CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 34: NEW ACHIEVEMENT, SAINTESS AS SERVANT

August 31st.

In the room.

A bright-eyed young man, bare-chested, was constantly moving his body.

Though young, his body lines were perfectly balanced and taut, making him look not only mature but also full of heroic spirit.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the young man clenched his fist and threw a punch.

The sound of the punch exploded!

All of the young man’s essence, Qi, and spirit seemed to be contained within this punch, which was launched with the force of thunder and an overwhelming sense of oppression!

"Boom!"

A deep thunderous sound suddenly burst forth.

Vaguely, it seemed the sound waves rippled out.

Swish~!

The next moment, the curtain several meters away seemed affected by the sound wave, swaying.

The window also made a creaking sound.

"So strong."

Jiang Ye stood with his force withdrawn, looking at the ’destructive power’ he caused.

This was across several meters and could affect the window from a distance.

If the punch landed on a human body, it would definitely injure the viscera.

"Eight Thunder Sounds Fist, truly a killing skill."

Jiang Ye exhaled a long breath, looking at his panel.

First Layer

——

This month, he had already spent all of his thirty thousand yuan from the trial.

He conducted martial arts dietary supplementation every day.

And the effects were evident.

Not only was the Eight Thunder Sounds Fist close to entry, but the Star Martial Cultivation Technique also improved by nearly 20%.

"By the end of the first semester of senior year, the cultivation technique must break through to perfection." This was the goal Jiang Ye set for himself.

As for the Eight Thunder Sounds Fist? He could only leave it to fate.

Even though he was cultivating quickly now, reaching near entry in just one month.

But it would only get more difficult as he progressed, especially after breaking through to great success, requiring time to persevere.

The Star Martial Cultivation Technique is the best example.

And now the Eight Thunder Sounds Fist progress reached 99%, ushering in a bottleneck period, making it rather difficult to break through to entry.

"Bottleneck period, it’s hard to break through just by cultivating."

Jiang Ye thought to himself: "Only through sudden insight can I cross this hurdle, but..."

An insight? Such opportunities are rare.

His talent ultimately has a limit, unless his comprehension dramatically improves again, otherwise, he can only rely on time to hone.

"Brother!"

At this time, Jiang Ting’s voice came from outside the door.

"Coming."

Jiang Ye walked out of the room, looking at little Jiang Ting: "What’s up?"

Jiang Ting held a basin of water, smiling sweetly: "Brother, I’ll wash your feet, sit down quickly."

"Wash feet?"

Jiang Ye stared at the footwash basin with a strange look, saying: "Why are you washing my feet? Just say if there’s something up."

Jiang Ting said somewhat embarrassed: "It’s the school’s homework, asking us to wash the feet of elders."

"Go wash dad and mom’s feet." Jiang Ye said.

"No, I want to wash brother’s feet." Jiang Ting hummed: "Brother is also an elder!"

Jiang Ye understood this little girl was too shy to wash her parents’ feet, but was close to him.

He looked at the time; it was already late at night. Their father was working late, and their mother should be asleep.

"In the future, this kind of homework should be done for mom and dad, no slacking off."

Jiang Ye taught her: "This time, forget it, you can wash mine."

He sat down.

"Mm-hmm, got it, I know brother is the best."

Jiang Ting immediately squatted down happily and began washing his feet.

She wasn’t perfunctory and seriously rubbed Jiang Ye’s feet with her petite white hands.

"Brother, remember to bring me something tasty when school starts tomorrow." Jiang Ting said eagerly while washing.

"You little girl..." Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled, realizing this was her intention.

But just as he was about to respond.

Suddenly, a few lines of text popped up in front of him.

[You have unlocked a new achievement: Upper Realm Saintess, serving you willingly]

[Unlocked Title: Saintess as Servant!]

[Reward: Comprehension Transformation: You have been nourished by the Saintess, comprehension increased by 50%]

——

Even though he was accustomed to the system’s shocks, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but gasp.

Saintess as Servant?

System, are you kidding me!

She’s my sister!

Who would have thought Jiang Ting washing his feet would be judged by the system as her being his servant?

"Upper Realm Saintess?" Jiang Ye looked at those words.

In the system’s judgment, Jiang Ting became an Upper Realm Saintess?

"Is it because of the Martial Embryo Holy Body?" Jiang Ye pondered to himself: "But why is it called the Upper Realm? Is it because this physique exceeds the limits of the Grounded Martial World?"

Thinking back to the system’s detection of Jiang Ting’s physique.

He thought this possibility was very high.

"But this Grounded Martial Achievement System, actually unlocks this kind of achievement?" Jiang Ye was quite surprised.

Most of the achievements he unlocked before were related to his strength.

Even if he exploited glitches, they were closely linked to his strength.

But this time, it was obviously an exception.

