Chapter 92

In the following days, Jiang Yi and Qian Wangguan indeed suffered a tragic fate. Su Ruoxue did not sit at the foot of the mountain waiting for the students to return like Mentor Zhao. Instead, she followed the group up the mountain, constantly moving around. If the students were in danger, she would come to their aid, which made it impossible for Jiang Yi and Qian Wangguan to cheat. They could only honestly hunt the demonic beasts.

However, just on the second day, Qian Wangguan came up with another good idea. He had a group of people from the Qian family follow him and Jiang Yi. Since everyone was hunting demonic beasts together, the materials from the beasts would be divided between the two of them in advance. After completing their tasks, the two could openly find a place to cultivate or slack off. Su Ruoxue didn't care as long as the tasks were completed.

Every afternoon after returning to the academy, Jiang Yi would immediately rush to the meditation room and continue cultivating until midnight before returning to his own courtyard to sleep soundly. Continuous cultivation every day caused the yuan force in Jiang Yi's dantian to surge explosively. After breaking the seal, his cultivation speed could reach the level of a top genius. The Earth Essence Pill, enhanced by black yuan force, was comparable to a high-grade Earth-class pill. Combined with the threefold enhancement in the meditation room, one could imagine how fast Jiang Yi's cultivation speed was.

Jiang Niliu strangely did not come to cause trouble these few days. Qian Wangguan's people found that Jiang Niliu was cultivating in the East Courtyard all day without any action. Because Jiang Niliu was too calm, it made Jiang Yi and Qian Wangguan even more worried—dogs that bite don't bark...

Fortunately, Qian Wangguan and Jiang Yi had guaranteed that the strongest force Jiang Niliu could mobilize was only at the peak of the Zifu Realm. The safety of Jiang Yunhai and Jiang Xiaonu was not a problem, which slightly eased Jiang Yi's mind.

The next month was still calm, and Jiang Yi did not bother with it, focusing on cultivating his strength.

One and a half months later, on this day, Jiang Yi did not return to the dormitory to sleep. He didn't appear even when the class team gathered in the morning. If Qian Wangguan didn't know that Jiang Yi was cultivating in the meditation room, he would have thought Jiang Yi had disappeared.

"Qian Wangguan, where is Jiang Yi?" Su Ruoxue, after counting the number of people and seeing that Jiang Yi was not there, raised an eyebrow and looked at Qian Wangguan with doubt.

Qian Wangguan glanced south and said, "He should be meditating. I'll send someone to urge him."

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a green figure quickly rushed over. Everyone's eyes swept over, and many people showed looks of surprise. The surprise in Su Ruoxue's and Qian Wangguan's eyes was even more intense. After Jiang Yi rejoined the team, Su Ruoxue immediately asked, "Jiang Yi, did you break through to the sixth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm?"

Qian Wangguan also exclaimed, "Boss, you really broke through?"

Jiang Yi's eyes were full of smiles as he nodded and said, "Yes, I just broke through."

A nearby student, seeing their surprise, muttered in confusion, "Isn't it just breaking through to the sixth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm? What's so strange about it?"

Jiang Yi heard this and smiled, nodding, "Yeah, isn't it just breaking through to the sixth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm? Why are you all so surprised? There are plenty of students in the class at the eighth or ninth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm."

Qian Wangguan and Su Ruoxue rolled their eyes in unison. Others might not know, but they were the most aware, especially Su Ruoxue, who remembered clearly. In Tianyu City, Jiang Yi was only at the fourth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm. In just two months, his realm had advanced to the fifth level. Now, after being at the academy for more than two months, he had advanced another level...

Although Su Ruoxue knew that Jiang Yi had been cultivating in the meditation room and had the assistance of pills, advancing one level in two months was still terrifying. At this rate, he would soon catch up with those genius students. Most importantly, his strange combat power allowed him to reach the first level of the Zifu Realm at the fifth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm. If he reached the first level of the Zifu Realm, wouldn't he be able to sweep through a group of Zifu Realm martial artists?

"Let's go!"

Su Ruoxue glanced at Jiang Yi, and the unintentional charm she displayed made many male students lose their composure. She quickly regained her cold expression and led the team out of the academy.

