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

Yu Zhou raised his head.

She glanced around furtively, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she stealthily moved closer to the white wolf.

"Something serious? No, nothing! Should I ask around for you?"

As Yu Zhou approached, the white wolf smelled a fragrance.

It smells like shampoo, but a bit fresher.

Looking at her face again, it was serious yet a little frightened, like a child pretending to be an adult.

It's kind of cute.

White Wolf suppressed a slight unease within him: "Keep an eye out in the girls' group chat. If you hear anything, just tell me."

"Okay!" Yu Zhou didn't question why he should participate and agreed immediately.

White Wolf added, "Be careful, don't ask questions first, and don't be alone, to avoid being silenced, after all, you're so weak."

At first, Yu Zhou felt a little shy when he heard Bai Lang's concern.

But as she heard the rest, she took a deep breath and puffed out her cheeks.

She glanced to the side again before playfully punching the white wolf in the arm: "Yes, yes, you're so amazing!"

After saying this, Yu Zhou suddenly became depressed again.

The embarrassment and annoyance on her face dissipated like dust.

"What? You've come up with a clue?" White Wolf asked in surprise.

"No." Yu Zhou shook his head.

Under the light, the soft strands of hair bounced up and fell like silk.

"You've been working so hard to cultivate and become a cultivator, and now you've finally succeeded! What are your plans for the future?" the girl asked casually.

The white wolf blinked: "Cultivation, becoming stronger, slaying aliens, that must be it, right?"

"What happens after the outcasts are killed?"

"What a joke, you think you can kill all the aliens?" White Wolf chuckled.

He hadn't even thought about that question.

But now that his deskmate has asked, he can only ponder, "If the world were truly at peace, I..."

Yu Zhou held his breath, waiting with a mixture of anticipation and fear for the second half of the sentence.

"...No, wait, you're fucking asking me to set a flag!"

The white wolf suddenly raised its head.

"Huh?" Yu Zhou was completely bewildered.

"It's nothing." Remembering the other person might not understand, White Wolf quickly asked, "And you? Which university are you planning to apply to?"

Hearing Bai Lang change the subject, Yu Zhou frowned slightly.

But despite gritting her teeth and trying several times, she couldn't bring herself to ask the question she really wanted to ask, and could only sigh.

"A medical monastic program, perhaps?"

"This thing is pretty useless!" White Wolf specifically reminded him, "It's not proper medicine, and it's not for cultivators."

"I'm not like you, enjoying fighting and killing." Yu Zhou rolled her eyes. "Being able to save cultivators is enough for me!"

"Okay! If you pass the exam, you can come with me. I'll protect you." White Wolf patted Yu Zhou on the shoulder.

"Then it's settled!" Yu Zhou smiled again.

The two felt like they hadn't been chatting for long when the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Yu Zhou was startled and instinctively grabbed Bai Lang's arm: "Now that you're back, are you going to attend the third period of evening self-study?"

Beneath the wide glasses were round, deer-like eyes.

The way they looked, like little animals begging for food from humans, was so pitiful.

Even the white wolf felt pity for him.

So the white wolf said, "No, I'm going back to my dorm to cultivate."

As soon as he finished speaking, a screen of light popped up in front of his eyes.

[Resisting the temptation of beauty for the sake of martial arts]

[Gain temporary buff: Increases the effectiveness of the "Water and Wood Cloud Yang Skill" by 2000% for 24 hours]

Seeing his classmate's sullen expression, White Wolf shook his head and left.

If she weren't so beautiful, he might have stayed.

All I can say is that he has sacrificed too much for the sake of martial arts.

……

Boarding students generally attend the third period of evening self-study.

So when the white wolf returned to his long-lost dormitory, it was pitch black inside.

White Wolf turned on the light with practiced ease.

As expected, his bed was already filled with all sorts of clutter.

White Wolf didn't take it to heart.

He moved the items around to make room for himself.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the dormitory, he opened the water bottle that Deng Yi had given him, poured all his blood down, and then sat down cross-legged to begin his cultivation.

Time passed unnoticed during cultivation.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The sounds of doors opening and closing, creaking and groaning, filled the air.

Then, countless sounds, like the temperature rising, gradually increased in volume, eventually becoming a chaotic buzzing sound.

