Chapter 790: [(601)] Turns out the big shot hiding in Dragon City is an old friend of mine? (Asking for monthly votes and subscriptions)_1 Chapter 790: [(601)] Turns out the big shot hiding in Dragon City is an old friend of mine? (Asking for monthly votes and subscriptions)_1 After leaving the assessment area, there was a drink vending machine in the corridor downstairs of Jingzhe Building.


    Ji Wutian looked at Pei Jinye, “Want something to drink? It’s on me.”


    He glanced over the inventory.


    “Small Yuandan or coffee?”


    “Small Yuandan, thank you.” Pei Jinye accepted since he saw the sincere offer.


    Though a hundred yuan a bottle was quite expensive, such a sum was negligible for them at the moment.


    Each took a bottle.


    Pei Jinye took a sip.


    Attribute Points increased by about 0.5, which was much worse compared to the effect of the Mini Elemental Pills.


    But it was undeniable that such a drink was something he had never enjoyed back in Central State.


    The disparity between continents was apparent.


    “Pei Jinye.”


    Just then, a call came from behind.


    Ji Wutian turned his head and laughed disdainfully.


    Only then did Pei Jinye slowly turn to look.


    The caller was Lin Shenying with a patch on his face and a new jacket on his body.


    “What’s the matter?” Pei Jinye didn’t intend to keep strangers out; after all, he wasn’t the one who had taken a beating earlier.


    Lin Shenying stepped forward, snorted coldly at Ji Wutian, and then looked at Pei Jinye with a gruff tone, “I… umm… congratulations on getting the first place.”


    “I’m telling you, Lin Shenying, haven’t you had someone cast a spirit possession on you? Just a moment ago you were ready to fight us to death, and now you suddenly start saying such cheesy things… truly freaking disgusting, blegh!”


    The veins on Lin Shenying’s neck bulged, and he really wanted to strike this guy dead, but remembering his family’s instructions, he forcefully held back.


    Ignoring Ji Wutian, he spoke seriously to Pei Jinye, “The five hundred Mini Elemental Pills you have… could you let me have them? I won’t hide it from you, they are very important to me.”


    “Whoa whoa whoa, important to you?” Ji Wutian suddenly said sarcastically, “Lin Shenying, do you even listen to yourself?”


    Lin Shenying glared over venomously.


    Ji Wutian was not afraid and scoffed, “What’s the matter? Everyone knows how important those Mini Elemental Pills are, are you the only one who needs them? If you’re so incredible, why don’t you have your master directly monopolize them?”


    “Ji Wutian, don’t go too far!” Lin Shenying clenched his fists and spoke fiercely.


    Ji Wutian didn’t care at all, looking at Pei Jinye, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to relax. There’s a sanatorium for recuperating the body right by the entrance; you haven’t been there, have you?”


    “No, I haven’t had the chance to go out since I started school,” Pei Jinye shook his head.


    The two walked and talked, as if ignoring Lin Shenying.


    “Then I’ll definitely take you there. That sanatorium is great, it’s just that there aren’t many services, and without a referral, they won’t even offer them to you…” Ji Wutian said.


    All of a sudden.


    Lin Shenying’s voice came from behind the duo: “Pei Jinye, this is Dragon City, not Da Peng City, and though we compete, it’s not a fight to the death. Today, if you let me have the Mini Elemental Pills and form a good connection, I Lin Shenying will not let you suffer a loss. Especially here at Dragon City martial arts university, it’s much more advantageous for you to be friends with me than with Ji Wutian.”


    “Sorry, I didn’t quite understand your meaning of ‘let me have them?’ Are we talking trade or are you aiming for a handout?” Pei Jinye looked back.


    Lin Shenying’s eyes momentarily showed a hint of awkwardness, and he spoke earnestly, “I’m a bit tight on funds right now, but rest assured, at the very least, you’ve earned my friendship.”


    No sooner had he finished than Ji Wutian shouted, “Let’s go, Pei Jinye, why bother with this idiot? Friendship, ha! How useful is Lin Shenying’s friendship? Truly haven’t seen anything like it. Even a toad proclaims itself a true Buddha, got no shame at all.”


    Pei Jinye looked at Lin Shenying, “As you can see, I’m not betting on the stars. If you want it, trade something of equal value, I’ll give you one day to prepare.”


    Lin Shenying’s face twitched.


    This time he said nothing more and just watched as Pei Jinye and Ji Wutian left.


    Once the two had disappeared.


    He clenched his fists tightly.


    “Damn it!”


    He took out his phone from his bag and quickly dialed a number.


    “I’ve failed.”


    The person on the other end asked who got first place.


    Lin Shenying’s expression turned a bit sheepish.


    While he was silent.


    The person mentioned Ji Wutian’s name but seemed surprised, “You lost to him? Well, two hundred Mini Elemental Pills is just about passable; after all, Ji Wutian is one of the heirs to the Ji Family.”


    “I got third…” As Lin Shenying blurted out these words, his face turned red as if he were a child who had done something wrong.


    Ashamed, he lowered his head.


    The other side fell into a longer silence.


    “So you lost to whom?”


    “Ji Wutian and Pei Jinye.”


    The person on the other end paused before asking,


    “Who is Pei Jinye?”


    This time, Lin Shenying took even longer to respond.


    …


    Two hours later.


    The assessment ended.


    The entire track echoed with Lin Xiuxian’s curses, as more than a dozen freshmen hung their heads in shame, their faces red with embarrassment.


    Nobody dared to speak out of turn.


    Out of 198 students, only these dozen or so hadn’t completed the entire course… if word were to get out, they’d be a laughingstock.


    Extraordinary Third Rank figures in a place like Da Peng City would have been personages of some significance.


