Chapter 814: [(625)] Are you looking for trouble, kid? (Asking for monthly votes and subscriptions) Chapter 814: [(625)] Are you looking for trouble, kid? (Asking for monthly votes and subscriptions) A week flew by, and whether it was the elite class or the regular class, everyone’s courses were the same. The only difference was that each person in the elite class could obtain two Small Yuandans and a piece of Calming Incense every day.
With Pei Jinye’s consumption rate, he needed at least twenty Small Yuandans a day, and during critical moments of cultivation, he tossed in Small Yuandans into his mouth as if they were free.
In just seven days, his assets had already decreased by one-third, and that was just the first week.
There were still seven weeks to go.
In two months’ time, he could only freeload 120 Small Yuandans, which was only enough for three to four days, not even three days to be exact.
This made Pei Jinye very reflective, as cultivation was truly a costly and life-draining endeavor.
If it were not for the resources from the Jiang family supporting him,
his cultivation speed might not even match Ji Wutian’s.
“Buzz, buzz.”
His phone vibrated.
Ji Yuyan sent a message.
[Meet outside the campus in ten minutes, don’t forget.]
After replying to Ji Yuyan,
Pei Jinye lay down on his bed.
He had discovered that at Dragon City Martial Arts University, it was easy to spot a certain kind of person… relaxed in front of others, but a hard worker behind the scenes… vocally complaining about the difficulty of cultivation, then secretly concentrating as soon as they got a chance.
Immersed in games right in front of you, and the moment you fell asleep, they would start cultivating like mad.
Indeed, Pei Jinye was embodying this very persona.
If you can’t beat them, join them. There’s nothing wrong with that.
It also reduced the attention he drew from others.
After all, his true place of cultivation was already beyond these classmates’ reach.
In reality, Pei Jinye was already an Extraordinary Sixth Rank, but he could effortlessly defeat an Extraordinary Seventh Rank and even compete against a typical Extraordinary Eighth Rank.
With such a level of combat power within the academy, even Ji Wutian and Meng Jiao were mere students in his presence.
However, indisputably,
after arriving at Dragon City Martial Arts University, Pei Jinye truly felt he had gained a lot.
This was beyond any doubt.
Starting in Da Peng City, his initial exposure to the cultivation methods began with the Bronze Association.
How big was the Bronze Association really…
It was only after Pei Jinye arrived at Dragon City Martial Arts University that he realized… even if Chang Youlong were still alive, he wouldn’t be eligible to start a club here.
Dragon City Martial Arts University… was just that formidable.
Pei Jinye sighed softly.
If he couldn’t Devour others’ memories and utilize those memories to obtain cultivation methods to stay universally ahead,
even with the addition of more Attribute Light Groups, he wouldn’t have grown to his current level.
Chang Youlong once despised the injustice in society, the unfairness being that few had control over cultivation resources.
This point, Pei Jinye profoundly experienced after arriving at Dragon City Martial Arts University.
The students here are exposed to substantially more than those in the outside world.
Even the strongest institutions in Central State could not compare to Dragon City Martial Arts University.
Now,
Pei Jinye understood what the number one institution in the Federation meant.
Over these seven days, he maintained a “standard performance” in his Basic Breathing Method training, appearing to possess average aptitude.
He deliberately showed a few flaws to let the old master correct them.
As for weaponry, Lin Xiuxian’s intention was… no need to specialize, but daggers were essential.
The capability for close combat self-defense must be mastered.
The same principle as the [Basic Breathing Method].
Pei Jinye’s performance was likewise standard.
…
Ten minutes later.
At the campus gate.
Ji Yuyan arrived early, Murong Xiyue was standing under the shade of a tree, also nodding at Pei Jinye.
“How is it? Can you now enter concentration within three minutes with your [Basic Breathing Method]?” Ji Yuyan leaned in close to Pei Jinye, curiously asking to scout the information.
Both she and Murong Xiyue were not the type to hide things.
Pei Jinye had a deep understanding of this.
