The Dan River was a tributary of the Yonghuai River. Under normal circumstances, its water volume was not great.

However, when the Yonghuai River entered flood season, the Dan River would rise with it.

During the farming season, the people needed the Dan River's water for irrigation, but when flood season came, they all feared its waters.

During flood season, households living by the river would move away in advance, heading into the mountains or elsewhere to avoid being submerged by the floodwaters.

After leaving Anyuan Town, Shi Yi spent less than half a day reaching the Dan River.

The final exams were tomorrow, so he planned to settle the matter of his household registration first.

Because of the flooding, there were many places along the Dan River that handled household registration matters. The Dan River was no small river, and the people living nearby were scattered far and wide; a single place simply could not manage them all.

Some people fled into the mountains or elsewhere when the river rose during flood season. Once it was over, they found their former homes gone, so they went to nearby villages to reissue their household registrations.

Most people used travel permits to have them reissued.

Shi Yi chose Jiantou Village because, as far as he knew, it was simpler to reissue one's registration in villages like this.

After Shi Yi arrived in Jiantou Village and explained his identity and purpose, the village chief helped him complete the household registration reissue before long. At the same time, he obtained the documents needed to transfer his registration.

It cost Shi Yi one or two taels of silver, which was rather expensive. But they had handled it for him that very day. Otherwise, following the normal process, taking two or three days was perfectly normal. If they deliberately dragged their feet, it would take even longer.

This was also why Lu Feng had specifically told him to seek him out if he had any problems when Shi Yi left Anyang Martial Arts School.

However, Shi Yi knew that money could make ghosts turn millstones. For the sake of efficiency, spending a little money meant nothing to him.

Once the registration reissue and transfer were settled, Shi Yi entered the mountains, found a concealed spot on high ground, set up an Anchor Point, and left!

Blue Star.

"Things went even more smoothly than I expected. But that works out nicely. I'll focus on taking my exams properly over the next two days."

Shi Yi's body had changed greatly over the past few days, but he was not worried about it.

At his age, he was already in the midst of growing. Every so often, major changes would naturally occur.

His body becoming sturdier was not much of a problem.

That was the advantage of living alone. No one would constantly watch his every change.

"After my martial cultivation broke through to the Blood Essence Realm, the effects of the Four Levels Body Solidifying Stance, Jiazi Tianchen, and Ruowang Suitian in increasing Blood Essence have weakened considerably."

"According to what I previously learned from Zhao Cheng, cultivation in the Blood Essence Realm is about increasing Blood Essence and strengthening the body, laying the foundation for subsequent Skin and Flesh Refinement."

"There are still three moves in the Blood Essence Chapter of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist. Only by combining them all can one form the complete Blood Essence Chapter, which can be cultivated to the limit of the Blood Essence Realm."

Shi Yi had learned quite a bit about cultivation from Zhao Cheng, especially regarding the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist. Zhao Cheng had basically told him everything.

As for the subsequent moves, Zhao Cheng told him not to rush. Once he broke through to the Blood Essence Realm, he would teach them to him.

Shi Yi had probed indirectly, asking to see the moves in advance, but Zhao Cheng had refused. He said that coming into contact with them too early would do him no good.

Forcing himself to cultivate them would instead affect his cultivation, so Zhao Cheng refused.

After hearing that, Shi Yi did not continue trying.

Making his intentions too obvious would not be a good thing either.

The Four Levels Body Solidifying Stance, Jiazi Tianchen, and Ruowang Suitian could also increase Blood Essence and strengthen the body, but without the coordination of the latter three moves, their effects were somewhat weaker.

"I wonder whether the technique section on the Double Pupils panel still hasn't appeared because the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist is incomplete, or for some other reason?"

Shi Yi had no answer to that question for the time being.

Although he still had the techniques of the Five Tigers Gang in his hands, he could not fully understand them for now, so he did not choose to cultivate them.

Choosing to cultivate while only half understanding could cause problems.

Practicing a technique incorrectly could lead to trouble. He was not confident that he could gain benefits from a muddled technique.

He had only just begun to come into contact with martial cultivation. Taking it one step at a time with his feet firmly on the ground was the most suitable choice.

Anlan First High School.

This was Shi Yi's school, and also a famous key high school in Blue Sky City.

Shi Yi had entered it with the top score.

When Shi Yi's exam results came out back then, several high schools in the city had competed to take him as a student.

Even knowing that Shi Yi had White Eye Disease could not dampen their enthusiasm in the slightest.

Shi Yi ultimately chose Anlan First High School not because it was famous, but because it was close to where he lived and had agreed to let him skip regular classes.

Of course, the school had conditions as well. Shi Yi had to come take the final exams, and his grades could not fall below the top twenty in his year.

Shi Yi agreed.

For the past two years of high school, he had only come in for the final exams.

Today was no exception.

Shi Yi got up early, changed into his school uniform, hung his student ID around his neck, put on sunglasses, slung on his backpack, and rode his bicycle to Anlan First High School.

He had now grown accustomed to wearing the special contact lenses. From other people's perspective, there was basically no sign that anything was wrong with his eyes.

However, Shi Yi's attire when coming to school remained the same as before. He had no plans to change it.

Although wearing sunglasses might draw some strange looks, he had long since grown used to it.

Shi Yi knew the power of the Double Pupils. He had long stopped viewing them as an illness or a burden; instead, he regarded them as his glory, the key to achieving his path toward transcendence.

His state of mind had changed greatly from before.

The reason he continued wearing sunglasses now was merely to reduce some trouble.

Otherwise, if the school and his family learned of his circumstances, they might make Shi Yi attend school normally like the other students. That was not something Shi Yi wished to see.

Just like before, he would come to study and take the exams, then return to his former life once they were over.

For the time being, Shi Yi did not want his life on Blue Star to undergo any major changes.

Over the next year, he planned to focus mainly on the Central Great World.

The gate to the path of transcendence had opened for him. Naturally, he had to walk through it and encounter more.

Anlan First High School also had day students, so it was perfectly normal for Shi Yi to ride his bicycle inside. Only the sunglasses made him look a little strange.

The security guard at the school gate merely gave him a curious glance and did not stop him.

The school uniform on Shi Yi's body and the student ID hanging around his neck were enough to prove that he was a student of Anlan First High School.

Class 311—this was Shi Yi's class. Coming in during the morning did not mean going straight to the exams. They first had morning self-study, and only after it ended would they head to their respective examination rooms.

The desks in the classroom had all been cleared clean, because their class was also one of the examination rooms.

Shi Yi went to the desk against the wall at the very back and sat down.

Cleaning tools such as brooms were stored behind it. It was also his seat.

Whenever the class rearranged seats, the homeroom teacher would send photos of the new seating arrangement to the group chat for the parents to see.

Therefore, Shi Yi knew his seat very clearly.

He would only use this seat for the morning and noon self-study sessions over these two days. As for evening self-study, he did not need to attend it. Once the exams were over, he could go home!
