Ye Xingli, Training Plan!

The delicately featured girl wore a school uniform. Her jade-like legs looked flawless beneath the sunlight, her skin as clean and pale as milk.

The moment she stepped out of the car, she drew the gazes of countless boys present.

Though she radiated an approachable air, she was simply too dazzling, making it hard for anyone to step forward.

Sometimes, being too beautiful made people stop in their tracks instead.

"It's Ye Xingli!"

Standing beside Su Ye, Zhang Yuan murmured in amazement.

"Ye Xingli of the Ye Family?"

Su Ye had naturally heard the name before. His gaze turned toward Ye Xingli as he carefully sized up the girl whose beauty had reached the utmost extreme.

In terms of appearance and temperament, Ye Xingli completely surpassed Lin Qingyue. Among all the people he had met, only Li Aoxue could compare.

"Yeah! Ye Xingli, the daughter favored by heaven!" Zhang Yuan nodded heavily.

A strange glint flashed through Su Ye's eyes and vanished.

Shenyun City's Four Great Families were no secret. On the contrary, many people knew of them.

Rumor had it that after the Spiritual Energy Revival more than 300 years ago, Shenyun City had suffered a Natural Disaster that caused countless deaths.

The Su Family, Lin Family, Ye Family, and Fang Family among the Four Great Families had all been established then, their histories stretching back more than three centuries.

Yet each family's path of development had been different.

The Su Family had remained strong all the way through, faintly bearing the title of foremost among the Four Great Families.

The Lin Family and Fang Family, meanwhile, had risen and fallen throughout those three hundred years, enduring countless hardships.

The Ye Family, however, was famous for its mystery—the most mysterious family among the Four Great Families.

Many had originally believed the Ye Family ranked last, but when Demon Beasts attacked eighteen years ago, the Ye Family dispatched three True Bone Realm experts to resist them, directly shocking all of Shenyun City.

Now, many believed the Ye Family possessed a Foundation and strength equal to the Su Family's.

"Ye Xingli, the Ye Family head's only daughter."

"She has status and beauty. The people who like her could fill our entire hallway."

Zhang Yuan sighed softly, unable to stop himself from shaking his head.

"And I heard her talent is terrifying!"

Su Ye was somewhat interested. "How terrifying?"

Zhang Yuan hesitated, glanced around, and only then lowered his voice.

"Brother Ye, you know my dad runs a pill business."

"Maybe our Foundation and strength aren't that great, but we have lots of clients, so our information network is extremely well-connected."

Su Ye nodded. That was true enough.

Zhang Yuan said, "I only heard this, just heard it!"

"The military has gathered a batch of the most exceptional Heavenly Chosen for training. It might include several nearby cities, and every person selected is an astonishing Heavenly Chosen."

"You've heard of Su Ling from the neighboring class, right, Brother Ye? Innate True Bone! He's destined to reach the Origin Fusion Realm in the future, and even the True Bone Realm won't be difficult for him!"

"He was selected for the training! He probably won't be here today!"

Su Ye raised his brows. This really was news to him.

Zhang Yuan continued.

"Only three people from our First High School were selected!"

"Besides Su Ling, there's Luo Ting from Class 1."

"And then there's this Young Miss Ye! But she's so mysterious—she actually refused the invitation! No one knows the specific reason!"

Su Ye fell into thought.

Suddenly, Ye Xingli's eyes flickered, as if stars had twinkled within them, and she looked in Su Ye's direction.

Their gazes met for a moment!

Ye Xingli blinked at Su Ye, then shifted her eyes away.

Su Ye had a feeling that she had been looking at him!

Is it because she knows I'm from the Su Family?

Zhang Yuan, meanwhile, grew excited. "Holy shit! Young Miss Ye seemed to look at me just now! Could she be interested in me?"

Su Ye was speechless. He smacked Zhang Yuan on the head and said irritably,

"Enough! We should head in!"

Class 6, Grade 12—this was Su Ye's class.

The moment he entered, he sensed the heated atmosphere in the air. Yet aside from that, some students looked confused and slightly depressed.

Su Ye sighed inwardly.

The Martial Path burned money, and it demanded talent even more!

It wasn't as though failing to enter the Martial Arts Class meant one could no longer cultivate martial arts.

Students in academic classes still cultivated martial arts alongside their studies, but the focus of their assessments and the martial arts resources they could compete for were naturally worlds apart.

After all, only a small number of people could temper a Martial Bone within a month.

Most people only managed to temper around one Martial Bone, while only the outstanding few could temper several.

Talent, resources, and perseverance—none could be lacking!

Su Ye swept his gaze across the room. He saw several people with their heads raised like roosters, brimming with energy, their voices obviously much louder as they spoke.

"Out of a class of fifty, perhaps only around ten managed to temper Martial Bones in such a short time?"

Su Ye remained silent.

Several people had gathered around Fang Yuan, talking with him as though he were a celebrity.

Many girls in the class also looked at Fang Yuan with shining eyes and faintly flushed faces.

As a descendant of the Four Great Families and someone blessed with extraordinary talent, Fang Yuan naturally attracted these girls.

The homeroom teacher was a middle-aged man with a stern air about him. He entered, swept his gaze across the room, and gave a dry cough. All the students immediately returned to their seats and fell silent.

"Alright! Those who have tempered Martial Bones and gained entry into the Breathing Technique, get ready!"

"In ten minutes, you'll come with me to the indoor Martial Arts Arena for the placement assessment."

He looked at the students who had lowered their heads in frustration, raising his voice.

"Students who failed to temper Martial Bones, don't lose heart!"

"All roads lead to Rome. Humanity's progress does not rest solely on the Martial Path!"

"What's more, you've only failed to enter the Martial Arts Class. This year, your studies will focus on academic subjects! But if you rise later and catch up after entering university, you can still transfer majors!"

"Take Ma Teng, one of our nation's Twin Horse Martial Gods. Back then, after graduating from an academic class, he carved out his Martial Path step by step!"

The comforting words had quite a good effect. Many students immediately looked much better, determination flashing in their eyes.

If one could pursue the Martial Path, who wouldn't want to?

It meant power, status, and even lifespan!

"Alright, qualified students, come out and line up with me!"

The homeroom teacher shouted loudly, sweeping his gaze over the many youthful faces in the class.

This assessment was not only for class placement, but also to determine the top ten. More importantly, it was the school's evaluation of every cohort's overall level, making it extremely important.

At the teacher's words, twelve students immediately rose to their feet!

They drew the attention of everyone in the class!

Their gazes were filled with emotions such as envy, jealousy, and longing.

"I really envy you, Su Ye!"

The deskmate beside him looked at Su Ye with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

He clearly remembered Su Ye saying just a week ago that he had not yet tempered a Martial Bone.

Yet in that final week, he had managed to do it!

His own family had gritted their teeth and bought ten Bone Tempering Pills. He had taken every one of them, but still felt like he was just short.

"Just luck," Su Ye replied helplessly. Then he followed the homeroom teacher out into the hallway to line up and head for the indoor Martial Arts Arena.

The instant he entered the indoor Martial Arts Arena, Su Ye fixed his eyes ahead.

"Just as Zhang Yuan said, this year's competition is intense. Quite a few people have tempered Martial Bones!"

The venue was already packed with students. Judging by each class's Combat Strength, Su Ye roughly estimated there were at least four hundred of them!

And among them stood a girl who towered above the rest like a crane among chickens, staring coldly at Su Ye.

Lin Qingyue!
