August 31st.

In the room.

A young man with clear eyes and a bright expression was dancing, his upper body bare.

Though young, the lines of his body were exceptionally well-proportioned, his muscles firm, giving him an air of heroic spirit rather than immaturity.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the young man threw a punch.

The punch exploded!

All of the young man's energy seemed contained within this single punch, thrown straight out with a pressure akin to thunder.

"Boom!"

A deep thunderous sound suddenly rang out.

Faintly, it seemed like sound waves rippled outward.

Swish~!

The next moment, the curtains several meters away seemed to be affected by the sound waves, fluttering.

Even the window let out a creaking, vibrating sound.

"So strong."

Jiang Ye stopped his movements and stood, observing the 'destructive power' he had generated.

This was from several meters away, able to affect the window through the air.

If it landed directly on someone, it would be enough to damage their internal organs.

"Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist, it truly is a killing technique."

Jiang Ye let out a long breath and looked at his status panel.

First Tier

--

This month, he had spent all thirty thousand yuan from the trial.

He had been consuming martial arts nourishing food daily.

The results were evident.

Not only was the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist nearing mastery, but the Star Martial Cultivation Method had also improved by nearly 20%.

"Within the first semester of my senior year, the cultivation method must reach Perfection." This was the goal Jiang Ye had set for himself.

As for the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist? He could only leave it to fate.

Don't be fooled by how fast he was cultivating now, nearing mastery in just one month.

It would only become more difficult later, especially after breaking through Great Accomplishment, requiring time to endure.

The Star Martial Cultivation Method was the best example.

And now, with the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist at 99% progress, it had hit a bottleneck, making it quite difficult to break through to mastery.

"It's hard to break through a bottleneck purely through cultivation."

Jiang Ye sighed inwardly, "Only through enlightenment can I overcome this hurdle, but..."

Enlightenment? Such opportunities were rare.

His talent ultimately had a limit. Unless his comprehension improved significantly again, he could only rely on time to hone his skills.

"Brother!"

At this moment, Jiang Ting's voice came from outside the door.

"Coming."

Jiang Ye walked out of the room and looked at the young Jiang Ting, "What is it?"

Jiang Ting held a basin of water and smiled sweetly, "Brother, I'll wash your feet. Sit down quickly."

"Washing my feet?"

Jiang Ye stared at the basin of foot-washing water with a strange look. "Why are you washing my feet for me? Just say what you want."

Jiang Ting said shyly, "It's homework from school. They told us to wash our elders' feet."

"Go wash Mom and Dad's feet," Jiang Ye said.

"No, I want to wash gege's feet," Jiang Ting pouted. "Gege is also an elder!"

Jiang Ye understood. The little girl was too embarrassed to wash her parents' feet, but she was very close to him.

He glanced at the time. It was late at night. His father was on the night shift, and his mother was probably already asleep.

"In the future, you should do this kind of homework for Mom and Dad. No slacking off," Jiang Ye instructed. "I'll let it slide this time. You can wash my feet."

He sat down.

"Mhm, got it. I know gege is the best."

Jiang Ting immediately giggled and crouched down to wash his feet.

She wasn't being perfunctory. She seriously used her fair little hands to rub Jiang Ye's feet.

"Gege, remember to bring me snacks when school starts tomorrow," Jiang Ting said, looking at him expectantly as she washed.

"You little rascal," Jiang Ye chuckled, shaking his head. So that was her hidden motive.

But just as he was about to respond.

Several lines of text suddenly popped up before his eyes.

[You have achieved a new accomplishment: Upper Realm Saintess actively serves you]

[Title Unlocked: Saintess as Servant!]

[Reward: Comprehension Metamorphosis: You have been nourished by the Saintess, and your comprehension has increased by 50%]

--

Even though he was already accustomed to the System's sudden outbursts, Jiang Ye couldn't help but gasp.

Saintess as Servant?

System, you little…!

She's my sister!

Who would have thought that Jiang Ting washing his feet would be judged by the System as him having a servant?

"Upper Realm Saintess?" Jiang Ye looked at the words.

In the System's judgment, Jiang Ting had become a Saintess from the Upper Realm?

"Is it because of the Martial Embryo Sacred Body?" Jiang Ye pondered. "But why 'Upper Realm'? Is it because this physique exceeds the upper limit of the Low Martial world?"

Recalling the System's previous detection of Jiang Ting's physique, he felt this possibility was very high.

"I didn't expect the Low Martial Achievement System to unlock achievements like this," Jiang Ye was very surprised.

Most of the achievements he had unlocked before were related to his strength.

Even when he exploited bugs, it was closely related to strength.

But this time, it was clearly an exception.

"Saintess as Servant should be a social achievement, right?" Jiang Ye mused.

This reminded him of some online games he played in his previous life.

