In the VIP lounge.
“Someone, come here!”
As soon as Wei Xia opened his eyes, he shouted in horror.
The bodyguards at the door quickly rushed in, panic-stricken, thinking the young master had encountered danger again, only to find out it had just been a nightmare, and they could only look at each other in confusion.
Wei Xia, however, was drenched in cold sweat, his complexion deathly pale, clearly frightened by the nightmare he had just experienced.
His throat was hoarse from shouting, but he didn’t forget to stare at the bodyguards with his bloodshot eyes, demanding, “Did you catch them? Did you catch the person I asked for?”
The bodyguard showed a troubled expression, “Young master, we are still trying to capture them… We will inform you as soon as we have them.”
“Tell me, you can definitely catch them, right!” Wei Xia’s eyes, suffused with blood, stared at the other man.
The bodyguard stiffly replied, “Yes, young master, we will definitely catch them, this time it’s Sky God International’s Zhao Li himself who has gone to capture them.”
“Zhao Li… I see, it’s him. I’ve even learned swordsmanship from him, he’s capable…” Wei Xia let out a sigh of relief, feeling like he had been drained of water, and the next second, he turned his head and passed out.
“Nurse!” the bodyguards panicked.
At the harbor.
Two bodies quietly sank into the river.
Pei Jinye watched all this expressionlessly.
He sighed softly in the end.
“You wanted to kill me, and I even chose a sea burial for you. Is there anyone as kind as me in this world? You’re not saying anything, so you agree, right? That’s what I thought too.”
He turned around.
He put his mask back on.
He vanished into the thick fog.
After consuming two Transcendents,
Pei Jinye’s Vitality had almost dropped by one-third.
He pulled up the attribute panel.
[Name]: Pei Jinye;
[Extraordinary Genes]: Devour·First Form (14/100) (Psychic·Mind Cannon (1/3), Body·Diamond (1/3), Spirit·Shadow (1/3), Form·Variant (1/3), new Instrument · Sword (1/3), new Qi Sense·Mark (1/3) (Strength Series Fragments 2/3);
[Extraordinary Abilities]: Blood Spear; Retrogression; Golden Armor; Dark Shadow Flicker; Phantom Body; Metal Telekinesis; Sword Intent (new); Qi Sense Tracking (new);
[Vitality Value]: 7.4-10.5;
[Stamina]: 9.6-13.3 (average human value 1);
[Psychic Power]: 8.5-11.8;
[Skills]: Shock (Great Success 35%); Thousands of Autumns in a Big Dream (Great Success 36%); Twelve Lotuses (Great Success 31%); Shadow Sword Technique (Great Success 7%); King Kong Indestructible (Beginner 25.1%); Knife in Sleeve (Beginner 55%); Dark Shadow Assault (Beginner 1%); Appraisal Technique (Beginner 11%); Firearms (Beginner 8%); Basic Breathing Method (Beginner 1%); Blood Guiding Art (Beginner 0.01%); (new: Quick-draw Sword Technique (Beginner 33%); Firearms (Beginner 1%); Psychic Tracking Technique (Beginner 1%))
The drop in Vitality was within a manageable range, besides, there were still four Blood-red Carps at home.
The increase in the upper limit of psychic power by 1 surprised Pei Jinye.
At his current stage, it was difficult to achieve an increase of even 0.1 in the upper limit, but now, after consuming the man with glasses who had remarkable psychic power, he saw a direct surge of 1 in his upper limit.
The man with glasses’ extraordinary ability was Qi Sense Tracking.
In other words, Pei Jinye could now, with a single thought, leave his psychic imprint on an item and track it within a certain range.
But there was a downside… he couldn’t fake someone else’s psychic imprint.
Although he had devoured the man’s memories and abilities, he could not mimic the other’s psychic mark.
That meant, if he encountered a powerful psychic-class adversary in the future, they might discover the psychic imprints he left secretly.
“The only good news seems to be that psychics generally have weak physical bodies, while I benefit from the Body Technique System… Killing them will be easy.”
At 1 a.m.
Pei Jinye returned to his place carrying a brown handbag.
The source of the tracking on the documents had been cleaned up just as the man with glasses had remembered…
He was curious why this document had provoked such a large reaction from Sky God International.
The importance of this document, according to both the memory of the man with glasses and Zhao Li, was limited to its necessity for the higher echelons of Sky God.
It seemed as if it was something they wanted kept in the dark…
“For Heaven God, this thing is very important, but for me, it’s just a piece of garbage…”
In the dimly lit room, without the lights on, Pei Jinye sat cross-legged on the soft sofa with a bottle of juice in his hand, sipping thoughtfully.
“Buzz!”
The phone on the table in front of him suddenly lit up.
Pei Jinye reached out and picked it up.
Ice Sister: [I was dealing with something and only just saw the message. If you’re asking me this question, it means you weren’t paying attention in class.]
Pei Jinye’s relaxed expression as he drank his beverage gradually stiffened…
The phone vibrated again.
Ice Sister sent another message: [Twelve years of basic education is to give you some understanding of this world, whether it concerns awakening or cultivation. Though not much is mentioned, the first class of high school touched upon this… A bottleneck is like a well in the human body, appearing at each stage. High school students rarely encounter it, normally waiting until they are at Wu University, using higher-level mental methods to expand this well.]
Pei Jinye recalled his predecessor’s memories.
For ordinary people, Transcendence was somewhat distant.
Much information felt as if it was kept under wraps.
Those with background learned about it from a young age, while families with generations of ordinary people would never be able to access such extraordinary information.
Pei Jinye understood this deeply.
Were it not for him traversing time with a golden finger, he would likely have been just an ordinary high school student, studying subjects like language, history, mathematics… Perhaps attend an average university, never advancing further in cultivation.
