In the principal’s office, dozens of teenagers and girls were waiting, filling up the spacious principal’s office.
As Li Lei and the others arrived, the principal’s office became even more crowded.
Zhou Qing said, “Principal, all the students in stage 9 of the Body-tempering tier are here, a total of 27.”
Principal Guo Xu nodded.
A smile appeared on his wrinkled face as he looked at the young man and woman across from him.
They were the disciples of the Riyueming Sect who had briefly interacted with Xu Lingjun before.
A slightly smug look appeared on Guo Xu’s face as he said, “Miss Ji, Mr. Zhang, these are the most outstanding students of Qingyang High School. They haven’t taken the Longmen examination yet, but all of them have already reached stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier and are only one step away from the Qi-gathering Tier. I wonder if they are worthy of your attention?”
“Not bad,” Zhang Ziqian casually said this, but the look of disapproval on his face made it apparent that he didn’t mean what he said.
Guo Xu wasn’t angry either. Although these two were only a few years older than the students, they had already successfully reached the Qi-gathering Tier and were even very close to the True-transformation Tier.
Having such cultivation at such ages, they were was indeed people these students couldn’t compare to.
Ji Roufeng’s gaze swept over these twenty students, but she could not find the person she had expected to see.
She asked hesitantly, “Is there a person missing?”
Zhou Qing asked, “Who?”
“I don’t know what his name is either,” Ji Roufeng’s pretty face blushed slightly as she said softly, “But this morning, I accidentally bumped into him, and he directly overpowered me. Umm… I’m already at the beginner phase of the True-transformation Tier. If he can overpower me, his aptitude must be extraordinary. Why am I not seeing him here?”
Guo Xu, “…”
This girl’s expression was a little familiar.
She looked just like when his son mentioned his f*cking friend.
But over… overpowered…
It can’t be that the kid molested this sect girl, right?
Thinking about this, Guo Xu chuckled and said, “Twenty-seven people. I’m sure that all the people at stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier and above are here. Not a single one is missing. You may think it’s laughable, but I paid a great price to get five outer sect disciple spots in the Riyueming Sect. Naturally, I have to choose the most outstanding students to supply to the sect. If there are really outstanding students, I won’t hide them.”
Zhang Ziqian sneered, “It seems like that person is just all show and no go.”
“Nonsense, he is not…” Ji Roufeng stopped in the middle of her sentence, seemingly to have realized that her behavior was not quite right.
She was here to represent the sect, so how could she let a small matter like her affections override her rationality? But the guy was indeed not all show and no go. When he bumped into her, she had felt his strength.
Thinking of this, she looked at her junior brother coldly again, causing Zhang Zqian’s heart to instantly turn cold.
Only then did she say, “Alright, then let’s get down to business. Everyone should have heard of the Riyueming Sect, right?”
The Riyueming Sect?
The few young people looked at each other and their faces were filled with confusion.
Ji Roufeng did not get angry. She simply smiled gently and said, “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. I can be responsible to tell you that the Riyueming Sect is an existence that is even more powerful than the four great martial arts universities. For example, I’m 21 years old this year…”
Zhang Ziqian moved his lips. He wanted to remind his senior sister that she was already 22 years old this year.
But after hesitating for a moment, his instincts told him that it was better if he kept his mouth shut.
Ji Roufeng continued, “But I’m already a martial artist in the beginner phase of the True-transformation Tier. With such cultivation, if I were to be placed in any of the four great martial arts universities, I would at least be in the top ten… That being said, if considered according to my overall strength in the sect, I’m afraid that I won’t even be in the top thirty. Such is the strength of the Riyueming Sect.”
Guo Xu explained, “Although Miss Ji’s words have not been verified, they are very reliable.”
Indeed, everything the sect disciples had was bestowed by the sect. To the sects, disciples were their private property, so they would naturally not mistreat them… Because of this, when compared to the martial arts universities, the disciples of the sect were probably children with milk while the students of the universities were children without milk. As such, it was a given the sect disciples would have the advantage in the early stages.
However, once the students of the martial arts universities rose in the early stages, they would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those from the sect. In fact, they might even be able to win against those disciples. It was probably another verification that children from poor families were forced to grow up quicker.
However, it was too early for him to say such things to these young students. Besides, these children did not have the right to choose at all. If there was an opportunity, it would be better to have them seize it first.
