3: 55 calories of Qi and blood, the door is blocked
“On what grounds?!”
Ye Chen’s faint voice reached Mu Bing and Liu Qian’s ears.
Mu Bing’s cold expression also froze slightly with Ye Chen’s words.
Before she could say anything, Liu Qian, on the other hand, instantly exploded.
“Ye Chen! Do you know what you’re saying? ‘On what grounds’? Believe it or not, if you don’t give it, I’ll make sure Bing’er never speaks to you again!”
“Don’t you know Bing’er also signed up for the Martial Arts Class? Don’t you know that your one subsidy can greatly improve Bing’er’s strength? The school’s subsidy is wasted on you; it’s better to give it to Bing’er. If Bing’er can get into Jiangnan University, it will be your honor!”
Liu Qian stood with one hand on her hip, pointing at Ye Chen and screaming. The sound of fat squeezing her vocal cords was incredibly shrill.
Mu Bing’s expression also grew colder because of Liu Qian’s words. She looked at Ye Chen and said coldly, “I know your feelings for me. This Martial Arts Class is very important to me. If you are willing to give me the school’s subsidy, I can give you a chance to pursue me!”
“Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?”
Mu Bing’s words were cut off mercilessly by Ye Chen before she could finish.
Ye Chen waved his hand, somewhat impatiently saying to Mu Bing, “What does your signing up for the Martial Arts Class have to do with me? And what Jiangnan University? Does your family not have money to buy resources, that you have to snatch from an orphan like me? Or are you an orphan too?”
“And you!”
Ye Chen looked at Liu Qian, the disgust in his eyes growing stronger: “What are you, making such a fuss here?”
“You two idiots, scram!”
After Ye Chen cursed, he didn’t give them time to react and turned to leave.
Only Mu Bing and Liu Qian were left standing dumbfounded.
“He… he actually dared to curse me?!”
Mu Bing’s body trembled slightly, her face filled with disbelief. She had never imagined that the bootlicker who used to obey her every word would one day treat her like this.
As a result, her face showed a wronged expression. As two of the Prodigies in Class Eight who were qualified to enter the Martial Arts Class, when had she ever suffered such a grievance?
“Ahhh, this damned guy, how dare he?!”
Liu Qian, beside her, screamed with red eyes at this moment, but soon she seemed to think of something and grabbed Mu Bing’s hand, saying.
“Bing’er, this bootlicker must be doing this on purpose, deliberately giving you a contrasting feeling, and then trying to please you. I’ve read about it in those books, yes, it must be like this!”
“Believe me, it won’t be long before this bootlicker comes to apologize to you and obediently delivers the subsidy to your hands!”
In Liu Qian’s eyes, there was a glimmer of wisdom.
“Is… is that so…”
Mu Bing was also somewhat swayed by Liu Qian’s words, and a proud expression involuntarily appeared on her face.
“A sense of contrast? Hmph, he’ll still obediently give me the subsidy!”
Mu Bing had already begun to imagine how she would humiliate Ye Chen when he brought her the subsidy!
…Meanwhile, Ye Chen also received his monthly subsidy from the school’s storeroom.
A first-Rank qi blood pill!
“No wonder this predecessor was so weak; all his previous subsidies were given to Mu Bing. What a waste of heavenly treasures. All bootlickers deserve to die!”
Ye Chen looked at the precious qi blood pill in his hand and couldn’t help but shake his head.
You know, a first-Rank qi blood pill would cost at least several thousand yuan on the market. Ye Chen used to work part-time for a month just to get one.
But he gave it to Mu Bing.
“Never mind, never mind. I’ll go back and Cultivate first!”
Ye Chen put away the Medicinal Pill and quickly returned home, sitting directly on his bed.
With a slight thought, the System panel appeared.
“name: Ye Chen”
“cultivation: Quasi Martial Artist (49/100)”
“Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique: Minor Achievement (18/100)”
“Breeze Step: Minor Achievement (28/100)”
“Basic Sword Technique: Major Achievement (16/100)”
During enrollment, Ye Chen was again mocked by other students. His Breathing Technique and Martial Skill also became more competitive, and now the Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique and Breeze Step had uniformly entered the Minor Achievement Realm.
As the Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique entered the Minor Achievement Realm, Ye Chen’s Qi and blood also increased by 1 card.
The most important factors in improving a Martial Artist’s Cultivate efficiency are the Rank and Realm of the Breathing Technique.
Whether it’s a Martial Skill or a Breathing Technique, the Ranks are divided into basic level, and first-Rank to ninth-Rank.
And the Realms range from Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, to Perfection!
The improvement of the Breathing Technique Realm also increased Ye Chen’s Cultivate efficiency, allowing him to increase his Qi and blood by 1 card in the span of one class.
“There’s still a week until the Martial Arts Class. I’m not in a hurry to take the qi blood pill, after all, the higher the Breathing Technique Realm, the better the effect after taking the qi blood pill!”
“For now, I’ll focus on slow Cultivate!”
After muttering to himself, Ye Chen quietly sat cross-legged on the bed and began to Cultivate.
The next day, the sunlight gently sprinkled down, waking Ye Chen from his Cultivate.
Even though he hadn’t rested all night, Ye Chen’s aura was still in its peak state.
“In one night, my Qi and blood increased by a full 6 cards, which is incomparable to before!”
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, filled with satisfaction.
Soon, the System panel reappeared before Ye Chen.
“name: Ye Chen”
“cultivation: Quasi Martial Artist (55/100)”
“Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique: Minor Achievement (42/100)”
“Breeze Step: Minor Achievement (52/100)”
“Basic Sword Technique: Major Achievement (28/100)”
“From six o’clock yesterday to now, twelve hours, the Minor Achievement Realm Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique and Breeze Step increased by 24 points of proficiency, but the Major Achievement Realm Basic Sword Technique only increased by 12 points of proficiency. It seems that as the Realm improves, the proficiency gained from automatic Cultivate will also decrease.”
“But even so… it’s already very good. At this rate, my Fierce Tiger Breathing Technique will reach Major Achievement by this time tomorrow, and then my Cultivate efficiency will improve again!”
Ye Chen’s face showed a satisfied smile.
Stretching, Ye Chen simply washed up in the bathroom, ate breakfast, and then walked towards the school.
Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the school gate of No. 1 High School, but before he could step through the gate, three figures of varying heights appeared before him.
“Wang Xing, Liu Long, Zhao Ming?”
Ye Chen recognized the three at a glance; they were all students from Class 8, Senior Year 3, just like him.
The three blocked Ye Chen’s path into the school. Wang Xing, who was leading them, stared at Ye Chen with an unfriendly expression.
“You ran fast yesterday, kid. I finally caught you today. Listen carefully, go to Teacher Du later and cancel your enrollment, otherwise… if you disgrace Class Eight, I’ll kill you!”
