"A reward?" Chen Yi felt much more at ease. "Then I won't be polite!"

He still remembered a few of those passionate, somewhat cheesy lines.

"What is the Way? The path I have walked is the Way!"

"If Heaven had not given birth to Chen Yi, the path of immortality would have remained shrouded in eternal darkness!"

[Your Dao Heart level has increased; Proficiency +20]

"Wait, what's gotten into Chen Yi that's making him so hot-blooded?"

The surrounding students stared wide-eyed.

"Did they give you too many supplements? Is your head pointy now?"

"But you know what, his oath was way more impressive than anything we came up with..."

Chen Yi didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and was completely immersed in his art, or rather, the tempering of his Dao heart!

"At the pinnacle of immortality, I stand proudly above the world; with me, Chen Yi, there is heaven!"

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall suppress all enemies in the world!"

"......"

[Through your efforts, your Dao Heart level has improved, proficiency +20]

【go through......】

As each memorable quote was uttered, the entire playground fell silent, with only Chen Yi's voice echoing.

The surrounding classmates went from watching the show to being serious, and then to being shocked.

Holy crap! That's so exciting! Can cultivation novels be this exciting?

"I feel like I'm back to normal!"

"To be honest, when our class shouted it before, I didn't feel anything, but now when I hear him shout it, I really feel like I want to study hard for three days and three nights."

Class 9's homeroom teacher, Liu Qing, looked at Chen Yi with a blank expression.

He began to doubt himself. Could it be that his scolding had made the other person realize their mistake?

On the stage, the school leaders all showed expressions of admiration.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, the sheer determination of this resolve is commendable!

If a student in the Qi Refining stage doesn't have a firm enough Dao heart, even if he's asked to recite it, the pronunciation won't be right.

Chen Yi's tone revealed no trace of acting; it was solely filled with longing for the end of the path to immortality!

That's perfect! Absolutely perfect!

Even the principal, who held the Soul Respect Banner, showed admiration for such talent...

[Congratulations! Through your efforts, your Dao Heart level has been raised to lv.1.]

Chen Yi touched his nose, "Did you try...?"

Well, I guess you could say I tried my best?

Anyway, he's given away all the food he had in his belly.

[You have obtained the entry "A Mind as Still as Water"!]

[Entry: A Mind as Still as Water]

Effect: Even in the darkest of times, with the rooster crowing incessantly, you can quickly enter a state of flow, greatly increasing your practice efficiency!

"Flow state?" Chen Yi's face lit up with excitement.

He actually knew that; it was a state of complete concentration and self-forgetfulness.

In this state, people don't even feel the passage of time, and after completing a task, they not only don't feel tired, but instead feel a sense of excitement full of energy.

However, this state is not easy to enter. Even top students can't always achieve flow; environment and mindset play a significant role, not to mention lazy, unproductive students...

But with the "Mind Like Still Water" state, he can control himself to enter a state of flow, greatly increasing his cultivation efficiency!

A rising genius in the world of cultivation is on the horizon!

"Hajibiao, you're the guy I'm impressed with!" Chen Yi thought to himself.

Then, he couldn't help but glance at the panel again.

Dao Heart lv.1 - Proficiency 100/200

Yes, his Dao Heart has reached Level 1, a level that many top students have not achieved.

According to the original owner's memories, the top students in the class were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, just entering the late stage.

Those people's Dao Heart should all be around level 0.7.

His current Dao Heart is at level 1, which is equivalent to the Dao Heart realm that only those at the tenth level of Qi Refining can achieve.

Just as he was racking his brains, wanting to shout a few more words to try, Liu Qing ordered the students of Class 9 to hurry back to the classroom.

After all, the oath has already been taken, and staying on the playground would only mean watching the excitement. Now is the time for the 100-day sprint, so naturally not a single second can be wasted.

The students carried their stools past Liu Qing, who kept staring at Chen Yi, seemingly lost in thought.

Thanks to Chen Yi, he was highly praised by the school leaders and should be a shoo-in for the year-end awards.

From this perspective, he was quite grateful to Chen Yi.

But why this guy suddenly changed remains to be seen...

The fear is that he's intermittently ambitious but consistently just coasting along.

"Alright, Chen Yi!"

How did you come up with these sentences?

"Is there anything else? Could you say a few more words?"