Ji RoufFeng said, “Our purpose here is to recruit five students to join the Riueming Sect. Of course, the Riyueming Sect only accepts the best students, so I will be giving you a comprehensive assessment. I must add, this is a consensual matter. You may go back and learn more about the sects. If you are interested, please gather here tomorrow morning. That’s all for today.”
After saying that, she nodded at Guo Xu, then turned around and left.
Zhang Ziqian hurriedly followed his senior sister’s footsteps.
After the two of them left, Guo Xu said, “Alright, there’s no need for you to investigate after going back. I’ll explain to you the difference between the sects and the martial arts universities. Where your intentions lie is entirely up to you. However, I can tell you first that to build a connection with the Riyueming Sect, Qingyang high School has used many connections. We’ve spent almost all of our funds over the past few years to get these five spots.”
As he spoke, he began to introduce the information of the sects to the students who were still in a daze.
At this moment, in the classroom.
It was now class break time. Xu Lingjun handed the bread to the female student behind him and said with a smile, “The bread you wanted.”
“Thank you… Xu… Xu Lingjun,” The female student blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
At the bottom of Xu Lingjun’s vision, a line of small words appeared.
[You have helped Liu Yina buy snacks and bread. You worked hard and thus earned Liu Yina’s gratitude, gaining the favor of the world’s Origin Will. Source value +8!]
The girls liked to have snacks during class breaks.
They had already learned how to use their gender as an advantage. Therefore, in the classes where romance was in the air, there would always be some weak male students who would be ordered by the female students to run errands.
With this, not only were the female students saved the trouble, but they also gained face.
That being said, no one would think that Xu Lingjun was weak.
Even if he helped the girls buy things, it would only make them feel grateful instead. They would only feel that he was very warm and polite and that they had gained a lot of “face”.
With this, their gratitude towards Xu Lingjun increased rapidly.
As such, Xu Lingjun’s favorite activity during class breaks was to help the female students buy things and run errands. After all, compared to having to dive to save the beloved dog of a dog lover in the middle of winter, this way of earning source value was effortless. It was so satisfying!
“Hmm? Are you interested in her?” Seeing Xu Lingjun smiling satisfactorily at Liu Yina after he bought what she wanted, Guo Zheng was confused.
Guo Zheng poked his shoulder and said in a low voice, “No way, right? Liu Yina is pretty, but she’s just a class belle. I’m afraid she’s not enough for you… Don’t be so desperate. Just go play with your school belle, okay? Leave the class belles to the ordinary people like us.”
Xu Lingjun hit his back and said, “Stop it. Can you not be so dirty-minded? What I’m doing is out of fraternal love and mutual help between classmates. Liu Yina, don’t you agree?”
Liu Yina held the bread and smiled foolishly. She nodded and said, “Yes, yes. There is fraternal love, yes.”
Guo Zheng suggested, “Let’s go for games after school? How about it?”
Xu Lingjun shook his head and said, “Can’t, I have an appointment with teacher Zhou Qing this afternoon to test my strength.”
“You really made a breakthrough?” Hearing this, Guo Zheng sighed regretfully and said, “It’s a pity. You were so close to having the chance to join the sect.”
“I’m lucky if I get it, but if I lose it, it’s my fate. There’s nothing to feel pity about.”
Xu Lingjun was quite calm. The benefit of joining sects was that he didn’t have to worry about the cultivation techniques and resources since the sect would provide all of them.
But the problem was that he had the source value now. Even if he couldn’t get real cultivation techniques and real resources, couldn’t he get the fake ones?
To him, currently, there was no difference between real and fake, anyway… From this point of view, joining sects really didn’t mean much to him.

Thinking of this, Xu Lingjun stuffed an E’jiao capsule into his mouth.
The minute the blood qi entered his stomach, it was immediately absorbed by the Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique, and he could feel that his body had become a little stronger.
Guo Zheng asked, “What did you eat?”
Xu Lingjun answered casually, “I’m a little anemic recently, so I’m taking some medicine to nourish my blood.”
“What you need to nourish isn’t blood, right?” The way Guo Zheng looked at Xu Lingjun was as if he had suddenly thought of something. He sighed and said, “Teacher Wang is too cruel. TO think she laid hands on an underage flower of the Empire… It’s only been a day and you’ve already started taking medicine to supplement your body.. If this goes on for a long time, aren’t you afraid that you’ll become dried out?”
