Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Back home, Shen Bai calculated the costs.

A Desert Eagle, not counting your own labor, costs about 100 spirit stones for materials alone, and about 30 spirit stones for 100 bullets.

Guns and bullets aren't particularly expensive; the cost is in their use.

Going all in on a magazine requires one spirit stone.

Even a single outburst requires a spirit stone.

It's fair to say that this Desert Eagle exudes a penguin-like aura, inside and out.

Money-grubbing!

With a mature template in hand, Shen Bai prepared to make one for Shen Wenwen as well.

A violent loli paired with a violent Desert Eagle—a perfect match!

Shen Bai didn't believe that the Enforcement Hall could control that young lady, nor did he believe that Bai's Pharmaceuticals could take down his competitors.

Never place your hopes on others.

……

Over the next few days, Shen Bai resumed his normal studies and life, following a routine between school, the milk tea shop, and An Li's house.

There was no further news about Pan Li, nor was there any news of him being captured, so Shen Bai knew very well that the other party must have escaped.

With an ample supply of spirit beast meat, Shen Bai stopped being stingy and bought spirit rice and spirit vegetables. The cultivation speed of the brother and sister was like a rocket.

Originally, Shen Bai's talent was only average, but now that his aptitude has doubled, his cultivation speed has also doubled. With sufficient resources and nutrition, he has finally begun to show his talent.

The Eighth Heaven Refining Acupoints requires opening up all 365 acupoints in the body in preparation for breaking through to the Innate Realm.

In just one week, Shen Bai had already broken through 40 acupoints on the Triple Energizer Meridian.

At this rate, Shen Bai only needs two months to reach the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm. With more than six months until the college entrance examination, if Shen Bai can make a final push to reach the ninth level in the remaining four months, and then take the first-level breakthrough pill, he is very likely to make a run for the Holy Academy!

This result even excited the usually calm Shen Bai!

Previously, he could only attend local Taoist academies at most. Since the system awakened, his future has changed repeatedly. Now, he actually has the opportunity to touch two great holy academies, which was something he could hardly have imagined before.

Shen Wen was even more ferocious. With ample nutrition, her cultivation speed was extremely fast. According to her own estimate, it would only take her two months at most to reach the third level of cultivation!

This speed of advancement is fully worthy of the title "Holy Academy Dao Seed"!

Unfortunately, I never obtained the legendary "Concealment Technique" or "Breath Concealment Technique," otherwise I could have played dumb to outmaneuver the enemy.

……

The day before the exchange group arrived, Yang Xiao organized the whole class to go to the playground to participate in the selection of the exchange group. Being able to compete with the genius students from the capital made these young calves eager and excited.

The selection process for the martial arts exam was very quick. First, students whose cultivation level did not reach the eighth level were not qualified to participate, and those who did not have two martial arts skills at the perfect level were also disqualified.

This eliminated over 90% of the students.

Yang Xiao brought everyone here to see more of the gap between themselves and top students.

If they can't even compare to top students, let alone the genius students in the capital.

Not only senior high school students, but also first and second year high school students were brought to the stands by their teachers to watch and learn.

Shen Bai sat listlessly on the bleachers of the playground. After experiencing two life-or-death battles, the fights of the students below seemed like child's play to him.

Seeing Shen Bai sitting in the stands, An Li naturally walked over and sat down next to him: "Why aren't you participating?"

"My cultivation level is so low, even if I were selected, I'd only be making a fool of myself!"

Shen Bai shrugged: "Unlike you, you didn't even need to compete, you were selected directly!"

An Li shook her head and said, "I feel that you are more powerful than the students below. So what if your cultivation is a little weaker? Now you are my sparring partner, and I have to use all my strength to deal with you! Moreover, your stamina is too good. You can always fight for a full hour."

"Am I not good at lasting?"

An Li's earnest face immediately flushed red: "Why do your words sound so different?"

The two practiced martial arts together every day and became very familiar with each other. They also became much closer and more casual in their conversations. However, when this scene was seen by the students on the playground, it caused an uproar almost instantly.

"Are the school beauty and the school hunk really dating? I heard that An Li gave Shen Bai clothes a while ago, and these past few days, they've been hanging out together during breaks!"

"No way? Shen Bai is already a magnet for women, and now he's even won over the school beauty. Is there not a single man at Jiangbei No. 1 High School who can keep this pretty boy in check?"

"If you can do it, then you do it; if you can't, then shut up!"

……

[Ding! 620 rivals for An Li's affections detected, with a jealousy level of 60. When the rivals' jealousy level...]

[Ding! Jealousy from Qian Kai +8, current level 78!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Shapu +5, current level 78!]

[Ding! Hu Chang's jealousy level increased by 3, currently at 78!]

……

Seeing Qian Kai's persistent jealousy of him, Shen Bai was overjoyed.

Shen Bai suddenly sat up straight, reached into his school uniform and groped around until he pulled out a small bag of spicy strips.

This was bought when I accompanied Shen Wenwen to the amusement park. There were a few small packets left over, and Shen Bai casually put them in his school uniform. He forgot to give them to Shen Wenwen these past few days.

Shen Bai tore open the packaging and handed the spicy strips to An Li. An Li, who was watching her classmates' martial arts competition, blushed instantly. She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and took a bite.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Feeding them in front of so many people, are they just throwing dog food at each other?"

"How infuriating! When did that bastard manage to get his hands on it? I haven't received a single clue!"

"I'm going to kill him! Kill him!"

……

The male students in the audience, who had been distracted, suddenly became restless, and those who hadn't noticed before turned to look.

The male students who had a crush on the school beauty were instantly enraged!

[Ding! Jealousy from Qian Kai +10, current level 88!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Shapu +10, current level 88!]

[Ding! Hu Chang's jealousy level increased by 10, currently at 88!]

[Ding! 60 rivals' jealousy levels have reached 80. You can draw one of their abilities.]

Please select 60 abilities from the following list.

[Skill 1: Basic Alchemy Experience]

[Skill 2: Basic Calligraphy]

[Skill 3: Basic Sketching]

[Ability Four: Minor Mastery of Vajra Finger]

[Ability 5: Mastery-level Iron Sand Palm]

……

Shen Bai was stunned when he saw the dense array of notifications in front of him!

I just took out a bag of spicy strips, what's wrong with you guys?

That's it?

Isn't it too fragile to withstand the test?

Qian Kai was also devastated. This bastard flirted with Bai Qingqing, the class beauty, in class, and with An Li, the school beauty, outside. He's taken all the good girls for himself. How are we supposed to live?

He went straight down to the stands, looked up at the couple eating spicy snacks, and shouted, "Shen Bai, come down! I challenge you!"
