Two Months of Metamorphosis

Time slipped away silently amidst the frenzy of bitter cultivation.

A full month had passed since Jiang Hao entered the Key Class.

This month, Jiang Hao's life had been compressed to the extreme.

School.

The Virtual Immersion System.

A monotonous triangle of routines, yet incomparably fulfilling.

After all, Jiang Hao could clearly feel himself undergoing earth-shattering transformations every single day.

The five Medium-grade Nutrient Solutions from B-Class Treatment were exhausted within the first week.

Su Qingning's two precious High-grade Nutrient Solutions sustained him for ten days.

And after being promoted to A-Class Treatment, the three High-grade Nutrient Solutions were completely absorbed by him last night.

In total, five High-grade Nutrient Solutions and five Medium-grade Nutrient Solutions.

Resources worth six hundred thousand Alliance Coins were devoured in just one month by Jiang Hao's bottomless body.

In exchange came a wild surge in strength.

To prepare for the end-of-month assessment.

And even more so to fulfill the agreement with Song Jun for that 12.0 Blood Qi.

Jiang Hao had poured nearly all his energy into practicing the Stance Skill over the past half-month.

His Blood Qi Intensity had long broken through the Martial Trainee barrier of 10.0.

It had even crossed the thresholds of 11.0, 12.0, and 13.0!

Finally settling on a terrifying number.

13.4!

The further Blood Qi went, The greater the sedimentation and accumulation required.

Such a monstrous increase owed much to the breakthrough in the Stance Skill.

With a flood of resources and the blessing of Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence, his Nine Revolutions Stance Skill had also reached the bottleneck of the Eighth Turn a few days ago.

Successfully stepping into the Ninth Turn!

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery · Ninth Turn (10/100)]

As for that Tidal Wave Spear Technique, Through high-intensity practical training in the Virtual System, he had also successfully mastered the third layer of Overlapping Force!

With the explosive power of the third Overlapping Force, combined with his perfected Spear Arts and Spear Intent, Jiang Hao was confident that his full-force strike now was in no way inferior to a powerhouse with 15.0 Blood Qi!

Awakening the system.

In just two short months.

Jiang Hao felt his life had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, spilling across the floor of the room.

The first day of the new month.

The day of the Key Class Assessment.

Jiang Hao stood at the school gate, taking a deep breath of the cool morning air.

His gaze was calm!

But within his heart, battle intent surged.

With a thought, Jiang Hao called up his personal panel.

[Host: Jiang Hao]

[Strength: 13.4 (Blood Qi Intensity)]

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery · Ninth Turn (10/100)]

[Martial Skills: Spear Intent (15/100), Tidal Wave Spear Technique - Minor Success (85/100)]

Looking at this luxurious data, a confident smile curled at the corner of Jiang Hao's mouth.

Over this month of nurturing, Spear Intent's proficiency had increased by 15 points.

The Tidal Wave Spear Technique was also on the verge of breaking through to Minor Success Perfection.

"With this data..."

"Suppressing Zhao Wuji should be a sure thing."

"As for Lin Fan..."

Jiang Hao's gaze grew deep.

Lin Fan's 12.1 Blood Qi intensity was already old news from a month ago.

This past month, as someone enjoying C-Class Treatment with elite mentor guidance, his strength must have surged as well.

"But even if he's also broken through to 13.0, I'm still not afraid."

Jiang Hao's mind involuntarily conjured that snow-white, cold figure.

Su Qingning.

This Sun-level talent, this prodigy, was the one he truly needed to watch.

"Five months left until the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam."

"The threshold for top Martial Arts Universities is 20 Blood Qi."

Cannot find by searching book title, try searching the author instead—maybe it's been renamed!

Jiang Hao's brow furrowed slightly.

"Her publicly known Blood Qi is 15.0 right now."

"Crossing a 5.0 gap in five months?"

"Even for a Sun-level talent, that's extremely difficult, isn't it?"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes.

"The only explanation is that she's hiding her strength."

"As for Su Big School Flower's actual Blood Qi now, it's probably far more than a simple 15.0. How much she's hidden—that's anyone's guess."

Jiang Hao collected his thoughts, washed up, and headed to school!

He stepped through the school gates.

The exclusive Training Hall for the Senior Year Key Class.

Today, the atmosphere was especially heavy.

All twenty-four students, including Jiang Hao and the four new members, were present.

The Virtual Immersion Devices that usually hummed with activity were all on standby, silent.

No one had entered the virtual space.

Everyone wore crisp martial arts uniforms, waiting quietly in the center of the floor.

The air was thick with tension and the smell of competition.

Mentor Luo Cheng's figure stepped into the hall right on time.

"Silence!"

His authoritative voice rang out, and the entire hall fell still.

Luo Cheng's sharp gaze swept across the crowd.

"Monthly Assessment. You all know the rules."

"Those with A-Class and C-Class treatment must accept challenges from B-Class and D-Class."

"Losers get their treatment downgraded."

"Winners get upgraded."

"But before that."

"Everyone, in order."

"Step forward and test your Blood Qi intensity for this month!"

As Luo Cheng's words fell, the atmosphere in the Senior Year Key Class Training Hall grew so heavy it could drip water.

Everyone's eyes converged on the cold, metallic Blood Qi intensity Testing Machine at the center of the floor.

The Monthly Assessment had officially begun.

This was also Jiang Hao's first major exam since entering the key class.

But the focus of this exam!

Was not Su Qingning, nor Lin Fan, nor Zhao Wuji!

It was Jiang Hao!

As Luo Cheng announced the start, some people were already staring at Jiang Hao and whispering among themselves.

"Hey, what do you think Jiang Hao will hit this month?"

"Hard to say. He was at 10.45 Blood Qi last month, then got A-Class Treatment and comprehended Spear Intent—his progress must be fast."

"I'm guessing 11.5 at most?"

A Senior Student with C-Class Treatment lowered his voice and analyzed sourly.

"A 1.5 increase in one month? You're overestimating him!"

Someone nearby immediately retorted.

"Once Qi and Blood passes 10.0, every 0.1 increase is as hard as reaching the heavens!"

"Last month he was just lucky, breaking through Stance Training bottlenecks in a row, that's why it skyrocketed."

"This month it'll definitely slow down. I bet he's at most 11.0!"

"Right, last month was luck. I don't believe he can be that monstrous again this month."

"But I did hear from someone in Class Two that he has a bet with Mentor Song Jun to hit 12.0."

"12.0? Are you kidding me? That would mean catching up to Senior Lin Fan and Senior Zhao Wuji!"

As soon as this guess came out, it drew a wave of snickers from the people around.

"Don't be ridiculous. Going from 10.45 to 12.0 in one month? You think he's Campus Belle Su?"

"If he can reach 12.0, I'll eat this floor tile on the spot!"

Everyone was buzzing with discussion, but the highest psychological ceiling they could accept was 12.0.

And even that was the result they least wanted to believe.

On the High Platform!

Luo Cheng's face was expressionless.

"Silence."

"The assessment begins."

"In order of enrollment, Wang Hao, step forward for testing."

Luo Cheng held his Personal Terminal and began recording in detail.

"Yes!"

Wang Hao stepped out. He took a deep breath and suddenly threw a punch!
