Chapter 20: One Day Entry!

"Principal, I can't hold on anymore; Chen Yan is truly a freak."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Gao Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at the Classroom where Chen Yan was; if the Principal hadn't asked just now and Chen Yan hadn't responded,

he would have truly thought Chen Yan had died inside.

Watching Gao Yuan leave, Principal Zhang Yue was also full of helplessness; it seemed Chen Yan really intended to use up all twelve hours at once.

Using it all at once, what use were the books he had prepared?

Wasn't it said that the Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method was very difficult to comprehend the first time, and would even be extremely painful?

How was it that Chen Yan was so freakish here?

Or was it that Chen Yan was purely wasting time and hadn't comprehended the core inside the Origin Crystal at all?

"Chen Yan, if you can't hold on, don't force it; the twelve hours are fixed."

Zhang Yue spoke up.

"It's fine, Principal, I'm still okay!" Chen Yan replied from inside the Classroom.

"Heh..." Zhang Yue was helpless; he was already an old bag of bones, he couldn't hold on anymore, he wanted to sleep.

"Principal, is Chen Yan still there?"

Wang Yang, carrying four portions of rice, arrived at the front; after understanding the situation just now, he had specifically gone to notify Chen Yuhu that there was no need to wait, and then bought some food over.

"Wang Yang, you've come at a good time, a very good time." Zhang Yue smiled and took the food from Wang Yang's hands:

"Let's chat for a while; I don't know where that Martial Officer went. Originally, keeping watch was his job."

Wang Yang shook his head; the other party was a martial artist, and not an ordinary one at that. The rules that ordinary people needed to follow, in their view, actually didn't need to be observed.

Inside the Classroom.

Chen Yan took off his upper garment, which was stained with blood; his whole body was covered in blood and sweat, and the corners of his mouth twitched from pain from time to time.

Who knew that practicing the Breathing Method would be like this.

Following the person inside the Origin Crystal to practice breathing, every breath seemed to involve his own flesh, blood, and bones; Chen Yan even felt his skin crawling, every pore struggling.

It hurt!

Yet, beyond the pain, it was exhilarating.

He knew he was truly becoming stronger.

He could feel his bones growing stronger, his skin and flesh developing toward being sturdier and more resilient.

Pain, fatigue, bitterness, and he had even felt the sensation of suffocation several times.

But compared to these, how could it be more difficult than having one's dignity trampled upon at will for a thousand yuan?

How could it be more painful than having a car accident, having his Sister also have a car accident, and knowing there was a problem but being able to do nothing?

Sometimes, for that bit of dignity, he needed to train day and night, and engage in internal Dao of Struggle every day and night.

Compared to these, although he was suffering, being able to feel himself getting stronger was truly too easy.

If he learned it all today, he could practice by himself tomorrow; the sooner he stepped onto the right track, the sooner he would become more powerful.

"Break-Saint Tree!"

Chen Yan shouted inwardly, while comprehending the Origin Crystal of the 【Red Gang Body Casting Canon】, he also paid attention to the changes within the Po Saint Realm.

【Po Saint Realm: Level 2 (5/15)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Force: (95/100)

Blood (36/100)

Technique: (55/100)】

The condensation speed of the Technique Character Sacred Fruit slowed down.

But it had still grown to more than half again; now, what Chen Yan was most concerned about was the Force Character Sacred Fruit.

Although the growth of the Force Character Sacred Fruit was not as large as the Technique Character's, it was now clearly about to be full.

His physical state was very poor now, with many negative effects.

But as long as he consumed one Force Character Sacred Fruit, not only would his strength increase, but the negative conditions of his own body would also disappear by more than half.

Once he recovered, then he would hold on for as long as he could!

Time passed slowly.

It was early morning.

"This Chen Yan..." Principal Zhang Yue pursed his lips and gave a bitter smile:

"Nonsense."

Wang Yang, who was to the side, put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled:

"Then the Principal should just sleep."

"I can't." Zhang Yue shook his head hurriedly:

"This is an order from a Second-Rank Martial Officer; do you dare to disobey?"

"Ugh!"

A loud cry came from inside the Classroom, and Zhang Yue was overjoyed:

"Chen Yan, are you coming out?"

"No, Principal, I'm continuing!" Chen Yan replied; inside the Classroom, he had consumed a Force Character Sacred Fruit, the soreness in his body instantly disappeared, his mental state returned to its peak, and he couldn't help but let out a cry.

Feeling his even more powerful strength and body, a smile appeared at the corners of Chen Yan's mouth; continue!

Outside the Classroom, Zhang Yue was helpless; he supported his head and sighed lightly.

As for the side, Wang Yang's Pupil flickered.

Time passed slowly.

Three-thirty AM.

"Wang Yang." Zhang Yue spoke up.

"Principal, what is it?" Wang Yang asked.

"I'm going to sleep for a bit; you help me watch the time. Chen Yan went in at four-thirty in the afternoon, so when it reaches four-thirty in the morning, you call him out."

As he spoke, Zhang Yue handed the key to the Classroom where Chen Yan was located to Wang Yang, then carried the box himself and walked into another Classroom to start resting.

Wang Yang began to watch the time.

Time passed slowly.

Four-thirty AM, this is the coldest and darkest time of the day.

"Teacher, is it time yet?"

Inside the Classroom, Chen Yan had already consumed a Ji Character Fruit containing full Breathing Method techniques half an hour ago.

His understanding of the 【Red Gang Body Casting Canon】 had reached a brand new height, and the rate of his breathing-based body tempering had risen significantly.

Wang Yang Stood Up, listening to the faint snoring coming from the room next door, and whispered:

"Do you feel like you can hold on?"

