Chapter 71: About to Set Out

This is Lu Jing's first time synthesizing a top‑grade Dan Medicine.

He had previously taken many high‑level Dan Medicines, so he naturally knows how formidable a Dan Medicine rated as high‑quality in synthesis can be.

If nothing goes wrong, after Zhang Hao fully absorbs the medicine's power into his body, he should be able to cross the threshold of Martial University.

Getting into a prestigious Martial University may be hopeless, but passing an ordinary Martial University is well within reach.

After saying goodbye to Leng Yueyue and Zhang Hao, Lu Jing walks alone along the campus path.

On both sides of the path are rows of ginkgo trees, their fan‑shaped leaves coating the teal floor tiles with a layer of gold.

"The wonderful high school life ends completely here..."

Lu Jing puts his hands in his pockets, unable to hold back a sigh.

Soon, some students notice Lu Jing's presence.

Before long, a large crowd follows Lu Jing, chattering loudly.

"Senior Lu, you are our idol!"

"Lu Jing, well done!"

Lu Jing quickens his pace, realizing he had underestimated his own influence.

A student like him, who at eighteen passed the Martial Association's second‑level Martial Artist certification and possesses the strength to defeat a Four Realm Warrior, is a legendary figure in Anwu City and even throughout East Sichuan Province.

These vigorous teenage students have already taken Lu Jing as an inspirational role model and a goal to strive for.

Even if Lu Jing leaves Second High School and enters Martial University, the legend of Lu Jing will continue to circulate at Second High School.

The principal of Second High School even plans to build a wall at the school specifically to hang Lu Jing's photos and achievements.

With Lu Jing as a living example, Second High School's enrollment rate in Anwu City will remain at the top.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lu Jing is delayed for a while; when he exits the school gate, dusk is already near.

Suddenly, a burly man runs out of the campus and calls out to Lu Jing.

"Lu Jing, wait a moment!"

Lu Jing turns around and sees Teacher Cheng Tiankuo, who previously granted him a spot in the Genius Training Camp.

"Teacher Cheng, is there something?"

"The Genius Training Camp starts in three days; are you ready?"

Lu Jing nods, "Don't worry, Teacher Cheng, I won't disappoint you."

Cheng Tiankuo smiles with satisfaction, "I'm of course confident in your strength; I didn't expect that after just a month without seeing you, your power would have risen to this level."

After speaking, Cheng Tiankuo pats Lu Jing's shoulder, "After this Genius Training Camp ends, there will be a ranking among the trainees; if you place near the top, there are benefits you can claim, so give it a try."

"Hmm, then I'll aim for first place."

"You kid, still so confident..."

Cheng Tiankuo shakes his head helplessly, "The Genius Training Camp you're joining gathers talents from across East Sichuan Province, including many Talent Endowed like Ye Shaohua; you should be cautious. Ye Shaohua was originally going to participate, but after you beat him like this, he probably can't even get out of bed for a while."

Lu Jing instantly becomes interested, "Are there many more Talent Endowed? I thought they were few in number."

"It's true they're few, but among top geniuses, the proportion of Talent Endowed is still high; after all, it's not easy for ordinary people to be called a genius."

After speaking, Cheng Tiankuo subconsciously glances at Lu Jing's fist.

He scratches his head, unable to understand how such a pair of fair hands can directly disperse that terrifying flame.

After a brief chat with Cheng Tiankuo, Lu Jing takes a taxi back home.

With three days left before the Genius Training Camp, he decides to further boost his strength.

During this time, Qin Ziyi calls, informing Lu Jing about the production and sale of the Dan Medicine.

The Dan Medicine has only been on sale for a few days, but market feedback is excellent; it's estimated that soon the first batch of dividends can be given to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing can tell from Qin Ziyi's voice that the Dan Medicine should sell well.

That reassures him a lot; once the Dan Medicine path is taken, it becomes a continuously generating money machine.

To thank Lu Jing, Qin Ziyi even mailed many Dan Medicines and valuable specialties.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Brother! Wake up quickly!"

From outside the bedroom comes the voice of younger sister Lu Leyi.

Sitting cross‑legged on a yoga mat, Lu Jing slowly opens his eyes and exhales a puff of murky breath.

A visible white column of gas shoots like an arrow toward the opposite wall, rattling the anime poster stuck there.

"Here it comes."

Lu Jing stands up and opens the door.

Outside, Lu Leyi stands cheerfully, still biting into a large bun.

"Bro, why do I feel like you've grown taller?"

Lu Leyi says puzzled, stretching her hand to gesture the gap between her own crown and Lu Jing's height.

Lu Jing laughs, "Could it be that you shrank?"

After speaking, he walks toward the living room, casually grabs a bun and stuffs it into his mouth.

"Bro, can you brush your teeth before you eat next time!"

Lu Leyi follows, saying with a disdainful face.

Lu Jing, biting a bun after another, shrugs and says, "Since I'm eating, what's the point of brushing teeth? Isn't it better to brush after the meal? Moreover, at my Realm, even without brushing, my mouth stays fragrant; don't believe it, just smell..."

He finishes and leans his head toward Lu Leyi, letting out a breath.

"Shameless, I think you're just lazy!"

Lu Leyi quickly steps away, with a disdainful look, "Fine, keep bragging; what does the Martial Way realm have to do with whether you brush your teeth?"

But as soon as she finishes speaking, Lu Leyi freezes for a moment.

I feel like I've never known Lu Jing's true Realm.

She had already heard from senior sister Leng Yueyue that Lu Jing defeated Ye Shaohua; as someone close to Lu Jing, Lu Leyi can only feel Lu Jing growing stronger constantly.

It's as if after a nap, his breath grew a touch more profound.

Now Lu Jing's presence feels far more terrifying than the three‑realm and four‑realm Martial Way teachers she had in middle school.

Just as Lu Leyi was about to ask Lu Jing about his Realm, the main door opened.

Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru walked in, each carrying a sack full of ingredients.

Don't be fooled by the amount; it's only Lu Jing's daily food intake.

"Xiao Jing, tomorrow you'll go to the training camp. Mom and I specially bought you some Demon Beast meat; I heard it can boost Blood Qi…"

Lu Haitao cheerfully carried the sack into the kitchen, ready to wash vegetables and cook.

Since Lu Jing returned, Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru have taken leave and stayed home to focus on caring for their children.

"Dad and Mom, if you're free, take a few of the Dan Medicine from the box; it strengthens the body and has no side effects."

Lu Jing said.

"Got it. Mom and I have both taken it," Lu Haitao said, washing his hands and pouring himself a glass of water. "That Dan Medicine is indeed good; after taking it I don't get out of breath much when climbing stairs, and Mom's gray hair has reduced a lot!"

"But…"

Lu Haitao frowned and asked, "If the Dan Medicine works this well, it must be expensive, right?"