Especially during gatherings, the two of them were not worried about the consumption of Calming Incense, generously sharing it for everyone to cultivate together.
“It’s just an external matter, no big deal,” said Ji Yuyan carelessly, completely unconcerned.
She really thought Pei Jinye might have some tricky issues with his cultivation and even eagerly offered to help, sharing some insights.
As time passed,
their relationship grew closer.
“Barely, what about you?” Pei Jinye said modestly.
“I’m also just scraping by. Let’s push harder in the upcoming time. In two months, for the assessment, three minutes to enter concentration is enough to pass, but to keep the elite class title, shouldn’t it be at least two minutes?” Ji Yuyan pouted as she spoke.
Murong Xiyue then added, “Meng Jiao and Pang Fei have already managed to enter concentration within two minutes.”
“Oh, that’s really frustrating,” Ji Yuyan said with a hand on her hip, slightly annoyed.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but feel both amused and helpless, “What’s there to be upset about? You can do it too.”
“That’s true,” Ji Yuyan said, not at all embarrassed.
Murong Xiyue laughed gently aside.
Pei Jinye shook his head, “What about Ji Wutian? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
Ji Yuyan frowned as well, “This guy, he promised three o’clock in the afternoon and he’s late again!!!”
At that moment,
Murong Xiyue took out her phone, indicating, “Just now, he sent me a message saying he suddenly had a life-critical matter to handle and won’t be joining our team.”
“Why didn’t he send the message to me? He definitely knows that if he did, I would directly rush to his dorm and beat him up!” Ji Yuyan gritted her teeth.
Murong Xiyue gave a wry smile, “So, it’s just the three of us then?”
“Or should I ask Liu Limin and the others? Aren’t you guys going to the outskirts of Snow Dragon Mountain to complete the bounty mission this time? Do you want two more hands?” Pei Jinye asked.
This bounty task was just a piece of cake.
There weren’t many academic credits to begin with.
It was like a spring outing.
“I have no problem,” Murong Xiyue said first.
Ji Yuyan also shrugged, “I don’t mind, so let’s call them over.”
Pei Jinye nodded and sent a message to Liu Limin.
Less than two minutes.
Liu Limin quickly came running with Cao Yingjun, happily looking at Pei Jinye and the other two, “Are you guys starting to take orders already? That’s brave. I wouldn’t dare to go if you hadn’t called me.”
“What’s there to be afraid of, with Sister Yan around, one can count as two,” Ji Yuyan said grandly, a bit over the top.
Pei Jinye found it amusing.
Liu Limin admiringly assumed the role of a lackey.
This made both Pei Jinye and Cao Yingjun feel that he lacked “backbone.”
Liu Limin wasn’t ashamed but proud instead, “You don’t understand, not just anyone can cling onto Sister Yan’s coattails. With Sister Yan backing us, we guys from Three Nine Dragon City will walk sideways from now on.”
Cao Yingjun turned around, crossed his arms, and snorted, “Idiot.”
Pei Jinye gave a thumbs up, at a loss for words.
“Let’s set off then, I’ve chartered a bus,” Ji Yuyan patted the packages behind her.
Pei Jinye looked puzzled, “What are all these?”
Ji Yuyan smiled at him, “All good stuff.”
But she didn’t elaborate.
The five of them waited for a while.
A bus appeared at the school gate.
The driver hurried off the bus, “Boss, please come inside.”
Ji Yuyan waved to the three including Pei Jinye, “Let’s go, don’t just stand there dazed.”
“Really a rich lady,” Pei Jinye remarked.
Liu Limin agreed beside him, “Sister Yan is not just any rich lady.”
Cao Yingjun sighed lightly, “I’m not afraid of Ji Yuyan, but I’m a bit scared of Murong Xiyue… Honestly, I’m thinking about dropping out now.”
“Drop out my ass,” Liu Limin pulled him back, “You’re only afraid because you’re thinking dirty, what’s there to be afraid of if you’re upright?”
