Breakthrough!!

By the time Ning Qi came back, it had been already 3 pm. He didn't see any of them in the Arena area.

'They are probably cultivating on the second floor,' Ning Qi thought.

Just as he was about to enter the second floor, he saw two girls walking down... One big and one little. They both also got startled a bit, the little one hurriedly hid behind the big one, as she just got scolded by her father and sister, because of this terrific guy. She felt, it was all because of this guy and never want to see him.

"Big brother Ning! We bought food for all of you. If you still haven't had lunch... You can enjoy it now. If you already had, I also brought some sweets, and you can eat them leisurely ." Kang Jia walked delicately toward Ning Qi and clung to Ning Qi's sleeve happily. Kang Mei held onto the back clothes of her sister and aggressively looked at Ning Qi with helpless anger filled in his eyes.

"Oh! Thank you, Jia, how are you feeling right now?" Ning Qi sincerely asked and gently stroked Kang Jia's lovely hair, causing her to smile with evident satisfaction.

"I'm feeling better than before, big brother! I'm even going to school from Monday already!" Kang Jia announced triumphantly.

"That's good then! Alright, you both go on, I have something else to do." As Ning said, he tenderly stroked the hair of Kang Mei, earning a fierce glare from her, he got amused by this baby's antics and wanted to tease more. But ultimately shook his head and walked upstairs, after bidding them farewell.

Soon! he saw three of them in cultivation, and he simply walked to his chair and sat comfortably, not disturbing them.

They equally felt that their sect master arrived, but didn't bother with him and concentrated on their cultivation. Kang Xuan felt he should greet the sect master at least, but ultimately decided to follow his senior brother and senior sister.

At around 5, probably their decided time, one by one gradually opened their eyes. She Yue saw Ning Qi already dozing off, and couldn't help but recollect Nangong Xu's words, justly saying that Ning Qi never cultivate.

'Presumably, noble Sect master is really at a very high level, Once I tentatively reach his Level... I can doze off like that too.' She cheered herself, as she felt that cultivation is not as addicting as Nangong Xu and even Kang Xuan described. She felt, It was extremely boring, she is just gritting her teeth and following these two dumb guys, or else she will be bullied in the sparring sessions.

" I think we should better perform one more session till dinner, and Sect master is sleeping anyhow. What do you say, Senior brother?" Kang Xuan asked Nangong Xu politely, as he doesn't want to waste this god-delivered oppo... 'Ning Qi' given unique opportunity.

Shen Yue felt like a balloon that was out of the air, she couldn't bring herself to scold Kang Xuan. Even though he is the Junior brother, she, however, gives him certain genuine respect for his age. But she felt instantly relieved by hearing Nangong Xu's pleasant words.

"No! Take some rest Junior brother! Don't be hasty with the cultivation... It's an extremely lengthy process." nangong Xu said, as he remembered some similar dialogue from one of the novels he read diligently.

"If you don't want to diligently cultivate, don't make others as lazy as you. Being the eldest disciple, you need to be a role model in a good way, not the other way." Don't know when Ning Qi woke up, he scolded Nangong Xu for establishing a bad influence on his junior disciples.

"But.." nangong Xu sincerely wanted to explain himself but was cut short by Ning Qi as always.

"No Buts! Let me first talk about some significant information, that I told you guys in the morning. After that, you can mutually decide, whether to cultivate diligently or slack off as you earnestly wish." Ning Qi said, making all of them suddenly get into serious mode.

"First! Let me ask, whether the two of you successfully practiced the Divine cultivation technique to the First stage?" Ning Qi asked.

"Yes, sect master! This beloved disciple didn't disappoint you." Shen Yue said shamelessly, making Ning Qi roll his eyes. Kang Xuan also fiercely nodded his head from the side.

Ning Qi is amply satisfied with their progression and also felt relief, as they won't be in potential danger anymore.