"I can hold on, Wang Laoshi." Chen Yan said.

"Chen Yan..." Wang Yang's Mu Guang flickered:

"Sit by the door to absorb it; once I cough, you must ensure you hand the Origin Crystal to me immediately."

Inside the Classroom, Chen Yan was stunned; he could hear the conversation outside the Classroom and also knew what Wang Yang was going to do.

Outside the Classroom, Wang Yang whispered:

"Chen Yan, you were born in humble circumstances, and I know you are upright, but sometimes, you must seize the opportunity.

You might not be happy, but they don't care; they are high and mighty, so naturally, they don't care. If you want to go against the current, you must cherish every single opportunity."

Inside the Classroom, Chen Yan opened his Mouth; this was a risk, but he could obtain benefits. What about Wang Yang?

But Wang Yang was helping him, purely helping him.

He might have had inner conflict, but he could not let down Wang Yang's painstaking efforts.

If he refused, what would Wang Yang think?

"Teacher..." Chen Yan said in a low voice.

A look of Disappointment appeared in Wang Yang's eyes, and he shook his head slowly.

"Can you help me prepare a set of new clothes?" Chen Yan said softly inside the Classroom.

……………

Seven-thirty AM, when the morning glow had long since illuminated the entire Qingshan Town.

Ding-a-ling!

A bell sound startled the entire Town.

"Cough!" Wang Yang gave a dry cough at the door, took the Origin Crystal passed through the door crack, quickly closed the Classroom door, and then put the Origin Crystal into the Iron Box.

"It's seven-thirty!"

In the next Classroom, Zhang Yue exclaimed and walked out of the Classroom quickly, only to see Wang Yang sitting on a bench in the Corridor, with the Iron Box containing the Origin Crystal sitting prominently on the table.

"Is Chen Yan back?" Zhang Yue glanced at the Classroom door opposite that was already closed.

"He left."

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Zhang Yue took the metal box with a hint of resentment.

"You are the leader, I wouldn't dare." Wang Yang laughed.

"It's my fault too..." A trace of annoyance flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes, and he carried the box, preparing to leave:

"By the way, how much time did Chen Yan use?"

Wang Yang's Pupil flashed and he was about to speak, but he saw the subtle look in Zhang Yue's eyes as he looked at him. Wang Yang pursed his lips:

"This child, sigh, he used it all up at once."

"Hmm." Zhang Yue nodded:

"After all, it was a mission given by a Second-Stage Warrior; we cannot afford to be careless."

Zhang Yue went to the Office first, and Wang Yang went to Class Three.

It wasn't until around eight o'clock that Chen Yan, hiding inside the Classroom, heard the sound of the door opening.

A set of clothes was shoved in through the door crack.

"Go home first; you can rest for these three days, but you must come to Xue Xiao on the fourth day.

Just now the Principal said that the winners of this True Martial Prize Money can go to the County Town to join the True Martial Class; I will notify you in a few days."

Wang Yang's voice came from outside the door. Chen Yan changed into the clothes, and when he walked out of the Classroom, Wang Yang had already Disappeared at the end of the Corridor.

A trace of gratitude and complexity appeared in Chen Yan's eyes, and then he bypassed the other students and ran toward home.

Ssh!

On the Xiang Lu, Chen Yan spat out a mouthful of White Mist.

"Have I already reached Entry Level?"

Chen Yan murmured; he had comprehended the Origin Crystal and also had some understanding of the Breathing Method's Entry Level.

He should be at Entry Level now.

Entry Level in one day!

…………

Ten AM, Chu Feiyuan, yawning, arrived at the Principal's Office.

At this moment, Yu Zhiwen and Gao Yuan were sitting upright on the sofa.

"You all came over so early?" Chu Feiyuan was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, we have been waiting for you," Principal Zhang Yue said with a flattering laugh.

Glancing at Yu Zhiwen and Gao Yuan, Chu Feiyuan said nonchalantly:

"Isn't there one more?"

After he finished speaking, the expressions of Gao Yuan and Yu Zhiwen became strange.

They looked at each other; they had just arrived at the Office of Zhang Yue and learned that Chen Yan had used up twelve hours of Origin Crystal absorption all at once.

Gao Yuan was still in a state of shock, but Yu Zhiwen frowned and whispered two words.

Wasteful.

"Chen Yan," Zhang Yue laughed heartily:

"He already used up the twelve hours last night."

"Hm?" Chu Feiyuan was stunned for a long moment:

"Used it all up?"

"Yes," Zhang Yue said helplessly:

"This child, I don't know why, insisted on using it all at once."

Chu Feiyuan frowned:

"To be able to hold on for twelve hours on the first try, even Xuansheng cannot do that."

"How could that child compare to Xuansheng? He has a stubborn personality; I tried to persuade him several times," Zhang Yue laughed.

Chu Feiyuan nodded, walked to the window, and sighed softly.

He was just speaking casually; how could this godforsaken place possibly have someone who could be mentioned in the same breath as Xuansheng?

If just anyone could compare to Xuansheng, then Xuansheng would be far too exhausted.

It seemed the matter Zhang Ge mentioned last night was a bust, and he couldn't possibly take direct action against Chen Yan or anything like that.

Destroying someone's aptitude through an Origin Crystal could still be done without a sound or Color, but if he took action himself, wouldn't he just be making an enemy for himself?

Zhang Ge could just suffer in silence; if he hadn't insisted on getting two women for him last night, he wouldn't have arrived so late this morning.

As for the money, naturally, it would not be returned.

Zhang Ge did not yet have the qualifications to tell him, Chu Feiyuan, to spit out money he had already obtained.