    But now, not even able to pass an assessment showed their lack of physical strength, and such Extraordinary Third Rank individuals would be a liability in higher-level combat; once they got close, their end would merely be to be stripped of their gear.


    Lin Xiuxian ranted for half an hour, those students who failed the assessment wished they could find a hole to crawl into.


    “Meeting at Room 301, Jingzhe Building at six-thirty PM! Dismissed!”


    After Lin Xiuxian left with the middle-aged man.


    The surroundings had already returned to normal.


    Only then did everyone realize that the fifty-kilometer track was actually located outside the Jingzhe Building.


    “What kind of method is this?”


    The students from other places looked at this scene with amazement.


    “Sealing Object[Pioneering]. We were all under the control of the Sealing Object just now. I’ve heard that the coverage of [Pioneering] exceeds three hundred kilometers.”


    “[Pioneering]? The seventh-ranked [Pioneering] on the Heavenly Craftsmen List? To actually have the chance to witness it with my own eyes.”


    “No wonder Dragon City Martial Arts University is the First Academy of the Federation…”


    Whispers of private conversations began to stir.


    Ji Yuyan glanced around and Murong Xiyue curiously asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “I thought I saw Pei Jinye with my brother just now, but where did he go?” Ji Yuyan said curiously.


    “He must have left, right?” Murong Xiyue said and, as if thinking of something, she leaned in with surprise and asked, “Which region is that guy from? He’s so formidable, even able to contest with your brother for first place.”


    Ji Yuyan paused.


    She hadn’t expected that either.


    But she was somewhat skeptical.


    That strong?


    Is that reasonable?


    On the other side.


    Zhong Taishu saw that Situ Liyue was silent, scratched his head, and stood to the side somewhat at a loss.


    After a while.


    Situ Liyue finally spoke in a soft voice, “The information earlier showed that Pei Jinye had trained in Body Techniques. I thought it was just casual training, but who knew he was so strong?”


    “He is very strong.”


    Zhong Taishu agreed deeply.


    He had witnessed Pei Jinye passing by with his own eyes, that explosive power made him envious.


    “The Cultivation Technique he’s trained in must be very advanced, otherwise he couldn’t possibly be so powerful.”


    “Advanced Cultivation Technique?” Situ Liyue was taken aback, then thought of someone, and said thoughtfully, “It seems the rumors are true. That senior really has taken Pei Jinye as his Closed-door Disciple.”


    “Definitely, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible for him to train so quickly. When he ran past, that kind of explosive force… I reckon he has already entered the Middle Three Realm. I’m also in the Middle Three Realm. In theory, we should be about the same, but his mastery over his body’s musculature is much stronger than mine, so the speed he can exhibit is also much faster.”


    After hearing this, Situ Liyue looked over and said, “You’re pretty good yourself.”


    Zhong Taishu scratched his head, “Just fourth place, almost there.”


    Situ Liyue suddenly looked at the figure opposite and said, “Have you fought with that person over there?”


    Zhong Taishu looked over.


    Pang Fei was glaring at him fiercely.


    Zhong Taishu showed no reaction and said to Situ Liyue, “He and the woman next to him joined forces to deal with me. It’s a pity, otherwise, I might have had a chance to compete for the top three.”


    Situ Liyue did not doubt his strength but, seeing Pang Fei full of resentment, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, “He seems troublesome.”


    “How about we beat him up later?” Zhong Taishu gestured.


    As a result, as if Pang Fei heard something, he turned his head and left.


    Situ Liyue merely swept a glance and didn’t take it to heart, looking at Zhong Taishu, “Go back and rest well, tomorrow is the second round.”


    “Should I go along with Pei Jinye?” Zhong Taishu asked uncertainly.


    “Why follow him?” Situ Liyue looked over in surprise, “Have you grown attached to him? The higher-ups said not to get involved, just focus on the assessments for now. Our ultimate goal is to prepare for the two years of training; it’s not worth it to spend our time on this.”


    “That’s true,” Zhong Taishu nodded.


    …


    Inside dorm 317.


    Cao Yingjun and Liu Limin were sitting together.


    Perhaps because of the assessment, Cao Yingjun’s attitude towards Liu Limin had changed quite a bit, and he handed over some fruit, “Thanks for this morning.”


    “No need to be polite.” Liu Limin looked towards Pei Jinye’s bed, “He hasn’t come back yet?”


    Cao Yingjun also looked in that direction, his gaze filled with envy, “I heard from people in our class that he was first.”


    “Amazing,” Liu Limin exclaimed with admiration, “Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”


    Cao Yingjun: “…”


    …


    Just as these two brothers were talking, Pei Jinye and Ji Wutian had just finished their recuperation.


    “How are you feeling, brother?” Ji Wutian, dressed in fluffy pajamas, sat cross-legged on the bed eating fruit, with two beautiful girls giving him a massage behind him.


    He truly knew how to enjoy life.


    “You sure know how to find a place,” Pei Jinye remarked as his Three Attribute Values had unknowingly recovered quite a bit.


    He wondered who the owner behind this recuperation clinic was.


    Pei Jinye looked around.


    All these young and beautiful girls turned out to be normal people, but in the process of massaging and recuperating, they could actually increase his Three Attribute Values.

    He looked towards Ji Wutian.


    Ji Wutian seemed to understand what was on his mind and laughed, “The owner of the September Palace is so mysterious that even I don’t know who it is. Anyway, here in Dragon City, no one dares to provoke them. We’re here to enjoy, don’t think too much.”


    Pei Jinye laughed.


    But in his heart, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.


    Ten minutes later, after leaving the recuperation clinic, he looked back and swept his gaze towards the electronic eye.
