Chapter 66: Chapter 64: New Achievement! Monthly Exam
The next day, Jiang Ye arrived at school early, carrying a large bag of potions.
Wang Ziang was also there early. Upon seeing Jiang Ye, he immediately waved him over.
"Jiang Ye." Wang Ziang called from the task wall, "Come over and submit the task."
"Submit the task?" Jiang Ye walked over.
It was only after seeing Wang Ziang’s operation that he understood.
After completing a task, one must come here to submit task details.
The school will issue rewards only after approval.
Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate and quickly submitted his report.
Just as he completed his submission.
The system panel suddenly popped up.
[You have achieved a new accomplishment: First completion of a sect task, calculating rewards...]
[Killed several enemies stronger than yourself, and helped the sect eliminate two enemies far stronger than you.]
[Unlock Title: Hitting a Stone with an Egg!]
[Hitting a Stone with an Egg: When facing opponents with a realm higher than your own, there is a chance to increase damage by 100% and inflict continuous bleeding.]
——
As lines of subtitles appeared.
Jiang Ye was startled.
"Damn!"
"Hitting a Stone with an Egg? 100% damage increase?"
Jiang Ye was shocked internally: "Awesome!"
It’s noteworthy that Beauty Path Chasing only increases damage by 50%.
100%? Unthinkable!
Moreover, according to the system’s introduction, it can inflict continuous bleeding effects, which are likely bug-level and ineffective against any form of blood-stopping methods.
"It’s a pity that it’s another probability event." Jiang Ye looked at the panel.
Probability has always been hard to predict.
With good luck, every move lands a critical hit.
With bad luck, you may not trigger it even once throughout a whole session.
"Jiang Ye." Wang Ziang laughed, "If there’s a team task in the future, call me."
This action had truly recognized Jiang Ye’s strength.
Jiang Ye nodded.
At that moment, an aloof girl with legs that couldn’t see the ground walked into the classroom.
"Class monitor."
Jiang Ye walked forward with his backpack: "I brought a total of twenty potion bottles."
Zhao Qingli nodded and placed a delicate suitcase on the desk.
"Click~"
Open the suitcase.
Suddenly, a charming aroma of medicine wafted out.
"What is this..." Jiang Ye looked at the suitcase, inside was a golden bronze fruit resembling ginseng.
"This is Upper Grade Yellow Tier Martial Ginseng." Zhao Qingli introduced, "Net weight 500g."
"Martial Ginseng? Upper Grade Yellow Tier?" Jiang Ye revealed an expression of surprise.
Martial Ginseng, the chosen Martial Arts ingredient of powerhouse martial artists.
Unlike tiger or leopard gall, it can be eaten raw without hassle.
But Martial Ginseng comes in many varieties.
According to celestial, earth, profound, and yellow ranks, celestial and earth tiers are almost extinct, while only profound and yellow circulate in the market.
Upper Grade Yellow Tier Martial Ginseng is the highest level regular folks can see, with a price of at least two thousand dollars per 100g.
500g is equivalent to ten thousand.
But according to the previous agreement, Jiang Ye could only receive 200g.
Zhao Qingli said proudly, "I couldn’t find the 200g package, so the additional 300g is a gift."
"Gift me 300g?" Jiang Ye looked shocked.
Soon he understood, saying no more.
Only 200g total, who in business would offer such a gift?
It was a silent thanks for saving Zhao Qingli earlier, both understood without speaking.
Zhao Qingli reminded, "Martial Ginseng helps in breaking bottlenecks; use it strategically, don’t waste it."
"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded.
Soon, Cao Feng entered the classroom and started the Martial Arts Class.
Time passed.
Near the end of class, Zhang Jianwu called Zhao Qingli aside.
Moments later, Zhao Qingli returned with her backpack and called Jiang Ye and Wang Ziang over.
"Money’s being handed out."
Zhao Qingli opened her backpack, which was brimming with cash.
She counted out fifty thousand and handed it to Jiang Ye: "Yours."
Jiang Ye accepted the hefty stack of cash, feeling incredibly fulfilled.
In all his lives, this was the first time he had been so wealthy.
"Earned enough for next Star Sky Refinement." Jiang Ye pondered, "But two more refinements need ten thousand dollars."
"Save slowly, ranking in the monthly exam grants lucrative scholarships."
If you rank in the top fifty of the grade, you can earn ten thousand federative currency.
Top twenty, you’re able to get twenty thousand.
Higher the rank, more money awarded.
Jiang Ye returned to his seat, silently planning.
After school, he used ten thousand to buy ten Dragon Pills from Zhao Qingli before leaving.
...
Life for Jiang Ye once again became calm, continuing the same daily routine.
Cultivation.
Day in and day out of cultivation.
Apart from cultural classes, he was almost entirely immersed in practicing his skills.
And surprisingly, within just a week Jiang Ye’s shoulder wound had fully healed.
This made Jiang Ye feel the formidable Upper A-grade constitution again.
For an ordinary person, such a wound would take a month or two to heal completely.
Its recovery allowed Jiang Ye to elevate his training intensity.
For instance, going from twice-weekly injections.
Shifting to three injections a week, up to five injections a week.
After continuous attempts.
Jiang Ye learned that with his current physique, as long as it’s not daily injections, he can completely negate side effects.
Through this rigorous enhancement, his abilities were evolving rapidly.
...
Time flies.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
February 28th.
Before the arrival of the monthly exam, a familiar face visited class one of grade twelve.
A young man with a burly build and sharp head stood at the classroom door.
He introduced himself, "My name is Li Zhichao, from grade twelve class nine..."
Among the crowd, Jiang Ye’s eyes shifted slightly.
Li Zhichao, an old classmate from class nine.
Once the first genius in class nine, now his Cultivation Technique reached perfection, transferring to a key class.
Moments later, Li Zhichao entered the classroom.
"Old classmate, long time no see." Jiang Ye went over to greet him.
"Jiang Ye!" Li Zhichao’s eyes lit up as well, "It’s been a long time."
Jiang Ye laughed, "Haven’t seen you for months, you’ve changed a lot."
Previously, Li Zhichao was quite slim, but now? He’s become very burly.
"Changed a lot?"
Li Zhichao nodded, grinned, "Now I take two shots daily, definitely better than before."
"..."
Jiang Ye’s eyelid twitched, wow, two daily shots?
Even after a Star Sky Refinement, he didn’t dare go that extreme!
Li Zhichao chuckled, "How about you, how’ve things been lately?"
Jiang Ye nodded: "Alright, everything’s normal."
Li Zhichao said: "I saw your last monthly exam ranking, how did you fall out of the grade’s top 100, isn’t adapting to the key class tough?"
Last month, Jiang Ye didn’t partake in the exam due to injuries.
Thus, his rank naturally dropped.
But Li Zhichao was unaware of this.
At this time, he mused: "Although Jiang Ye entered the key class ahead of me, these days, I’m taking two shots daily. My strength has drastically improved; maybe I can overtake Jiang Ye..."
While Li Zhichao was contemplating.
Cao Feng stepped into the classroom, saying seriously: "The monthly exam is about to start, everyone prepare!"
His words energized the entire class.
As the college entrance exam draws nearer.
Life in grade twelve is increasingly intense.
Every monthly exam has become the most important thing for everyone.
"Monthly exam, it’s finally here." Jiang Ye was prepared, feeling quite expectant.
