Chapter 450 My Five Senior Brothers Are Too Clingy
The deafening cheers almost drowned out Shen Rugo. Xiao Qiushui was the first to rush forward, her face flushed with excitement. She grabbed Shen Rugo's arm with such force that Shen Rugo frowned, but Xiao Qiushui seemed oblivious, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Junior Sister! It really is you! You're back! We thought...we thought..."
His voice choked, and he couldn't continue speaking.
Immediately afterward, Chen Tianba squeezed in, slapping Shen Rugo's other shoulder hard with his large hand. The impact made her blood rush to her head, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice boomed like thunder: "Good! Good! It's good that you're back! I knew you had the best life!"
Ye Xinghe and Lu Haoran also gathered around, their faces filled with excitement and joy. Even the usually calm and composed senior brother Xiao Changkong could not hide the moisture and relief in his eyes.
He stood a little outside, watching Shen Rugo surrounded by her junior brothers, a smile playing on his lips.
The five senior brothers surrounded Shen Rugo, talking excitedly as if they wanted to pour out all the worries they had had over the past few days.
The other people from the Star Palace around them finally snapped out of their shock and crowded around, asking questions all at once.
The noise, questions, and cheers mingled together, creating an extremely lively scene.
Surrounded by people, Shen Rugo felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
"You bunch of brats, get out of here and let Rugo have some peace and quiet!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and Chen Tianba, Xiao Qiushui, and the others were sent flying. It was none other than Qinghe Daoist and Xingchen Daoist who squeezed forward.
"Uncle-Master Qinghe, Master!"
Shen Rugo looked at the two people in front of her and bowed respectfully.
"Good child, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
The two kept repeating this sentence, constantly touching Shen Rugo's head and face, as if afraid that she wasn't real.
Finally, the crowd calmed down a bit, and the noise subsided.
Only then did Shen Rugo have the opportunity to turn her gaze to the group of demonic beasts who had been kneeling respectfully in the distance, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Her gaze first fell on the leader of the Sky-Splitting Crocodiles.
Instantly, the excitement and gentleness on Shen Rugo's face vanished, replaced by a stern expression. "Sky-Splitting Crocodiles, what are you doing here?"
The massive body of the Sky-Splitter Crocodile trembled, its head burying even lower, almost touching the ground, and a whimpering sound came from its throat.
It had personally witnessed the girl's decisive and ruthless actions in the secret realm! That was a sense of awe from the depths of its soul.
The key point is that it came uninvited and brought so many monsters with it.
Not only it, but all the dozens of demonic beasts behind it, whether they were ferocious Crimson Flame Tigers or cunning Shadow Leopards, were trembling with fear.
Shen Rugo's terrifying combat prowess displayed in the secret realm had already been deeply imprinted in their hearts. Now, as her gaze swept over them, they felt a chill run from their tailbone straight to the top of their heads.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiushui quickly stepped forward and stood beside Shen Rugo, explaining in a low voice, "Junior Sister, don't blame them, this is what happened..."
Shen Rugo listened to Xiao Qiushui's explanation, her gaze slowly sweeping over the monsters such as the Sky-Splitting Crocodile. Seeing that they had indeed concealed their auras and were humble in their posture, which did not seem to be fake, she nodded: "In that case, you may stay here for the time being. Get up and come with me to the sect."
"Roar, thank you, Master!"
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile, feeling as if it had been granted a pardon, let out a low growl and led the other demonic beasts to their feet cautiously, obediently following behind Shen Rugo and the others.
The group finally entered the Star Palace gate.
The lively gathering lasted for a full half day before the crowd gradually dispersed at the urging of the Starry Sky Taoist.
However, the five senior brothers, Xiao Changkong, Ye Xinghe, Lu Haoran, Chen Tianba, and Xiao Qiushui, stayed close to Shen Rugo, as if afraid that their junior sister would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
Shen Rugo felt both touched and somewhat amused.
Suddenly, Shen Rugo seemed to remember something, her eyes flashing as she swept over Xiao Changkong and the other four.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, a powerful pressure permeated the entire cave!
He unleashed his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation without reservation, his spiritual power was pure and abundant, far surpassing others of the same level, giving people a sense of oppressive pressure!
"what?!"
"Late stage of Foundation Establishment?!"
"Junior Sister, how is this possible?"
Exclamations suddenly rang out, especially from Xiao Qiushui and Chen Tianba, who practically jumped up from the stone bench, their eyes wide like copper bells, staring intently at Shen Rugo as if they were looking at some monster.
"Junior Sister! You only just successfully established your foundation in the secret realm, it's only been a little over two months, how come you're already in the late stage?!"
Xiao Qiushui couldn't help but point at Shen Rugo, her tongue almost tied in knots.
He personally witnessed Shen Rugo's Foundation Establishment.
Chen Tianba was also filled with disbelief and shouted, "Fifth Brother! So you bastard have been lying to us all along, saying that Junior Sister had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Junior Sister, are you a monster?! It's been less than half a year since you left the sect, and you've already advanced from the Qi Refining stage to the late Foundation Establishment stage. How are we senior brothers supposed to live?"
Even Xiao Changkong, Ye Xinghe, and Lu Haoran were speechless.
Although they were already used to their junior sister's extraordinary talent and knew that she couldn't be judged by ordinary standards, her cultivation speed was still too astonishing.
Faced with her senior brothers' shock, Shen Rugo's face tightened. Instead of being smug, she looked intently at Xiao Changkong and the other four: "Five senior brothers, don't worry about me. Have you completed the cultivation tasks I gave you half a year ago?"
Six months ago, based on the individual aptitudes and bottlenecks of her five senior brothers, she set clear goals: the eldest senior brother, Xiao Changkong, needed to break through from the late stage of Golden Core to the peak of Golden Core within one year and three months; the second senior brother, Ye Xinghe, needed to break through from the middle stage of Golden Core to the late stage within one year; the third senior brother, Lu Haoran, needed to break through to the middle stage of Golden Core within one month; the fourth senior brother, Chen Tianba, needed to break through to the middle stage of Golden Core within eight months; and the fifth senior brother, Xiao Qiushui, needed to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment within three months.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the cave immediately became somewhat subtle.
Xiao Qiushui was the first to react, her face changing to a smug expression. She straightened her back, deliberately cleared her throat, and an aura no less powerful than Shen Rugo's rose up—early Golden Core stage! Moreover, her spiritual power was harmonious, her Dao foundation was solid, and she even carried a magnificent aura unique to the Heavenly Dao!
"Haha! Junior Sister, did you see that? Early Golden Core stage! And it's an early Golden Core stage with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment as its foundation!"
Xiao Qiushui stood with his hands on his hips, his chin practically pointing to the sky. He glanced sideways at Chen Tianba beside him and said provocatively, "Not only have I exceeded my mission targets, but now beating up an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator like Chen Laosi is like child's play!"
"Bullshit! Fifth Brother, you're asking for a beating!"
With a roar, Chen Tianba unleashed his powerful aura as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. His earth-yellow spiritual energy surged forth like a raging torrent as he swung his fist toward Xiao Qiushui's face. The force of his punch was fierce and carried the weight of a mountain.
"I'm not afraid of you! Today I'll show my junior sister who the real genius is!"
Xiao Qiushui showed no weakness. Her spiritual energy flowed around her, and she dodged Chen Tianba's heavy punch with a sway of her body. She then struck out with a backhand palm, creating a series of palm shadows like crashing waves.
