“Who is this Little Monk? Why do I feel like he's very powerful?”

Xie Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He subconsciously wanted to get up and cozy up to the white-robed Little Monk, and incidentally probe his background.

Unexpectedly.

The white-robed Little Monk's gaze had already been attracted by the Bright Light Fist on the wall, and he directly sat down cross-legged to begin comprehending the Bright Light Fist.

Xie Yuan could only give up.

Furthermore, he himself didn't have much time left, so he simply refocused and continued cultivating.

Soon, two hours passed.

Xie Yuan gradually felt that he was only a step away from the Great Accomplishment Realm of the Bright Light Fist.

He was secretly pleased, and was about to redouble his efforts to cross that final step.

Suddenly—

Ye Li, who had been sitting motionless since he sat down, suddenly stood up.

His expression was exceptionally confident and arrogant.

Facing the stone chamber wall, he directly raised his fist and struck.

“Open!”

Xie Yuan was about to laugh when his expression suddenly changed.

On the wall of the stone chamber, a Stone Gate suddenly opened, and then Ye Li swept his gaze over everyone before striding through the Stone Gate.

“How is that possible?”

Xie Yuan was so shocked he sprang up from the ground.

He clearly remembered that this fellow Ye Li's Realm in Bright Light Fist was even lower than his, merely Minor Accomplishment.

This was enough to prove that Ye Li's Aptitude was not as good as his.

But how could Ye Li have surpassed him in just two short hours, coming from behind?

Xie Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

He knew something must have gone wrong somewhere.

But what surprised him even more was that after Ye Li crossed the Stone Gate, the Stone Gate did not disappear like before.

But before he could figure out the reason, the white-robed Little Monk actually stood up as well.

He voluntarily bowed to Peerless prodigies like Ning Bufan and Bai Xianhe.

“Esteemed benefactors, this Little Monk shall take his leave first.”

After speaking, he actually turned his head and crossed the Stone Gate, and it was only then that the Stone Gate disappeared.

“Impossible!”

Xie Yuan was even more shocked this time, almost roaring with all his strength, his veins bulging on his face and neck.

It was one thing for Ye Li to suddenly come from behind; after all, Ye Li had been in this stone chamber for over two days, comprehending and cultivating the Bright Light Fist for a long time. Perhaps, under stimulation, he had achieved a sudden enlightenment effect, which was still possible.

But what about that white-robed Little Monk?

From his arrival to his departure, he had only stayed in this stone chamber for two hours.

Completing the test of the first stone chamber in two hours? What kind of heaven-defying Aptitude is this?

Thinking of two hours, he couldn't help but think of Li Yun again.

His eyes stared fixedly at the line of words Li Yun had left on the wall.

“Finished in two hours, it's really not difficult, later comers keep up the good work, —Li Yun left this!”

Xie Yuan's mind was a blur.

He originally thought this was just Li Yun trying to be mysterious, deliberately leaving words to exaggerate his ability, and he didn't believe anyone in this world could complete the test of this stone chamber within two hours.

But now—

What could he say?

He literally couldn't say anything.

The appearance of the white-robed Little Monk had proven one thing: there really are people in this world who can complete the test of this stone chamber within two hours.

Li Yun's message should not be fake; even if it was exaggerated, he probably really did complete the test within a few hours.

Plus the white-robed Little Monk.

These two people completely crushed all the Peerless prodigies in this world in terms of talent and Aptitude!

Originally, Xie Yuan had never truly admired anyone in his heart, but at this moment, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards this mysterious white-robed Little Monk and Li Yun.

He took a deep breath and quickly looked towards Ning Bufan and the others.

“Everyone, who exactly is that Little Monk? Why is his talent and Aptitude so terrifying?”

But unexpectedly, Ning Bufan and the others all shook their heads.

“We don't know either.”

“We only know that he calls himself from Cloud-Coming Temple, and his Dharma name is Xu Ming.”

“Shortly after we were defeated and knocked down from Ascending Cloud Road by the Wantu Kingdom Peerless prodigies, he suddenly appeared and helped many of us heal, which allowed us to re-ascend Ascending Cloud Road within just two days.”

“Little Shifu Xu Ming is a truly kind-hearted Little Monk.”

“In our eyes, he is like a clear mirror, radiating pure and flawless light.”

When speaking of Little Monk Xu Ming.

Ning Bufan and the others' faces showed gratitude.

“Cloud-Coming Temple? Xu Ming?”

Xie Yuan frowned tightly.

He didn't care about Ning Bufan and the others being knocked down from Ascending Cloud Road by the Wantu Kingdom Peerless prodigies; he was more interested in knowing Xu Ming's origin.

But no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't recall what kind of place Cloud-Coming Temple was.

In his helplessness.

He could only put aside his thoughts and continue cultivating.

Meanwhile—

The second stone chamber exploded.

The six Wantu Kingdom Peerless prodigies.

Zhao Ziyue, Ye Tianxie, Bi Yusheng.

The nine of them were originally gathered in one room, having just seen Yang Yundu leave not long ago. They were still diligently comprehending the Demon Subduing Sword and had just achieved initial mastery.

As a result, Ye Li arrived.

Everyone was very clear about Ye Li's level in the first stone chamber before; while he wasn't a complete novice, it was basically impossible for him to complete the test within the stipulated three days.

In their view, apart from being trapped in the first stone chamber and enveloped by Sinful Fiend energy, there was basically no other outcome for Ye Li.

But the outcome was so unexpected.

Even that was one thing, but right after Ye Li, a young white-robed Little Monk actually arrived as well.

This was simply unbelievable…

They had never seen this white-robed Little Monk in the first stone chamber before, which meant that the white-robed Little Monk only arrived at the first stone chamber after they had entered the second stone chamber.

They had only been in the second stone chamber for two hours, yet the white-robed Little Monk had also arrived at the second stone chamber.

Doesn't this mean that the white-robed Little Monk only took two hours to complete the test of the first stone chamber?

This is simply too bizarre!

Instantly.

Everyone, the six Wantu Kingdom Peerless prodigies, Zhao Ziyue, Ye Tianxie, Bi Yusheng, plus Ye Li, all stared fixedly at the white-robed Little Monk Xu Ming.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Little Monk, how did you do it?”

“You cultivated the Bright Light Fist to Great Accomplishment in just two hours?”

“Amitabha… This Little Monk, Xu Ming of Cloud-Coming Temple, greets all esteemed benefactors.”

“My Shifu says that those who have left home should not lie. This Little Monk dares not violate my Shifu's teachings. This Little Monk dares not hide anything from all esteemed benefactors. This Little Monk did not cultivation the Bright Light Fist to Minor Accomplishment, but to Perfection.”

What… the heck!

Looking at the white-robed Little Monk Xu Ming, with his shy and simple expression, everyone present had an urge to bang their heads against the wall.

Not Great Accomplishment, but Perfection?

He could actually exceed the test requirements, and in just two hours?

Isn't this even more impressive than Li Yun?

Damn it, you might as well not have told the truth!
