After bidding Xuanyuan Cheng farewell, An Lin walked rather dejectedly toward his living quarters.

He was the most popular celebrity in the university, so there were many students who came up to greet him. It wasnt a bad feeling to be acknowledged like this, especially when he waved back to all the students while riding on Da Bai. He felt like he was an important official surveying the school.

As An Lin rode along slowly on his dogs back, he encountered Su Qianyun, who was also walking along at a casual stroll.

Hey there, Classmate Su Qianyun, how were your holidays?

Same old same old. I stayed with Sister Change, then went back to the imperial palace for a while and the holidays were over just like that.

Oh, that doesnt sound too bad. By the way, Im Spirit Nurturing Final Stage now.

Oh my God! Youre awesome, Classmate An Lin!!

Heheh, Im not all that great, youre making me blush

After bragging about his feats to Su Qianyun, his mood recovered significantly, and he continued on forward until he saw a woman with short pink hair seated on a jade bench, staring off into space.

Hey there, Liu Qianhuan, how were your holidays?

I almost died from boredom, there was no one to play games with me, arrrrrrgh!

You shouldve taken a holiday to Earth.

Dont even talk about that, there was no spot for me! Ive been blacklisted by the university just because I went to play games with my team and delayed the completion of our mission. Some accursed department in the mortal world reported me to the Heavenly Court, and Ive lost my chance to go to Earth.

well, you reap what you sow. By the way, youve been Half-Step Soul Formation Stage for a long time, have you broken through to Soul Formation Stage yet?

No, not yet.

So slow! Im already Spirit Nurturing Final Stage!

Uh-huh and what about it?

Holy f*ck, arent you shocked?!

Should I be shocked? You cant beat me in League of Valor anyway.

An Lin patted Da Bais back and they continued onward until they saw a figure in a green dress.

Hey, Xiaolan, how were your holidays?

Little An, I was just looking for you! Youre an absolute failure of an owner, whats your deal leaving Xiao Hong with me? Do you know how shocked I was when I was woken up by the sound of a song about a large pinwheel after getting back to the Vermilion Bird Sect?!

Oh crap, sorry, I forgot. Where is Xiao Hong by the way?

Hmph, shes sitting in a flower pot in my room. I dont even have to set an alarm in the morning now; her pinwheel song is more than enough to wake me up!

Ahem I did say Im sorry. Whatve you been doing with Shen Yins inheritance?

Ive basically consolidated everything. After absorbing the Black Lightning Dragon Ball, my dragon and phoenix bloodlines have merged as one instead of combating against one another as they did in the past. Im slowly incorporating the other parts of the inheritance now and am almost at a stage where Ive made it my own.

Wow! Thats some progress!

Its all thanks to you, make sure to take me with you when you go treasure-hunting next time as well.

Well see about that Xiaolan, I actually have some news to share. Im Spirit Nurturing Final Stage now!

Oh what weird thing did you eat this time? Or what weird method did you use to make the breakthrough?

Xiaolan, is this how you see me now?

Yep.

An Lin suddenly felt very dejected. Why was it so hard to flex?

Wasnt she supposed to gasp at his statement before commending him for his extraordinary aptitude for cultivation and pledge her eternal admiration?

Among everyone he had broken the news to, he could only recall Su Qianyun giving him the desired reaction. Why was this the case?

An Lin pondered the issue in deep thought, trying to pinpoint the exact problem.

After all, what was life without flexing?

At this moment, a well-built man walked toward him from the opposite direction.

Yo, Luo Ziping, how was your holiday?

Haha, Big Brother An, I was just going to tell you some good news, Ive broken through to Spirit Nurturing Stage!

Congratulations! This is indeed something to be happy about. I think youre the sixth student to have reached Spirit Nurturing Stage from our class.

Its not just me, I heard both Sun Shenglian and Miao Tian have also broken through. Its all thanks to the bloodline inheritance we received from the Purple Star research institute, otherwise, theres no way wed progress so quickly.

Thats fantastic news, our former team is probably invincible now! Mind you, your team leader has been trying his best as well, Im already Spirit Nurturing Final Stage now!

Haha, as expected of Big Brother An, I wouldnt even be surprised if you told me you were Soul Formation Stage now!

Cant you be just a little shocked

Huh? Why would I be shocked?

After bidding Luo Ziping farewell, An Lin became even more depressed. He had just broken through from Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage to Spirit Nurturing Final Stage within a month, couldnt they react more vigorously?!

Da Bai, why is it so hard for me to flex now?

Hehe, Big Brother An, youve already flexed too much so everyones accustomed to your feats now, woof!

An Lin slapped his forehead and sighed in resignation. Da Bais analysis was probably spot on.

So be it It was the start of a new year, he shouldnt bog himself down with these negative emotions.

Cultivate hard and improve every day!

An Lin shrugged off his depression and formally invited Xiao Hong back to their group alongside a heartfelt apology.

Xiao Hong herself wasnt even mad that she had been forgotten. After all, the effect was the same no matter where she photosynthesized.

She would photosynthesize all day if she stayed by Xu Xiaolans side, and she would do the exact same thing if she stayed by An Lins side.

Was there a difference?

None whatsoever!

Xiao Hong, did you know Im Spirit Nurturing Final Stage now?

Wow master is so awesome, do you know how to sing twinkle twinkle little star?

Ha?

You dont? Let me teach you.

Xiao Hong began to sing in a sweet voice, Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are

Tears streaked down An Lins face? Were there no longer any normal people around him? Why was it so damn hard to flex?

A new cohort of cute young underclassmen and women arrived at the university.

They also quickly learned of the legendary senior student An Lin!

This was a peerless mighty figure who could rip a Monarch in half with his bare hands and stab a hole into the sky with a single finger. He was the legend and pride of the school, so any extraordinary feats you heard about him were to be expected!

All the new students were in shock after hearing of his legendary exploits.

Wow, Senior An Lin is so strong, Id love to meet him!

I heard he broke through to Spirit Nurturing Final Stage from Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage during the span of one holiday period.

Thats nothing, he could already abuse a Monarch at the pinnacle of Return to Void Stage as a Dao Body Stage cultivator, breaking through two ranks during one holiday period isnt even a feat worthy of note.

Hmm, youre right, I was making a fuss over nothing.

Thus, all the new students were immediately bombarded by tales of An Lins legendary exploits, granting them complete immunity to An Lins flexing.

Thus, An Lins path to flexing seemed to have been completely cut off.

His life as a third-year university student also commenced under this peaceful atmosphere.
