Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 97 Choice
"I need to finish the school challenge!" Li Zhen gave an answer after thinking for a moment.

"Of course!" Pei Zhenxiu said with a chuckle.

At this moment, she no longer had the arrogance of a true foundation-building cultivator, and instead treated Li Zhen as a normal friend. This was all because of Li Zhen's talent.

Li Zhen was born in an ordinary family. Within half a year of entering school, he had already reached the fourth level of Qi training.

In terms of swordsmanship, Li Zhen mastered the "Sword Qi Thunder Sound". In terms of magic, he not only improved the basic magic to the Xiaofa realm, but also mastered a thunder magic at the Xiaofa realm.

Any one of these talents would be a dazzling achievement among the geniuses cultivated by major forces, not to mention so many achievements.

Pei Zhenxiu knew very well that if she poached Li Zhen from No. 2 Middle School, it would definitely make Principal Wang of the No. 2 Middle School unhappy.

But what does it matter? A genius like Li Zhen cannot be kept in No. 2 Middle School.

If she doesn't try to poach him, it won't be long before other forces will poach Li Zhen away. As long as Li Zhen shows his potential, no one is blind.

"I noticed that you have been hiding your strength, which is understandable. If you don't hide your strength, a small county like Yunxi County will not be able to protect you.

But since you are going to enter Tianchang Qingmu Affiliated Middle School, you no longer need to hide your strength. Show as much strength as you have. Tianchang Qingmu Affiliated Middle School has the ability to protect your growth. At the same time, the better you perform in the challenge, the more educational resources you will get when you enter Tianchang Qingmu Affiliated Middle School!" Pei Zhenxiu continued.

Li Zhen's caution can be seen from the fact that he practiced the rare "Qi Concealment Technique" in order to hide his strength.

This kind of caution is necessary and is also a way of survival.

But that was in a small city. Once you enter a big city, you don’t need to worry too much about this issue.

Especially students, they rarely leave school, which makes them safer.

And the more potential a student shows, the more closely the school will protect him or her.

Even No. 2 Middle School was able to hire Pei Zhenxiu to take care of the training for this group of challengers, not to mention the key middle schools in big cities.

"Is it really possible?" Li Zhen confirmed.

"I can guarantee that!" Pei Zhenxiu raised his right hand, made a gesture of assurance and said solemnly.

"Then I will work hard to achieve good results in the challenge!" Li Zhen nodded.

Pei Zhenxiu chuckled. She believed that Li Zhen’s strength was enough to at least get into the top five in the Tianchang City-level challenge.

But she didn't know Li Zhen's true hidden fighting power, which was exactly what Li Zhen hesitated about before.

After Li Zhen decided to accept Pei Zhenxiu's invitation and transfer to Tianchang Qingmu Affiliated Middle School, he planned to do something for the Second Middle School to repay the Second Middle School for its training.

All he can do is to get a higher ranking in the challenge competition, which will affect the resource allocation of No. 2 Middle School in the following year.

"Thank you Pei Zhenxiu for your care. I will take them to register!" Teacher Zou arrived in the afternoon.

"Just play your best in the competition. I will always be paying attention to you!" Pei Zhenxiu nodded slightly to the four students.

Her words made Wang Rushi, Shi Xuan and Fang Congzhi extremely excited. What an honor it was to receive the attention of a true foundation-building cultivator.

However, only Li Zhen knew that Pei Zhenxiu said this to him.

"Li Zhen, I guess I received the news that you're back, otherwise I would have notified your family!" Teacher Zou took Li Zhen and others away, and he said to Li Zhen on the way.

Teacher Zou left early this time in order to sort out Li Zhen's combat records. He thought Li Zhen had died in the battle, so of course he wanted to give Li Zhen corresponding honors.

Li Zhen's performance in defending the city was very eye-catching, and his contribution was almost equivalent to that of several people in the late stage of Qi training.

Teacher Zou plans to compile the battle records, then contact the school to report the honor, and then inform Li Zhen's parents of the honor and the news of Li Zhen's death in battle. This is the best option.

It was precisely because of his actions that Li Zhen's parents did not worry for nothing.

"Thank you!" Li Zhen thanked.

He was very happy that he didn't make his parents worry.

