He knew too little about Extraordinary Talent. The Tao Bone Talent he encountered was already far beyond ordinary comprehension. Extraordinary Talent? Even more unimaginable. "Chen Zilu has an extraordinary background," Zhang Jianwu said to Jiang Ye, "If you can establish a connection with her, it will make your path in Penglai University and even the Eastern Domain’s ten provinces much smoother." "I understand, Director." Jiang Ye nodded. "Remember, always maintain a mentor-student relationship," Zhang Jianwu suddenly warned solemnly, "This is very important." Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "I understand." Zhang Jianwu smiled, "Train hard this month, strive to make a splash when you enter Penglai University." "Who says a student from the West Mountain Province can’t shake the schools of the Eastern Domain’s ten provinces? I have high hopes for you." "I will!" Jiang Ye smiled and took his leave. Zhang Jianwu looked out the window. "Mentor-student relationship," Zhang Jianwu pondered his words. Those words were actually a warning to Jiang Ye, not to entertain any inappropriate thoughts. After all, Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu were about the same age and were both talented and attractive. The way Chen Zilu treated Jiang Ye was also quite special. But Jiang Ye’s current status and Chen Zilu were worlds apart. If any inappropriate thoughts arose, this hard-maintained relationship could fall apart. "Who can say what the future holds?" Zhang Jianwu suddenly shook his head with a smile. Perhaps one day, that name will echo from the prosperous Eastern Domain’s ten provinces back to An City. By then, even the Extraordinary Families would treat him with courtesy. Jiang Ye could somewhat guess Zhang Jianwu’s thoughts. However, he didn’t mind. The difference in status wasn’t a shackle but a motivation. It was precisely because of these differences that he pursued his goals even more steadfastly and worked even harder. The day after the commemoration, Zhao Qingli sent over Martial Ginseng and Martial Ganoderma of lower grade Mystical Tier worth 500,000. On the third day, Jiang Ye went to the center of An City for ordinary Star Sky Refinement. Originally, he wanted to try Primordial Star Sky Refinement. But the staff told him that using this opportunity in An City would be a waste, and it would be better to use it in the Eastern Domain’s ten provinces. Because the Primordial Star Energy there is of much higher quality than in West Mountain Province. "The Eastern Domain’s ten provinces truly are prosperous." "Even the quality of the Star Energy is several times better than West Mountain Province’s?" Jiang Ye was astonished when he heard this. The staff said, "The Star Professionals in the Eastern Domain’s ten provinces are stronger, able to venture into more dangerous parts of the universe, with the opportunity to acquire higher quality Star Energy." "I see," Jiang Ye realized. It was ultimately because the overall strength of West Mountain Province was insufficient. The Star Professionals nurtured by West Mountain Province were also not on par with those from the Eastern Domain’s ten provinces. "In that case, I’ll go with the ordinary one," Jiang Ye said. Ordinary Star Sky Refinement, though less effective than before, still had its benefits. Moreover, after the previous battles, there was less than ten thousand strands of Star Energy left in the Guanyuan Acupoint. Star Sky Refinement was not only about physical transformation but also a process of replenishing Star Energy. Jiang Ye repeated a monotonous cultivation routine. During the day, he cultivated both "Star Martial Advancement Technique" and "Nine Luminaries Star Stepping." At night, he engaged in the Martial Arts Will refinement, not Chongshi... rather, a fulfilling practice. During this time, Jiang Ye tried to make time for his parents and Jiang Ting. As the end of July approached, Jiang Ye became more relaxed. Initially, his parents and Jiang Ting were unwilling to part with him, but as time went on, they wished he would just leave already. Saying goodbye every day became tiresome. "Ye, are you leaving today?" "What? Still five days to go?" "Why not leave early?" In this situation, Jiang Ye looked forward to that day even more. The time came to July 31st. Midnight—twelve o’clock. "Boom!" "Boom!" Jiang Ye continuously kicked with both legs, practicing on his rooftop. Each kick carried immense force, accompanied by flashes of silver starlight, bursting with booming sounds. Check latest chapters at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵 His movements were slightly sluggish. But as time went on, his strikes became smoother and more incisive. "Boom!" "Boom~" The Star Energy within Jiang Ye began to flow more smoothly, gradually integrating with his moves. If a progress bar were to track the burst of Star Energy. One could see Jiang Ye’s noticeable progress. "Whoosh!" At the moment the progress reached 100％, Jiang Ye soared into the air, unleashing his right leg like an iron whip. "Boom!" A thunderous sonic boom reverberated through the air. A silver Star Ring burst forth, blossoming like fireworks, shooting over a hundred meters into the sky. "Sigh~" A thin layer of cloud was scattered by the Star Ring in an instant. [Nine Luminaries Star Stepping: Entry (2％) → Entry (4％)] Jiang Ye landed steadily back on the ground, looking at the notification that flashed across the panel. "Another 2％ improvement," Jiang Ye smiled slightly. He glanced at the panel. ——Grounded Martial Arts Achievement System—— [Physique: Profound Body (Upper D)] [Cultivation Technique] Star Martial Cultivation Technique: Perfection Eight Thunder Sounds Fist: Perfection Star Martial Advancement Technique: Great Success (30%) Nine Luminaries Star Stepping: Entry (4%) Martial Arts Master, Ancestor’s Friend... Pretending, Acting on Heaven’s behalf [Martial Arts Celestial Ladder] The progress of this month’s cultivation was remarkable. Not only had the Star Martial Advancement Technique broken through to Great Success, but the Earth Tier Starry Sky Secret Technique Nine Luminaries Star Stepping had also reached Entry level. Jiang Ye’s current strength was now incomparable to before. Jiang Ye turned to the stairwell. Tomorrow was the day of departure. Tonight, he had to pack. Eight o’clock in the morning. Jiang Ye finished his meal, entered his room, and brought out his luggage. "Ye, don’t compare yourself with others at university," Jiang Dahai advised, "Make friends with good students, the more friends you have, the more paths you’ll have." "Take some pickles your mother made," Li Anping handed him a jar, "Make sure to send a letter when you arrive." "Dad, Mom, you both need to take care of yourselves too." Jiang Ye said earnestly. The permanent Starry Sky Corridor was a concern of his. But what could he do for now? Ask his parents to move? Clearly impossible. Perhaps one day, he could find a way to permanently close the Starry Sky Corridor. Jiang Ting hugged Jiang Ye, her eyes unknowingly turning red again, "You have to call us every day." "Tingting, your brother needs to cultivate, he can’t call every day," Li Anping scolded lightly. "I’ll call whenever I can," Jiang Ye smiled, "Dad, Mom, I’m leaving, no need to see me off." He carried his luggage out the door. A communication watch message came through. [Zhao Qingli: I’m at your doorstep] [Jiang Ye: I’m coming out.] Jiang Ye waved to his parents and Jiang Ting, but instead of running downstairs, he ran towards the rooftop. Above the rooftop, a silver-white ring-shaped aircraft hovered in mid-air. The ring-shaped aircraft’s rear emitted a burst of white gas, and then a giant cabin door slowly opened. A gust of wind blew in. "The class monitor is really rich," Jiang Ye thought to himself, leaping onboard with his luggage. Zhao Qingli had also applied to Penglai University. He had arranged with her to go together. "Bye, Mom and Dad, Tingting!" Jiang Ye waved to his family from the cabin door. The cabin door slowly closed. The aircraft’s tail light lit up and ascended slowly. "Boom~!" A huge roar echoed. In a moment, it became a shadow, disappearing at the edge of the sky.
