A lot of things happened in Floating Spear City in these three days.
On the second day of the Disabled Servicemen Association's victory parade, the Crimson Nimbus Guild announced the personnel changes for their educational institution, "Chixiao No. 2 High School".
The former principal and director of education were transferred to an elementary school under the Crimson Nimbus Guild.
The former director of the school, Helian Ba, was found to have committed a great deal of dereliction of duty during his tenure as director of Chixiao No. 2 High School and four other positions in the Crimson Nimbus Guild.
The Crimson Nimbus Guild immediately launched an emergency procedure and dispatched an investigation team led by two elders to investigate the Helian Family. They also held a press conference and reiterated that the Crimson Nimbus Guild was one of the most famous righteous sects in the Xing Yao Federation. They would not tolerate any illegal behavior and would deal with it severely.
Several cultivators of the Helian Family also expressed their stance one after another. Helian Ba and his son were the black sheep of the Helian Family. The family knew nothing about their actions and were deeply distressed for not properly educating Helian Ba and his son. They absolutely supported the Crimson Nimbus Guild's investigation and punishment. After the Crimson Nimbus Guild punished them, the Helian Ba and his son would be punished according to the family rules!
Whether it was in the Crimson Nimbus Guild or the Helian Family, Helian Ba and his men were uprooted overnight. They were all deserted!
The family members who were somewhat distant drew a clear line between themselves and the Helian Ba and his son. They even took out their secret evidence and ruthlessly stabbed the Helian Ba and his son with a knife.
The core members were all in a state of panic as they waited for the investigation team to arrive. No one dared to take even half a step out of the house.
Helian Ba even had the heart to hang himself and slit his own throat.
Although Helian Lie obtained second place in the Floating Spear City's college entrance exam, no one from the Nine Universities of the Nine Universities had a good result. However, due to the influence of this matter, not a single university in the "Big Nine" issued an invitation to him. There were even a few universities that hinted through unofficial channels that even if Helian Lie applied for their own university, they might not necessarily accept him.
— This was the first time Helian Lie said the word "trash" in front of Li Yao. No one could have imagined such an outcome.
Li Yao did not care about Helian Lie's life or death at all.
In front of his eyes, a wider world had opened up, and a more worthy goal had appeared — to challenge Deep Sea University's Refining Department!
In order to achieve this goal, he had to become a cultivator as soon as possible.
After his Actualization Quotient reached 90%, he would enter the "Awakening Period".
Whether or not the Spirit Root could be awakened in the end depended not only on the accumulation of resources, but also on the cultivation of the mind.
His spiritual cultivation had reached a certain level. Even if one's Actualization Quotient was at 90%, it was still possible for one to gain an epiphany, awaken one's spirit root, and embark on the path of cultivation.
Even if his Spiritual Root Actualization Quotient was 99%, his spiritual cultivation was insufficient. The last 1% was also very difficult to accumulate with resources.
At most, he would become a top-notch martial artist with extraordinary strength.
In short, only when you find the path you want to take, find the "truth" you seek, and understand why you want to become a cultivator — can your spirit root be awakened!
The college entrance exam ended in the middle of June, and most freshmen would enter university at the beginning of October.
These three months were the most relaxing golden years of most people's lives.
The pressure of the college entrance exam had been removed, and the heavy workload of university studies had yet to arrive. Everyone could enjoy life to the fullest.
Li Yao planned to use these three months to travel north and south of the Federation.
On one hand, he wanted to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge. It could also be considered as making up for his regret of always staying in Floating Spear City's Artifact Graveyard.
But more importantly, he wanted to go out and cultivate his mind, hoping to gain some insights and a glimmer of opportunity in the great rivers and mountains of his motherland. A glimmer of inspiration would help him awaken his Spirit Root before he entered university and embark on the road of cultivation.
In a small, shabby train station, Li Yao carried his luggage and prepared to leave.
His best friends came to see him off.
"Uncle Zhao, thank you very much. This time, without the pressure from the Disabled Servicemen Association, Chixiao No. 2 High School would not have given in so quickly! "
Li Yao said very sincerely. He fiercely hugged Zhao Xinglang, the president of the Floating Spear City's Disabled Servicemen Association.
Zhao Xinglang laughed heartily and heavily punched Li Yao in the chest:
"I also want to thank you. You have really made our Disabled Servicemen Association proud. Hehe, a seriously injured 'disabled serviceman' actually came back as the top scorer of the college entrance exam. When we heard this news, us uncouth men were all dumbfounded, wondering if there was something wrong with our ears. Hahahaha! "
Li Yao blushed:
"Uncle Zhao, I have already proven that I have completely recovered, without any disability. Can this' disabled veteran 'status be taken back?"
Zhao Xinglang glared:
"What do you think the honor of the nation is, something that you can give out and take back as you please? You were seriously injured, your Spirit Root was torn, leading to severe disability — these are all facts. The nation cannot take back the treatment you deserve just because you have recovered! "
"But I always feel that I am not a real 'disabled serviceman'. I feel like I am an imposter."
Li Yao said very embarrassedly.
"This is simple. You just have to be strict with yourself in the future, so that all your actions are worthy of the words' Class 1 Disabled Serviceman of the Federation '. Isn't this enough? If there is an opportunity, you can also join the Union Army and kill to your heart's content in the Demon Beast Wasteland. That will be even more justified! "
Zhao Xinglang waved his big hand and said resolutely.
