I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Su Hongxiu was very depressed.

To be honest, he had considered things before agreeing to be the head of the freshmen's class this year.

It was precisely because of those three students who were exempt from the entrance exam that she became somewhat interested.

Ye Kang, in particular, a member of the Three Offices, was highly praised by her, and she had even asked several of her former students about him.

Lin Lu and Feng Ju's stories were exactly the same: Ye Kang, a great talent!

He is a born general of the Three Offices; given time, he will surely achieve great things.

Su Hongxiu knew that he had crossed a major realm, used his methods to kill a martial artist in the Star Luo Realm, and knew that he was skilled in using formations. All of these things made Su Hongxiu interested in this year's freshmen and she took on the job of head of the class.

Ye Kang did not disappoint her. In his first trial, he overpowered all the others and displayed unparalleled strength.

Su Hongxiu was still thinking about how to discipline this elementary school student when Ye Kang turned around and gave her a big one.

He was actually the slowest one to emerge from the Qilin Cave.

Even Dai Zijun successfully captured the blood ginseng in just two days, so why is Ye Kang taking so long?

Could it be that he has some intellectual deficiency and doesn't know how to be flexible?

A mere blood ginseng? Wouldn't it be enough to lure it with a precious treasure?

Su Hongxiu thought and thought, but still couldn't figure it out.

The old man guarding the gate was quite easygoing and laughed, "Hongxiu, you are naturally from a prestigious family and have no shortage of treasures, but do you know that when I first came here, three days passed and I gained nothing?"

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Hahaha." The old man shook his head and smiled faintly: "Hongxiu is from a high-ranking family, how would she know that we poor martial artists have no connections in front of us and no backers behind us? Where would we find a treasure that Blood Ginseng would value? Even if we did have one, wouldn't we have to consider whether it's worth exchanging for a Blood Ginseng?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hongxiu was completely stunned.

Yup!

How could I have forgotten?

The top ten were all wealthy young men, possessing abundant treasures, while Ye Kang was the only commoner and the poorest of the sand people.

Perhaps he truly had nothing to exchange...

Su Hongxiu was a bit stumped and couldn't figure it out.

She felt ashamed when she thought of Ye Kang scratching his head in the vegetable garden, trying to come up with a solution but being unable to implement it.

Just then, footsteps came from inside the secret cave, and Ye Kang strode out.

Su Hongxiu frowned, about to offer some comfort, when Ye Kang took the initiative to cup his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Headmaster. I was cultivating inside for a while and didn't notice the time. Please forgive me, Headmaster."

"Practice?"

Su Hongxiu scanned the area with her primordial spirit and was instantly speechless.

This guy didn't fail to catch the blood ginseng; he clearly ate and drank his fill, not only refining the blood ginseng but also obtaining a treasure of good fortune.

I feel so ashamed!

Su Hongxiu said irritably, "You have such a good attitude. Get back here and go to the Martial Arts Academy and the Array Academy for classes first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Yes."

Ye Kang was completely bewildered, thinking to himself that he was just a little late and hadn't done anything wrong, so why was the headmaster angry?

Of course, I only dared to think these things in my heart.

Ye Kang didn't dwell on it and immediately returned to his dormitory.

Lu Zhian was still refining pills in the courtyard. Ye Kang greeted him and then went back to his room for a good night's sleep.

Although sleep is no longer a daily necessity, after several days without sleep, I should still get some rest.

The next day, he got up early and followed the road signs to the canteen.

Martial artists still need to eat. Without taking in nutrients, how can they keep up with the enormous energy expenditure?

Therefore, the cafeteria was packed with students early in the morning.

The academy's canteen is not free, but it's still quite affordable.

He found a noodle stall, casually ordered a basket of steamed buns, and sat down to eat.

These steamed buns are also made of spirit flour, and are completely different from ordinary steamed buns.

Not only does it have a subtle fragrance and not feel dry at all, but it also nourishes with spiritual energy. After eating a whole basket, Ye Kang felt completely satisfied.

For a martial artist, eating a basket of steamed buns in one meal is considered a small appetite, and it's only good for breakfast.

If it's a proper meal, there would be several bowls of meat alone.

He had just finished eating when a man sat down next to him.

"Brother Ye, what a coincidence."

Ye Kang looked up. He had seen Gao Fan a few days ago; he was the second-ranked person in the top ten, second only to himself.

He was easygoing and uninhibited, and quite sociable. As soon as he sat down, he laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Ye for giving me the opportunity to make a move. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gotten second place."

"Brother Gao is highly skilled in martial arts. Even without me, he can still show his prowess."

"That's a nice thing to say, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Today is the end of the rest day, and it's time for the new students to start classes at the Martial Academy. Brother Ye, are you familiar with the rules of the Martial Academy?"

"I don't know."

"I do know a thing or two. In order to recruit manpower, the Three Offices specially authorized the Martial Academy to learn the three combat techniques. The Three Offices combat techniques were created by top masters and are the cornerstone of the martial arts of the Martial Dynasty. They are extremely powerful. It is a great fortune for us to have the opportunity to learn them."

Why are you telling me all this, Brother Gao?

Ye Kang didn't give them a cold shoulder; since they were speaking so kindly, he naturally humbly sought their advice.

Gao Fan smiled and said, "There is a five-person battle technique that can gather the strength of five people to charge into battle and is unmatched. Brother Ye, your strength is profound, and I naturally hope to bring you along."

"You want me to learn five-man combat tactics with you?"

Ye Kang was somewhat surprised.

He knows quite a lot of martial arts, but there is a difference between combat tactics and martial arts.

The biggest difference is that the martial arts tactics of the Wu Dynasty can be practiced together.

Like a martial art for two people, when combined, it unleashes unparalleled power.

Ye Kang had seen Feng Ju's Weight-on-Scales Battle Technique, and its power was even more terrifying than his newly acquired Palm Thunder Swamp, so he was quite interested in it.

The five-person combat method was unheard of, and he was eager to see it for himself.

But I have no connection with Gao Fan, so why would he come looking for me?

Ye Kang asked, "Brother Gao, did you recruit me for a reason?"

"clever."

Gao Fan didn't mince words and asked frankly, "Brother Ye, have you ever heard of the four most dangerous places in the east, west, south, and north of the county town?"

"I heard something."

"The Demon Serpent Valley, the Thousand Poison Swamp, the Bottomless Lake, and the Soul-Severing Mountains are all extremely dangerous places, but they also hold countless great opportunities. If we can form a team of five and rely on combat skills, we can certainly venture into the outer areas of these four places."

After Gao Fan finished speaking, he gave a longing smile.

Ye Kang immediately understood; it turned out to be for a group adventure.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm glad you think highly of me, Brother Gao. Why don't we go and take a look at the Martial Academy first?"

"nature."

Gao Fan stuffed a basket of buns into his mouth and then went with Ye Kang to the Martial Arts Academy.

This is a magnificent building that occupies almost half of the mountainside.

After all, martial arts training is the foundation of the academy, so it is naturally valued.

As soon as the two entered, they saw that the newlyweds had already gathered together, and countless eyes were on them.

Why did they both come together?

"Hmph, one a sandman, the other a rat, they're birds of a feather."
