cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he entered the campus cultivation chamber or a private cultivation residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flowing Light Jade would lose its effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer boosting his cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it still slightly increased his spiritual energy affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Jiang Jian, the Flowing Light Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was equivalent to a portable miniature campus cultivation chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Flowing Light Jade would produce no such effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when in a state of cultivation would the Flowing Light Jade activate automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others could not, like Jiang Jian,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remain in a state of cultivation at all times—it was too

one chance left to settle my academic credits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My current academic credits are 8,150—more than enough for the short term.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian opened the academy platform and checked his academic credits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the aerial shuttle landed in the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian had already planned his cultivation schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to climb too high in the Heavenly Ladder ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the top 200 would grant him 2,200 credits—more than sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest benefit of this approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that he wouldn’t need to fight in the Heavenly Ladder every night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would save him a great deal of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if his rank dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would only be because someone above him pushed him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would fall one position at a time, gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might take a full week before he dropped below rank 500.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the dormitory residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian stepped off the aerial shuttle and entered the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notification sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian opened his identity device and glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a real-time message from his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Jian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sister asked, “What did you buy

opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian returned to his apartment, set down his bag, and said, “A divine gift weapon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhao said, “I already have one—I received a Level 1 divine gift weapon when I first entered Divine Gift University.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jiang Jian could reply, she continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, did you not see the message

useful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember to take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his sister’s voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian sat down on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray
