"Ah Zai, I heard a rumor at school this time. It's said that the college entrance exam in Jiangnan will be moved up!" Su Zhu said to Su Han while eating after finishing her meal. "It seems that invigilators have already moved into the school. I went through their early invigilation check this time..."
"My academic performance is fully up to standard! In fact, it's even slightly above. As for my martial arts cultivation... I'm currently at the seventh level of body refinement, which is two levels away from the ninth level of the Great Perfection. However... last time, the cultivation standard for Jinling University was also the seventh level of body refinement. I heard that the standard will be lowered a bit this time, so I feel very confident this time."
"By the way, I also recommended you. They said that as long as your cultivation level is confirmed to be at the first level, you don't need a cultural examination and can directly enter Jinling."
Su Han's eyelids twitched. He had previously thought Xu Changnan was just being polite, but now that he heard it... he felt that Su Zhu had indeed gotten into Jinling University based on her own abilities.
I guess Xu Changnan's role was to specifically find an invigilator and let her take the exam ahead of time, right?
After a brief silence, Su Han gazed at Su Zhu's face and said softly, "As expected of my sister, she is indeed a genuine genius."
Su Zhu laughed at first, but then realized what she meant and her cheeks puffed up in anger. "Don't give me that."
"You, a mere cultivator at the First Realm, are you really sure you're not being sarcastic by talking about your sister like that?"
"Everything I said came from the bottom of my heart." Su Han shrugged, but didn't say anything more, and placed the empty bowl on the table.
Back in his room, Su Han opened the window, glanced into the distance, and after a moment of sensing, felt a sense of unease.
"Strange... I can now sense Xu Changnan's intense spiritual energy fluctuations from eight kilometers away! But the aura of the evil god within this eight-kilometer radius is much thinner than it was this afternoon... Has he given up on attacking that guy, or is there another conspiracy?"
"Hopefully there's another conspiracy," Su Han murmured. If the evil god's followers don't make a move, wouldn't that mean he's missing out on an extra meal?
Afterwards, Su Han mentally rehearsed the situation and confirmed that even if a problem arose, he would be able to react immediately and not miss it, so he immediately felt relieved.
He sat cross-legged on his bed, closed his eyes, and entered the cultivation moon of the misty space, preparing to consolidate his current cultivation level of the Three Realms through arduous training.

Of course, Su Han only cultivated for two months during this cultivation month. Although, according to Su Han's own calculations, he would need at least three years of arduous training to fully stabilize his current cultivation level.
However, Su Han was so bored while cultivating inside that he couldn't take it anymore. He had no choice but to leave early and return to the bronze throne in the misty space.
...
As the mist rises, the palace sits quietly, adorned with stars of various shapes.
Zhang Sanfeng emerged from the cultivation moon in mid-air and landed in his place. He let out a long breath.
"How did you feel about this training?" the white-bearded man sitting on the bronze chair asked with a smile.
"I haven't broken through, but I've benefited immensely." After a brief pause, Zhang Sanfeng turned to look at the silent Ying Zheng, his expression solemn. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing upon me the cultivation methods of your world. In particular, the magic of your world has given me much insight."
"It's just an equal exchange," Ying Zheng replied calmly. Actually, the last time Zhang Sanfeng exchanged with him, he gave him some Wudang cultivation methods. Leaving aside the fact that Ying Zheng himself didn't lack these internal energy refinement methods, even exchanging magic for these internal energy techniques would definitely be a loss.
However, Ying Zheng didn't care about these gains and losses, or rather, he deliberately suffered a loss. He simply wanted to win over this unparalleled martial arts genius.
"Wait, you've already learned all those strange and wonderful spells from the Qin's Moon world?" Huang Rong suddenly asked, her voice full of surprise. "That's not right... If you've learned them, then your strength should have progressed very rapidly, right?"
"My combat power has indeed increased a lot, but my cultivation level has not improved." Zhang Sanfeng explained patiently.
Ying Zheng remained silent, glancing at Su Han's location. This was a habitual action of his, as Su Han would occasionally appear on the high seat, arriving and departing without a sound. He could only be observed with the naked eye.
With that casual glance, he spotted the figure shrouded in mist, sitting there quietly.
"You're actually there?"
Ying Zheng's pupils contracted slightly, but his lips remained pressed together, and he did not speak. Clearly, he was not the only one present who had this habit.
"Good evening, Speaker of the Council." After discovering Su Han's presence, the white-bearded man did not hide it and laughed out loud. "Seeing that you are as mysterious and unpredictable as ever, I am relieved."
"...Old man with the crescent-shaped beard, what kind of strange greeting is that?" Huang Rong's eye twitched.
“Edward Newgate is a pirate on the high seas, with a forthright personality,” Madara Uchiha said quietly. “That’s just his personality, so it’s normal for him to say things like that.”
Ying Zheng stared at the mist surrounding Su Han. After a moment's consideration, he took out several cards and tossed them towards Su Han. Silently, the cards floated in front of Su Han.
"What are these?" Su Han's eyes flashed. He recognized among them the supreme techniques of Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and even the School of Diplomacy under Guiguzi. These were techniques he hadn't seen before.
"This is the legacy of the various schools of thought I have acquired over this period of time," Ying Zheng said in a steady voice. "Last time, I gave you the methods stored in the palace, but that was not enough to make up for the future you showed me. This time, I will make up for it."
After a moment's thought, Su Han did not refuse and put it away.
When Su Han first acquired Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Fist, he initially felt that these two martial arts techniques were of little use to him. However, after he broke through in the real world and used them to create his own supernatural abilities... he changed his mind.
Even though they come from different worlds, these techniques, which embody the highest wisdom of their respective worlds, still possess undeniable value.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The longer they remained within this misty space, the more he perceived the unfathomable depths of the Council Speaker. Perhaps each time, they could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious mist overlord…
Even this small part of the iceberg was enough to shake them to their core. It was truly hard to imagine just how vast the rest of this Mist Lord, lurking in the darkness, was.
"Actually, even if he showed it to us, we probably wouldn't be able to accept it. More likely, we would go crazy because we would see something we can't accept."
As he pondered, Ying Zheng's expression grew increasingly complex.
Suddenly, a shimmering light began to fall from the sky.
Then, Aizen's figure slowly emerged from the star constellation belonging to the Hokage and landed in his seat. He saw Su Han, somewhat surprised, and smiled as he said, "Goodnight, Council Chairman."
Su Han responded softly. Lan Ran paused for a moment, then touched his nose, "You might not believe it... but hearing your reply actually made me feel incredibly flattered?"
Madara Uchiha suddenly chuckled, "I never expected Aizen to be so good at currying favor with others."
Aizen did not respond; he simply turned his head and gazed at Madara Uchiha with a smile.
"What kind of expression is that?" Madara Uchiha's eyebrows twitched a few times. He noticed the hint of pity beneath Aizen's smile and understood what the other meant. He spoke coldly, "Even though I failed, it was only because of my carelessness."
"Compared to you, who turned a winning hand into a losing one."
