BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 136: Fifteen Years of Progress!

At this moment, Liu Ling's body was experiencing waves of stinging pain, but he gritted his teeth, thinking of his teacher's words. He was determined not to disappoint his teacher.

After another dozens of breaths, there was another change in Liu Ling's aura.

Nine-Star Dou Master!

In just a short period of over a hundred breaths, Liu Ling had consecutively broken through three realms, from a Six-Star Dou Master to a Nine-Star Dou Master!

At this point, Liu Ling was almost reaching his limit. He decided to push himself to the brink, frantically activating the Purple Sun Formula to refine the energy within his body.

After another few dozens of breaths, Liu Ling felt that his meridians were on the verge of tearing apart, and his complexion changed dramatically.

"Teacher, I can't endure it any longer; it's going to explode!" Liu Ling cried out in pain.

Hearing Liu Ling's words filled with agony, Gu He's expression changed, and he didn't dare to delay. He quickly stopped the transfer of enlightenment.

The next moment, a notification sound echoed in his mind.

"Ding, detected that the host has granted half a day of cultivation to the senior disciple Liu Ling. Congratulations to the host for triggering the ten-thousand-fold return mechanism, gaining fifteen years of cultivation! (Equivalent to the Three-Star Dou Zong realm)."

"Fifteen years of cultivation have been deposited in the system space. Please check it, host!"

Hearing the system's announcement, Gu He felt a slight disappointment in his heart.

It was only half a day's worth of cultivation.

Well, at least this time he triggered the ten-thousand-fold return mechanism.

Otherwise, the result might have been hard to accept.

Fifteen years of cultivation, he could still accept it, albeit barely.

Although it was only fifteen years of cultivation, Gu He couldn't help but feel excited. With this newfound cultivation, he believed he could make a breakthrough to the Four-Star Dou Zong or even the Five-Star Dou Zong realm in one go.

Afterward, he looked at Liu Ling, who was still immersed in refining the energy within his body, and nodded slightly.

This kid might not be very enduring, but he did his best.

At least he could endure one more round, as otherwise, he might not even withstand half a day's cultivation.

In fact, Gu He had already anticipated this result.

As his own cultivation increased, the endurance of these little ones would likely continue to decrease.

He could see that during his absence, Liu Ling hadn't been slacking off, and his physical strength had indeed greatly improved.

However, the problem was that Gu He's cultivation was increasing too rapidly, even more so than Liu Ling's.

After all, Gu He had multiple disciples who could receive his transfer of enlightenment.

As his cultivation grew, the amount of Dou Qi absorbed in one day increased, which was much more than a Dou Master like Liu Ling could easily endure.

Even though Liu Ling had strengthened his body through the consistent use of spirit fluid, the duration he could withstand was limited. If he were at a different level of the Dou Master realm, he might not even endure a few hours of cultivation.

If not for Liu Ling's daily tempering with spirit fluid during this period, Gu He estimated that he might not even endure half a day's worth of cultivation, and his meridians would have ruptured.

"It seems that in the future, I will need to find a way to further enhance their physical tempering," Gu He decided internally.

Afterward, Gu He's consciousness entered the system space, checked the fifteen years of cultivation orb, and then exited the system space.

The breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm would cause a significant commotion. Gu He would have to follow his usual practice and make the breakthrough in a place far away from the Cloudland Sect.

Watching Liu Ling, who had not yet awakened, Gu He was not in a hurry. He went to the pavilion, sat down, and quietly waited for Liu Ling to regain consciousness.

...

Boom!

Just as Gu He had been waiting in the pavilion for half an hour, there was another muffled sound coming from within Liu Ling's body.

His aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation directly broke through to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Master!

At this moment, Liu Ling had finally absorbed all the abundant energy in his body.

His cultivation had stabilized completely.

After a moment, Liu Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Gu He sitting in the pavilion, Liu Ling was momentarily stunned. Then, he immediately checked his own cultivation.

"Peak Nine-Star Dou Master!"

The next moment, an expression of extreme excitement appeared on Liu Ling's face.

Feeling the immense power within his body, Liu Ling was ecstatic and couldn't help but want to dance with joy.

In the blink of an eye, he had broken through from a Six-Star Dou Master to the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Master! He was only one step away from becoming a Great Dou Master!

Great Dou Master!

That was the level of some of the elders within the Cloudland Sect. Liu Ling had achieved such an accomplishment at such a young age.

It was truly incredible.

He sighed in amazement, grateful that he had managed to hold on for a little longer during the last round. Otherwise, he might not have been able to reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Master.

Next, he felt relieved.

Luckily, during his teacher's absence in the last month, he hadn't been slacking off.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure the first round of the transfer of enlightenment just now.

His teacher was truly formidable.

Comparing the present to the past, Liu Ling could clearly perceive that his teacher's Dou Qi had become much thicker and more powerful.

It could be described as a world-shaking transformation.

At this moment, Liu Ling's gaze turned curious as he looked at Gu He.

He had never seen his teacher take action and didn't know his teacher's current realm.

According to external rumors, his teacher was only at the Dou Wang level, but Liu Ling couldn't believe it. How could such thick, terrifying Dou Qi be attributed to just a Dou Wang?

Liu Ling had interacted with some of the Dou Wang elders within the Cloudland Sect on ordinary days. He could clearly sense that their aura was far inferior to that of his teacher.

Could it be that his teacher had already broken through to the Dou Huang realm?

As Liu Ling gazed at Gu He in the pavilion, this thought couldn't help but cross his mind.

Sensing Liu Ling's gaze, Gu He turned to look at him and gave a faint glance, saying, "Awake?"

Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling immediately stood up and approached him with a grin on his face, "Awake, teacher!"

Gu He asked, "How do you feel?"

An excited expression appeared on Liu Ling's face as he replied, "Great! Teacher, you're getting more and more powerful."

Gu He naturally understood the excitement in Liu Ling's heart. After all, he often experienced the thrill of a sudden increase in power himself.

"In the future, you must continue to temper your physical body. Don't slack off," Gu He advised with a faint tone.

"Understood," Liu Ling nodded without hesitation and spoke firmly, "Teacher, I will work even harder."

...

"Alright, come here, I'm going to grant you your second reward," Gu He suddenly said after they had talked for a while.

"Okay, teacher!" Hearing this, Liu Ling's heart quivered, and he immediately sat down in front of Gu He.

"You don't need to sit down this time," Gu He said as he took a jade bottle out of his spatial ring.

The jade bottle contained the associated Purple Crystal Essence.
