Translator: 549690339
It was already past nine forty at night when I returned to the city from the base, and Principal Wang and I found a fast-food restaurant nearby to sit down.
Principal Wang didn’t offer much advice about my next steps.
“You are a child with your own opinions, determination, and perseverance. As long as you’ve chosen the right direction, I will surely hear about you in the Federation when I am in Da Peng City. Cherish this opportunity, and never stop progressing just because of the advancements you see before you.”
During our farewell, Principal Wang spoke earnestly, he had high hopes for Pei Jinye and seemed to be looking forward to the day when Pei Jinye’s fame would shake the world.
As the dust-covered official car drove away,
Pei Jinye silently retracted his gaze.
The path he had to walk had never been calm; it’s just that he couldn’t explain it to others.
Of course, there was no need to explain.
Under the cover of night, the luxury sedan sent by Uncle Tang of the Tang Family arrived quickly.
For others, successfully passing the elite assessment and catching the attention of the powerful was a great opportunity.
But for Pei Jinye, this very matter was fraught with contradictions.
On one hand, he needed to obtain more cultivation resources from the powerful, but on the other, he didn’t want to attract too much attention.
Because with any lack of caution, he could expose his secrets.
After the specially difficult second stage, Pei Jinye had always thought that having been able to kill a Guardian of Sky God International and a member of the Old Gods Association, he could consider himself an expert.
But in reality…
The mysterious methods used in the assessment, had he faced them head-on, he wouldn’t have stood a chance to win!
“Still too weak!”
“I must rush to become stronger!”
In Pei Jinye’s mind, the ideal situation would be if someone provoked him, he would be fully capable of killing them.
He closed his eyes to rest for less than twenty minutes.
Pei Jinye arrived at Uncle Tang’s villa, didn’t stay long, and after a round of hypnosis, left.
When Liu Huilan sent Pei Jinye away, she was somewhat puzzled, feeling that Pei Jinye seemed different tonight.
But what exactly was different, she couldn’t pin down right away.
Meanwhile.
In the city hospital, the presence of numerous black-clad bodyguards outside a certain VIP ward indicated the arrival of a very important person.
Wei Xia lay in the hospital bed, his face alternating between light and shadow.
Inside the room, aside from him, there was one other person.
It was Wei Xianren, who had finished the elite assessment that afternoon.
“Since you’ve already recovered, why haven’t you been discharged?” Wei Xianren, dressed in a black trench coat, looked as cold as ice, his expression calm, his eyes faintly glowing blue.
Wei Xia remained silent.
Wei Xianren stood up: “I’ve heard about what happened to you. People from Heaven God were killed, and the fact that you’re alive means that they weren’t targeting our Wei Family. The investigation from father’s side has been called off.”
Wei Xia frowned and looked up: “So, I was beaten up for nothing?”
“What else?” Wei Xianren turned his head to look at him: “You are too weak now.”
Wei Xia was angry and ashamed.
“This year, three people from Da Peng City signed up for the elite assessment, me, Gu Wutong, and a Pei I don’t recognize,” Wei Xianren said indifferently. “I seem to have caught wind that all three of us passed.”
“Pei? Pei Jinye?” Wei Xia blurted out the name.
The surname Pei wasn’t very common in their Da Peng City.
“Pei Jinye? That’s the name,” Wei Xianren looked up: “You know him?”
Wei Xia froze, getting somewhat excited: “Are you sure it’s him?”
Wei Xianren’s face remained calm: “Unless it’s a coincidence with the name, it is indeed him… He was personally accompanied by Second Middle School Principal Wang.”
Wei Xia’s expression stiffened for a moment; he slowly raised his head: “Did you just say that kid also passed?”
“Yes.”
“How could he?” Wei Xia couldn’t understand: “He hasn’t been in the Bronze Association for long, how could he possibly pass the elite assessment? If it was that easy to pass, then why did I fail back then!”
Wei Xianren glanced at him: “This year’s assessment was revised, with significantly less risk than before, and in terms of difficulty…”
He tilted his head and said: “Manageable.”
Wei Xia’s expression was inexplicable: “How could he possibly pass? His family are paupers, he has no resources, no connections, on what basis could he succeed?”
Wei Xianren paused his departure, speaking over his shoulder to his clanship brother: “Instead of questioning others, you’d better spend more effort on studying cultivation. You should know… losing those files has caused great disdain from our family towards you. If you cannot prove your value, the family will treat you just like they did to Uncle Wei five years ago.”
Wei Xia’s eyes narrowed.
The door closed, he fiercely slapped the hospital bed.
“Damn, these people!”
Under the night sky.
After taking a shower, Pei Jinye returned to his own room.
He sent a message to Ice Sister.
[Passed]
After a moment, he sent another message: [Let me know when you’re free, let’s have dinner together tomorrow]
Ice Sister seemed to be busy, she couldn’t respond right away.
Probably on another dangerous mission in secret.
Putting down the phone,
Pei Jinye began to cultivate, sitting cross-legged.
The Four Seasons Talisman, Spring Chapter given by Star Ring leaned towards an integrated offensive and defensive mental method. Tonight, during cultivation, Pei Jinye especially started to record the changes in his attributes.
After one session of cultivation, his Vitality, Physical strength, and spiritual power all increased by varying amounts of 0.3.
At the moment, the first Blood Lotus had already condensed.
Pei Jinye also distinctly noticed that his Vitality Value ceiling, which was originally only 14.9, had now risen by 17 points.
There was a clear substantial improvement.
With this pace,
his strength would soon dramatically increase again!
It was three o’clock in the morning.
