Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

On the way to the canteen, White Wolf casually asked, "So what are these people from the South Seas doing here?"

"They are novice monks, the same as us. You can tell from their clothes that the Southeast Asian region is divided into the local witchcraft faction and the foreign Thorn faction, each with different traditions. The two sides have always been at odds."

Cen Feiyu stood with his hands in his pockets, taking ruthless steps.

"so?"

"Holding a martial arts exam in Southeast Asia is like putting a powder keg in a microwave oven—it's extremely dangerous. Adding some water makes it much safer."

"Tsk, shifting the blame eastward, huh?" White Wolf understood a little.

"Now we have a united government, and the whole Earth is one family." Cen Feiyu frowned. "Our side is stronger, so it's no big deal for us to lend a hand."

He glanced at the white wolf: "The official examiners and candidates will arrive in a few days. Don't ignite this powder keg."

"No, no, it's not that bad." White Wolf chuckled and casually asked, "Can't we really have spicy blood curd for lunch?"

"You've awakened a superpower?" Cen Feiyu recalled the last question from class.

"That's right! Eating blood will make you stronger!" the white wolf said confidently.

"Let me ask for you." Cen Feiyu took out her phone and started pressing buttons.

The canteen is not far from the classroom.

It doesn't look particularly remarkable from the outside.

But once you step inside, everything changes.

The walls and floor reflected a bright yellow light.

The temperature is perfectly controlled within the most suitable range, which greatly increases one's appetite.

Classical music and fragrances wafted in from all around, seemingly faintly.

Although many cultivators came to the dining hall, the order was well maintained.

Cen Feiyu led the white wolf directly to the corner.

There, Fang Chi and Deng Yi, the canteen worker, were chatting while leaning against the food serving area.

Only when the white wolf approached did Fang Chi lower his voice: "I heard you awakened the ability to drink blood?"

"Mmm!" the white wolf nodded.

"Is it related to that vampire? You've made a pact with an alien?" Fang Chi stared at the white wolf, his expression very serious.

"No, I didn't think that much at the time. This was something I awakened later." The white wolf's eyes were calm and his mind was clear, very frank.

Fang Chi looked up and saw Cen Feiyu nodding behind him.

Although he can't completely read minds, Cen Feiyu's ability is perfectly capable of detecting lies.

So Fang Chi was relieved.

But he still glanced around and added in a low voice, "I know young people like to hide things, but this ability is a bit sensitive. Let me help you prepare a report first. Remember, it's something you discovered and brought up yourself."

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Fang!" White Wolf replied obediently.

"You really haven't been colluding with any aliens, have you?" Fang Chi tapped on his phone for a while, then looked up to confirm.

"Absolutely not! Unless you give the order, I will kill any alien I see!" White Wolf declared confidently.

"Okay, that's good!" Fang Chi pressed the send button and then stuffed the phone into his pocket.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Deng Yi picked up a bowl of soup and handed it over: "I really can't get the spicy blood curd. But I borrowed a bowl of wolfberry and pig's blood soup from the Cantonese chef, you can try it first."

The white wolf took the soup, didn't look at it closely, picked up the spoon and scooped out a large spoonful of blood clots, stuffing it into his mouth.

In just a moment, he sensed the difference.

The blood clots melted instantly in my mouth, as if they hadn't even passed through my throat before falling into my stomach.

Then, it turned into gas and dispersed, flowing to all parts of the body.

A warm feeling rose up, like the comfort of basking in the sun on the grass after a hearty meal in winter.

At the same moment, all sorts of information about this piece of pig's blood rushed into my head.

The information was disorganized, like observing a pig from a perspective never before considered.

White Wolf shook his head, ignoring it completely, and then saw a notification pop up on the panel.

You consumed pig's blood.

Based on the quality and quantity of pig's blood

[Your constitution has increased by 1 point, the effect lasts for 2 minutes.]

"How is it?" The three of them stared intently.

The white wolf quickly shoveled the entire bowl into his mouth before patting his chest.

"This bowl can improve my physical condition by 50%, and the duration is... well, about seven minutes."

Deng Yi took notes from the side.

"Is pig's blood a factor in your constitution?" Fang Chi tapped the table thoughtfully. "I'll get you something more potent sometime. But that kind will probably need to be tested in a lab, so don't feel pressured."

"Don't worry, I'm prepared."

White Wolf knew he was the test subject, and this was something that was hard to avoid.

But only by having the Cultivator Administration Bureau as a backer can one obtain all sorts of blood.

Who knows, we might even be able to get our hands on some outcasts!

Soon, everyone resumed their normal meal.

Although the dishes are primarily nutritious, they are still very delicious.

White Wolf kept eating with his chopsticks, wolfing down four bowls of rice before getting a fifth.

Looking at him, and remembering what Cen Feiyu had mentioned, Fang Chi felt a sudden pang of tenderness: "Little Wolf! Are you taking a lunch break? If you're free, how about Uncle takes you shopping and we can buy some daily necessities?"

"I want to cultivate!" the white wolf instinctively refused.

A prompt appeared on the system panel:

[Resisting the temptation of free material benefits for the sake of martial arts]

[Gain temporary buff: Increases the effectiveness of the "Water and Wood Cloud Yang Skill" by 2000% for 24 hours]

Fang Chi sighed, "That's true, strength is fundamental. Go back and cultivate! I'll decide what to buy."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle!"

Seeing the three of them remain unmoved, White Wolf felt conflicted.

That's how it was in class back then. After I refused a few times, everyone got used to it and would just tacitly exclude me from playing, which caused my temporary buffs to always be interrupted.

It seems I still need to control myself a bit; at least I should participate in more activities beforehand.

With a sigh, Bai Lang followed Cen Feiyu back to the dormitory.

Then I enjoyed a great workout all afternoon.

……

The afternoon session at 2 PM is a basic practical course.

Perhaps considering that everyone was too angry in the morning, when White Wolf arrived at the training classroom in the afternoon, he only saw people from the East District.

Cen Feiyu should have received the news long ago.

He gestured forward with his chin, seemingly unfazed: "Let me introduce myself to everyone!"

The white wolf curiously scanned everyone.

It must be said that Deng Yi, the cafeteria worker, was not lying.

There are about ten students in a class, and pretty girls make up at least a third of them.

Moreover, everyone is quite young. It seems that they are either like me, who were brought into the Cultivator Management Bureau by chance, or they are from the legendary martial arts families.

The other trainees were also observing the white wolf.

The boys still remembered that it was in the morning that White Wolf led the charge against the people from the Nanyang District, and they all had gentle smiles on their faces.

But the girls kept whispering, talking quietly, and laughing loudly.

Gradually, the boys' gazes began to turn unfriendly.

White Wolf sighed.

He has gotten used to this kind of life.

But it's nothing, we're all colleagues at the Cultivation Management Bureau, surely no one is that naive...

"What's the use of a man being handsome? In this day and age, being able to fight is what matters!"

A fat man stepped forward.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute and casually greeted the white wolf: "Lu Kui, family heirloom of the 'Thick Earth Carries Virtue' skill, ranked fourth in martial arts among the Yichou class."

"I challenge you to a duel."

As if afraid that White Wolf wouldn't understand, he specifically explained, "According to the ranking rules, you have to fight your way up from the very bottom to be qualified to face me! Consider it an advantage for you today!"

"Can!"

Before the girls could stop him, White Wolf readily agreed.

Although he didn't know what the ranking system was for, he was always passionate about battles.

After agreeing, he looked at the bright and beautiful girls in his class.

"Don't worry, everyone has a chance. I'll call them one by one!"
