"Jiang Ye actually lasted this long in the arena."
"He's only at the early stages of the second breakthrough, right? And his spearmanship is only at Major Success."
"Is he really from Penglai University? Not one of the ten great schools?" The students surrounding the arena were utterly astonished.
In terms of both cultivation realm and spearmanship mastery, Jiang Ye was clearly inferior to Tang Wuji.
Yet he had endured for several minutes against Tang Wuji's full-power assault?
Inconceivable.
"Teacher," Jiang Ye said, approaching Qiu Cang with his black spear and bowing slightly.
Qiu Cang regarded him calmly. "During your battle just now, why did your combat power fluctuate so wildly?"
Hearing this, Tang Wuji also turned to look.
He wasn't the only one. The other White Dragon University students present all shifted their attention to Jiang Ye.
As students of White Dragon University, their perspectives and insights were exceptionally sharp.
Most of them had noticed Jiang Ye's unstable combat power, which seemed to surge and wane unpredictably.
This fighting style was highly unusual.
"The power of your spearmanship sometimes reaches normal levels, but at other times it doubles that," Qiu Cang observed. "Why is this? Can you tell me the reason?"
Jiang Ye remained silent, his mind racing to formulate a response.
"Alright," Qiu Cang said with a smile. "I understand. Teacher Zhu taught you to use this method against opponents, didn't he?"
"It's indeed a clever tactic, especially effective against stronger opponents."
Jiang Ye gave a bashful smile.
Qiu Cang turned to Tang Wuji and the others. "You should all learn from this. Don't let your status as White Dragon University students make you think you can act with impunity."
"Just now, if Jiang Ye's spearmanship had been even slightly more refined, Tang Wuji would have been the one defeated."
The students in the training hall bowed respectfully in agreement.
"Jiang Ye," Qiu Cang said, turning back to him. "Of the one hundred and twenty flaws I pointed out earlier, you've only corrected half. And during that spar, over thirty new issues emerged."
"Ah?" Jiang Ye blinked in surprise. He hadn't realized he had so many flaws.
"Now, I'll explain the origins of these problems," Qiu Cang said. "Listen carefully."
"Yes, sir," Jiang Ye replied, straining to hear every word.
After a moment, Qiu Cang said calmly, "You have ten minutes to digest this. Then we'll continue with practical sparring."
"Tang Wuji, you'll spar with him."
"Yes, sir," Tang Wuji replied with a nod.
For Tang Wuji, this assignment was a welcome opportunity. He could defeat an opponent while honing his spearmanship. What could be better?
Jiang Ye, too, found Tang Wuji to be an ideal sparring partner. Though Tang Wuji was the weakest among the students, he was still far stronger than Jiang Ye. If anyone else had taken the stage, it would have been a one-sided beatdown, rendering the spar ineffective. This slightly superior opponent applied immense pressure on Jiang Ye without overwhelming him completely, making Tang Wuji the perfect whetstone.
Time passed.
On his very first day at White Dragon University, Jiang Ye was thrust into an excruciatingly rigorous training regimen. After each intense sparring session, Qiu Cang allowed him only five to ten minutes to digest his gains before immediately launching into the next round. This relentless cycle continued for over ten hours, until midnight.
In the training hall, Qiu Cang said calmly, "Alright, everyone go home. Be back here at six tomorrow morning."
"Yes," everyone replied, including Tang Wuji, bowing their hands in unison.
"Jiang Ye, stay behind," Qiu Cang added.
"Yes," Jiang Ye replied, having no intention of leaving anyway.
The burly Tang Wuji waved at him. "See you tomorrow, Classmate Jiang!"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," Jiang Ye smiled back. After a day of sparring, they were no longer strangers.
Once everyone had left, only Jiang Ye and Qiu Cang remained in the vast training hall.
"Jiang Ye," Qiu Cang said, looking at him with a gentle smile. "After a full day of this, how do you feel?"
"Exhausted," Jiang Ye replied truthfully.
He was indeed exhausted. The relentless sparring, constant corrections, and sheer intensity of the day had pushed his body to its limits.
This high-intensity training style was completely foreign to him, unlike anything he had experienced under Zhu Honglie's tutelage.
Even with Jiang Ye's solid foundation in martial dao, he found it grueling.
"At White Dragon University," Qiu Cang continued calmly, "we train like this every day. If you can't keep up, tell me, and I'll ease the pressure."
"That won't be necessary," Jiang Ye shook his head. "Just keep teaching in your style, Teacher. I can handle it."
