Xu Yang stepped into the courtyard and saw Sun Tao, his spirits high and his face flushed with vigor. A faintly oppressive aura emanated from his body.
He instantly understood what had happened. Smiling, he cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Sun, on achieving Qi Cultivation Gang and advancing to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm."
Sun Tao's face was filled with joy. "Just a bit of luck," he said. "You must be close too, Junior Brother Xu. Now that you've comprehended Wind and Thunder Strength, achieving Qi Cultivation Gang shouldn't be difficult for you."
Xu Yang nodded. "It should just take a little more time."
Sun Tao said, "It's all that old dog's fault. If he hadn't assigned you that mission and wasted your time, with your talent, you might have achieved Qi Cultivation Gang even before I did."
His resentment toward Xiao Hua was even greater than Xu Yang's.
