Penglai University.

Heaven Character Area, Estate No. 42.

Shen Changxi, with her long silver hair and an aloof, ethereal demeanor, stood in the garden.

"Jiang Ye managed to last ten days in the Primordial Refining Pool?"

"How did he do it?" The girl with white hair and red eyes looked at the campus news on her phone, slightly stunned.

Those who could come to Penglai University were all people with steadfast Martial Arts Will.

But even she could only endure half a day in the Primordial Refining Pool.

That was the Primordial Star Sky Refinement!

The level of pain was a hundred times more intense than the normal version.

Jiang Ye staying in it for ten days? He's not human.

"Buzz buzz!" Her phone vibrated.

"It's the teacher." Shen Changxi answered the call.

Beep!

A withered, elderly man with white hair appeared.

"Teacher Chen." Shen Changxi bowed.

The teacher she chose was Professor Chen Yuntian.

"Did you see the news I forwarded to you?" Chen Yuntian asked blandly.

"I saw it."

"Jiang Ye is indeed an opponent not to be underestimated." Shen Changxi nodded seriously.

She knew the teacher sent her this news as a warning not to underestimate this opponent.

It had been a month since the start of the school year.

Shen Changxi already knew that Jiang Ye's strength was only at the mid-level of the First Break.

Previously, she had felt a trace of contempt, but now, that trace of contempt was completely gone.

"After Jiang Ye went through this Star Sky Refinement."

"His power will surely progress by leaps and bounds." Chen Yuntian's voice was hoarse as he said, "In two months, he will become even stronger."

Shen Changxi listened attentively.

"You are my student, and also the one with the highest entrance exam score among this year's newcomers."

"Therefore, my requirement for you is."

"Two months from now, in the newcomer tournament, crush him and take first place." Chen Yuntian said blandly, "Can you do it?"

"Alright." Shen Changxi nodded, "I will do my best."

To crush Jiang Ye? She had the confidence.

After all, the opponent was only at mid-First Break; even if he reached late-First Break in two months, he wouldn't be her match.

Because she had already reached the Peak of First Break.

In the next two months, she would spend time consolidating and pushing her combat power to the highest level.

Jiang Ye, what could he use to fight her?

In the projection, Chen Yuntian nodded and said, "Report on your cultivation progress."

"Yes."

Shen Changxi immediately said, "The Red Moon Swordsmanship and Star Sky Step Technique have reached Minor Success, but that Yellow Tier Starry Sky Secret Technique is still a bit short..."

Two Profound Tier Upper Level Cultivation Techniques, one Yellow Tier Starry Sky Secret Technique!

And several Profound Tier Mid to Lower Level Art Techniques, all close to Minor Success.

In two months, all the techniques she practiced would reach Minor Success.

This was Shen Changxi's foundation.

"Still not enough." Chen Yuntian frowned and said, "From today, increase your training time by an hour each day. You must work harder to secure the championship."

Shen Changxi's heart trembled, she quickly nodded, "Yes, teacher."

The projection slowly dissipated.

Shen Changxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the neighboring estate.

That was where Jiang Ye lived.

"It seems Teacher Chen regretted not taking him in, hence the special demand that I must crush him." Shen Changxi mused.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Wasn't it just winning first place in the newcomer trial?

Why was Teacher Chen Yuntian so concerned about Jiang Ye?

Wasn't taking her in enough?

"Cultivation." Shen Changxi took a deep breath and walked towards the indoor training room.

...

Not only Shen Changxi.

The other seed students of Penglai University Class of 2326 also received that news simultaneously.

Heaven Character Area, Estate No. 43.

"Jiang Ye lasted ten days in the Primordial Refining Pool?" Liu Wanxiao nodded.

It wasn't surprising.

He remembered that during Jiang Ye's entrance trial, his body was shot full of holes, yet he still managed to win first place.

"This guy, he's really not human." Liu Wanxiao sighed secretly.

Ding ding!

His phone vibrated.

"Is it Teacher Gu?" Liu Wanxiao immediately answered the call.

Beep! A black-clad elder appeared.

It was Liu Wanxiao's chosen mentor, Gu Xuantong, a legendary figure in the art of blades!

"Wanxiao."

"How is the preparation for the newcomer tournament in two months?" Gu Xuantong inquired.

Not every teacher is like Chen Yuntian or Zhu Honglie, who sets training plans for their students.

Gu Xuantong, for instance, is a hands-off mentor, with very loose management of students.

Every few days, he would inquire once.

"Teacher." Liu Wanxiao said, "I am confident in securing a top-three place."

"Top three?"

Gu Xuantong shook his head, "I expect you to secure a second place and aim for first!"

"Third? For you, that would be a crushing defeat."

"Among this year's newcomers, aside from Shen Changxi, who else poses a threat to you?" Gu Xuantong looked at his student.

