...After their brief meeting at the bar, Jiang Churan never spoke to Chen Fan again. Even when they cross paths at school, they just nod at each other without exchanging words....
Despite the gradual increase in distance with Jiang Churan, Chen Fan had already begun to get along well with Jiang Tanqiu. Although she wasn't too proud of having Chen Fan as her partner, she was at least willing to communicate with a new man and sometimes even get along with him. In the eyes of their classmates, Jiang Taniu was the closest person to becoming a friend to Chen Fan in the classroom.
One day, class leader Chang Wen came up to the two of them and said: "The school basketball team will train during the day. I want you two to help with the water bottles."
Before the two boys had a chance to say a word, Chang Wen had turned around and started.
Jiang Tanqiu complained softly, "Anything, he treats Si Yinxia like a god and treats us like dogs!"
He turned around and saw Chen Fan remain silent which Jiang Tanqiu had taken to agree to.
"You're too good to him. One day you will regret it!"
Chen Fan pretended not to hear his friend's complaint and remained silent.
After the two had lunch, they arrived at the basketball court. They found that most of the seats had already been taken by women. They scanned the court expectantly while whispering to each other from time to time. The substitutes were the first to go to court, but no one paid any attention to them. However, once Si Yinxia appeared, the entire stadium was filled with cheers and screams.
"Why hype?"
Although Chen Fan knew that Si Yinxia was the girl's idol, he was surprised by the girl's enthusiasm.
“This hotshot.” Jiang Tanqiu sighed. "I've seen more than four of her admirers who are at least as beautiful as our class leader. But he's not interested in any of them."
Chen Fan shook his head and then sighed.
He did not sigh in envy over the popularity of Si Yinxia; in the past five hundred years, he had traveled many galaxies, and had a fair share of beautiful goddesses die completely. These girls in their earthly bodies failed to live even a small part of the goddess's lofty beauty.
What he regretted about was seeing Yang Chao.
Surrounded by girls, it is evident that Yang Chao and Si Yinxia are both popular males among girls.
"Do you see the high? He was Yang Chao, the captain of the school team. He's quite a character, that one."
Jiang Tanqiu pointed to Yang Chao and said: "His father is the CEO of Tiansheng Hotel. It is said that even the cheapest food in the hotel will cost at least three thousand yuan. Someone had tagged him once, and he ended up dropping him "Get out of school with a broken leg. And guess what happened to Captain Yang? There's no."
Jiang Tanqiu said with a mixture of jealousy and hatred in his voice: "When will I become like him? That would be awesome."
While saying so, he glanced at Chen Fan at a glance and then sighed resignedly: "Forget it, What am I thinking? We and Yang Chao live in two different worlds."
Chen Fan smiled and said nothing.
The Jiang Tanqiu family was rich, but it was far different from the hundreds of millions of Yang family assets.
The training quickly turned into Si Yinxia's solo appearance. Whenever he could control the ball, he easily zigzagged past the opponent's defense and scored. Every time that happens, the gym is filled with female screams. Find the official novel in , faster updates, better experience , Please click www. .com to visit.
The training session ended with a remarkable win of 82 to 22. Yinxia alone got 30 points out of those 82 points.
Seeing that the match had ended, Chang Wen rushed to Si Yinxia and gave him a bottle of ice water. And then he took out a soft and warm towel and dried out Si Yinxia's sweaty forehead.
Meanwhile, Si Yinxia remained aloof and did not say a word to the girl.
"Jiang Tanqiu, Chen Fan, what are you two looking at? The other players need water!" Chang Wen looked at the two boys on the sidelines with a stern look and then said hotly.
“Come go.” Chen Fan patted Jiang Tanqiu on the shoulder and raised the coolant on his leg.
“Thank you.” Yang Chao took the drink before he could see who handed the drink to him. When he did, he was surprised to see that it was Chen Fan. A hundred different emotions ranging from shock to embarrassment churned and mixed within the team captain, and each appeared on his face in just a split second.
