Cultivation Online novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 - Accidentally Spilling The Beans

After flying for a couple of hours, the flying treasures came to a sudden halt, and Elder Shan said, "We’re at the place. However, since we cannot enter the city with flying treasures, we’ll have to descend here."

A few moments later, Elder Shan and Elder Xuan descended their flying treasures before storing them away.

Once they were standing on the ground again, Yuan retrieved a black jade mask and wore it on his face, covering his handsome features besides his bright eyes that illuminated with energy and excitement.

"W-Wait a second... That jade mask..."

When Min Li saw this familiar-looking jade mask, she immediately recalled the mysterious figure during the disciple examination.

"Y-You! It was you all along?!" Min Li cried out loud while pointing at Yuan with trembling fingers when she realized the truth.

"Huh?"

Everybody there including Yuan turned to look at Min Li with raised eyebrows and puzzled expressions.

"What are you talking about?" Xuan Wuhan asked her.

"Y-You! Disciple Yuan! You were the masked figure from the disciple examination?! I saw you during the third exam, even taking notice of you because of your powerful aura! I had wondered where you went because I didn’t see you after the examination! So you were right beside me this entire time!" Min Li exclaimed.

"Eh? Yes... I was there when you took fifty steps," Yuan nodded, not even bothering to hide anything. "Is there something wrong?"

"Of course! You emitted the power of someone at the Spirit Warrior realm at that time! How come you’re only a Spirit Apprentice now?! In fact, now that I look at your cultivation, it went up by two whole levels since I last checked! How is that even possible?!" Min Li said.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Yuan has always been a Spirit Warrior. He was at fifth level Spirit Warrior even before he’d become a disciple at the Dragon Essence Temple," Xuan Wuhan casually said.

"What?!" Fei Yuyan and Min Li turned to look at Xuan Wuhan with their eyes wide with shock.

How could an Outer Court disciple be at the fifth level Spirit Warrior realm?!

Elder Xuan and Elder Shan looked at each other with a bittersweet smile on their faces, and Elder Xuan said a moment later, "Actually... Disciple Yuan is currently under the effects of a pill known as ’Pill of Concealment’ that suppresses his cultivation level by an entire realm, and his real cultivation base is actually peak Spirit Warrior, but keep this a secret, okay? I am only revealing this fact because it’s impossible to keep it hidden at this point."

"Peak Spirit Warrior?!?!"

The three fairies turned to look at Yuan with gawking looks on their beautiful faces.

How old was Yuan again? 18 years old? How can someone that young have such an impressive cultivation base? That’s something you normally only see in the upper heavens!

Thud.

Min Li suddenly fell to her knees with disbelief on her face.

’I... I have been comparing myself to a Spirit Warrior this entire time? It’s no wonder why he was able to destroy the Training Puppet so casually! I’ve been fooled!’ Min Li cried inwardly, feeling as though she’d lived a life of lies this entire time.
