Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

"I don't want to be class monitor!"

The white wolf's voice was a bit loud.

Not only Fang Chi, Cen Feiyu, and the white-haired old man, but also several acquaintances noticed it.

Even the young leaders on the podium put down their speeches and looked over quietly.

Fang Chi took a deep breath and growled in a low voice, "White Wolf, don't talk nonsense!"

"Boss, I'm serious!" White Wolf said solemnly, "I don't have leadership skills, I can't be the class monitor!"

In fact, even the White Wolf didn't know if he actually possessed this talent.

But being a junior manager is something I'm tired of all the mental and physical strain of; I've had enough of that in my past life.

Since we finally have something as interesting as cultivation in this lifetime, why waste our time on all sorts of interpersonal relationships?

Needless to say, he needs to rely on the "Devoted Martial Arts" system.

If a soldier refuses a temptation, it can be said that the young comrade is ignorant.

A leader who resists temptation is called taking sides!

They won't even know how they die!

White Wolf's expression was righteous and indignant, even somewhat aggressive.

Fang Chi and Cen Feiyu could only sigh and turn their heads away.

The white-haired old man sneered, as if he were watching a joke.

The entire conference hall was buzzing.

Everyone was whispering.

It's only been a few years since the Cultivator Administration was established, and this is the first time someone has refused a promotion.

A moment later, a staff member carefully ran up to the stage and handed a small note to the leader on stage.

The leader glanced at it briefly, then patted the microphone.

"Bang! Bang!"

The conference hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone was waiting for the leaders' verdict.

The leader cleared his throat: "After review by the Administration Bureau, it has been agreed that Bai Lang will step down as squad leader. In accordance with the order of strength and merit, Jing Xi will now be the squad leader of Yi Chou Squad."

After saying that, he smoothly continued reading the rewards and punishments for the "Yunhai Building Incident".

It was as if they were afraid that Jingxi would also follow Bailang's example and refuse the appointment.

Fortunately, Jingxi is a promising candidate for a traditional cultivator.

She sat in the audience, receiving blessings from the girls around her.

For the first time, a look of helplessness appeared on her usually calm face, but she forced herself to hold it in, as if she wanted to project the authority of a class monitor.

The list of those rewarded and punished is not very long.

After all, most people are just background figures, like ordinary security guards separating the inside from the outside.

After the announcement was completed, everyone went up on stage to receive their awards.

White Wolf pinned the bronze medal to his left breast and stood ramrod straight.

Although it won't change anything, at least a better attitude can salvage some of the impression, right?

He noticed that the white-haired old man was standing to his left.

Judging from their positions and the material of the medals on each other's chests, their contributions were roughly equal.

But I was just an unofficial staff member.

The white-haired old man was an instructor, and he was incredibly lucky to have gotten such a meritorious post.

The fact that the two of them can stand together means this old man has really lost out.

Thinking this, a hint of pity inevitably appeared in the white wolf's eyes.

The white-haired old man sneered, "This time it was Cen Feiyu who protected you. But he's already been promoted and won't be going on missions anymore. Let's see what you'll do next time!"

"Hehe!" White Wolf chuckled. "I listened carefully just now. You're Lu Hao, and you're in charge of Class C."

"So what?" Lu Hao's brows furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes like a sword.

"So next time I see you, I'll avoid you and won't give you a chance!"

White Wolf spoke in the most reckless tone, uttered the most cowardly words, and then stared straight ahead, refusing to say another word.

He was looking at the semi-transparent light screen in front of him.

[Conditional condition met!]

You have succumbed to a particular temptation!

[Reject the temptation of power for the sake of martial arts!]

[Gained Superpower: Lone Soul in Desperate Circumstances]

[Lone Soul in Desperate Situation: Increases all attribute effects by 100%. However, the effect decreases by 20% for each additional companion nearby. Effect duration: 30 seconds; Cooldown: 2 hours.]

[Gain permanent buff: All martial arts training efficiency permanently increased by 10%]

"Hmm, this is truly a great ability to turn the tide in desperate situations." White Wolf looked at his newly acquired ability. "It's just that you can't have more than five companions around you, otherwise it might become a debuff."

