Eighteen Jin

In the afternoon, willows were veiled in mist.

At Saint Orchid Academy, in the Vice Dean's Office, Ye Sheng moved a chair for Chang Ping to sit.

"Uncle Ye, what kind of move was that? It's amazing!" Seeing Ye Sheng move the chair from a distance, Chang Ping's eyes sparkled with envy.

Ye Sheng smiled faintly, "That's 'Telekinesis,' a basic application of Soul Force. Once you become a Bronze One Demon Spirit Master and enter the Beginner Class, the instructors will teach you. Now, we need to discuss a serious matter."

"What matter?" Chang Ping was completely bewildered. Was he going to be punished for talking back to an instructor?

Ye Sheng sat behind his desk, clasped his hands, rested his elbows on the table, and looked sternly at Chang Ping. "What's your relationship with Shen Xiu of the Sacred Family?"

"Instructor and student, what else could it be?" Chang Ping played dumb. He couldn't possibly tell Ye Sheng that Shen Xiu was his tool for venting his desires.

Ye Sheng glared at Chang Ping and got straight to the point, "Someone saw you two hugging and acting intimately, even entering the same dormitory. Can you explain what's going on?"

"Who said that? I'll rip their mouth apart!" Chang Ping shot up from his seat. "Instructor Shen Xiu came to my dorm at noon just to kindly help me with my Demon Spirit knowledge. There's absolutely no improper relationship between us."

"Swear it!" Ye Sheng pressed.

Chang Ping fell silent.

"Don't be nervous! I'm not interested in your affairs. I just want to know your attitude towards the Sacred Family. You know, my surname is Ye, and I'm a clansman of the Snowy Wind Family, which has always been at odds with the Sacred Family. You... understand what I mean, right?"

"To be honest, I wish I could flatten the Sacred Family right now." Chang Ping recounted in detail how the Sacred Family had enslaved him and withheld his hard-earned money.

Ye Sheng stroked his white beard. No wonder Chang Ping was at odds with the Sacred Family.

"I hope everything you just said is true."

"I swear to the Heavenly Dao, if I've told even half a lie, may Shen Xiu be struck by lightning and die a horrible death." Chang Ping figured he had nothing to lose if Shen Xiu died anyway.

Ye Sheng curled his lips and returned the empty gun to Chang Ping.

"You can go!"

Chang Ping picked up the gun from the table, inserted the magazine, released the safety, and aimed at Ye Sheng.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ye Sheng exclaimed, startled, activating Demon Spirit Possession.

"Nothing!" Chang Ping shook his head. "I don't want anyone monitoring me. If you've sent someone, please recall them. Otherwise, if I take them out, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."

With that, Chang Ping released the safety, put the Desert Eagle back into his Space Ring, and swaggered out.

"Bastard!" Ye Sheng slammed the table in anger. Was this kid like a mad dog, biting everyone he met?

He had sent people to monitor him for his own protection; the ungrateful brat.

However, Ye Sheng ultimately decided to recall his men.

The next morning, the morning clouds emerged from the peaks.

Twelve hours had passed since he last checked his data panel. He must have accumulated quite a bit of Strength Value by now.

Chang Ping rubbed his growling stomach and sat up in bed.

This wretched bed creaked and groaned with the slightest movement. Once he had money, he would definitely buy a better one.

A double bed!

Summoning his data panel, Chang Ping found that its contents had changed.

Name: Chang Ping Gender: Man Hobby: Virgin Talent: Physical Augmentation+ (gain eight jin of strength per minute) Strength: 17262 (Gold Star One Warrior) Soul Force: 13 (Apprentice Demon Spirit Master) Redemption Records: torch, Desert Eagle, gasoline barrel, Universal Mask, Simple Camera, Great Ancestor Long Fist

"What the hell?! I'm not a boy anymore, I've become a man?" Chang Ping's expression was odd. The system was quite accurate in its assessment of people.

-800! -900! -1000! ...

Chang Ping frantically upgraded his Talent until it reached the point of gaining eighteen jin of strength per minute.

He had over four thousand seven hundred strength points left, which was more than enough to deal with the weaklings in the academy.

At the current growth rate, he could gain twenty-five thousand jin of strength per day.

By this time tomorrow, he should be able to become a Gold Three Star Warrior.

Chang Ping didn't like leveling up his Talent one by one. Although it yielded the highest profit, it was too troublesome.

He preferred to save up the full twelve hours of the day and level up his Talent all at once, because it was super satisfying.

While leveling up was satisfying, it wasn't as satisfying as messing with Shen Xiu.

I wonder what Bo Chi is doing now?

Early morning, the mist was hazy.

Yu'er (Xiangliu) appeared in Shen Xiu's boudoir precisely on time, without anyone noticing.

The Sacred Family had experts like clouds. So many Black Gold powerhouses, yet not a single one detected Yu'er's presence. Clearly, after a day, Yu'er's cultivation had reached some unfathomable level.

Yu'er floated without her feet touching the ground, hovering in the air and looking down at Shen Xiu, who was still sleeping in.

She suddenly let out a soft "Yi," and said in surprise, "Logically speaking, by now the Blackwater Strange Poison should have spread to her internal organs. She should be feeling like she's burning alive, in unbearable pain. How is she completely fine, sleeping like a dead pig?"

Yu'er landed on the ground like a snowflake, lifted the covers, grabbed Shen Xiu's delicate arm, and felt her pulse.

"Hmm? The poison has been alleviated?" Yu'er widened her almond-shaped eyes, looking incredulous. "I didn't expect her to find a man who truly loves her so quickly. As expected, males are animals who think with their lower halves!"

Yu'er snorted lightly and slapped Shen Xiu awake with a backhand.

"Who is it?! How dare you hit me, you're asking for death!" Shen Xiu sat up angrily. Upon seeing it was Yu'er possessed by the Old Monster, she immediately deflated. "It... it's you? Why don't you make any noise when you walk, like a ghost."

Damn old monster! Stinky old monster! How dare you hit my face, do you know you're finished?!

"Enough nonsense! Have you found any news about the person I asked you to find?" Yu'er held her head high, not even looking at Shen Xiu, her attitude extremely arrogant and contemptuous.

Shen Xiu's eyes darted around, and she lied, "Not yet. However, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion recruited a team of guards yesterday. The person you're looking for might have hidden in the City Lord's Mansion."

I absolutely cannot tell the old monster that Chang Ping is at Saint Orchid Academy.

As long as the old monster can't find Chang Ping for one more day, she still has one day of value.

If it finds him, the old monster might very well turn on her, not only refusing to give her the antidote but possibly killing her to silence her. Demon Beasts are cunning and cruel monsters; they will never keep their promises.

Although Chang Ping is detestable, he can temporarily alleviate the poison in her body. She can't die yet.

Unless the old monster agrees to cure her poison, she will absolutely not reveal Chang Ping's whereabouts.

However, she vaguely remembered the old monster saying yesterday morning that the Blackwater Strange Poison had no cure!

"The City Lord's Mansion?" Yu'er narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, pondered for a moment, and turned to leave.

"Wait! Can you help me get rid of the poison?" Shen Xiu shouted at Yu'er.

Yu'er turned back and smiled charmingly, "You already have the best antidote, why bother this god to make a move?"

"What?"
