When An Lin woke up again, the first thing he saw was Xu Xiaolan's flawless face.
She leaned close to him and blinked her eyes as if she was checking something.
"Is there something on my face?" An Lin asked weakly.
Xu Xiaolan smiled faintly. "Yes."
She stretched out her slender finger and gently touched the tip of An Lin's nose.
An Lin was embarrassed by such an intimate action. He blushed and said, "It's not good to take advantage of me when I'm weak …"
"Rip!"
"Ah … it hurts!"
An Lin covered his nose and shouted. Then, he saw a small talisman in Xu Xiaolan's hand.
"This is the Hemostasis Talisman. Seeing that your nose isn't bleeding anymore, I tore it off."
Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
Then, she continued, "An Lin, it's your first day as a section representative, and you're already working so hard that you even fainted due to a nosebleed. You're really something."
An Lin touched his nose awkwardly.
He didn't know how to respond to Xu Xiaolan's words.
"Oh, by the way, where's Su Qianyun?"
"She left after Medicine Master Liu said that you were fine."
"You don't know how she looked when she found out the real reason you fainted from Medicine Master Liu. Tsk, tsk, tsk …"
"I finally had a chance to make the number one goddess of the university like me, but I'm afraid it's all gone now."
Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin with a gloating expression.
An Lin sighed. "She won't like me anyway. What's the point of thinking so much about it?"
"At least you know your place. Hurry up and go eat!" Xu Xiaolan shouted.
Only then did An Lin realize that his stomach was empty.
"You didn't eat either?" An Lin asked.
"It's all because of you!"
"I went to the cafeteria, but when I heard that you fainted, I rushed over to take care of you. Tell me, how are you going to repay me for treating you so well? "Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at An Lin and snorted coldly.
"How about I devote myself to you?" An Lin said with a grateful expression.
"Scram!"
…
Just like that, An Lin's life returned to normal.
Days passed by, and Su Qianyun would still come to him to learn Chinese and English. However, she maintained a subtle distance from him, clearly holding a grudge against him for what had happened in the past.
But even so, An Lin was the only one who could talk to her.
After all, apart from cultivating, Su Qianyun only cared about learning those two languages. She did not care about anything else.
…
Before he knew it, three months had passed.
One night, a certain shackle in An Lin's body was broken by a vast energy, and he successfully broke through to the Fourth Stage Dao Body!
This could be said to be the happiest night of An Lin's life.
Through his hard work, he proved that he didn't need to rely on that damned system, but could rely on his own ability to cultivate!
"Hmph, so what if you want me to do a hundred million to the power of a hundred million push-ups? I'll just cultivate by myself!" An Lin said proudly.
Although he said that, he still looked at his God of War System expectantly.
"Fifth Stage Dao Body — Condition: Absorb the vital energy of ten spirit stones."
Spirit stones? An Lin was slightly taken aback.
His school provided food and lodging, so he had no chance to come into contact with the energy currency of the cultivation world.
Therefore, he did not have a single spirit stone.
Ten spirit stones shouldn't be too hard to come by. Should I ask Xu Xiaolan and see if she has any?
An Lin was just about to go next door, but he stopped at the door and hesitated.
As the last student in Class One, he had often troubled Xu Xiaolan to tutor him.
It was also because Xu Xiaolan had helped him too much that An Lin really couldn't bring himself to ask her for money.
Just as An Lin was hesitating, a figure flashed through his mind — Xuanyuan Cheng!
He had once said something like this to An Lin, "If you encounter any problems with your cultivation, you can tell me. As the class monitor, I'll definitely do my best to help you!"
Xuanyuan Cheng's house wasn't far from here. It wasn't too late now, so he should be able to make it if he rushed over.
With this thought, An Lin set off and headed to Xuanyuan Cheng's house.
An Lin didn't know if what Xuanyuan Cheng said that day was true or false. To be honest, he had a lot of pressure on this trip.