“Damn it, I wasn’t thinking anything of that sort,” Cao Yingjun yelled, defending himself.
He truly dared not harbor any inappropriate thoughts.
But Liu Limin dragged him into the bus.
Once on the bus.
Ji Yuyan and Murong Xiyue sat together.
Pei Jinye sat by himself.
Because Liu Limin was pulling Cao Yingjun around, causing a ruckus.
“I brought some snacks for you. It will take at least forty minutes to Snow Dragon Mountain if there’s no traffic. Take a good rest,” Ji Yuyan opened her pack and distributed snacks to everyone.
Pei Jinye, “…”
He looked speechless, “Is this the good stuff you spoke of?”
Ji Yuyan glared at him.
Pei Jinye quickly changed his tune, “I admit it’s good stuff.”
Ji Yuyan smiled happily again.
After a while, when she had finished the snacks in her hand, she finally said, “The beast we must deal with this time is a small fierce creature called an Earth Inbeing. After killing it, we’ll need to dissect it. Who wants to do it?”
“I’ll do it,” Pei Jinye volunteered.
After all, Ji Yuyan had already given him the look.
“Good, then Classmate Xiao Pei is in charge of the dissection. This time, the academic credits are just enough for five points, we’ll split it equally,” Ji Yuyan took on the role of a leader quite convincingly.
As she talked, she suddenly realized, “By the way, what are your extraordinary abilities? We should have a plan when we take action, don’t let the squishy ones stand in front at the front and attract fire. I’ll go first, I’m a ranged attacker, the kind that goes ‘biubiubiu’ with elemental arrows.”
Murong Xiyue raised her hand, “My ability is similar to an assassin.”
“Assassin?” Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun found it hard to believe.
Murong Xiyue was usually very quiet.
It was hard to associate her with the kind of assassin whose movements were elusive and who struck like thunder.
Ji Yuyan hugged Murong Xiyue and looked at Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun, “You two really shouldn’t doubt it. If you really fought my darling Xiyue, even the two of you together wouldn’t be enough for her to beat.”
Liu Limin was somewhat skeptical.
However, Cao Yingjun seemed to think of something, showing some hesitation, “It’s said that Murong Family’s secret technique is an Assassination Technique. It seems Miss Xiyue has already mastered this secret technique.”
Murong Xiyue looked at him, her eyes still composed, “You know?”
Cao Yingjun nodded, “I’ve heard a bit.”
Having said that, he became even more wary of Murong Xiyue.
According to him, Murong Family’s assassination technique was extremely powerful.
Powerful enough to make even an Extraordinary Ninth Rank wary.
There had once been a member of the Murong Family who, using Extraordinary Seventh Rank cultivation, successfully soloed an Extraordinary Ninth Rank using this technique.
Liu Limin said, “I’m a tank, leave the attraction of firepower to me.”
Pei Jinye also said, “I’ll help you attract the firepower.”
Cao Yingjun scratched his head, “I’m just an Artifact Refiner, honestly, I don’t know what I can do to help you.”
“Artifact Refiner? Damn, bro, can you refine gear for me?” Liu Limin quickly asked.
“Simple ones are no problem,” Cao Yingjun said somewhat awkwardly, “I’m not very specialized yet.”
“No problem, take it slow. But you, an Artifact Refiner, didn’t join the Heavy Equipment Association?” Liu Limin asked curiously.
Cao Yingjun looked strange, “Don’t you know? The Heavy Equipment Association was wiped out by the Old Gods Association.”

“Ahh…” Liu Limin was stunned, murmuring to himself, “The Old Gods Association is so domineering?”
“It’s more than domineering,” Cao Yingjun said with a bitter smile. “Back then when the Old Gods Association imposed a blockade on the Heavy Equipment Association throughout the Five Continents, if I had joined the Heavy Equipment Association a bit faster, I probably would be in another world now.”
“…”
Pei Jinye silently looked at him.
So, it was you, kid, who wanted to join the Heavy Equipment Association, right?
