As these words were said, all the cultivators in the Immortal Realm Forum fell silent, because the speed of cultivation is like those records in the sports world—what sort of talent and qualifications, coupled with a cultivation technique, how much time, and to what extent one cultivates, are almost set in stone.

Before this, in the Cultivation World, the record for cultivating from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, with the best natural talent and most powerful cultivation technique, had been set at ten months.

This was already a height that all cultivators found difficult to reach.

Just like a world record looming above everyone else, dominating the Cultivation World for thousands of years, not to mention surpassing this record, even catching up to it, was a dream for those in the Cultivation World.

Not only that.

Breaking a record in the Cultivation World is much harder than breaking a record in the mundane sports world.

Even a one-second improvement is considered a remarkable feat.

But what about Shen Qiang?

The record that had stood unbroken for thousands of years, set by the Unrivaled Sword Saint after ten months, was achieved by him in just three months' time.

As for the so-called idea that Shen Qiang, without the Unrivaled Sword Technique, wouldn't possibly surpass the Unrivaled Sword Saint in the future, is actually a joke.

Because all cultivators are clear.

Any cultivator, upon reaching the Dao Fruit Stage, will possess the techniques most suitable to themselves, it can be said that after reaching the Dao Fruit Stage, every cultivator is a master, each one having reached the realm of 'the artless' victory over 'the artful.'

The so-called cultivation techniques, and every move and form, are all jokes in front of such cultivators.

And now, Shen Qiang, who has easily shattered the records set by the Unrivaled Sword Saint, as long as he doesn't die, will surely enter the Dao Fruit Stage and inevitably become a supreme powerhouse dominating over one side!

The forum was quiet.

Meanwhile, outside the martial arts club, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect, with a pale face, had come back to his senses and, looking at Shen Qiang, who emitted a Divine Sense and was surrounded by Spiritual Energy, once again confirmed that Shen Qiang had indeed entered the Nascent Soul Stage. He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart, and said sternly, "Let's go."

Having said that, he led his people away.

The many cultivators, who had gathered in twos and threes outside the club, hesitated only slightly upon hearing his words, before they too scattered and left.

Because by then, Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, Ji Liangchuan, as well as Qianshan Xue and Aili, had all arrived in front of Shen Qiang.

Unlike that old fogey, the Sect Leader of Long Yan Sword Sect.

They were all young late bloomers in the Cultivation World.

All of them were outstanding youths within the Cultivation World, with knowledge, background, and ability.

Ordinary cultivators, in front of such individuals, would only make a fool of themselves by trying to socialize, so now that they had confirmed Shen Qiang's cultivation, they dispersed immediately, especially since Provincial City was in the midst of a standoff between the Shen family and the Long Yan Sword Sect.

No sensible cultivator wanted to get involved in their conflict.

"Shen Qiang, you really are amazing," said Bai Jiao, small in stature with a sweet smile, looking at Shen Qiang in amazement, "With your cultivation talents, you could dominate the Cultivation World."

Xu Nan smiled and said to Shen Qiang, "Indeed, a soldier who doesn't see action for three days must be treated with newfound respect."

Ji Liangchuan's eyes shone brightly, "Shen Qiang, let me be your little brother."

Shen Qiang gave Ji Liangchuan a disdainful look as if from an elder brother, then said with a smile, "Thanks to all of you; if you hadn't been here today, that Sect Leader from Long Yan Sword Sect might have wanted to do something to me."

The three of them laughed.

At that moment, standing just on the outskirts, Qian Shanxue said, "Shen Qiang, don't forget the reason you came here is to fight Cheng Hai in the ring. Hurry up, I don't have time to linger here too long."

Upon hearing this,

Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Ji Liangchuan all sensitively turned their attention towards Qian Shanxue.

Qian Shanxue, at this time, was dressed in a military uniform, looking valiant and spirited, her tall and graceful figure, her shining eyes, and the resolute quality honed in the military. Although Xu Nan and Bai Jiao's gazes showed an inexplicable sense of rejection, it caused Ji Liangchuan, who was tall and powerfully built with a handsome face, to light up.

"This must be Miss Qian Shanxue from the Dragon Group, I presume." Ji Liangchuan, putting on what he thought was a very handsome and suave air, walked up to Qian Shanxue and extended his hand, saying, "I'm Ji Liangchuan."

Unexpectedly,

Qian Shanxue ignored his outstretched hand as if she hadn't seen it at all and glanced at her wristwatch instead: "Shen Qiang, I don't have much time. I can only stay here at most for another fifteen minutes."

"If you're busy, you can go ahead!" Bai Jiao looked up at Qian Shanxue with what seemed to be a hostile gaze.

Qian Shanxue continued to ignore her.

Just then, much to Shen Qiang's surprise, Xu Nan laughed and said, "Exactly, Shen Qiang's affairs don't seem to need your concern, right?"

Upon hearing the clear solidarity between the two,

Aili standing behind Qian Shanxue became unhappy and said with a hidden sharpness in her voice, "Ah, but our Colonel and Shen Qiang are very close, not something those fair-weather friends can compare with."

Bai Jiao's face immediately turned sour.

Seeing this situation,

Shen Qiang quickly said, "Great, since everyone is here today, let's all cheer me on, come on, let's go find Cheng Hai."

With that, Shen Qiang went straight into the club without looking back.

There was no helping it, as Shen Qiang had detected the thick scent of gunpowder between Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Qian Shanxue and Aili. Although he wasn't clear on the specifics, he knew that if the women started to argue, it could become very troublesome.

So Shen Qiang thought the best method was to quickly divert their attention while their antagonism wasn't yet obvious and before any faces were torn.

Inside the combat club,

Cheng Hai, dressed in shorts, was practicing boxing in the ring with a sparring partner. Upon seeing Shen Qiang, he signaled for the training to stop.

The sparring partner left the ring.

At this moment, all those muscular men in the club with their streamlined forms and cold gazes looked mockingly at Shen Qiang.

"Tsk tsk, Shen Qiang, you actually dared to come here." A tall man laughed, "You've got guts, but against our Brother Hai, five seconds would be more than enough to deal with someone like you."

Shen Qiang frowned and, with his divine sense, confirmed that the man was just an ordinary person.

Thus, Shen Qiang completely ignored him.

At this, the fighters training around them also started chuckling coldly.

"Our fight club is a supreme presence in University City. No big boss dares to show off here because our Brother Hai will teach them how to behave using his fists."

"Hahaha, remember the big shot from the city, what was his name? Fierce, right? He swaggered in here with a bunch of men. In the end, he stepped into the ring and got knocked out with one punch. You, Shen Qiang, strutting around with your little gang on campus is fine, but coming here..."

"Shut up." Cheng Hai, leaning on the railing of the ring, cut off his underlings and then, to their surprise, looked at Shen Qiang seriously and said in a deep voice, "Shen Qiang, I now feel that you might be the most threatening guy I've come across in these years. So come on, I'll give it my all!"
