Jiang Xiu was a cultivation madman and possessed an uncanny interest towards cultivation. Just like how his dormmates liked to play games, he'd feel unwell if he missed a single day of cultivation.
Moreover, the newly obtained spectral energy could raise his cultivation.
He spread out his hand and then the pearl floated into the air while emitting a faint desolate light. Jiang Xiu closed his eyes and began to use a secret skill to absorb the energy inside the pearl.
"Awakening Stage's 1st Mythical Realm is too weak. Controlling thunder just once exhausted all the energy. Even a thunder art couldn't be executed completely and had to be thrown out instead."
The spectral energy was very pure. The ghost claimed that it was protecting the True Monarch Temple for the True Monarch, but it looked like the chances of that were minimal. If it happened to be the truth, then he'd be considered as the ghost servant of the True Monarch. There was no reason that he'd get sealed as ghost servants matured quite slowly and almost don't make any progress in the case they are sealed.
Whizzz!
The Qi and Blood within Jiang Xiu's body billowed, making his body emit a scarlet light. The nerves on his body kept pulsing, his bones turned as hard as iron as the bloodline revealed itself. His bloodline composition had already taken a different path from humanity and changed into something similar to that of an ancient mythical beast.historical
"Arrrgghhhh!"
Jiang Xiu let out a pained yet excited voice. His eyes had turned entirely black, and blood flowed from the corners, giving him an inexplicable malevolent look.
The most distinctive change was that another Divine Regalia had appeared on his arm.
Jiang Xiu didn't know what kind of Godhead he possessed. During the Awakening stage, multiple Divine Regalia would appear and the more they emerged, the stronger one was. And when a complete Divine Regalia Pattern forms, it'd give birth to a unique skill belonging to that Divinity. He really looked forward to it as the Divinities possessed various skills, and magic couldn't even compare to those.
Before he realized it, it was already bright outside.
Jiang Xiu stopped cultivating and entered the bathroom to take a shower to cool off his flaring blood. He looked at his appearance in the mirror, it had changed once again. His facial features had become firmer. What's the difference you ask? Before it was Jiang Xiu pre-PS version and now, it's Jiang Xiu post-PS version. The most distinctive change was his height, it had increased by 2-3 cms again and made him look taller.

During lunchtime, whether it was fate playing a trick or not, he had run into Cheng Lingsu, Ouyang Qian, Li Dan and the rest of the girls at the dining hall. They felt astonished after looking at Jiang Xiu appear in school in perfect condition. Ouyang Qian said, "Why didn't the four young masters teach him a lesson?"
They were just talking about how miserably Jiang Xiu would've suffered.
Li Dan couldn't comprehend it. "Right. He beat up the four young masters, it wouldn't make sense that they let him go."
Cheng Lingsu remained silent. She had returned back home with Sun Xiaohong yesterday. The first thing Sun Xiaohong had done when she reached home was to make a call to Lin Yueling and requested to remove the engagement, but Lin Yueling didn't agree. The two of them quarreled over it on the phone. She also didn't take the agreement out as it looked like this matter wasn't so easy to handle. After all, the intentions of the Jiang family's elders were different. This made her feel jittery.
She blurted out, "Maybe the four young masters were frightened due to the supernatural event yesterday."
Ouyang Qian nodded, "This brat really got off lightly then. However, they won't forget this debt. When they realize it, they'd surely come to lesson Jiang Xiu."
Apparently, she felt very unreconciled.
At this moment, Ye Wenchen had also arrived. Their group had gathered all the beautiful girls of Second High. Ye Wenchen furrowed his brows when he saw Jiang Xiu at a distance.
"Young Master Ye, this brat looks fine!"
"Really strange."
Ouyang Qian said, "Otherwise, why don't you remind Young Master Bai about it? Even his teeth were broken, so there's no way he'd forget this matter."
Ye Wenchen nodded.
However, in the following days, Jiang Xiu lived out his days in school leisurely. Young Master Bai never came to find Jiang Xiu so Ouyang Qian and the rest couldn't endure it anymore. "Young Master Ye, why hasn't Young Master Bai taken any action?"
Ye Wenchen was also puzzled, "I've already mentioned it to Young Master Bai once. He just said 'Okay.'"
Sunday afternoon, Lin Yueling called Jiang Xiu's cell phone and asked him to return home. After reaching this timeline, he hadn't visited home even once. He missed them very much.
Jiang Xiu's home was located at a suburban district in Jiang City, it was a region called as the Cloudlake Village. In those days, Jiang Xiu's home lacked everything so they couldn't live in the city area and had to settle down in Cloudlake Village. Development occurred quite fast in this era, after almost a decade, the original Cloudlake Village had transformed into Cloudlake District. Its current appearance was far from its former rustic appearance and possessed an urban style.
However, it had after all transformed from a village, so there were many old streets. Jiang Xiu's family was lucky that they didn't have to relocate. Their entire family lived in the old street, but the influx of customers was quite stable there.
As he got down the bus and set foot on this old street, many scenes from the past flashed through his mind. He felt homesick.
At a distance, he could see his home's fruit stall.
It was tiny, only 4-5 square ft and some fruits were even arranged on the outside. A woman was conversing with his mother. Jiang Xiu remembered this woman, she was the owner of the fruit stall. It was a nightmare to Jiang Xiu because the atmosphere at home would become quite depressing whenever she appeared. His father would hide on the balcony and remain silent while his mother would do housework silently, all because of rent.
"Yueling, I know your family has it hard, but the circumstances have changed now. Rent of 800 RMB is too less. Just take a look at this street, no one rents out for such a low price."
Lin Yueling was 40-years-old, but her facial features were quite graceful. It's just that wrinkles had appeared on her face. Though she was a pretty woman, she could only endure this miserable fate. Only, even if fate tormented her, her temperament wasn't something this marketplace woman could compare with. It's just that her face was filled with the colors of agony, "Sister A'Lin, you know that it's hard to do business these days. My son has to take the college entrance exam soon."
"It's tough to support home like this. Can't you leave it like that for a year and raise the rent next year?"
Sister A'Lin's eyes opened wide, "Raise it next year? Are you kidding me? The amount I lose each month is 200, that's almost over 2000 over a year."
"Sister A'Lin.."
Sister A'Lin interrupted her, "Whose home doesn't have it hard? I'm doing business here, not charity. If you think that the rent here is expensive, then go to the street's corner. It's cheaper over there, just 500 for a month."
Fruit stalls relied on the influx of people, and the corner of the street didn't have that. Moreover, the Jiang family was barely making ends meet with this fruit stall so they wouldn't dare to change the spot. Otherwise, they'd end up in dire straits if the business doesn't go well.
Lin Yueling said, "Sister A'Lin, I request you. Just for a year, my child has to study.."
"That's enough! As far as I see, your son doesn't have any prospects. I hear he's last even in school and you think he'll change his fate after entering university? I advise you to rather save this money."
"Mother!"
A voice suddenly came through from behind. Lin Yueling turned back to look, it was none other than Jiang Xiu.
