CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 180: MASTER OF TIME MANAGEMENT (DOUBLE-LENGTH)

The gap in strength between the two sides is too significant.

"Still too weak," Jiang Ye slightly shook his head.

If his strength had already caught up with Chen Zilu, he wouldn’t have to worry about all this. They would both be the best sparring partners.

But now? The gap is too vast.

"No rush."

"Once I break through to the Second Break, I’ll be able to unlock the Fourth Layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "At that time, my talent and strength should have significant growth."

During this period, Jiang Ye tried to climb the Fourth Layer.

But without exception, he failed each time.

The difficulty of stepping onto the Fourth Layer was much greater than he imagined.

Jiang Ye estimated that only by reaching the Second Break level could he set foot on the Fourth Layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

"From the First Break to the Second Break."

Jiang Ye’s heart was full of expectation: "The Fourth Layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, I hope it brings surprises."

...

After thinking it through, Jiang Ye regained his composure and began planning his cultivation schedule.

"From here on, I must train diligently."

"I aim to push my life level to the Second Break within two months," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "Aside from the essential Star Sky Refinement every month, cultivation resources are indispensable."

"For instance, the Starry Sky Marrow Cleansing Fruit."

The Starry Sky Marrow Cleansing Fruit, used to propel the transformation of life level, is one of the necessary cultivation resources besides the Star Sky Refinement!

Jiang Ye opened his phone and looked at the school’s exchange page.

[Profound Tier Lower Grade Starry Sky Marrow Cleansing Fruit: 10,000 points/100g]

[Profound Tier Middle Grade Starry Sky Marrow Cleansing Fruit: 30,000 points/100g]

[Profound Tier Upper Grade Starry Sky Marrow Cleansing Fruit: 100,000 points/100g]

"It’s expensive," Jiang Ye shook his head.

Luckily, Zhao Qingli’s prices offer an additional 10-20% discount.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye immediately called Zhao Qingli.

"Doo...doo..."

The call connected.

"Huh~" A young girl wearing a colorful long dress, with fair skin and long, straight legs, appeared.

"Jiang Ye." Although the girl looked aloof, a faint smile appeared on her delicate face upon seeing Jiang Ye.

"Class monitor," Jiang Ye smiled, "I’m here to make a purchase from you."

"So soon?"

Zhao Qingli was a bit surprised; just a few days ago, Jiang Ye had reached out to her.

"Sigh, I’ve been training intensely lately and need to replenish," Jiang Ye sighed and shook his head.

"Be careful," Zhao Qingli frowned at his words, "Don’t overdo it."

"Don’t worry, I know my limits."

Jiang Ye waved his hand, "Class monitor, I’ll take five million worth of Profound Tier Lower Grade Starry Sky Marrow Cleansing Fruit."

"You..."

Zhao Qingli gave him a speechless look; he had just claimed to know his limits, and the next moment he was spending five million.

That’s not how you’re supposed to spend money, is it?

He’s even more extravagant than I am now!

"Alright," Zhao Qingli nodded, "I’ll get it to you tomorrow."

"Is there anything else?" she asked Jiang Ye.

"No," Jiang Ye shook his head.

"Oh." A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhao Qingli’s eyes.

Suddenly.

"Wait, there’s one more thing," Jiang Ye suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Zhao Qingli lifted her head to look at him.

"I’ll also take five million worth of the Profound Tier Middle Grade Martial Ginseng," Jiang Ye added.

"Got it," the girl pouted her lips.

"What was I expecting?" Zhao Qingli wondered to herself, "Every time this guy comes to me, it’s only to make a purchase!"

"So many times, and still such a slow learner."

Zhao Qingli frustratingly patted her own chest, ready to end the communication.

"Hold on!"

Suddenly, Jiang Ye spoke again.

Zhao Qingli turned back to look at him, "What else do you want to buy?"

"Buy some dinner time," Jiang Ye smiled, "Is that okay?"

"...What do you mean?" The girl’s expression froze.

"I mentioned before that I’d treat you to a meal, but I haven’t been able to make it happen," Jiang Ye smiled, "Do you have some time?"

"I..." Zhao Qingli’s fair cheeks blushed crimson like a fiery sunset.

"Let me think about it first and I’ll get back to you," she said quickly, her image hastily vanishing.

Jiang Ye watched as her image disappeared.

Only moments later.

"Buzz buzz!" A message came through on his phone.

It was a reply from Zhao Qingli.

When Jiang Ye looked at his phone, unsurprisingly, she’d agreed.

"First, treat the class monitor," Jiang Ye planned inwardly, "then go have a meal with my senior sister."

Or, should I just invite both the class monitor and my senior sister together?

The idea merely flickered in Jiang Ye’s mind before he sensed a wave of danger and quickly shook his head.

Can’t save that time, must keep them separate!

"Hmm, there’s also Yun Qing’Er," Jiang Ye thought for a moment, "I need to thank her properly someday too."

She had helped him several times.

Jiang Ye had always been grateful and disliking owing favors.

Unrestrained in martial arts, this was Jiang Ye’s principle; he felt uneasy if anything was left unsettled.

"However, adding Yun Qing’Er will make time even more pressing."

"Time management truly is a learned skill," Jiang Ye mused inwardly.

...

Time flew by like a shuttle, day after day.

Jiang Ye’s life returned to its tranquil state once again.

Apart from the day he went out to eat, his life remained as usual, persistently cultivating.

Even on the day of the meal, Jiang Ye gained something from it.

While with Chen Zilu, Jiang Ye learned about her preferences from his senior sister.

"Senior sister likes studying ancient things?" Jiang Ye was somewhat surprised.

But soon he felt at ease.

For someone like Chen Zilu, a noble family’s young lady, who lacked nothing financially, having such interests was quite normal.

Knowing Chen Zilu’s preference, Jiang Ye immediately looked forward to the upcoming White Dragon advanced training.

After this day, he returned to his primary focus on cultivation.

Every day, starting at six in the morning, he practiced the Great Sun Spear Technique and Nine Luminaries Star Stepping.

Each night, he faced various challenges on the first to the third layers of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

Each month, he underwent a Primordial level Star Sky Refinement.

Constantly repeating these routines.

Time passed by swiftly.

In a blink of an eye, nearly two months had gone by.
