Our Hobbies Are Exactly the Same

After returning home, Jiang Changkong was excited for a long while before he finally calmed down.

He would have to keep this from Ji Ziling for now. Later, he would make it up to her.

There was no helping it. If he told Ji Ziling and Ji Ziling took it back, his Star Stones would be gone.

If he did not farm a few more, he would be letting down the student ID Ji Ziling had given him.

Looking at his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, he decisively tapped the Taiji Fist Classic.

Insights about the Taiji Fist Classic surged into his mind in wave after wave.

Streams of power emerged from within him, tempering his body over and over.

His body grew increasingly supple, and increasingly solid.

Along with it, the Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique also increased a little.

Taiji Fist already had the effect of nourishing the body and strengthening health, so it was perfectly normal for it to drive the Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique upward.

His Star Qi increased as well, and his strength rose with it. The character of power within his body also thickened by the slightest thread.

His temples now only protruded faintly, and his abundant blood vitality became even more restrained.

He looked just like he had when he had first cultivated Iron Cloth Shirt to major accomplishment.

As long as he broke through to perfection, he would look no different from an ordinary person on the outside.

Jiang Changkong: Star Qi Peak.

Low-rank, low-grade martial arts:

Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique: Perfection 20/32000

Taiji Fist Classic: Major Accomplishment 1/8000

Essence, Qi, and Spirit: 720

With the Taiji Fist Classic at major accomplishment, his understanding was deeper, and his techniques for dissipating force and issuing force were even more practiced.

If he fought someone at the Late Star Qi Stage, he could bulldoze straight through and blow them apart.

Even facing someone at the Star Qi Peak, with four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds, he could take them down with ease.

Of course, the premise was that his Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique had reached perfection. That foundation was there.

Otherwise, relying on the Taiji Fist Classic alone, facing a Star Qi Peak would be somewhat difficult.

He was preparing to sleep when Li Qiuchuan sent a text message: "Come to the school at twelve. I asked around about the student ID. It automatically resets at twelve."

Jiang Changkong's spirits lifted. He set an alarm, then slept in his clothes.

Midnight was when there were the fewest people.

The more people there were, the greater the chance he would be exposed.

Li Qiuchuan had also prepared a hat and mask for him, along with a school uniform.

He slept until eleven. When the alarm rang, he washed up, then headed to the school.

The guard at the entrance was still awake. He took out the student ID and swiped it on the device by the gate, and the gate opened automatically.

The guard did not even glance at him. He passed through safely.

Not long after he entered the school, Li Qiuchuan walked out from the darkness and handed him the hat and clothes.

After changing clothes, the two quickly headed to Iron Tower.

"I've arranged everyone. Six people, all on good terms with me."

Li Qiuchuan said in a low voice, "Completing the mock exam ahead of time gives richer rewards."

"That kind of thing easily draws attention."

Jiang Changkong said softly, "For now, let's take the normal route first."

Although Ji Ziling intended to support him, they could not make it too obvious, right?

Besides, taking it slow and making a fortune in silence was the only way to earn more.

Li Qiuchuan nodded and said nothing more.

Outside Iron Tower, six people had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Qiuchuan and Jiang Changkong, two of them hurriedly came up to greet them.

"This is a senior. No need to know his name. Hurry and go to the mock exam."

Li Qiuchuan urged.

The six nodded and sensibly did not ask anything more.

Jiang Changkong first led them into the First-Year Mock Exam room.

This time was different from before. Instead of defending first, this time he directly bulldozed through with violence.

He forcefully smashed everything apart!

Then they went to the second floor, and he continued to blow apart four golden men.

The mock exam was over, and Jiang Changkong left first.

As for the Star Stones, Li Qiuchuan would bring them to him tomorrow.

After returning home, he went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Changkong woke up.

After washing up, he hesitated a little.

Today's mock exam was already over. There was no need to go to school.

As for the clinic, things were not busy right now. Even if he went, he would just be sitting there.

He performed a set of Taiji Fist. The Taiji diagram was still as faint as before, flickering in and out of existence, but now there was an added trace of casual ease.

With both hands, he could easily manifest the Taiji diagram. Dissolving force and issuing force were both decided in a single thought.

After completing the set, the perfected Taiji Fist showed not the slightest fluctuation.

If he wanted to improve through bitter cultivation, it clearly required years of accumulation.

If performing one set could raise it by even a little, he would not need to go through the effort of getting Star Stones.

