Chapter 485: Chapter 399: An Unreachable Existence

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

The call went unanswered.

Zhou Qi hung up the phone. "No one’s picking up!" he said, shaking his head.

"You don’t think something happened to him, do you?" Sun Tao’s expression grew serious.

"Probably not. Besides, with Lin Yi’s realm, who could possibly hurt him?"

"The only person who can truly hurt him is probably himself!"

"And that pressure we just felt... it definitely came from a Martial Arts expert. If I’m not mistaken, it has to be related to Lin Yi. Maybe he’s breaking through to another realm!"

When Zhou Qi finished speaking,

both Shen Mengyi and Sun Tao’s eyes went wide.

"What? Senior Brother Lin broke through again?"

"Holy shit, no way! If he breaks through again, what realm will he be at?"

Zhou Qi shook his head. "I’m not sure. If I had to guess, he’d be at the Divine Abyss Realm by now, at least!"

Sun Tao: "..."

"Looks like the gap between us and Lin Yi is already insurmountable!"

"I’ve given up on ever reaching the Star Tempering Realm in this lifetime. If I can just make it to 7-star, I’ll die without regrets!"

Zhou Qi shot him a look. "You just hit 3-star. Wei Nan is already about to hit 4-star!"

"If you don’t wise up soon, with your current talent, you’d be lucky to hit 5-star in this lifetime!"

Sun Tao glanced back at him, his expression full of defiance.

"If anyone else said they were aiming for 7-star, it might be wishful thinking.

But don’t forget, I have an ace up my sleeve. With Lin Yi around, I’ll definitely make it to 7-star!"

Zhou Qi chuckled. "Alright, then I wish you the best of luck."

"Get to 7-star soon. Even if you can’t enter the Star Tempering Realm, you’ll at least be considered a master of Martial Arts!"

"In the future, you’d be a rare talent in any field!"

"By the way, isn’t Captain Chu still a 6-star? And he’s just a squad captain!"

Sun Tao: "..."

Just as Zhou Qi and Sun Tao were talking,

a call suddenly came in.

Sun Tao picked up his phone and glanced at the screen. "It’s Wei Nan!"

"That pressure just now filled the entire city. Wei Nan must have felt it too,"

Zhou Qi quickly analyzed.

Sun Tao nodded and, without hesitating, answered the call.

"What’s going on? Why’d it take you so long to answer? Did something happen?" Wei Nan’s rushed voice came from the phone.

Sun Tao was taken aback. "What could have happened?"

"You didn’t feel that pressure from before?" Wei Nan quickly asked.

"I felt it, but it’s gone now, isn’t it?" Sun Tao replied.

Wei Nan nodded. "It’s gone now, but that pressure was the real deal!"

"It wasn’t just me. Even Wei Shang and Feng Lei felt it too!"

"That’s why I called, to ask if anything was going on over there."

"Nothing’s wrong. Everything at school is normal. By the way, when are you planning on coming back?" Sun Tao replied with a smile.

Hearing that everything at school was fine, Wei Nan relaxed a little.

"Me? It’ll be a bit. I plan on staying home for a few days to spend time with my parents."

"By the way, have you guys seen Lin Yi?"

"Not yet. He’s been cooped up in the dorm room. Who knows what he’s up to!"

Sun Tao replied.

As soon as the words were out, Wei Nan’s expression immediately changed.

"He’s still in the dorm? Then I get it. I’d bet anything that pressure was related to him!"

"Back in the Old District, he mentioned he might be breaking through soon, but not right away—that it would take a while longer. When he went back to the dorm today, I thought he was acting a little strange!"

"He must have had another fortuitous encounter to trigger the breakthrough. That kid’s talent is really something to be jealous of!"

After Wei Nan finished speaking, Sun Tao had a sudden realization.

"Tell me the truth, what realm has Lin Yi reached by now?"

"If he breaks through again, will he reach the Divine Abyss Realm?"

Sun Tao asked in a low voice.

In response, Wei Nan shook his head with a wry smile. "How would I know what realm he’s at?"

"But, I’d estimate it’s the Divine Abyss Realm at the very least, right?"

"All in all, ever since he entered the Star Tempering Realm, his exact realm has become irrelevant to us."

"Either way, I’ll definitely never catch up in this lifetime!"

"His talent hasn’t even hit its limit yet. Who can say what realm he’ll ultimately reach?"

"Alright, I’ve gotta go help my mom with the vegetables. Call me if anything comes up. I’m hanging up now!"

After Wei Nan finished, he hung up the phone.

Sun Tao gave a dry laugh.

"What did he say?" Zhou Qi came over and asked.

Sun Tao smiled. "He told me that, for us, Lin Yi’s realm is pretty much irrelevant at this point."

"We’re never going to catch up to him in this lifetime anyway."

"We should just focus on ourselves."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi also smiled and nodded.

"I think Wei Nan is right. We shouldn’t be using Lin Yi as our benchmark anymore."

"He’s a monster. His talent for cultivation is just too damn good."

"We can’t compare to him."

"So, we should just focus on cultivating steadily and do our best to raise our own realms."

"Where our limits are... that’s not so important anymore."

Sun Tao and Shen Mengyi nodded.

In fact, it was the same for Zhou Qi. Lin Yi was now an unreachable existence.

Before, he was a goal they could chase.

At least they could still see his back.

But now, they couldn’t even find his shadow.

If they continued to use him as their goal, it would only drive them mad.
