Chapter 50 : The Acceptance Letter
50: The Acceptance Letter
Yuyin, wearing the long dress that subtly revealed her lovely figure, returned to her apartment building, walking down the dimly lit hallway.
She arrived at her door and was about to bend down to insert her key.
Suddenly, from the darkness came a few quick steps. In less than a second, a hand reached out to grope her bottom, covered only by the thin fabric of her dress!
An ordinary person? Yuyin had not sensed any fluctuation of Primordial Energy, but the movement was enough for her to react. She suddenly sidestepped and spun away, simultaneously kicking at the figure whose grab had missed.
Thud.
Yuyin had controlled her force, but the kick still sent the man's head crashing into the clutter piled in the hallway, and he couldn't get up.
It turned out to be a pervert trying to cop a feel.
Yuyin didn't recognize him, but this short, fat, sleazy middle-aged man was the same one who often peeked at her from the crack in the opposite door. Today, seeing Yuyin in such a thin dress from behind, he couldn't resist and had made his move.
Yuyin called the police immediately.
When the police arrived, they discovered the man was a repeat offender who had been arrested several times before for molesting women. They took him away. However, as the sleazy middle-aged man was being led away, he suddenly turned back and gave Yuyin a strange look. The officer who stayed behind praised Yuyin a few times but also advised her that a young woman living alone should be careful about her safety and try not to dress too provocatively.
Back in her home, Yuyin looked at the mottled, worn-out room and thought that it was time to move. The residents here were too mixed. Although she wasn't afraid, it would cause a lot of trouble. Besides, what if she went out and her underwear was stolen?
Lingdu Source Martial Academy was located in the southwestern suburbs of Lingdu and occupied a vast area. Yuyin figured that even if she enrolled, she would definitely live on campus.
But even students who lived on campus had homes to return to. Considering that she would eventually break through to become a Source Martial Practitioner and needed space for cultivation and other things, Yuyin decided to rent a new apartment.
As for the location, she might as well choose the city center. It was convenient to get anywhere, and she had the money now.
After making her decision, Yuyin acted immediately. She downloaded a rental app and started searching.
She selected a few properties and went to see them the next day. After some comparison, she finally chose a high-rise apartment building near the subway, in a bustling area but quiet and secluded.
It was a top-floor duplex, 260 square meters in area, with a double-height living room, floor-to-ceiling windows facing a city park, and was uniformly decorated by the developer. It had never been rented out, but it was unfurnished.
With such a prime location and layout, it was a "king unit," and the rent wasn't cheap either: thirty-six thousand a month. Yuyin really liked this place and casually asked how much it would be to buy. She was told twenty-eight million, not including taxes… Yuyin didn't ask any further.
She had earned one point five million from the underground fighting arena, but in a place like Magic City, that money wasn't really much.
Yuyin was decisive. She paid three months' rent in advance plus a one-month deposit and hired a moving company to move in that very day. After all, she only needed to find the time to fight in a few underground matches, and earning a few hundred thousand a month was very easy. This rent was completely affordable for her now.
"Sigh…" Yuyin looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the park, which resembled a small jungle, and the surrounding night view with its flickering lights. In that night sky, she could see the beautiful, phantom-like sight of demons roaming. She couldn't help but feel her body and mind relax.
"This place is really nice," Yuyin said, her face slightly flushed.
Thinking back to when she first arrived in Magic City, the kind of place she lived in… small, and shabby. Yuyin could endure that, but there were also perverts…
But Yuyin held no complaints. Even a place like that was an independent studio apartment, which many people who come to the big city to work might not be able to afford.
Right now, however, she was truly content.
It was just that the apartment was fully furnished with hard finishes but had no furniture.
The next day, Yuyin ordered some furniture and also various pieces of fitness equipment. Yuyin wasn't too concerned about the cost; the key was that they were in stock.
Once the furniture, treadmill, and other fitness equipment arrived, Yuyin began to copy out the Female Body Cultivation Copy in her north-facing study. With a desk and chair, she didn't have to kneel by her bed with her butt in the air to copy it, which greatly improved her efficiency.
In the afternoon, after she finished copying, she had only glanced through it when the voice of the female will sounded.
"I have discovered a damaged copy, riddled with errors and omissions. For 50 Soul Charm Point, it can be restored to the original, authentic version."
"Okay, then… wait, 50 Soul Charm Point!??" Yuyin had earned a lot of Soul Charm Point recently, but she couldn't afford to spend it like this.
"After restoration, it will be a high-grade, Dharma-level secret technique."
"High-grade Dharma-level… wait, which is more powerful, high-grade Dharma-level or high-grade Scholar-level?"
"The Dharma-level is one tier higher than the Scholar-level. A low-grade Dharma-level technique is superior to a high-grade Scholar-level technique," the female will replied.
"I see."
So, a high-grade Dharma-level technique was truly an incredible tier. After all, her own Polaris Sword Art was only a middle-grade Dharma-level technique.
A good thing was never too expensive.
"Then optimize it," Yuyin decided.
With a flash of brilliant light, the incomprehensible power within the God-Devouring Chess space had already finished optimizing the technique.
