Scalp tingling! Chu Mingyue's attributes have exploded?

The characteristic of a pet is that once it recognizes a master, it can be manipulated by the owner at will.

The more domineering and forceful the owner, the more the pet will rely on and obey, deriving an indescribable sense of satisfaction from it.

And a bonded pet will show extreme indifference to other members of the opposite sex; no one can pique its interest except its master.

What Xu Jie didn't know was that the more he acted like a detached bachelor now, the more he was stirring Chu Mingyue's deepest true emotions, having the opposite effect.

"Xu Jie, have you thought about how you're going to break through your realm?"

Surprisingly, after Xu Jie simply described his strength, Chu Mingyue chose to believe him without hesitation, not questioning him at all.

From this, it could be seen that Chu Mingyue's pet-like attributes were beginning to show.

And while bandaging his wound, she asked about Xu Jie's breakthrough in a concerned tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Huh? You don't know?"

Chu Mingyue paused, leaning forward incredulously, extending her head towards Xu Jie's face to explain.

"The more times a Martial Artist goes through Blood Moving, the harder it is to break through to the Pulse Opening Realm because the blood becomes too condensed. And going through Blood Moving nine times means that breaking through to the Pulse Opening Realm will be much more difficult than a third-grade breaking through to the fourth-grade!"

Is that so?

Xu Jie showed a pensive expression. He had indeed discovered this when he sought to break through using his lifespan.

"Xu Jie, I can help you!"

At this moment, Chu Mingyue stared intently into Xu Jie's eyes, her beautiful eyes shining, and said earnestly and sincerely.

"I'll gather the pills for you. No matter how many Pulse Breaking Pills you need, I can help you get them. At worst... at worst, I'll beg my mother!"

Xu Jie glanced at Chu Mingyue, whose pretty face showed a conflicted expression, and shook his head, refusing.

"No need!"

Xu Jie was already on the verge of breaking through. If Chu Mingyue hadn't suddenly entered the infirmary, and if he had a few more minutes, he might have successfully entered the Pulse Opening Realm.

"Xu Jie!"

When Chu Mingyue heard Xu Jie refuse her again, she felt both wronged and indignant. She couldn't help but exaggerate the seriousness of the matter.

"Do you know that without sufficient resources, relying solely on your own cultivation to break through the Pulse Opening Realm will waste at least decades of time! You are at the very beginning of your martial path, the time when your cultivation speed is fastest. Are you really sure you want to waste your talent just for your pride?"

"..."

Damn pride!

I can break through myself!

Xu Jie rolled his eyes and said calmly to Chu Mingyue, who looked indignant as if he had cheated on her.

"No need!"

"Hmph!"

Chu Mingyue was furious and immediately stopped bandaging Xu Jie's wound. She got off the bed and left, displaying her usual temper.

After opening the door, Chu Mingyue waited for a long time but didn't hear Xu Jie try to stop her. So, she stood at the doorway and said coldly.

"Xu Jie, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

"???"

What does that mean?

Even with Xu Jie's abnormal thought process, he was stunned by Chu Mingyue's irrelevant question.

Chu Mingyue, with her back to Xu Jie, showed a hint of shyness and anticipation, as if waiting for something.

Xu Jie gradually understood, and his expression suddenly changed, his face filled with shock.

Could this woman be expecting him to ask those kinds of questions like he did during their previous two meetings?

"Want to do!" "Do you want to?"

I'm numb!

And it feels like it's about to recognize me as its master!

"No, you can go now!"

"You... Hmph!"

Furious, Chu Mingyue slammed the door shut and left.

Xu Jie, who was sitting on the bed, had just breathed a sigh of relief when the infirmary door was suddenly pushed open again with a bang.

Chu Mingyue strode towards a surprised Xu Jie with a cold expression on her pretty face, wearing high heels, giving him the urge to jump out the window and escape.

Has the pet attribute completely erupted?

I really need to run!

Xu Jie felt his scalp tingle. He wasn't afraid of any battle in his life. Even if gods from the Outer Regions came today, he could stand and laugh as he died, never taking a single step back.

But now…

Xu Jie was actually a little scared of Chu Mingyue!

Because Xu Jie wasn't an S-class!

As Xu Jie tensed up, Chu Mingyue came to his side, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and then…

She casually picked up the sable fur coat from the chair, wrapped herself up like a zongzi, and left.

So close!

He couldn't stay at this school any longer!

Xu Jie, covered in cold sweat, thought he needed to leave the school quickly, otherwise he would eventually fall victim to Chu Mingyue's poisonous hands and persecution.

After putting on his clothes and leaving the infirmary, Xu Jie walked back to the dormitory with a frown.

He had just remembered not long ago that junior students at the Martial Arts University couldn't easily leave school.

This meant he couldn't go out and stop eating cilantro!

On the way, Xu Jie's steps suddenly stopped, his expression changing slightly as he listened to the voice coming from the school's loudspeaker.

"I am now announcing good news to all students. The Martial Department high-level has decided to send an assessment team. They will be coming to our school soon for a qualification assessment. Those who pass can graduate early and enroll in a higher learning institution for further studies!"

"According to regulations, starting today, the ranking battles and practical combat tests will be closed, and all students currently outside will be recalled. Students on the ranking list are advised to focus on breaking through their realms. Information related to the assessment team will be announced by the school on its official website..."

"Announcing again..."

Upon hearing the sudden bad news, Xu Jie quickly opened the school's official website and saw the assessment content released by the assessment team.

Qualifications, talent, and realm!

The Martial Department would assess these three aspects, with ten points for each. The top three individuals with the highest scores could graduate early and enter a higher learning institution for further studies!

Xu Jie naturally wanted to graduate early…

After all, the reason the Martial Department sent an assessment team to Jinwu University was likely because of him!

If he couldn't pass the assessment by then, it would be a huge embarrassment.

The reason Xu Jie thought this way was simple, and it had to do with the three assessment criteria.

Among them, the qualification assessment was innate.

Xu Jie's qualifications were known when he enrolled in the martial arts school. Calculated by points, he could get at most three points, placing him in the lower-middle tier.

Therefore, the only aspects he could compete for were the latter two assessments.

The talent assessment could be understood as how many times one had moved blood in the Blood Moving Realm, or how many meridians one had opened in the Pulse Opening Realm, and so on.

Xu Jie should get full marks for this without any surprises!

Finally, there was the realm assessment, which referred to the student's current cultivation level!

Xu Jie couldn't guarantee this…

Because he didn't have as many cultivation resources as others.

The students on the ranking list came from wealthy families, and some even worked as mercenaries outside.

As long as they broke through to the Pulse Opening Realm, these people could break through consecutive levels in a short period.

They might even use elixirs to break through to the middle or even high stages of the Pulse Opening Realm.

If that happened, and Xu Jie gained no points in the realm assessment, coupled with his poor qualifications, he might really fail the assessment!
