The examination continued one round after another. The students who came out from the array only had their spiritual essence exhausted. The ones who lost were all dispirited and pale-faced. Of course, there were also those who suffered heavy losses, but very few people took advantage of the situation and admitted defeat.
Soon, someone noticed that Sun Ming, who usually could not last two rounds, had entered the top eight and four in the midterm examination!
Soon, Sun Ming was surrounded by people, some of whom he had defeated, the students who were also citizens of the outer city began to speak. “Sigh, Sun Ming, I remember that your blow-out technique wasn’t so powerful in the past? How come it’s so powerful today? I almost felt like my whole body was being torn apart when I was dragged into it.”
“Hehe, of course, I met a powerful cultivation method researcher who helped me tailor a cultivation method. After the modification, the power of the cultivation method and my cultivation method’s compatibility increased a lot!”
Sun Ming was so excited that his face turned red. The young man couldn’t even keep things in his heart, and he wasn’t good at deliberately hiding anything. Moreover, he had promised Zhou Ji that he would bring customers to Zhou Ji’s store.
Of course, what made him so excited was not only the power of the wind blowing technique, but also the reward for this midterm exam.
In the practical exam, the top ten were all full marks, and his written exam results were usually in the top three in the class, so how could he not be in the top three in this midterm exam! The exam reward was ten crystals for each of the top three!
“Wow, this time your title of whirlwind is going to be confirmed. Are you preparing to rush to the first place this time?” Someone asked again.
“I’ll try, what if I succeed?”
Sun Ming also wanted to know how far he could go now. Of course, what he wanted more was to try again against that guy surnamed Bai who beat him in a few seconds last time!
Just as Sun Ming thought, although the process was a little tortuous, he still won in the end.
The only perso left was this guy surnamed Bai in front of him.
“Sun Ming, I didn’t expect your strength to improve so quickly.”
The guy surnamed Bai that Sun Ming mentioned was a very “beautiful” boy. He was from one of the 24 branches of the Bai family, Bai Shier Xing. Moreover, he was a bastard, and his name was Bai Fang. He looked at Sun Ming on the other end of the screen indifferently, and his tone was very serious.
Sun Ming didn’t say anything. Every time he faced this guy, his heart would always be filled with low self-confidence and inferiority. Of course, right now, he just wanted to give this guy a good beating.
The countdown ended.
The whirlwind in front of Sun Ming flew toward Bai Fang. And he himself rolled on the ground in a very familiar manner.
The whirlwind had just passed two-thirds of the way, and Sparks were already appearing from where Sun Ming had been standing.
A half-foot-long needle bounced on the ground and flew up again.
“I don’t know how you got here, but with your whirlwind, the power is not enough.” Bai Fang stood where he was, controlling the flying needle to attack Sun Ming, who was dodging awkwardly once again, he turned a blind eye to the approaching whirlwind.
Sun Ming didn’t say anything. He was fully focused on defending against the attack that could come at any time.
At this moment, when the whirlwind collided with Bai Fang, a metal shield suddenly formed in front of him.
This was the reason why he dared to stand there. It was a metal defensive spell.
The whirlwind and the shield collided, and it seemed to be in a stalemate, making a sound that made people’s teeth ache. Meanwhile, the flying needle continued to attack. Taking advantage of one of Sun Ming’s dodging mistakes, it directly pierced through his arm.
Just as Bai Fang controlled the flying needle to give Sun Ming another fatal blow, his expression suddenly changed.
The metal shield suddenly shattered!
The whirlwind shattered the metal shield, bringing along the remnants of the shield as it rammed toward Bai Fang. In the span of a breath, the remnants of the whirlwind had left a few deep wounds on his chest and abdomen that were bone deep.
At this moment, the power of the Whirlwind was much weaker. After wrapping Bai Fang in it, the tearing force was not very strong. However, the whirlwind was like thousands of small knives. The remnants of the shield quickly cut Bai Fang until he was covered in wounds.
At this moment, he no longer had the time to control the flying needles. Sun Ming had finally been freed.
“Do you admit defeat?”
Sun Ming’s heart was also soft. He looked at Bai Fang who was struggling in the Whirlwind and shouted loudly.
All he got was Bai Fang’s muffled groan.
Sun Ming was also ruthless at that moment. Another whirlwind flew out…
The sun had already slanted down. Recently, the weather had changed rapidly, so the temperature difference between morning and evening was big.
“Please come again.”
Zhou Ji, who had already put on his long sleeves, smiled and looked at the family of three in front of him who had finished paying the bill. After they turned around and left, their faces became expressionless again at the speed of light.
It was a boring life. Now, even earning money did not have much excitement.
After all, when you had millions of dollars on your account, a few hundred dollars might turn into drizzle in your eyes.
‘Zhou Ji, Oh Zhou Ji, when did you become so decadent?’
Zhou Ji let out a long sigh. He braced himself and picked up the book titled “Exploring the Human Body’s Meridians and the Law of the Circulation of Spiritual Essence” in front of him.
However, before he had even flipped through two pages, he was attracted by the clear laughter and the sounds of people climbing down the stairs.
[Second Stage Soaring Spell]
A petite figure flew over from the air and directly pounced into Zhou Ji’s embrace.
“Is today’s cultivation over? Xiao Rui is so awesome!”
Zhou Ji held his daughter in one hand and caught Little White who had rolled down the stairs with the other.
If it weren’t for the spiritual essence that had changed the physical quality of living beings, Zhou Ji was really afraid that Little White would die after so many visits.
“Yes, Yes, daddy.”
Xiao Rui smiled very happily. While showing Zhou Ji the situation of her soul, she told him about the cultivation just now.
“… I think I should be able to reach the fourth level soon!”
“Good, Xiao Rui is great! In two days, I will change the cultivation method for you again. Let’s strive to reach the fourth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm by the end of the year!” Zhou Ji laughed and lifted Xiao Rui up.
After all, she was still a child, and her body had not grown yet. No matter how good the cultivation method was, it might not be able to withstand it. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Zhou Ji prepared a new version of the cultivation method with strengthening the physical quality and condensing the purity of spiritual essence as the main terms. Although this would cause the speed of cultivation to decrease, his daughter was still young after all, so there was no rush for such matters.
The father and daughter chatted. Before long, a pale-faced fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth pushed open the door of Zhou Ji’s shop.
The youth was very beautiful. If his short hair was a little longer, it was entirely possible that he would be mistaken for a girl.
He looked just like someone who had walked out of a comic.
“Excuse me, is Master Zhou Here?”
The young man came in and said this to Zhou Ji with a respectful tone. In his impression, a cultivation method researcher who could modify cultivation methods for others should be an old pedant. On the path of cultivation method research, it was impossible to develop without hundreds or thousands of foundation cultivation methods.
“Master… Zhou?”
Zhou Ji gently patted his daughter’s butt, letting her bring Little White to play while he examined the youth in front of him….
