Chapter 35 : Chapter 35
Chapter 35. Breaking Through to the Fifth-Realm Grandmaster Level—Directly Invincible!
“I’m not going! No matter what anyone says, I refuse to watch that little bastard this time!”
Inside the room, Jiang Zhentian was, for once, unusually firm in front of Shen Qingyue.
Dressed in white silk sleepwear, Shen Qingyue let out a sigh. “Fine then. I’ll go watch Xiao Chen’s graduation assessment.”
Jiang Zhentian froze for a moment, then pulled his wife into his arms and tried to persuade her earnestly. “Didn’t I already tell you about all the outrageous things that brat has done these past three days? How can you still not bring yourself to be harsh with him?”
Worry filled Shen Qingyue’s face. He was her child, after all.
Even if Xiao Chen was facing his graduation assessment and still only cared about pleasure, ignoring the fact that the Jiang family was about to lose the Su family as an ally and be isolated by the other great families...
As a mother, how could she truly bring herself not to care about her own son?
“I don’t care whether you strip Xiao Chen of his status as heir or not, but the graduation assessment is the equivalent of the college entrance exam before the Great Cataclysm. I have to go.”
Jiang Zhentian’s face tightened. “Do you know who invited me to watch the graduation ceremony?”
“The Zhou family?”
“That’s right. Zhou Mingyuan, the principal of Huazhong University, will definitely invite Su Zhan too. He clearly wants everyone to watch me make a fool of myself,” Jiang Zhentian said with a cold snort.
Shen Qingyue immediately understood. Her husband cared more about saving face outside than anything else. Even if you beat him to death, he still would not go watch Xiao Chen embarrass him.
“That only makes it more appropriate for me to go. That way, you won’t lose face.”
Seeing the determination on his wife’s face, Jiang Zhentian thought for a moment and finally nodded.
“Go then, go then. I’m holding a family council tomorrow night as well. Once the results come out, I plan to hand the heir position to Jiang Feng. What do you think?”
Shen Qingyue pondered for a long while before finally nodding.
“Among the younger generation of the family, Jiang Feng has the best talent and is the most diligent and ambitious. He has been helping his father manage the group since he was young, so he has the ability to shoulder the Jiang family’s burden.”
She could only agree. Xiao Chen truly was too disappointing.
Poor talent would have been one thing, but now he was not even willing to work hard. He was squandering money and wasting away.
Handing the Jiang family’s future to Xiao Chen would be a disaster.
Jiang Zhentian gave a quiet hum. After hesitating a moment, he said, “Then I’ll announce it tomorrow night.”
...
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your realm has reached ‘Fifth-Realm Grandmaster.’】
Early that morning, Jiang Yichen was once again woken by the system’s beautiful voice.
A fifth-realm Grandmaster!
In his previous life, after finally coming to his senses, he had exhausted countless resources and fought with everything he had just to reach the fifth-realm Grandmaster level.
Now, only four or five days after being reborn, he had already reached the peak of his previous life.
This leveling speed... no, wait, this cheat was way too absurd.
Jiang Yichen happily opened his status panel.
【Host: Jiang Yichen
Realm: Fifth Realm, Level 0 (Automatic Cultivation Progress: 3.5%)

(Current automatic cultivation speed: ‘0.5%/hour.’ Maximum reached. Cannot be increased further. Automatic cultivation speed will decrease reasonably according to cultivation difficulty!)】
Just looking at that panel made him feel refreshed.
Jiang Yichen took off his clothes and stepped onto the balcony, bathing in the morning light. Blood Qi surged through his body, crackling like firecrackers.
He threw a punch, and space rippled. The wind from his fist snapped branches off a tree not far away.
If he circulated the Void Scripture, he could even make his fist appear instantly ten thousand meters away.
Jiang Yichen’s spiritual power had also risen dramatically. He could clearly perceive every movement within several hundred meters around him.
And when combined with the space laws of the Void Scripture, his perception extended to everything within ten thousand meters.
Holy shit!
This was simply invincible.
