Because he subconsciously thought that he had improved fast enough.
In fact, he was still not fast enough. Yan Qingcheng was already stronger than him at the same age. Even Tang Yuewu, who was younger than him, had entered the Scholar's Hall earlier.
"Vital energy leakage is only the most basic use of vital energy. After that, there will be the manifestation of vital energy. You have fallen too far behind. I don't want my disciple to be a piece of trash. Next time, we won't be master and disciple anymore."
After saying that, Su Xin's figure disappeared from the courtyard.
Crack!
Zhou Yang clenched his fists tightly. It was the first time he felt his pride being trampled on. More importantly, the opponent was a woman.
He thought he was already a genius, but in the eyes of those with foresight, he was still a piece of trash.
After a long time, the sky was already bright.
Zhou Yang loosened his fists. The pressure in his heart finally dissipated.
Su Xin was right. He still didn't work hard enough or slack off. There was not much time left for him. If he couldn't use all his strength quickly, death would be waiting for him.
The use of vital energy was very important to a warrior. Otherwise, he might not even be able to cultivate high level martial arts.
In the next few days, he almost forgot to eat and sleep, constantly practicing the use of his True Qi. Every time he exhausted his True Qi, he would only rest.
After five days, he finally could use his protective vital energy freely. He could also attack three directions at the same time with vital energy leakage. But it was still far from enough.
While Zhou Yang was cultivating, the Institute of Martial Arts announced the latest ranking.
His net worth had skyrocketed to one and a half million dollars, and his name had also appeared in the Rising Star List Handbook, which was updated every month.
County City's ranking, 17th!
Evaluation: Extremely talented, firm will, but poor use of vital energy!
This evaluation was exactly the same as Su Xin's.
The Rising Star Ranking published by Star Brilliance Institute didn't introduce new stars much, but it was definitely to the point.

Other than that, the news of losing the border battle spread in the county city.
A storm was coming.
The seemingly peaceful county city was turbulent. Although Xu Yunfei was dead, the Xu family kept it a secret. There were rumors that the Xu family was waiting to bury Xu Yunfei with Zhou Yang's body.
On the morning of the seventh day, Zhou Yang left the General's Mansion and arrived at the Dan Alliance.
The Dan Alliance could be found throughout the entire continent, and there was a branch in any of the three great nations' cities. Although there were many people and they were extremely powerful, the Dan Alliance had a rule, and that was not to participate in any power struggles, nor to fight for power.
This kind of rule and the Alchemist's own ability created the Dan Alliance's transcendent status in the continent, and it was precisely because of this that the Dan Alliance's Alchemists were highly respected.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yang finally decided to give it a try. Now, no matter how fast his strength improved, it was impossible for him to be compared with an elder like Xu Cangshan.
He needed time, and the identity of an Alchemist would undoubtedly buy him enough time.
With the order badge that Sima Yan had given him, he quickly entered the interior of the Dan Alliance and saw Sima Yan. After stating his intentions, Sima Yan brought him to the Dan Alliance's examination hall.
"Zhou Yang, you have mastered the Crimson Flame when you are only at the Martian Grade. You are a rare genius in our county city, and flames are extremely important to an Alchemist. This is why I invited you here directly, but the test later is not only about testing flames …"
Before he finished speaking, a group of people appeared in the hall. The leader was an elder with a stern expression, and beside him was Yuchi Zhenjie, one of the top ten young masters.
Yuchi Zhenjie's eyes were also filled with surprise. Clearly, he had not expected that Zhou Yang would be the one taking the test.
"Senior Yu, you have come at the right time. This is Zhou Yang, whom I have mentioned to you before. He has already mastered the Crimson Flame," Sima Yan said as he looked at the elder who was walking over.
The elder nodded and glanced at Zhou Yang, "Junior Yu, you don't have to say much. Of course, I know Zhou Yang. However, just the Crimson Flame is not enough. The most important thing for an Alchemist is still Mental Energy. If Mental Energy is too weak, no matter how strong the flames are, it is useless."
"Of course. Isn't today's test to see Zhou Yang's potential in the cultivation of Mental Energy?"
After he finished speaking, Sima Yan waved his hand, and a few disciples carried out a huge square black stone.
"Zhou Yang, this item is called the Underworld Stone. It can test the strength of your soul. The soul is the source of Mental Energy, and it is directly related to your future potential in the cultivation of Mental Energy. Place your hand on it, then calm your Qi and carefully sense the power in the Underworld Stone," Sima Yan said with a smile.
Zhou Yang nodded and followed Sima Yan's instructions. He placed his hand on the black stone and then closed his eyes.
A cold feeling drilled into his heart from his hand. Zhou Yang only felt that the Underworld Stone seemed to have a very gentle power that calmed his emotions. It was a very comfortable feeling.
"Buzz …"
Suddenly, the Underworld Stone emitted a dim light.
"The light is dim. It seems that his soul is very weak," Murong Zhenjie said with a smile.
"How could this be, could it be that I misjudged him …" Sima Yan frowned. He had always been good at judging people, but Zhou Yang's performance made him start to doubt himself.
"Junior Brother Sima, there is no need to blame yourself. The requirements to become an Alchemist are very strict. Not anyone can become one. It is reasonable that you misjudged him. It is impossible to find a random person on the street with Zhenjie's talent." The old man said with a smile that did not reach his eyes. It seemed like he was comforting Zhou Yang, but in reality, he was ridiculing him.
"Zhou Yang, let's end this. You are not qualified to become an Alchemist," Murong Zhenjie said with a smile, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Not suitable?"
Zhou Yang frowned. He immediately concentrated and took the initiative to make contact with the gentle power in the Underworld Stone.
In an instant, the dim light shone brightly. Then, with a "kacha" sound, the Underworld Stone cracked open. From the crack, a dazzling white light shone out.
Hong!
The Underworld Stone instantly broke into pieces, and the light dissipated at the same time.
All of this happened in a few short breaths of time. Before anyone could react, it was already over.
"This …"
Sima Yan was extremely excited. He knew very well what this meant.
"Impossible. How could this be? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Underworld Stone?" Murong Zhenjie walked in front of Zhou Yang and carefully looked at the broken Underworld Stone.
Zhou Yang did not understand why these people were so surprised. He was just confused as to why the power of the Underworld Stone suddenly disappeared.
The moment the Underworld Stone cracked, he felt the power most clearly. However, the moment the Underworld Stone broke, it completely disappeared.
"Haha … Looks like the Alchemy Guild will have another peerless genius."
After a while, Sima Yan laughed out loud. His laughter echoed in the hall.
