The arduous training that lasted for half a year was about to come to an end, and the cultivation of refining chaotic energy was also entering a break.
Under such relentless and frantic training, Young Master Wang has not left the basement for more than two months.
Wang, who was planning to take a half-day off, enjoyed a relaxing hot bath, tidied his appearance, and then decided to go out to see what had happened recently.
Pushing open the door of the research institute, which had been transformed from a research base into his private cultivation base, a wave of scorching heat immediately hit him, causing Young Master Wang to squint his eyes.
"It's so hot..."
Wang Zheng raised his right hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sun, rubbing his eyes as he walked forward, muttering to himself.
Watching the giant tree at the entrance of the base, which had been used to conceal its presence, grow taller and taller, eventually becoming a landmark of Nanjing University, Wang Zheng smiled knowingly.
"It's good to be tall, at least it can provide some shade in the sweltering summer, otherwise we'd just have to chop people up for firewood..."
As if it understood the meaning behind Wang Zheng's words, the giant tree's branches trembled rapidly, and then stretched towards the top of his head.
If anyone else had seen this, they would probably have been scared half to death, but Young Master Wang was quite satisfied. He then leaped up and lazily lay down on a thick branch in the dense canopy.
It must be said that this area in front of the research institute in the back mountain not only has the most abundant spiritual energy, but it has also begun to resemble a blessed land.
Although it was already the hottest season in southern Beijing, the gentle breeze through the forest brought a refreshing coolness.
Young Master Wang reached out and plucked an unnamed spiritual fruit from the medicinal herb field. He took a bite, savoring the juice in the flesh and the rich fruity aroma lingering in his mouth, and Wang Zheng immediately felt even more refreshed.
Of course, the reason why these fruits can grow so vigorously and ripen so quickly is partly due to the lifespan of Young Master Wang.
Otherwise, how do you think he knew that combining that method with time-related abilities would accelerate plant growth?
The saying goes, "If you endure for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel cheated." Feeling he had suffered a great loss, Young Master Wang reached out once more, pulled out another fist-sized spiritual fruit, and took a bite...
The specific effects of these spiritual fruits have been fully studied, and Old Zhao sent a report a few months ago.
However, because the growth cycle of the spiritual fruit is long and the planting conditions are harsh, there is no possibility of large-scale development, so it was not named, and these things in Nanjing became Wang Dashao's private property.
Wang Zheng tossed the Mirage Pearl to his mother the moment he returned, adding that someone might come to use it for cultivation.
In the past six months, a total of thirteen aspiring grandmasters have visited.
Well, the effect was rather lackluster, not as powerful as Wang Zheng had imagined, and it only reached 11th place in total...
Despite the high success rate, most of these individuals are hidden elites under the military or the Ministry of Education, and their success can be described as the result of years of hard work and accumulated experience.
If this were an ordinary martial artist, Young Master Wang would probably have a success rate of at least 50%.
Even if the effect is small, it's still better than taking the exam without any preparation. But given their status as quasi-masters, no one can afford the price.
This led to Wang Zheng's pockets bulging once again, and he had so many cultivation resources that he could hardly use them all. So, the wealthy young master Wang naturally didn't mind the consumption of spiritual energy from these spiritual fruits...
Just as he was about to take advantage of Chu Xiaoman's absence to sabotage the medicinal herb field again, he suddenly heard a series of deafening cheers coming from the freshmen dormitory in the distance.
Wang Zheng silently counted the days. It had been more than a month since Chu Xiaoman and the others left school, so the final of the martial arts tournament had been going on for a month.
It's probably already nearing its end.
Now, considering the students who stayed at school during the holidays, it's not hard to guess why they cheered just now.
Wang Shao was busy cultivating recently and didn't pay much attention to the martial arts tournament, but when Old Man Chu led the team away, he still reminded the previous champion who brought unparalleled glory to Nanjing University.
Moreover, because all the colleges except Nanjing University signed a petition, and Zhao Yucai finally approved it, the organizing committee decided to invite Grandmaster Wang Zheng as a special guest, which can be considered as completely cutting off Grandmaster Wang's opportunity to bully the weak.
However, at that time, Young Master Wang was at a critical juncture in refining his innate primordial energy, and his attributes were soaring, making it difficult for him to move around, so he directly declined the offer.
As for the Nanjing University delegation, Duan Fang, who was far away in Mongolia, never returned. It is unknown whether he broke through his limits in the face of life-and-death trials or had already passed away.
Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman successfully qualified for the competition and went to Shanghai with Lao Chu.
These two sisters, one with exceptional personal strength and the other with unparalleled summoned beasts, naturally have no problem with a mere intra-school competition.
It's just a pity for Mei Yiqi. As a prodigy in the same year as Wang Zheng and others, he is only one of the four naturally awakened individuals in the 2026 class!
How embarrassing!
Although he managed to secure a spot in the school's selection competition, he was severely weakened by a series of strong opponents. After giving his all to defeat three challengers, he was ultimately defeated by a senior student and missed out on the finals in Shanghai.
However, this kid does have some backbone. I heard that after failing to be selected, he didn't make any excuses and went to the wilderness to train all by himself...
Wang Zheng listened carefully to the cheers and shouts of encouragement in the distance; it seemed that a student from Nanjing University was about to take the stage.
Hearing the deafening cheers coming from the school, Young Master Wang, who had been quiet for a long time, began to stir.
"Although my body is perfectly fine after a long period of seclusion, I've been itching to break through. If I hadn't been determined to reach 50%, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold back for so long."
"It's good to get out and relax. I have nothing else to do anyway, and Shanghai isn't far. Maybe I should go over and cheer them on?"
