"Ah!"

After Ye Zihang grabbed his left shoulder and gasped, he stared at Ji Jiayu with bloodshot eyes. After waiting for the pain to subside, he immediately lost his composure and rushed towards Ji Jiayu.

This time, Ye Zihang no longer lunged, but waved his fists, his light flashing, setting off a whistling wind every time. However, the seemingly fierce fists landed on Ji Jiayu like a sponge hitting water, and Ji Jiayu didn't even feel the slightest pain, like a mosquito bite.

Not only that, after the first few punches, Ji Jiayu began to dodge.

As a result, all of Ye Hang's punches went blank.

In Ji Jiayu's eyes, Ye Hang's movements seemed to be in slow motion, and his speed was incredibly slow.

"Why are you so weak?" Looking at Ye Zihang in front of him, Ji Jiayu was extremely confused.

He was utterly confused. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Ye Hang was about to complete his divine power cycle and enter the second level of the Ming Spirit realm, while he himself was still far away.

On the surface, the gap between the two was very obvious.

But now it seemed that this gap did exist, not because there was a gap between Ji Jiayu and Ye Zihang, but because there was a gap between Ye Hang and Ji Jiayu. The two were vastly different.

However, as if he hadn't heard Ji Jiayu's words, Ye Zihang smashed his fists towards Ji Jiayu even more uncontrollably.

The sound of flesh and blood colliding and the sound of footsteps awakened everyone cultivating in the dormitory on the second floor, and they ran down to the basement to check on the situation.

When they saw Ye Zihang punching and kicking Ji Jiayu like crazy, even using his teeth, they couldn't help but be shocked.

They all knew that Ye Zihang was the most powerful cultivator among them, but why was he so weak in a fight? It shouldn't be like this. Below the third rank of the Ming Spirit Realm, shouldn't it be whoever possessed the most divine power and whoever was stronger be the strongest?

Just as they were confused, Ji Jiayu, who had been defending, suddenly extended his hand and gently pushed forward.

They saw that the moment his hand touched Ye Hang's chest, Ye Hang's massive body suddenly flew out like a cannonball and crashed into the wall. With a bang, the entire building seemed to sway back and forth, and after two seconds, Ye Zihang's body slowly slid down the wall.

Ji Jiayu hadn't expected his strength to be so great, and Ye Zihang to be so weak. After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Ji Jiayu took three steps and two steps, quickly ran to Ye Zihang's side, helped him up, and said, "Are you okay?"

Ye Zihang had been in a daze, but when he saw Ji Jiayu bending over, his pupils immediately contracted, and he couldn't help but gasp for breath. "You... Don't come here!"

He was terrified.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay," Ji Jiayu said.

"No need to confirm, I'm fine!" A powerful force also appeared out of nowhere in Ye Hang's body, supporting him to his feet. Then, to prove he was fine, he turned around twice, saying, "I'm fine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his legs gave out, and he nearly fell to the ground again. Ji Jiayu was speechless. Was he that terrifying?

Seeing this scene, everyone's mouths opened wide in shock, and their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Ji Jiayu.

Ding Lu was even more shocked. When he saw Ji Jiayu, he wanted to shout in his heart, "You're so strong, why do you need my help!"

At the same time, in the leftmost room on the third floor, the five observers were silent for a long time.

"What just happened? Do you understand?"

"Why is Ji Jiayu's strength so great?"

"His defense is also extraordinary. Ye Zihang's fist hitting him was like tickling him."

"The divine power he absorbed is far from inferior to Ye Yehang's in quantity, and he didn't use any technical tactics, which is against common sense."

Xie Ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have a guess—isn't Ji Jiayu a dual saint emblem? If he's a dual saint cultivator, then his strength and the loss of divine power can be explained."

"This is impossible. Sister Miaoyi told me that his two saint emblems are deeply entangled, and unless Ming Shen makes a move, it's impossible to untie the entangled saint emblems with his own abilities."

"Your idea is too bizarre."

"If he..." Xie Ting wanted to say something but was interrupted.

"I think he's a little stronger in nature. Don't think too much about it. Don't you know when the people of Shengyao Sect will come to test him in a few days? Let's just observe and not interfere."

Xie Ting opened her mouth but stopped talking. In fact, she also felt that her idea was a bit out of line. After all, Ji Jiayu was only a human.

While the five bystanders were talking, He Yi also came to the basement and saw Ye Zihang beside Ji Jiayu, his expression calm.

Ye Zihang saw He Yi as if he had seen a savior. His body softened, and he sat down on the ground. Seeing this, Ji Jiayu hurriedly shouted, "Grandma He, come and see if he's okay!" She had actually pushed lightly just now, but she hadn't expected Ye Zihang to be so weak and unstoppable.

Ding Lu, who was standing on the sidelines, was also very nervous. Although he hadn't done anything, he was one of the protagonists of this dispute.

"It's okay, I was just scared."

He Yi walked over to Ji Jiayu and Ye Zihang, bent down, glanced at Ye Zihang, and then withdrew her gaze. After He Yi's words fell, Ye Zihang's expression was a little ugly. He wanted to prove that he wasn't scared, but he couldn't stand up.

He Yi turned to look at the bystanders and said, "Go back and meditate."

When everyone heard this, they seemed to be forgiven, and before leaving, they glanced at Ji Jiayu.

"You three come to the office with me." When everyone had left, He Yi looked at the anxious Ding Lu, Ji Jiayu, who looked a little nervous, and Ye Zihang, who had lingering fears.

Without waiting for the three of them to reply, He Yi walked ahead.