Near noon, Li Qiuchuan came, bringing two first-tier high-grade Star Stones and four mid-grade ones.

Essence, Qi, and Spirit: 1400!

The Star Stones he got this time were different from the previous ones. Some contained blue specks of light.

This was related to the Star Power cultivated by Star Demons. There were red ones, golden ones, blue ones—many kinds.

The more of these specks of light there were, the higher the grade of the Star Stone.

The color of the specks was formed from different types of Star Power. As for the specifics, he had asked Li Qiuchuan before, but even he did not understand much.

He did not go out. He did not even go to the vegetable market anymore; he ordered takeout for every meal.

He spent the entire day practicing fist techniques, and the Taiji Fist Classic successfully increased by 1 point.

At midnight, Li Qiuchuan notified him again.

This time, he went directly in his school uniform, wearing a mask and a hat.

As for his outfit, the security guard only glanced at him. After he took out his student ID, the guard paid him no more attention.

After solo-clearing two floors of the mock exam again, Jiang Changkong went home alone.

During the day, Li Qiuchuan came to deliver Star Stones, again worth 1,400 days.

Earning 1,400 points of Essence, Qi, and Spirit per day left Jiang Changkong greatly excited.

There were still two months until Martial Arts School admissions. If he could have this income every day...

By the time he enrolled, he would absolutely be able to reach Nebula Level.

He practiced fist techniques during the day and farmed the mock exam at night.

Jiang Changkong continued acting like this, calm and cautious.

He completely stopped going to the vegetable market and slaughterhouse. He could no longer earn Essence, Qi, and Spirit there.

Eleven days passed peacefully, until Ji Ziling finally contacted him.

Jiang Changkong had no choice but to go to the clinic. He gripped the Temporary Student ID tightly, his heart filled with reluctance.

But if Ji Ziling wanted it back, he could only return it.

Ji Ziling should already know what he had been doing during this period, right?

When Ji Ziling gave him this student ID, she had not mentioned anything about splitting the profits. He did not know what she was thinking.

Could it be that she simply looked down on this little bit?

This time, when he went over, he had to have a proper talk with her.

On the way, he passed a bookstore and went in to look around. He found a magazine from who knew what year.

The contents inside were very good, and the quality was solid. Ji Ziling would definitely like it.

Ji Ziling had done him such a huge favor, so he bought it to reward her a little.

Carrying the magazine, he stepped into the clinic.

Ji Ziling was sitting in front of the computer, her expression grave as she stared fixedly at the screen.

"Doctor Ji," Jiang Changkong called softly.

Smack.

Ji Ziling's hand trembled, and the mouse rolled twice. Clearly, she had not expected someone to come in.

She looked up at him, then let out a breath of relief. "Why did you come in without making a sound?"

"Weren't you the one who told me to come?"

Jiang Changkong curled his lip. With that much concentration, she was definitely critiquing something.

"How has studying at the Martial Arts School been?"

Ji Ziling kept her eyes on the computer screen and said, "I heard that on your first day in there, you passed two levels of the simulation assessment."

"Just luck." Jiang Changkong sighed inwardly. She still found out.

"Looks like you're doing pretty well. What's that in your hand?"

Ji Ziling asked curiously.

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Changkong's face. "This is something I went through a thousand hardships and ten thousand trials to dig up."

It was an old, dated magazine. The surface was even somewhat damaged; clearly, it had been flipped through who knew how many times.

The cover had yellowed a little, showing its age.

Ji Ziling's gaze finally moved away from the computer and landed on the magazine.

In an instant, her eyes froze, unable to move away.

"A lone copy. A peerless lone copy."

As if she had discovered some peerless secret manual, Ji Ziling's eyes shone.

She carefully opened the magazine and looked at the colored pictures inside, at those long-legged images.

"This one's good. This one's good."

Ji Ziling pointed at the first page, then lowered her head to look at herself. After confirming that hers were bigger, she nodded with even greater satisfaction.

Jiang Changkong: "..."

"Come, look with me."

Ji Ziling beckoned. "Huh, this one's even better. What do you think?"

"Senior Sister has excellent taste. I think so too."

"As expected of a brother. Our tastes really are exactly the same."

Ji Ziling nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Changkong glanced at her and discovered that the beauty in the magazine fell far short of her in every aspect.

Seeing that she was satisfied, he also let out a breath of relief inwardly.

"Brother Ji, recently I've..."

"Don't talk. When appreciating beautiful things, you have to focus."

Jiang Changkong: "..."

Fine, you appreciate it first.