Li Yao puffed out his chest and said seriously: "I will. After I graduate from the Grand Desolate War Institution, regardless of whether I join the Union Army or not, I will go to the depths of the Wasteland to slaughter demon beasts and kill everywhere!"
Zhao Xinglang laughed and patted Li Yao's shoulder: "Good boy, I knew I didn't misjudge you. Go! Remember, no matter where you go, first go to the local Disabled Servicemen Association. The world's disabled servicemen are one family. No matter how big the problem is, brothers will face it together! "
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"
Li Yao felt a trace of warmth in his heart. He was an orphan since he was young, and his adoptive father had died several years ago. He never thought that when he was almost twenty years old … He would have such a special "family".
Thinking like this, he looked at his second friend with a trace of guilt in his eyes.
"Big Brother Hai, I'm sorry. These days, the Crimson Nimbus Sect's stock price has been falling. It has already fallen by 18%. Your loss is not small, right? "
Li Yao heard that Fiend Blade Peng Hai also had a lot of Crimson Nimbus Sect's stock. He didn't know how much he had lost this time.
"Of course, the loss is not small!"
Fiend Blade Peng Hai laughed and said with an indifferent expression, "So you must cultivate properly. Become a cultivator early and compensate your big brother! "
"The loss is really not small? Will it have any effect on your position in the Crimson Nimbus Sect? "Li Yao was a little nervous.
Fiend Blade Peng Hai had not yet answered when Sun Biao, who was standing on the side, laughed:
"Silly boy, you don't need to worry about him. The stock price is just a small matter. The key is his position in the Crimson Nimbus Sect! Peng Hai represents the new generation of the Crimson Nimbus Sect. In many sect affairs, he takes a more radical path. Zhou Yin, on the other hand, is a representative of the older generation. He advocates conservatism and stability. The two factions have long been locked in a fierce struggle! This time, as Peng Hai's junior brother, you have caused Chixiao No. 2 High School to suffer great misfortune. You have caused Zhou Yin to eat a solid loss. The younger generation has won a big victory. You don't know how happy Peng Hai is! "
"Peng Hai's junior brother?" Li Yao was surprised for a moment before he felt relieved.
He and Peng Hai were not only alumni of the Grand Desolate War Institution, but they were also discovered by the "Scum of the Cultivation World", Sun Biao.
The former relationship could only be said to be ordinary. In this day and age, any university would have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of students. Calling each other "senior brother or junior brother" didn't necessarily mean anything.
But the latter relationship was no small matter. If they were placed in the ancient cultivation world, then Sun Biao would be their "enlightening teacher". They were both Sun Biao's personal disciples. Naturally, they had the closest relationship between senior and junior brothers.
Peng Hai smiled. He also changed his words:
"Junior Brother Li, you don't need to worry so much. The Crimson Nimbus Sect may not necessarily be my home. What does a little loss in the stock count for? After you arrive at the Grand Desolate War Institution, you must cultivate well. Become a cultivator as soon as possible. If there comes a day when I come out and establish my own sect, maybe I will ask you to join me and become an elder in my sect or something. Hahahaha! "
"You want to establish your own sect?"
Li Yao was a little surprised. But after carefully thinking about it, he felt that it was a logical thing to do.
Peng Hai was one of the best experts among the younger generation of the Federation. As the saying goes, a golden unicorn is not a fish in a pond. If such a fierce person was properly won over, then it would be fine. But if he was unhappy in the Crimson Nimbus Sect, then pulling a group of people to go solo was a matter of course.
Thinking of this, Li Yao nodded and said with a smile, "There is no need to be an elder. If Big Brother Hai really comes out and establishes his own sect, then you must leave the position of 'Technical Director' for me. I will be responsible for refining all the magical equipment in the sect!"
"It's a deal!"
Li Yao and Peng Hai firmly shook hands. The veins on their foreheads were about to burst.
Then, he walked in front of the three ordinary people.
These three ordinary people might not have formidable strength, or they might not be able to calculate too much telepathic thoughts, or they might not be of any help to his cultivation.
But...
Li Yao was also full of gratitude towards them.
Grandpa Wang, Principal Mao, and his best friend Meng Jiang.
"Grandpa Wang, thank you for always buying the magical equipment I repair at a high price. You also often introduced jobs to me and brought me along to make money. Because of this, I was able to complete my high school studies!"
"Principal Mao, thank you for taking me in and letting me take the college entrance exam in the name of a mining middle school student!"
"Little Jiang, let's not talk about anything between us. When I was in a coma, whenever you were free, you would come to the hospital to take care of me. Others laughed at me for being a 'fleeting fiend star', but you still spoke up for me. Because of this, you even fought with others — I know all about it!"
Li Yao stepped forward and hugged his best friend.
Meng Jiang's eyes reddened as he emotionally said, "This is nothing. We are good brothers. If I don't believe in my brothers, then who can I believe in? Little fiend, I knew you wouldn't fall so easily. In my eyes, you have always been a demon! When you go to university, you must cultivate well and become a powerful cultivator as soon as possible. At that time, I can also go out and brag that my best friend is the Yuanying Old Monster. Haha, I guarantee that a lot of people will be scared to the ground! "
"Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long. I will definitely give you a chance to brag. But why is your face bruised and swollen? Someone even fought with you?"
Li Yao carefully looked at his best friend's face and found that there were heavy bruises at the corner of his eyes.
Meng Jiang giggled and said, "It was my dad — — speaking of which, it's all your fault!"
