After breaking through to the Stone Skin Realm, Gong Yulei's hearing had improved significantly.
Though the conversation inside the room wasn't loud, he heard every word clearly.
He wasn't angry, just disappointed.
He'd thought that by becoming stronger, he could finally fit in with them.
But in the end, he was just an outsider.
...
「Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.」
On this day, Jiang Che arrived at the Martial Arts Hall's Disciple Courtyard to practice his fist techniques, only to hear the faint sound of scolding coming from inside a room.
He looked around and saw that Gong Yulei was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Xiong came over and whispered:
"Master and Gong Yulei are in the room."
"Oh? What's going on?" Jiang Che was a little surprised.
'Gong Yulei's cultivation speed was the fastest in the courtyard, and he had already broken through to the Stone Skin Realm.'
