The Devil King? No, Please Call Me The Immortal King Xiaoyao.

"Wow, is that Gu Yue Yixin? He's really amazing, a Rank 2 High Stage."

"Yeah, and he's only 15! It probably won't be long before he becomes a clan elder."

"So handsome, this younger brother~ He's so good-looking and so strong. Aiya, I'll give you a chance to pursue me."

"Don't you have any shame? You're six or seven years older than him."

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm old?!"

"Aren't you? You old hag!"

"You!"

Yixin felt somewhat helpless. Because his Ten Extreme Physique was too difficult to suppress, he hadn't expected his cultivation to improve so quickly. But thankfully, he had completely secured his footing within the Gu Yue clan.

On his way here, everyone, regardless of gender or age, student or clan elder, greeted him. At 15 years old, reaching Rank 2 High Stage in just one year was an astonishing achievement that filled everyone's hearts with speculation.

It could be said that wherever he went, he caused a stir.

"It's true that fame brings trouble, but it can't be said that there are no benefits at all."

At least now, after this assessment, Yixin had achieved his two goals.

The first goal: was Fang Yuan.

Regarding the duel with Fang Yuan, was it really that Yixin couldn't beat him?

Of course not.

He was a Rank 2 High Stage, and what's more, he had a Rank 2 Sword Qi Gu, a Rank 2 Iron Sword Gu, and a White Jade Gu and a Devouring Gu. Combining these with his Dark Moon Flea and Moonlight Gu...

He had even created a killer move with extraordinary power, but he didn't use it.

Why didn't he use it?

This was his thank-you gift to Fang Yuan, thanking him for his reminder that night.

"By fighting him so fiercely, even if he's at Rank 1 Peak Stage, the Gu Yue clan will definitely value him as if he were Rank 2, and even give him some of the clan's benefits. After all, he can fight a Rank 2 High Stage to a draw, even if he hasn't reached Rank 2 yet."

However, another benefit of doing so was...

"Yixin, this is a Jade Skin Gu. Although your Moon Blade is indeed powerful and has many techniques, it still lacks some defense." Gu Yue Bo said with a smile, pulling Yixin down to sit and placing a Gu worm in front of him.

Yixin didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the Gu worm. "Thank you, Clan Leader."

"There's no need to be so polite. This is what I should do. By the way, how is your mother's condition now?" Gu Yue Bo suddenly changed the subject.

Yixin frowned, looking helpless. "It's still the same. She's been taking medicine for over a decade, but it still hasn't improved. I guess the medicine I gathered wasn't effective."

Gu Yue Bo gently patted Yixin's shoulder, comforting him, "Everyone can see your filial piety. Don't worry, as a pillar of the Gu Yue clan, the clan will definitely cure your mother."

Yixin was shocked and immediately knelt down to Gu Yue Bo. "Really? Thank you, Clan Leader."

Gu Yue Bo quickly helped him up. "Ah, Yixin." He said with a smile, "It's enough that you have this heart. You're such a filial child, you deserve these rewards."

Yixin understood in his heart, "If I weren't famous, who would be willing to listen to my suffering?"

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Yixin was currently walking home.

His pockets were bulging, filled with both the rewards from the assessment and what Gu Yue Bo had given him privately, totaling 300 primeval stones.

Plus a Jade Skin Gu, this assessment could be said to be very rewarding.

Moreover, Gu Yue Bo also told him that he and Fang Zheng had been assigned to Gu Yue Qingshu's team, and Gu Yue Qingshu would take good care of them.

"It's Gu Yue Qingshu again, and treatment at the medicine hall. It seems Gu Yue Bo wants to cultivate me as the next clan leader, but that's impossible. Who told Qing Mao Mountain to have a death trap?

"Two Rank 5 combatants, plus two Ten Extreme Physiques (one of whom is me), one Fang Yuan, and then there's Tie Xue Leng coming to stir things up. What's the point of becoming the clan leader? I'm afraid I'll be sucked dry by Gu Yue Yi the moment I come up."

