Liu Wei's cultivation speed was frighteningly fast, faster than even Zhao Letian. It took Zhao Letian a full three months to break through from the Primordial Martial Seventh Realm to the True Martial Realm, while Liu Wei only took a short two months. This was highly abnormal.
To speak of understanding the Martial Arts Realm, Liu Wei absolutely couldn't compare to Zhao Letian. To speak of diligence, Liu Wei, who had never been particularly keen on cultivating, did indeed show much more dedication during this time, but she couldn't possibly be more diligent than Zhao Letian. There must be another reason for her cultivation to improve so quickly.
"This is probably the power of enlightenment. Perhaps the 'Pure Woman Heart Clearing Technique' is really suitable for Liu Wei's cultivation. With her inherently kind and pure heart, it fits perfectly with the requirements of the cultivation technique. It's likely easy for her to enter the Enlightenment State when cultivating. In the Enlightenment State, the efficiency of improving one's Martial Arts Realm is much higher than usual. Once her realm advances, her cultivation will naturally rise rapidly." Zhao Letian thought to himself.
Regardless, Zhao Letian was very happy that Liu Wei's cultivation had improved, as this means she would have some capability to protect herself.
"Master, why did you stop practicing swordsmanship so early today?" Si Hu suddenly arrived in the bamboo forest and asked with surprise, as there had been no pause in the Dragon Roar during the past month.
"My Swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck, making it difficult to improve further. I estimate that I won't practice swordsmanship again for a long time. I will inform you in advance the next time I practice." Zhao Letian glanced at the five of them and said with a faint smile.
"Understood, Master." Si Hu nodded. With the help of the Dragon Roar, their cultivation has stabilized over the past month. They were very satisfied and did not feel disappointed.
"Letian brother, I've advanced to the True Martial Realm!"
Liu Wei, riding on a flying sword, flew over excitedly.
Zhao Letian and the others looked up and saw that Liu Wei was wearing an elegant pink Spiritual Artifact Long Skirt today. Her aura had changed a lot compared to before, and she seemed to exude a holy and noble aura. At first glance, one couldn't help but feel ashamed and dared not have any impure thoughts.
Also, Liu Wei's appearance and figure had undergone some subtle changes. Her slightly plump body, once with baby fat, had slimmed down and become more slender and well-proportioned. Between her delicate eyebrows was a touch of ethereal beauty that seemed otherworldly. Her beauty was no less compared to Liu Fei, known as the number one beauty of the Outer Sect.

"Is this the effect of cultivating the 'Pure Woman Heart Clearing Technique'? How marvelous." Zhao Letian watched, somewhat enraptured.
"Master, am I mistaken, or does Weiwei seem like a fairy? I feel extremely ugly compared to her and don't even dare to look at her directly. What's more, I feel like I'm no match for her now, which is impossible, right?" Big Tiger said, shocked.
"That's right, we all feel that way." Second Tiger and the others nodded in agreement, also finding it unbelievable. After advancing to the True Martial Realm, they were confident they could dominate other Martial Artists of the same level and even challenge stronger opponents from a higher realm. How could they feel inferior to Liu Wei, who had just broken through to the True Martial Realm?
"Whether it's an illusion or not, we'll know after a test. Weiwei, come and spar with Big Tiger." Zhao Letian stood with his hands clasped behind his back and casually smiled.
Si Hu was special in physique and cultivated unique Cultivation Techniques. However, Liu Wei was in no way inferior to them. Liu Wei's state of mind was more innocent and kind-hearted than that of an average Martial Artist, which could also be considered a special talent. The 'Pure Woman Heart Clearing Technique' and 'Silver Moon Sword Technique' she practiced were exquisite Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques collected by the ancestors of the Dragon Clan, definitely no worse than the Cultivation Techniques practiced by Si Hu and potentially even stronger, so it was normal for her strength to surpass that of Si Hu.
"Okay, Letian brother." Even though her aura had become holy and noble, as if she were detached from the mortal world, Liu Wei still nodded obediently in response to Zhao Letian and then descended from the sky.
"Weiwei, I'm afraid of hurting you, so let's not use weapons. I'll only defend and not attack. If you can push me back with one move, you win," said Big Tiger with a simple and honest smile, extremely confident in himself.
"Big Brother Tiger, then you have to be careful. I haven't mastered my swordsmanship yet, and I might not control the force well. It would be bad if I accidentally hurt you," replied Liu Wei with a demure smile, also brimming with confidence.
"Hurt me? Hehe, Sister Weiwei, just go ahead with your move. My skin is thick and my flesh tough, it's not that easy to injure me," Big Tiger clearly didn't believe Liu Wei could hurt him.
"Alright, here I go. Silver Moon Sword Technique, the Glorious Moon in the Sky!"
Liu Wei nodded and then brought her fingers together like a sword. A True Essence Sword Light over a foot long emerged from her fingertips, emitting a blinding silver-white radiance that was hard to look directly at.
"What a strong aura! Sky Tiger Battle Seal!" Big Tiger was suddenly shocked, his expression became grave as he punched out the Tiger Head Battle Seal. He initially only intended to humor Liu Wei, but now it seemed that if he didn't take things seriously, he might actually get hurt by Liu Wei's sword.
The powerful True Essence Sword Light, like a bright and clean full moon, crashed down with a thunderous sound, colliding fiercely with Big Tiger's Sky Tiger Battle Seal, unleashing a strong True Essence shockwave.
As a result, under the impact of the True Essence power, Liu Wei took a half step back with her right foot, whereas Big Tiger was forced back more than a dozen feet before he managed to stabilize himself with difficulty.
"Big Brother Tiger, thank you for letting me win," Liu Wei said, grinning happily after pushing back Big Tiger with a single sword strike, and bowed with a fist.
In the past, she could never have imagined that one day she would be able to overpower a peer, and a standout one among fellow Martial Artists at that. All this had been made possible by Zhao Letian's contributions. Had it not been for the powerful Cultivation Technique and Martial Technique given to her by Zhao Letian, she couldn't have possibly attained such formidable strength.
Big Tiger and the others looked at Liu Wei with disbelief, all of them visibly frustrated. They had already come to terms with being overwhelmed by Zhao Letian, but now even Liu Wei, who had just advanced to the True Martial Realm, had become stronger than them. This was simply preposterous.
"Big brother, could our dad have been pulling our leg before? He said that once we reached the True Martial Realm, we could easily overpower our peers. But look at us now, the ones getting trampled... are us?" Four Eyes, who was usually quiet, said with a bitter expression.
"This..." Big Tiger frowned, scratching his head, not sure what to say. Being thrashed by Zhao Letian was one thing; he could explain it by admitting that Zhao Letian was far stronger than anyone else in the same realm. However, Liu Wei was previously just an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple, and now she was able to overpower him as well, which was just too hard to swallow.
"Big Tiger, you don't need to sell yourselves short. Weiwei's strength is not something typical peers can rival. You're not wronged by losing to her," Zhao Letian said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"Alright, Master, I believe you, and I also trust our old man wouldn't deceive us. Sister Weiwei's strength is indeed extraordinary." Big Tiger nodded, exchanged glances with his brothers, and seemed to be consoling themselves.
"Alright, let's not talk any more about this. Now that all of you have broken through to the True Martial Realm, it's time for us to go to the inner area and collect the Inner Sect Disciple Identity Tokens. We're going to leave this island forever and live on the Inner Island from now on. Go pack up and get ready to leave," Zhao Letian suddenly said with a solemn expression.