"Boss, you're too strong. In just two months, you actually broke through a level!"

Qian Wangguan's eyes were full of admiration. He valued Jiang Yi's potential and identity. Although Jiang Yi's identity seemed unlikely, his rapid improvement in strength was very gratifying. Ordinary geniuses at the fifth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm would take at least half a year to break through to the sixth level...

"Qian Shao!"

When they ran out of the South Gate, Qian Wangguan was suddenly stopped by someone at the gate. The person whispered a few words to Qian Wangguan, who quickly caught up with Jiang Yi and said, "My second uncle has come to the Spirit Beast City. I have to go. Boss, be careful. I'll have Qian Fu and others follow you."

Jiang Yi nodded. Qian Wangguan briefly instructed a few students from the Qian family and quickly ran to Su Ruoxue. No one knew what he said to her, but the usually strict Su Ruoxue gave Qian Wangguan a day off.

Upon arriving at the mountain where they were to hunt demonic beasts, Jiang Yi and six or seven students from the Qian family easily hunted a few first-stage demonic beasts. Jiang Yi, as usual, sat under an ancient tree to cultivate, while the Qian family students searched for demonic beasts to hunt nearby.

"Jiang Yi!"

Not long into his cultivation, Jiang Yi was startled awake by a cold voice. He glanced down and saw a face as bright as the moon looking up at him.

He quickly leaped down and grinned, "Mentor Su, you're so leisurely?"

"Leisurely?" Su Ruoxue's almond eyes narrowed, and she angrily said, "Am I that old?"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Yi laughed and quickly apologized, "Isn't that a respectful term? Mentor Su looks younger than me, how could you be old?"

"Smooth talker!"

Su Ruoxue rolled her eyes but suddenly paused, realizing that she had been rolling her eyes a lot recently. This was unlike her. She felt a dangerous signal and immediately regained her cold expression, looking at Jiang Yi to see what kind of magic he had. How could he make her shed her icy exterior and reveal her true nature?

No matter how she looked, Jiang Yi still had that ordinary face and sincere smile, nothing out of the ordinary. Recalling Jiang Yi's words, they were nothing special, just some common phrases.

Looking at Jiang Yi's sincere smile, Su Ruoxue suddenly realized that perhaps it was his sincere attitude and casual words that made her lower her guard and shed her伪装的外衣，露出了本来性情。

"导师苏，你找我有什么事？我正在忙着修炼呢。"

Jiang Yi spoke casually, not treating Su Ruoxue like a mentor but more like a regular friend. This was his cleverness. In fact, the day he stood up to Jiang Niliu, there was another important reason: to win Su Ruoxue's favor!

Of course, he had no romantic intentions towards Su Ruoxue. He had no time to think about such matters. He wanted to win her favor for Jiang Xiaonu's sake.

Jiang Xiaonu needed the treatment from a Heaven-class healer in the academy. Su Ruoxue's status in the academy was extraordinary. If she could help, there would be a good chance of getting the healer to act. Why did he come to the academy? Wasn't it for Jiang Xiaonu? With such a good opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip.

To win Su Ruoxue's favor and become her friend, he had to treat her sincerely, seeing her as a friend without any romantic intentions. Clearly, Jiang Yi had been very successful. From the way Su Ruoxue unconsciously revealed her true nature when interacting with Jiang Yi, it was evident.

"也没什么事！主要是想问问你是怎么修炼的？怎么突破得那么快？" Su Ruoxue's eyes quickly returned to calm. Jiang Yi's mysterious strength surprised her greatly.

"嗷！"

At that moment, a shocking roar came from the distance, and a terrifying and fierce aura instantly enveloped the area. Jiang Yi, who was about to answer, suddenly changed his expression. He and Su Ruoxue exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and seriousness in each other's eyes. Jiang Yi asked in a low voice, "是二阶妖兽？"

"嗯，还是非常高级的！"

Before Su Ruoxue finished speaking, she was already sprinting toward the distance, shouting at the top of her lungs, "全体学员立即退回学院，这妖兽不是你们能对付的，快逃！"
