Zhao Chen entered right after Shen Zhe opened the door.

Thanks to the Zhao family’s resources, Zhao Chen was almost fully recovered after a day and a night. He was currently able to walk normally.

He looked completely miserable the day before, yet one day later he was virtually as healthy as one could be. The recovery abilities of stage-six Body Practitioners were truly extraordinary.

“Last night, the eighth stage of body polishing was created…” Zhao Chen was excited as he looked at him.

“Who told you that?” Shen Zhe was greatly shocked.

He didn’t tell a soul, and neither did he leave his dormitory the previous day. How did his friend find out?

Not noticing Shen Zhe’s unnatural reaction, Zhao Chen explained, “Perceiving a new tier and creating a new path will be approved by nature and enter the Hall of Laws. The whole Green Abyss is now in turmoil…”

“Hall of Laws?” asked Shen Zhe.

Zhao Chen waved his hand and quickly explained everything.

Shen Zhe smiled bitterly afterwards.

He intended to keep a low profile, but he had turned into a “Saint Master” without even trying.

“I won’t be able to admit that I created the eighth stage, nor I can let anyone find out about my strength…” Shen Zhe secretly made the decision, “I must keep a low profile!”

A notorious student reaching stage eight of body polishing from nothing would result in major trouble for him.

Revealing his capabilities would have been disastrous for him if Zhao Chen hadn’t gone there to inform him.

“Although we can illuminate a couple of stars, you know that it’s barely possible for us to become Mages or Martial Artists. However, we can still be better people if we can become Connate Body Practitioners!”

Zhao Chen was excited.

Connate Body Practitioners were on par with level-one Mages and Martial Artists, had longer longevity and were revered by many.

With the eighth level of body polishing, the odds of success were much higher than before.

Spring had arrived for Body Practitioners.

Shen Zhe was stunned.

He didn’t know the actions driven by his obsessive-compulsive disorder would cause such a fuss.

Luckily for him, nobody found out that he was the one behind this, otherwise he would never sleep well again.

“Right, a competition will be held in two days. Both Body Practitioners and Seven Star Stage cultivators can participate. Should we set up a team and try our luck?”

Zhao Chen said passionately, “We were always beaten up in such contests. It’s time for revenge now that we are stronger!”

“I would rather keep a low profile!” Shen Zhe shook his head in disapproval.

His strength was exclusively raised up by the notebook. There might be trouble if he revealed it.

The best solution was to keep a low profile and avoid showing off.

Not expecting Shen Zhe to refuse, Zhao Chen said after a brief hesitation, “It’s said that the top three will have a chance to directly become Mages or Martial Artists without the finals!”

Shen Zhe asked, “Have you illuminated the Seven Stars?”

“I…” Zhao Chen was immediately frustrated.

That’s right. If the stars weren’t illuminated, such a chance would mean nothing!

“Not just that, it’s said that they will also be awarded with the herb liquid made by Mr. Xin Qi himself. If you don’t want that, you can ask for training resources. Then, if you reach stage eight with those resources or even become a Connate, it won’t matter whether or not you’re a Mage…”

Zhao Chen was anxious.

Connate Body Practitioners weren’t as good as level-one Mages and Martial Artists, but they were strong in melee fights and had infinite stamina. Zhao Chen had no hope of becoming a Mage or a Martial Artist, but he could still be respected if he became a Connate Body Practitioner.

“Well… you guys can team up if you’re interested, but don’t count me in…” Shen Zhe shook his head.

Seeing that he was determined, Zhao Chen said, “How about this? Let’s buy armor together. You can protect yourself with it when you’re in danger!”

“Shopping? There are no classes today?” Shen Zhe was stunned.

“Bro… What’s wrong with you? It’s the weekend!”
