• Students at the Training Hall saw Su Xing’s disguised punches register around 150,000 kilograms and speculated that he was a powerful fourth-year student.
• Su Xing avoided being followed back to his dormitory, returned to the Spiritual Field Blessed Land, and considered why his strength had increased only modestly after entering the Organ Refinement Realm.

Su Xing brought the complete Evergreen Cultivation Technique and Level 10 Beast Speech out of the simulation, then used his new talent to discover a Spirit Chicken bullying the others. After restoring order in the coop, he refined low-grade pills and realized that personally improving a pill might be what raises an Alchemy Technique to peak level.

• Su Xing spent 500,000 energy points to bring out the complete Evergreen Cultivation Technique and 100,000 to obtain Level 10 Beast Speech.