"Oh?" A flicker of surprise crossed Qiu Cang's eyes.
He had expected Jiang Ye to take the opportunity to request a reduction in pressure. After all, White Dragon University's teaching methods were notoriously harsh, especially for students from Penglai University.
But the young man's stubbornness wasn't entirely unexpected.
"Very well," Qiu Cang said with a faint smile. "Return to your training. I'll grant you three hours of sleep."
"Yes, sir," Jiang Ye replied without hesitation.
"You may leave now," Qiu Cang said.
Jiang Ye didn't move immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Teacher, could you tell me where Senior Sister Chen Zilu is?"
"Oh?" Qiu Cang glanced at him, surprised, then chuckled. "Your senior sister is still training. Are you looking for her?"
"When does she rest?" Jiang Ye asked.
"She doesn't," Qiu Cang replied casually. "Your senior sister is already at the mid-stage of her fourth breakthrough. Once a month is sufficient for her."
Jiang Ye stared in astonishment, then nodded slowly.
That makes sense.
Even he now only needed two or three hours of rest each day to maintain his routine.
For a fourth breakthrough expert, even going a month without sleep wouldn't be a problem.
"Your senior sister is at White Dragon Star Garden No. 10," Qiu Cang said.
"If you want to find her, it's best to wait until after 3 a.m.," Qiu Cang advised. "She doesn't like being disturbed before then."
"If you go, take this with you."
Qiu Cang flipped his palm, revealing a semi-transparent metallic bottle floating in his hand, radiating an otherworldly starlight.
"What's this?" Jiang Ye carefully took the bottle.
Inside, a pale purple liquid swirled, shimmering with a soft starlight.
"This is Extreme Sea Primordial Liquid, from the Extreme Sea Star System."
"Your senior sister needs it often," Qiu Cang said, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, it's extremely rare. Even I have difficulty obtaining it regularly."
Jiang Ye was inwardly shocked.
Even someone like Teacher Qiu struggles to get it?
This Extreme Sea Primordial Liquid must be unimaginably precious, beyond any monetary value.
"I'll make sure it reaches Senior Sister safely," Jiang Ye said solemnly.
"Good. Now go back."
"Yes, sir." Jiang Ye turned and left.
After Jiang Ye had gone, Qiu Cang watched his retreating figure, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"This kid chose me because of that Xiao Chen girl, didn't he?"
"Heh heh."
"He truly lives up to being Old Zhu's student," Qiu Cang murmured, shaking his head slightly. "They both dare to dream so big. At least Old Zhu was half a young master back in his day."
"This kid has nothing."
"I remember a few of the Transcendent Aptitude students from this generation expressing interest in that girl," Qiu Cang recalled.
As Chen Zilu's teacher, he was acutely aware of his female disciple's fame.
Chen Zilu.
She had once fought a peerless prodigy with Transcendent Aptitude to a draw.
As long as she remained at the university, she was undeniably the top student with Dao Bone Aptitude, capable of contending with Transcendent Aptitude and remaining undefeated.
If not for her failure in the trial that prevented her from participating in the previous Great Stellar War, Chen Zilu's popularity would likely have soared to terrifying heights.
Even so, she currently held a firm position within the top three of the All-Stars Popularity Ranking.
The shock Chen Zilu had delivered to the world during that battle ran deep.
She had perfectly embodied the concept of "overwhelming the heroes of her era with peerless beauty," and "possessing unparalleled grace, celestial beauty, and jade-like features, standing alone at the pinnacle."
It was precisely because of her overwhelming fame...
Qiu Cang initially believed that Chen Zilu had deliberately failed the trial to avoid the limelight.
Later, he learned that there was another reason entirely.
"Jiang Ye, even if he came from an ordinary family in East Sea Province..."
"But he's from Ancheng?" Qiu Cang shook his head. How could such a small place possibly contend with those transcendent families wielding immense power?
Moreover, in his eyes, while Jiang Ye's performance was decent,
it paled in comparison to the monstrous prodigies with Transcendent Aptitude.
White Dragon University, temporary villa district.
Jiang Ye's evening lodging had been arranged here.
After entering the villa, Jiang Ye didn't immediately begin cultivating.
Instead, he checked his status panel:
[Great Sun Spear Technique: Major Success (22%)]
"Under Teacher Qiu's relentless training,"
"my spearmanship hasn't slowed down at all," Jiang Ye marveled inwardly. "In fact, it's progressing even faster than before!"
