Chapter 833: [(643)] Seventy Thousand Attributes, Breakthrough! (Seeking Monthly Votes and Subscriptions) Chapter 833: [(643)] Seventy Thousand Attributes, Breakthrough! (Seeking Monthly Votes and Subscriptions) (The last chapter was unlocked)


    …


    The incident in Baijing City had already been cast out of Pei Jinye’s mind.


    He had used the methods of the Judgement Place to handle the aftermath, eventually leading to internal review within the Judgement Place itself.


    This tactic had never failed him.


    Only the insiders at the Judgement Place would worry.


    But all this didn’t concern him anymore.


    During the day, he attended classes, occasionally visiting Xu Wanxiao’s villa for snacks, but most of the time, Pei Jinye was alone in his rented house, stacking up massive martial arts resources to replenish himself.


    That morning.


    When Pei Jinye arrived at the martial arts practice field, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.


    Even the usually talkative Liu Limin was unusually silent.


    Soon.


    The ancient master arrived, glanced at everyone, didn’t say anything, and continued teaching the Long Arm Fist Style.


    An hour later, during the break.


    Liu Limin couldn’t help but express his feelings to Pei Jinye beside him, “A group of people have left the ordinary class.”


    “Left?” Pei Jinye seemed somewhat surprised.


    “They quit, said they were dropping out.” Liu Limin spoke in a low voice, “They came so far only to give up… sigh.”


    On hearing this, a few people around were stunned, “Why did they give up?”


    “The pressure was too great, and they couldn’t keep up financially…” Liu Limin sighed; there were friends he knew among them who had also dropped out.


    Upon hearing this, people were initially surprised, but soon fell silent.


    The higher you go, the more money you need.


    Their talents were merely decent, which was why they made it into the research institute… but they couldn’t compete with wealthy families like Ji Wutian’s.


    Cultivation Room rent alone was 100,000 a month, and if they didn’t go, others would… gradually, you would be surpassed.


    The elite class was better in that resources were provided daily.


    It wasn’t that coming to university meant just burning money… you could also avoid it.


    Apart from some special Extraordinary Abilities that required external cultivation, the real money-burner was actually Body Technique cultivation.


    You could still advance to High Rank without continuing Physical Body cultivation, but who would be satisfied with that?


    Insufficient body strength meant no chance at attaining Extraordinary Seventh Rank.


    Who didn’t want to advance?


    Since they had chosen Dragon City martial arts university and accepted the best training here, no one wanted to fall behind others.


    If it weren’t for facing extreme difficulties, no one would choose to quit.


    “Doesn’t the school offer any financial aid?” Cao Yingjun asked, his eyebrows furrowed, “I thought there was aid available.”


    Liu Limin shook his head, “Academy loans plus aid only provides a chance to reach Fifth Rank; what if there’s no chance? Then you’re left with a lifetime of loans.”


    “Different people have different perspectives,” some sighed sympathetically, others were indifferent.


    “The path of the strong is not about foolishly waiting for opportunities, but about learning to create them… don’t you know how to earn money yourself? If you don’t have the talent, don’t push it. You don’t even have the psychological endurance, yet you’re talking about becoming strong…” Dong Chengshuang shook his head beside them, “Dropping out isn’t a bad thing.”


    “That’s a bit radical, brother.”


    “Radical my ass, I think what he’s saying makes sense, no point handling tasks beyond one’s ability.”


    The ancient master intervened, putting an end to everyone’s debate.


    The cultivation continued.


    But it was undeniable.


    The departure of the ordinary class students cast a shadow over many minds.


    Xu Wanxiao’s motivation to practice boxing was even stronger.


    That evening.


    Right after Pei Jinye and Xu Wanxiao reached their residence, she silently rolled up her sleeves and began practicing boxing.


    Half an hour later.


    Finally exhausted, she leaned against a wooden post, taking deep breaths.


    “Did you know about their departure?”


