, "It's Brother Jiang! I've long heard of your great name...""Haha, Brother Chen Ping, you flatter me. Now, in the entire martial arts world, you are a household name.""This is Zhu Hao from the Southw...………………

Hongcheng, Panlong Bay Villas.

It has already been ten days, the golden light flickering inside Chen Ping's room has never stopped, and at this moment, Chen Ping is still striving for the final breakthrough.

Endless spiritual energy flowed through Chen Ping's body. He had pushed the Inner Gathering Art to its limits. The misty spiritual energy within his dantian began to coalesce into frost and dewdrops, forming tiny water mists. Above his dantian, a grain of rice-sized object shimmered with light.

This is the nascent form of Jindan. Chen Ping has now reached the critical moment of impact. He is most vulnerable at this time. If someone were to attack Chen Ping now, he would fail and be destroyed by backlash.

As Chen Ping's inner being underwent transformation, so too did his physical form. Every inch of his skin was covered in countless golden scales, shimmering like armor. But this covering would quickly vanish, only to reappear moments later, repeating this cycle endlessly...

"Uncle Long, this is the tenth day already. I hope nothing bad has happened to Chen Ping."

Su Yuqi has been guarding the villa ever since she knew Chen Ping had gone into seclusion. This is the tenth day already, and she's very worried.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Chen Ping is just at a critical moment in his breakthrough right now, and he can't be disturbed by anyone..."

Long Wu said.

"Well, with us watching over him, no one can disturb Chen Ping. Forget about small Hongcheng; even the entire Jiangbei region wouldn't have many people who could defeat us, let alone with Xiaobai on our side..."

Gulinger said confidently, and with a wave of her hand, summoned the snow wolf to her side, stroking its head.

Now the snow wolf's strength is comparable to that of a fifth-rank martial arts master. I'm afraid no one in the entire Jiangbei region could defeat a single wolf!

Long Wu remained silent, his brow furrowed as he said: “I’m not worried about Jiangbei. Now that Chen Ping has become the focal point of the martial arts world, there are many who want to trouble him. Now that Chen Ping has been chosen for the trial, it might be an opportunity for others, but for Chen Ping, it is fraught with danger.”

"Uncle Long, the trial is only three days away. I wonder if Chen Ping will be able to break through"

Wu Zetian asked.

“Then we can only wait and see what happens!” Long Wu didn’t dare to be certain if Chen Ping could break through his realm and wake up within three days.

"Awoooooo…"

Suddenly, the snow wolf let out a loud howl and then swiftly dashed out of the villa.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but their expressions quickly changed.

Because they felt several powerful and terrifying auras that enveloped the entire villa.

In a small town like Hongcheng, the sudden appearance of such a terrifying aura was obviously unreasonable. Several people quickly followed Xue Lang and rushed out of the villa.

Outside the villa, five figures in black robes and masks stood silently.

These five people were precisely the five Dharma protectors sent by Long Jingguo to capture Chen Ping.

"Second brother, did you feel that aura inside the villa"

At this time, the Great Protector standing in the middle asked.

"Big brother, I can feel it, this aura is very strong, but very unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak."

The Second Protector replied.

"So, do you know when such an aura will appear" the Great Protector continued to ask.

The other Dharma protectors were slightly taken aback, but soon the second Dharma protector spoke: "Big brother, only when breaking through a major realm will there be such an aura. Someone should be breaking through in this villa now, and it's already at a critical moment."

Five protectors looked at each other, and then blurted out in unison, “Could it be that Chen Ping”

But just then, Long Wu and the others had already rushed out, the Snow Wolf snarling menacingly at the five guardians.Soul fragments are............"At this point, the earthenware jar spoke up. He explained almost exactly as Gao Qilan had said, it seemed that Gao Qilan hadn't deceived Chen Ping!"I didn't expect such...