Ice Sister finally replied, “Meet me at the gate of Second Middle School at five in the afternoon.”
The next day, early in the morning,
the thin morning sunlight spread across the ground.
Pei Jinye had finished his morning run and was on his way back home when he noticed that the breakfast shop by the road had gathered more people than when it had first opened half an hour earlier.
He chose a nearby breakfast shop and bought breakfast portions for three people.
For the average residents of Da Peng City, the elite assessment on November 3rd was a distant affair, so many of them were unaware of what had happened the day before,
let alone the fact that one of Central State’s top figures had personally graced the city with a visit.
Noises of chatter spread underneath the steaming heat of the buns as Pei Jinye took the bag from the owner and turned back towards home.
He hadn’t walked two steps before he retracted his gaze, pretending as if he hadn’t noticed anything, and continued forward. This time, though, he didn’t head home but detoured towards a nearby alleyway.
However, before he could cross the street, the sensation of being watched disappeared altogether.
“Who is it?”
Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze discreetly.
Glancing at the electronic eye of a shop not far away, he then turned into the alley and quietly activated his ability, quickly retrieving the last ten minutes of videofeed from the electronic eyes of several nearby shops.
A vast amount of information data flowed into Pei Jinye’s mind.
With his spiritual power as high as 15 points, he showed no sign of any drain, quickly spotting a suspicious individual from one of the surveillance feeds.
A woman of medium height with a ponytail, dressed in a black leather jacket and high-top leather boots, wearing sunglasses…
After cross-referencing with other electronic eyes,
Pei Jinye was certain that when the mysterious woman had been cornered in a shop, she was watching him.
It was just as he began to suspect that the enigmatic woman had ducked into the alley between the shops.
“Whose people is she?”
Pei Jinye tried to control other electronic eyes, but found that the tall woman’s figure had already vanished, as if she had disappeared into thin air.
He had thought he would be able to live an ordinary, low-profile life for a bit longer, but to his surprise, they had located him so quickly.
“Indeed, there are no walls in the world without wind…”
He turned back and returned home.
The elders at home were working on financial reports, discussing money matters, and Pei Jinye listened, unable to make heads or tails of what they were saying.
While eating, Tang Huoyang called.
“Old Pei, are you going to the guild today?”
Pei Jinye glanced at the time, “Yes, I’ll go train a bit.”
“Got it, should I wait for you or come pick you up? I have free time, it depends on your schedule.”
“No need, I’m about to leave, I’ll get there in about fifteen minutes.”
“Alright, see you at the guild.”
Pei Jinye hung up the phone, wiped his hands, finished his breakfast quickly, pulled out a napkin to clean the corners of his mouth, “Dad, Mom, I’m done eating, I’m off to cultivate now.”
“Will you come back for lunch?” Mother Pei asked.
“No, I have an appointment.”
Pei Jinye was already putting on his shoes at the doorway.
Father Pei suddenly said with deep meaning, “Do you have enough money on you? Do you need to take more, have something good for lunch.”
Pei Jinye paused, his expression turning odd, as he pulled the door open, “I’m off.”
“He’s grown up,” Father Pei sighed deeply, looking at his wife, “Let’s push harder, save up for a marriage house for Xiao Ye.”
Outside the door… Pei Jinye had a dark line over his head.
The Bronze Association, behind the mountain.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Dust billowed.
After testing the strength he possessed now, Pei Jinye was quite curious about the power he could harness from activating a Blood Lotus.
With a thought,
he gently pushed his right palm towards the huge rock in front of him.
An ethereal Blood Lotus appeared faintly above his head, the Vitality condensed, and with full force channeled into his palm, he slapped the rock.
“Bang!”
The rock more than a meter in height suddenly leaped from the ground, dirt splattered, and the boulder was sent flying by his palm, leaving a trail of cracking sounds from the rockface as it rolled away more than ten meters distant.
The ground trembled.
Pei Jinye raised his right palm, momentarily dazed.
“This is just the pure strength of flesh and blood… what if I were to use the Technique “Quake” on top of this? Wouldn’t the effect be explosive!”
Pei Jinye hurried forward, looking at the boulder.
The surface of the rock had cracked open with fissures deep enough to fit a finger.
If he really utilized “Quake”, then the boulder in front of him would surely be completely shattered
The power of just one lotus of the “Twelve Lotuses” had already reached this extent.
So if all twelve lotuses were to blossom, wouldn’t he be able to summon a small dragon of divine power?
“Such strong power… the condensation of Blood Lotus means to explode all the body’s strength to an extreme point…”
Pei Jinye looked at his palm again, falling into deep thought.
“But the Twelve Lotuses, how much Vitality would be needed to condense them?”
As he pondered,
there was movement behind him.
“Old Pei, I’m not late, am I?” Tang Huoyang, dressed in a flamboyant jacket, looked every part the dissolute young master.
Pei Jinye came back to his senses and saw numbers [7.1-7.1] floating above Tang Huoyang’s head.
In contrast to his own spiritual power which had surpassed 16 points.
But Pei Jinye did not feel even slightly smug, remembering the Illusory Realm from yesterday’s assessment, he knew he was not truly powerful until he could achieve that level of heaven-defying ability!
Noticing the bag in Tang Huoyang’s hand, Pei Jinye asked, surprised, “You brought food as well?”
Tang Huoyang revealed just a corner of it, smiling, “Uncle Tang of the Tang Family gave it to me, his friend personally led a hunting expedition, got a Blood Sword Tiger, these two pounds of meat should be enough for us to share a meal.”
Pei Jinye’s eyes lit up slightly.
