Ying Cong's Uneasy Suspicion, Vitality Enhancement Plan

"Today I'm really delighted, ah, so delighted..."

Humming a little tune.

A hook-nosed man drove one-handed toward the tender nest of his secret villa.

Just thinking about the rewards that were about to be handed out made him unable to contain his excitement.

"Hehe, little bitch, tonight I'll let you have a taste of my greatness..."

A lewd smile unconsciously spread across the hook-nosed man's face.

"Bzz, bzz, bzz..."

Suddenly, the hook-nosed man's Martial Artist Watch vibrated.

"Who is it, daring to disturb my refined pleasure?"

The hook-nosed man frowned, but when he saw the caller information on his Martial Artist Watch.

Screech!

He slammed on the brakes.

The tires scraped against the ground, leaving behind more than ten meters of charred-black marks.

Even the dust and smoke kicked up by the friction billowed around him, making him want to cough.

But he had no time to care about any of that.

He hurriedly got out of the car and stood respectfully, as obedient and well-behaved as an elementary school student meeting their parent.

Then, he quickly accepted the call.

"Principal..."

The watch projected a half-body hologram in front of him.

Yet it still displayed the other party's towering, powerful frame.

Though the projection was small, Ying Cong felt his palms sweating.

It was as though Mount Tai were pressing down upon his head, burdening him with immense pressure.

This man was none other than the vice principal of Jiangnan Martial University, a Martial Dao Expert of the Mountain Sea Realm from the Giant Elephant lineage—Xiang Shan!

His nature was clear-cut in love and hate, domineering, and fiercely protective of his own.

"Mhm. You are Ying Cong, the supervising teacher in charge of this year's Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp?"

Xiang Shan's voice was rough, revealing neither pleasure nor anger.

Hearing that, Ying Cong's uneasy heart relaxed considerably.

Because this year's Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp under his charge had produced a genius girl with S-rank Spiritual Aptitude, whom he had signed with a B-Rank Cultivation Contract.

One had to know that many Martial Warriors with S-rank Spiritual Aptitude applied to Huaxia's three top Martial Universities.

And he had secured one for Jiangnan Martial University.

Ying Cong had rendered merit this year.

Could it be that even the vice principal had learned of this matter?

And had personally come to inquire about it?

At that thought, Ying Cong could not help becoming excited.

If this matter allowed him to win the vice principal's favor.

Then perhaps his greatest gain from this year's Trial Camp would not simply be discovering a genius girl with S-rank Spiritual Aptitude.

He might even climb a high branch.

"Yes, Principal. This subordinate oversaw our university's special-channel admissions work in full this year and achieved rather good results. In particular, there was a girl named Jin Lian..."

Ying Cong told himself that he had to stay calm.

At the same time, he could not help claiming credit.

"Enough. Let me ask you this: was there a student named Ye Fan in this year's Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp?"

But before Ying Cong could finish introducing his proudest achievement.

Xiang Shan rudely cut him off.

He directly asked about Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan... Mm... Reporting to the Principal, there was indeed such a person."

Unable to grasp Xiang Shan's purpose, Ying Cong nodded lightly.

"How was this boy?"

Xiang Shan continued asking.

Could he be Vice Principal Xiang Shan's illegitimate son?

Ying Cong remembered that Ye Fan was also tall and powerfully built.

But on second thought, he felt that was impossible.

After all, if Ye Fan were Xiang Shan's son, why would he need to go through so much trouble?

What an extraordinarily privileged background would the descendant of a Mountain Sea Realm expert possess? Would he need to take the Trial Camp route?

"This boy was rotten wood that could not be carved.

After several months in the Trial Camp, he had consumed quite a few of our supplementary potions.

Yet he had not displayed even the slightest spiritual aptitude.

He simply wasted Jiangnan Martial University's resources.

"So this subordinate drove him out of the Trial Camp.