"Saintess as Servant, should belong to the social type achievement, right?" Jiang Ye pondered.

This reminded him of some online games he played in his previous life.

There are many types of achievements.

Growth, life, social, combat, exploration...

Since he could unlock social achievements, maybe there are more achievements waiting for him to unlock, just not yet discovered.

"Darn it, no beginner guide, isn’t this trouble for Fat Tiger?"

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but complain.

Since activating the system, he figured out all the functions by himself.

If there were even a manual, he wouldn’t have been this confused.

Jiang Ye shook his head and looked again at the recent reward.

"Wisdom enhancement by 50%?"

Upon seeing this reward, his eyes lit up.

His cultivation speed might get greatly enhanced again.

...

After washing his feet, it was already close to midnight.

Jiang Ye didn’t continue cultivation but instead entered the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, starting the Illusion Realm practice over.

The next day.

September 1st, school start day.

An City No.3 High School.

The school was filled with a tense atmosphere, with each class preparing for the start-of-school baseline exams.

After arriving at school, Jiang Ye did not immediately go to the classroom for assessment.

Instead, he went early to Chen Zilu’s office.

Chen Zilu looked at Jiang Ye: "The exam is about to start, what are you here for?"

Jiang Ye took out a box of cake and laughed: "Teacher, happy birthday."

Chen Zilu was momentarily stunned, her pretty eyes shifting to the cake box, her gaze very surprised: "You knew?"

She hadn’t told Jiang Ye her birthdate.

"Guessed it." Jiang Ye chuckled, saying: "You told me your V chat number."

Chen Zilu looked at him unexpectedly, then took the cake: "Thank you, that was thoughtful."

"It’s only appropriate." Jiang Ye grinned, then quickly headed back to the classroom for the assessment.

"This guy..." Chen Zilu pursed her rosy little mouth.

Then, she opened the cake box for a look, a hint of smile appearing on her charming face.

A small gift with a heartfelt sentiment.

The cake wasn’t expensive but it did raise her impression of Jiang Ye a notch.

Chen Zilu closed the cake box, carefully placed it in the cabinet, locked it up, then got up to leave the office.

Elsewhere.

Jiang Ye walked out of the office, staring intently at the panel before him.

Moments later, he sighed: "Gift giving can’t unlock achievements?"

In many games, giving gifts to female friends with sufficient affinity can unlock social achievements.

This was one of the reasons Jiang Ye rushed over early to give Chen Zilu the cake.

Unfortunately.

This time, the system didn’t pop up with a new achievement.

Though Jiang Ye was disappointed, he didn’t dwell on it.

After all, it was just an attempt.

Chen Zilu had always treated him well, and today was her birthday. Giving her a box of cake for that reason alone was perfectly fine.

Moreover, it could increase the goodwill.

"Time for the exam."

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and walked towards his class.

...

In senior year, every assessment is very important.

Thus, even for the entry baseline exam, a cross-monitoring format is adopted.

The invigilator for Class Nine was a burly man with a whisker.

"The start-of-school baseline assessment, now begins!"

The whiskered teacher said in a deep voice: "Everyone, proceed with the tests in order!"

Below the podium, Wen Yuehui looked at Jiang Ye, whispered: "Ye, did you pass the trial?"

"Passed." Jiang Ye nodded, not hiding it.

"Really? Congratulations." Wen Yuehui was quite surprised, as the trial difficulty at school was high.

Given Jiang Ye’s strength, passing the trial must have been extremely difficult.

"I heard passing the trial yields a prize money of tens of thousands." Wen Yuehui secretly sighed: "Now the gap between Ye and I will surely be larger."

Because of his good relationship with Jiang Ye, he doesn’t want to lag too far behind.

Jiang Ye didn’t care.

After undergoing the summer trial, he felt little pressure about the baseline assessment.

But he eagerly wanted to see if his current power could rank him in the top hundred of the grade.

Chen Zilu mentioned that scholarships are awarded to the grade’s top hundred.

Soon, it was Jiang Ye’s turn.

He approached the punch power testing machine, adjusted his stance, then suddenly threw a punch.

"Boom!"

A dull sound rang out.

After finishing the punch power test, Jiang Ye didn’t stop, but turned towards the silver-white treadmill.

This assessment tested both punch power and speed together.

"Bang~!"

On the treadmill, Jiang Ye’s legs seemed to transform into shadows, sprinting fiercely.

Moments later, he finally paused.

By this time, the whole class quieted down, staring at the electronic board ahead.

"Jiang Ye." Xu Sisi was also watching attentively.

As the second place surpassed by Jiang Ye, she was very focused on his score.

This assessment would tell her if she regained second place over the summer break.

Not long after, Jiang Ye’s punch power and speed test results were displayed.

"Punch Power: 960 kilograms"

"Speed: 19.1 meters/second"
