Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

After breaking through to the Transformation Realm and consolidating her cultivation, Ding Yi came out of the retreat room and took a walk around the training area on the left. She found that the countless space traps were similar to the ones she had entered. Ding Yi had no interest in continuing to walk around and left the training tower directly.

Black Rock City is very lively, and the streets are bustling with monks of various races.

Human caravans were also mixed in.

Ding Yi was dazzled and said the trip was worthwhile.

After strolling around Black Rock City, Ding Yi thought of looking for Xiong Zao, Long Gaoao and others, but was told that they were all in seclusion, making the final sprint for the Hundred Colleges Competition in half a year.

Ding Yi then realized that she had been in the training tower for quite some time.

The student token lit up, and it was Lu Yuanchang reminding her about the Hundred Colleges Competition and asking her to come back on time.

After rummaging through the space ring for a while, Ding Yi took out the dusty Shengtian Auction House VIP card, passed the auction house, found a caravan, and followed them back to the Fifth City.

Of course she could go out by herself, but her return date was uncertain and she was afraid she would miss the gathering time.

The Hundred Academies Competition is a grand event shared by the ninety-nine continents in the lower realm of Canglan, and the competition takes place in the upper realm of Canglan.

By then, the ninety-nine academies in the lower world will form ninety-nine teams to compete for the final ranking.

Canglan's lower world is quite far from the upper world, and one needs to take a cross-world teleportation array and go through several jumps to reach the upper world. Because it is a cross-world teleportation array, some people will not be able to adapt, so they need to go in advance, and when they arrive in the upper world, they will rest for a few days and be in the best condition to welcome the Hundred Colleges Competition.

After the Hundred Colleges Competition, most of the students will not come back, but enter the Unknown Academy in the Canglan Upper Realm to continue their studies.

The cross-boundary teleportation array will provide one free ride for every person who goes to the lower world of Canglan. If they want to ride again next time, they will need to spend a huge amount of spirit stones.

The worth of some monks is only enough to be teleported once, but for some monks, there is no chance at all.

There are not enough spiritual stones.

Ding Yi narrowly managed to return to the Wuming Academy in the Fifth City a few days before the gathering. Before she could explain, a middle-aged man with a resolute face rushed over and started scolding Ding Yi as soon as he saw her.

"I say, little girl Ding Yi, do you have a pig brain? I told you to come back earlier, but you came back at the wrong time. What's the matter? Are you relying on your young age to participate in the next Hundred Colleges Competition? You are so rash and impetuous, and you are not steady at all. You are the worst disciple I have ever seen..."

"..." Ding Yi blinked, it made sense. This handsome middle-aged man was her master Lu Yuanchang who had made her hated everywhere.

Grab Lu Yuanchang's sleeve, don't say anything, just act coquettishly first. As far as I remember, Old Lu fell for this.

"Master, I've arrived. There are so many people here. Please at least give them some face. Master, let's go. Let's go back and talk. I have something to ask you."

After much dragging and pulling, Lu Yuanchang was finally stopped from speaking, not giving him the opportunity to criticize and educate him.

"Tell me, what have you gained from being out for so long? Didn't you say that you would be able to break through to the Tongtian realm before the Hundred Colleges Competition? Well, I see, you are only at the Huatian realm."

Lu Yuan often sat comfortably in the armchair with his legs crossed, with a cup of steaming hot tea at hand.

Ding Yi remembered that those were things given to him by his original body. Lu Yuanchang was a poor swordsman. If it came to fighting skills, he could beat ten of them. But if it came to financial resources, ten of them were not as good as one.

"Master, didn't you notice anything different?" Ding Yi opened his hands, turned around, moved closer to Lu Yuanchang, and blinked his eyes.

"Why are you getting so close? What's wrong? Is there sand in your eyes? Do you want me to blow it out for you?" Lu Yuanchang pushed Ding Yi away in disdain. "Let's get down to business. What's wrong with your cultivation?"

"That's it." Ding Yi stood up straight, put his hands in his sleeves, and complained in his heart, a straight man, he deserved it at his age, but no one liked him, and his wife was angry and ran away.

According to the gossip heard from Dean Chen Juhe, Lu Yuanchang has a childhood sweetheart, and he and his junior sister have agreed to get married when they reach Rongyu Realm.

Later, his junior sister broke through first, but Lu Yuanchang was not convinced and began to distance himself from her. He came to the Fifth Continent alone and became the dean of the Kendo Academy.

The junior sister thought of many ways to help him, but Lu Yuanchang just wouldn't appreciate it and claimed that he wanted to rely on his own abilities to break through the Rong Yu realm. The junior sister was so angry that she beat him up and left.

His companions asked Lu Yuanchang to quickly get his junior sister back, but Lu Yuanchang didn't care: "Don't worry, she must have run away because she beat me up and was afraid that I would report it to Master. If I go to get her back, I will hurt her."

When the junior sister saw that Lu Yuanchang didn't go to find her, she got so angry that she turned around and beat him up. Lu Yuanchang still used the same excuse as before.

Now, Lu Yuanchang still thinks so. He will wait until he breaks through the Rongyu realm and can stand in front of his junior sister before going to find her.

In the past few years, Lu Yuanchang actually had the strength to break through, but it was because Ding Yi stayed and also because he was not well prepared and lacked some necessary resources.

Lu Yuanchang was so poor that he couldn't even afford tea. The reason was that he was preparing for a breakthrough by using resources, so he saved as much as possible and cheated as much as possible. In the beginning, he prepared the disciple gift for Ding Yi, which took him a lot of effort and he had to fight with others several times. When he got it, he gave it to Ding Yi with a happy face.

"Master, just take a good look. Don't you think that my skills in the Heaven Transformation Realm are very solid?" Ding Yi walked over again and continued to pull his sleeves.

Lu Yuanchang lifted his eyelids to take a look, then nodded, "It is indeed solid. You have the intention, but it is better to break through the Tongtian Realm as soon as possible. The Tongtian Realm is a bridge connecting the Tian Realm and the Yu Realm. When you reach that level, you will understand."

"Master, don't worry. I can break through at any time. I just want to calm down. I always feel like something is missing in my mind. Maybe I overlooked something and can't remember it for the time being. I think that thing is very important and I must remember it."

Within two days of returning to the Nameless Academy in the Fifth City, the dean Chen Juhe notified everyone to prepare to set off.

When Ding Yi saw Zhou Xiang in the team, his pupils suddenly shrank and the discomfort of being dominated came over him.

Pretending not to see it, Ding Yi moved her feet again and again, and finally moved to the corner. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Xiang, who was clearly on the opposite side, standing behind her like a ghost, and patted her shoulder affectionately.

"Ding Yi, long time no see."

Taking a deep breath, Ding Yi forced herself to calm down. How could she be afraid of her? No, it's just two eyes, a nose and a mouth. What's there to be afraid of?

"Yes, long time no see." With a fake smile and a dry response, anyone could see that Ding Yi was feeling unnatural.

Zhou Xiang pretended not to see it. He put his arm around Ding Yi's shoulders, leaned his head on it, and leaned close to Ding Yi's ear. He spoke in a low voice, and the words he said made people's hearts skip a beat.

"Ding Yi, you are hiding from me. Why? Are you afraid that I will expose the secret that you are not her?"