Teacher Zou arranged for several people to stay in a five-star hotel next to the competition venue. According to Teacher Zou, this is a free accommodation provided by the organizer of the challenge. The organizer is still very generous to the contestants, and each person has a standard room.

Teacher Zou asked them to put their luggage in their respective rooms first and then go to register together.

Li Zhen took his luggage and moved into his standard room. It was a five-star hotel and the best hotel in Tianchang City. In addition to various living facilities, the standard room also had a dedicated training room.

He entered the training room, which had an isolation formation set up to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out.

The spiritual energy here is as high as the lower grade of the second level. Although it is not as good as the Great Wall of Heaven in the Demon Kingdom world, the Great Wall of Heaven does not always have a supply of third-level spiritual energy. The third-level spiritual energy will only be used publicly due to war or problems with the formation.

With Li Zhen's level of cultivation, the second-grade lower-grade spiritual energy is already above the standard. This alone makes staying in a five-star hotel well worth the money.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Li Zhen does not need to spend credit points. The accommodation fee of a five-star hotel is not something he can afford.

After putting away his luggage, he came to the hotel lobby where Wang Rushi and the other two were already waiting.

The registration office was in the conference hall of the hotel, and Teacher Zou took them to the conference hall.

Since today is the registration day, there are many teams waiting to register in the conference hall.

"Senior, how many teams are there in total?" Li Zhen asked Wang Rushi when he saw that there were no less than twenty teams on the scene.

"There are seventy teams. Tianchang City has twelve counties under its jurisdiction, and each county has five schools. Each school will send a team, plus there are ten middle schools in Tianchang City!" Wang Rushi explained to Li Zhen.

"Don't look at the large number of teams. In fact, the top five are all from the ten middle schools in Tianchang City. We are just runners-up!" Shi Xuan said with a sigh.

As he spoke, a team of four people entered the meeting room.

This four-member team had no teacher leading it. The leader was a teenager of about sixteen or seventeen years old, followed by two girls and one boy of the same age.

The young man looked cold and arrogant, not taking the team in the conference hall seriously at all.

"I heard that Jing Zhengtian from Tianchang No. 1 Middle School has broken through to the seventh level of Qi training!" Li Zhen heard the faint voices of the students talking.

He couldn't help but take a closer look at Jing Zhengtian. Being able to become a late-stage Qi training cultivator in high school was an amazing talent.

You should know that in Yunxi County, those in the late stage of Qi training are already powerful figures in Yunxi County.

Jing Zhengtian walked to the back of the line, right behind Li Zhen and the others. Teacher Zou was talking to teachers from other schools at the moment.

Wang Rushi was the captain of the team. She gritted her teeth, waved her hand and asked Jing Zhengtian to step forward.

Giving up the order of queue is also a respect for the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. In addition, they will not be specifically targeted when facing Jing Zhengtian's team from Tianchang No. 1 Middle School.

Li Zhen did not go against Wang Rushi's wishes. There was no need to start a conflict here. It would be better to decide the outcome on the ring.

Jing Zhengtian glanced at Wang Rushi, Li Zhen and others, nodded lightly and walked past them.

Then every team in front asked Jing Zhengtian's team to step forward, and soon Jing Zhengtian signed up first.

"This is the appearance of No. 1 Middle School!" Shi Xuan said with envy.

"You and I are only at the fifth level of Qi training, but he is already at the seventh level, and the three people behind him are also at the sixth level!" Wang Rushi shook her head.

She has channels to obtain some information about the players and is very familiar with the situation of Jing Zhengtian's team.

"You don't have to worry in two years. Li Zhen will be able to fight him by then!" Shi Xuan turned and looked at Li Zhen and said.

"We will graduate in two years, and Jing Zhengtian may have entered a top university!" Fang Congzhi replied with a sigh.

He naturally hoped that Li Zhen would achieve good results, but by the time Li Zhen grew up, he had already left No. 2 Middle School in his second year of high school.

“Don’t be discouraged, as long as you perform well in the challenge, you may be noticed by key schools, or even be accepted by the twenty-four fairy country academies without taking exams!” Wang Rushi was worried that they had lost their fighting spirit, so she encouraged them.

Even though Wang Rushi had good talent, she did not place her hopes on the seven top universities. Her biggest hope was to be able to enter one of the twenty-four fairy country academies, which was her best wish.
