Chapter 33

These students were walking on thin ice, but they were unaware of it.

Everything was within Ning An's plan.

Previously, Ning An had already cleared out this area.

He even borrowed the aura of some powerful beasts to drive away any exotic beasts above the martial artist tier.

Secondly, he limited them to a certain range.

This way, Ning An could easily look after them.

If an accident were to happen even then, it would simply be the fate of these students.

Fortunately, the eight students had a very fulfilling day.

Amidst the tension and anxiety, they successfully hunted several exotic beasts.

These exotic beasts were still worth a little money.

However, it wasn't spirit stones, but Xia Yuan!

Ordinary people cannot afford to use spirit stones; they use Xia Yuan.

And one spirit stone can be exchanged for ten thousand Xia Yuan; this is the ratio set by the authorities.

This is also why, if someone becomes a martial artist, it is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

A First Grade martial artist receives a subsidy of ten spirit stones a year!

That is equivalent to one hundred thousand Xia Yuan; as long as one is not too extravagant, it is enough for an ordinary person to live very well.

After nightfall, Ning An brought the eight students back to the Qingshan base.

Including Wen Zhiqiao had been waiting outside the base gate early on.

When she saw Ning An and his group, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, everyone is back!"

Including Wen Zhiqiao couldn't help but sigh in relief and murmur.

If any student had died, it would not have been easy to handle.

Although these students were all volunteers, their families might not necessarily think the same way.

Once she felt relieved, Including Wen Zhiqiao also had the patience to observe the changes in the students.

If one were to say the students were full of spirit seven days ago.

Now, these eight people had a bit of a murderous and irritable aura.

But this feeling was more dangerous than before.

Very obvious!

Over this week, the changes in the eight students were quite significant.

"The special training ends here!"

"Next, you just need to cultivate your Qi and blood and maintain daily exercise; that will be enough."

Ning An did not forget to give his final instructions.

Under the stimulation of this half-month of training and the wilderness.

Their bodies had reached an optimal state for cultivation in a short period.

Now was the time to improve their strength!

At the very least, these eight students had a good chance of reaching five hundred cards of Qi and blood before the college entrance examination.

The rest was up to Including Wen Zhiqiao.

In any case, there wasn't much time left before the college entrance examination.

And over this week, the mall's flash sale refreshed again.

However, this time he didn't have as much luck as the previous two times; what refreshed were just some elixirs.

Ning An held a calm mindset!

During the first refresh, the ten thousand spirit stones invested in a Wisdom Spirit Fruit had already been earned back.

Ning An spent the following time cultivating at home, while also keeping his elders and child company.

Meanwhile, the martial arts college entrance examination was getting closer and closer for Including Wen Zhiqiao.

She often ran to the school, but because of the special training.

She was still very enthusiastic toward Ning An, especially at night.

Just like that, a month passed by without realizing it.

"Century-old ginseng combined with Pulse-Protecting Pill!"

"My cultivation base has finally reached the peak of the Third Grade."

"Now, I am just one step away from the Fourth Grade."

Ning An slowly walked out of his home cultivation room, a smile appearing on his face as he thought.

He knew that the reason he was able to break through so quickly this time.

Was entirely due to the lingering momentum from his previous accumulation; secondly, the first three grades of Martial Dao are all about cultivating the body.

His own body's tolerance was already sufficient.

Coupled with spiritual items like the century-old wild ginseng, the breakthrough was a logical progression.

After the Third Grade, the next natural step was to look toward the Fourth Grade.

If it were in the past, Ning An wouldn't have even dared to think about the Fourth Grade.

But now that he had his golden finger, he could fully attempt it.

According to records, reaching the Fourth Grade requires condensing the momentum of Martial Dao.

What is the momentum of Martial Dao? In one sentence: materialized aura.

Some people condense their own aura through the path of being invincible at the Third Grade to step into the Fourth Grade of Martial Dao.

Others successfully condense their own Martial Dao momentum after experiencing great sorrow and joy.

The most important point representing the step into the Fourth Grade is mental power!

"No rush!"

Ning An was still able to keep his cool and didn't force a breakthrough.

Instead, he chose to settle down a bit more!

He was thirty years old, not twenty.

"I'll just strive to break through before the start of the semester."

"There should be about three months left until the semester starts."

"If I draw a better ability, I'll have a chance to break through."

Ning An couldn't help but think silently!

But as time passed, he also had to return to Nanjiang Martial Arts University.
