Because the bodyguards were ex-soldiers in the Acquired Stage and were much more powerful than Chu Yunfan, he did not have to worry about hurting the other party.
But during this period, Chu Yunfan’s progress was obvious. Even these ex-soldiers were amazed. They were all experts in the Acquired Stage and had even served as guards to the leaders of the army. Their strength spoke for themselves.
The army was filled with geniuses, like carps that turned into dragons. The outstanding ones were not inferior to the top students of Federation University. However, it was rare to see someone like Chu Yunfan who had such an astonishing growth rate. On top of that, Chu Yunfan was their financial backer. Naturally, they did not dare to hide anything as they sparred with Chu Yunfan.
In terms of cultivation, it was hard to say how much they had taught Chu Yunfan. However, in terms of combat experience, these elites who had escaped the jaws of death were able to give Chu Yunfan a lot of guidance.
In this one month or so, Chu Yunfan had rushed from the third level of the Energy Refinement Stage to the peak of the fourth level of the Energy Refinement Stage. This was due to the guidance of these bodyguards.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan could vaguely sense their presence. They were hiding in places that ordinary people could not see but still allowed them to easily protect their target. Other than Chu Yunfan who had sharp senses, Tang Siyu and the rest could not detect the presence of these bodyguards.
Chu Yunfan could not help but sigh. They were indeed very professional bodyguards.
“Brother, I’ve cultivated the Holy Phoenix Art that you taught me and reached the fourth level of the Physical Stage. I’ve refined my technique.”
A figure came bounding over and ran to Chu Yunfan’s side, full of laughter.
It was none other than Chu Qingxuan.
During the past month, besides working on his cultivation, Chu Yunfan had also guided his younger sister in her cultivation. He had taught her the Holy Phoenix Art, which was a heaven-grade internal strength technique. It was once cultivated by an extremely powerful female expert from the Ancient Zenith Civilization.
Chu Qingxuan was extremely talented. After cultivating the Holy Phoenix Art, she had shortly broken through to the fourth level of the Physical Stage.
Apart from his younger sister, Chu Yunfan had also chosen a heaven-grade cultivation technique for his parents to cultivate. After all, although he could afford to hire these bodyguards, in the end, being strong was the safest. Moreover, the higher the level of one’s cultivation, the longer their lifespan would be. Chu Yunfan hoped that his parents could live a long and happy life.
His parents, who had cultivated for many years and had a strong foundation, had switched to heaven-grade cultivation techniques. In addition, Chu Yunfan had given them a lot of money so that they could buy pills and nutritional products.
In just a few months, they had reached the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage. It was only a matter of time before they broke through to the Acquired Stage. Of course, the two elders’ combat experience was weak. Their actual combat strength was lower than their cultivation levels. But even so, they were pleasantly surprised. They felt like they had regained their youth.
Now, other than going to work, the two elders spent most of their remaining time in cultivation, striving to break through to the Acquired Stage. In Chu Wencheng’s private words, there was nothing they could do for Chu Yunfan now. The only thing they could do for him was to take care of themselves and not give Chu Yunfan any trouble.
“There’s no hurry. The most important thing in the Holy Phoenix Art is to lay a good foundation. As long as your foundation is stable, your cultivation will get faster and faster in the future. Your future will then be limitless,” Chu Yunfan reminded.
“Don’t worry, I know. I’m just excited.” Chu Qingxuan nodded.
“Are you confident about the middle school exams? Do you think you’ll be able to enter No. 1 High?” Chu Yunfan asked.
The high school exams and the college entrance exams were held at the same time. They were both held once a year. But in comparison, the high school exams were not that eye-catching.
“Of course,” Chu Qingxuan said with a smile, “Although I’ve only just started cultivating, we’re only in junior high school. It isn’t a big problem. Right now, we’re focusing on both liberal and martial arts. Our main focus is on gaining knowledge.”
Chu Yunfan nodded. That was true. In junior high, the students’ focus would be on learning and increasing their knowledge. After all, they were not old enough yet. If they cultivated too fiercely, their bodies would not be able to handle it. During high school, the emphasis would be placed on both liberal and martial arts. After the third year of high school, they would be put into more focused classes.
“Brother, you’re now the number one high schooler of Calm Ocean City. Hehe, you haven’t seen Uncle and the others. They were all dumbfounded when they heard the news,” Chu Qingxuan said with a chuckle, “I want to learn from you. I too want to be the number one high schooler in the city.”
“You have still three years left. Study hard first. Besides, what’s the point of becoming number one? I want to become at least the number one in Donghua City!”
A figure appeared in Chu Yunfan’s mind at this moment—it was a terrifying existence that crushed all the students in Donghua City.
“Brother, you have to be careful during the college entrance exams. I heard that it’s very dangerous,” Chu Qingxuan said.
“Yes, I’ll be careful.”
As Chu Yunfan said that, he looked at the vast, open sky. The college entrance exams that he had been working so hard for were finally around the corner. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
No matter what, victory or defeat would be decided in this exam.
The exams arrived on schedule.
According to the exam process, the first part was the liberal arts exam. However, for liberal arts and martial arts students, the depth of the questions was different.
Next came the assessment of martial arts cultivation. The criteria for the martial arts students were naturally much stricter than the liberal arts students.
And this was the normal part of the exams. After these two parts were over, some universities would have their own assessment. For example, the ever-popular Federation University had its independent recruitment assessment.
Among all the assessments, Federation University’s admission assessment was the most eye-catching. According to the conventional rules, the first place in Federation University’s assessment was usually the top scholar of the year. On top of that, compared to the assessment of other universities, Federation University’s assessment was far more intense. It was on a different level from the other universities.
To Chu Yunfan, the first part of the exams was nothing. His performance in the liberal arts was great. He completed it very quickly and obtained excellent results.
According to the requirements of Federation University, even students of the martial arts class had to have excellent results in the liberal arts before they were qualified to apply. They were recruiting all-rounded people.
On this day, Chu Yunfan woke up early and rushed to Donghua No. 1 High School. Students who intended to participate in Federation University’s admission assessment had to gather here and then enter the real assessment site—the Kunlun Realm that countless people on Earth yearned for.
