Qin Rui, the star of his generation in the Yuntai Qin Family and the top scholar from Central Province, was proud and arrogant, convinced he was second to none.
Even after Xu Wuyi had cleared the freshman challenge and performed brilliantly in the inter-courtyard competition, Qin Rui remained convinced he could catch up—and even surpass him.
As for the hurdle that was the Martial Master Realm, he estimated he could reach Level 29.9 within two to three months, polish his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and begin his attempts to break through.
But even Qin Rui didn't think he could break through on his first attempt.
He had faced a considerable bottleneck when advancing to the Martial Artist Realm. He was confident that even without relying on resources, he could have broken through in half a month at most.
But that was on the eve of the inter-courtyard competition. Qin Rui didn't want to waste time, so he'd simply used resources to force the breakthrough.