Liu Wanxiao said, "Teacher, I believe Jiang Ye is also an opponent not to be underestimated."

"Jiang Ye?"

Gu Xuantong laughed and said, "He may be special, but his combat power is far inferior to yours."

"Don't be fooled by Jiang Ye's appearance, the talent gap between you and him is quite large."

"In the Newborn Competition two months from now, if you encounter him, you can easily crush him."

"I understand." Liu Wanxiao quickly replied.

Gu Xuantong said, "Work hard on your cultivation, and if you have any questions, come to me right away."

"Yes."

The figure of Gu Xuantong slowly faded away.

"Talent gap?" Liu Wanxiao pondered over the teacher's words just now.

The talent gap between Jiang Ye and himself is great?

Could it be that Jiang Ye is not of the Tao Bone talent?

"Not Tao Bone, could it be a Newborn talent?" Liu Wanxiao wondered.

But on the day of the Newborn trial, he clearly saw Jiang Ye display abilities of the Tao Bone talent!

How could it be Newborn talent?

"Never mind."

"Wait until the Newborn Competition and test his depth again."

"Newborn Competition." Liu Wanxiao thought to himself, "Aim for second, strive for first!"

...

In an office within a platinum suspended building.

"Jiang Ye, that kid still hasn't returned?" Zhu Honglie looked at the campus news and suddenly shook his head with a smile.

"This little guy is really surprising..."

He was not only referring to this Star Sky Refinement.

But also to Jiang Ye's progress over this past month.

Even from Zhu Honglie's perspective, Jiang Ye's progress is extremely impressive.

"If he continues to progress like this, by the time of the Newborn Competition, he might shock everyone."

Zhu Honglie couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm."

"Once the Newborn Competition is over." Zhu Honglie planned, "I can let Jiang Ye undertake that S-Class combat mission."

As a teacher, he knows too well the importance of combat missions.

Jiang Ye has been accumulating foundation over these past few months.

Only through real combat can all this foundation be transformed into strength.

By then, Jiang Ye's power will see a frightening surge.

"Elder Bai." Zhu Honglie dialed Elder Bai's phone.

An S-Class combat mission needs to be applied for.

"Buzz..."

After the call connected, Zhu Honglie stated his request.

"S-Class? That Fortress Judgment mission?" Elder Bai was surprised: "Are you sure?"

"Certain."

"S-Class combat missions are specifically for Upper A grade students." Elder Bai reminded: "Jiang Ye right now can't be fully considered as Upper A."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Honglie laughed cheerfully: "That's why I'll have him go after the Newborn Competition."

"Oh?"

Elder Bai was slightly surprised: "You seem to have great confidence in that little guy, thinking he can certainly secure the Upper A contract?"

"Did he progress rapidly this month?" Elder Bai asked curiously.

"Elder Bai, stop probing for information." Zhu Honglie laughed: "After the Newborn Competition, you'll naturally know his strength."

"You rascal."

Elder Bai shook his head and didn't ask further.

Before the Newborn Competition, it's normal for teachers to conceal their disciple's strength.

It's the same with Chen Yuntian and Gu Xuantong.

"This Fortress Judgment mission, probably Old Chen and Old Gu will apply for it as well." Elder Bai said: "When the time comes, you should organize it."

"No problem." Zhu Honglie immediately agreed.

...

Jiang Ye naturally knew nothing about what was happening with Zhu Honglie.

By now, he had completed the Primordial level refinement and returned home.

"So strong."

Jiang Ye felt the surging power within him, delighted beyond measure.

The benefits brought by the Primordial Star Sky Refinement were beyond imagination.

"Though Primordial level refinement is far from the Star Sea Gift, the benefits are over ten times that of ordinary refinement."

Jiang Ye could clearly sense the changes in himself.

Over the past month, he had been constantly cultivating, accumulating his Martial Arts foundation.

And this Star Sky Refinement completely transformed all the accumulated foundation into strength.

This is a transformation in Life Level!

"Observing the finest details." Jiang Ye's eyes flashed as he looked at himself.

Buzz!

Instantly, a dazzling light covered his vision.

This light represented his Life Strength.

"My Life Strength has increased by at least twofold compared to before the Primordial refinement."

"Compared to a month ago, it's a dramatic change." A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Ye's mouth.

Now he is not less than Late First Break, he's almost there!

How long has it been?

Only a month.

"Good!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh.

The significant increase in strength also made him eagerly anticipate the next two months of cultivation.

"Continue cultivating."

Jiang Ye picked up the long spear, walked into the garden, and resumed his arduous training life.

...

Time passed day by day.

Jiang Ye followed the cultivation plan provided by Teacher Zhu Honglie, spending his time in relentless training.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.

At the end of October, with the autumn air cool and crisp.

Unconsciously, the 2326th Newborn Competition at Penglai University had arrived as scheduled.
