The next day, Cheng Yu hummed a song while walking to the school to take his exam. Why was he so happy? Because, Cheng Yu had finally gotten himself a girlfriend after reincarnating to this world. Even though it was just a kiss, at least he had gotten himself a formal girlfriend.
“Boss, why are you so happy today? Is it because you think you will score well for your exam?” When Fatty saw Cheng Yu had come into the classroom, he was definitely the first person Cheng Yu would see. Cheng Yu was pretty satisfied by Fatty’s performance so far as his first follower.
“Che! It’s only you who would be so concerned with this kind of test. Do you know that there are a lot more important things compared to scoring well on a test?”
“Money!” Fatty was startled for a moment before replying confidently.
“Vulgar! So vulgar! You might see money as invaluable, but I consider it as disposable,” Cheng Yu looked at Fatty with disdain.
“Boss, what do you consider more important to you?” Fatty asked curiously. Are there actually things that are more important than money in this world?
“Of course! Women,” Cheng Yu said as if it was something very natural.
Fatty was stunned. The boss was more vulgar than him! If he had money, wouldn’t women start coming to him? Fatty did not agree with Cheng Yu’s thought process as he still felt that money was the most important thing.
“Go. Our class monitor is about to get angry again,” When Cheng Yu saw the female class monitor was staring at him with an ugly expression, he gave a kick to Fatty and quickly walked to his seat.
“What were you chatting about with Fatty?” Lin Yuhan was very curious about what they were talking about every day.
“Fatty is my follower, so I have to give him guidance and hope that he would become a talent sooner.”
“Who would believe you?! Then explain to me why the class monitor shows that expression whenever the you two talk in front of her?”
“What’s so weird about it? Don’t women have a few days that they aren’t normal every month? And it’s quite evident that her menopause has come earlier by a few years. That’s all,” No matter what, Cheng Yu felt that he was just too dazzling. No matter where he went, he would always outshine others. It was evident that the monitor had been outshined by him. That’s why, Cheng Yu thought that he became an eyesore to her.
“You are the one who is not normal. I am too lazy to talk to you. There’s never anything true in what you speak.”
“Who said there is no truth in what I say? When I said I like you, I was definitely speaking the truth. Whoever dares to say that it’s a lie, I will curse him so that he will definitely not find a wife for his entire life.”
“Who wants your love? If you truly love me, why would you still chase girls outside every day?” When she heard Cheng Yu say he was fond of her, Lin Yuhan’s heart suddenly felt a strange kind of happiness. However, she didn’t show it. Otherwise, this shameless boy would definitely act arrogant again.
“When have you seen me chasing girls outside? I became very honest. Every day, studying with you in school is my greatest happiness,” Cheng Yu suddenly realized a problem. The females in this world were very different from the females in his previous world.
In this world, it was a norm for a couple to become husband and wife. The women here all have a very stringent and identical concept that their husband was not allowed to find another woman outside.
Haiz! An ancient Chinese saying explained that “when a woman was too capable, society would definitely fall into chaos.”[1] As the years go by, technology became more and more advanced. Why did it seem like the status of men kept on getting lower?
“Is that so? How come I wasn’t able to tell? I think you must be more than happy to not come to school. You will be able to chase after those little vixens every day instead,” Lin Yuhan harrumphed twice and said sarcastically.
What a shame! The girls he was flirting with were little vixens? Among those women he knew of, Lin Yuhan was the youngest. The one who was the little vixen should be her instead! Those other women were more likely to be old vixens!
“Xiao Hanhan, you have changed. You are no longer adorable as before. I still prefer the you who would easily blush,” Cheng Yu showed a heart broken expression as he replied with pain.
“Who…who blushes so easily? I have always been like this!” When they talked about blushing, Lin Yuhan unconsciously blushed. She recalled that there was a period of time where she would frequently blush in front of Cheng Yu. During that time, she wasn’t used to Cheng Yu’s teasing.
However, after she started to talk and joke with Cheng Yu more, she didn’t even realize that she was no longer as introverted as before.
“Hmph!” Cheng Yu did not say anything as he laughed and looked at Lin Yuhan. It caused Lin Yuhan to feel even more embarrassed as her face turned redder.

Today, the test during the morning was integrated arts and the afternoon was English. However, this subject no longer pressured Cheng Yu. So, after getting the test paper, Cheng Yu answered all the questions without any hesitation. Once again, Cheng Yu showed his nouveau riche appearance as he walked out of the classroom conceitedly.
Originally, he intended to go and find Han Xue today, as they had already established their relationship. As the boyfriend, he still had to go and receive some essential “benefits” from her.
However, today he was faced with something more important. After he went home and started cultivating, he found out that he had reached the bottleneck of initial stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Today would be the day he would use to charge into the middle stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
Cheng Yu had achieved immortality before. Now that he was just breaking through a small realm in the Foundation Establishment Realm, this should pale in comparison to what he had experienced. However, after staying in this world for so long, he felt that this world wasn’t that simple. Being a Foundation Establishment Realm expert could no longer bring him a sense of security.
Not to mention, the first obstacle he had to overcome was the secular Kunlun Sect. Although the most powerful expert they had was at the late stage Foundation Establishment Realm, it was not something he was able to compete against right now. That was why, every stage he broke through was like giving his life another assurance.
At 10 pm, Cheng Yu woke up from his meditation. He felt his zhenqi had grown thicker by a few times. When it came to facing the Kunlun Sect now, his confidence had increased by a bit. Even if he had to confront the late stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert, he was confident that he held chances of winning against them.
In cultivation, Cheng Yu might not be able to compete against them. But in terms of mystic arts, Cheng Yu’s knowledge was a lot stronger than these cultivators by numerous times.
Because of his low cultivation level, Cheng Yu was not able to display his immortal arts. However, if it were to be some high grade mystic arts, Cheng Yu was still able to display a couple. Although he wasn’t able to show their true might, the might of these weakened state high grade mystic arts were still very powerful.
That time, when he was battling Guan Shiyuan, the spiritual mirror technique he used was one of these essential moves. The spiritual mirror was formed using a large amount of spiritual Qi as it evolved into a mirror. This mirror was able to reflect the opponent’s move. As to how much it could reflect, it depended on the caster’s ability and thickness of spiritual Qi they had.
When Cheng Yu was still in the immortal world, he would be able to deflect all the spells that were less powerful than the immortal arts. Even if he were to meet an Immortal Monarch, Cheng Yu would not be able to kill him, but it would not be a problem for him if he wished to preserve his own life. Although these spells may seem simple, they were not something that could be displayed by anyone.
This kind of spell originated from the cultivation method Cheng Yu was cultivating, “The Mystic Arts of Derivation from Living Things.” According to the record of this cultivation method, as long as he comprehended the method to a certain extent, theoretically, he would be able to use his spiritual Qi to form shapes of living things and use them as his attack!
However, even if Cheng Yu reverted back to his previous cultivation, an Immortal Monarch, there was no way he would be able to revive all kinds of living things. Perhaps, he might be able to do it when he reached the Immortal Emperor realm. But who knows if he would truly be able to do it?
Previously when he was battling with Guan Shiyuan, he had showcased the profoundness of derivation from living things, as there was a gigantic fist and lion head. These were formed using spiritual Qi and the might was not weak. Even Guan Shiyuan who was a stage above Cheng Yu in cultivation was killed because of it. This was the best showcase for the might of the mystic arts.
Cheng Yu sat on his bed and waved his hand. A sword that was covered in a vague white light appeared in Cheng Yu’s hands. The sword light was evidently thicker than how it was before.
Cheng Yu retrieved his spiritual Qi. He shut his eyes and started to cultivate as he started to consolidate his foundation on his recent breakthrough.

Inside the discussion hall of the secular Kunlun Sect, a group of people were seated and were ready to deal with whatever orders were to be given to them. It was as if something big was going to happen.
“Elder Yun and Elder Feng, this time you guys descended from the mountain. Did you manage to find traces of Xuan’er and Elder Guan?” A middle-aged man seated on the patriarch seat stood up. He looked down at Elder Yun and Elder Feng as he spoke. This man was Sect Master Xuan Yang.
