Entering the classroom, Xu Yi walked over to his seat.
His gaze swept around. Some classmates nodded and smiled, others looked away—especially Chen Bo and his lackey, who didn't even dare lift their heads.
As usual, Zhang Liang came over and said, "Xu Yi, what did the homeroom teacher want just now?"
"Nothing much. Just talked about Cultivation Level," Xu Yi replied casually.
Zhang Liang suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Xu Yi, have any companies approached you with sponsorship agreements?"
Xu Yi was surprised. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, a company just reached out to Chen Bo. I heard he got a big sum of money and can now buy tons of Pills and Elixirs and gear," Zhang Liang said with a hint of envy.
Xu Yi smiled indifferently. He had already looked through those contracts. If they were that harsh toward him, how generous could they be to someone who lost to him?
However, if Xu Yi hadn't had the system, he probably would have accepted one after careful consideration.
"What about you? How's your training going?"
Zhang Liang beamed and said, "I've been a few times and already reached the point where Qi surges through my meridians. One more round of consolidation and I'll be ready to break through to Qi Refining Stage."
"Not bad. Keep it up. Try to advance to Qi Refining Stage within a month. Then you'll qualify to enter the Reincarnation Tower daily."
Zhang Liang nodded earnestly, then asked, "Xu Yi, are you planning to join the combat challenge at the end of the month?"
The challenge was the school's main basis for combat power rankings.
Previously, there were separate rankings for the Rocket Class and the regular class. Anyone who ranked high on either the Cultivation Level or combat power list—even from the regular class—had a chance at getting a sponsorship deal.
As for the Rocket Class, most were second-generation cultivators. The few gifted ones from ordinary families usually had sponsors before their third year. Regular companies didn't even catch their eye.
Xu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, " and I'm not joining."
"What? Why not?" Zhang Liang was shocked. "Come on, bro, you were the first in our class to reach Qi Refining Stage. You've got serious combat power—we're all counting on you to challenge the Rocket Class."
"Challenge the Rocket Class?" Xu Yi chuckled. "You sure it's a challenge, not just me getting pummeled?"
If he hadn't already encountered Weng Xiping and Fang Minghui, he might not have understood the Rocket Class's true strength. But after that meeting, he knew.
Those two were already preparing for Foundation Establishment. With his current strength, facing the Rocket Class would just end in humiliation.
But give him one more month, and anything might be possible.
So, Xu Yi was in no hurry.
He calmly finished his day of classes, patted the dust off, and once again headed toward the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower.
……
……
In the Weng Group headquarters—a skyscraper over a hundred stories tall in the city-
Weng Yaoshui was reviewing a document. As a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he was a well-known figure in Yong City.
Although he could scan all the documents instantly with Divine Sense, he preferred holding them and reading carefully.
A knock came at the door. Weng Yaoshui said indifferently, "Old Chen, come in."
HR Director Chen Feitong pushed the door open. "Boss."
"What is it?"
"Boss, a message just came in. Please take a look."
Weng Yaoshui glanced at it. "Xu Yi declined our group's sponsorship invitation?"
He paused slightly. "So he declined. What's the big deal?"
Chen Feitong's lips twitched. Xu Yi was someone the boss had personally instructed them to watch.
Though it was a casual remark at the time, none of the staff dared treat it lightly.
Normally, a minor figure declining a sponsorship would never even cross the boss's desk.
But while the boss could forget, he couldn't afford not to explain.
"Boss, Xu Yi was someone you specifically told us to monitor."
"Oh, that's right. He just started entering the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower this year. Advanced to Qi Refining Level Two after only two visits. Seems to be a lucky one," Weng Yaoshui explained casually. "But if he declined, then let it be."
Chen Feitong nodded, but after thinking a bit, he added, "Boss, I still think this guy has potential. Maybe we should try again?"
"Heh, there are plenty of people in this world with potential. Who actually develops it—that's another story." Weng Yaoshui smiled. "What about him caught your eye?"
"The latest report says Xu Yi obtained an Advanced Invisibility Technique in the Minor Worlds and has already cultivated it to the level of Perfect Mastery."
"Oh? Advanced Invisibility Technique, and he mastered it?" Weng Yaoshui finally looked up and smiled. "Now that's interesting…"
