With a warm and gentle smile on his face, Gui Jianyuan signaled to Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others that there was no need for thanks before returning to his meditation on the cushion.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and the other two turned their gaze to the ranking pillar, needing to reconfirm their positions.
Xia Zhiqing was the first to arrive at the testing area. The elemental energy surged within her, and she placed her right hand under the ranking pillar, quickly infusing her energy into it.
Soon, a faint light bloomed, and Xia Zhiqing withdrew her hand. However, despite retesting, her ranking remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Xia Zhiqing sighed in frustration, "I really am last!"
Although she had known beforehand that she was at the bottom, Gui Jianyuan's introduction had given her a glimmer of hope. Yet, the final result remained the same, without any change.
Observing Xia Zhiqing's disappointed expression, Bai Junyu patted her shoulder and said, "Your ranking will improve soon, don't worry."
Hearing his words, Xia Zhiqing nodded slightly, but there was still a hint of helplessness in her expression.
"Since Zhiqing's ranking hasn't changed, mine probably won't have much difference either. I'll test it after I break through," Bai Junyu said slowly.
During these relaxed three months, their main focus was on resting and visiting friends and family, without significant progress in their cultivation. Therefore, there was no need for testing.
Xia Zhiqing then looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang beside her and said, "Leader, why don't you give it a try?"
She felt that their leader's strength had improved compared to when they had initially separated, but it was just her feeling, and she couldn't judge accurately.
In terms of cultivation, their leader had always been extremely diligent. Xia Zhiqing had been with her for so long and had never seen her slack off in cultivation. She believed that their leader had not neglected cultivation during her time in Tian Gang Sect.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly, her exquisitely beautiful face shining with a shallow and radiant smile. With her current strength, she was still considered at a lower level among the disciples of Zhuque Hall. However, she believed that it wouldn't be long before her ranking would rise all the way up.
In an instant, Bai Li Hongzhuang's right hand also covered the bottom of the ranking pillar, and elemental energy surged out of her body, quickly flowing into it.
As this energy emerged, a faint but shimmering green light quietly appeared.
Seeing this green light, both Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu's eyes revealed a touch of astonishment. Why did the light emitted by Bai Li Hongzhuang during the test have a different color than Xia Zhiqing's?
Soon after, they noticed that Bai Li Hongzhuang's ranking was continuously advancing, finally stopping at the 300th place!
Bai Li Hongzhuang, 300th place, Green Realm, First Stage!
Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu's gazes were fixed on the words "Green Realm," and their eyes couldn't help but show deep admiration.
"Green Realm?" Xia Zhiqing widened her eyes, her pretty face filled with disbelief. "Leader, you actually broke through to the Green Realm?"
Bai Junyu also stared at Bai Li Hongzhuang in a daze. This progress was simply too astonishing!
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "I just broke through a few days ago."
"Leader, your breakthrough speed is really insane. We're so discouraged!" Xia Zhiqing's face showed defeat. It was true that comparisons were odious.