He had initially predicted that after breaking through 20% of Major Success, the difficulty would increase exponentially, making it unlikely to improve by even 1% in a day.
But now?
It had surged by a full 3%!
Gaining 3% at this stage was a completely different matter than before.
Previously, a 3% increase in progress would raise his spearmanship power by 1 point. Now, it had jumped to 10 points.
This exponential increase in difficulty every 10% of progress was due to the increasingly dramatic improvements in his strength.
"Good," Jiang Ye thought, his heart brimming with joy. "These seven days of intensive training will likely be equivalent to a month of solitary cultivation."
Attending White Dragon University for advanced studies wasn't just about surface-level improvements. More importantly, Qiu Cang's teaching methods had proven immensely beneficial.
Upon returning, Jiang Ye could fully implement this high-pressure training regimen.
"No more training tonight," Jiang Ye glanced at the time—half past midnight. "I'll rest at the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder."
Jiang Ye closed his eyes.
Fourth level of the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder.
When Jiang Ye climbed up again, he was surprised to find that further trials were impossible.
You have passed the 'Martial Dao Titan' trial. Please continue climbing to the next level.
Reform and innovate. Press forward with unwavering resolve.
"Press forward with unwavering resolve?" Jiang Ye stared at the message, pondering its meaning. "Does this mean the opportunity for reform comes only once? So I can't repeat the trial?"
Soon, Jiang Ye understood.
The words were a reminder: having taken the first step toward reform, he must press forward with unwavering resolve, never looking back.
Only by following a single path to its end could he forge a truly new one.
"Looks like I'll have to return to the first level to temper my Martial Dao Will," Jiang Ye sighed, shaking his head.
He didn't want to go back, but the system had forced his hand. What choice did he have?
Three in the morning.
The vast White Dragon University lay in profound silence, yet its lights blazed brightly.
For the university's students, this was the prime time for relentless study and training.
Whoosh!
A streak of light suddenly flashed through the floating, star-like structures, hurtling toward the area housing Star Garden No. 10.
Moments later.
At the entrance to a cluster of dazzling, floating buildings.
"This must be Senior Sister's residence," Jiang Ye murmured, gazing at the radiant complex.
As an Upper A-tier student at White Dragon University, Chen Zilu's living quarters were naturally extraordinary, far grander than Penglai University's Heaven-Tier Zone.
"Senior Sister, I've arrived," Jiang Ye said into his phone, sending Chen Zilu a voice message.
Within seconds, a low hum vibrated through the air.
Buzz~ The cosmos-themed gate at the entrance slowly swung open.
In the distance, a slender, beautiful girl in a moon-white, flowing chiffon dress floated on the wind. Her skirt billowed in the gale, revealing glimpses of her fair, jade-like legs.
It was Chen Zilu.
As she drifted closer, a faint, sweet fragrance wafted through the air.
"When did you arrive?" Chen Zilu landed gracefully, her white shoes and socks pristine, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Ye.
"I got here during the day," Jiang Ye replied with a smile.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" A hint of reproach flickered in her eyes.
"I didn't want to interrupt your cultivation." Jiang Ye chuckled, extending the bottle of Extreme Sea Primordial Liquid that Qiu Cang had given him. "Teacher Qiu asked me to give you this."
"Mm." Chen Zilu nodded and accepted the bottle, but her captivating gaze lingered on Jiang Ye's other hand. "What's that?"
In his left hand, Jiang Ye held a small, square box crafted from exquisite cosmic material.
"Remember when we had dinner last time, and you mentioned you liked studying ancient artifacts?" Jiang Ye smiled. "I happen to have some research on that."
"What kind of research?" Chen Zilu asked, tilting her head in curiosity.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there were Twelve Zodiac signs: Xu, Chen, Mao..."
As Jiang Ye spoke, he opened the metal box.
Click
A gilded necklace shimmered into view.
The centerpiece was a coiled, head-raised auspicious beast, its canine-like face sharp and angular, crafted from pale gold Cosmic Glazed Glass. Its eyes gleamed with alertness and majesty.
The beast's front paws clasped a delicate Ruyi Lock, its surface engraved with purple-gold cloud-thunder patterns.
"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye said with a smile, "according to the ancient Zodiac, your birth year falls under the Azure Lion."
"This necklace is called Azure Lion's Year-End Vigil," he explained. "The ancients believed that wearing it would grant loyal protection and ward off evil."
"Senior Sister, this is a gift for you."
