The hot summer sun blazes on, the mountain winds blowing the warm winds around, Qing Mao Mountain steaming under the hot air.
In the blink of an eye, it was already near the end of June.
”Gu Yue Fang Zheng!” In the academy, the family elder called out.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng got up from his seat and came before the Academy Elder.
Under the admiring gaze of his classmates, Fang Zheng received a heavy bag of primeval stones.
”Fang Zheng, you are the first to advance to upper stage, this is your reward. Good job, continue working hard.” Academy elder smiled pleasantly, patting Fang Zheng’s shoulders.
Fang Zheng acknowledged with a grunt, his face full of excitement.
He took the money bag over with emotion and returned to his seat.
”I finally did it. The first to advance to upper stage, do you see that big brother, I finally beat you for once!”
His eyes shone with bright light as he swept his gaze over at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was sprawled on the table, sound asleep. Last night he had killed another wild boar, and after returning to the hostel, he used the White Boar Gu to improve his body and also used the natural essence within the primeval stones to refine his primeval essence using the Liquor worm. Finally, he used his upper stage primeval essence to nurture his aperture, all the way until morning.
He hurriedly ate breakfast before rushing to class, falling asleep as soon as he settled in. He was too exhausted, and Gu Master cultivation could not replace sleep.
”Hmph, even if you don’t admit it, this is the truth. Big brother, I have finally surpassed you! This is the first, and there will be a second time, a third time!”
Fang Zheng clenched his fists. This success was extremely meaningful to him. He had already broken through the dark clouds in his heart, creating and opening to allow light to penetrate in.
Even though this light was thin, it gave Fang Zheng hope and encouragement!
”Hmph, I actually lost to that Fang Zheng.” Gu Yue Mo Bei sat on his seat, arms crossed, feeling indignant.
”This is the advantage of an A grade, damn it...” Gu Yue Chi Cheng said with a dark expression. As he cultivated, he felt strongly the advantages of a good talent. Even with his grandfather Gu Yue Chi Lian’s support, plus his extremely hard work, he was still left behind by Fang Zheng.
”If only I had a Liquor worm, plus grandfather’s help, I might not lose to Fang Zheng! Those accursed Fang family brothers! Little brother is A grade, suppressing us, but the brother being a C grade has a Liquor worm. Why did all the good things in this world go to these brothers?” Gu Yue Chi Cheng felt really indignant.
”This time Fang Zheng broke through to upper stage first.”
”Of course, he is A grade talent”.
”Yeah, even Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and Fang Yuan lost to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng has gained all the attention this time.”
”Fang Yuan having the Liquor worm is not putting in effort. Wasting his time everyday, even sleeping in class, he might as well give his Liquor worm to me.”
The surrounding students discussed, feeling indignant in their hearts, helplessness and envy.
The academy elder called them one by one, and students went up continuously to collect their primeval stones allowance, and returned to their seats.
”Everyone quieten down.” After the allowance was given out, the academy elder used his hand to hit the table. All of a sudden, the academy became silent.
”Now, you’ve all mastered your second Gu worm and even so much as broke through into the upper stage. In the past half a year, you have all worked hard, and now you have some basics, it is time for you to train in the wilds. True battles, are not scarecrows or puppets, wooden puppets that stand there and await your attacks.
”The following mid year examination, will be held three days later, all students have to attend! The examination content is to hunt wild boars. By collecting wild boar teeth as results to record, those who collect the most wild boar teeth will get better scores. At the end of the examination, each wild boar teeth can be exchanged for ten primeval stones. Furthermore, you are allowed to hunt in groups.”
The academy elder’s words caused a commotion among the students.
”The mid-year exam is finally here!”
”Every year’s students study at the academy for a year, and there is always a mid-year exam and an end of year exam. Looking at the time, it really is time for the mid-year exam.”
”Every year’s examination content is different, to think that this year, our examination is to hunt and acquire wild boar teeth.”
