Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 528: Pride and Prejudice

However, now that she could cultivate faster, she could advance faster as well.

In fact, she knew that soon she would be able to advance to the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.

The only other person who hadn’t advanced to the golden core stage was Butler Cheng, but even he was at the peak of the foundation establishment realm.

He would probably advance during the battle to the golden core.

Her husband kept suppressing his spiritual energy so that he wouldn’t advance too fast and leave her far behind. He had even pretended to be too busy with farm work to cultivate in the Soul Ring. But she knew that he was avoiding cultivation because if he continued at the same speed as before, she would be left behind by more than one realm.

She hadn’t said anything when she realized what he was doing and just went along with his excuses. But she had been cultivating like crazy when no one was around.

But now, she has gained the ability to absorb spiritual energy almost at twice the speed as before.

So, she didn’t have to worry anymore.

Mother Chu was so deep in meditation that she didn’t even notice her daughter’s presence.

Chu Miao didn’t want to disturb her mother, so she sat to the side and started cultivating using crystal cores.

Ye Xuan appeared in the resting area of the soldiers led by Gu Fan and Lei Ying in the West of the Base.

The severely injured had been sent to his future mother-in-law for treatment. The others were placed in tents, having their injuries tended to by trained doctors, volunteers, nurses, and other soldiers and survivors.

Lei Ying was the first to spot him.

"Boss, over here." He shouted loudly while waving his hand from where he was sitting like a sloth on the ground.

Almost everyone heard him and turned to look at the place he was waving at.

Ye Xuan had the urge to kick him to Mars when he saw how childish Lei Ying still behaved.

However, he could do nothing because this was his life and death brother. They had been through situations that even family members related by blood wouldn’t stick around for.

So, he really couldn’t bear to hurt this goofy brother.

He walked over from the edge of the camp to where Gu Fan was.

People were surprised by his appearance and how he seemed to be walking slowly but he arrived next to Gu Fan in the blink of an eye.

He only took a step and he was already thirty feet away, another step and was already disappearing into the distance.

Gu Fan and Lei Ying weren’t surprised at all. After all, they could also do the same, but the others were shocked at a show of such strength and power.

Ye Xuan, however, didn’t seem to notice that he had done something extraordinary.

He only cared about giving food to Gu Fan and Lei Ying.

Just as he was about to leave, Jing Xian showed up. It turned out he was also part of Gu Fan’s team and had gone to check on the treatment of those recuperating in the tent.

"Eat something before you start cultivating. The dense spiritual energy in the food can be converted into strength once you start to cultivate.

Remember not to share your food with ordinary people, otherwise you will kill them." Ye Xuan explained before leaving and heading to the next resting area in the North.

There, he also provided food to Pei Ming and Li Kun. Lu Ji, the little five-year-old, almost six years old, was also in the group.

He had insisted on leaving the Soul Ring and fighting as well.

However, he didn’t want to fight near Chu Miao because he thought she would be too protective, not giving him a chance to actually engage in actual combat, so he had chosen to go with Pei Ming to the battlefield.

The little boy was advancing quite fast as a cultivator.

He was already near the peak of the Qi refinement after several months of cultivation.

His goal had always been to be able to protect his powerful sister. So, he had to become stronger too. Otherwise he would drag down his beautiful sister instead of protecting her.

That was the reason the little boy had insisted on entering the battlefield. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Other fighters had been skeptical at first, seeing such a young child join them in battle.

Some had even urged Pei Ming to send him back into the safety of the base to protect him, or rather to get him away from there so that he didn’t become a nuisance during the battle.

Pei Ming had refused, after all Lu Ji was a cultivator and he was much more powerful than regular superpower users.

So, there was no need to be so cautious. But the other survivors didn’t believe him and even tried to defy his orders if he didn’t remove Lu Ji from the scene.

Nonetheless, Pei Ming stood his ground and once the battle began, those who had been clamouring for Lu Ji to be removed from the battlefield wanted to find a hole hundred feet deep to hide in never to show their faces again.

This was because the very little boy they had belittled had to save their lives countless times in the battlefield.

The pride they had as superpower users was crashed into dust in the battlefield by a five-year-old child.

They could do nothing but acknowledge his strength and leave him alone.

When Ye Xuan saw how exhausted the boy was, he felt something within him soften.

He walked over to where the boy was lying on the ground and placed a hand on his back, transferring spiritual energy into his body.

Lu Ji, whose eyes had been closed from exhaustion, opened his eyes slowly.

When he saw the serious face of Ye Xuan, he smiled shyly.

He hadn’t expected to be caught red-handed and completely wiped because of the first battle.

"Don’t tell pretty sister." Lu Ji said shyly.

He didn’t want Chu Miao to doubt his strength.
