Asura King: Kui Ting.
The top experts of the Asura army — familiar faces like Yun Liang and Xiang Ji — all appeared before Chu Feng.
But compared to before, they had undergone significant changes.
Their cultivation had all increased, and not by a small margin.
Xiang Ji, Yun Liang, and the other top experts had been sixth grade Half Gods before forming a contract with Chu Feng. After forming the contract, their cultivation had regressed to third grade Half Gods.
But now, their cultivation had reached eighth grade Half God.
As for the Asura King, he had been a seventh grade Half God before forming the contract with Chu Feng. After forming the contract, his cultivation had regressed to fourth grade Half God.
But now the Asura King's cultivation had reached ninth grade Half God — the true pinnacle of the Half God realm.
Just one step away from stepping into the True God realm.
This was a level of cultivation none of them had ever reached, and such a dramatic increase had occurred in just a brief instant.
Therefore, whether it was the Asura King or the other Spirits, their faces were filled with endless confusion and bewilderment.
"Seniors, it's been a while."
Upon hearing Chu Feng's voice, the Asura King and the others noticed him.
Unlike their own bewilderment, Chu Feng's face showed no surprise at all — only joy.
This made the Asura King realize that Chu Feng must know the reason behind this.
"Greetings, Lord Chu Feng." But the Asura King did not immediately ask. Instead, he led the ten-million-strong Asura army in a grand kowtow of respect toward Chu Feng.
"Rise, rise." Chu Feng hurriedly crossed through the gate, stepped inside, and personally helped the Asura King to his feet.
"Lord Chu Feng, our cultivation?" The Asura King looked at Chu Feng, his eyes burning with the desire for answers.
"It has to do with this gate." Chu Feng pointed toward the gate, then proceeded to explain everything that had happened to the Asura King and the others.
"Lord Chu Feng, so... our cultivation — it's real? This isn't a dream? We've truly gained such a massive increase?"
The Asura Spirits all asked, one after another.
"Of course. This is your genuine cultivation — it won't regress again." Chu Feng said.
The moment Chu Feng said these words, the Asura army erupted into wild celebration.
After all, it wasn't just the Asura King, Lord Yun Liang, Lord Xiang Ji, and the others whose cultivation had increased — it was an across-the-board enhancement.
For example, within the ten-million-strong Asura army before.
The majority had been at the Martial Venerable realm, with nearly a million at the peak of Martial Venerable.
Those at the Half God realm were even fewer — fewer than ten thousand.
But now, there were a million at the Half God realm.
And the peak of Martial Venerable had become the lowest rank among the ten-million-strong Asura army.
Such was their transformation.
Direct and powerful!!!
"Lord Chu Feng." But suddenly, Lord Xiang Ji knelt before Chu Feng again. Not only did he kneel, but he was also sobbing bitterly, his face filled with shame.
At first, the other Asura Spirits were puzzled by Xiang Ji's actions, but once he spoke, they all understood.
"I cultivated for so many years before raising my cultivation from third grade Half God to sixth grade Half God."
"Yet after following Lord Chu Feng for less than a year, I've reached eighth grade Half God."
"And yet before this, I was too foolish to know what was good for me, even questioning Lord Chu Feng. I truly deserve to die ten thousand deaths."
The moment Xiang Ji said this, the other Asura Spirits knelt down one after another, shame washing over many of their faces.
Back when they learned they would be following Chu Feng, and that forming a contract would cause their cultivation to regress, many of them had been afraid and resistant.
If the Asura King hadn't been the first to form a contract with Chu Feng, some of them would certainly have refused.
To put it bluntly, Chu Feng had been too weak. Even if they didn't say it aloud, they harbored doubts.
But only now did they realize what kind of potential Chu Feng harbored.
They had been short-sighted. Fortunately, the Asura King and Lord Yun Liang had the wisdom to recognize a gem. Otherwise, they would have missed out on such a powerful master as Chu Feng.
How could they not feel ashamed upon realizing this?
"Seniors, please rise." Chu Feng said.
But the Spirits who had knelt refused to rise. They were truly ashamed, and the more they thought about it, the deeper their shame grew.
