Chapter 970: Over and Underachiever
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the steps of Wisdom at the Door of Wonder, all the cultivators worked hard to ascend. They were like students, devouring up a sea of knowledge.
At the same time, quite a few strong cultivators managed to break through the gray mist cultivators and white-haired monsters, entering the Door of Wonder and joining the ascension.
Supreme beings were all at least at the twenty-fifth step. It was very difficult for Wisdom Dictators to get past twenty steps unless they breakthrough any bottlenecks on the way.
Nanan and Dragin were already slowly catching up to the drunkard. As for Xiao Chengfeng and Yang Jian, they were quite slow. Both of them were stopped at the nineteenth step.
Cultivator Junjun, Juling Shen, and the others were not at the supreme being realm yet and were even slower. They stopped at the twelfth step.
With a wave of Cultivator Junjun’s hand, a book containing immense Wisdom formed in the air. He looked at the contents of the book, frowning at times and having looks of realization at others. He had a content smile on his face.
“We have to use this chance to become supreme beings!”
Even the brute, Juling Shen, had a rare moment of silence as he sat on the steps and looked at the books.
In the Heavenly Palace, only Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng became supreme beings. The others were anxious to catch up, and the Door of Wonder was a brilliant chance. They could not disappoint the expert!
Amidst the chaos, it was important for them to improve themselves.
“How’s that group so quick? Even if they’re supreme beings, surely they should be stopping for a while to understand things!”
“I’m a second step Wisdom Elite, and barely managed to get to the four-step. The highest one is already at the thirty-ninth step. That’s too crazy. How strong is he?!”
“He’s the Unrivaled, someone who can kill supreme beings in an instant. Of course, he’s terrifying.”
“He’s definitely terrifying, but why does he have such an ugly accessory on him?”
“I’m more interested in knowing how strong the cultivators from the Heavenly Palace are. They’re improving at unbelievable rates!”
“Even those two little girls and that dog are already at the twenty-ninth step. How terrifying!”
“Is this reasonable? It’s such a heavy blow to accept.”
…
Many of the cultivators on the steps really treasured the opportunity. As they got enlightened, their skills rapidly improved. However, they were not really that happy about it.
That was because what they gained was insignificant compared to another group.
It would not have affected them if they did not compare, but they looked on as others rapidly ascended, while they were merely stuck with that meager bit. They were naturally unhappy about it.
It was like someone earning ten thousand dollars. They should have been happy about it, but if they realized others made millions, it would be a different story.
“I understand now. So that’s the problem!”
The Unrivaled, who was immersed in his studies, suddenly let out a smile.
He finally understood why he stopped at the forty-first step during the last lifetime. That was because he was impatient in the thirty-ninth step and neglected a part of Wisdom. It caused his foundations to be unstable.
At that moment, the problem that trapped him for countless years was solved. He felt like Wisdom was suddenly wide open in front of him. Even ascending to the forty-ninth step would not be impossible. It was enough to beat Madman Chu from back then!
He was in no hurry to ascend but was attracted by some sounds from below.
He looked down and saw Nanan and Dragin’s progress. He suddenly let out a smile of disdain.
“Fools! What’s the point of just ascending so quickly? They don’t understand the meanings within. They won’t be able to progress that far. It’s not easy getting the Door of Wonder to open, but they’re not treasuring the opportunity. It’s far too foolish!”
The Unrivaled let out a cold smile. He felt like the protectors of this life were a lot worse than the last.
He continued to ascend, reaching the fortieth step.
“Wow, you really are Unrivaled. You actually reached the fortieth step. How did you do it? Teach me.”
At that moment, an annoying voice was heard next to the Unrivaled, frustrating the Unrivaled.
He finally remembered that there was an accessory on him!
He was too focused on studying, and actually ignored everything other than that. The ancient demon actually went quiet, not disturbing him.
However…
The ancient demon seemed to be about to start.
The Unrivaled was suddenly anxious.
Being interrupted when studying was the worst, especially by something like the ancient demon.
The Unrivaled said coldly, “What are you trying to do? I’m warning you, you better keep quiet!”
“You’re actually threatening me?!” The ancient demon widened his eyes, exclaiming in disbelief.
After that, he bit the Unrivaled as he said, “You’re threatening me? Are you sure you know what the situation is like? If you can even study today, then it’s my loss!”
He did not speak earlier because he was immersed in studying as well. However, the Unrivaled brought him to the fortieth step, which far exceeded his capabilities. He could not understand it at all, and could not gain anything, so he started to get livelier.
It was like an underachieving student sitting down with an overachiever. The overachiever would want to study earnestly, but the underachiever would not, and would constantly disturb the overachiever.
The ancient demon should not have been able to even get to the fortieth step, but his special circumstances allowed him to stick on the Unrivaled, ignoring the restrictions.
Just you wait!
The Unrivaled could not do anything to the ancient demon at that moment, but once the Unrivaled ascended even higher and his skills soared, the Unrivaled would definitely make sure the ancient demon regretted it!
The Unrivaled had dense killing intent in his eyes as he took a deep breath, turning serious as he focused on understanding Wisdom.
“Oh, you’re still trying to gain enlightenment? Come, try and do that. Your petty dreams, go. Fight. Who said the Unrivaled is actually Unrivaled…”
The ancient demon constantly shouted at the Unrivaled. At the same time, he bit on the Unrivaled. Even though it did not hurt, it was still incredibly disgusting.
The Unrivaled ignored him.
The ancient demon continued to sing. He was not just unbelievably ugly, he sounded horrible as well. It sounded like a broken drum and was incredibly difficult to listen to.
“Shut up right now!” the Unrivaled shouted, unable to focus at all. He used all his might to send the ancient demon flying.
The ancient demon flew out of the Door of Wonder from the fortieth step, but that horrible voice was quickly heard again. His figure flew in from outside.
“You’re so nasty! Why are you treating me this way? Is there anything wrong with me wanting to talk to you? Humans were given birth to by human mothers, and demons were given birth to by demon mothers. What was your mother?” The ancient demon latched on to the Unrivaled again, holding onto him.
“Boohoo…” The Unrivaled started to cry.
His eyes were wide and filled with hopelessness, “Ancient Demon, enough. I’m begging you. Can you please stop for a moment?”