Some boys deliberately crowded around.

Chen Yi remained expressionless. The original owner of this body was usually a marginal figure in the class and didn't have any particularly close friends.

These people are just putting on an act, wanting to see themselves make a fool of themselves.

At this moment, a slightly displeased voice came, "Hehe! Chen Yi is really hiding his true colors. He was quiet when collecting oaths before, but it turns out he wanted to steal the limelight."

"Hehe!" Chen Yi shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The speaker was Zhao Manjin, the class monitor of Class 9. The two usually didn't have any animosity towards each other.

He was probably a little annoyed because he had stolen the limelight from the other person earlier.

After all, Zhao Manjin was the first speaker, and he racked his brains to come up with the speech for Class 9, but the response was lukewarm.

On the contrary, Chen Yi's arrogant remarks were praised by the school leaders.

Even the way some of the prettiest girls in the class looked at Chen Yi changed.

Chen Yi didn't care at all.

Although Zhao Manjin achieved good results, he was still only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Given his family background, it was not impossible for him to reach the ninth or even tenth level after a hundred-day sprint.

But I have a schedule.

Even Zhao Manjin might not be able to achieve the goal of building a foundation in 100 days.

Having witnessed the magic of the plan, Chen Yi was full of confidence in his future.

As long as you persist in executing the plan, you will eventually reach heights that no one else can achieve...

Just then, a girl with pigtails, who looked very quiet and cute, walked towards us.

Many boys wisely stepped aside.

Zhao Manjin looked at the girl with a somewhat eager gaze.

This girl is one of the three beauties of Xiande High School. Her name is Yu Wanbai. She comes from a wealthy family and is very beautiful.

"Chen Yi, the Talisman Society has an event tomorrow night... Would you like to come and help?"

The boys around them secretly pricked up their ears.

Chen Yi glanced at the woman, his expression indifferent.

Yu Wanbai was the object of the original owner's secret crush. Even though the original owner's talisman skills were not high, she often asked the original owner to help her because she did odd jobs that no one else wanted to do.

But what does this have to do with me?

Women will only slow me down the speed at which I draw my sword!

Chen Yi shrugged: "Sorry, I've been very busy these past few days."

After all, he still had to cultivate immortality in an orderly manner according to the schedule.

"Well......"

Yu Wanbai's smile suddenly froze.

The boys who were watching were dumbfounded.

That's not right!

Normally, shouldn't they have readily agreed?

After saying that, Chen Yi hurriedly ran to the classroom.

It's just because there's thunder in the sky again...

[The 100-day countdown rally has ended. The current plan is to return to the classroom within 3 minutes. Please don't waste your precious time, start running now!]

[Thunder Tribulation Countdown, three... two...]

The rumbling thunder gradually subsided only after Chen Yi started running wildly.

Liu Qing stared at Chen Yi's retreating figure, stunned for a moment, then yelled at the other slow-moving students, "You all need to learn from Chen Yi! How many times have I told you? Execution!"

Although Xiande Middle School is very large, given the average speed of these senior high school students who are in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, it is normal for them to run several kilometers in three minutes.

The rally was held in the morning, but classes still had to be held afterward.

The next class was on talismans, and the teacher was already waiting in the classroom.

"Paper, brush, ink, and cinnabar are all prepared. Today we will review the tracing of the 'Happy Memory Charm'," said Fu Xin, the talisman teacher.

"In the art of talismans, only diligent practice will yield results. As usual, the school provides a limited number of talisman sheets; each person receives only two. Use them wisely and let's begin!"

After saying that, Fu Xin gave Chen Yi a deep look, clearly having also heard about the events at the mobilization meeting.

However, just talking isn't enough. In the past, when it came to talisman classes, whether it was the "talisman for curing all diseases," the "talisman for calming the mind," or other talismans that were required for the exam, Chen Yi's performance was always a complete mess.

Either he was careless and hastily used up two talisman papers, leaving him staring blankly at each other, or he finally managed to draw one but it was completely nonsensical and just scribbles. Every time he collected and reviewed talismans, Chen Yi was always the negative example.

But just now, Liu Qing, the homeroom teacher of Class 9, had a special chat with Fu Xin, which piqued the latter's interest.

He wanted to see if Chen Yi was just intermittently ambitious, and then consistently just coasting along...
