Chapter 26: Mid-Fourth-Grade, thoughts!

Although the academy faction also had many powerhouses,

there was no Ninth-Grade existence present.

Naturally, they couldn't refute the Ninth-Grade Southwest Viceroy Xu Wenshan.

The helpless academy faction could only have a debate.

There wasn't only one martial arts university in the Southwest!

Nanjiang Martial Arts University had the shortest inheritance time among these martial arts universities in the Southwest.

With some compensation from other martial arts universities, Nanjiang Martial Arts University helplessly took on this task.

And Qingshan Base was relatively close to Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

In order to allow Qingshan Base to receive support faster when something happened,

Nanjiang Martial Arts University couldn't escape either.

But this task falling to Nanjiang Martial Arts University didn't end there.

The reason was simple: Nanjiang Martial Arts University had several colleges.

None of the colleges wanted to undertake this task.

Fourth-Grade martial artists, on average, each college only had about ten or so.

After all, the foundation of Nanjiang Martial Arts University was still a bit lacking.

Every middle-grade martial artist was a treasure.

This was also the reason why Jiang Hekang’s attitude toward Ning An was so good before.

Many colleges argued for a long time for this candidate.

As time passed!

In the state of cultivation in dreams, Ning An’s time ended unconsciously.

"Mid-Fourth-Grade!"

And at this time, Ning An’s cultivation finally completed a breakthrough.

It had been almost two months since the breakthrough.

Breaking through a small realm!

For many martial artists, it was something they dared not imagine.

Especially middle-grade martial artists; breaking through a small realm wasn't that easy.

Even for some prodigies, it might take half a year.

This was thanks to the peak early Third-Grade before, plus the triple cultivation speed in dreams.

Finally, the breakthrough of this small realm was completed.

However, Ning An, who had just come out of seclusion, saw the summoning information from the dean.

"Could it be that something happened!?"

Ning An was a bit confused at first.

But without hesitation, he set off immediately!

After all, this old man Jiang Hekang was indeed good to him.

After arriving at the dean’s office, Ning An found Jiang Hekang’s face very serious.

"Dean, is there anything wrong!?"

This made Ning An even more curious and asked directly.

Jiang Hekang was silent for a while and didn't speak immediately.

He didn't expect that this task would finally fall on their Elixir College.

After searching through many Fourth-Grades in the Elixir College, no one was willing to serve as the leader of Qingshan Base!

Finally, Jiang Hekang set his sights on Ning An.

The reason was simple: Ning An was from Qingshan Base and was very likely to agree.

But Jiang Hekang was still very reluctant in his heart.

Because this would greatly delay Ning An’s cultivation speed.

Now Ning An had shown a lot of potential.

So he planned to ask for Ning An’s opinion first.

"The previous leader of Qingshan Base had an accident while supporting."

"He fell into the hands of exotic beasts, leading to a vacancy."

"Although there are many Fourth-Grade martial artists in the entire Southwest region, none of them are interested."

Jiang Hekang still explained the ins and outs of this matter.

This matter was even discussed for nearly a month.

Even Ning An’s brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

Serving as the leader of Qingshan Base!?

From the perspective of his hometown, going back would allow him to take good care of his family.

However, what benefits would that have!?

Going back to Qingshan Base, the restrictions were not few.

The most critical issue was resources.

Of course, if you look at it from another angle,

it wasn't impossible!

Ning An’s current cultivation relied more on the extraction of abilities.

Having a good ability was more important than the environment.

Plus, going back to Qingshan Base had another benefit.

That was being able to hide some cultivation and also forge some opportunities.

For him now, with the golden finger, he could just take his time.

If the school gave enough conditions, it wasn't impossible to guard Qingshan Base.

Although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, Ning An’s face still showed a very difficult expression.

"Dean, although Qingshan Base is my hometown,"

"but the cultivation environment is too different."

"I still want to impact the high-grade martial artist realm."

Ning An was not polite at all!

Facing Ning An’s words, even Jiang Hekang couldn't refute.

"Xiao An, this matter needs someone to go."

"Qingshan Base hasn't had a Fourth-Grade guarding it for almost a month."

"Viceroy Xu is already urging!"

"Why don't you go and substitute for a while?"

Jiang Hekang’s face showed a helpless look and he still comforted him.

Just like that, after talking for an hour,

Ning An finally loosened up a bit!

As for conditions, that wasn't a problem.

Especially since Ning An wanted spirit stones, this matter was even simpler.

This was much better than wanting some precious resources.