"I even ordered him to compensate Jiangnan Martial University two hundred thousand Huaxia Coins in trial expenses within a set deadline."

Ying Cong spoke indignantly.

"You fool!"

Hearing this, Xiang Shan could no longer hold himself back.

It really was this blind fool who had driven that little fellow from the Starry Sky Combat Network out of Jiangnan Martial University!

Were it not for the fact that this was a communication call, Xiang Shan would have had the urge to punch this so-called clever Ying Cong!

Ying Cong's head buzzed from Xiang Shan's thunderous rage.

"It was the Ye Fan you called rotten wood that could not be carved.

Tonight, on the Starry Sky Combat Network's Bronze Warrior rank, he successfully advanced to the Golden Commander rank with the terrifying record of thirty consecutive victories!

"Not only that, in the Bronze Warrior promotion match, he encountered this year's Jiangnan Province Martial Unification College Entrance Examination seeded contender—and defeated him at the Bronze Tier!

"You fucking told me that kid was trash?"

Xiang Shan roared, sounding as though he wanted to devour someone alive.

Seeing Ying Cong's blank, foolish expression, he wanted nothing more than to stomp him to death.

Ye Fan?

Thirty consecutive victories?

Defeating a province-wide seeded contender for the Martial Unification College Entrance Examination?

Even he, a Martial Warrior at the Spirit Stream Realm Peak Stage, might not necessarily be able to accomplish that.

After all, who knew whether some monstrous genius had been playing the pig to eat the tiger, starting from the Bronze Warrior rank?

And such a genius likely already showed signs of entering the Huaxia Young Dragon Ranking.

How could he possibly be that youth who had nearly knelt before him the other day, begging so bitterly?

Had Vice Principal Xiang Shan not said it personally, Ying Cong would probably have laughed his teeth out.

He might even have sprayed Xiang Shan to death with ridicule!

"Reporting to the Principal, this subordinate believes that is absolutely impossible.

I am willing to guarantee it with my life.

The Ye Fan who joined Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp this year was trash.

Just days ago, that Ye Fan had been trash with a Vitality Value of no more than fifty.

"How could he possibly accomplish the feat you described, Principal?!"

"It must be a misunderstanding!"

Ying Cong said with utter certainty.

Hearing Ying Cong offer his life as a guarantee, Xiang Shan on the other end of the call also began to have doubts.

"Fine. You had better pray it isn't. Otherwise, I'll twist your head off."

"I'll send you Ye Fan's information from the Starry Sky Combat Network shortly. Investigate it for me."

"After verifying it, act immediately. Go to where his family lives through the special channel and sign him to Jiangnan Martial University's Class A Cultivation Contract!"

After saying that, Xiang Shan directly ended the call.

A gust of mountain wind swept past, and Ying Cong felt a chill around his backside.

It had merely been a projection, yet Xiang Shan had placed him under such immense pressure that sweat had soaked his entire body.

"Ye Fan, that piece of trash—how could it be possible? It must absolutely be someone with the same name."

"A Class A Cultivation Contract? Jiangnan Martial University had not encountered a genius like that in years."

Ying Cong shook his head with a bitter smile.

Then an image flashed through his mind.

It was the youth's arrogant words when he had left. Though disheveled, he had declared: "You will definitely regret this!"

All at once, Ying Cong became like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, growing uncertain and suspicious.

When Ye Fan stepped out of the Combat Trial Channel, he was greeted by the intellectual Mature Sister AI wearing half-rim glasses and a cheongsam.

Ye Fan did not know whether it was merely his imagination.

He felt that when the Mature Sister AI looked at him, her watery gaze had become a little gentler.

"Help me design a cultivation plan to raise my vitality."

"Do not worry about the cost. Give me the most efficient enhancement plan."

Ye Fan instructed the Mature Sister AI.

"Certainly, respected Martial Warrior Ye Fan. Please wait a moment."

"The Vitality Enhancement Plan specially tailored for you has three primary options..."
