9.14 – It really gave him a special sense of achievement when he saw it

Yu Shaofeng did not participate in the inter-sect competition, but Chi Jian and Xue Ling both did. As a spectator, he felt a little stifled.
Xue Ling did not try to console him, but Chi Jian told him: “This is my first and last time participating. Perhaps you should look forward to the fact that your cultivation might exceed the competition regulations by the time the next competition comes around?"
Yu Shaofeng’s talent should be the highest amongst the people who had been accepted into Sky Sword Sect during the recent disciple recruiting convention. He joined Still Peak, which was considered the peak with the highest density of spiritual Qi. He had a martial brother whose cultivation level would also immediately rise up every time he casually cultivated, and a Master who was strong enough to be completely unshakeable to look up to. It made his current cultivation level seem like nothing special, but at the end of the day, he had only joined the sect a short time ago, and he hadn’t even participated in any actual combat yet. It would be against established practices for him to participate in an inter-sect competition like this now. But in fact, based on his strength, if he didn’t participate in this competition, perhaps his strength would have exceeded the competition limits the next time the inter-sect competition
Until the Fenshen stage, based on the purity of Yu Shaofeng's spiritual root, as long as his spiritual power accumulated to a certain level, he would rise up in ranks. Basically, he didn’t even need to cultivate his spiritual consciousness - he only needed to allow it to grow along with his strength, and it would smoothly grow along with his cultivation. cJHhxN
Participating in the inter-sect competition would not be very useful to him. If it hadn't been that Xue Ling wanted to obtain the map fragment for the secret realm and give it to Yu Shaofeng so that he could find good things, Xue Ling also would have disdained participating in the competition.
Once Chi Jian had spoken, Xue Ling followed his lead and continued, "This kind of inter-sect competition can help you gain experience, but you can also do that when you go out and wander about. If you really want to, after the Sishui Secret Realm, I'll forge your sword for you, and you can go out and temper yourself with Chi Jian.”
After all, Yu Shaofeng was the protagonist. It was not difficult to keep him shut in one place before he ever came out to see the world, but since he had already come out, there was no reason to shut him back in. Xue Ling was ready to let go - since Chi Jian had already showed up, with him around, these two would probably be able to make it through most things.
There was no need to ask why Xue Ling felt more relieved with Chi Jian than Yu Shaofeng. Chi Jian had already tempered himself on his travels many times as he trained his sword intent, and had much more life experience than the genuinely silly and sweet Yu Shaofeng. Let alone, he was Yu Shaofeng's destined companion, and they would have a greater chance of running into more trouble together. Their chances of turning bad luck into good luck were also higher, and their chances of successfully getting more powerful were even greater this way. d95nq
“Martial brother, are you serious?” Yu Shaofeng found it unbelievable. After all, his martial brother has always been unreliable and short-sighted, and if he couldn't see him, he would often feel uneasy. Why was it that he was now so casually willing to throw him out?
“Of course I'm serious.” Xue Ling looked at the time. Tomorrow, the grand inter-sect competition would start, and five days later, it would end and the Sishui Secret Realm would be opened. The secret realm would remain open for two months, which was enough for him to create a sword. "We still have two months' time, and then I'll need to go back and face the wall in punishment."
Yu Shaofeng looked embarrassed. After all, his elder martial brother needed to face the wall because of him. And he was going to go out and play while his martial brother was being punished… no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like a good little martial brother at all…
“Enough. Who are you trying to look guilty for? I, your martial brother, does not need your guilt. Bring Chi Jian with you and get out - the further the better. It's enough if I don't need to see you and feel irritated." Xue Ling planned to use the three months of wall punishment to break through to Chuqiao. After three months, his cultivation level should also have stabilized. 5wdHL3
Since he wanted to let protagonist out and wander, he naturally needed to improve his own strength so that they would have some backing while they were running around provoking the world.
