--Low Martial Achievement System--

[Constitution: Mortal Body (Grade B)] [Talent: Primitive] [Cultivation Methods] Star Martial Cultivation Method: Great Accomplishment (41%) [Achievements] Martial Arts Grandmaster, Friend of the Ancestor, Martial Arts Grandmaster, Red Face Seeks the Way, Wind-Following Ear, Gale Step [Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder] First Tier

"The path to perfection is already halfway there." Jiang Ye relaxed his body.

Half a year ago, he could never have imagined this scene.

Back then, Jiang Ye hadn't even broken through to the minor accomplishment stage of his cultivation method.

In just half a year, from minor accomplishment to the verge of perfection?

This cultivation speed was something even students in the Key Class probably hadn't envisioned.

"During this period, besides my own efforts, the key was my teacher's guidance and that thirty thousand yuan."

The thirty thousand yuan Chen Zilu gave him was like timely rain.

Thanks to this, he could supplement himself with Leopard Gallbladder, and even Tiger Gallbladder, every day this month.

Even students in the Key Class might not have access to such conditions.

"However, compared to rich people like Zhao Qingli, I'm still far too behind," Jiang Ye sighed.

He had only spent thirty thousand this month, and could only afford it for one month.

But she could spend a hundred thousand every month.

Still, Jiang Ye didn't care.

He couldn't compare in terms of wealth, but he had a cheat!

The buffs he had on him weren't strong enough yet, but as his strength grew, he would gain more achievement buffs.

By then, any martial arts prodigy or peerless genius would be crushed by him!

"Let's rest for a bit."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes slightly. He had barely slept this past month, spending his days cultivating and honing himself in the illusionary realm.

With the trial approaching, it was time to relax.

The next morning.

Jiang Ye woke up in bed, clutching his head. "Damn it, when did..."

Last night, he had only intended to close his eyes for a short rest, but he ended up sleeping until dawn.

The worst part was that this sleep had brought back that nightmare.

The young man who was possibly his biological father.

And that golden palace called 'Star Sea Divine Path'.

"Star Sea Divine Path, what kind of place is that?"

Jiang Ye recalled the palace from his dream. After the young man entered the palace, he, as a child, was seemingly abandoned and left at the palace gates.

But the beginning of the dream didn't feel like his father abandoning him.

There were many hazy fragments in the dream, intermittent and missing many crucial parts, making him want to explore further.

Unfortunately, he didn't care about his so-called background, nor did he want to delve deeper.

"I won't sleep anymore. I'll stay in the illusionary realm at night. Not only will I not have nightmares, but I'll also wake up refreshed the next day,"

Jiang Ye resolved inwardly.

"I should head to school."

He got up and walked out of the room. After washing up and eating, he set off for school.

"Brother, good luck!"

Before he left, Jiang Ting suddenly ran out from the doorway.

"You're awake?" Jiang Ye was a little surprised.

"Hehe." Jiang Ting grinned at him. "I specifically remembered today's date. Brother is going to the trial."

Jiang Ye had indeed been talking about it every day this month.

The little girl didn't understand what the trial was, but she knew that anything her brother talked about for a whole month must be very important.

"Silly girl, go back to sleep." Jiang Ye chuckled, shaking his head, and rubbed her fair, tender little face before turning to leave.

Ancheng Third Middle School.

During the summer break, the campus was silent.

But today, quite a few figures were moving around the campus.

As soon as Jiang Ye entered the school, he saw a familiar figure.

"Li Zhichao?"

He called out to the person not far away.

When the other party turned around, Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback.

A month had passed, and Li Zhichao's physique had become even more robust. Veins bulged all over his body, and his muscles were knotted. Standing there, he exuded an imposing aura.

Only his head, whether due to visual perception or not, seemed to be getting sharper.

"Jiang Ye."

Li Zhichao walked over with a confident smile on his face.

"How was this past month? Has your cultivation been going smoothly?" Li Zhichao looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye nodded and said, "It's okay. How about you?"

"I've improved a lot this month."

