When they realized their newfound cultivation levels, their reactions mirrored Wu Zimo’s astonishment.

Martial energy?

They could hardly believe that all of them had successfully broken through to the martial energy level.

“Zimo, you’ve also reached martial energy?” Hong Fang, the oldest and most meticulous among them, asked. Since they had all awakened at almost the same time and announced their breakthrough, he was curious about Wu Zimo’s progress since he had woken up later.

Wu Zimo nodded. “Yes, I’ve also broken through to martial energy.”

The fact that all four of them had achieved martial energy breakthroughs in just two days and two nights was remarkable. Furthermore, they had started off as individuals deemed useless in cultivation.

As this realization sank in for the four of them,

Wu Zimo knelt down before Gu Chaoyan. “Miss Chaoyan, we dare not consider ourselves your disciples, but you have saved our lives and guided our cultivation. We can never repay your kindness.”

Mixed emotions swirled within the four of them.

The suddenness of it all left them elated yet uncertain about how to express their gratitude.

Gu Chaoyan remained composed.

The rapidity of their breakthroughs did not astonish her since her own cultivation progress far surpassed theirs. Furthermore, everything she had orchestrated was part of her plan.

“No need for such formalities. Your task is to strive hard in the competition, secure the barrier, and grant me the time to study it. I had a purpose in doing all this. You need not burden yourselves with gratitude. However…”

“As I’ve mentioned before, I have already taken you as my disciples. However, don’t get too presumptuous. As long as you retain your innocence and remain devoted to your cultivation, that will suffice,” Gu Chaoyan stated.

The four of them exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, expressing their gratitude once again.

Gu Chaoyan didn’t want to waste any more time and swiftly moved on.

Noticing that Sword One and Lingyun were still asleep, she continued, “Since you have just reached the martial energy level, drink another jar of peach wine and continue your cultivation. Strive to break through to the level of martial artists as soon as possible. Once you become martial artists, we will proceed to the Bai Clan first to assess the situation and devise a plan for your cultivation and victory.”

The four of them nodded with determination in their eyes.

They no longer harbored doubts about their capabilities; their sole focus was on ensuring Gu Chaoyan’s satisfaction.

Having experienced a rapid breakthrough to martial energy, they understood that with diligent effort, they could advance further to become martial artists swiftly. They aimed to elevate their cultivation levels before the competition, increasing their chances of obtaining a profound artifact!

After consuming the peach wine, Gu Chaoyan retrieved a handful of Spirit Stones from her interspace and distributed them to each of them.

“These Spirit Stones contain potent spiritual energy that will facilitate your cultivation,” Gu Chaoyan explained.

As they laid their eyes upon the precious Spirit Stones, their outstretched hands hesitated for a moment.

The value of these Spirit Stones was immense, and they couldn’t help but feel unworthy.

“I am your Master now,” Gu Chaoyan reminded them firmly.

With that reminder, they gratefully accepted the Spirit Stones, their hearts brimming with warmth.

Their own families had never bestowed such treasures upon them, but their Master had.

What had they done to deserve such generosity? They must devote themselves wholeheartedly to their practice!

Closing their eyes, the four of them delved into their cultivation.

Meanwhile…
