Absolute Focus, Curly Dog

As soon as the cultivation began, Li Xijun quickly entered a state of focused selflessness.

This is also thanks to the enlightenment achieved through spiritual cultivation.

He could sometimes achieve this level of concentration before, but it always took him some time to adjust and gradually become completely immersed in it.

Sometimes, when I'm in a bad mood or not feeling well, I can't achieve that state even after completing my cultivation.

However, the "Detailed Explanation of Refining the Spirit and the Method of Opening the Aperture" in the Opening Aperture Realm can help people enter a state of peace and tranquility and focus on themselves through incantations, hand seals and other methods, so that they can enter the ancestral aperture to sense their soul through the spirit of the method.

Li Xijun is able to maintain this state at any time, even with a permanent certificate.

As they practiced each move, time passed little by little.

The information in Li Xijun's field of vision was constantly emerging and updating.

[Your Martial Arts System - Physical Realm has been increased from 11% to 13%.]

[Your "Tiger Subduing Bone Refining Technique" level has improved from 91% to 94% of the beginner level.]

Your mastery of the "Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts" has increased from 97% to 98%.

The prompts from the attribute panel did not stop him; this state of intense focus continued until Zhou Yibai's voice came from outside the classroom.

"Ye, why are you standing outside the door?"

When Zhou Yibai arrived later, he found it strange that Ye Liuyun, like Zhang Haifeng, was standing outside the door, staring at the classroom through the glass window.

Ye Liuyun, who was suddenly called upon, maintained his classical gentlemanly demeanor. Although he was somewhat displeased, he still spoke gently:

"I saw some students in the classroom who were doing very well, so I didn't want to disturb them and just observed and learned from them outside the door for a while."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the martial arts classroom and went inside.

Looking at Li Xijun, who had exited the state and was beginning to wrap up his movements, he nodded slightly apologetically.

He had prepared extensively from a young age to comprehend the essence of things, putting in a lot of hard work in areas such as meditation, and even neglecting some basic cultivation methods.

Naturally, they were well aware of how rare it was for most people to be in such a focused and absorbed state as Li Xijun was.

He felt somewhat embarrassed for unintentionally disturbing the other person's good state.

Li Xijun, however, paid no attention to any of this. He simply wiped his sweat and then looked at the notification messages in his field of vision.

He was quite satisfied with the progress he had just made.

Although these are all small improvements of 1% or 2%, Li Xijun, who has accumulated millions of yuan in capital through short-term trading, is very clear about how terrifying it is to obtain stable upward returns every day.

Just as soil accumulates to form a mountain and water accumulates to form a deep pool, eventually, amazing results will be revealed.

Satisfied, he walked to the side and sat down to rest, sipping his energy drink.

Ye Liuyun, as always, stood at the very front, practicing the basic cultivation method of the "Flowing Water Overlapping Waves Technique".

This basic cultivation method is not as awe-inspiring and powerful as the "Azure Dragon Sky-Piercing Method" and the "Thunderous Prison Vine Method". Instead, it is derived from the idea that flowing water does not compete for the lead, but for the endless flow. It seems peaceful and natural, but in fact, there are undercurrents. During cultivation, the blood and qi in the body surge wave after wave, stimulating the flesh, blood and bones of the whole body.

The cultivation method is very suitable for Ye Liuyun's state of mind and habits.

Seeing this scene, Li Xijun suddenly remembered that this top student in the class was one of the few who had a calm expression when the "Ten Years to Cultivate People" training program was announced.

'This person is usually unassuming, acts with great method, and while his cultivation speed isn't particularly fast, he progresses steadily and naturally, step by step, without ever stopping.'

"Hmm, this guy kind of has the vibe of a novel protagonist."

Li Xijun relaxed her mind and let her thoughts wander freely.

"Beep!" The blood and qi detector at the entrance of the martial arts classroom was turned on, and the large screen in front of the classroom gradually lit up.

"Zhou Yibai, Qi and Blood Level: 6.1".

Zhou Yibai's name and rank appeared on the screen, and he walked in with a big smile on his face. When he saw Li Xijun, he couldn't hide his smugness.

"Hehe, I've been eating quite well this past week, taking Qi and Blood Tonics every day, and having meditation classes every night to help me recover. After another weekend of intensive practice at my cousin's house, I've finally improved my progress by 0.1."

Zhou Yibai had previously reached level 6 during the summer vacation of his second year of high school, around August 20th, but he didn't make much progress in the nearly ten days leading up to the start of the new semester.

Now, with a week's supply of Qi and Blood potions and hard training after the start of the semester, he finally managed to raise his Qi and Blood level by 0.1, and naturally couldn't help but show it off to Li Xijun.

Li Xijun responded with an "oh" and casually echoed the sentiment.

He made no mention of how he had increased his level by 0.2 in seven days and that he would break through to level 6 in Qi and Blood today.

At the same time, my relaxed mind drifted over to the following thoughts:

"I used to think Zhou Yibai's family background had that urban novel protagonist vibe, perfect for a story about a reborn immortal."

Compared to Ye Liuyun, that elegant and refined gentleman in the classroom, I feel a little out of place...

"By the way, Brother Li, my uncle said my martial arts talent has awakened, and I should be able to enter the elite class today. I'll treat you to a special meal on the second floor of the cafeteria at noon, and I'll introduce you to my cousin while I'm at it." Zhou Yibai patted his chest, displaying the generosity of "it's my treat."

"Such a protagonist's demeanor! This kind of generosity is definitely not the demeanor of a protagonist!"

Upon hearing that he could get the nutritional supplement package for free, Li Xijun changed his mind.

As the sun gradually rises higher,

The students who arrived early to train in the martial arts classroom saw the three who had been training for some time. On the surface, they smiled and greeted them, jokingly saying things like "You're here so early" and "You're working so hard." But in their hearts, they all cursed "You bastards!" and then resolutely focused on their training, starting to compete with each other.

This made Zhang Haifeng, who was in the classroom, very happy to see this scene. He felt that the class finally had a sense of urgency like that of the senior year.

It was past eleven o'clock when the time came.

Zhou Yibai, who had been telling many classmates about his awakened martial arts spirituality, was getting impatient and unable to continue his practice when the teacher who had been notified finally arrived late.

"Zhou Yibai, your martial arts talent has awakened. Go to the teaching office to register and prepare to go with the elite class teachers to the dedicated teaching building next door for the elite class."

After the teacher outside the door gave the notification, Zhou Yibai, who was originally impatient, felt a sense of relief after sensing the envious looks from those around him.

He quickly followed the other person to the Academic Affairs Office to register, but after registration, the Academic Affairs Director spoke up:

"The information has all been registered, but coincidentally, the location shooting instructors from various high schools that were assigned to us today are about to arrive at the station."

"Ms. Zhao, the teacher of the elite class, and the principal personally went to the station to pick them up, so they are not here right now."

"Are you going back to your classroom and waiting all afternoon, or are you going to contact a student in the elite class and ask them to swipe their student ID so they can let you in?"

Upon hearing that he could go back to his original class to show off, Zhou Yibai naturally ignored the second option.
