"Congratulations to this Miss for bidding on the Thousand Year Ice Marrow Jade Marrow!"
Zhou Hanyou put down her bidder number, her expression still calm, as if the four hundred and fifty million just spent wasn't four hundred and fifty million, but four hundred and fifty.
Zhou Tian'er leaned over, her eyes sparkling.
"Sister, you finally got it!"
"This is great, with this Ice Marrow Jade Marrow, you'll definitely be able to break through to Three Rings soon, right?"
As she spoke, she turned to Wang Zhi, explaining.
"Xiao Zhi, my sister's Soul Power is already Level 27."
"When she fuses with the Ice Marrow Jade Marrow, she might be able to directly reach Level 30!"
Level 27.
Wang Zhi understood.
He remembered that in the Original Work, Zhou Hanyou was Level 31 when she participated in the Tianhai Competition.
There was still about a year before the Tianhai Competition, so Level 27 was indeed about right.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhou Tian'er.
If he remembered correctly, in the Original Work, Zhou Tian'er's Soul Power was only Level 27 when she participated in the Tianhai Competition.
So now...
Sensing Wang Zhi's gaze, Zhou Tian'er was stunned for a moment, and then a blush appeared on her face.
She understood what Wang Zhi was thinking.
"I..."
"I'm only Level 24 now."
She said softly, but immediately puffed out her chest and added confidently.
"But I'll be able to cultivate to Three Rings Soul Elder soon!"
"Really!"
Wang Zhi looked at her, his eyes filled with some doubt.
Level 24 to Level 30 in one year?
It wasn't impossible, but for a twelve-year-old Child, the difficulty was indeed not small.
Seeing Wang Zhi's clearly disbelieving gaze, Zhou Tian'er's face flushed even redder.
The next second, her hand directly reached out and grabbed Wang Zhi's cheek.
"Hey! What kind of look is that?!"
"You don't believe me?!"
She glared, looking fierce, and applied a little more force.
Wang Zhi's face was distorted by her pinch, and he quickly shook his head.
"I believe you! I believe you!"
His voice was muffled.
Only then did Zhou Tian'er let go with satisfaction, raising her chin triumphantly.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
"Let me tell you, I'm a Genius Maiden!"
"Level twenty-four is nothing, I'll catch up in minutes!"
Beside them, Zhou Hanyou spoke faintly.
"No matter how talented someone is, if they don't cultivate properly, it's all useless."
Her tone was calm, but it was like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhou Tian'er's head.
Zhou Tian'er immediately deflated, drooping her head listlessly.
"Got it, sis..."
"I'll definitely cultivate hard..."
She mumbled softly, looking pitiful.
Wang Zhi watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle.
These two sisters were quite interesting.
The Auction House ended.
The three followed a Waiter to an Elegant Room.
The room wasn't large, but it was exquisitely decorated, with a soft Sofa, a gleaming Coffee Table, and several Ink Paintings hanging on the walls.
The waiter quickly brought two trays.
On one tray was the blue jade box, the Thousand Year Ice Marrow Jade Marrow that Zhou Hanyou had bid on.
On the other tray was a jade bottle, the Mysterious Water Pill that Zhou Tian'er had bid on.
Zhou Hanyou took out her Soul Guide Card and lightly swiped it on the instrument the waiter handed over.
With a "ding," forty-five million Federal Currency was successfully deducted.
Zhou Tian'er also took out her Soul Guide Card and had six million deducted.
The waiter respectfully withdrew, and the room door gently closed.
Zhou Tian'er picked up the jade bottle and turned to hand it to Wang Zhi.
"Here, Xiao Zhi, it's yours."
She said with a smile, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.
Wang Zhi looked at her, then at the jade bottle in his hand.
He no longer refused.
He would remember this kindness in his heart.
"Thank you, Tian'er Jie."
He said earnestly.
Zhou Tian'er reached out and ruffled his hair.
"Good boy!"
"Go back and absorb it well, and strive to break through as soon as possible!"
Leaving the Auction House, the three parted ways.
Zhou Hanyou took the Ice Marrow Jade Marrow back to the academy, Zhou Tian'er returned to her dormitory, and Wang Zhi went back to the Hut he had rented outside.
Closing the door, the room was very quiet.
Wang Zhi sat on the bed and took out the jade bottle.
The jade bottle was crystal clear all over, and the pale blue liquid inside could be faintly seen gently swaying.
He took a deep breath and opened the stopper.
A clear, crisp aura rushed towards him, carrying a faint medicinal fragrance that invigorated the spirit.
He didn't hesitate, tilting his head back and pouring the Mysterious Water Pill into his mouth.
The pill dissolved upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm liquid that flowed down his throat. Immediately after, the warmth rapidly spread, flowing to his limbs and bones.
Wang Zhi closed his eyes and began to circulate his Soul Power.
The medicinal power flowed through his body. Wherever it passed, his meridians felt as if they were being washed by warm water, an indescribable comfort.
He could feel his Soul Power growing bit by bit, at a speed many times faster than during normal meditation.
Time slowly passed.
After an unknown amount of time, the warmth gradually dissipated.
Wang Zhi opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing within them.
Level 13.
His Soul Power had directly increased by two levels.
Not only that...
He also felt his body had become much lighter, and his meridians were more unobstructed than before.
What surprised him the most was that when he tried meditating again, the speed of his Soul Power circulation was noticeably faster than before.
The Mysterious Water Pill's effect of Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Changing was indeed real.
He looked down at the empty jade bottle in his hand, the corners of his mouth curving upwards slightly.
Although he was only Level 13 now, his cultivation speed had increased, and the road ahead would be much smoother.
He remembered this kindness.
The days of class were very ordinary.
Every day was Theory Class, Meditation Class, Basic Soul Power Training, repeating in a cycle.
Class One and Class Two classrooms were next to each other. Occasionally, they would meet in the corridor, but it was just a nodding acquaintance.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
The new students gradually adapted to the academy's rhythm. They had met and become familiar with those they needed to.
Thus, Combat Training was put on the agenda.
The day of the combat training, the weather was excellent.
Sunlight sprinkled on the training ground, a gentle breeze swept by, carrying the scent of grass.
The students of First Year Class Two and First Year Class One stood facing each other, with a large open space in the middle serving as the battleground.
On each side stood over twenty children...
Some were nervous, some excited, some eager to try, some uneasy.
Wang Zhi stood in Class Two's formation, his expression calm and composed.
In the past month, he had already gotten a clear picture of the new students.
He could only say that after all, this wasn't an academy where the protagonist gathered. Throughout the entire first year, Two-Ring Soul Grand Masters were extremely rare, only seven in total.
Class One had five, and Class Two had two.
The remaining students were all One-Ring Soul Masters.
Moreover, the martial soul quality of everyone was quite ordinary. Most were common Tool Martial Souls or Beast Martial Souls, nothing particularly outstanding.
Things like Iron Rhinoceros, Green Vine, and Fire Sparrow would be considered decent in an ordinary academy, but compared to a place like Shrek, which was teeming with monsters, they were far inferior.
As for himself...
Wang Zhi didn't say much, just stood there quietly.
