Looking for a Senior

After turning the last page, Ji Ziling's face was faintly red.

This was not shyness!

"Go do whatever you want. This magazine is mine now. I'm going to keep it in my collection."

Such a lone surviving copy was not easy to come by. She had to preserve it properly and study it closely.

"As for this student ID, I..."

"Use it however you like. Just give it back to me before enrollment."

Ji Ziling waved a hand and said, "If you get something like this again, remember to think of me."

"Doctor Ji, I..."

"Don't be so distant. Call me brother."

Jiang Changkong: "..."

Should he draw some for her?

"Go, go, hurry up. Don't bother me."

Ji Ziling impatiently pushed him out, then shut the door and admired it alone.

Standing outside the clinic, Jiang Changkong looked dazed. She was not asking him to return the student ID?

Use it however he liked? As long as he gave it back before enrollment?

Brother... no, Senior Sister was really generous!

He was very glad he had come to know such a senior sister.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Changkong looked at his own panel, his eyes filled with drive.

Jiang Changkong: Star Qi Peak

Low-tier low-grade martial arts:

Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique: Perfected 23/32000

Taiji Fist Classic: Perfected 1/32000

Essence, Qi, and Spirit: 8120

The Taiji Fist Classic had already reached perfection, and the Star Qi within his body had grown twice as dense.

The true qi cultivated from the two martial arts could be said to be evenly matched, perfectly fused together.

Moreover, his body had been tempered once again. A first-rank high-grade weapon could forget about leaving even a white mark on him.

But as for a first-rank top-tier weapon, he still had no confidence in his heart.

In terms of fist techniques, as long as he made a move, every raise of his hand and step of his foot could manifest a Taiji diagram against the enemy.

For the Three-Year Mock College Entrance Exam, he was already confident.

But that was still not enough.

He wanted to solo it. Only if he could crush everything and carry others flying would it do.

Only then could the business continue.

If he wanted to reach that level, he had to max out either the Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique or the Taiji Fist Classic after perfecting it.

Counting his current Essence, Qi, and Spirit, he would need seventeen days before he could barely scrape together enough to complete one perfected art.

After returning home, Jiang Changkong practiced a set of fist techniques, set his alarm, then rested and slept.

When eleven o'clock came that night, he set out on time.

He entered the school again, took people through two levels of assessment, then left the school.

Li Qiuchuan walked shoulder to shoulder with him, speaking in a low voice about their gains during this period.

At the same time, he also wanted to ask when exactly Jiang Changkong intended to take him through the mock college entrance exam.

Although Jiang Changkong had made a promise, he was still anxious inside.

If what they were doing was discovered, Jiang Changkong would no longer be able to take people through.

Not only would there be no business left to do, who knew what punishment there might be.

"Starting tomorrow, we can only pick those who have been enrolled for less than a year."

Li Qiuchuan said in a low voice, "Those close to a full year have basically all passed already."

"If we finish ahead of time like this, can we get all the rewards?"

Jiang Changkong's expression turned slightly grave. "I only want Star Stones."

"No problem. As long as you dare to do it."

Li Qiuchuan narrowed his eyes. "I don't care either way. I'm just worried that when the time comes, you won't be able to join the Martial Arts School."

"If neither you nor I say anything, who would know my identity?"

Jiang Changkong laughed softly and left the school.

Li Qiuchuan thought for a moment, then turned and left, heading to the dormitory to rest.

Jiang Changkong walked out of the school. Before he had gone far, his steps paused ever so slightly.

Someone was behind him.

Had he been discovered?

Puzzled, Jiang Changkong slipped into a street to the side.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere here. If someone with intent wanted to investigate, his identity would be very easy to dig up.

But this surveillance was under the Federation's charge; even the principal of the Martial Arts School had no right to interfere.

The other party was following him from behind, which clearly meant they did not have the ability to investigate the surveillance.

He slipped into the street and glanced around. Tall buildings stood one after another.

There were no gaps between the high-rises, but there were flower beds at the side, overgrown with dense flowers and grass.

Hiding behind the flowers and grass, Jiang Changkong looked toward the mouth of the street.

A young man walked over. Seeing the empty street, he stopped in his tracks.

"He's gone?"

The young man frowned slightly, looked at the nearby flower beds, and flashed over, only to find them completely empty.

