Chapter 53 Breaking Through to the Peak of Level 92? Gui Mei: You Damn Chrysanthemum, Why Are You One Level Higher Than Me?
"Thump!"
Yue Guan suddenly turned around, knelt on one knee facing Lan Yue not far away, his expression extremely solemn, his eyes filled with gratitude and awe:
"Your Highness's great kindness will never be forgotten by Yue Guan!"
"If it weren't for Your Highness's guidance and the bestowal of the Immortal Herb, I'm afraid I would never have been able to reach such a realm in my entire life!"
"If Your Highness ever needs my services in the future, I, Yue Guan, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
This kneel was a kneel for the grace of being given a second chance, a kneel for the kindness of being recognized and appreciated!
Seeing this, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes also lit up with surprise, her heart filled with joy.
The stronger Yue Guan became, the higher her status within Spirit Hall naturally rose as her capable subordinate.
Moreover, Yue Guan's attitude toward Lan Yue was so respectful, even devoted, which undoubtedly reassured her.
"Elder Ju, please rise!"
Bibi Dong quickly stepped forward to help him up, her face beaming with a bright smile:
"It is truly a blessing for our Spirit Hall that the Elder has made such a breakthrough, and it is also a good thing for me and Xiaoyue."
"We will have to rely on the Elders a lot in the future."
Lan Yue smiled and stepped forward to help Yue Guan up, jokingly saying:
"Elder Ju, you're being too polite."
"We're all family, so there's no need for thanks."
"As long as the Elder doesn't think I'm too young to handle things, and takes me out to see the world more often, that's fine."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan couldn't help but burst into laughter, his excitement and joy overflowing.
"Your Highness is joking!"
"From now on, anyone who dares to lay a finger on Your Highness will first have to ask if this chrysanthemum will allow it!"
Just then, a commotion was heard from the side of Gui Mei, who had been silent all along.
The black mist, which was originally as black as ink, suddenly began to churn violently.
"Boom—!!!"
A deep, muffled thud exploded from the center of the black mist.
Immediately afterward, an extremely cold yet exceptionally pure wave of soul power swept out.
The surrounding temperature plummeted instantly, and tiny ice crystals condensed in the air.
The black mist gradually dissipated, revealing Gui Mei's previously illusory figure.
Although he was still shrouded in a black robe, he gave off a completely different feeling.
The ghostly aura that had originally been elusive and seemed to dissipate at any moment had now become incredibly solid, with dark power flowing around him as if it were tangible substance.
Even more surprisingly, the eerie feeling that had originally made people uncomfortable around him had faded considerably.
"Haa..."
Gui Mei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Level 92... peak!"
Gui Mei trembled with excitement.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
The bottleneck that had plagued him for years was broken through so easily?
Moreover, it wasn't just a breakthrough—it was a direct leap across a minor realm, reaching the peak of level 92!
It should be understood that once you reached the Titled Douluo level, every advancement was incredibly difficult.
It often required years, or even decades, of arduous practice.
He had simply absorbed a single Immortal Herb, yet it had saved him decades of hard work!
More importantly, he could clearly sense that his Spirit—Ghostly Phantom—seemed to have undergone a fundamental transformation.
The physical weakness that had originally been caused by the special nature of his Spirit had completely disappeared!
Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of fulfillment, as if his entire body had been reshaped.
"The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid... truly lives up to its name!"
Gui Mei muttered to himself, his heart filled with wild joy.
This Immortal Herb had not only helped him break through his bottleneck, but had also made up for the innate deficiencies in his Spirit.
This made his foundation incredibly solid!
This meant that his future cultivation path would no longer be limited by the defects of his Spirit, and he might even be able to reach a higher realm!
"Congratulations, Elder Ghost!"
"Congratulations, Elder Ghost!"
Just then, Bibi Dong and Lan Yue walked over with smiles and congratulated Gui Mei.
"Elder Ghost has mastered his divine skills! Congratulations!"
Lan Yue said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.
Looking at the two young people in front of him, Gui Mei felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Although he was aloof and not good with words, he knew better than anyone who was kind to him.
If it weren't for Lan Yue gifting him the Immortal Herb and guiding him through this ordeal...
He probably would never have broken through level 92 in his lifetime, let alone made up for the defects in his Spirit.
This kindness was as heavy as Mount Tai!
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Gui Mei took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the two of them, and spoke with utmost solemnity:
"I have no way to repay you, but if you ever need my help in the future, I will gladly die for you!"
"Elder Ghost, you flatter me. Please rise."
Bibi Dong quickly stepped forward to help Gui Mei up, her face beaming with a bright smile.
Now that both Elders had broken through to the next level and their strength had greatly increased, this was undoubtedly a great joy for her.
Just then, Yue Guan also came over, his face bearing his signature alluring smile, and he was toying with a chrysanthemum petal in his hand:
"Oh my, old ghost, congratulations!"
"I never thought you, the taciturn one, would have this day. Tsk tsk tsk, peak level 92."
"Excellent, excellent. It seems this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is indeed a fine specimen."
Looking at Yue Guan's smiling face, Gui Mei was happy, but for some reason, he felt that the guy's smile was a bit annoying.
He glanced at Yue Guan and asked casually:
"And what about you?"
"Dead chrysanthemum, how much have you improved?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's smile widened even further, and he even puffed out his chest deliberately, saying with a smug look:
"Oh, it's not much, just a tiny bit better than you..."
As he spoke, he held up two fingers, making a "just a little bit" gesture, and then slowly uttered a few words:
"Level 93... peak."
"What?!"
Gui Mei's pupils contracted sharply, and his previously calm expression froze instantly.
Peak level 93?!
A whole level higher than him?!
It should be understood that at the Titled Douluo level, even a difference of one level was like heaven and earth!
Originally, his strength and Yue Guan's strength had been evenly matched, and he had even held a slight advantage over Yue Guan due to the counteracting effect of their attributes.
But now, this guy had actually surpassed him by one level?!
How could he possibly tolerate this?!
Looking at Yue Guan's smug face, Gui Mei felt a burning urge to bite him.
The joy in his heart was instantly diluted, replaced by a strong sour feeling.
"Hmph!"
Gui Mei snorted coldly, turned his head away, no longer looking at Yue Guan's irritating face, and said in a sour tone:
"Congratulations, Elder Ju."
"It seems that this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is indeed a little bit better than my Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
"But don't be too smug. The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and it's not certain who will have the last laugh!"
