Precious Gift, Breaking Through to Second Tier!

Shi Yan sat down cross-legged in his private meditation room and, following the method taught by Zhang Yunya, dripped blood onto the ring in his hand to recognize it as his master.

In the two and a half months, Senior had taught him many practical things.

Soon, his spiritual power surged into the bronze ring in his hand, completing the final step.

The next moment, he was surprised to find that the ancient ring had disappeared.

He could still feel it, but it was invisible to the naked eye. It had become stealthy!

This was amazing. In the future, when he went out, it would greatly reduce the attention of those with ill intentions.

After all, wealth moves people's hearts.

However, the ring's invisibility was just a small surprise. When his consciousness entered the ring, he almost cried out in shock.

Inside was a gray, square space, twenty meters long, wide, and high.

Eight thousand cubic meters!

The next second, Shi Yan tapped his wristband, searching for the value of a space ring of this magnitude.

After browsing, there was no mention of the eight-thousand-cubic-meter scale. Most were speculations. The only one with specific data that could be verified was a space ring auctioned in Kyoto three years ago.

That space ring had a capacity of one thousand cubic meters and was sold for 1.1 billion Huaxia currency.

"I owe a huge favor..."

One thousand cubic meters was already so expensive, let alone eight thousand. It was probably impossible to buy with money.

The larger the capacity of such an item, the more difficult it was to stabilize the space. An eight-thousand-cubic-meter capacity was definitely not something that could be mass-produced.

First, the SS-Class Breathing Technique, and now a rare space ring, both from Fang Ziwei. He didn't know how he would ever repay her.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much. He had come here to become stronger. He needed to improve his own strength first before he could even consider repaying favors.

He picked up the dark red, advanced Body Tempering Medicine. With a thought, he increased his Blood Essence to 99 cards.

99 cards was the limit for a First-Order Warrior.

At this moment, he vaguely felt his body touch a barrier, but it wasn't strong. It was the kind that would break with a single touch.

"Breakthrough, Second Tier!"

Immediately after, one hundred Martial Virtue Points turned into one point of Blood Essence, making his Blood Essence data reach 100 cards.

A feeling of sudden clarity washed over him. Shi Yan felt a mysterious power flowing through his limbs and bones, nourishing his body.

As expected, his physical strength had increased!

The impact of the advanced Body Tempering Medicine was even more terrifying. Shi Yan's goal in advancing to the Second Tier was to be able to withstand the medicinal impact, and at the same time, a stronger body would absorb the medicinal power more quickly.

"Here goes nothing!"

He opened the cap and drank the dark red medicinal liquid in one gulp.

It erupted in his body like a flood, a force that threatened to blow him apart surged through every part of his body.

It was even more terrifying than the first time he took the intermediate Body Tempering Medicine. Not only did his skin crack, but blood also flowed from his seven orifices, and his whole body swelled by a circle. His facial features bulged, making him look terrifying.

"Southern Bright Blazing Fire!"

Just like last time, Shi Yan activated his Supernatural Ability in time.

The terrifying medicinal power began to be refined, and the powerful impact gradually weakened, turning into a trickle that nourished his body and repaired the cracked areas...

First floor of the villa.

After tidying up the kitchen waste, Li Tao slumped onto the sofa, letting out a long sigh.

But when he saw Ding Le, who was applying medicine, he put on a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Ding Le, have you considered changing dorms?"

He had a vague feeling that this dorm would become restless because of Shi Yan's presence.

It was only the first day, and one was black and blue, while the other was knocked unconscious.

And as the weakest in the dorm, he would be the one constantly cleaning up the "mess" for these three in the future.

For example, the damaged lawn in the yard. Shi Yan, as the boss, would definitely not deal with it. Lei Gang was even less likely to; with his temper, it would be good if he didn't start a fire. Ding Le, with his潔癖 (cleanliness obsession), wouldn't touch it either.

That left only him.

"Li Tao, you're too shallow. You want to run away after being beaten once? You might as well not have come to Magic Martial University."

Ding Le, while grunting and applying medicine, looked down on Li Tao.

The path of martial arts was inherently bumpy. Retreating at the first sign of an obstacle was not his character.

Even though he had surrendered to Shi Yan before, he would still fight Shi Yan after adjusting his state.

"Oh, I didn't expect your ideological awareness to be so good. The damaged ground in the yard will be your responsibility." Li Tao said, leaning back on the sofa with his hands behind his head.

"Not a chance."

Ding Le naturally refused, but when he raised his eyes and scanned the room on the right side of the second floor, he fell silent.

"I think we should buy a robot to do the chores, that way we'll have more time to cultivate," Shi Yan said.

After speaking, he nodded, completely agreeing with his own opinion.

It was only because he had a premonition that if he didn't do the chores, Shi Yan would beat him until he did.

"A robot? Forget it," Li Tao shook his head. "To prevent leaks, outside robots can't come in, and robots at Magic Martial University start at 8,000 academic credits. Do you have that many credits?"

"Academic credits..."

Ding Le was stunned, then thought of something and looked up, pointing at Shi Yan's residence.

Shi Yan had credits, and he didn't know if he had 8,000, but even if he didn't, Shi Yan could earn them quickly.

With Shi Yan's strength far surpassing his peers, he could earn a lot of credits.

"That seems feasible."

Li Tao's eyes lit up. Magic Martial University had several freshman rankings, and Shi Yan could go and brush them.

He didn't need to aim for third or fifth place, just getting on the list would earn him academic credits.

Also, freshmen had special missions they could accept. They could go and take on missions together, and earn credits upon completion.

"Come on, let's go gather some intel. Some freshmen should be starting to brush for credits now." Li Tao stood up, wanting to act, but was met with Ding Le's resentful expression.

"Do you think I can walk much in this state?"

"You can't even handle being thrown around a couple of times?"

"Damn it, you let Shi Yan throw you around!"

Ding Le threw a pillow at Li Tao. Li Tao dodged with a laugh and then quickly left the villa.

"Hiss~"

Ding Le, who was pretending to chase, aggravated his injuries, causing him to gasp in pain. In the end, he could only obediently sit down and apply medicine.

It didn't hurt much when Shi Yan beat him earlier, but now that he was resting, the pain surged like a tide.

Fortunately, thinking of Lei Gang being knocked unconscious brought him some comfort.

A few minutes after applying the medicine, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.

After traveling thousands of miles to Magic Martial University, and then being beaten by Shi Yan again, it was no wonder he was tired.

After an unknown amount of time, Ding Le woke up when he felt a pat on his shoulder.

"Who!"

Ding Le was about to lash out, as he liked to be clean and didn't allow anyone to touch him.

However, when he saw that it was Shi Yan, he immediately became docile, with even a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, you seem different!"

Soon, Ding Le noticed that Shi Yan had changed... he had become stronger!

It wasn't the powerful Blood Essence of a First-Order warrior, but a strength on another level. He had seen this aura before, on Second Tier martial artists in his family.

"You, you're Second Tier!?"

Ding Le's eyes widened. Didn't he say he was going upstairs to meditate? How did he become a Second Tier martial artist?

Shi Yan smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

After looking around, he asked, "Where's Li Tao?"

"He..."

Ding Le was about to answer when he heard movement outside. A moment later, the door was opened.

Then, the two of them saw a bruised and battered Li Tao.

Especially on Li Tao's face, a clear handprint was visible.

"Who did this?"
