"Treat you to a meal?" Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't considered that this would matter to her.

Jiang Ye was about to speak.

Chen Zilu suddenly remembered something and said, "Let's chat on the phone when we get back, someone might be eavesdropping here."

After speaking, her figure slowly faded away.

"Eavesdropping?" Jiang Ye was startled, quickly exiting the virtual space.

...

In the mysterious space.

"Did you hear?"

"What did that girl just say?" The short observer said in surprise, "She wants to go on a date with that boy?"

"Did I see it wrong?"

The short observer was full of amazement, even incredulous.

"What date, she's talking about treating!" The tall observer said irritably.

"A lone man with a single woman, treating? Isn't that a date?" The short observer said.

"Even if you disregard these."

"Chen Zilu helping Jiang Ye break through Great Success is one thing, but she also helped him pinpoint dozens of spear technique flaws."

"When did that girl ever treat a guy so well?" The short observer was extremely gossip-driven.

"You should gossip less."

"It's their private matters, why bother?" The tall observer shook his head, "It's Jiang Ye who seems to be quite a good seed."

"Mark him down as important."

"If his subsequent performance is satisfactory, we can give him a spot in that place." The tall one said.

"Are you referring to the Federation's newly discovered Star Realm Sea?" The short one asked, puzzled, "His performance isn't up to that requirement yet, is it?"

"Ha, ignorance." The tall one shook his head, "I just saw, Jiang Ye has Original Talent!"

"If he had Newborn Talent or Tao Bone Talent, then indeed it's nothing special."

"But Original Talent? Who can say for sure." The tall observer expressed with deep emotion.

At this time, he didn't know that Jiang Ye already had Newborn Talent.

If he did, he'd likely be even more surprised.

After all, the consensus is that talent cannot be changed. Original turning into Newborn? Enough to shock the world.

...

In the main villa.

"Buzz buzz!"

Jiang Ye had just risen from the virtual cabin when his phone beside him vibrated.

"It's Senior Sister." Jiang Ye picked up the phone.

"Beep!" A projection appeared.

A stunning teenage girl in a moon-white, fluffy chiffon dress stood alone, her legs long and slender.

"Senior Sister." Jiang Ye looked at her.

"Your spear technique has reached Great Success."

"The rest is just the realm," Chen Zilu said with a smile, "Once you reach Second Break, I have a gift for you."

"A gift?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

Then, shaking his head helplessly, he said, "Senior Sister, I haven't even figured out how to thank you, and you're already offering this."

He indeed wanted to repay Chen Zilu.

During his senior year in high school, he privately sought her guidance every day, and she patiently assisted him.

At that time, Jiang Ye didn't see it as much.

But after entering university, he realized he had actually been taking up Chen Zilu's post-class cultivation time.

Chen Zilu was already a student at White Dragon University, her teaching during that time was part-time, and her main focus was cultivation.

Jiang Ye occupied a lot of her cultivation time, yet Chen Zilu never said anything.

Besides loaning him 30,000 federation coins during sophomore year, which he had repaid long ago, the rest were all Chen Zilu's unilateral contributions.

Including this help, it's difficult to quantify with money.

Sometimes Jiang Ye felt puzzled, why was Chen Zilu so kind to him?

Just because he sought her out for a chat every day?

Could it have led to an emotional connection?

But she's the daughter of an extraordinary noble family, so beautiful, she shouldn't be lacking people to chat with.

In terms of appearance, Chen Zilu was already the most remarkable girl Jiang Ye had ever seen.

Even Shen Changxi couldn't compare.

"Didn't I just say?"

"Treat me to a meal." Chen Zilu smiled warmly, "That will count as your thank you."

"Just treating you to a meal doesn't seem enough." Jiang Ye shook his head.

"What else do you expect then?" Chen Zilu suddenly became curious.

"Let me think."

"After the meal, shall we do something else?" Jiang Ye smiled, "Senior Sister can decide, I'll follow your lead."

"..."

Chen Zilu looked at him with a peculiar expression, Are you sure you're talking about gratitude?

"Just the meal is fine." Chen Zilu lightly shook her head, "My cultivation time is quite tight."

In fact, finding time to come out for a meal was already quite difficult for her.

Ever since she went back to school, her cultivation schedule has been quite pressing.

"Alright."

Jiang Ye didn't say much, understanding that Chen Zilu had her own plans.

"I'm not refusing you, your intention alone is enough."

"As for anything else," Chen Zilu looked at him with captivating eyes, smiling, "Don't overthink it, improving yourself quickly is already gratitude to me."

"Alright." Jiang Ye nodded.

"Now, I'm going to cultivate." Chen Zilu winked at him charmingly.

"Okay, goodbye Senior Sister." Jiang Ye watched as that beautiful silhouette gradually faded away.

...

A moment later.

Jiang Ye stood in place, looking at his panel.

[Great Sun Spear Technique: Great Success (2%)]

"Not only did sparring with Senior Sister help me break through Great Success."

"It also directly boosted me by 2%," Jiang Ye thought, "The most important thing is she pointed out dozens of errors and omissions."

"Once perfected, my spear technique should have substantial progress."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"Senior Sister is truly wonderful!"

If it were not for Chen Zilu's assistance, Jiang Ye would have been stuck in this bottleneck phase for another ten days or half a month at least.

If unlucky, even months without a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Chen Zilu couldn't always enter the virtual battle space and practice spears with him.

Though the benefits to Jiang Ye were hard to imagine.

For Chen Zilu, battling Jiang Ye held no advantage at all.
