Chapter 70: Wang Li and Her Companion Arrive at the School and Meet Chairman Wang?

Chu Sheng ranted wildly in his mind, but after thinking it over, he felt... the system wasn’t exactly wrong.

’Sigh... Whatever.’

’The process was a little soul-crushing, but at least I have three new ways to get Evolution Points now.’

Spirit Herbs and Elixirs, killing enemies beyond his level, and feedback from the Empress.

’Life is finally starting to look up!’

’Then again...’

Chu Sheng couldn’t stop himself from shooting the Empress a resentful glare. ’Seriously? We’ve been through life and death together so many times! And your trust in me is just barely over sixty?’

’That’s so uncool!’

Gu Yuexi was currently resting with her eyes closed.

She could clearly feel that as Chu Sheng completed his evolution, a stream of energy—far more vast and pure than before—was continuously flowing into her body through the Blood Covenant.

This was the one-tenth Qi Blood feedback from her Contracted Beast.

Although the mosquito’s Qi Blood Value hadn’t increased with its evolution...

...Gu Yuexi could feel that the quality of the Qi Blood it fed back to her was several times purer than before!

’It seems its Bloodline Level has risen again...’

’If the quality of its Qi Blood was previously equivalent to a Martial Artist cultivating a Yellow-rank Technique, then its current quality is at least equivalent to the Qi Blood from a Profound Tier Middle-Grade Technique!’

At the same realm, the higher the quality of one’s Qi Blood, the greater their combat power.

Gu Yuexi felt a hint of joy. If this mosquito could really continue to evolve indefinitely like this...

’...if it evolves into an Emperor-level Bloodline in the future... the feedback I get from it might not be any less than the dragon I contracted in my past life, right?’

’What a... powerful partner!’

Gu Yuexi had to admit it.

It had now earned the right to be her true companion!

But just then, she suddenly felt an extremely strong, almost tangible... resentment? coming from the other end of their bloodline connection.

Gu Yuexi: "?"

’Huh?’

’What’s it upset about?’

Gu Yuexi looked quizzically at the Nether Flame Blood Mosquito circling in the air, unable to figure it out.

’This guy just finished evolving and had a huge power boost. Shouldn’t it be happy? Why did it suddenly get all emo?’

Chu Sheng cursed the disloyal Empress viciously in his mind before gradually calming down.

’Even though the system kept twisting the knife, at least I have three new ways to get Evolution Points. The path forward is wider, and life is looking up.’

’It’s good, very good...’

Through Gu Yuexi’s thoughts, Chu Sheng also learned that they would be departing for Du Nan City tomorrow.

’Du Nan City...’

’The capital of Sui Ming Province. They say it’s a super-city that has sucked dry the resources of the entire province, ranking in the top ten of the whole Great Xia Federation.’

’Powerhouses and geniuses there must be a dime a dozen, right?’

’All sorts of powerful Demon Beasts and rare Bloodlines... definitely not something a small place like Jiang City can compare to!’

’When the time comes...’

’I’m gonna fucking SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK!!!’

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Jiang City Lingwu High School.

Wang Li and Liu Feng got out of a taxi.

"We’re finally here. This dump doesn’t even have car services. I’ve had it." Wang Li hadn’t stopped complaining the entire way.

Liu Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose, his face etched with exhaustion. "Teacher Wang, please, just say a little less. Let’s just find that student quickly, take her to Du Nan, and our mission will be complete!"

Just then, a figure approached quickly from a distance.

The person was dressed in a white robe and had a scholarly and elegant demeanor, yet his presence radiated a powerful aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

Wang Li glanced over instinctively and froze. An expression of incredulous, wild joy spread across her face. "Chair... Chairman Wang?!"

’He... He still hasn’t left?!’

Wang Li never dreamed she would actually get to see her idol here in person!

The vice-chairman of the provincial Spiritual Mind Master Association, a Seventh-Grade Powerhouse, Wang Jingming!

She had admired the chairman’s presence at countless conferences and in news footage. That face, that bearing—there was no way she could be mistaken!

Wang Li’s heart pounded wildly.

Overjoyed, she also immediately realized something—’This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!’

’I have to make a good impression on my idol!’

’Maybe, just maybe... if Chairman Wang takes a liking to me, he might make an exception and let me into the provincial Spiritual Mind Master Association?!’

’That’s the holy grail for every Spiritual Mind Master in all of Sui Ming Province!’

’It’d be a straight shot to the top!’

"Hm?" Wang Jingming also looked surprised. He had come specifically to deal with these two teachers and hadn’t expected to run into them right away.

Seeing the female teacher running toward him with an excited look on her face, he frowned in confusion.

"Hello, Chairman Wang! I’m Wang Li, a teacher from Du Nan First Middle School, and also a Third-Grade Spiritual Mind Master! I... I’ve admired you for a very long time!" Wang Li’s voice trembled with excitement.

Wang Jingming gave a slight nod, his tone a bit impatient. "You’re the teachers Du Nan First Middle School sent to handle the assessment?"

"Ah? How did you know?" Wang Li was stunned.

"I guessed," Wang Jingming said perfunctorily.

Wang Li didn’t overthink it, assuming he had guessed from the Du Nan First Middle School uniform she was wearing. She quickly nodded. "Yes, Chairman Wang, we are indeed here for a student’s transfer application!"

After speaking, she let out a long sigh, putting on a perfectly calibrated expression of exhaustion and grievance, and began to complain:

"Chairman, you have no idea how difficult this trip to Jiang City was for us! We were on the high-speed rail all day. When we got off, we couldn’t even get a private car and had to squeeze into a dirty, messy taxi. We were jostled around for ages before we finally got here!"

Wang Jingming: "?"

’Hold on, who asked you?’

’Are you insane? Why the hell should I care about your troubles?’

Liu Feng, standing beside her, felt his eyelids twitch as he listened, overcome with secondhand embarrassment.

’Lady, we were in first class, and the taxi was perfectly clean... Isn’t your performance a little over the top?’

Wang Li, completely oblivious to their reactions, continued her self-absorbed ’performance.’

Suddenly, her tone shifted, and she declared righteously, "However! Despite the arduous journey and humble conditions, as glorious people’s teachers, we can overcome any hardship!"

"For the reputation of our Du Nan First Middle School, and to live up to the trust the school has placed in us, we must treat every mission with the utmost seriousness and responsibility!"

She puffed out her chest, looking full of righteous indignation.

"That is why we traveled thousands of miles to personally assess the transfer applicant, to ensure that our school’s admission standards are absolutely fair, just, and transparent!"

Wang Jingming: "..."

Liu Feng: "..."

He couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He silently turned his head to the side, his toes curling so hard in his shoes he could have carved out a three-bedroom apartment.

’What sin did I commit to deserve a moron like her as a colleague...’

But Wang Li only grew more animated the more she spoke, thinking her performance was perfectly on point.

She suddenly slapped her thigh. "Chairman Wang, speaking of which, I’m just furious! We came here this time for a student named Gu Yuexi! Her applying to transfer to our Du Nan First Middle School is simply absurd!"