After graduating, find a job… With luck, work for the Federation, for the elite, or for Transcendents… then marry, have children, and hope the next generation succeeds in awakening.
“Buzz buzz!”
The phone vibrated once more.
Ice Sister: “If you’re encountering this type of situation, it means the existing training methods are no longer effective for your body. You need more advanced training methods, which ordinary people wouldn’t come into contact with until they get to Wu University, except for the children of the privileged… How about this, after your assessment is over, I’ll arrange some special training time for you. You also need to catch up on your theoretical knowledge! I will supervise it all after your assessment is over!”
Ice Sister: “Don’t think that just because you’ve passed the elite assessment with extra credit, everything is all good. Since you’re an elite, you must also master the theoretical knowledge. Don’t end up not knowing where the Federation Capital is when someone asks you.”
Pei Jinye was startled.
He couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Ice Sister: “If you don’t know, hurry up and memorize it for me. Don’t ever say you know me again—I’d be embarrassed!”
Pei Jinye:
He silently typed: “I know, it’s in the Eastern Continent…”
Ice Sister: “Too slow of an answer, extra practice when you get back!”
Pei Jinye:
Feels like a homeroom teacher… Ice Sister, you’re making me anxious.
He typed quickly: “Stop, stop, let’s talk about everything after I return! It’s getting late, get some rest, sweet dreams, I’m off to sleep first.”
His phone vibrated once again.
Ice Sister: “Heh.”
Pei Jinye tossed his phone away as if it were burning him.
Having a caring beauty as a teacher is truly a hassle.
Early the next morning.
Pei Jinye received a call from Mother Pei. When he returned home, he saw several stacks of books at the doorstep and looked up in astonishment.
Mother Pei handed him a note, also somewhat puzzled: “It was sent by Teacher Xiao from your school. She just called and said that you should read these when you have the time; she will coach you personally later on.”
Pei Jinye’s scalp went numb on the spot.
Mother Pei couldn’t help but praise: “Teacher Xiao is really nice and responsible.”
Father Pei agreed wholeheartedly.
Pei Jinye’s face was numb.
He suddenly regretted asking Ice Sister about breakthroughs the night before.
After being reminded by Ice Sister last night, many memories started to emerge. However, those devoured by him effectively had not risen through normal means.
So, he was helpless.
But high school textbook knowledge… surely that wasn’t necessary.
Pei Jinye moved the textbooks into his bedroom and then sent a message to Ice Sister: “Received, love it.”
Then he pocketed his phone, locked the door, tossed the keys aside, and quickly left home.
Pei Jinye miscalculated.
He thought he could fob Ice Sister off like that.
But then he realized today was November 1st, the day to print the admission ticket.
Ice Sister even called herself: “Principal Wang also wants to see you. If you’re not busy now, hurry over.”
Inside the principal’s office.
Principal Wang looked at Pei Jinye’s condition and smiled broadly: “It seems you have made substantial progress in your recent training, have you taken all the Vitality supplements?”
Ice Sister added: “Those materials supplementing Vitality were personally selected for you by Principal Wang, tailored to your current stage for better absorption.”
To Pei Jinye’s surprise, he hurriedly expressed his thanks.
Principal Wang waved his hand: “Don’t mention it, it’s the best we can do to help you. Later, I will take you to meet an old war buddy of mine at the Education Department. He will be in charge of the defense for your elite assessment. I want to introduce you to him beforehand so he can assist you promptly if any unexpected events occur during the assessment period.”
At that moment, Ice Sister printed out Pei Jinye’s examination slip.
It had his photo on it, and the examination date was set for November 3rd at 9 a.m. sharp, to be held in the military district on Spring Road.
“Come to school early tomorrow morning; I will personally take you to the examination site to prevent any mishaps on the way,” said Principal Wang.
Pei Jinye did not refuse.
Spring Road was in the northwest region of Da Peng City, quite far from both his current residence and where his parents lived now.
With a dedicated car on offer, he was naturally very willing.
In front of Principal Wang, Ice Sister didn’t mention anything about the textbooks, but her deep gaze seemed to remind someone subtly.
Pei Jinye felt guilty and followed Principal Wang, quickly leaving the office.
A cold laugh faintly followed behind him.
“Principal, I’ve made all the arrangements with the Education Department, and your car is waiting downstairs at the government building,” the office manager rushed over and informed.
Principal Wang nodded and motioned for Pei Jinye to come along.
Pei Jinye exchanged glances with the approaching middle-aged man, who obviously nodded politely.
“Today I’m taking you over to also check your Blood energy; it’s a free test, so it’s a waste not to do it. It also gives you a point of reference… By the way, have you been tested before?” Principal Wang suddenly asked.
Shaking his head, Pei Jinye replied: “I’ve never gone before.”
Principal Wang nodded and said, “That’s just fine. Considering the state you’re in… there shouldn’t be any issues. It’ll give you some confidence for when the time comes.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements.”
Walking side by side, Principal Wang and Pei Jinye followed the middle-aged man, who was walking ahead with his body half-turned to lead the way.
As they passed the teaching area, suddenly a familiar voice came from the second floor.
“Holy crap, Brother Ye!”
Surprised, Pei Jinye looked up to see his old schoolmate, the chubby kid, standing in the corridor, staring at him in astonishment. However, upon noticing Principal Wang’s gaze sweeping over, the kid swiftly squatted down, hiding behind the balustrade.
Pei Jinye:
Principal Wang just chuckled softly: “It’s been a while since you visited, haven’t you been in touch with the students here?”
“Occasionally, but I’ve been focused on my training and had less time,” Pei Jinye replied.
Nodding, Principal Wang said with a touch of nostalgia: “Friendships at your age are the most pure. By the way, have you considered which city you’ll go to for Wu University after graduating high school?”
