While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

If it were in another class, Ye Rou believed her husband would have a chance to get first place, after all, she was personally taught by the genius girl and personally channeled her true energy.

But there was a boy named Xiang Tianyou in Class 2 of Grade C, who had a strength of nearly 800 jin when he awakened.

"Xiang Tianyou didn't participate in the war?" Fang Jing asked.

"Yang Ding was really targeting Xiang Tianyou. Your husband's sweeping sword technique was truly masterful. Instructor Ye did a great job training him."

Ye Rou didn't care whether he was flattering her or telling the truth; in any case, her husband was number one, and he had made her proud.

She jumped up with joy, "Counselor Zhang, I'll pay for your lunch! My husband and I will treat you."

"No, no, I need to report to my team leader."

"Will the weekly test scores be included in my academic record?"

"They didn't need to before, but now they have to be added to the law enforcement bureau's files, saying that these students will be their team members from now on."

After the counselor left, Fang Jing teased, "Girl, you didn't just find a treasure, did you?"

"I knew Yang Ding had a calm and composed demeanor!"

Ye Rou couldn't wait to go find her husband and give him a big, passionate kiss.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Jiangling University is full of outstanding talents, but none of them can compare to your husband, right?" Fang Jing laughed.

Ye Rou plopped down on the desk, crossed her arms, and looked smug.

"So what if I have many talented men? They're not my husbands. Before my sister went to the North, she told me about her criteria for choosing a partner."

"What standard?" Fang Jing asked curiously.

Ye Rou's older sister, Ye Ke, not only possesses extremely high martial arts skills, but is also exceptionally intelligent.

She is usually quiet and reserved, spending her time either cultivating herself or reading, much like a philosopher.

There aren't many people willing to read useless books these days.

"My sister said that while men who are born with talent and family background are certainly superior, it is not shameful to come from humble origins. The ultimate romance for a man is to climb up step by step with strong willpower, which is the rarest quality in this desperate era."

"No wonder you like Yang Ding, it turns out you've been brainwashed by your sister."

"Hehe, my sister will probably like him too."

This was the first time Fang Jing had ever heard of an ordinary man from a humble background possessing such charm.

However, she didn't mock Ye Rou. After spending these days together, she had to admit that Yang Ding was indeed quite interesting.

When school was over, Yang Ding's system popped up a dialog box.

【Affection Level: 18%↑, +1%】

[Cultivation Progress: 18.6%↑, +1%]

[Cultivation Level: Second-Rank Lower Realm Martial Artist↑, Punching Strength 4222 jin↑, +222 jin.]

"What's going on? I haven't even told my wife the news yet, how come our affection level has suddenly increased?"

He planned to invite Mao Jian to eat at the Class A cafeteria, and then go find his wife afterward.

The reason he wanted to go to the Class A cafeteria was because it was an honor he had earned himself, and the Class A cafeteria was the highest-level student cafeteria at Gangneung University.

"Then I owe you three thousand yuan. I'm currently unemployed, and my mother needs to buy me cultivation ingredients. I can't afford to pay you back."

"It's okay. You can pay it back when you become successful, or if you don't, it's fine. Anyway, you won it all, and you can keep winning next week."

"Shouldn't you ask your wife?" Mao Jian asked in a low voice.

Why?

"Shouldn't your wife be the one making the decisions in your family?"

Yang Ding laughed and said, "You think I'm as weak as you, completely controlled by your mother and wife?"

"Wow, that's amazing! A woman like Instructor Ye, would she listen to you at home?"

At this moment, Yang Ding was a god in Mao Jian's heart.

Ye Rou appeared at the door right on time, smiling and calling out, "Husband."

"Wife!"

Yang Ding hurriedly walked out, and Ye Rou, ignoring the envy of the passing classmates, jumped directly onto him.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and her long legs around his waist.

"My husband is so amazing! He got first place in his class!"

Yang Ding was a little embarrassed. Being first in Class 2, Grade C was really nothing to brag about for Ye Rou.

His wife is clearly trying to provide him with emotional support.

"You're the instructor, I'm the student, so be more reserved."

"No way!"

As Ye Rou spoke, she gave Yang Ding a sweet kiss.

She has a straightforward and lively personality, and is fearless. Once she starts to care, she doesn't care about other people's strange looks.

"Let's go eat."

"Okay, don't let my baby go hungry."

Yang Ding took Ye Rou's hand and left, leaving Mao Jian behind with a completely bewildered expression.

"Um, are we still going to the Class A cafeteria?"

Yang Ding waved his hand, "Let's reschedule for tomorrow."

Huang Bingbing came out of the classroom, pushed aside Mao Jian who was blocking the door, and sneered, "How does it feel to be a lapdog for your brother?"

"That's still better than licking you, you little slut."

"Dare to curse me like that? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Yang Ding and Ye Rou went to the instructors' canteen, chatting and laughing, where Fang Jing was queuing up.

She pointed to a corner not far away, "The discipline director is angrily scolding that young man, isn't that Xiang Tianyou?"

Yang Ding glanced at it and said, "Yes, it's this guy. He's ruthless."

"Honey, you did a great job."

Ye Rou used her powerful hearing, which was at the mid-fifth rank, to eavesdrop on the headmaster's words.

"You can't even beat trash like Yang Ding who hasn't even awakened his full potential? What have you been doing all day?"

"Aunt, it was my carelessness. Besides, he's very strong, probably because Ye Rou has been spending a lot of money on him."

"Ye Rou isn't just spending money on him, she's spending her true energy on him. You still have three more testing opportunities. If you don't seize them, you'll become the one to be sacrificed."

"What do you mean?" Xiang Tianyou asked, puzzled.

"There are only twenty spots in Class C and Class D of the Enforcement Bureau, with six thousand people competing for them. You must become the strongest in your class and survive the upcoming monthly exam to have a chance to be promoted to Class B."

"Aunt, I am a legitimate Awakened One. Could you ask the counselor to recommend me as the team leader?"

Being the team leader allows others to be sent to their deaths, naturally increasing the survival rate.

"The school has no say in this matter. The cultivation resources and expenses for the expanded enrollment are all provided by the law enforcement bureau. You have to rely on your own abilities."

Ye Rou pressed her lips to Yang Ding's ear and told him what she had heard.

"It seems my victory this time has special significance."

"Yes, honey, you're amazing, but Xiang Tianyou will definitely retaliate next. Look, the discipline master has already given him high-grade cultivation ingredients."

"Don't worry, at most he'll break through to the lower-middle level, the gap isn't big, he can make up for it with swordsmanship."

Ye Rou pulled out her meal card, "I'm going to give my husband a lot of nourishing food too."

Fang Jing laughed and said, "Don't worry, although the discipline director's salary is a bit higher than ours, she has so many children and grandchildren that she can't even manage her own family, let alone make up for ours."

"us?"

"Of course, I also have a meal card. Anyone can spend money on in-game purchases." Fang Jing took it out and stuffed it into Yang Ding's pocket. "There's 100,000 yuan in it. You can eat whatever you want. You're my daughter's godfather and my brother-in-law. Consider this a token of my appreciation as an older sister."

Yang Ding could only sigh, "When looking for a wife, you still have to find one who is rich, beautiful, and capable."
