Although he had been tricked, to be honest, Liu Chuan and everyone present didn't really care.
With their abilities, it was not difficult for them to pass the martial arts exam and enter the school that they liked. However, they would not feel good if they were tricked.
Everyone cursed in their hearts.
"I'm going, Monkey. See you next time," said Liu Chuan as he waved at Monkey.
Lin Sisi was still a little weak, but she still smiled at Monkey. Compared to before, this was already extremely rare.
Monkey replied with a smile, "Alright, see you after the martial arts exam."
"All the best for the martial arts exam!"
"All the best!"
As Monkey and Liu Chuan did not go to the same school, they did not take the same vehicle back.
Nowadays, transportation and communication tools were very advanced, so there was no need to be reluctant to leave. They simply said goodbye to one another.
Of course, after spending a month together, the four of them could be considered to have gone through life and death together. Thus, they could call one another sworn friends.
…
…
In the training base…
After the students left, it was empty outside. The base gradually quietened down. The only sounds that could be heard were from the office.
"Commander, do we really not need to leave those students behind to inquire about the situation at the cave?"
"There's no need."
"Commander…"
"You are dismissed!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Wu Chuanjiang did not leave Liu Chuan and the others behind. It was not that he was not curious about the situation at the cave.
Instead, it was because he just so happened to know that there was a high chance that they had accidentally entered the ruins. He had also entered the ancient remains back then.
The first reason he did not leave them behind was to protect them.
After all, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Even in the Federal government, there would be parasites. There were too many people and there was no benefit in letting more people know that they had entered the ruins.
If someone had evil intentions, Liu Chuan and the others would be in danger.
Secondly, he naturally had a way to know what the cave was like. He could ask his master when the time came.
Therefore, he did not do or say anything. At the same time, he made his stance clear. None of these students were to be touched!
However, Liu Chuan and the others didn't know about this. Instead, they were a little puzzled as to why Wu Chuanjiang didn't ask them anything. They didn't know that he was actually protecting them.
…
…
The Federal government was considerate this time. They sent Liu Chuan and Lin Sisi to the doorstep of their homes.
Of course, Liu Chuan and Lin Sisi's house weren't that close, so they could only send them off one by one.
The car arrived at the entrance of Liu Chuan's house first.
Before getting out of the car, Liu Chuan looked at Lin Sisi's pale face and wondered if he should help her. He asked, "Lin Sisi, do you need help? I can send you back first before taking a taxi back."
"There's no need. You can go back first. My house isn't far away. I'll be there in a few minutes." Lin Sisi shook her head and rejected Liu Chuan's offer.
Seeing that Lin Sisi refused, Liu Chuan didn't insist and said, "Alright then, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he got off the car and left.
There was a hint of bitterness in Lin Sisi's eyes. Didn't this person know that girls often said the opposite of what they wanted?
Of course, Liu Chuan couldn't see it, because he didn't look back.
…
…
When Liu Chuan returned to his home, an unprecedented sense of exhaustion swept over him. He had never been this tired before.
Even though Liu Chuan had been eating and drinking well, this was only relative to the other students in the training camp. However, how could he sleep comfortably on the cold ground every day?
Although he ate well, he would miss his white rice after eating hamburgers and fried chicken every day.
This was coupled with the massive pressure he experienced in the ruins. Thus, Liu Chuan felt very nervous recently.
Now, he finally returned to his home. It was just an ordinary house that was neither luxurious nor gorgeous.
However, as the saying went, a house of gold or silver was not as good as one's own house. As soon as Liu Chuan walked into his own room, he collapsed on his own bed, his heart settling.
This bed was simply too comfortable!
Liu Chuan did not choose to cultivate today. He only wanted to have a good sleep.
After lying down for a while, he realized that he had not showered or washed up. His entire body was smelly. There was nothing he could do about it. He still had to take care of his health.
Therefore, Liu Chuan got up and took a comfortable shower. After washing up, he fell asleep.
Liu Chuan was indeed an impressive person!
He slept peacefully all night.
…
…
The next morning, Liu Chuan's biological clock told him that he should get up, so he was woken up.
When he woke up, it could be said that he felt refreshed. Liu Chuan felt as if he had come back to life. His body felt lighter than ever.
After his daily cultivation, he opened the system to check his attributes as usual.
Name: Liu Chuan.
Gender: Male.
Strength: 199.
Constitution: 205.
Speed: 199.
Vitality: 205.
Soul Power: 235.
Level: Level-9.
Body Tempering Progress: 80%.
Cultivation Technique: Returning to One.
Sword Skill: Three Thousand Sword Techniques (Incomplete)
Spirit Servant 1: Dogshit (Wolf King Puppy). Level: Level-12.
Spirit Servant 2: Gale Wolf. Level: Level-10.
Currently, aside from his soul power, the rest of his stats were around 200. Even though Liu Chuan's level hadn't increased in the past few days, he could faintly feel that he was about to level up soon.
After entering the remains, Liu Chuan had not encountered any creatures that he could defeat. Even on the rare occasion that he encountered other creatures, they were all big bosses he could not defeat. Therefore, even though Liu Chuan was already at the peak of Level-9, he had not leveled up as he was still lacking a little experience.
Moreover, he had a premonition that Level-10 was the highest level he could achieve before he advanced to become a martial artist. The system also had restrictions.
After all, it was impossible for his body to withstand the infinite improvement brought by the system without advancing.
The power brought about by leveling up was illusory and had no foundation. Liu Chuan needed continuous tempering to turn this into his true power.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to level up. His top priority now was to complete the tempering of his body before breaking through to become a martial artist.
At that time, his foundation would be truly stable. If he blindly pursued leveling up, he would be in a disadvantageous position. After all, this was not a real game where he just needed to level up by farming monsters every day.
Even though this world was similar to a game, they were still different.
For example, although the system could help him remember and learn sword techniques, it could not help him comprehend the sword intent. After all, sword intent was an extremely mysterious thing. Even the system could not help him comprehend it. He could only rely on himself.
However, this did not mean that the system was not good. On the contrary, with the system, there was a possibility for the ordinary Liu Chuan to change.
The system made up for the lack of Liu Chuan's ordinary aptitude. It even gave him a higher starting point than others and provided him with assistance in his cultivation.
Liu Chuan had already completed 80% of his body tempering. Only some parts of his skull were left. This could be said to be the most dangerous period of body tempering.
The human brain was the most mysterious and unknown thing in the human body. Other than the teeth, the forehead and cheekbones were the toughest parts of the human body. Therefore, Liu Chuan had to be extra careful.
If he did not control his vitality well and allowed it to touch his brain, it would not simply result in a small problem.
Apart from the nurturing functions of vitality, attacking was its main function.
When Liu Chuan finished his cultivation, he saw his phone flashing. It turned out that someone was chatting in the chat group. However, he had fallen asleep yesterday and did not look at his phone. Thus, he only saw the messages now.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chuan opened his phone to check.
