Chapter 47: Attribute

Li Pin did not heed Zhao Yuan's advice to stay in Jiang Province City. Once he acquired the house and made arrangements for the renovations, he returned to Zanglong City.

It wasn't because he did not take his safety seriously, but because he believed that running away from problems wasn't the best way to solve them. However, since the Five Elements Sect had assured him that they would be able to resolve the problem caused by Wang Daoyi's team, he shall not attempt to take matters into his own hands.

Ring Ring!

Li Pin was woken up by his phone ringing.

He opened his eyes and picked up the phone.

9:41 A.M..

"It's already this late?"

He had gained a lot from meditating yesterday night. Through his clairvoyance, he analyzed that his spirit energy points were rising. Hence, he continued to practice meditation. Who would've thought that he would sleep until this late the next day?

Li Pin picked up the phone and heard Li Yunyao's voice.

—Brother, we're here!

"Hmm? You've arrived?"

For the past few months, Li Yunyao and Lin Xiaolu would make a trip to Zanglong City every weekend and had Li Pin make adjustments to their training plan based on their progress.

—Yes, we are about ten minutes away from your condominium. Brother, did you just wake up? Shall we get you breakfast?.

"Alright. No need. I'll come down in a bit," Li Pin responded then hung up the phone.

He glanced at the date displayed on the phone.

April 16th, Saturday.

"The Jiang Province Martial Competition is less than half a month away," mumbled Li Pin.

Li Pin sensed his condition.

[Qi and Blood: 33.41]

[Primordial Qi: 27.55]

[Aura Force: 107/143]

[Innate Qi-Nurturing Technique: Qi-Nurturing Chapter: 64/102]

[Blood-Seething Secret Art: 29.41%]

"That should be it."

Having been at Core Formation for over a month, his physique had gotten stronger. He had been adjusting the Blood-Seething Secret Art constantly, and the results brought by it were on par with the consumption of the Blood Seething Powder. Although he hadn't been able to completely eliminate the side effects, he had been able to subdue them significantly.

"With a monthly investment of close to one million and nourishments from medicinal herbs, I've made a tremendous improvement in the Innate Qi-Nurturing Technique. Once the Jiang Province Martial Competition concludes, I won't be far from the foundation-building chapter."

Li Yunyao burst into laughter. "Hahah, Xiaolu, I told you that you're not cut out for martial arts. You'll still need me, Li Yunyao, to safeguard you on the martial arts path in the future!"

Li Yunyao immediately turned to Li Pin. "Brother, what about me? My conditions are fine right?"

Li Pin looked at her and nodded calmly. "You have no problems."

Li Yunyao was pleased. "I knew that."

She was only proud for a moment when the realization dawned on her. What Li Pin was speaking about was....

Her proud smile stiffened, and she immediately looked down and saw her white shoes.... She finally looked at Lin Xiaolu and suddenly felt gloomy.

She didn't know whether to feel happy or sad right now.

"Xiaolu should be able to attain Force this month. As for you... probably next month. Last month, I went to Jiang Province City and learned about Jiang Province University's admission policy. Should both of you attain Force and score an examination score of over four hundred, you would be able to be admitted." Li Pin shared.

"Four hundred!?" exclaimed Li Yunyao, eyes widening, "So much!?"

Li Pin looked at her quizzically. "Isn't this the passing mark?"

"But... but do you know how hard it is to pass?" grumbled Li Yunyao

Li Pin's brows furrowed. "You can't hit the passing mark?"

Although he wouldn't be able to score the required score himself, "Li Pin" had gotten a score of over six hundred!

"I...I...." Li Yunyao stuttered.

"Useless," uttered Li Pin mercilessly.

"D-don't you bully a girl for being poor [1]..." Li Yunyao retaliated angrily.

Li Pin nodded. "You are really poor."

It was true that Li Yunyao wasn't that capable. He couldn't imagine how she would support herself in society when the time came....

As that thought struck him, he noticed that although Li Yunyao was angry, she still had an adorable face that one couldn't resist pinching.

Maybe... she'd be like Li Yunyan and wouldn't have to worry about this problem.

Unable to resist the urge, Li Pin reached for her fair and flawless cheek and gave it a pinch. "Alright, I'll think of something. But you'll still have to do your best to get a good score."

"Brother Li?"

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"The door wasn't closed, so I..."

The next moment, Liu Yingying came in, medicinal herbs in her hands. When she saw the close interaction between Li Pin and Li Yunyao, she felt a soreness coming up her nose and lowered her head. "I'm sorry... I came at a bad time."

"No, you're right on time." Li Pin went up to her. "Help me boil the medicine herbs, I want Yaoyao and Xiaolu to have them."