Ding Lu glanced at Ji Jiayu and Ye Zihang. Ye Zihang was struggling to stand and quickly followed He Yi, but judging by his walking posture, his legs seemed a little weak.

Ding Lu and Ji Jiayu also followed silently.

A minute later, the three of them entered He Yi's office, where He Yi was already sitting in a chair.

"Grandma He..." Ding Lu was the most worried.

"I know what just happened, you don't need to say anything." He Yi waved her hand and said, "First of all, Xiao Yu, you did nothing wrong, and I'm very happy." Even though you're not familiar with Ding Lu, you can defend her. Even if things get a little out of hand later, I still want to tell you something. Please continue to maintain your good qualities and courage."

"Huh?" Ji Jiayu was suddenly blinded, he thought he was going to be punished.

Immediately after, he heard He Yi's voice become serious again: "As for you, Ye Zihang, robbing your classmate's cultivation resources for no reason, this kind of behavior is strictly not allowed in my school! I think this is your first offense. I'll give you another chance, but from now on, I'll remove you from your captain position. In the future, the allocation of cultivation resources will all be handed over to Xiao Yu. You are not allowed to bully others in the future. If I find out, then I apologize, you will be expelled from the selection camp. Do you understand?"

"Understood..." Ye Zihang's face turned pale, his voice trembling; he was not a brave person.

"And you, Ding Lu, learn more from Xiao Yu and be braver," He Yi said solemnly.

"Understood, Grandma He," Ding Lu said nervously.

"Let's all go back to training. There are still ten days left until the preliminary selection. Work hard, come on."

"Yes, Grandma He."

He Yi waved her hand and motioned for the three of them to leave quickly. When the three of them heard this, they all walked out.

At this moment, He Yi suddenly said, "By the way, Ye Zihang, remember to apologize to Ding Lu."

Then, the three of them walked out of his office in turn.

As soon as he left the office, Ji Jiayu couldn't stand still, and Ding Lu sank towards the dormitory. But Ji Jiayu grabbed his collar as soon as he took a step.

"What's wrong?" Ding Lu asked.

"I'm sorry." Ye Zihang was sober, and after quickly saying something to Ding Lu, he turned his chubby body around and ran away.

Hearing Ye Zihang's apology, Ding Lu froze in place. After a long moment, he looked at Ji Jiayu with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you... Thank you."

Ji Jiayu smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, saying, "It's okay. We're roommates, so we should help each other."

When Ding Lu heard this, he smiled first, then said, "I see you've run out of Saint Crystals, so I'll give you mine. I'm using them too slowly, and I won't be able to use them until the next time I distribute them."

"I don't want them. Keep them for yourself." Ji Jiayu immediately shook his head, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not helping you get them back."

Seeing Ding Lu wanting to say something, Ji Jiayu hurriedly said, "Don't say more. Keep them for yourself." As soon as they finished speaking, they were about to walk towards the dormitory when the door behind them suddenly opened.

He Yi walked out with a fist-sized black cloth bag and smiled at Ji Jiayu with some embarrassment. "I'm old, I'm old, my memory is bad. Oh, this is your reward for justice."

Ji Jiayu absentmindedly took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw that it contained five Saint Crystals. He immediately smiled, "Thank you, Grandma He!"

"Hehe, you deserve it." He Yi smiled.

"Then let's go back to training first!" Ji Jiayu pulled Ding Lu, who was cramped beside him, and ran back to the dorm like a fly.

After returning to the dorm, Ji Jiayu immediately lay on the bed, holding the holy crystal in his hand, and began meditating and cultivating. He Yike had just said that there were still ten days left before the preliminary selection, so from now on, every second was precious.

During dinner that night, the reason for Ji Jiayu and Ye Hang's fight spread. This made the people in the selection camp feel a little less awe of Ye Hang, and they also felt a little more affection for the new Ji Jiayu. Let me ask you, who doesn't like a good and righteous friend?

But that was all. After all, for this group of people, meditating and cultivating well to pass the selection was the first priority, and making friends was secondary.

That same day, the last few people also successfully entered the underworld.

The entire selection battalion, consisting of twenty people, began their charge towards their next goal: accumulating divine power and advancing to the second-level Ming Ling.

In other words, the cultivation of the Chenghai Guangming Sacred Clan, like the other six seas and six regions, is divided into four realms and twelve levels. The first to third ranks are Ming Ling, the fourth to sixth ranks are Ming Zun, the seventh to ninth ranks are Ming Sheng, and the tenth to twelfth ranks are Ming Shen.

The gap and range of each realm and each level are vast. Among them, the conditions for promotion to the first-rank Ming Ling are the simplest, and you can begin absorbing divine power after successful meditation.

The second-rank Ming Ling is not difficult, as long as you are full of divine power.

The so-called wheel means covering every inch of skin and bone of the entire body with divine power.

Just two days after the battle between Ji Jiayu and Ye Zihang, Ye Zihang took the lead and promoted to the second-rank Ming Ling. Soon after, his roommate Hu Jie also successfully broke through.

This phenomenon confirmed what observers had said, and cultivating with Ye Zihang was equivalent to holding half a holy crystal at all times.

A few days later, the others were promoted to the second-rank Ming Ling. Everyone was chosen by the Guangming Clan from among the thousands of orphans in the Blue Domain, and in terms of cultivation talent, none of them were particularly bad.

Except for Ji Jiayu.

His cultivation talent was actually good, but he lost too much while absorbing divine power, which greatly delayed his promotion time. Even if He Yi gave him five more holy crystals, he still couldn't catch up to the first and second echelons. However, time waits for no one, and just when he was only a thin line away from the second-level Ming Ling, the main selection of the selection camp began.
