The Second Layer of Penglai Celestial Tower.

On the Star Sky Square.

Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, a vast golden star river poured down from above like a baptism over his head.

This was the Penglai Gift!

"The gift from the Second Layer of Penglai Celestial Tower is indeed much better than the First Layer." Jiang Ye thought to himself.

He could feel it.

As the golden star river washed over him, his physical strength and life level were continuously rising.

Not only that.

Jiang Ye's physique was also slowly increasing under the Penglai Gift.

"Now I am already an Upper B Level Profound Body."

"A further step? That would be an A Level Profound Body." Jiang Ye shook his head quietly: "Just one Penglai Gift is unlikely to promote me."

The difference between an A Level Profound Body and a B Level Profound Body is vast.

This is evident when comparing Shi Ting and Tang Wuji.

Shi Ting is only a Lower A Level Profound Body, but her realm and strength far exceed that of Tang Wuji, who is a B Level Profound Body.

Moreover,

talented individuals with an A Level Profound Body have far superior innate abilities than those with a B Level Profound Body.

Fortunately for Jiang Ye, whether his physique upgrades doesn't really matter.

"This Penglai Gift can at least enhance my strength by over thirty percent." Jiang Ye silently felt.

That was enough.

Increasing strength by thirty percent in a short time, even the Primordial Star Sky Refinement can't be this fast!

...

Time passed.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ye exited the Penglai Celestial Tower and returned to Villa No. 41.

Without doing anything unnecessary.

He held the 'Enlightenment Divine Jade' and continued cultivating the White Dragon True Divine Scripture, absorbing the Penglai Gift.

Until nine in the evening.

[White Dragon True Divine Scripture (Upper Section): Entry Not Achieved (19%) → (20%)]

A panel notification quietly appeared.

Jiang Ye ignored it and continued to cultivate.

Half an hour later, he finally opened his eyes and stopped cultivating the True Divine Scripture.

"Finally broke through the 20% barrier." Jiang Ye slowly exhaled.

The White Dragon True Divine Scripture, like other cultivation techniques, becomes significantly harder to cultivate with every 10% progress.

Going from 19% to 20% is quite a difficult bottleneck.

Though not as terrifying as a major bottleneck, it trapped Jiang Ye for a week.

The cultivation difficulty of a third-level civilization's inheritance is evident from the early period.

"Fortunately, the progress is remarkable." Jiang Ye clenched his fist.

Felt it again.

The power within him grew by another two to three percent.

Adding the thirty percent increase from the previous Penglai Gift, in just one day, he had improved by over fifty percent!

How strong is Jiang Ye's current strength? Even he wasn't very sure.

"The day after tomorrow is when the Genius Cup begins."

"These two days, there's not much more that can be improved." Jiang Ye closed his eyes and pondered: "Might as well go to the independent Starry Sky, to break through to the Star Sky Second Rank."

Zhu Honglie once said.

If you can break into the Star Sky Second Rank, it's equivalent to the top ten in the Genius Cup.

Now, Jiang Ye already possesses this kind of strength.

"Promoting to the Second Rank, the school will also reward 50 million Federation currency."

At this thought, Jiang Ye immediately opened his eyes and got up to the virtual cabin.

Entered the virtual chamber.

"Beep!" Consciousness connected.

...

In the independent Starry Sky, in the resting hall.

Jiang Ye's figure appeared.

Along with this, a battle record panel also appeared before him.

[Name: Jiang Ye]

[Rank: 1st Rank (290/300)]

[Matches: 2025]

[Win Rate: 59%]

"The win rate rose from 50% to 59%." A smile appeared on Jiang Ye's lips.

Under the independent Starry Sky's special matching mechanism, to have the win rate increase so much in just two months already speaks volumes.

Jiang Ye's strength has already far surpassed the level of Star Sky First Rank!

"Just a few more matches and I can break through to Second Rank." Jiang Ye didn't think much more: "Let's begin."

Pressed the matching button.

[Matching starts, searching for an opponent for you.]

[Matching successful!]

Whoosh! Jiang Ye's form instantly transformed into a virtual shadow, vanishing from the resting hall.

...

As Jiang Ye began attacking the Star Sky Second Rank.

Penglai University, Earth Character Area, in an independent villa.

Zhao Qingli, with her white legs crossed, was diligently cultivating.

Suddenly.

"Buzz buzz!" Her phone lit up.

"Is it mom?" Zhao Qingli picked up her phone, feeling a slight shock.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call.

"Beep~" A mature and beautiful woman in a green dress slowly emerged.

Though she was already in her forties, she did not look old at all, her skin fair and tender, her body mature, exuding a timeless charm.

She was Zhao Qingli's mother, Chen Qingyun.

"Qingli." The beautiful woman looked at the girl, her voice very gentle.

"Mom." Zhao Qingli looked at her mother: "What's up? Calling unexpectedly."

"Don't play dumb."

"Your dad already told me about it." Chen Qingyun said: "You can't use that much cultivation resources yourself."

"Tell mother, who did you sell them to?"

Zhao Qingli felt a slight shock in her heart.

However, she had long known that this matter would be discovered, so she wasn't too flustered at this moment.

"I sold them to my classmate." Zhao Qingli said truthfully.

"Qingli, you should know, those are family resources."

"In principle, they can't be sold to outsiders." Chen Qingyun looked at her daughter: "If word gets out, it will disrupt market prices."

Zhao Qingli looked elsewhere and murmured: "I know, but he's my good friend."

"Good friend?"

Chen Qingyun smiled and asked: "Boy or girl?"

"Boy." Zhao Qingli seemed worried her mother would scold her, explaining: "He's a genius at our school, about to participate in the Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup, with a chance to win."

"Genius Cup? Win?"

"Is his name Jiang Ye?" Chen Qingyun raised an eyebrow.