The young man's brows knitted tightly, his expression ugly. "Just who is it that keeps bringing people through the assessment? Does Li Qiuchuan know that many top students who haven't passed the assessment?"

"I basically know all the top students in the Martial Arts School, and almost all of them have passed the assessment.

Why did so many suddenly appear this time?

First there was Jiang Changkong, and now there's another masked top student wearing a face mask."

The young man muttered to himself. In the end, unable to find any direction, he could only return.

"Gu Xiaoyu."

Jiang Changkong walked out from behind the flower bed. The young man was none other than that little top student, Gu Xiaoyu.

When he had checked the flower bed just now, Jiang Changkong had already hidden one step ahead on the other side.

With his strength, Gu Xiaoyu could not discover him.

He left quickly, arrived at the civilian district, ducked into an unfamiliar civilian house, then climbed over the wall and continued forward.

There were no surveillance cameras inside the houses. This was the only way he could return to his own home.

He edited a message and sent it out, informing Li Qiuchuan about Gu Xiaoyu.

For the next two days, they changed the time.

They went again at three in the morning.

It was not only Gu Xiaoyu who was suspicious; quite a few seniors were suspicious too.

But Jiang Changkong never showed his face. Even if they went to question those people, they would not be able to get any information about him.

He continued farming two levels of mock assessments. This time, he was helping those who had only enrolled half a year ago pass in advance.

The rewards were even more generous.

Jiang Changkong could get 1,800, and Li Qiuchuan also earned a bit more.

Two days later, Jiang Changkong returned from the school.

As for Gu Xiaoyu, after experiencing the failure last time, this time he only glanced once and did not follow again.

It was not that he had given up, but that he knew his own strength was insufficient and planned to find someone to help.

And so he found his senior, Zhang Tao. The two of them usually had a very good relationship.

"Senior Zhang Tao, how could there be that many top students who haven't passed?"

Gu Xiaoyu looked gravely at the young man before him. "Even if there are, how many days has it been now? A dozen days already."

"Xiaoyu, I don't believe it either, but didn't a Jiang Changkong show up before?"

Zhang Tao's expression did not change as he said lightly, "Maybe they just weren't willing to expose themselves before, and now they have no choice but to pass the assessment?"

"More than a dozen people, all unwilling to expose themselves?"

Gu Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "Senior, more than a dozen people all went to Li Qiuchuan. Do you think over a dozen people discussed it beforehand?"

"Xiaoyu, you're a top student too. No matter how many appear, your talent is right there. The Martial Arts School will focus on nurturing you."

Zhang Tao frowned and said.

"Senior."

Gu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and said, "I was just curious, so I went to secretly look at the recorded information..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Tao's expression changed and he said angrily, "You actually went to secretly look at the assessment information?"

Gu Xiaoyu's expression did not change. He said in a deep voice, "Senior, hear me out first. Four people took the assessment, but the information record only had three people."

"What did you say?"

Zhang Tao's expression shifted wildly as he stared at him in shock and anger.

There was a trace of disbelief in his eyes. The assessment information actually listed only three people?

Recently, so many people had passed the assessment that it had practically spread through the entire school.

How could he not know how many people entered each time?

"Senior, this whole thing reeks of something strange. We should get to the bottom of it."

Gu Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "Besides, the Star Stones for the people who passed the assessment were all given to them. How many would that be?"

Zhang Tao's breathing instantly grew hurried. Eight stones a day, over a dozen days—wouldn't that be close to a hundred?

"If Senior gets them, your strength will rise, and you'll easily complete the Two-Year College Entrance Exam. You'll be able to defeat Zhou Wen, too."

Gu Xiaoyu continued.

Zhang Tao stared at him. "They left today?"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded. "They'll definitely come again tomorrow."

Zhang Tao looked at him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Tomorrow, I'll go with you."

If he could get his hands on them, his strength would definitely be able to rush into the Mid Star Qi Stage and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Wen.

When the time came, after completing the Two-Year College Entrance Exam, there would be rewards as well.

He would definitely surpass Zhou Wen!

Gu Xiaoyu's expression was calm. Earlier, he had taken the risk to sneak a look at the information and had nearly been discovered.

If he had been discovered, a beating would have been getting off lightly; he might very well have been expelled.

Now that he had talked Zhang Tao around, this risk had been worth it!