    Pei Jinye slowly lifted his head to look, “You’re nervous.”


    “I…” Xu Wanxiao felt complex emotions, “It’s hard to describe, today during class everyone was very quiet, no one knows if the next one to leave will be ourselves.”


    Pei Jinye looked at her.


    Xu Wanxiao shook her head, “If our goal is to forever chase after you, that’s really sad.”


    Pei Jinye understood her meaning, yet responded indifferently, “Setting up an imaginary enemy is a good method, but getting too caught up in it isn’t good.”


    Xu Wanxiao paused, not understanding, looking back at him.


    Pei Jinye slowly said, “First, you have to admit that there indeed are huge gaps between people. Even being in the elite class, I still lag behind some geniuses. Is it fun to always compete with them? You’re disciplined enough, just being true to yourself is enough. Why compare at all, why not compare directly with someone at Ninth Rank?”


    Xu Wanxiao was speechless.


    After a moment of silence.


    Suddenly lifting her head, “I always thought you were just a bit more mature than me by age, I didn’t expect you to be this mature.”


    Pei Jinye looked at her, confused.


    Standing up, he said, “Get up when you’ve rested enough, I have to leave in ten minutes.”


    Xu Wanxiao quickly stood up.


    After the guidance.


    She looked at Pei Jinye, “Are you going to see Ji Yuyan?”


    Pei Jinye looked back, “What do you want to say?”


    The words almost reached her mouth, but Xu Wanxiao swallowed them again, shaking her head quickly, “I’ve got nothing to say, just some gossip, I’ll have the driver take you.”


    “Okay.”


    Pei Jinye didn’t refuse.


    …


    After getting off the car.


    The driver handed over a wooden box, “Mr. Pei, this is per my miss’s instructions.”


    Pei Jinye took it curiously, opening the wooden box, which was wrapped in a layer of silk.


    After unwrapping three layers of silk cloth, inside was a packet of medicine, with a note attached: [Blood Refining, to be brewed and taken internally, once in the morning and evening]


    The driver spoke politely, “This is a recipe from our family, this portion can last for three days, Mr. Pei can try the effects. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”


    “Thank you.”


    “Mr. Pei, you are too courteous. My miss has changed a lot during this period, thanks to your guidance.”


    The driver respectfully departed.


    Pei Jinye returned to his residence.


    Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun seemed to have gone for training, and hadn’t returned yet.


    Pei Jinye sat alone in front of his desk.


    He took out the Blood Refining powder and soaked it in water.


    For him, heating the water to a boil was extremely simple.


    “Gurgle…”


    The sound of the boiling medicine began to resonate, interrupting Pei Jinye’s thoughts.


    He smelled the aromatic fragrance of the medicine.


    No poison.


    Even if it were poisoned, he wouldn’t be afraid.


    But the Xu Family had no need to offend him, and for now, everyone got along harmoniously.


    He drank it in one gulp.


    The three attribute values on his attribute panel started to fluctuate.


    [+2+3+2+4…]


    Pei Jinye didn’t complain.


    Even the smallest mosquito is still flesh.


    The three attribute values cumulatively increased by 60 points.


    In front of his massive attribute values, these 60 points were completely negligible.


    However, Pei Jinye always welcomed whatever came.


    The next morning.


    Early training in class.


    Xu Wanxiao looked at Pei Jinye, “Did you use it?”


    Pei Jinye nodded: “I did, thanks.”


    A smile appeared on Xu Wanxiao’s face: “No problem, the recipe was prepared by my grandma.”


    “Your grandma?” Pei Jinye was taken aback.


    Xu Wanxiao nodded: “Back in Central State, she was one of the top pharmacists. I’ll ask my family to send more soon, but we can’t send much, as every medicine has its side effects.”


    Pei Jinye nodded as well but didn’t say much.


    “When did you two get so close?” Ji Yuyan joked after Xu Wanxiao had left.


