School proceeded as usual with various combat activities and training sessions across the available fields.

At this moment, on a particular field, Liu Qian stood, her gaze fixed on five thick wooden planks arranged in a row.

The challenge from the teacher today involved harnessing inner strength. The students were allowed to touch only the first wooden plank and strike it using their inner power.

She touched the foremost plank, her focus intense. Moments later, she pushed her hand slightly forward, and a resounding "Crack!" filled the air.

Three out of five planks shattered.

Liu Qian felt a tinge of disappointment, but the watching students erupted into applause.

The training session concluded, and break time descended upon the school. While numerous students made their way to the cafeteria, a dedicated group continued their relentless practice, their collective determination set ablaze by the looming challenge of qualifying for the prestigious Han Empire Survival Competition.

Sitting with his six friends, Long Tian engaged in friendly conversation while having lunch.

"You know what? I overheard my father talking to masked individuals about the imminent changes in our world," Dong Kun suddenly said.

His words piqued the curiosity of the other five, including Long Tian.

"What do you mean?" Li Guowu asked, intrigued.

"Like I said, my father and some masked people were discussing the upcoming changes. I didn't hear all the details, but they mentioned soul beasts, ancient temples, and ancient families," Dong Kun responded.

Hearing this, everyone became even more interested.

"Your father is a high-ranking official in the empire, right? It sounds like they're discussing something serious," Bai Li remarked.

"Like what? Creating a virus that will disrupt the entire world again?" Li Guowu chimed in, his tone sarcastic.

"Whoa, calm down, buddy," Dong Kun quickly responded.

"Hehe, Li Guowu, lucky we're in school," Bai Li chuckled.

"Wow, my eyes are blinded by the brilliance of such fact."

"You never know; there might be spies around here, hahaha."

They chatted and joked, with Long Tian smiling and shaking his head at their banter.

However, he was quite intrigued by what Dong Kun had mentioned. The world was about to change, and the empire was involved...

In the original plot, he didn't know much about this, but he was aware that the world would undergo a Reiki restoration, where Reiki would become incredibly abundant.

Due to this vast amount of Reiki, more people could cultivate, and even those who previously couldn't cultivate would be able to do so.

But of course, it would make the world unbalanced; due to the Reiki factor, soul beasts would become stronger and even evolve.

Riing~ Riing~

The bell rang, signaling the end of the break. Students started leaving the cafeteria and heading back to the field, including Li Guowu and the others.

However, Bai Li noticed that Long Tian didn't leave with them. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm going to the restroom real quick," Long Tian replied casually.

"Okay," Bai Li nodded.

With that, they started making their way back to the field, leaving Long Tian behind.

Long Tian walked through the school corridor; the atmosphere felt quiet as most students had returned to their classrooms or the fields.

After a few moments of walking, he approached the restroom area. However, he suddenly spotted Li Yue'er.

"Hey, Yue'er," he greeted.

Li Yue'er, who was about to open the restroom's door, turned to the side upon hearing the familiar voice. She saw Long Tian walking towards her.

"Hi, are you going to the toilet too?" she inquired.

"Yeah," Long Tian nodded. Then, his eyes scanned the surroundings, finding no one else present. A mischievous grin formed on his lips. "Maybe we can go in together and have a little fun."

Li Yue'er's cheeks flushed. "Long Tian, this is on school grounds!" she whispered, her tone earnest. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"It's not a big deal. Let's head to the women's restroom," Long Tian said.

"But what if we get caught?" Li Yue'er said, her worry evident.

"Come on, it's okay," Long Tian reassured, immediately taking Li Yue'er's hand and entering the women's restroom.

Li Yue'er could only follow, feeling embarrassed yet also curious...

On the other hand, Liu Qian and her four friends strolled together in the corridor. They engaged in lively conversation, but Liu Qian seemed somewhat distressed.

Her mother had instructed her to invite Long Tian for dinner, but she was puzzled about how to initiate the conversation with her.

She felt she had moved on from the horrific incident a few weeks ago when Long Tian had killed Ye Chen right in front of her, but she still felt awkward around him.

"Hey, Qian'er, are you even listening to me?" a voice sounded, snapping Liu Qian back to reality.

"Did you say something, Zhu Qing?" Liu Qian asked.

"Oh my, Qian'er, weren't you listening? I was talking quite extensively as we walked," Zhu Qing said, sighing.

"My apologies, I was lost in thought," Liu Qian responded.

"Hehe, is it about a guy? Oh, by the way, I haven't heard any news about Ye Chen. Where did he go?" Zhu Qing asked curiously.

The other two friends also showed curiosity. It wasn't a secret among them that Ye Chen had been dating Liu Qian.

However, Liu Qian shook her head. "I don't know where he went. Maybe he moved to another country," she said.

"What? Moved to another country? Are you sure?" Zhu Qing asked in disbelief.

"Please, I don't want to talk about it. He's just a part of the past," Liu Qian said. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

"Well, if my Liu Qian says so, I won't bring it up again. But I always wondered why you accepted his feelings. Ye Chen was totally not worthy of you," Zhu Qing remarked.

"Come on, you said you wouldn't talk about it anymore, yet you're gossiping again," Liu Qian snapped.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I just wanted to express my thoughts," Zhu Qing said.

Liu Qian just shook her head. She certainly couldn't explain that Ye Chen was already dead, so she had to resort to lying.

Zhu Qing gently pushed open the door, revealing it was the entrance to the women's restroom.
