After the birthday banquet.
Lu Chenzhou returned to the dormitory.
He composed himself and continued his Heavenly Pile training.
He had turned 17 years old, and by this time next year he could be getting his driver's license, going out for drinks, doing all those adult things. It also meant if he wanted to earn money by winning the Martial Arts Academy exchange competition, he needed to make good use of these next two years. From the age of 19 onwards, he would only be able to register for the adult group competitions, where he would be competing on the same stage with opponents under 35 years old, facing a large number of Third Rank and even Tenth Rank enemies. If he wanted to make money, he had to act quickly!
...
January 5th, a rest day.
Lu Chenzhou had just finished his Heavenly Pile training to open the He Gu Acupoint in his dormitory.
"Opening the 13th acupoint isn't much different from the 12th, it shouldn't be a problem within 40 days."
