Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year in China's economic, political, and cultural center has almost dissipated.

After the tenth day of the lunar month, in this season of renewal, not only have universities in the capital city started their new semester, but students in southern Beijing had already finished registering two days ago.

However, due to his special status and the fact that he had to go on a mission, Wang Dashao was naturally delayed.

To be fair, Wang Zheng can't be entirely blamed for this. After all, it was he who started this competitive atmosphere within the Awakening Academy, causing all the academies to shorten their winter break.

But even Wang Shao himself didn't expect that the so-called cave cultivators, the vanguard against the Heavenly Demon, would drag things out for so long after the decision was made.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed to come so early.

Moreover, he didn't have many friends in the capital, so he had no choice but to lock himself away and work hard to improve his strength, hoping to welcome his new friends in the best way possible.

Even if it's last-minute cramming, you can't deny that they've definitely improved...

Looking at his data panel, Wang Dashao, who had worked hard for a long time, was quite satisfied.

Aside from the fact that the spiritual energy value is still a bit low and the various cultivation techniques are not yet maxed out, it is practically perfect.

Ever since his battle with that Demon Lord of Desire, Wang Zheng has become much more timid... well, more cautious. He doesn't feel at ease unless he has more than two million units of spiritual energy.

As for the extra 1 million, that's because he revealed to Lao Li that Nanjing University had successfully cultivated the spiritual plants in the ruins.

They even dropped the bombshell that a spiritual plant had produced fruit that was already ripe.

Then they took advantage of the situation once again.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to say that the spiritual plant already had fruit on it when he brought it out, but it just wasn't ripe yet—that kind of useless nonsense.

Anyway, he hadn't lied; he had just omitted some information, which wasn't important to Young Master Wang.

As for how things will develop in the future, and whether Lao Li will increase investment, all of this will have to wait until he arranges for someone to conduct an on-site inspection at Nanjing University before a decision can be made.

As for the other five attributes... the improvement compared to before isn't significant.

It's just a mere 3 points of Constitution, 3 points of Strength, 1 point of Intelligence, and finally two points each of Spirit and Agility.

The upper limit of spiritual energy loss is naturally insignificant compared to the massive amount of spiritual energy that Young Master Wang currently possesses. However, considering that he was able to achieve such an absurd improvement in just two months, in addition to his own crazy cultivation efforts, Young Master Wang also sensed an invisible force providing feedback from the depths of his being.

Judging from that violent and fierce fluctuation, it is very likely that his "summoned beast clone" gained some benefits while wandering around outside, which led to a surge in strength and then fed back to him.

Although he didn't quite believe it at first, it was the truth, and there was no other explanation.

After all, he had suddenly lost contact with the ferocious beast for a period of time, and then within just two days, he experienced a surge in strength, with no side effects after directly adding points.

Aside from still needing to spend a tiny fraction of the maximum points to actively add them, it's practically free.

Ever since Young Master Wang, like that ferocious beast, experienced the exhilarating feeling of automatically increasing his own strength as others improved, he never again considered actively summoning the other party back.

After all, who wouldn't want such a reliable clone that helps improve their strength for free?

However, on the other hand, after such a long period of no contact, Wang Zheng was also quite curious about whether there had been any progress on the plan of the Zheng Beast, since he still had the golden finger of the Zheng Beast's original body attached to him.

It's only right to take the initiative to show concern.

It wasn't that Young Master Wang was particularly kind-hearted, but rather he worried that if the powerful figure really did escape and plunged into the River of Time, losing this panel would make it much harder for him to improve his strength...

As for the others, the two main cultivation techniques that consume the maximum amount of spiritual energy have not been improved, so there is no change.

The increased mental strength resulted in the addition of basic skill points to scanning.

However, Wang Zheng had already secretly tested it with a special new friend, and there didn't seem to be any new changes. Young Master Wang just guessed that it might be the same as the young blue phoenix, but he just hadn't met a suitable target yet.

Just as Young Master Wang was still locked in his room, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a rhythmic knocking.

When Wang Zheng opened the door, there stood Fang Bi, the reincarnation of Bi Fang, whom he had recently become acquainted with—a case of "becoming friends after a fight."

Oh no, he has already officially graduated from the Imperial Military Academy in Beijing. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him Major Fang.

The experimental subject that Wang Zheng had previously scanned was precisely this once-famous mythical bird of Zhang'e Mountain.

It's unclear whether there's some inexplicable attraction between these old neighbors, or if Wang Dashao's personal charm is truly that great, or if the other person is simply an honest person.

This genius who had once been defeated by him not only held no grudge against Young Master Wang, but also became close friends with him thanks to Wang Zheng's deliberate efforts to befriend him.

To be honest, this reincarnation of a divine beast is truly amazing. Unlike Wang Zheng, who was a half-baked good-for-nothing in his previous life and never even awakened his powers, he has a genuine 99 points in all four attributes, only lacking the final push of 98 points in intelligence.

Once he succeeds in breaking through, the second all-attribute superhuman in the country will emerge.

Li Guofeng's intention in arranging him here was quite clear: on the one hand, to exchange experiences with Wang Zheng, a genius who claimed to be a "reincarnation of a divine beast," and on the other hand, to deal with the young genius in that cave.

Although he has not yet achieved extraordinary success, if we include Wang Zheng, these two are already the most outstanding geniuses in all of China.

Of course, Old Li, that cunning fellow with thick eyebrows and big eyes, might also be thinking of using the geniuses in the cave and Wang Zheng's help to put pressure on Fang Bi and make him grow up as quickly as possible.

However, Young Master Wang felt that this was not a very reliable plan.

Putting aside the other side of the cave, how does it compare to ourselves?

He wasn't afraid that this guy would be so discouraged that he would become withdrawn!