There were many types of achievements: growth, life, social, combat, exploration…

Since he could unlock social achievements, perhaps there were more achievements waiting for him to unlock, just undiscovered.

"Damn it, there's no beginner's guide either. Isn't this making things difficult for me?"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but complain.

Since activating the System, he had figured out all its functions himself.

If there had been a manual, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

Jiang Ye shook his head and looked back at the reward from before.

"Comprehension increased by 50%?"

When he saw this reward, his eyes lit up.

His cultivation speed might be greatly improved again.

It was already past midnight after washing his feet.

Jiang Ye didn't continue cultivating. He turned and entered the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder, repeatedly practicing in the illusion.

The next day.

September 1st, the first day of school.

Ancheng Third Middle School.

A tense atmosphere permeated the school at this time, with each class preparing for the entrance diagnostic exam.

Upon arriving at school, Jiang Ye did not head to his classroom for the assessment immediately.

Instead, he went to the office early.

A stunningly beautiful girl sat at the desk, dressed in a white dress and white socks, exuding a cool and refined aura.

It was Chen Zilu.

"The exam is about to start, what are you doing here?" Chen Zilu looked at Jiang Ye as he walked in.

Jiang Ye took out a cake box and said with a smile, "Teacher, happy birthday."

Chen Zilu froze for a moment, her pretty eyes shifting to the cake box, her gaze filled with surprise. "You knew?"

She hadn't told Jiang Ye her birth date.

"I guessed," Jiang Ye chuckled, adding, "You gave me your WeChat ID."

Chen Zilu looked at him with some surprise, then took the cake box. "Thank you, that's very thoughtful."

"It's nothing," Jiang Ye grinned, then hurried back to his classroom for the assessment.

"This guy..." Chen Zilu pursed her red lips.

Then, she opened the cake box and took a look, a smile appearing on her pretty face.

A small gift carries great meaning.

Although the cake wasn't expensive, it made her feelings for Jiang Ye deepen.

Chen Zilu closed the cake box again, carefully put it into her cabinet, and locked it before getting up to leave the office.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ye walked out of the office, staring intently at the panel before him.

After a moment, he sighed, "Can't I unlock an achievement by giving a gift?"

In many games, giving gifts to an opposite-sex friend, as long as the affection level is high enough, can unlock social achievements.

This was one of the reasons Jiang Ye had come so early to give Chen Zilu the cake.

But unfortunately.

This time, the System did not pop up a new achievement.

Although Jiang Ye was disappointed, he didn't dwell on it.

After all, it was just an experiment.

Chen Zilu had always treated him well, and it was her birthday today. It was perfectly reasonable for him to simply give her a cake.

Moreover, it could also increase her affection level.

"Time to take the exam."

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and strode towards the classroom.

In the third year of high school, every assessment was extremely important.

Therefore, even the entrance diagnostic exam adopted a system of cross-invigilation.

The invigilator for Class Nine was a burly man with a full beard.

"The entrance diagnostic exam begins now!"

The bearded teacher said in a deep voice, "Everyone, proceed with the test in order!"

Below the stage, Wen Yuehui looked at Jiang Ye and whispered, "A Ye, did you pass the trial?"

"I passed," Jiang Ye nodded, not hiding it.

"Really? Congratulations." Wen Yuehui was quite surprised. The school trials were very difficult.

Given Jiang Ye's strength, passing the trial must have been incredibly challenging.

"I heard there's a prize of tens of thousands of yuan for passing the trial," Wen Yuehui sighed inwardly. "The gap between me and A Ye must be even bigger now."

It was precisely because he was good friends with Jiang Ye that he didn't want to be left too far behind.

Jiang Ye, however, didn't care.

After the summer trial, he didn't feel much pressure for the diagnostic exam.

However, he was eager to see if his current strength could place him in the top hundred of the grade.

Chen Zilu had mentioned that there was a scholarship for the top hundred in the grade.

Before long, it was Jiang Ye's turn.

He walked up to the power testing machine, adjusted his stance, and then threw a powerful punch.

"Boom!"

A dull thud.

After testing his punching power, Jiang Ye didn't linger and turned to walk towards the silver-white treadmill.

This assessment would test punching power and speed simultaneously.

"Bang~!"

On the treadmill, Jiang Ye's legs seemed to turn into afterimages as he sprinted.

It wasn't until a moment later that he finally stopped.

The entire class fell silent, staring at the electronic blackboard ahead.

"Jiang Ye." Xu Sisi was also watching intently.

As the second person to be surpassed by Jiang Ye, she paid close attention to his results.

This assessment would also let her know if she had reclaimed the second spot over the summer break.

Before long, Jiang Ye's punching power and speed test results were displayed.

"Punching Power: 960 kg"

"Speed: 19.1 m/s"