Li Zhichao revealed a smile and said, "This month, I broke the previous limit of two injections a week. Now, I can do three injections a week!"

He held his head high, his eyes shining with confidence.

Three injections of the medicine a week!

This had brought about a considerable transformation to his body in a short period.

Li Zhichao was determined to succeed in the upcoming trial.

"..."

Jiang Ye was speechless for a while, then said, "Didn't Teacher Chen tell you about the side effects of the injections?"

Li Zhichao shook his head. "How can the path of a strong person be without cost? These side effects mean nothing to me."

"What about you? Haven't you been taking injections this month?"

He looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye shook his head. "I haven't been taking any injections."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhichao smiled and shook his head.

"You, my friend, are still being stubborn, aren't you?"

"Taking injections isn't something shameful. Forget it. Since you didn't take any injections this month, I wish you success in passing this trial."

Li Zhichao sighed and shook his head.

For him, he actually hoped to have a classmate in the class who could keep up with him, which would further stimulate his potential.

But if Jiang Ye didn't continue taking injections, he was destined to be left behind.

Jiang Ye didn't say anything further. He believed that Chen Zilu had also told Li Zhichao about the dangers of the injections.

But since the other party had chosen this path, there was nothing to be done.

Everyone had their own destiny, and there was no need to interfere forcefully.

The two walked side by side towards the trial location.

The location for this trial was the spherical building from the previous Virtual Starry Sky assessment.

Spherical Building, Lobby.

Quite a few people had already arrived and were standing in the lobby, waiting for the trial to begin.

When Jiang Ye entered, he noticed that there were surprisingly many first-year students.

This was easy to identify; they could be distinguished by their school uniforms.

Ancheng Third Middle School's school uniforms were different for first, second, and third years.

Moreover, the uniforms for the regular classes and the Key Classes were also different. The uniforms for the Key Classes were usually well-made and custom-made.

The uniforms for the regular classes were very plain, designed entirely to prevent early romance.

"First-year students? They're all from the Key Class."

Jiang Ye looked around, not surprised.

This trial was the lowest level of trial, open to anyone who had achieved great success in their cultivation methods.

The Key Class students achieved this in their first year, thus meeting the requirements.

Of course, there were some second-year students who came, but their numbers were very small. Geniuses at the top of their grade would generally not participate in such low-level trials.

"Li Zhichao, you're here too?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Ye turned his head and saw a boy with a peculiar appearance walking toward them.

The person's head was huge, almost as wide as his shoulders, making his proportions look very strange.

Upon seeing the person, Li Zhichao frowned slightly.

"Lin Xuan? Aren't you from Ancheng First Middle School? What are you doing here?"

Ancheng First Middle School was the top-ranked Key Class high school in Ancheng, far superior to Ancheng Third Middle School.

Jiang Ye had heard that it was a tradition at Ancheng First Middle School for students in regular classes to bow and greet students from the Key Class.

The motivational school rule of Ancheng First Middle School was that the strong must severely humiliate the weak.

The large-headed boy named Lin Xuan smiled and said, "As a representative from the first year of Ancheng First Middle School, I was invited to participate in the trial."

He then looked at Jiang Ye, who was beside him.

"Is this your classmate? He looks like he's from a regular class?"

Lin Xuan chuckled, "Chaozi, you're no good. In our Tianlong Residential Area, you're the only one who hasn't gotten into a Key Class."

"You're still hanging out with people from regular classes. If this keeps up, I'll be too embarrassed to say you're my neighbor in the future."

He then looked at Jiang Ye again and said, "Classmate, I don't mean anything personal against you, don't misunderstand."

Tianlong Residential Area was a well-known affluent neighborhood in Ancheng.

This Lin Xuan, like Li Zhichao, was clearly the child of wealthy parents.

This person didn't know Jiang Ye at all, so he wasn't deliberately targeting Jiang Ye, but rather indiscriminately looking down on all regular classes.

However, at this moment.

Jiang Ye paid no attention to what the other person was saying. Instead, he stared at Lin Xuan's enormous head and curiously asked, "Did you drink too much Sanlu milk powder when you were little?"