"And as soon as my Ten Extreme Physique is exposed, I'll have to draw at least three hatreds: one Fang Yuan (the old demon, afraid of my explosion, definitely wants to get rid of me in advance), one Bai Ningbing (the madman), and one Gu Yue Yi (the pervert), all of whom want my life."

"My path is chosen. This is the price of not having power," Yixin resigned himself.

Suddenly, he felt something. "Who's there?"

A sharp sword instantly appeared in his hand. He turned around and slashed, and four dark purple Moon Blades suddenly pierced into a bamboo forest on the right.

A large area of bamboo fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Yixin looked closely and saw a patch of blood on the ground, but the figure was long gone.

"Fang Yuan, as expected, he couldn't resist testing me."

In the end, he turned back and returned to Gu Yue Bo's home.

The next morning.

"What? Fang Yuan? Is that so? This is probably just a misunderstanding." Gu Yue Bo looked at the injured Fang Yuan with a shocked expression.

"Clan Leader, Gu Yue Yixin definitely feels that he didn't win against me and that it damages his reputation as a Rank 2 High Stage, so he casually attacked me."

"How did you encounter each other?" Gu Yue Bo asked.

"I was taking a walk in the bamboo forest that day and happened to see him. I wanted to say hello to him, but he suddenly attacked and injured me."

"I suspect he must have cultivated some evil technique and doesn't even recognize his own clan members."

"How can you say that? Would I not know if he's cultivating an evil technique? Alright, I'll warn him." Gu Yue Bo seemed to have expected this and gave Fang Yuan a meaningful look.

"Yixin probably didn't see you clearly and thought you were some kind of wild beast. And it's normal for him to be so vigilant. His life has been difficult since he was a child, and he finally has today's achievements, so he will naturally be a little worried and have a lot of mental stress."

"Of course, you are all pillars of the clan and shouldn't hurt the harmony."

"How about this, I'll compensate you on behalf of Yixin in the name of the clan. I hope you can work together and strive for the future of our Gu Yue clan."

With that, Gu Yue Bo took out a Copper Skin Gu.

Seeing that Gu Yue Bo seemed to have known about this for a long time and had prepared the Gu worm in advance, Fang Yuan had no choice but to put down the plan in his heart. "The Clan Leader is right, I misunderstood."

Then, he accepted the Gu worm and left this place.

"I was originally thinking of putting a crime on him and letting Gu Yue Bo probe his aperture, but he told Gu Yue Bo in advance."

"I still don't know why he's advancing so quickly. Fang Zheng is also Grade A, but he's far from reaching his speed. Could it be that he really had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a Gu worm that can quickly improve his cultivation, or did Gu Yue Bo give him a Relic Gu?" Fang Yuan's eyes were deep.

"Unfortunately, his vigilance is too strong. As soon as I made a move, he dared to attack directly, and even used a technique that he had never shown in the arena last time. It seems I need to find a way to put him in a life-or-death situation to see his trump cards."

"Gu Yue Yixin, what kind of person are you?"

"Ah~ Ah!"

In Yixin's bedroom, painful groans came again.

Within the aperture, crimson primeval essence erupted again.

"Damn it, this is the third time. In just three weeks, I've gone from Rank 2 Initial Stage to Rank 2 Middle Stage, and then from Rank 2 Middle Stage to Rank 2 High Stage."

"Is it still not stopping like this!?"

"Even Bai Ningbing isn't this terrifying, right? No, Bai Ningbing has Gu worms that accelerate primeval essence consumption and Gu worms that nourish the aperture. At least he has methods. I don't have any methods at all."

"No, if this continues, don't even mention the Yin Yang Reversal Life Gu. I estimate that I'll explode before Gu Yue Yi is even born."

"Suppress it, suppress it for me!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yixin was exhausted again. He knelt on the bed, drenched in sweat. "God, I almost reached Rank 2 Peak Stage. This... this is too outrageous."

It was simply unimaginable that in just three weeks, he had continuously advanced three small realms. This speed was too terrifying.

"Is this still Gu cultivation? This is clearly a bomb!"

Suddenly, Yixin, who was complaining, seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his head. The door didn't know when it had opened, and Gu Yue Qingyao was looking at him with a shocked expression.

"Mom?!"