Jiang Ye extended the necklace toward Chen Zilu.
Having come to White Dragon University specifically to see Chen Zilu, he couldn't possibly arrive empty-handed.
Two months earlier, when Jiang Ye had commissioned a necklace for Zhao Qingli, he had also ordered a matching set for Chen Zilu.
"Are you making this up?" Chen Zilu asked, her pretty face showing a hint of amusement. "The Twelve Zodiac? I've never heard of it."
"This isn't a fabrication," Jiang Ye replied solemnly, shaking his head. "It's recorded in ancient texts. If Senior Sister doesn't believe me, I can tell you all about it sometime."
"Alright," Chen Zilu said, reaching out to take the necklace.
"Where did you buy this?" she asked, examining the necklace with surprise. "The craftsmanship is exquisite. It must have cost a fortune, right?"
"It wasn't expensive," Jiang Ye said with a grin. "A necklace like this doesn't cost much."
Just then, Chen Zilu's expression froze.
"This is... Cosmic Glazed Glass?"
"Cosmic Glazed Glass worth 10,000 federal currency per gram?" Chen Zilu looked up at him, her pretty face stern. "Tell me honestly, how much did you actually spend?"
"Uh..."
Jiang Ye hadn't expected her to recognize the material with just a glance.
"It really wasn't expensive," he stammered.
"About a million federal currency in total," Jiang Ye coughed. "I can afford it now."
"A million isn't expensive?" Chen Zilu's face darkened. "Who told you to spend so much?"
"If you really wanted to give me a gift, even a few-hundred-currency necklace would have made me happy."
"There was absolutely no need to spend this much."
"A million is still money! It could have helped you improve your cultivation," Chen Zilu said, her gaze fixed on the handsome young man before her, her expression serious—and even a little angry.
"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye said, his voice equally earnest. "A necklace costing a few hundred or a few thousand currency would just be a necklace. But this one... this one can truly protect you."
"I'm not just wasting money. I genuinely want you to have its protection."
Chen Zilu was momentarily taken aback.
With her strength and insight, how could she fail to perceive the subtle magic woven into the necklace?
She had long sensed the faint divine aura emanating from it.
This necklace had undoubtedly been imbued with transcendent energy.
Moreover, it was highly likely that a powerhouse at or beyond the sixth breakthrough had personally cast the technique, granting her genuine protection in her current circumstances.
As Chen Zilu considered this, her gaze softened as she met the earnest gaze of the young man before her.
"Thank you," she murmured, her tone softening slightly as she shifted her gaze elsewhere. "You're very thoughtful."
"But next time," Chen Zilu huffed, "you're not allowed to give me such extravagant gifts again—unless your strength surpasses mine."
She lowered her head slightly and fastened the necklace around her swan-like neck.
"How does it look?" Chen Zilu tilted her head back, looking up at Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye carefully studied the young woman before him.
Clad in a pristine white dress, her complexion as fair as snow, the gilded necklace shone like a strand of stellar radiance at her throat, accentuating her ethereal beauty.
Whoosh~ A gentle breeze stirred.
The white hem of her dress fluttered, and the necklace shimmered in the night, casting her in an otherworldly, almost sacred light.
"Senior Sister, you look absolutely stunning," Jiang Ye said sincerely.
Chen Zilu smiled, her already stunning beauty enhanced by the radiant expression. Jiang Ye's words seemed to have genuinely delighted her.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Chen Zilu glanced down at the necklace around her neck. After a moment's hesitation, she retrieved a delicate jade stone from her robe.
The jade was entirely emerald green, radiating an otherworldly glow. Within its depths swirled a breathtaking crimson Flowing Light, like dawn's hues staining a frigid pool—a truly extraordinary sight.
"Here," Chen Zilu said. "I promised you a gift when you achieved your second breakthrough."
"This is Enlightenment Divine Jade. It will accelerate your cultivation speed."
"Enlightenment Divine Jade?" Jiang Ye's expression turned to astonishment.
Even the name alone hinted at its extraordinary value.
Having encountered numerous precious cultivation resources, Jiang Ye knew that the names of martial dao treasures were never chosen arbitrarily. Anything associated with the word "Divine" often carried an immeasurable value—tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? It was entirely possible.
"Senior Sister, this is far too precious!" he exclaimed.
"Enough nonsense," Chen Zilu retorted, glaring at him. "If you refuse to accept it, I'll return the necklace you gave me."
