After a short rest, the three of them set off for the Academy, fully loaded with their harvest.

As they reached the outskirts of the East Summer Mountains, they ran into a few classmates along the way. Afraid that they would cause trouble, Feng Zhi called for Chu Yao and Qin Feng to temporarily hide.

“Hey, did you guys see that trash Ye Meng?”

“After killing a 2-star demon beast for a few days, she thought that she could advance! I saw her heading towards the 3-star demon beast area just now!”

“Second from the bottom, I’m afraid she’ll die there! Should we help her collect her corpse? We’re classmates after all!”

The few of them did not hold back their discussion. Their words were filled with contempt and they did not take Ye Meng’s life seriously at all!

Qin Feng and Feng Zhi looked at each other and cursed in their hearts!

In order to speed up her advancement speed, Ye Meng went to the tier 1, 3-star demon beast area to gain experience?

Qin Feng could not care less about anything else and went straight to the tier 1, 3-star demon beast area.

Feng Zhi did not dare to delay and followed closely behind. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, Ye Meng! Hold On!

Roar!!

The sound of the demon beast being enraged could be heard faintly!

Ye Meng’s ribs were injured and her right hand was in a state where she could not lift it up. However, she still tried to find the weakness of the demon beast and counter-attack!

“Ye Meng!”

Qin Feng’s eyes were red and he raised his sword to help.

Feng Zhi rushed over and after seeing Ye Meng’s condition, she shot out two icicles to block his way!

“Wait, don’t go over for the time being!”

“You want to stop me? Ye Meng treats you as a friend! Are you going to watch her die here?”

Qin Feng could not control his emotions and shouted.

Ye Meng heard the noise and was distracted. The demon beast flipped her over and she spat out two mouthfuls of blood!

Feng Zhi’s heart tightened, but she was now certain that Ye Meng’s life would not be in danger. She relaxed and stared at Qin Feng with burning eyes.

“You can help her now! Are you going to help her on the test platform as well?”

“Since Ye Meng thought of the 3-star area, she wants to rely on her own strength to successfully hunt! Don’t you believe that she can succeed?”

“To truly improve! We are all in vain, she can only rely on herself!”

Feng Zhi gritted her teeth, silently clenching her fists, encouraging Ye Meng from the bottom of her heart.

She would stand guard here to ensure Ye Meng’s safety, but in order to succeed, Ye Meng had to do it herself!

Ye Meng had also heard these words. She weakly propped herself up from the ground and stood up!

“Yes! I can do it!”

She condensed her spiritual energy and transformed into two wooden sticks with thorns. She soared into the air and stabbed towards the demon beast’s eyes!

The demon beast could not see anything. It violently swept across the area and a powerful force hit Ye Meng. She kept retreating!

Qin Feng’s eyes were red. He tried his best to restrain himself and stood on the spot!

Dong!

With a muffled sound, Ye Meng used her body as a shield and crashed into the demon beast’s heart!

Boom…

The demon beast instantly turned into mist and dissipated. Ye Meng’s eyes were blurred as she looked in Feng Zhi’s direction. She let out a breath and fell to the ground.

“Zhi Zhi, I won!”

“Ye Meng!”

The few of them ran over frantically. Qin Feng carried her and ran back to the dormitory at high speed!

She was severely injured. Feng Zhi helped Ye Meng take off her outer robe. She turned her head and saw Qin Feng standing there like a block of wood. She asked helplessly.

“You want to watch?”

“Brother Qin, wait outside! Trust Feng Zhi.”

Chu Yao patted Qin Feng’s shoulder and waited for the door to close. Feng Zhi took out a few rare herbs from her interspatial ring, along with the alchemy furnace.

Recalling the alchemy method, she threw the high-level magic crystal into the furnace and twirled her fingers!

The medicinal liquid boiled and the magic crystal shattered, gradually fusing into it!

Feng Zhi supported the unconscious Ye Meng against the wall and poured the medicine into her mouth as she said softly.

“It will be a little painful. Bear with it, it will be fine soon.”

The power of this medicine was very great, but it could help her… achieve her wish!

“Ah… it hurts! Save Me!”

Ye Meng frowned and tossed about on the bed for an hour. Soon after, a weak green light burst out from her body and disappeared again.

Feng Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that Ye Meng had advanced.

Feng Zhi said in a low voice, “this time, I saw your determination and decided to help you stay.”

“Recuperate well. You must work hard to become stronger. Don’t let me down.”

…

On the day of the test, East Summer Academy opened up a high platform!

Some of the students below the platform were proud while others were nervous. However, when they saw Feng Zhi and Ye Meng walking over together, they started discussing.

“The young miss of the Feng family actually still dares to appear?!”

“A few days ago, she was still cultivating in the two-star magical beast region. She must still be a tier 1, 2-star. It would be a disgrace for her to come here!”

“Just wait and see if she withdraws from the Academy! Could it be that the Feng family can still force the Academy to keep her here?”

Towards the malicious intentions of the crowd, Feng Lan acted as if she had not heard them.

She did not speak, but her calm temperament and perfect face still attracted the attention of the others.

“Feng Lan!”

Soon, teacher Feng Lan was called by her name. She proudly raised her chin and walked towards the high platform.

She gently placed her hand on the test stone, and the test stone shone brightly!

The teacher took a look and excitedly announced, “Feng Lan, tier 1, 4-star!”

“It’s tier 1, 4-star! Feng Lan is too amazing! She can be so strong in a month!”

“As expected of the talented young lady of the Feng Family! That’s great! In all these years, not many people can reach her level!”

Listening to the flattery of the crowd, Feng Lan could not control the excitement and fervor in her eyes. For so long, she had relied on absorbing magic crystals to obtain the final result!

This time, she wanted to crush Feng Zhi under her feet!

Following that, a few more people went up to the stage to take the test. Overall, the passing rate was only 70%. Those who passed cheered and those who did not pass wiped their tears secretly.

Finally–

“Feng Zhi!”

The teacher called out Feng Zhi’s name.