The white wolf frowned, but did not stop cultivating.

This is what it's like living in a dormitory.

That's why he moved out as soon as he found a place.

About half an hour later, my roommates finished washing up, and the lights were finally turned off again.

The sound didn't stop, but it became much sparser, and gradually the specific content could be heard.

"...Have you heard? Those boys from Class 4 next door who were sent home haven't come back yet..."

"...Has it been several days already?"

"...Bullys and victims are treated equally throughout the dormitory..."

The white wolf opened its eyes in the darkness.

The timing is right.

Moreover, it's normal for bullying to be associated with outcasts.

Just as the white wolf was pondering, Wang Tingfeng's voice rang out.

"You mean Su Bo? Nobody bullies him. He's just a loner, just like White Wolf."

Supo?

A thin, weak, and expressionless figure appeared in my mind.

The white wolf opened its mouth and asked directly, "What's wrong with Su Bo?"

"Damn, what are you doing here?" Wang Tingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

"I came back after my second class. What happened to Su Bo?" White Wolf asked again.

Another roommate said, "He got kicked out of school a few days ago! Apparently, he was straddling another student and pinching him so hard that even the security guards couldn't stop him..."

The group exchanged a few more casual words before falling silent.

It's as if an out-of-place person has appeared in the dormitory.

The white wolf didn't care.

He originally wanted to continue cultivating, but suddenly heard Wang Tingfeng speak again: "White Wolf, why don't you move out? It's awkward for everyone here."

The other roommates didn't say anything.

In this dormitory, everyone is following the established routine, just waiting for the final college entrance examination and martial arts exam.

At this moment, the King of Scrolls suddenly returned, making everyone uncomfortable.

White Wolf said calmly, "I'm broke. I got kicked out by the landlord. It'll only be a few days, so please bear with me."

For a moment, even the sound of breathing in the dormitory became much quieter.

My roommates are at an age where they value face more than life itself.

Hearing the white wolf's humble explanation, no one knew how to respond.

After a long pause, someone comforted the white wolf: "It's alright! It'll only be a few days. Once you pass the cultivator exam, you'll be all set."

Upon hearing this, the white wolf opened its mouth in the darkness.

He wanted to persuade everyone to spend their remaining time on spiritual practice.

The Cultivation Administration is currently short-staffed, and since this is their first cohort, they have a high probability of passing the exam as long as their abilities aren't too bad.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it.

One issue is the inability to explain the source of the information.

Another crucial period is the final stretch, which is extremely valuable for both the college entrance examination and the martial arts exam.

Everyone surely already has their own plans regarding how to allocate resources.

If I were to say this now and it shakes people's hearts, would I be helping them or harming them?

The white wolf hesitated.

But his sudden silence seemed to be a special kind of answer.

My roommates started making wild guesses.

Why isn't the white wolf speaking? Does he lack confidence?

Could it be that he injured himself during training?

Or was he really caught working as a male prostitute, which led to him losing his eligibility to take the exam?

No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the dormitory became awkward again.

At this moment, Wang Tingfeng suddenly chuckled and started a new topic: "Speaking of which, did you all know that one of our alumni is the richest man in the Nanyang area?"

"You mean Zheng Jing?" another roommate chimed in.

"Yes!" Wang Tingfeng said, "It's said that the principal is planning to invite Zheng Jing to give a speech for this year's college entrance examination."

"It's a pity the richest man is too busy; he only sent a gift."

"For this year's college entrance exam, I plan to aim for a region that's good, like Nanyang District."

Another roommate exclaimed, "It must cost a lot of money, right?"

Wang Tingfeng laughed: "It's only a few million! I know some netizens over there. He said I have great talent, but I'm not suited for the traditional martial arts of the Eastern Region. I need to go there to have a future..."

Seeing that the conversation about the dormitory had turned into the usual boasting, White Wolf sighed silently, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on his cultivation.

……

As the night passed, the white wolf opened its eyes in the sunlight.

The system panel displays:

[Main cultivation technique: Water-Wood Cloud Yang Technique, Level 9, 2.7/10]

The final stage is already more than a quarter complete.

In addition, there is ample time for training.

Reaching the maximum level is just a matter of days away.
