Xu Yi's eyes lit up slightly and said, "Teacher Li, you really can't see through me?"
"Hmph, so what if I can't?" Li Yi replied coldly.
Xu Yi quickly said, "Teacher Li, the technique I'm cultivating was obtained in a Minor World. It's called Advanced Invisibility Technique."
"Advanced Invisibility Technique?" Li Yi frowned slightly. "That shouldn't be possible. Even if it's Advanced Invisibility Technique, it shouldn't be enough to fool me. After all, I'm two major realms above you."
Xu Yi gave a bitter smile, as if to say, "You're asking me, but I don't know either."
Li Yi's frown deepened. "Xu Yi, to what level have you cultivated this technique?"
"Probably… Perfect Mastery."
"Perfect Mastery?" Li Yi's voice even sharpened slightly.
Cultivation techniques—whether for martial artists, Monks' Spiritual Power arts, or auxiliary paths like artifact refinement or alchemy—
typically had five major stages:
Entry-Level, Level-up Stage, Perfect Mastery, Peak Mastery, and Unparalleled Mastery.
Reaching Entry-Level already meant minor success.
Advancing through Level-up Stage to Perfect Mastery marked full mastery of a technique.
As for Peak Mastery and Unparalleled Mastery, those levels were no longer attainable by sheer hard work.
Without fate and enlightenment, one could forget about reaching those heights.
That Xu Yi had obtained a high-grade technique in a Minor World was not uncommon. It just meant he was lucky.
But to cultivate it to the level of Perfect Mastery—that was no simple matter.
After a moment of thought, Li Yi said, "Xu Yi, I recall that it hasn't even been half a month since you started entering the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly. "Yes, it's been twelve days."
"Twelve days, and you've already cultivated a high-grade technique to Perfect Mastery." Li Yi looked at him meaningfully. "Your talent is… frankly outrageous."
Xu Yi chuckled awkwardly. "Maybe this technique just really suits me, Teacher."
"Hmph, Advanced Invisibility Technique? I think it just means you're particularly afraid of dying." Li Yi scoffed.
But then she came to her senses. As Xu Yi's teacher, she shouldn't speak that way.
Sigh, it was just that she had been so shaken upon realizing she couldn't see through her own student's Cultivation Level.
Xu Yi smiled and didn't explain.
But reaching the pinnacle in a technique like Advanced Invisibility Technique wasn't Xu Yi's unique choice.
In the other world, while opportunities were countless, they weren't easy to find.
However, with a technique like Advanced Invisibility Technique, there were many scenarios in which it could be useful.
Li Yi paused for a moment and said, "Xu Yi, I called you here because six companies have already reviewed your records and expressed interest in signing a long-term contract with you. What do you think?"
Xu Yi wasn't particularly interested in such sponsorships anymore.
But having such a contract would indeed make things easier for him.
"Teacher Li, which companies are they? What are their terms?"
"All the details are here." Li Yi projected a visual array. "Take your time looking through them. But I suggest you hold off on signing anything for now."
As Xu Yi browsed, he asked, "Why?"
"The information they received was incomplete, and their evaluation of your strength and potential is lacking," Li Yi said seriously. "I'll add a note to your file stating that you've cultivated a high-grade Breath Suppression Technique to Perfect Mastery. I believe more prominent companies will become interested."
By now, Xu Yi had read through all the contract offers. He curled his lips slightly.
Just as Li Yi said, these companies lacked sincerity. They were treating him like a missed fish in the net.
The cultivation resources they offered weren't substantial—at least not to him. For an average student, they'd be overjoyed.
If it were just about resources, Xu Yi might have accepted, since he wasn't lacking in that area.
But the length of service required after university graduation was excessive.
Even the shortest contract demanded a fifty-year commitment.
Xu Yi was currently in Qi Refining Stage. If nothing major happened, getting into university was guaranteed.
If he made further breakthroughs during high school, he might even have a shot at one of the top hundred universities.
By the time he graduated, he'd likely reach Foundation Establishment, or perhaps even Golden Core.
A Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator had a lifespan of 200 years; Golden Core Stage, 500 years.
No matter which stage, being bound to a company for 50 years right off the bat-
Even the best contract felt overly harsh.
"Thank you, Teacher Li," Xu Yi said after some thought. "I'm not in a rush. I'll wait for a better opportunity."
He did need a contract like this to cover his tracks,
but that didn't mean he was going to sell himself short so cheaply.
Since the current offers lacked sincerity, he would just put the matter on hold for now.
