I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything - Chapter 14
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sixteen of the most outstanding students entered the outer region to complete the sect assessment early in the morning.
However, this had nothing to do with Xu Lingjun.
His results were not bad, but just like what Wang Qingya had said, with such results, it would be a pipe dream to enter the four great martial arts universities.
He was quite aware himself that his foundation was not very good. As such, now that he had obtained an opportunity, he naturally would not slack off in the slightest.
Every day, he trained himself with the highest standards. He would take medicines on the premise that it didn’t affect his penis. Although the remaining source value points weren’t much, Xu Lingjun had already developed a few “providers”.
Life and death situations naturally did not occur everywhere and anytime. Xu Lingjun wasn’t Conan, and he didn’t have the aura that would make people die everywhere he went.
That being said, he would help little girls with their homework, and then refuse their request to marry him when they grew up… What a joke, he was just trying to get their gratitude, to think what they wanted was his person. That was too much.
When he was free, he would also help his classmates buy things and run some errands.
With this, his income and expenses could maintain balanced!
Under such intense efforts, coupled with his large amount of blood qi replenishment and the help of the three body-tempering pills that had been restored to their origin,
although he had just broken through to stage 8 of the Body-tempering tier not too long ago, he broke through again within three days.
In the bathroom, a series of the crackling sounds of bones sounded. The collision between the bones was like friction between weapons as they emitted waves of ear-piercing sounds.
At this time, Xu Lingjun felt that his bones were probably about as tough as cold weapons.
He had reached stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier.
Upon advancing another tier, there weren’t any impurities that flew out of his body. Or rather, the Celestial Demon grade Body-tempering technique was too overbearing, absorbing even the impurities into his bones, tendons, and meridians.
His skin had become softer, but it was also more elastic.
“Xiao Jun, it’s time to eat,” Wang Qingya called out from outside the bathroom.
Xu Lingjun responded and came out only to meet Wang Qingya’s suspicious eyes.
He asked in surprise, “What’s wrong, sister Yaya?”
“Nothing,” Wang Qingya said, “Wash your hands and go eat.”
Until Xu Lingjun was eating the sumptuous dishes on the table, Wang Qingya’s gaze on him was still strange.
Xu Lingjun sighed helplessly. He explained seriously, “Sister Yaya, I really didn’t use any facial cleansers behind your back. It’s just that my strength has improved. In addition to that, Sister Yaya, your cooking skills are really good which has caused my nutrition to be balanced. As such, my skin condition is getting better.”
Wang Qingya said in surprise, “There’s such a benefit to practicing martial arts?”
She had many close friends who were martial artists, but she had never seen their skin as good as Xu Lingjun’s.
Wang Qingya had seen Xu Lingjun’s changes up close.
When she first arrived, Xu Lingjun was indeed very good-looking, but because he had been working part-time all year round, his skin was not very delicate. It was just that he was too handsome, so the minor flaws had all been covered up.
But now, his skin was flawless.
Wang Qingya did not think that she liked Xu Lingjun romantically. She had always treated him as her younger brother. In addition, his mother and father had died in an accident because of her father and herself, so she had a responsibility towards him.
Why was why she wanted to marry him, take good care of him, and make it up to him.
Even though her feelings for him were fraternal, when she thought about the fact that she would have all kinds of intimate contact with this younger brother in front of her in the future, she didn’t have any thoughts of rejection…
After all, who wouldn’t love a good-looking man?
He was fair but not feminine, handsome but not lascivious. Who said that women couldn’t be lecherous?
“If I knew had known this, I wouldn’t have joined a war university. I would’ve chosen the same as you, and treated a martial arts university as my goal.”
Wang Qingya’s warm red lips wrapped around her chopsticks. She stared at Xu Lingjun’s fair and pretty face with some hidden bitterness. Then, she abruptly thought of something and said in surprise, “Wait, you said just now… you broke through again?”
“Yes, I’m at stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier. When Teacher Zhou comes back, I’m applying for the individual test!” Xu Lingjun smiled and said, “There are still two months before the Longmen examination. If I work harder during this period, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to enter the North Xuanwu University.”
However, Wang Qingya was not as happy. She just stared at Xu Lingjun with a strange expression and said, “Before I came here, I did pay attention to your situation. I’ve always known about your progress… It shouldn’t be so fast, right? Why is it that since I came, you’ve been advancing with rocket speed?”
“Maybe it’s because there’s someone at home waiting for me, so I’m motivated?” Xu Lingjun casually gave an excuse.
Wang Qingya said regretfully, “What a pity… if you could break through a few days earlier, perhaps you could have also been a candidate in the sect assessment this time.”
“Sects are not where my interests lie. If I join a sect, I won’t have any freedom. Although the sect won’t restrict my movements too much, I’m not interested in having someone above me for the rest of my life.”
Xu Lingjun took a bite of the fatty but not greasy braised meat and said, “But looking at the time, I’m afraid the sect assessment will be over soon, right?”
