Blood God Temple! Suppression Loosening, Nascent Soul Stage!

After a long moment, Xu Shengchuan finally took a deep breath, suppressing the malice and hatred within him, and let the man leave first.

Once the man was gone, Xu Shengchuan gritted his teeth and said viciously, "No matter how capable you are, since you killed my son, I will have you torn into ten thousand pieces!"

"Even if it costs me everything I own, I will never let you off!"

As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in Xu Shengchuan's eyes. He took another deep breath, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number...

Soon, the call connected.

"Hey, Old Zhao, that 'Blood God Temple' you mentioned last time—is it really as miraculous as you said? As long as you're willing to pay, no matter who you want dead, they can make them vanish without a trace?"

Xu Shengchuan said in a low voice.

A man's voice came through the phone, tinged with surprise: "Not you, Old Xu, why are you suddenly asking about the 'Blood God Temple'?"

"I remember when I brought it up before, you weren't interested at all and didn't want any connection with that kind of organization."

Xu Shengchuan said slowly, "Times change."

"Back then, I really didn't want to get involved with such an organization. After all, I've been clean for so many years, and I didn't want to touch those people and things again, to avoid trouble."

"But now, I want someone dead, and they're no ordinary person. That's why I thought of the 'Blood God Temple' you mentioned before!"

Hearing this, the man replied, "I see. As for the 'Blood God Temple,' I've dealt with them a few times and learned some things from other people. As far as I know, the 'Blood God Temple' has never failed!"

"However, to hire the 'Blood God Temple,' the price is extremely high. Ten million is just the starting point. They won't take any job under that."

"Also, the specific price depends on their investigation of the target. They assess based on the target's identity and the difficulty of the task, then give a quote."

Without a second thought, Xu Shengchuan said, "Price isn't the issue. As long as they can kill that person, I can accept any amount!"

As he spoke, he ground his teeth.

Then he continued, "So, Old Zhao, please help me get in touch with someone from the Blood God Temple. I'll handle the rest myself..."

On the other end of the line, the man was quite curious about what had stirred such intense murderous intent in Xu Shengchuan. Who could it be that made Xu Shengchuan say he'd accept any price?

Still, he didn't pry and simply replied, "Alright, I'll contact the Blood God Temple first, then help set up an introduction..."

"Good! Old Zhao, thank you! I'll treat you to a meal when I get the chance."

Xu Shengchuan responded.

After hanging up, Xu Shengchuan took a deep breath, a cruel expression spreading across his face as he snarled, "Let's see just how capable you really are, and whether you can withstand an assassination from the Blood God Temple, huh!"

As time reached June 7th, the College Entrance Examination finally arrived.

The two days of exams passed in a flash.

When the last subject was finished, Ning Wangshu had just walked out of the exam hall when he suddenly froze. He looked up at the sky, a look of surprise on his face.

"Yi, what's going on? That force suppressing my cultivation has inexplicably loosened a bit. The spiritual power I can use has recovered to the early-stage Nascent Soul level, and my divine sense can extend slightly, covering about a kilometer around..."

Ning Wangshu frowned, looking astonished, unable to figure out what was happening.

During this time, he had tried to cultivate, but the power he could use hadn't changed at all, always stuck at the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

Yet just now, he suddenly felt the suppressed cultivation recover a bit, reaching early-stage Nascent Soul. It felt incredibly strange.

Ning Wangshu's brows were tightly knit as he pondered what could have caused that suppressing force to loosen slightly.

Just then, a voice snapped him out of it—

"Ning Wangshu..."

He instinctively looked up and saw that it was none other than the class beauty, Lin Qingzhu.

Seeing Ning Wangshu look at her, Lin Qingzhu couldn't help asking, "Ning Wangshu, what are you thinking about? With that worried look on your face, don't tell me you didn't do well on the exam?"

Hearing this, Ning Wangshu casually replied, "Oh, no, that's not it. I was just thinking about other things."

"Really?"

Lin Qingzhu looked at him suspiciously and added, "I thought you were frowning because you didn't do well."

"By the way, I heard that a few days ago, the teachers gave you a mock exam paper, and you scored a total of 702? Now that the college entrance exam is over, what do you estimate your score to be?"

Ning Wangshu smiled and said, "Probably around that score. I'm not sure if I got some questions right."

"But around 700 points should be about right!"

Lin Qingzhu exclaimed, "Really? You estimate around 700 points? That means... you might get into Qingbei??"

"Fifty-fifty. I'll only know for sure when the scores come out."

Ning Wangshu said casually.

"Tsk tsk, impressive, Ning Wangshu! I can't believe you didn't come to school for over three months to review, and you still have a good chance of getting into Qingbei. That's amazing!"

Lin Qingzhu said with admiration and a hint of envy.

Ning Wangshu chuckled dryly, then asked, "What about you? What's your estimate?"

Lin Qingzhu smiled bitterly, "I can't compare to you. I estimate around 670. Qingbei is out of the question. I'll just see which 985 university to apply to."

"By the way, if Qingbei comes to recruit you, which university are you planning to go to?"

Lin Qingzhu asked another curious question.

Ning Wangshu shrugged. "This... I haven't thought about it yet. I'll see how things go when the time comes."

He paused, then added, "I might not necessarily go to Qingbei either. After all, Kyoto is a bit far, and besides, this is just my own estimate. What if I overestimated myself and didn't even make Qingbei's admission cutoff?"

"Uh... that's true. But for me, barring any surprises, I'll probably go to Jiangnan University in the province, or Jinling University in the neighboring province."

"My score should be enough for those two universities..."

Lin Qingzhu said.

"Hmm, then I wish you, Classmate Lin, success in enrolling in the university of your choice. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way now..."

Ning Wangshu didn't want to keep chatting, so he said this and left first.

On the way back to his younger sister's rented apartment, Ning Wangshu was still pondering the matter of his cultivation base suddenly recovering to early-stage Nascent Soul. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the reason.