    Pei Jinye glanced at her: “Learned the Long Arm Fist Style and started gossiping?”


    “Hmph, don’t underestimate me.”


    Ji Yuyan pouted.


    A week passed in the blink of an eye.


    Pei Jinye had accumulated two thousand attribute points, which was much faster than his laborious training.


    The average of the three-star attribute values had now broken through seventy thousand!


    Three students from the regular classes had requested to drop out due to unable to handle the pressure.


    Many students felt the pressure.


    Even several students from the elite class had been called into Lin Xiuxian’s office.


    One morning.


    At the foot of Snow Dragon Mountain.


    Lin Xiuxian, with an expressionless face, looked at the hundred or so students: “You’ve been here at the institute for a month now, and the training you’ve received is substantial. If you don’t give up on yourselves, you will definitely gain something… From today, everyone must be here at 4:30 AM to start running, and return to the school no later than 6:30 AM. If you have any questions, ask now.”


    The crowd below wailed.


    Lin Xiuxian scoffed: “Everyone should be able to Enter Concentration with the Basic Breathing Method by now. Since you can Enter Concentration, it’s time to push further. Long-distance running won’t harm you. I’ll give you thirty seconds to whine, and after thirty seconds, we start running. Pei Jinye, you were the best at long-distance running before, so you’ll lead the team and take them around the perimeter of Snow Dragon Mountain.”


    “Yes.”


    Pei Jinye became the team leader, evoking envy in Ji Wutian and Liu Limin.


    Such a high-profile good opportunity had not fallen to them.


    However, Pei Jinye didn’t feel this was a good thing.


    The team began the long run.


    Ji Wutian and Liu Limin followed behind him, Pei Jinye intentionally controlled the pace.


    But someone was not happy about it.


    A figure sped up to Pei Jinye’s side, taunting in a voice that only the two of them could hear:


    “Pei Jinye, can you handle this or not? Why are you running so slow?”


    Pei Jinye didn’t look at him, completely ignoring the provocation.


    Pang Fei felt a self-inflicted embarrassment and scoffed.


    “Pang, don’t mess up the formation!” Liu Limin rebuked.


    Pang Fei ignored him.


    Liu Limin frowned and looked over.


    The troop of over a hundred ran around the perimeter of Snow Dragon Mountain, and at this early hour, hardly anyone else was around; Lin Xiuxian might have subtly intervened to clear the area of nuisances.


    The hour-plus long run ended.


    From this day, Lin Xiuxian’s “oppression” over the students intensified.


    Even Liu Limin complained endlessly.


    “Old Lin is really ruthless this time.”


    Cao Yingjun lay on the bed, out of breath as well: “How else would they call him Great Emperor? Just be content that we, the elite class, still get some resources. Those from the regular class have to fend for themselves.”


    Liu Limin murmured softly: “I feel like Old Lin’s move is to motivate those regular class students. There’s a test in a few more days, and the competition isn’t small. Quite a few from the regular class have already caught up.”


    Cao Yingjun’s expression grew more grave.


    …


    Dusk fell.


    Xu Wanxiao stood in front of a wooden post, poised.


    She then swung her right arm and struck the post from the side. Her footwork was agile as she struck a series of punches around the post in one second.


    After exhaling deeply, she had already thrown seventeen punches and started to slow down, her breathing a bit rapid.


    She looked back.


    Her eyes were vibrant.


    “How is it?”


    “Much better than initially, clearly you’ve worked hard during this period,” Pei Jinye nodded.


    Xu Wanxiao’s face could hardly hide her smile, but she still asked uncertainly: “Do you think I have a chance to get into the elite class this time?”


    “Better than before,” Pei Jinye slowly said.

    Xu Wanxiao’s smile gradually faded, and she became solemn: “So, there’s still some risk.”


    She turned her body, murmuring to herself.


    “I need to increase the dosage.”


    Then, looking at Pei Jinye, she earnestly said: “Please train me rigorously.”


    “…”