"What the hell is going on?" The player next to Yang Chao nudged him.
“Ah-it's okay.” Yang Chao smiled awkwardly.
"For a long time no see," Chen Fan nodded at him.
Chen Fan also wasted no time on him. After distributing the drinks, he quickly left with Jiang Tanqiu.
Only after Chen Fan disappeared from the court did Yang Chao sigh in relief as fear flickered in his eyes.
"Isn't that the new transfer student?" Si Yingxia asked Yang Chao while sipping his drink.
"Do you know him?" Yang Chao asked curiously.
"His name is Chen Fan, a new student in our class. I really didn't say anything about him. I asked him to come help with the water," Chang Wen said lightly.
In his eyes, Chen Fan was barely as attractive as Si Yinxia and Yang Chao. If he was not the class leader, which made him obliged to get to know every one of his classmates, he would never have breathed a single breath on him.
Yang Chao scowled and was about to say something, but he thought more about it. After all, what happened on KTV was embarrassing. He doesn't want to be a laughing stock.
Unbeknownst to all of them, Chen Fan could hear their conversation, and he was not too impressed by Chang Wen's ungrateful comments.
Time passed, and before Chen Fan realized it, two weeks had passed.
Tonight, like many the night before, Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the roof of his house and started cultivating. He has been hit by obstacles since September began. However, today, he felt that there was something different within him: the hurdle in his cultivation would be overcome soon.
"Hopefully, I will enter the mid stage of Foundation Establishment after tonight."
He sat still, and let the Void Mortal Refinement art do its job. The spirit Qi hidden in the surrounding air turned into countless wisps of energy, and they immersed themselves into Chen Fan's body through every hole and crack in his body.
As he gathered energy to break through the bottleneck, the Mortal Refinement Void art also increased in speed, spurring his body to hungryly absorb as much energy as possible.
The moon in the sky also seemed to have answered the art cue call as it sent a ray of light to Chen Fan. Looking from afar, Chen Fan's body was engulfed by a milky white light.
No cultivator was able to absorb the energy of celestial bodies like the sun and moon without the help of the Void Mortal Refinement art. This powerful art was able to transform a celestial entity into energy that could be absorbed by cultivators.
As the True Essence within Chen Fan's system gathered strength, he felt he was almost ready to break the bottleneck.
Almost, but not enough. Even the combined strength of the Spirit Qi and moon energy was not enough to overcome the resistance.
"Luckily, I hid some pills I made for Wei Fu."
He took out three Essence Enhancing Pills and swallowed them. As soon as the pill reached his stomach, Chen Fan felt a heat wave break through his system as a happy euphoria ruled his mind.
Finally, with a soft popping sound, he had broken through the barrier and reached the next stage of cultivation.
The countless cells that formed his body seemed to have merged together in a cheerful choir, singing welcome remarks to the new level of True Essence that flowed freely in his system.
Not only was the True Essence in his body enhanced, but Chen Fan's physical body was also strengthened significantly.
Thus, many cultivators viewed their practices as a form of evolution. Only through cultivation can humans elevate themselves from their mortal bodies to become one with the universe, and finally, eternity: the ultimate goal of evolution.
Although Chen Fan had reached the mid stage of Foundation Establishment, he looked just like him before. However, within Chen Fan, he might as well be a new man.
Chen Fan sighed and then stood up slowly.
After one month of hard training, he finally entered the mid stage of Foundation Establishment.
"If not for the Essence of Enhancing Pills, I would still have to fight for at least half a month. It seems that I should focus on making more money from now on so that I can buy more herbs."
Chen Fan thought to himself.
The next day, Chen Fan received a call, and surprisingly, it was from Zhou Tianhao.
Zhou Tianhao invited him to the Mingdu Restaurant during the day, saying that he wanted to apologize to him directly.
After giving the invitation some thought, Chen Fan agreed to leave.