“Teacher Zhou took five days off. I’m afraid it’ll take another two days,” Wang Qingya put a drumstick into Xu Lingjun’s bowl and said, “Eat more.”
“Sister Yaya, aren’t you going to eat?”
“No, I’m trying to lose weight.”
“But sister Yaya, you’re not fat.”
“Don’t worry. Even if I lose weight, I’ll only lose weight in places like my waist and legs. You’ve already said that you like this size, so I definitely won’t let my breasts become smaller. Otherwise, what will you do if you don’t like the feeling of them in your hands in the future?” Wang Qingya smiled mischievously at Xu Lingjun.
Xu Lingjun, “…”
He sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, “Sister Yaya, don’t you know that it’s already very hard on me since I’m replenishing my blood and Yang every day? Why are you still talking so suggestively to me… Are you really not afraid that I’ll go berserk?”
However, when he looked at Wang Qingya’s bright and gentle smile, a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes.
She did not love him, and he did not love her.
However, without a doubt, being with Wang Qingya made him the most comfortable and relaxed. It was as if they had skipped the stage of passionate love between newlyweds and directly entered the stage of being an old married couple that was inseparable like one’s two hands.
Having lived two lifetimes, he no longer yearned for passionate love. Instead, he preferred such plain and bland happiness more.
Just as Xu Lingjun was enjoying the blissful time peacefully, outside Qingzhou City, the outer region was where demonic beasts were gathered.
Although it was deep in the night, the sixteen people didn’t rest. They hastily gathered some wild vegetables and other things to fill their stomachs.
There were many demonic beasts in the outer region. They were not in the Qi-gathering Tier yet and were only candidates to become martial artists. Normally, they would not dare to come to this place.
However, for the assessment, they had to take the risk.
The sixteen people had already searched the outer region for three whole days.
However, they still could not find the whereabouts of the man-eating demonic beast. Fortunately, they did not encounter any powerful demonic beasts. Otherwise, there would have been casualties.
“Don’t go any further,” Li Lei suddenly said in a low voice, “If we go any further, we will be in the territory of the blue-eyed snow tiger. It is a level 5 demonic beast and is extremely powerful. If we accidentally barge in, I’m afraid our lives will be in danger…”
“How do you know?” Another student, Wei Hua, asked, unconvinced.
He knew that although no protective personnel was around, it was said that everyone had a listening device on them. The so-called comprehensive performance assessment had started from the moment they entered the outer region.
Ever since Li Lei had entered the outer region, it was as if he had divine help. He was always able to easily discover the hidden dangers.
It was all thanks to him that they had not encountered any danger in the past few days.
Unknowingly, he had already become the tacitly approved leader.
Once a decision needed to be made, everyone would instinctively look to him.
This was not a good sign. If this continued, Li Lei would most likely be able to get a spot.
“Didn’t you notice that there were feces on the way here? The anus of the blue-eyed snow tiger is covered with hair, so there are white hairs mixed in the feces. This is their unique characteristic, and they have the habit of using feces to mark their territory,” Saying this, Li Lei looked around for a while, then pointed at some feces in the distance and said, “If you don’t believe me, go take a look.”
Wei Hua was not convinced and said, “What if that man-eating demonic beast sneaked into the tiger’s territory?”
Li Lei said, “Are you stupid? The blue-eyed snow tiger is extremely xenophobic. If that demonic beast did sneak into this place, either they are fighting right now, or that demonic beast has already been killed by the tiger. No matter which one it was, why would we still go in?”
Wei Hua, “… …”
Li Lei sighed. “Wei Hua, I know that you are not convinced by me and are afraid that I will snatch the spot that you want, but I have something to say. We are indeed competitors, but before the competition, we are teammates. There are enemies everywhere in the outer region. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill! If we are not careful, we will really die. Therefore, we should compete within the rules. If I am wrong, you are welcome to point my mistakes out. But if I am right, I hope that everyone will not argue with me for the sake of arguing…”
He sincerely said, “If you have any suggestions, please do say them. We used to be classmates, and now we are teammates. In the future, we will be senior and junior brothers. We are family.”
His words made Wei Hua both embarrassed and angry.
Another female classmate, Sun Jing, praised, “Li Lei, you know so much. We only have two days left now, do you have any way to find the demonic beast?”
“Of course I do. In fact, I’ve been quietly paying attention to the surrounding terrain during the whole time. According to the clues, I can identify the distribution of the demonic beasts. The man-eating ghost wolf definitely wouldn’t dare to approach the territory of the powerful demonic beasts, so I suggest that we split up and search the routes far from those powerful demonic beasts. With this, We can limit its range of activity, then surround it and kill it together!” Li Lei was saying these words seriously, but in his heart, he was already cheering.
He was cheering as such in his heart, “Thank you, Lingjun’s father… With the map you have left behind, I know the distribution of all the demonic beasts here very clearly. It feels so good to pretend to be something in front of my classmates as well as the senior sister. This time, I will definitely get the first place among the five-disciple quota..”