"Fine," Jiang Ye relented, accepting the emerald jade. It felt warm to the touch and carried a faint, fragrant scent—likely Chen Zilu's own.
And that wasn't all.
He sensed a divine light flashing within the jade, making it extraordinarily mystical.
"Senior Sister, why are you suddenly giving me such a valuable gift?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask.
"You gave me a necklace, so I'm giving you this jade," Chen Zilu replied matter-of-factly. "It's called reciprocity, understand?"
"Reciprocity?" Jiang Ye shook his head helplessly.
The necklace he had given Chen Zilu was only worth about a million yuan.
But this Enlightenment Divine Jade was undoubtedly far more valuable.
"Take good care of it," Chen Zilu huffed. "If you lose it, I won't talk to you anymore."
"How could I lose something from Senior Sister?" Jiang Ye grinned. "I promise to wear it for life."
Chen Zilu froze, giving him an unreadable look before saying nothing more.
"How's my teacher treating you?" she asked.
"Pretty well," Jiang Ye answered honestly. "Just a bit... demanding."
"Demanding?" Chen Zilu covered her mouth with a soft laugh. "That's just Old Qiu. You'll get used to it."
"I thought Senior Sister would plead for me," Jiang Ye said.
"Dream on," Chen Zilu snorted. "Now, focus on your cultivation these next few days."
A few days later...
"We're entering the White Dragon's Court to secure a Heaven-Tier Inheritance," Chen Zilu said. "Otherwise, this whole trip would be a waste."
Jiang Ye nodded.
Though Chen Zilu's words seemed a bit extreme, for a genius like her, failing to obtain a Heaven-Tier Inheritance would indeed render the trip pointless. Penglai University already offered Earth-Tier Inheritances. Only Heaven-Tier Inheritances—incredibly rare and exclusive to the ten great schools—held true value.
"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye asked curiously, "what inheritance did you obtain? Was it a High-Grade Heaven-Tier Inheritance?"
"Me?" Chen Zilu shook her head gently, smiling. "I obtained a First-Tier Cosmic Civilization Inheritance."
"A First-Tier Civilization Inheritance?" Jiang Ye exclaimed in surprise.
First-Tier Cosmic Civilizations possessed beings at the Divine Realm. The inheritance Chen Zilu mentioned likely led to that very realm! Without a doubt, such an inheritance would be even more precious than a High-Grade Heaven-Tier Inheritance.
"Senior Sister is truly remarkable," Jiang Ye said sincerely.
According to Teacher Zhu Honglie, only those with Transcendent Aptitude on Blue Star could access Divine Realm Inheritances. Chen Zilu had already surpassed even the most elite Heavenly Prides.
"Impressive, right?"
"Catching up to me won't be easy," Chen Zilu said, her peach-blossom eyes twinkling with a playful glint.
Jiang Ye paused, then smiled.
"I'll catch up to you," he declared earnestly. "I love a good challenge."
Chen Zilu gazed at his serious expression, her rosy lips curving into a slight smile.
"Alright."
"You should head back now," she said, her eyes crinkling with amusement. "I need to return to my cultivation as well."
"In six days, I look forward to hearing good news from you."
Jiang Ye nodded, but his gaze drifted to the magnificent complex of buildings behind her.
"Want to visit my home?" Chen Zilu asked, her smile widening. "You're welcome to, if you're prepared to meet my family elders."
"This place is too far from Teacher Zhu's," Jiang Ye said, shaking his head. "I should get back."
Meet her family?
Too soon.
Jiang Ye knew he wasn't ready. He understood that Chen Zilu came from a transcendent family.
Without absolute power, he still felt insignificant before such a colossal force.
"Senior Sister, I'm heading back now!"
Jiang Ye greeted her and transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, vanishing into the distance.
At the entrance, Chen Zilu withdrew her gaze, raised both hands, and carefully cradled the starlight glowing softly against her chest, examining it closely.
She had no interest in necklaces or auspicious beasts. Yet, for some reason, this necklace, with its auspicious beast motif, perfectly matched her aesthetic.
"It's actually quite beautiful," Chen Zilu murmured, her slender, pale fingers gently tracing the necklace's contours, a faint smile curving her lips.
After a moment, the young woman turned and walked toward her home, her eyes regaining their usual calm.
In her white dress, she once again resembled that aloof, ethereal fairy from a secluded valley, the faint stellar radiance at her chest accentuating her otherworldly beauty.
Life as a visiting student at White Dragon University was relentlessly demanding.
