.
"Of course it's the process of ascending. In the Divine Realm, ascension requires the Dantian to refurbish itself, so pain is expected."
To endure hardship is to beco superior.
Tang Rao's face was filled with black lines; previously he liked ascending because of the thrill afterwards, now he disliked it because it really friggin' hurt.
"Forget it, I don't want to ascend anymore, I think staying a Lower God is just fine."
He was about to ascend, yet now he wanted to stop, wasn't it a bit late?
"No way, this is your first ascension; if you interrupt it, it will be hard to find another suitable opportunity to ascend in the future."
If he doesn't ascend this ti, it will be even harder to ascend later?
No way, Tang Rao would rather endure the pain and make sure he ascends.
"Should I just endure it?"
Tang Rao sought Jixing's opinion,
"Endure, of course, endure it!"
To ascend so quickly indicates Tang Rao has the capability. Not seizing this opportunity would be truly foolish!
Tang Rao began enduring the intense pain, circulating the Immortal Energy from his limbs to his organs and finally to his Dantian. The fuller his Dantian beca, the more intense the pain all over his body felt. Until he was trembling with pain, sweat uncontrollably poured out of him, and then there was a thundering boom in his mind, as if his entire body had exploded.
"Have I ascended?"
The pain in Tang Rao's body hadn't completely subsided, but it was much more comfortable than before.
"Ah, refreshing."
Tang Rao opened his eyes, glancing around, and the people around him were thrown off by the leakage of Immortal Energy due to Tang Rao's ascension.
"Boss, have you ascended?"
Li Kecheng asked.
As a Lower God himself, not even at the peak of Lower God, Tang Rao should logically have had a harder ti than Li Kecheng. He ca from below as rely a Lower God and suddenly turned into a Mid God; such an impressive ascension speed made people in the Divine Realm green with envy.
"Yeah, I ascended! I think ascending in the Divine Realm is much easier than the Land of Immortals. After ascending to Mid God, I feel refreshed and much younger."
The people who had fallen to the ground stood up one by one, looking at Tang Rao as if he were so kind of monster.
"Mate, you just sat here and ascended with a little sweat?"
The man who had fallen quite badly thanks to Tang Rao's earlier antics curiously approached him.
"Is ascension difficult? I just sat here, and after a bit of pain in the Dantian, I ascended!"
Tang Rao had practiced this innocent expression at ho, making it incredibly convincing.
"Really, I've been a Lower God for a long ti now, but I've never been able to ascend. Could you give so tips?"
The man asked flatteringly.
"I can't really give you tips on this; I don't even understand it myself, I just sat here, and it happened!"
The man rely assud Tang Rao didn't want others to know, thus he was reluctant to explain.
"Alright, if you don't want to say, I won't force you; I know it's a secret."
But truly, this wasn't a secret; Tang Rao felt aggrieved.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say, he just didn't know how to describe it.
After the second competition, as Tang Rao was about to head back, unexpectedly, four judges ca down, blocking his way.
"Young friend, how about we have a al and chat?"
Huh?
Tang Rao looked baffled; he gazed at the group of old n, not knowing what they wanted from him.
"Old uncles, weren't you just giving trouble?"
Looking at the group, Tang Rao gave Mr. Wen an extra glance.
Mr. Wen wanted to explain to Tang Rao, but with so many people there, he didn't know how to start.
"No, we saw you ascending, so we didn't want to disturb you. But now that it's over, we'd like to discuss sothing with you."
They only approached Tang Rao after seeing his ascension; were they looking down on him before and now trying to butter him up?
"Nothing much to discuss, there's no real connection between us. I know I did well earlier, and you're envious of , but you don't need to co in person to say so."
Uh.
They truly didn't expect Tang Rao to be so thick-skinned!
"Tang Rao, young friend, did you perhaps misunderstand sothing?"
The four n had co to Tang Rao because of his elixir pills, not because they were struck by his audacity.
"Was it not because you admired my handsoness?"
Clearly not, but they never voiced that unspoken sentint.
