Red Rain Sect!
Elder Fei Jing had already returned and was reporting to the Sect Master and other elders.
"Are you saying you encountered three Heavenly Luo Illusion Beasts at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Realm?"
One elder's eyebrows furrowed as he asked.
His own strength was also at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, so he was well aware how terrifying a demonic beast at that level could be.
"That's right!"
Elder Fei Jing nodded slightly.
"Were there any casualties among the disciples?"
Another elder spoke up to ask.
"There were no casualties among the disciples!"
Elder Fei Jing shook his head.
"Alright. Elder San, take some people and go slay those three Heavenly Luo Illusion Beasts, then rearrange the assessment!"
The Sect Master nodded and commanded.
Then he looked towards Elder Fei Jing, "Elder Fei Jing handled this very well this time. Encountering such dangerous demonic beasts, it's only natural to first retreat back to the Red Rain Sect!"
"But...Sect Master, those three demonic beasts have already been slain. The disciples' assessment has also been completed!"
Just as the elders were nodding slightly, Elder Fei Jing helplessly spoke up.
"Ah? Isn't Elder Fei Jing's strength only at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Realm? Could it be there was help from another sect?"
Hearing Fei Jing's words, the elders spoke up to ask again.
"No, there was no outside help! It was Elder Su Tong who made the kill when we encountered the three Heavenly Luo Illusion Beasts!"
Elder Fei Jing said.
"What?"
"Elder Su Tong?"
"How is that possible?"
"Isn't his cultivation only at the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
Hearing Fei Jing's words, the many elders revealed looks of astonishment.
"Elder Su Tong...has stepped into the second layer of the Qi Condensation Realm!"
When Elder Fei Jing spoke these words, even she herself felt it was unbelievable.
But the facts were just that, so she could only truthfully report.
Therefore, Elder Fei Jing also knew that this matter would surely astonish these elders even more.
But after a while, there was still no response. Fei Jing looked over, only to see all the people in the room stunned speechless.
It was only after a long time that they recovered from their shock.
"Impossible!"
"That's right, Elder Su Tong has only been in the Red Rain Sect for two months!"
"There must be some mistake!"
"Back then, Elder Su Tong didn't even know what cultivation was!"
"I'd believe it if you said he was at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm now, but the second layer of the Qi Condensation Realm? Impossible!"
After reacting, the group of elders immediately began speaking out.
But not a single one believed it.
Only Luo Zi Yin's brows furrowed slightly, seemingly pondering something.
"Why is everyone gathered here?"
Just then, Su Tong walked in directly from outside.
He was still holding a small demonic beast in his hand.
"Elder Su Tong!"
Seeing Su Tong come in, the elders inside all looked over.
They wanted to see if they could find anything from Su Tong's appearance, but they discovered nothing.
"Elder Su Tong, just now Elder Fei Jing reported some things that happened during your experiential training. You encountered three demonic beasts at the Qi Condensation Realm?"
The Head Elder couldn't help asking.
"Mm, just three Heavenly Luo Illusion Beasts at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Realm. Is this something that needs to be reported as well?"
Su Tong nodded.
In his opinion, these were all trivial matters.
After all, those three Heavenly Luo Illusion Beasts had escaped from the Beast Control Sect.
"But...the first layer of the Qi Condensation Realm? Ahem, those three Heavenly Luo Illusion Beasts were killed by Elder Su Tong?"
The Head Elder asked again.
"Mm, yes!"
Su Tong did not conceal it.
"Elder Su Tong...has the strength of the second layer of the Qi Condensation Realm?"
The Head Elder asked the most crucial question.
Hearing this question, the other elders also hurriedly looked over.
But Su Tong just shook his head.
"Phew, looks like Elder Fei Jing was mistaken!"
The Head Elder breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
"That's right, how could it be possible!"
"Elder Su Tong must have some other method!"
"That's right, to be able to slay demonic beasts at the first layer of the Qi Condensation Realm is already very strong!"
Hearing this, the other elders also breathed sighs of relief.
They had cultivated for decades, even centuries, before stepping into the Qi Condensation Realm. If Su Tong had truly cultivated for just two months to reach the second layer, wouldn't they feel utterly depressed?
But Su Tong's next sentence left them dumbstruck.
"I've already reached the strength of the fifth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm!"
As Su Tong spoke, a tyrannical aura erupted.
A gust of wind blew through the council hall, caused by Su Tong's imposing manner.
"The Qi Condensation Realm!"
"The fifth...fifth layer!"
"He really reached it!"
"Just two months' time, from just entering the sect to reaching the fifth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm. What preposterous perception is this!"
Now even if Su Tong wasn't present, the elders would still cry out that he was a monster.
Indeed, Su Tong's tremendous comprehension talent simply could not be described as just a genius.
Only the word 'monster' could describe the current Su Tong.
"Cultivation isn't that difficult!"
Su Tong shook his head. Was it necessary to be so shocked?
If Su Tong didn't find cultivation so tedious, his current strength would likely be even higher.
But even so, this was still horrifying in the elders' eyes.
"Ahem, Su Tong, did you come here for something?"
At this time, Luo Zi Yin forcibly changed the topic for the sake of the elders to avoid further blows from Su Tong.
She was afraid if Su Tong kept this up, these elders who had spent decades, even centuries, to reach the Qi Condensation Realm would spit blood from frustration, or even begin to doubt life itself.
Although Luo Zi Yin was also quite shocked, after all, she had spent seven years to finally step into the Qi Condensation Realm.
If she hadn't been born in the Red Rain Sect and received strengthening from treasured artifacts and medicines since childhood, and started cultivating from the age of three, her current strength likely wouldn't match up to Su Tong's.
"I discovered this demonic beast cub in the forest. I felt it was rather peculiar, so I wanted to have the elders take a look and identify what kind of demonic beast this is!"
Su Tong had indeed come to inquire about this matter.
Elder Fei Jing could handle the reporting. He was only interested in this little demonic beast at the moment.
After all, it was a demonic beast that possessed powerful lightning talents from birth.
"Elder Two, you're most knowledgeable about demonic beasts, please take a look!"
Luo Zi Yin had Elder Two help take a look.
Elder Two nodded and went to Su Tong's side to examine the little demonic beast in his hand.
At first glance there was nothing, but upon closer inspection he was somewhat shocked.
"This is..."
Before finishing speaking, he looked carefully again.
Only then did he say, "A Lei Jing Beast!"
"What?"
Hearing Elder Two's words, the group of elders were also rather surprised.
They naturally recognized the Lei Jing Beast.
"Why are you all making those expressions? Is this guy very strong?"
Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Tong also realized this Lei Jing Beast was likely not simple!
"If this Lei Jing Beast fully matures, its peak strength can match a cultivator at the Returning Void Realm!"
Elder Two explained.
Then his brows furrowed again, "Elder Su Tong, where did you capture this Lei Jing Beast cub? If its mother detects it, the Red Rain Sect may be in trouble!"
"The elder can rest assured, this Lei Jing Beast's mother has already been slain!"
Su Tong shook his head and said.
Hearing this, the crowd was shocked again as they looked at Su Tong. Could it be that the Lei Jing Beast that reached the Returning Void Realm was also slain by Su Tong?
