School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Liu Tianle's eyes carried a threat, but Xu Fan didn't pay any attention to it.

No matter how fierce or venomous the gaze of an ant, it would never be noticed by an elephant.

However, the opportunity Liu Tianle spoke of with such certainty did intrigue Xu Fan. What kind of opportunity could make Liu Tianle confident to this degree?

Moreover, the statement that as soon as Xu Fan breakthroughs to the Vajra Realm, he would be removed from the Earth List, left Xu Fan a bit puzzled.

At this moment, Zhou Shi'nian watched Liu Tianle and his group walk away, then turned to Xu Fan with a bitter smile and said, "Brother Xu, I heard that you reached third on the Earth List, so I hurried over, but it seems I still arrived late."

Xu Fan had a good impression of Zhou Shi'nian. Back in the Huang Family's grand hall, when everyone fell silent, only Zhou Shi'nian stood up and, undaunted by the massive pressure, spoke up for Xu Fan.

Therefore, even though Xu Fan knew why Zhou Shi'nian had come, he still smiled and said, "Oh? Brother Shi'nian already knew I would get into trouble?"

Zhou Shi'nian laughed heartily, "Brother Xu climbed to the list in one fell swoop, and directly to third place! How many people are envious? And how many want to make a name for themselves by defeating Brother Xu?"

Xu Fan nodded with a bitter smile. Ever since Xu Fan knew he was on the Earth List, he realized that nothing good would come of it.

Moreover, Xu Fan had always been low-key, but now he was directly exposed to the entire world of cultivators. The Earth List would not specifically ask Xu Fan if he wanted to be on the list, or whether it should be registered under his real name or a nickname.

At this moment, Zhou Shi'nian sighed and spoke to Xu Fan.

"Brother Xu, at the Huang Family grand hall, you saw it too. Cultivators from around the world gathered and officially started exchanging ideas. Those great families and forces hidden in the dark, even those isolated from the world, will emerge in the short term. And just at this time, Brother Xu, you ascended to third on the Earth List as an unknown junior."

"Countless young talents from great forces will want to use Brother Xu as a stepping stone to make their name known across the Four Seas. When the time comes, there will surely be a massive crowd around you. And the most troublesome part is, those young talents, you can't fight them all, and you can't fight any of them too hard. Look at the virtue of those families, just look at the Huang Family, then look at Liu Tianle, and you'll understand a lot. Once you hit any precious member of those Hidden World Families too hard, endless trouble will follow..."

Xu Fan smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Xu Fan was very clear that Zhou Shi'nian had a motive for saying these things, most likely to get him to join the Zhou Family's forces.

What Zhou Shi'nian analyzed was indeed not false, but the scene he described was exaggerated.

If there really were groups of so-called geniuses coming to challenge Xu Fan, Xu Fan could easily use overwhelming force as a deterrent, shaking everyone with thunderous means, nowhere near as passive as Zhou Shi'nian suggested.

Zhou Shi'nian seemed to see through Xu Fan's thoughts and smiled calmly at Xu Fan, "Brother Xu, it's been a while since you broke through to the Entering Dao Realm Peak, right? Did you find that Entering Vajra is not as simple as you imagined?"

Xu Fan's spirit was lifted, his interest piqued.

His master was indeed unreliable, and ever since starting cultivation, Xu Fan had to explore everything on his own.

In the recent days, Xu Fan did indeed feel that he could Enter Vajra at any moment, but he never dared to act carelessly.

This step was too crucial to his future cultivation journey and allowed for no negligence.

Zhou Shi'nian began to speak, "In the cultivation world, the Vajra Realm is a beginning, yet it's the foundation of a towering structure. If the foundation isn't strong enough, even if you reach the Zhiwei Realm, your shaky structure will collapse at the slightest touch. Worse, at a certain height, if the foundation can't withstand it, it collapses on its own, rendering decades of hard cultivation in vain!"

Hearing this, Xu Fan shivered involuntarily; his intuition was right. Recklessly breaking through to Vajra without full preparation was suicidal! Even if he didn't fall into Deviation, his future achievements were already sealed.

"The so-called Vajra Realm is about refining the body with nature's spiritual energy, making oneself a part of the heavens and earth. However, different people, different timings, and different locations of breakthrough naturally yield different results."

"Generally speaking, the longer you can persist during the breakthrough, the more thoroughly your body is refined by spiritual energy, and the better the result. Accordingly, the Vajra Realm is classified into three Grade Levels: Mortal Grade, Spirit Grade, and Top Grade."

"Most in the Vajra Realm are Mortal Grade, not having truly refined their bodies thoroughly; their realm has elevated and their body strength increased merely. The shortcomings are evident—the inability to break through to the Zhiwei Realm!"

At this point, Zhou Shi'nian smirked disdainfully, "For example, those guest elders from the Huang Family we saw in their grand hall, their Vajra Realm is Mortal Grade, commonly known as false Vajra Realm!"

Before heading to the Huang Family, Xu Fan had used a cunning method, drawing Cold Essence spiritual energy into his body, refining it once, but it was merely a trick, and the realm didn't really rise, with limited effect.

Yet, even so, he still broke the defenses of several Vajra Realm experts from the Huang Family, clearly indicating those so-called experts weren't true Vajra Realm experts.

"Spirit Grade is much better and is the goal for most people. Reaching this level offers a possibility to break through to the Zhiwei Realm, and when fighting those of the same realm at Mortal Grade, has great advantage, an advantage that lasts a lifetime!"

Even when reaching the Zhiwei Realm, where battles become a clash of Domains, physical strength remains a crucial point. Higher quality naturally offers an advantage.

In the same realm, even a small advantage can decide the outcome of a battle.

No wonder Liu Tianle and his group were so sure they wouldn't dare breach the Vajra Realm—it's because of this reasoning.

"Reaching the Top Grade level is even rarer and requires external assistance to achieve this quality. Moreover, Vajra Realm experts of this quality are guaranteed to Enter Zhiwei Realm!"

Guaranteed to Enter Zhiwei Realm! This is true talent! Xu Fan's eyes lit with a slight fervor.

At this moment, Zhou Shi'nian slyly smiled and slowly spoke to Xu Fan, "Brother Xu, would you like to achieve the Top Grade Vajra Realm? Help my Zhou Family with a small task, and as a report, our Zhou Family can give you an opportunity to achieve the Top Grade Vajra Realm."
