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

"An Li, I'll be waiting for you at the Dragon Tiger Academy!"

Chu Chen walked up to An Li, looking at her with a hint of expectation. The latter frowned slightly: "I may not go to the Dragon Tiger Academy."

"Then I'll be waiting for you in the capital!"

Chu Chen seemed to have already decided to apply to the Dragon Tiger Academy, but his overly familiar tone immediately made An Li frown: "I don't know you."

"If we're not familiar with each other, we can strengthen our connection. This is my communication symbol, write it down!" Chu Chen said, taking out his communication symbol.

An Li felt like she was about to collapse. I don't know you at all, okay?

"I don't have a communication talisman; my family is too poor to afford one!"

After finishing her sentence, An Li turned and walked to Shen Bai's side, tugging at his clothes. Shen Bai understood and made a finger-rubbing gesture for her. An Li's almond-shaped eyes widened. You actually want me to pay more?

Shen Bai smiled but didn't say anything. An Li could only nod helplessly, secretly annoyed. "Given our relationship, you actually brought up money with me. No wonder you're single!"

Seeing that An Li had agreed, Shen Bai greeted Chu Chen with a beaming smile: "Chief Chu, I heard you saved all the students who were trapped on the island in the lake. I reckon the higher-ups from both schools will reward you, right? Also, I heard the array's core was taken away. Did it fall into your hands too? I'm so envious! Could you show it to us and broaden our horizons?"

Chu Chen's handsome face immediately lost its smile, and he turned and left.

[Ding! A love rival has been detected with a jealousy level of 60. When the rival's jealousy level reaches 80, you can extract one of their abilities.]

[Ding! Jealousy from Chu Chen +20, current level 80!]

[Ding! Your rival Chu Chen's jealousy level has reached 80. You can extract one of his abilities.]

[Please choose one of the following three abilities from your rival, Chu Chen.]

[Ability 1: The Qi Refining Chapter of the Mysterious Origin Heart Sutra]

[Ability Two: Beginner-level Control of Wind and Rain]

[Ability Three: Yang Body]

[Note: The current rival's level is too far below the host's; this skill is temporarily unavailable after being obtained during the Qi Refining stage.]

……

Having seen Shen Bai near An Li three times in a row, Chu Chen realized that this guy, known as the school heartthrob at Jiangbei No. 1 High School, had an unusual relationship with An Li after he took the initiative to leave his contact information.

As for An Li, the school beauty of Jiangbei No. 1 High School, he had to admit that her appearance and temperament were in no way inferior to Ye Qianqian's. But more importantly, he sensed through a secret method that if An Li's physique were to be used in dual cultivation with him, it would definitely be of great help to his cultivation.

This is why he came to greet An Li time and time again. Unfortunately, he has always been a favored son of heaven, the top student of the capital's No. 1 High School. In the past, if he wanted to chat with a female classmate, he could just beckon her with his finger and she would fall head over heels for him. But now he has met a tough one. Even if he clumsily tried to grovel, he could not win An Li's favor. This made him resentful of Shen Bai, this eyesore.

Shen Bai was surprised to discover a new physique. No wonder this guy became the top student at the capital's No. 1 High School at only 18 years old, and his cultivation level broke through to the first level of Qi Refining. In that case, Ye Qianqian must also have a special physique.

System, select capability three.

[Ding! Detected that the host has extracted and fused three different physical constitutions, increasing the host's aptitude fourfold.]

Four times the qualifications!?

The combination of the three constitutions—the Fiery Yang Body, the Water-Departing Body, and the Dry Yang Body—along with the title's bonus, and fused with one's own inherent aptitude, unexpectedly brought such a delightful surprise!

Students from the capital city are indeed extraordinary.

With four times the aptitude, my cultivation speed will increase fourfold. It's estimated that the time it takes for me to reach the ninth level will be accelerated again. In that case, will I be able to reach the tenth level before the college entrance examination without taking the first-level breakthrough pill?

Shen Bai hesitated slightly, after all, selling the first-tier Breakthrough Pill would immediately net him 12,000 spirit stones. However, he quickly made up his mind: money could be earned again, and the sooner he entered the Innate Realm before going to the Dao Academy, the more he would benefit.

Ye Qianqian burst out laughing when she saw Shen Bai's mischievous expression.

She had long disliked Chu Chen, but since the two families had a history and their cultivation levels were similar, she had always wanted to find a winner. Now that she saw someone who could make Chu Chen suffer, she felt instantly satisfied.

"Let's be friends. I heard from Director Qi that we all owe you a favor this time!"

Ye Qianqian took out her communication talisman and took the initiative to add Shen Bai's number. Shen Bai immediately realized that Qi Sisi had told Ye Qianqian about Pan Li's matter.

"Don't worry, Director Qi is my aunt, no one else knows!" Seeing Shen Bai's wary expression, Ye Qianqian immediately understood the problem.

The organization is too mysterious and difficult to guard against. If people find out that Shen Bai helped capture two members of the organization, the consequences he will face will be unimaginable.

"And later, my aunt will give you a reward in private."

Ye Qianqian leaned closer to Shen Bai and whispered something.

[Ding! 310 new rivals detected, each with a jealousy level of 60. When a rival's jealousy level reaches 80, you can extract one of their abilities.]

[Ding! Jealousy from Chu Chen +10, current level 70!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Liu Che +10, current level 70!]

[Ding! Jealousy from Qian Kai +10, current level 70!]

……

Whether they were students in the capital or students at Jiangbei No. 1 High School, they were all paying attention to Ye Qianqian, the most beautiful girl in the capital. When they saw Ye Qianqian take out a communication talisman and add Shen Bai's number, they already had a bad feeling.

When everyone saw Ye Qianqian lean close to Shen Bai's ear and whisper something, countless young men's hearts shattered instantly!

Why?

An Li is like this, and so is Ye Qianqian!

Why are both of the school beauties infatuated with this poor boy who's only at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm?

Shen Bai then realized that he had actually triggered so much jealousy value. He was overjoyed. After exchanging for a first-tier breakthrough pill, his jealousy value was only 2. Now it had instantly increased by another 2, giving him a total of 4 jealousy value, which made him rich again.

Upon seeing the names Chu Chen, Liu Che, and Qian Kai, Shen Bai couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Sure enough, men are all heartless bastards, falling in love with every woman they see.

This is such a great opportunity, we absolutely can't miss it!

As he slowly added Ye Qianqian's number, he said in a low voice, "You know my family is very poor. Being targeted by an organization like this will definitely not end well. I don't care about myself; I'm just a worthless life. If I die, I die. But my poor little sister is only 12 years old..."

Ye Qianqian's heart clenched. This was the first time she had learned about Shen Bai's background, and it made the usually competitive Ye Qianqian feel unusually sentimental. She couldn't help but gently pat Shen Bai's shoulder and comfort him, "Don't worry, my aunt and the others will definitely keep this secret for you!"

[Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! ...]

The system notification sounds blared incessantly at that moment!

Shen Bai was overjoyed!

You made the right bet!

School beauty Ye, I love you!
