When Wang Zheng had finished his madness and returned, Chu Tianxing stood in mid-air, hovering above the clouds, patiently waiting for him.

Wang Zheng wasn't embarrassed; he was just afraid of getting beaten up, so he apologized in advance.

"Principal, as you know, this is my first time riding a cloud, and I'm not used to it yet. It wasn't intentional."

Chu Tianxing didn't blame him too much. He landed lightly behind Wang Zheng and simply said, "Let's go back."

Hearing that Old Man Chu wasn't angry, Wang Zheng secretly glanced at him. Seeing Chu Tianxing standing with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a grandmaster, Wang Zheng also behaved himself and rode the cloud directly downwards.

However, as soon as he landed in the courtyard of the reception area, he saw that someone was already waiting at the door, so he didn't go back through the window and landed directly down.

Once they descended to a certain height, before Chu Tianxing could even take a step down, he saw the soft, crimson clouds begin to melt away, thinning directly beneath their feet.

Once the two landed steadily, there was a "whoosh" sound as the clouds dispersed and gradually dissipated into the air.

Wang Zheng didn't think there was anything remarkable about this move, but Chu Tianxing gave him a strange look and thought to himself that this kid was really a prodigy, being able to use his newly acquired ability so skillfully on his first try.

Upon seeing the two land, the person at the door immediately came to greet them.

"Haha, Principal Chu, your charm remains undiminished! Is this cloud-riding technique a new skill that your precious student has just mastered?"

Wang Zheng couldn't help but admire this person's sharp eyes; the moment he landed, the other party had already seen through his scheme.

"Not bad, but calling him a precious student is too much of an exaggeration. He's just a good-for-nothing."

Although Chu Tianxing said he was useless, his face was full of smugness, which he made no attempt to hide.

The old man opposite him didn't say much after hearing this, and he didn't try to poach Wang Zheng to stay in Yunnan.

He knew Wang Zheng's identity and naturally knew that this kid had already been registered with the Jingnan Military Region.

Then Chu Tianxing called Wang Zheng over to say hello.

"This is Colonel Fu Wenhui, who fought two demon kings without backing down an inch, and finally, with the help of other warriors, defeated the enemy, leaving one dead and two fleeing."

Wang Zheng quickly and obediently stepped forward and saluted.

"Greetings, Commander!"

A division commander, when facing Wang Zheng, a mere lieutenant, could certainly be addressed as "commander."

Fu Wenhui was also greatly pleased.

"Great! Great! Every time I see you energetic young people, I can't help but feel that I'm getting old. Lieutenant Wang Zheng, no need for formalities. Get some rest. Your principal and I have something to discuss."

Wang Zheng knew this was just the other party being polite, so he immediately said to Chu Tianxing:

"Principal, please go ahead with your work. I'll go back and continue to consolidate my knowledge."

Chu Tianxing nodded with a smile, and Fu Wenhui also smiled but remained silent, seemingly satisfied with Wang Zheng's tact.

Wang Zheng then went straight back to his dormitory and did not linger any longer.

Once the initial excitement of learning to fly wore off, Wang Zheng started thinking about farming spiritual energy again.

The thought of a demon king escaping within Yunnan Province filled him with indescribable unease.

Now that the three provinces are joining forces to hunt down the demon king in Yunnan, I am unable to leave the city for the time being.

He didn't even need to think to know that Colonel Fu had come under the pretext of checking out the spiritual energy fluctuations here, and most likely he was actually looking for Chu Tianxing to come and help him.

Moreover, given Old Man Chu's fondness for fighting, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

So, Wang Zheng had no choice but to spend another 240 points of spiritual energy to increase his other attributes by one point.

He originally had 5 low-level spirit crystals left, plus 4 he got from killing the alien beast, and 30 crystals he got from Li Hao.

Not counting the two high-level crystals of the Vajra Giant Ape, there are already 39 low-level crystals.

If we calculate based on an average of 150 points per crystal, then these 39 crystals alone would represent a maximum of 5850 points of spiritual energy.

The thought of this made Wang Zheng's heart flutter with excitement.

Although he didn't know how high his potential would need to be before the words "next talent" would appear.

However, he still wanted to try and see if absorbing all the spiritual energy crystals would reveal new abilities, even though it was probably impossible to unlock them at the moment.

And if that doesn't work, you can take the opportunity to upgrade your skill level.

Anyway, he recovers his spiritual energy quickly, and he also has a lot of recovery potions to use.

He never used spiritual energy crystals to replenish his spiritual energy, so there was no need to keep these crystals.

Let's get right to it.

Wang Zheng immediately sat cross-legged and took out all the spiritual energy crystals from his storage space.

In an instant, the colorful crystals illuminated the entire room, making the concentration of spiritual energy much higher.

Without much thought, Wang Zheng immediately took one in each hand and began to absorb them rapidly.

Unlike when I awakened and soared through the clouds before, absorbing energy now is indeed effortless.

Wang Zheng cursed under his breath, then looked at his rapidly increasing spiritual energy value.

4000, 5000, 6000...

It continued to rise until it reached 9120 points before stopping.

Wang Zheng pursed his lips helplessly. After all, they were low-grade spiritual crystals, averaging less than 150 each.

Wang Zheng then picked up two more crystals of the Giant Ape King Kong to see if they would get stuck at 9999 and whether the next upgrade node would be the right one.
