Bronze One Star

The red sun slowly rose from the eastern peaks.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window lattice, illuminating the dormitory.

"104 points! Soul Vortex! Bronze One-star Demon Spirit Master!" Chang Ping excitedly closed his data panel. The Human Dao Divine Art was too powerful. In just a few days, it had propelled him from last place to first in the entire class, surpassing Ye Zi Yun and becoming the first student to break through to Bronze.

However, he also had Shen Xiu to thank for her cooperation. Without her, his Soul Force wouldn't have increased so quickly.

Chang Ping hugged Shen Xiu and excitedly kissed her tired face.

After fighting continuously for 52 minutes, she felt like she was about to die, her mind blank, her thoughts completely gone.

"Too fierce! You're just too fierce!" Shen Xiu couldn't think of any other word besides "fierce" to describe Chang Ping.

He wasn't human, he was a beast! A Demon Beast!

"This is what you deserve." Chang Ping took out a Demon Crystal Card and placed it on her face. "You can spend this money however you want, buy whatever you want, I absolutely won't ask questions."

Since Xiao Ning'er was already helping him acquire Purple Mist Grass, the seven hundred thousand he had on hand was temporarily useless. Giving ten thousand to reward Shen Xiu was no big deal.

Shen Xiu had been the one to promote the shampoo, so by rights, he should have given her at least a hundred thousand Demon Spirit Coins.

Chang Ping was afraid she would spend it recklessly, so he decided to keep it for her for now.

"You rest, I'm going to class." He grabbed a handful of her marshmallow-soft backside and, changing into his damp clothes, left the dormitory. He closed the door from the outside and used his Soul Force to remotely lock the bolt from within.

Upon cultivating his Soul Force to Bronze One-star, Chang Ping had independently comprehended a skill: Telekinesis.

Ye Sheng had said this skill could only be learned after reaching the Formal Class of Demon Spirit Master, but he had unexpectedly learned it now. He truly was a genius!

However, his current control range was only a little over ten meters, and he could only lift a little over a pound. Although it was practically useless, it was better than nothing.

Leaving the dormitory, Chang Ping rushed towards the cafeteria like a tornado.

"Damn it, it's closed!" Chang Ping grumbled, looking at the iron lock on the door.

He had spent a bit too long cultivating the Human Dao Divine Art today, which caused him to come out late and miss breakfast.

If he wanted to eat, he could only do so after cultivating in the evening.

"What the hell?!" Chang Ping suddenly realized a problem.

Increasing his Soul Force by 52 points would require at least 52 minutes. Increasing it by 520 points would require at least 520 minutes. Calculating this way, if he cultivated the Human Dao Divine Art to Silver, Gold, or Black Gold, he wouldn't be able to do anything else all day.

Even if he could endure it, Shen Xiu couldn't. After just 52 minutes, she was exhausted like a puddle of mud. If it were 520 minutes, she'd probably die.

"Speaking of which, can the Human Dao Divine Art be upgraded like Talent? System, answer me!"

Soon, some information appeared in Chang Ping's mind.

Just as he had expected, the Human Dao Divine Art could indeed be upgraded.

"For every woman I 'humanize,' the time is reduced tenfold? And it doesn't matter who I 'humanize,' the output Soul Force will be evenly distributed among all the women I've 'humanized'?" Chang Ping's expression was strange.

This cultivation technique was truly improper!

But he liked it~

Arriving at the Beginner Warrior Class classroom on an empty stomach, Chang Ping found that all the students were present except for him.

"The protagonist always makes a late entrance!" Chang Ping comforted himself, holding his head high and walking towards his seat.

He sat down with a flourish and suddenly noticed an exquisite box in his desk.

"What is this?" Chang Ping was full of questions.

He nudged Ye Zi Yun, who was tidying her hair with a jade comb, with his elbow, and leaned in to whisper, "Why is there an extra box in my desk? Who sent it?" Could it be a time bomb inside?

Chang Ping had watched too many cop thrillers; he saw cake boxes, pastry boxes, or pizza boxes and immediately thought there was a bomb inside.

Ye Zi Yun continued to comb a strand of long hair falling by her ear and said indifferently, "Ning'er sent it to you. Be happy about it! I don't know what's gotten into Ning'er today, sending you a gift."

She was still upset about Chang Ping asking her for ten thousand Demon Spirit Coins yesterday.

Besides, she and Ning'er had been very close friends since childhood. After so many days of school, Ning'er hadn't sent her a single gift, and now she was giving one to Chang Ping. It was impossible not to be jealous.

She had come to Saint Orchid Academy entirely to rekindle her friendship with Ning'er. Otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion had countless excellent tutors, providing one-on-one service. Why would she need to come to Saint Orchid Academy? Ning'er had disappointed her so much, she was heartbroken, boohoohoo...

"It's her! You startled me, I thought it was some kind of prank." Chang Ping realized, and he peeked out, looking across the aisle at Xiao Ning'er, past Ye Zi Yun.

She was engrossed in reading a book, occasionally brushing away a strand of hair falling by her ear. Her profile was stunningly beautiful, beyond compare.

Chang Ping withdrew his gaze. If Xiao Ning'er were a little older, he might have confessed his love to her, but for now, he'd let it go. He didn't want people pointing fingers at him.

Unbeknownst to him, as he pulled his head back, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ning'er's lips.

In the last row of the classroom.

Nie Li and Shen Yue clenched their fists, their eyes burning with rage, their gazes capable of tearing a person to shreds.

"No one can touch Zi Yun except me! Damn Chang Ping, I'm going to rip your arm off!" Nie Li roared inwardly.

In his previous life, Zi Yun was his woman. In this life, Zi Yun was also his woman. Anyone who dared to touch her, he would fight to the death! How dare he make me wear the cuckold's hat, this brat is seeking death!

Shen Yue was equally indignant. "He just teased my Zi Yun, and now he's coveting my elder brother's fiancée, Xiao Ning'er. Detestable scum, one day I will cripple you, making you unable to 'humanize' for the rest of your life."

He could only vent his anger in his heart. Unless Chang Ping left Saint Orchid Academy, even if the two brothers teamed up, they couldn't do anything to Chang Ping. Instead, they would be severely beaten by him.

This guy must have grown up eating cow dung! He's as strong as a wild ox, his Strength is outrageously powerful, he's practically not human!

What Shen Yue didn't know was that if he wanted to cripple Chang Ping, his aunt would be the first to disagree.

Lu Piao and Du Ze stared at the two raging ineffectively, their expressions strange. They were afraid that before these two could team up to bring down Chang Ping, they would first anger themselves to death.

"Speaking of which, what did Goddess Ning'er give Chang Ping?" Lu Piao whispered to Du Ze, extremely curious.

Xiao Ning'er, that ice beauty who kept others at bay, actually took the initiative to give a guy something.

What exactly did Chang Ping do to her?

In the first row of the classroom, Chang Ping slowly opened the box. Inside lay some exquisite pastries, with words carved on them—I used your medicine, and the effect was very good. Thank you, Chang Ping. I made some pastries for you, I hope you don't dislike them.

Before Ye Zi Yun could even glimpse what was written on the pastries, Chang Ping opened his abyssal maw, raised the gift, and like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, he dumped all the pastries inside into his mouth, swallowing them all into his stomach without even chewing.

"Chang Ping!" Ye Zi Yun was anxious.

How could he eat like a glutton, chewing like a cow? It was such a waste of Ning'er's kind intentions!

What angered her most was that he didn't leave a single piece for her. She hadn't even tasted Ning'er's cooking yet!
