Chapter 117

Su Jin heard this and felt even more speechless. She realized she had never taken Silver Marrow Spirit Milk, so she decided it was best not to mention it for now.

Letting everyone believe she passed solely because of the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk wasn’t a problem.

After all, the effects of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk were well known to all.

“Su Jin, you already got the Silver Marrow Spirit Milk before?” Su Wuji asked in surprise.

“Mm-hmm. I heard I was the first in the entire first year to break through to Qi Refining Level One, so the clan school rewarded me with twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk,” Su Jin said.

“Why do you get twenty drops and I only get ten?” Su Wuji grumbled.

“Because you were the tenth in the entire first year to break through to Qi Refining Level One. After you, even if you broke through to Qi Refining Level One, there was no reward,” Liu Shi replied.

Su Wuji: “...” Well, at least he’d barely scraped in at tenth.

“Alright, take your Silver Marrow Spirit Milk and go home,” Liu Shi said after handing out the elixirs, dismissing them.

The three of them waved goodbye to Liu Shi with cheerful smiles.

When Su Jin returned home, only her sister-in-law and Su Xiaohe were there.

Su Xiaohe was a greedy little thing who wanted to taste everything she saw.

When Su Jin arrived, Su Xiaohe had just tasted a pinch of chili powder and was wailing loudly. Her sister-in-law had just calmed her down after a long while, but the moment she saw Su Jin come back, she burst into tears again, looking utterly pitiful.

Su Jin hurried over to help her sister-in-law soothe the child.

Finally, Su Xiaohe stopped crying—until Su Hua and Su Jian returned home, and then she started wailing again.

She had cried from the spice, so she insisted every family member know just how wronged she was.

Her sister-in-law was practically laughing in exasperation.

Back when she raised Su Hua, he had been so well-behaved—never caused a single fuss like this little girl.

If she’d known the second child would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have had him at all.

Su Jian and Su Hua were both utterly speechless from her crying.

After dinner, Yun’s sister-in-law said nothing—she just dumped Su Xiaohe into her husband’s arms.

She needed to go out for a walk, clear her head. If she kept babysitting Su Xiaohe, she’d lose control and unleash her maternal primal force and beat that little butt into oblivion.

She didn’t want to deal with this brat anymore.

Su Jian: “Do you think I want to deal with her?”

But his wife had handed her to him—what could he do?

Luckily, Su Hanlin came home, so he simply picked up the child and went to chat with him, bringing along dinner for him too.

Su Hua, however, followed Su Jin to her room.

“Auntie, I heard your first-year class had a small test today—how did you do?”

“Here, take a look,” Su Jin said, pulling her score sheet from her satchel and handing it to Su Hua.

Su Hua glanced at it and immediately shrieked. “Auntie, you’re number one in the year! You’re number one in the year!”

“It’s nothing—just a small test,” Su Jin said, slightly proud but not overly pleased. After all, it was only a small test!

“Auntie, I did pretty well too on this test. With my Foundation Establishment Level Two, I’ve made it into the top ten of my class,” Su Hua said.

All thanks to the Earth-Metal Blueberry Elixir Auntie gave her.

It allowed her to break through consecutively, earning her an extra hundred points.

“Once you break through to Qi Refining Level Four, start cultivating the Spiritual Sense technique too. Cultivating all three methods together will speed up your progress,” Su Jin said.

“Alright, I’ll wait until I break through to Qi Refining Level Four first. I’m almost there—three or two more months should be enough,” Su Hua said confidently.

“Good. By the way, what level are the top three in your class at?” Su Jin asked.

“What level?” Su Hua frowned.

“I mean, what level have they reached in their cultivation techniques?”

“Oh, that. Our class’s top student is at Qi Refining Level Five, Foundation Establishment Level Four, and Spiritual Sense Level Two,” Su Hua said. “He’s ranked fifth overall in the year.”

“Spiritual Sense Level Two can get you into the top five of the year?” Su Jin was startled.

“Of course. The Spiritual Sense technique is so hard to cultivate. In the entire third year, only one person has broken through to Spiritual Sense Level Three—and that’s our third-year top student. The headmaster even rewarded her with a bottle of twenty drops of Silver Marrow Spirit Milk for her rapid breakthrough.”

Su Jin: “...”

“Auntie, what level has your Spiritual Sense technique reached? Have you broken through to Spiritual Sense Level One? Even if you haven’t, aim for Level One this year, Level Two next year. You still have three years—if you break through to Spiritual Sense Level Three before third year, I bet you’ll still hold onto the top rank.”

“Little Hua, I’ve already reached Spiritual Sense Level Three,” Su Jin thought her cultivation level couldn’t be hidden much longer—better to tell Su Hua now than let her hear it from someone else and throw a tantrum.

Su Hua was utterly stunned!

“Auntie, say that again—how many levels have you broken through in your Spiritual Sense technique?”

“Three.”

“Auntie, you’ve only been cultivating for three months—and you’ve already reached Spiritual Sense Level Three?” Su Hua thought this was unbelievable. “Your cultivation speed is inhuman, Auntie.”

She was shattered. She was truly shattered.

“Auntie, did you know that in our clan school, the top student in sixth year has only reached Spiritual Sense Level Five.”

That student is praised daily by the instructors as a once-in-a-century genius! They say he’s destined to secure a place in the sect, that he’ll become a future power-holding peak master or hall lord!

All kinds of praise are thrown at him.

He’s not even good-looking—small nose, narrow slit eyes, single eyelids, thin lips—and yet he’s so self-obsessed he thinks he’s a handsome man.

He believes every girl in the clan, regardless of age, should adore him.

He deliberately flirts with the pretty senior female students, driving them all to distraction.

Recently, he’s even set his sights on our third-year’s most beautiful girl.

The third-year boys are all sick of him.”

Su Hua spoke with clear disgust.

“But Auntie, you reached Spiritual Sense Level Three in three months—won’t you hit Level Five in a year? Just wait till he can’t strut around anymore!” Su Hua added gleefully, almost enjoying his downfall.

With Auntie’s cultivation speed, she’d crush him underfoot.

“Auntie, how did you manage to reach Spiritual Sense Level Three so fast?” Su Hua asked curiously.

“I don’t know—I just kept cultivating, and suddenly I broke through, then after a while I broke through again,” Su Jin herself wondered if her Spiritual Sense talent was just too good.

Su Hua was stunned again.

“Auntie, are you a once-in-a-thousand-years Spiritual Sense genius?” Su Hua asked in awe.

Su Jin sighed helplessly and retorted, “Why don’t you just say your auntie is a once-in-ten-thousand-years super genius?”
