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

The "murderous intent" theory was met with silence.

The referees had heard of this saying and had also seen those truly strong individuals who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

They do look very similar.

But the white wolf's boastful tone was also somewhat insulting and menacing.

The referees had no idea how to respond.

Fortunately, they have enough experience.

The three of them didn't say a word, but just kept their heads down and took notes.

Only when the atmosphere eased did a referee loudly announce, "White Wolf has successfully challenged Lü Kui and is promoted to fourth place in Class Yi Chou!"

Sparse applause broke out.

In the previous battle, Lü Kui scored higher, but it was useless.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

White Wolf knocked Lü Kui down, which, according to the rules of a life-or-death battlefield, is equivalent to killing him.

In this situation, the score is meaningless; being outscored by 100 points is still a victory.

However, as a newcomer, who was supposedly still a student, it was quite surprising that he could defeat Lü Kui, who came from a prestigious family, right away.

The trainees all felt a sense of unreality.

Normally, it would be the turn of the other people to take the stage next.

But now Lü Kui has fallen.

A referee specially took him to a nearby medical room for further examination.

Only two referees remained.

To prevent any further trouble, they stopped and started chatting with the white wolf.

The referee, Divine Sword, asked, "There's still a month until the college entrance exams for arts and sciences, and another half month after that is the martial arts exam. In a month and a half, can your Cloud Yang Skill reach its maximum level?"

"It should be possible. Teacher, do you have some inside information?"

The white wolf asked.

It's obviously too late to rely solely on arduous practice.

If you can get a few more temporary buffs, it's not impossible to rush in.

As for where the temporary buffs come from... sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself, and that's all you can do.

"It's not exactly inside information; those who need to know will know." The Divine Sword Referee shook his head. "The bureau is short-staffed right now. If you can make it before the martial arts exam, you can become a referee in the exam hall. The merit and points are very high."

"Okay! Thank you, teacher!"

The white wolf nodded calmly.

Merit is used for promotion.

Points are the internal currency of the Cultivation Administration Bureau, and are a hard currency that can be exchanged for resources.

Being able to gain merits and points without fighting to the death is definitely a good thing for most cultivators.

But for the White Wolf... well, that's just how it is.

Not long after, the referee who had left returned, and the remaining people began one-on-one practice.

Cen Feiyu glanced around and, seeing that the students were all behaving themselves, walked over to Bai Lang and asked, "You've had one fight today, you can rest now. Do you want to go back to your dorm to train?"

The white wolf was about to nod.

But remembering his previous experience of exploiting the school's resources, he decided to stay and try to find a suitable spot.

Cen Feiyu didn't say anything: "Okay, then I'll be going now. Remember to call Sister Yi in advance if you're not going to eat at the cafeteria tonight. Otherwise, she'll be angry."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and slipped out the door.

……

The only person he knew in the classroom was gone, but White Wolf didn't feel uneasy.

Although I'm not familiar with everyone.

But he has experience.

Just stand quietly to the side and wait a while...

Sure enough, people quickly gathered around.

"Hey! I heard you're a cultivation fanatic, what are you still doing here?"

The white wolf turned its head and paused for a moment.

If he hadn't heard the voice, he would have thought the person next to him was a man.

A straight and tall figure, specially groomed sharp eyebrows, and neat short hair.

He's a complete tomboy.

There was a girl standing next to the tomboy.

The girl's black hair was tied into a ponytail, with only two strands hanging down from her forehead, making her eyebrows and eyes appear very delicate.

White Wolf blinked and smiled: "I didn't take many martial arts classes in high school, so I haven't seen much of it."

"Tsk! Too modest! Can someone who only practices asceticism really beat Lü Kui?"

The tomboy sneered.

"Can you please stop provoking me every day?" The girl with the ponytail slapped the tomboy and then turned to introduce him to the white wolf: "My name is Li Qi, and her name is Wu Xuan. We are ranked fifth and third in the class."

"Oh?"

The white wolf instantly focused its attention.

Isn't this your own goal, and also the opponent who sees you as their goal?

Being of similar age, the three rivals quickly became close after talking about martial arts.

White Wolf learned that both of them practiced family-inherited martial arts techniques.

Li Qixiu's "Qingfeng Yin" and Wu Xuan's "Zhan Gui Jue".

These are all excellent cultivation methods that cultivate both internal and external aspects, completely different from common practices like Shui Mu Yun Yang Gong.

As the white wolf listened to this traditional family knowledge, he glanced around.

Although some people occasionally made eye contact with him, apart from Li Qi and Wu Xuan, no other students came over.

Come to think of it, this is a cold and indifferent workplace, unlike school.

After briefly recalling his past life's workplace experiences, White Wolf suddenly pulled out his phone.

The two girls shut their mouths, thinking he had something urgent to attend to.

But White Wolf only pressed a few buttons, and then stared intently at the screen.

"What's wrong? Don't know how to reply to a girl? Want your strategist to help you... hmm?"

Taking advantage of her height, Wu Xuan secretly tiptoed to peek over.

Just then, the phone's wallet app finally connected to the internet and displayed "54.63".

White Wolf glanced at the phone to confirm and then put it away: "It's nothing, I'm new here and just wanted to treat everyone to some drinks."

"How about we treat you..."

With your balance, you can barely afford to treat the two of us!

Wu Xuan really wanted to say that, but in the end she didn't.

"Ordering takeout definitely won't be enough." White Wolf roughly counted the number of people. "But I can cook. You guys wait here, I'll go to the market to buy some ingredients."

"The market is so far away, everyone's already gone to eat by the time you get back." Li Qi pointed out the window, "Why don't we go check out the canteen? They should have everything there."

"That makes sense!"

White Wolf's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed out of the classroom.

Just as I ran out of the corridor, my phone suddenly started vibrating in my pocket.

When I took it out, I saw it was my high school roommate.

My roommate brought me some news: White Wolf's father called the dorm looking for him over the weekend, but couldn't get in touch with him.

My roommate also emphasized, "Your dad seems a bit angry when he heard you moved out, so be careful."

White Wolf nodded, thanked him, and then hung up the phone calmly.

His parents divorced when he was very young, and then each remarried and had children.

When they were children, the two of them were bound by the law and could barely fulfill their obligations.

Once he gained some independence, both sides began to subtly forget about him.

For the past three years, they haven't given me any money for living expenses, or even tuition.

If it weren't for the odd jobs I was doing and other unexpected opportunities, I probably would have starved to death long ago.

For White Wolf, the importance of his parents had diminished considerably, becoming as significant as his own in their eyes.

However, he remembered something else.

White Wolf took out his phone and quickly dialed the number from memory.

The phone was answered after only one beep.

"It's rare to see you call me first," a shrill female voice came through. "What, have you finally seen the light?"
