Chapter 117: Chapter 114: Obtaining the Items Smoothly

"Could you guys leave for a moment?"

Hearing Ji Zhixing’s words, Zhou Chenghong and Director Wu’s expressions stiffened. But immediately after, the first half of what he had just said surfaced in their minds.

"Elite class?"

They were naturally well aware of what the elite class of Yu City University entailed. Almost all the elite class students who graduated from Yu City University were Tier 3 Genetic Cultivators. Furthermore, as long as they were graduates of this class, they could easily grasp immense power if they entered the system. After all, out of the six to seven million people in the entire Yu City Base City, only a few hundred could enter Yu City University’s elite class each year. Once these people graduated, they would become highly sought after by major factions regardless of where they went.

Thinking of this, Director Wu’s expression rapidly changed.

"Ji Xiaoyou is truly a promising young man! Good, good. Since you have business with Teacher He, we’ll take our leave now and won’t delay you any longer," Director Wu said hastily, his tone countless times more polite than before. He withdrew his outstretched hand, gave a slight bow, and immediately turned around to head for the door.

Zhou Chenghong followed behind him, the two walking in tandem. When Zhou Chenghong reached the door, he glanced back at Ji Zhixing and opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn’t dare to speak. Although he was the principal of Yu City Third Middle School and a Tier 2 Genetic Cultivator himself, he was absolutely nothing in front of an elite class student from Yu City University. After stepping out of the office, he immediately closed the door behind them.

The office fell silent. Ji Zhixing looked at the closed door, retracted his gaze, and turned to He Yanbing.

"Teacher He, are you alright?"

"I’m fine," He Yanbing shook her head, a faint smile appearing on her face. "I should be thanking you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to deal with them."

After saying that, she felt slightly awkward. After all, this wasn’t exactly a glorious matter, and she was Ji Zhixing’s teacher. However, she quickly recalled his earlier words and stared at him. "Zhixing, did you really enter the elite class of Yu City University?"

"Yeah," Ji Zhixing nodded. "I got in. But I’m different from the others. I was exceptionally recruited into the elite class because the gene I fused in another gene aperture also evolved to Tier 2."

"That’s still incredibly strong," He Yanbing said, her face brimming with joy. "After all, that’s Yu City University’s elite class."

She looked at Ji Zhixing, her heart filled with mixed emotions. A few months ago, when Ji Zhixing chose the Three-inch Stone Monkey gene, everyone thought he was a lost cause. Who could have imagined that not only would he self-recommend his way into Yu City University, but he would also enter their elite class?

"It is pretty strong," Ji Zhixing smiled. "But if you hadn’t helped me back then, Teacher, I couldn’t have mastered the basic staff technique so quickly, and I might have missed out on many opportunities."

"That’s because you lived up to expectations," He Yanbing waved her hand. "I only did my duty."

Meanwhile, after leaving the office, Director Wu and Zhou Chenghong walked down the corridor with rather ugly expressions, neither speaking first.

It wasn’t until they went downstairs that Zhou Chenghong couldn’t help but ask, "Director Wu, did that Ji Zhixing really enter the elite class of Yu City University?"

"If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?" Director Wu shot him a cross look. "But the fact remains that we cannot afford to offend him.

"During Yu City University’s freshmen trial this time, his points even surpassed that prodigy from the genius class who fused a Tier 5 Radiant Moon-grade gene."

Hearing this, Zhou Chenghong drew a sharp breath. A Tier 5 Radiant Moon-grade gene was an existence he couldn’t even fathom. And Ji Zhixing had actually surpassed someone like that in points?

"Handle this matter as you see fit," Director Wu waved his hand. "I’ll be taking my leave."

With that said, he walked briskly toward the school gate, his hurried footsteps making it seem as if he was afraid of running into Ji Zhixing again. He made up his mind that as long as Ji Zhixing remained safe and sound, he would never target He Yanbing again. A student from Yu City University’s elite class was not someone he could afford to provoke.

"Goodbye, Teacher. I’ll head back first."

Back in the office, after chatting with He Yanbing for another ten minutes or so, Ji Zhixing stood up to take his leave.

"I’ll walk you out." He Yanbing shook her head. She escorted him all the way to the gate of Yu City Third Middle School and watched his back disappear before turning to head back inside.

BUZZ!

Not long after leaving Yu City Third Middle School and walking down the street, Ji Zhixing’s phone suddenly vibrated.

"How did it go?"

He took out his phone and saw it was a message from Xiao Mingyue. He immediately replied, "The matter is settled. But it’s getting a bit late today, do you still want to head out?"

A few seconds after the message was sent, his phone rang.

"It doesn’t matter if it’s late." He pressed the answer button, and Xiao Mingyue’s voice came through. "The sooner we get the Earth Spirit Liquid, the sooner you can break through to Tier 3."

Ji Zhixing nodded. "Alright then. Where are we meeting?"

"The East Gate of the base city. Send me a message when you arrive, and I’ll drive over to find you."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Ji Zhixing hailed a taxi by the roadside. The car drove all the way east and stopped at the East Gate of Yu City Base City. Ji Zhixing paid the fare, pushed the door open to get out, and stood waiting by the road.

About ten minutes later, a black off-road vehicle approached from a distance and pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Xiao Mingyue’s face.

"Get in." She waved at Ji Zhixing.

Ji Zhixing pulled the car door open and sat in the passenger seat.
