Success!
A faint smile appeared on Xu Yi's lips, as he felt genuinely happy for his good friend.
Zhang Liang was the third student in the class to successfully break through to the Qi Refining Stage, and more importantly, he had done so within the one-month deadline set by Li Yi.
This meant that he would now qualify for daily access to the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower.
Xu Yi quietly sensed for a moment, and then suddenly furrowed his brows.
Although Zhang Liang had succeeded, the Spiritual Power within his body was somewhat violent and unstable.
Granted, even if left unchecked, Zhang Liang would eventually manage to calm and regulate it on his own.
However, Xu Yi had cultivated the Five Elements Technique and knew that upon first entering the Qi Refining Stage, the meridians in a human body were still very delicate.
Such wild and chaotic Spiritual Power could cause some damage to the meridians.
Even if the effects weren't immediately visible, there would definitely be hidden dangers in the future. If left untreated, Zhang Liang might regret it immensely when trying to advance to a higher realm.
Xu Yi extended a hand and gently placed it on Zhang Liang's back.
He didn't attempt to guide Zhang Liang in handling his Spiritual Power—figuring it out on his own would be far more beneficial than being taught step-by-step.
He merely released a strand of Spiritual Power to protect Zhang Liang's internal meridians.
While shielding him from the turbulent Spiritual Power, he also nurtured and nourished the meridians.
An hour passed this way before Zhang Liang finally let out a long breath and stood up.
He turned around and grasped Xu Yi's hand tightly, saying, "Xu Yi, thank you." As he spoke, his eyes were visibly reddening.
Xu Yi quickly pulled his hand away and said, "Hey, a real man should stay strong. I haven't even congratulated you yet. Why are you crying?"
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, then angrily retorted, "Nonsense, I'm not crying!"
"Look, your eyes are red."
"No, that's just dark circles. I got too excited last night and stayed up late."
"Oh, so skipping one night of sleep gives a peak-level martial artist dark circles, huh?"
"…Xu Yi!"
Zhang Liang gritted his teeth, but after Xu Yi's deliberate teasing, the overwhelming emotion he had just felt had already faded.
The two returned to the classroom, where they were naturally met with envy and jealousy from their classmates. Then, Li Yi happily took Zhang Liang to the school to register his certification.
The more students in her class who reached the Qi Refining Stage, the better it reflected on her as a Golden Core teacher.
In less than a month, three students had reached the Qi Refining Stage, which put her at the top among the more than ten regular classes.
After school, Li Yi called Xu Yi, Zhang Liang, and Chen Bo to her office.
Ever since the last sparring session, Chen Bo had been filled with fear toward Xu Yi. Even now, standing in the same office, he instinctively took a step back.
Li Yi shook her head slightly in disappointment—this kind of mentality would surely limit his future achievements.
"Do you know why I've called you here?" Li Yi asked.
Zhang Liang immediately responded, "Teacher, is it about having us participate in the Battle Power Rankings competition?"
Li Yi nodded slightly and said, "Correct. Now that you've obtained daily access to the Transcosmic Reincarnation Tower in your senior year, you are all required to participate in the Battle Power Rankings assessment at the end of each month."
"There are two ways to be assessed: one is to challenge students from the rocket class. However, I don't recommend this for Chen Bo and Zhang Liang."
Zhang Liang grinned and said, "Don't worry, Teacher. I won't do anything so unrealistic."
Chen Bo shot a glare at Zhang Liang, but quickly lowered his head. At this point, he wouldn't dare provoke Xu Yi again.
"Alright. Today is the 19th. Before the end of the month, go challenge the Battle Power Tower. Since you're at the Qi Refining Stage, you should at least clear the first level."
"Yes, Teacher Li, we'll do our best," Zhang Liang said enthusiastically.
Chen Bo, on the other hand, cursed inwardly—why did he have to be dragged into this too?
Li Yi's gaze then fell on Xu Yi. She couldn't quite see through this student.
To be able to cultivate a Breath Suppression Technique to Perfect Mastery while still in the Qi Refining Stage…
This guy—his talent, mentality, and personal habits were clearly a perfect match for this kind of technique.
Otherwise, it would be impossible.
To have cultivated the Breath Suppression Technique to full mastery… just how afraid of death was this guy?
Still, it was a good thing, wasn't it?
Mastering any technique was an achievement. Even if the technique wasn't exactly prestigious, results were results. If she could exchange it for Spirit Stones, wouldn't that be nice?
"Xu Yi, what about you? Will you challenge the Battle Power Tower or face off against a rocket class student?"
Xu Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go for the Battle Power Tower."
Li Yi nodded slowly. Though she knew this was a very wise decision, she couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
Maybe she just had too high expectations of him.
