"The path to perfection is already halfway there." Jiang Ye relaxed completely.

Six months ago, he never imagined this scene.

Back then, Jiang Ye hadn’t even broken through to Minor Success with his cultivation technique.

Just six months, from Minor Success, striving toward perfection?

This cultivation speed might not even be imagined by the students in the advanced class.

"During this time, besides my own efforts, the key was the teacher’s guidance and that thirty thousand yuan."

Chen Zilu’s thirty thousand yuan was like providing timely assistance.

Thanks to this, he could supplement with leopard gall, and even tiger gall, every day this month.

Such conditions might not be available to advanced class students.

"But compared to Zhao Qingli, who is rich, it’s still far too lacking." Jiang Ye sighed.

He only spent thirty thousand yuan in a month, and could only experience it for one month.

While others can spend a hundred thousand yuan every month.

However, Jiang Ye doesn’t care.

In terms of wealth, he’s no match, but he has a cheat!

His buffs aren’t strong enough now, but as his strength grows, the achievement buffs will increase.

By then, all those Martial Arts prodigies and unmatched talents will be left speechless!

"Take a break."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes slightly, almost sleepless and restless this month, spending every day in either cultivation or Illusion Realm training.

With the trial approaching, it’s time to relax.

...

Next morning.

Jiang Ye woke up from bed, holding his head: "Damn, when..."

Last night, he planned to rest his eyes briefly, but unexpectedly slept until morning.

Key is he dreamed that same nightmare again while sleeping.

A young man suspected to be his biological father.

And that golden palace called ’Star Sea Divine Path.’

"Star Sea Divine Path, what is that place?"

Jiang Ye recalled the palace in his dream, the young man entered the palace, leaving him like abandoned, deserted at the palace gate.

But the dream didn’t seem like the biological father abandoned him initially.

The dream included many indistinct fragments, intermittent, missing many crucial parts, making one curious.

Unfortunately, he’s indifferent about so-called parentage and disinclined to explore further.

"No more sleeping, I’ll stay in Illusion Realm at night, avoiding nightmares and waking fresh the next day."

Jiang Ye made up his mind.

"Time to go to school."

He got up, exited the room, washed up, ate, then headed to school.

"Brother, do your best."

Before leaving, Jiang Ting suddenly ran out from her room.

"Why are you up?" Jiang Ye was surprised.

"Hehe." Jiang Ting smiled at him: "I specifically remembered today’s date, brother’s going for the trial."

This month, Jiang Ye indeed kept mentioning it every day.

The little girl didn’t understand what the trial was but knew that whatever her brother mentioned all month must be important.

"Silly girl, go back to sleep." Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled, rubbed her tender little face, turned and left.

...

An City No.3 High School.

The campus was silent during summer break.

But today, many figures moved through the campus.

As Jiang Ye entered the school, he saw a familiar figure.

"Li Zhichao?"

He called out to the distance.

When the other turned around, Jiang Ye was slightly stunned.

A month passed, Li Zhichao’s physique became more robust, veins bulging, muscles knotted, exuding strong presence.

However, the top of his head seemed sharper, whether due to visual reason or not.

"Jiang Ye."

Li Zhichao walked over with a confident smile.

"How’s your month been? Has cultivation gone smoothly?" Li Zhichao looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye nodded: "Not bad, how about you?"

"I’ve improved greatly this month."

Li Zhichao smiled: "This month, I broke the limit of two injections a week, now I can inject three!"

He raised his head, eyes brimming with confident light.

Three injections a week!

This brought notable transformation to his body in a short time.

Li Zhichao was confident in the upcoming trial.

"..."

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, then said: "Didn’t Teacher Chen tell you about the side effects of injections?"

Li Zhichao shook his head: "How could the path of a powerhouse be without cost? These side effects mean little to me."

"But haven’t you injected this month?"

He looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye shook his head: "I never injected."

Hearing this, Li Zhichao laughed shaking his head.

"Even now you stay stubborn?"

"There’s nothing disgraceful about injections...Forget it, since you haven’t injected this month, I wish you success in the trial."

Li Zhichao sighed.

He hoped for a rival in the class to boost his potential.

But if Jiang Ye doesn’t continue injecting, Li Zhichao will surely leave him behind.

Jiang Ye said nothing more, believing that Chen Zilu also warned Li Zhichao about injection risks.

But if the other chooses this path, it’s understandable.

Everyone has their destiny, no need to force interference.

The two walked side by side towards the trial location.

The trial location was in the spherical building from the previous Virtual Starry Sky assessment.

Spherical building, hall.

Many people filled the hall in anticipation of the trial’s start.

Jiang Ye entered, finding quite a few freshmen around.

This was evident through the different uniforms.

An City No.3 High School’s uniforms differed from freshman to senior.

Additionally, they’re different for ordinary and advanced classes, as advanced class uniforms are often well-made, custom designed.

Ordinary class uniforms are simple, preventing early romance.

"Freshmen? All from advanced classes."

Jiang Ye looked around, not surprised.

The trial was a lowest-level one, requiring cultivation technique Great Success.

Advanced classes can achieve Great Success in freshman year, just meeting requirements.

Of course, few sophomores participated, as top-tier geniuses usually skip low-level trials.

"Li Zhichao, you came too?"

A voice suddenly called out.

Jiang Ye turned to see a peculiar-looking guy walking over.

This person had a large head, nearly same width as shoulders, appearing out of proportion.

Seeing the person, Li Zhichao frowned:

"Lin Xuan? Aren’t you from An City No.1 High School, why are you here?"

An City No.1 High School ranks top in An City, far superior to An City No.3 High School.

Jiang Ye heard ordinary class students bow and greet advanced classmates in some schools, a tradition of An City No.1 High School.

The rule that a powerhouse must shame the weak relentlessly represents An City No.1 High School’s motivational policy.

The big-headed guy, Lin Xuan, smiled: "I was invited as An City No.1 High School freshman representative for the trial."

Then he glanced at Jiang Ye.

"Your classmate? Seems from ordinary class?"

Lin Xuan chuckled: "Chao, you’re falling behind, still mingling with ordinary class."

"Staying like this, I won’t admit you’re my neighbor anymore."

Saying this, he looked at Jiang Ye: "Classmate, no offense intended."

Celestial Dragon District is a well-known wealthy area in An City.

Lin Xuan, like Li Zhichao, seems to be offspring of wealth.

Unacquainted with Jiang Ye, he indeed didn’t target him personally, but his disdain for ordinary classes was evident.

Nonetheless.

Jiang Ye disregarded Lin Xuan’s words entirely, instead studied his large head and curiously asked: "Did you drink too much tainted milk as a child?"