But for the sake of cultivation, he was ready to go all out.
With a perturbed mood, An Lin knocked on Xuanyuan Cheng's door.
When the door opened, he saw Xuanyuan Cheng wearing a golden robe.
Seeing that the person standing outside the door was An Lin, a gentle smile appeared on Xuanyuan Cheng's face.
"May I know why An Lin is visiting at night?"
Xuanyuan Cheng's speech and behavior were elegant and decent, which made An Lin's nervousness ease a lot.
"Class monitor, you told me before that if I encounter any difficulties in cultivation, I can ask you for help. Is that true?" An Lin asked.
"Of course it's true. An Lin, did you encounter any difficulties? Come, let's talk inside. "Xuanyuan Cheng gestured for An Lin to come in.
An Lin waved his hands and said with some embarrassment, "There's no need to trouble yourself. I just want to borrow ten spirit stones from you. I'll return them to you when I have more spirit stones in the future."
"That's it?" Xuanyuan Cheng smiled faintly and took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage ring. Without asking why An Lin wanted these spirit stones, he tossed it to him.
"I don't have any spare change. Here are five hundred spirit stones. You can have them all."
"This …"
An Lin held the heavy spirit stones in his arms and was a little dazed.
Xuanyuan Cheng laughed heartily and his eyes were full of encouragement. "As long as you have the will to improve and work hard in your cultivation, this little bit of money is really nothing to me."
An Lin was extremely touched. He had a thousand words to say, but they all came together in one sentence. "Big Brother Cheng, thank you!"
With the five hundred spirit stones in hand, An Lin returned to his house.
He placed all the spirit stones on the table and they piled up into a small mountain.
Looking at the glistening, translucent stones that glowed with a faint green luster, An Lin was extremely excited.
He impatiently activated his cultivation method and absorbed the vital energy within the spirit stones.
Waves of warmth flowed through his body and continuously cleansed and strengthened his body.
After ten spirit stones, a burst of energy broke through a certain seal with a crack.
An Lin's aura changed and his rank broke through to the Fifth Stage Dao Body.
There was no time to sigh with emotion. The first thing he did after breaking through was nervously look at his system interface.
"Sixth Stage Dao Body — Condition: Absorb the vital energy of ten plus ten spirit stones."
What a familiar routine …
Seeing this string of words, An Lin couldn't help but mutter again, "Big Brother Cheng, thank you for your spirit stones …"
After absorbing twenty spirit stones, An Lin's rank broke through to the Sixth Stage Dao Body.
Then, a new notification appeared in the system interface.
"Seventh Stage Dao Body — Condition: Absorb the vital energy of ten times ten spirit stones."
…
The corners of An Lin's mouth curled up. This kind of familiar condition was like swapping push-ups for spirit stones!
He didn't hesitate at all and continued to absorb the energy from the spirit stones.
After absorbing the energy of one hundred spirit stones, his aura once again broke through a certain threshold and he broke through to the Seventh Stage Dao Body!
There was a satisfied expression on An Lin's face as he sensed the vast and surging energy within his body.
In a single night, his cultivation base broke through from the Third Stage Dao Body all the way to the Seventh Stage Dao Body. This made him feel as if he was in a dream.
One had to know that the Seventh Stage Dao Body was already considered the average level of freshmen in Xiuxian United University.
The higher one's cultivation base was, the more difficult it would be to advance.
For ordinary people in the Dao Body Final Stage, they would need to spend several years, or even several decades, to advance to the next stage.
Even the prodigies who could enter this university had to cultivate diligently for one or two years before they could achieve this.
Yet, An Lin had achieved this simply by swallowing spirit stones. He couldn't help but feel elated.
Looking at the remaining three hundred or so spirit stones, An Lin knew that their use might have come to an end.
After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he would need ten billion spirit stones to continue breaking through …
Although this was what he thought, he still glanced at the system, unwilling to give up.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but once he did, An Lin was stunned again.
