Chapter 22: Sighs, half a month

Ning An quickly brought the group back to the apartment.

Ning An’s mother and Ning Xiaonuan shared a room, while Xue Lingci had a room to herself.

As for the couple, Ning An and Wen Zhiqiao, that went without saying.

"Rest well for the first day!"

"Wait until tomorrow to start cultivating."

Ning An spoke first.

Wen Zhiqiao and the others had no objections!

From taking the plane to Nanjiang, to touring and eating after arriving,

before they knew it, it was already evening.

Throughout the day, the Ning family had been very excited.

Even Ning An’s mother was very happy; after all, it was rare to be able to travel and see her son.

Although sometimes Ning An’s mother would complain about Ning An verbally,

it was mostly just talk.

For the Ning family, this day was undoubtedly full of surprises. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====

Of course, they also witnessed the gap between Nanjiang and Qingshan Base.

There was a huge difference in spiritual energy alone.

Not to mention other supplies and materials; as a war zone, Nanjiang received priority supply.

Conversely, Qingshan Base had a population of over ten million.

It often faced issues of insufficient supplies.

Sometimes even seafood had to be fought over every time.

There was no help for it; the Southwest region was quite a distance from the coast.

Transporting it wasn't easy, and the costs were not low.

When the next day arrived!

Ning An began to teach Wen Zhiqiao and the others how to cultivate.

After stepping into the Fourth-Grade, with the help of spiritual power, one could more accurately assess a person’s state.

This included providing more precise guidance for their cultivation.

Previously, Ning An’s guidance to students relied mainly on experience.

Now it was completely different; he could judge more accurately.

Because they were family, Ning An certainly wouldn't be like he was during special training.

Instead, he patiently pointed out the problems in Wen Zhiqiao and the others’ cultivation.

Meanwhile, Ning An’s mother took Ning Xiaonuan to visit the neighbors.

Now that Ning An had stepped into the Fourth-Grade, he was no longer the "small transparent" he once was.

Plus, since they were giving gifts, many instructors were very polite.

This was also why Ning An didn't stop them!

In just half a month, Ning Xiaonuan had a lot of fun.

She ran all over Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Many students became aware of Ning Xiaonuan’s identity.

Most students were quite envious.

Because with such a father, Ning Xiaonuan’s future path would be much easier.

Although there were many from humble backgrounds rising in the era of spiritual energy recovery,

every prodigy active in the martial arts college entrance exam

still mostly had some background!

There was almost no one with truly heaven-defying aptitude.

As Ning An stepped into the middle-grade martial artist realm, as long as another generation of middle-grade martial artists was produced,

they could basically be called a martial arts family.

Of course, Ning An, who had a golden finger, certainly wouldn't stop there.

The remaining students had a very stable mindset.

Because even if the parents were martial artists, there were plenty of children with poor aptitude.

It was really hard to say about this Instructor Ning’s daughter.

Naturally, there was nothing to envy.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and half a month went by.

First, Xue Lingci had officially enrolled; Nanjiang Martial Arts University had started its freshman semester a week ago.

Fortunately, Ning An had asked about the reason for her failure earlier.

Otherwise, even if Wen Zhiqiao tried to remedy it later,

Ning An wouldn't have been able to let Xue Lingci enroll as a special student.

After all, school had already started; if Xue Lingci joined later, it would inevitably raise questions.

At that point, it would be troublesome!

So, Xue Lingci could be considered lucky.

After Xue Lingci enrolled with the many freshmen, she naturally lived in the student dormitory.

She rarely came to Ning An’s side!

However, it was estimated that Xue Lingci also had some self-confidence and didn't want to be called a "backdoor" student.

Ning An didn't stop anything; he even approved of Xue Lingci’s decision.

"If you want to make real friends, you need shared experiences."

Many students formed groups!

Even back in the day, Ning An had teamed up to do school missions.

After all, he wasn't a prodigy, so his initial missions required teaming up.

Of course, when teaming up, teamwork was very important.

If one could team up with friends, that was undoubtedly the best.

And Wen Zhiqiao’s cultivation also saw a breakthrough.

First-Grade late-stage cultivation!

Ning An gave his wife enough resources.

It wasn't impossible for her to step into the Second-Grade before the age of thirty.

With his step into the Fourth-Grade, his ability to earn money increased significantly.

Naturally, he was very generous to Wen Zhiqiao.

Wen Zhiqiao didn't stand on ceremony, because she knew her husband really didn't lack this much.

After the breakthrough in cultivation, Wen Zhiqiao and the others set off on the road back to Qingshan Base.

Having been away for half a month, it was already a very long time.

If they stayed any longer, school would really be starting! ===== CHAPTER 56 =====

Normally, Ning An should be observing some freshmen at this time.

Because among the freshmen, there would be his students.

Good students are also very important to an instructor.

But with the changes in the system at Nanjiang Martial Arts University this year,

the matter of taking on students wasn't urgent.

Because he had to wait until a year later!

This meant Ning An had another year of relative free time.

"Plans can't keep up with changes!"

Even Ning An couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, this year didn't mean he had nothing to do.

He still had to cultivate, including cooperating with school arrangements.

However, he wasn't in a hurry about students now.

Especially since stepping into the Fourth-Grade, those who wanted to apprentice under him should be the ones in a hurry.

Most importantly, there was still a year left, and Ning An didn't know how far he could go.

After Wen Zhiqiao and the others left!

He re-entered the Nanjiang battlefield.

While the double combat power bonus was still active, he wanted to hunt more Barbarian tribesmen.

And strive to earn more spirit stones!

But after reaching the Fourth-Grade, hunting wasn't that easy.

After all, the Barbarian tribes weren't stupid and wouldn't let you hunt them foolishly.

Especially since many Barbarian tribes had a special form of communication.

"A fight with a Fourth-Grade won't end quickly."

"It’s not as cost-effective as the Third-Grade!"

Ning An thought silently; after all, he was currently at the early Fourth-Grade. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