He even personally subsidized Ning An with one million spirit stones.

In addition, Ning An took the opportunity to borrow ten million spirit stones from the school.

The kind without any interest, agreeing to pay it back in five years.

It could be said that Ning An took advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit from the school. ===== CHAPTER 65 =====

Finally, Jiang Hekang agreed to Ning An’s conditions.

On one hand, he really considered the difficulty of Ning An earning resources.

On the other hand, Ning An would have a long life ahead and didn't need to worry about not being able to pay it back.

And a Fourth-Grade martial artist’s next battlefield harvest would be at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

After everything was agreed upon!

Ning An also began to prepare for returning to Qingshan Base.

For Qingshan Base, it indeed didn't affect his idea of being low-key.

Secondly, Ning An was confident he could come back.

The simplest method was to step into the Fifth-Grade martial arts level.

Whether it was the Southwest or Nanjiang Martial Arts University,

they wouldn't easily place a Fifth-Grade at Qingshan Base.

Because they weren't that extravagant yet!

Especially since Qingshan Base’s geographical location was good, and the reason it had never had a high-grade martial artist sitting in charge was also because of this.

"The previous leader of Qingshan was also amazing to be able to die in battle while supporting."

Even Ning An couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although Qingshan Base was indeed at the bottom, that was true.

But its safety was indeed better than many bases.

Wasn't it good to stay honestly? The Southwest never counted on Qingshan Base to support other bases.

However, before returning to Qingshan Base, there was one more thing.

That was the problem of Xue Lingci!

The current Xue Lingci had gotten used to life at Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

She got along well with several roommates!

Plus, with some of Ning An’s secret care, life was still going well.

Fortunately, Xue Lingci also knew that this kind of life would only last for one year.

If she wanted to survive, she had to cultivate desperately!

Earlier, Xue Lingci had lived with her grandmother, so she didn't lack strength and perseverance.

Under Ning An’s encouragement, Xue Lingci’s ranking among freshmen was no longer at the bottom.

Xue Lingci didn't reveal her relationship with Ning An to anyone.

When she received Ning An’s message, she found an excuse and came to the instructor’s apartment.

"Teacher Ning!"

Although Xue Lingci hadn't called Ning An "Dad" or anything, she still respected him very much.

Because she knew it was the special training that gave her the qualification to enter the martial arts university.

It was also this person who recommended her, and she got the special admission quota.

"I will return to Qingshan Base for a period of time."

"If you have anything, you can call me."

"In addition, these are resources to assist in blood energy cultivation."

"I hope that after this school year, you can still appear at Nanjiang Martial Arts University."

Ning An said directly, his words still carrying a lot of earnestness.

Standing from the perspective of an elder, he sincerely hoped that Xue Lingci could go further on the martial arts path.

"Thank you, Teacher Ning!"

Xue Lingci wasn't someone who didn't understand anything and thanked him from the bottom of her heart.

Ning An quickly let Xue Lingci go back!

Because he was already prepared to return to Qingshan Base.

After becoming the leader of Qingshan Base, one benefit was that his passage was more convenient.

Even the school gave him a special pass.

This was a long-term one!

Although Ning An probably wouldn't be able to use it.

After all, sitting in Qingshan Base next, unless there were some special circumstances,

it would be impossible for him to leave Qingshan Base.

Of course, for Ning An, this didn't count for anything.

Because he expected his speed of breaking through to the Fifth-Grade shouldn't be too slow.

Even if the speed of drawing the golden finger was good, the speed of stepping into the Fifth-Grade might be faster.

The time he could stay in Qingshan Base might not be long.

Actually, this time returning to Qingshan Base, he also had the idea of compensating his family.

After all, he hadn't been home many times over the years.

Plus, now that his daughter had just started cultivating, she also needed some guidance.

Although Wen Zhiqiao was a martial artist and could also guide her,

it certainly wouldn't be as effective as Ning An’s guidance.

And it wouldn't delay his own cultivation.

This time, Ning An didn't notify Wen Zhiqiao and the others first when returning to Qingshan Base.

Mainly because he wanted to give them a surprise!

Another thing was that Qingshan Base definitely had many affairs to deal with.

The first thing Ning An did after getting off the plane was destined not to be going home first.

But to go and check the situation of the entire Qingshan Base.

Although he was from Qingshan Base, it didn't mean he had much understanding of Qingshan Base.

Not to mention that Qingshan Base had a full ten million people.

The guard army was even over one hundred thousand, although many people here were not martial artists.

But controlling some technological weapons, the strength was still okay.