"So you should usually blend in with people, but during battles, the fewer people the better."

"But if necessary... never mind, thinking about it any longer would make me a traitor."

White Wolf quickly controlled his thoughts.

As for the improvement in cultivation efficiency, it has now increased by 20% in total.

This is a permanent bonus; even without temporary buffs, it's equivalent to having nearly 5 more hours per day than others.

Not to mention that after adding a temporary gain of 2000%, the peak growth rate can directly reach 2400%.

Overall, White Wolf was very satisfied with exchanging an unwanted leadership career for these two rewards.

Soon, several unfamiliar leaders stood in the middle of the crowd.

The flash went off dozens of times.

The ceremony then concluded.

Just as White Wolf was about to leave with the crowd, he heard someone call his name.

It's that young leader from earlier.

Fang Chi, Cen Feiyu, and Lu Hao were also left behind.

The young leader led four people into a conference room.

Afterwards, Wei Zhou, the chairman of the committee, was already waiting inside.

"The environment wasn't quite right just now. But now, I want an explanation." Wei Zhou looked at Cen Feiyu, "What did you say before?"

Cen Feiyu kept her eyes straight ahead and honestly said, "Bai Lang's strength is among the top in Class Yi Chou."

"He has been practicing for less than three years, and his original high school was not a key school, which shows that his potential in martial arts is even greater."

"Based on what I saw on the spot, his performance and ability to make quick decisions far exceeded his actual ability, and his sense of responsibility and ability to withstand pressure were also very good."

Only then did he glance at the white wolf: "That's why I recommended him to take over as class monitor of Class Yichou."

Wei Zhou remained silent and looked at Fang Chi again.

Fang Chi was relatively more relaxed.

Unlike Cen Feiyu, he didn't need to coast along in Weizhou.

"The anomaly codenamed 'Infant Spirit' was discovered based on White Wolf's speculation," Fang Chi said, shrugging. "Whether it was based on mere speculation or pure luck, at least they have some skill, right?"

Wei Zhou stared at their expressions, then looked at Lu Hao: "Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Hao's chest heaved.

But with so many people in front of him, he still didn't dare to lie: "More or less!"

"Alright! This means there was no favoritism or corruption, and the process was fine." Wei Zhou finally smiled. "It's just that we didn't communicate well beforehand."

He looked at White Wolf: "I don't care what you're thinking, but since you've exposed your shortcomings in public, the path of organizational management is over for you."

"Understood!" White Wolf nodded.

"But that would mean less reward for your achievements. The Administration has a system for rewards and punishments. I just discussed it with other leaders, and we're going to give you the position ahead of schedule."

Wei Zhou said.

"Oh, thank you, boss."

The white wolf behaved very indifferently.

He had completely forgotten that he hadn't been formally employed yet.

"Don't rush, there's more." Wei Zhou waved his hand. "You don't want to be class monitor. But your abilities can't be wasted. The leaders think you can be promoted to special assistant. Specific authority will be given to you later."

The white wolf's eyes lit up.

Acting first and reporting later—the Administration Bureau gave them special permission!

Seeing the white wolf's drastic change in reaction, Wei Zhou curled his lips again: "Since you're already officially employed, according to the cultivator management regulations, you're considered a directly recruited personnel."

"Hmm?" The white wolf suddenly became alert.

"It just so happens that both homeroom teachers are here." Wei Zhou took out two reports and tossed them to Fang Chi and Lu Hao.

"We're preparing for the college entrance exam. There's been some news circulating about Liancheng High School, one of the exam venues. The bureau has decided to send two classes of you to investigate."

The white wolf was stunned.

Wei Zhou looked at the white wolf and smiled warmly: "Yes, it's your alma mater."

The president glanced at the others again: "Because it just so happens that it's Fang Chi's turn to be investigated internally... Lu Hao is in charge of both shifts for this mission."

"Don't worry! The experts assessed that the creature's reaction was minimal, so its strength should be quite average. You can definitely handle it."

Wei Zhou smiled.

"I hope the three of you will have a pleasant collaboration!"