Upon returning home, Jiang Ye had no time to rest before resuming his daily cultivation.
By six in the morning, he was already setting out for the classroom on the 108th floor.
For the next five days, his routine remained unchanged: a relentless cycle of training and combat practice.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was February 12th, the sixth day of his intensive training.
Late that night, around ten o'clock, in the training hall on the 108th floor,
"Jiang Ye, that's enough for today," Qiu Cang said, glancing at Jiang Ye. For once, he wasn't making him train until midnight.
Tomorrow was the day of the White Dragon's Court trials.
At times like these, it was important to relax.
"Yes," Jiang Ye said, sheathing his spear and walking toward Qiu Cang.
"How did you find these six days of intensive training?" Qiu Cang asked, a smile on his face.
"It was excellent," Jiang Ye replied sincerely. "Teacher's teaching methods suit me perfectly."
"Ha ha."
"I never expected you'd actually persevere," Qiu Cang chuckled, stroking his beard. "And not just persevere, but for six whole days!"
"Most importantly, your progress has been truly remarkable."
Qiu Cang's eyes shone with satisfaction.
These six days had completely changed his perception of Jiang Ye.
It wasn't just Jiang Ye's persistence.
More astonishing was the student's rapid rate of improvement.
"Without Teacher's guidance," Jiang Ye said solemnly, "I could never have made such progress."
Over their six days together, Jiang Ye's respect for Teacher Qiu had grown immensely.
Not because Qiu Cang was particularly strict, but because his teaching methods had genuinely elevated Jiang Ye's skills to a new level.
Jiang Ye glanced at his status panel:
[Nine Luminaries Star-Treading: Small Success (99%)]
[Great Sun Spear Technique: Major Success (29%)]
[Heavenly Tribulation Fist: Small Success (99%)]
In just six days, Jiang Ye had made remarkable progress, significantly improving one earth-rank Cosmic Secret Art and two high-grade profound-tier art techniques.
Six days!
Such rapid advancement was truly extraordinary.
The Nine Luminaries Star-Treading and Heavenly Tribulation Fist are just one step away from Major Success, Jiang Ye thought to himself. The Great Sun Spear Technique is also only 1% away from mastering its fourth ultimate move—Sea-Burning.
All three techniques have hit major bottlenecks.
Qiu Cang's greatest value to Jiang Ye lay in his ability to help him bypass minor bottlenecks effortlessly. But major bottlenecks? Even Qiu Cang had limited solutions.
Breaking through them would depend entirely on Jiang Ye's own efforts.
Even if a master like Chen Zilu were willing to patiently guide him through another breakthrough, Jiang Ye might still fail to grasp that elusive moment of insight.
Regardless, Jiang Ye had undergone a complete transformation in just six days.
"Tomorrow, you'll enter the White Dragon's Court," Qiu Cang said. "Perform well. I expect you to secure at least a High-Grade Earth-Rank Inheritance."
"I won't disappoint you, Teacher," Jiang Ye replied solemnly.
"Good." Qiu Cang nodded and turned to Tang Wuji, who stood nearby. "Tang Wuji, you'll also enter the White Dragon's Court tomorrow."
"If your inheritance is inferior to Jiang Ye's, I'll arrange sparring sessions between you and Shi Ting for the entire next semester."
Tang Wuji's expression twisted violently.
He instinctively glanced at Shi Ting, the refined young woman standing nearby.
Shi Ting was a peak second breakthrough cultivator, far surpassing Tang Wuji in strength.
If he sparred with her, he would undoubtedly suffer a humiliating defeat.
"I will definitely obtain the Heaven-Tier Inheritance!" Tang Wuji roared, clenching his fists.
Jiang Ye remained silent.
Teacher Qiu really doesn't miss a chance to provoke me, even on the last day!
Still...
Heaven-Tier Inheritance? Jiang Ye thought to himself. I will definitely claim it.
In fact, he harbored an even greater ambition: to obtain an inheritance of an even higher rank!
Time flowed relentlessly.
Even after returning home, Jiang Ye remained diligent in his cultivation.
At precisely 1:00 AM, he entered the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder, enduring the tempering of his Martial Dao Will in the massage room.
The night passed swiftly.
February 13th marked the final day of Jiang Ye's advanced studies at White Dragon University.
He set out early, his gaze fixed on the towering, dragon-head-shaped structure at the heart of the campus.
"White Dragon's Court," Jiang Ye murmured, his form transforming into a streak of Flowing Light as he shot toward it.