With a thought, Yuyin checked.
"Imperial Daughter's Body Cultivation, First Volume?"
The optimization even changed the name?
Yuyin immediately began to watch the cultivation demonstration of the golden female figure, only to discover that apart from a few basic movements at the beginning, most of the later movements required a partner, and some even needed mechanical devices.
She checked the original app again. There was no mention of dual cultivation.
"This is quite a change…" But of course, Yuyin trusted the secret techniques within the God-Devouring Chess. If she was going to cultivate, she might as well cultivate the best.
"Dual Cultivation?" The first person Yuyin thought of was Yingluo. However, after looking at the demonstration and description for a little while, she realized it wouldn't work. According to the demonstration and description, this Imperial Daughter's dual body cultivation required a partner with a very high Primordial Energy value. The requirements for strength and technique were also extremely high. Yingluo… although their Dual Cultivation had achieved some success, she was still far from meeting the standard and simply couldn't do it.
But Yuyin wasn't familiar with any other women with particularly high Primordial Energy values…
Oh, right. After she got into Lingdu Source Martial Academy. All the girls who could get in there would have high Primordial Energy values. Then, perhaps she could find a like-minded female classmate to cultivate with.
So Yuyin just started practicing the basic movements first.
Now that she had a private space, the female figure in the demonstration wore very little. Although Yuyin didn't understand its mysteries, she could boldly imitate it.
Although they were just basic movements, after a few days of cultivation, her body's basic endurance, flexibility, strength, and explosive power had all significantly improved. The effect was equivalent to eating one White Ape Fruit a week. For one, White Ape Fruits were hard to find. For another, the effects of eating the fruit would diminish over time, but she hadn't noticed any significant diminishing effect with this Imperial Daughter's Body Cultivation. It seemed to have a very high ceiling.
This week, Yuyin lived comfortably. Her training was also very fulfilling and relaxing. She no longer had to be discreet, worrying about whether the curtains were drawn or if she was disturbing others.
A week later, the physical fitness test for the Source Martial College Entrance Exam. Yuyin easily passed with a perfect score for girls. However, this time, Yuyin didn't go all out. She just made sure to get a perfect score. Otherwise, if she accidentally broke another record, it would mean more trouble.
In early July, the academic exams also took place. Yuyin performed quite well and managed to barely pass the cutoff for a First Tier university. However, even among Source Martial examinees, there were many top students, so this score wasn't particularly outstanding.
After the exams, they returned to school to fill out their applications.
"Yuyin, have you decided on your application? Lingdu Source Martial Academy?" Yingluo, who hadn't shown her face or even sent Yuyin a message for a long time, came over to ask. She must have been busy with her academic review. At this point, everyone had graduated and would soon go their separate ways, so of course they couldn't call her "President" anymore.
"Yes, and you?" Yuyin nodded confidently.
Unexpectedly, Yingluo just gave a mysterious smile. "You'll find out when the time comes."
"I got into a sports school. I want to be a P.E. teacher in the future," Xu Weiwei said, clenching her small fist and looking at the setting sun.
"I didn't even make the cutoff for a vocational school, hehe, but that was within my expectations. I plan to join the army," Xiao Huohuo said.
"I heard Liu Li applied to the Lin'an Source Martial Academy in the provincial capital, not too far from Lingdu," Weiwei said, sitting on Yuyin's desk.
When Teacher Xie, their homeroom teacher, received Yuyin's application, she gave Yuyin a meaningful nod. She probably understood that Yuyin's unimaginably high Primordial Energy score had little to do with her, but she was still genuinely happy for Yuyin. "Classmates, after we graduate, this group for our third-year class won't be disbanded. Everyone can still come back and chat," Teacher Xie said to them with a smile.
But for some reason, everyone felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts. Perhaps this was the taste of parting… As they were leaving school, Yuyin and Yingluo agreed to Dual Cultivate again during the summer vacation. She had originally wanted to get together with a few of her good girlfriends for a drink, but Yuyin was mysteriously called over by the Dean of Studies.
When she got to the principal's office, she learned that because she was the top-scoring examinee, Huaxia Nation was awarding her one million, and Lingdu City was also awarding her five hundred thousand. This money would be transferred to her account in a month's time.
It was a good thing. Yuyin had just spent a lot of money, so thinking about it, the trouble of being a little famous didn't seem so bad.
As the sun set, Yuyin walked alone on the campus. She wondered if she would ever return to this place again.
"Xia Yuyin."
Long Xiaotian had been waiting there for a long time, his long shadow stretched out under the golden sunlight.
"I failed to keep my promise. But, one day, when I become a truly indomitable powerhouse, I will come and find you!"
With that, Long Xiaotian lowered his head, not waiting for Yuyin's reply, and walked away with his hands in his pockets, his back to her.
Long Xiaotian was already far away. Yuyin looked at the school building. The banner wishing the students success in the college entrance exam was still fluttering gently in the wind. She stood silently for a moment, then walked out of the school gate.

About a week later, Yuyin received the acceptance letter from Lingdu Source Martial Academy.
