Ji Huafei was also very depressed. He had not expected that in less than a year, the gap between him and Chen Lei had widened so much.
Chen Lei's performance also stimulated the Nine-Headed Lion and Ji Huafei. They practiced almost desperately afterwards, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds in the following period of time.
In fact, Chen Lei's performance not only stimulated Fang Yun, Nine-headed Lion, Ji Huafei and others, but also stimulated the new disciples of Tongtian Academy.
These disciples were from the same class as Chen Lei. Although there were some gaps between them when they entered the academy, the gap was not so big. In a short period of time, Chen Lei left them far behind, so much so that they could hardly even see his back. How could these disciples of Tongtian Academy accept this
After all, those who can enter Tongtian Academy are the top talents from various families and races. They are all arrogant and cannot tolerate themselves falling behind others. Therefore, these disciples all work hard and practice desperately. In the end, the strength of this class of disciples far exceeds that of the disciples of other classes.
Naturally, the hunting orders issued by the Star Clan, the Dao Clan, and Xiling College also reached Tongtian College.
Tongtian Academy, on the other hand, announced to the outside world that Chen Lei was the disciple of the dean of Tongtian Academy. If various forces wanted to hunt down Chen Lei, they could only send masters in the Yuanshen realm to deal with Chen Lei. If any force disregarded the rules and dispatched strong men above the Tianren realm to deal with Chen Lei, then Tongtian Academy would fight to the death with that force.
Tongtian College made a strong voice to protect Chen Lei and became Chen Lei's strong backing.
In fact, what Tongtian Academy does is also a rule tacitly accepted by all races in the entire Middle Realm.
When a clan has a genius, under normal circumstances, they are not allowed to send out masters who are one major realm higher than this genius to hunt him down. Otherwise, the geniuses of all clans will probably be killed completely by the enemy's strong men.
If this is true, the entire Middle Realm will be in chaos, and no clan will be able to remain immune.
Therefore, generally speaking, powerful races will abide by such rules. Even if they want to deal with geniuses from another race, they will not cross the line. Otherwise, they will provoke a strong counterattack from the other force.
And after Tongtian Academy made such a statement, it was also a kind of protection for Chen Lei.
At this time, after killing several masters of the fifth level of the Yuanshen Realm, Chen Lei had already fled far away and hid deep in the Xiwang Mountains.
Chen Lei knew that if he killed these masters, the forces behind them would definitely drive them crazy and they would find and kill him at all costs.
It is not appropriate for Chen Lei to appear in the outside world now. It is better for him to stay away from the spotlight for the time being.
Moreover, Chen Lei broke through to the second level of the Soul Realm and gained many new insights. He needed to go into seclusion again to comprehend these insights and take his strength to a higher level.
Chen Lei found a secluded place deep in the Xiwang Mountains, opened up a cave, and set up layers of illusion arrays outside the cave. It would be difficult for ordinary strong men to discover this place.
After arranging all this, Chen Lei began to retreat and comprehend the martial arts.
After breaking through to the second level of the Soul Realm, in fact, both Chen Lei's soul and body were extremely terrifying and powerful. But now, his mastery of the skills could not keep up with the improvement of his realm.