"There will be a sect mission that you all need to participate in mandatorily. The mission is that you all need to fight fiercely in an underground arena, where only life and death determine ultimate victory. It's either you that's dead or the opponent that's dead. Therefore, this mission is to engage an enemy in this battle arena to death. But the enemy equally possesses the strength of a level 1 Qi refining layer or an early-stage junior mortal martial artist. The main thing is unlike you, they have an extraordinary experience in this kind of battle... one moment of your slacking or indecisiveness, undoubtedly means Death."

Ning Qi slowly explained grimly, as he felt they needed that explanation.

Shen Yue's lovely face paled after hearing this, she instantly felt a shiver run down her spine, once she imagined those bloodthirsty guys. She couldn't help but look eagerly at Ning Qi, wanting to see that the Sect master is joking with them, but noted a 'Serious' expression on his face instead, making her almost scared out of her wits.

"I will fight to the death for Sect! Just please take care of my family members after I die gloriously, Sect master."Kang Xuan said solemnly, as he voluntarily decided to repay Ning Qi with his life.

Nangong Xu, on the other hand, looked speechless at their reactions. He felt that level 1 is ridiculously low for them to fight on.

"Stop talking nonsense Kang Xuan! And you Shen Yue... How can you be so weak-hearted like this? I thought you were from a martial artist family and will have the courage to face the world. Look at your senior brother, he is feeling like a level 1 is inherently weak. You are also a level 1 and you even possess a divine technique, that will make you able to fight fiercely against the level 3 Qi refining layer pretty easily. And the match is on 30 august, you guys still have 6 days left to level up. "

Ning Qi scolded them a bit and also encouraged them at the same time. But he also felt the system is correct on this part, as they will definitely be going to naturally become greenhouse flowers if they just cultivate like this.

The sole oddball that even the system may not have predicted is this eldest disciple, who is actually pretty calm on a mission like this. Ning Qi felt glad that this disciple is a bit mischievous at times, but definitely has the aura to naturally lead others, befitting his title.

Shen Yue and Kang Xuan also got embarrassed, after thinking about it a bit. They really have nothing to worry about, and If worst comes to worst... just activate the First stage of technique and one-shot them.

Shen Yue slowly peeked a stealthy glance at this senior brother and saw his composed face, and blushed a bit.

"Alright! Now I think that you all are ready to put some effort into the cultivation right?" Ning Qi asked loudly.

"Absolutely! Sect master, we will cultivate diligently. We won't lose the face of our Sect." All of them responded even more loudly.

"Hm! Shen Yue and Kang Xuan must reach level 2! While nangong Xu must reach level 3 before we go to the matches. I don't know how much effort you will put in, but you must make it." Ning Qi said shamelessly without bothering with the pleading eyes of nangong Xu.

"As this is a mission, there will definitely be some rewards. For successful completion of the mission, I will directly raise your cultivation by one level and also increase any stat of your choice by 2 points."

Ning Qi finally announced the rewards, making everyone almost flaggerbasted. They also heard from Nangong Xu, that the Sect master can help with their strength directly.

They also wanted the sect master to modestly improve them like Nangong Xu, but they thought it may affect him somehow, or else why would he let them cultivate If he can directly increase their strength without any problems? But now the sect master even promised them such a generous reward, made them tenderly touched.

Everyone looked at Ning Qi a bit too warmly, including the shameless Nangong Xu, before they sat cultivating again.

On the other hand, Ning Qi felt awkward about their warm eyes. He doesn't perceive why they looked fondly at him like that all of a sudden, even though the rewards are good, they can reach that one level pretty easily know? Ning Qi thought in his mind.

"Ding! The system finds a Direct disciple Nangong Xu stepped into the Qi refining level 2! The host will get a 100% cultivation bonus from that disciple."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully stepping into the Qi refining level 7."

Around 8 pm, Ning Qi suddenly received two appropriate notifications from the system, instantly making him smile widely.