Jiang Yichen let out a long breath, withdrew his power, and felt thoroughly satisfied.
If this were put into the graduation assessment, he was completely an overpowered monster.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just as Jiang Yichen was immersed in the joy of leveling up, someone knocked on the door.
“Brother Yichen, the written exam starts at nine. It’s almost seven now, so do not be late.”
Hearing Su Linyu’s voice, Jiang Yichen froze for a moment and immediately went to open the door.
“Wasn’t your dad keeping an eye on you? How did you get here?”
“I-I... snuck out... Brother Yichen, your body is amazing~”
Hm?
Only then did Jiang Yichen remember that he was not wearing a shirt. Sure enough, Su Linyu’s cheeks were flushed red, and her phoenix eyes were fixed tightly on his abs.
This girl was acting lovestruck again.
“Brother Yichen, can I kiss... no, no, hug... no, no, touch them?” Su Linyu asked with a face full of anticipation.
Wow, wow! So Brother Yichen’s body is this good? I’m completely captivated.
What do I do? What do I do? I want to touch it so badly.
“...” Jiang Yichen twitched at the corner of his mouth. “What kind of scandalous nonsense are you saying? Let me get dressed first.”
The door closed, and a trace of disappointment flashed across Su Linyu’s face, but even more than that, she was thrilled.
She had actually seen Brother Yichen’s abs. Ahhh, Brother Yichen was so charming.
Su Linyu pressed both hands to her burning cheeks, replaying the scene over and over in her mind. The smile at her lips was even harder to suppress than an AK.
By the time Jiang Yichen changed clothes and came back out, Su Linyu was still swooning, completely immersed in what she had just seen.
Jiang Yichen shook his head helplessly and walked over to the dining table to eat the breakfast she had made.
Beside the lunchbox was an exquisite pencil case. When he opened it, he found all the tools needed for the exam inside—pencils, fountain pens, erasers, and more.
There was also a little charm hanging from the pencil case, with the words:
“Brother Yichen, wishing you top marks and victory at the first stroke. Do your best! Go, go, go!”
Jiang Yichen burst out laughing. Being with Su Linyu made him feel like a child being taken care of.
He did not have to worry about anything at all.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Yichen flicked Su Linyu lightly on the forehead. “Let’s go. Time for school.”
Su Linyu, who had been daydreaming like a lovestruck fool, finally came back to herself and answered with a smile, but her eyes still drifted toward Jiang Yichen’s stomach from time to time.
When the two of them reached the main entrance, Uncle Feng was already waiting by the car.
“Young Master, Miss Su, please get in.”
Jiang Yichen glanced at the time. There was still an hour left, and the villa was not far from the academy, only one or two kilometers away.
He looked at Su Linyu, and a sudden thought struck him. “How about we walk there instead?”
Compared to riding in a car or using a teleportation talisman, a leisurely stroll seemed much more interesting.
A life of slacking off without finding some fun in it would be far too dull.
“Sure, sure! Back in high school, we always went to and from school together. It’s been four years since I last went to school with Brother Yichen.”
Su Linyu agreed excitedly, secretly delighted.
From elementary school through high school, the two of them had always gone to school together and come home together, inseparable.
But after university began, Brother Yichen fell for Lin Wan, and that stopped completely. Even if she only followed behind him, he would scold her.
“Then let’s go.”
Jiang Yichen smiled and strolled leisurely down the morning streets.
Su Linyu walked beside him, while Uncle Feng and the bodyguards followed behind.
“Brother Yichen, I’ve noticed that you’ve really changed lately. I can feel that you do not dislike me anymore.”
Su Linyu spoke as they walked.
Although her father had said Brother Yichen was only using her to help manage his team and to keep her father from completely breaking with the Jiang family...
After spending the past few days with him, she had gradually realized that the disgust in Brother Yichen’s eyes was gone.
She did not know why. She did not know whether it was really like her father had said.
Jiang Yichen smiled. “Do not think so much. Treasure the present.”
Su Linyu blinked, thought about it for a moment, and then smiled. “All right. Then today I wish that everything Brother Yichen knows will appear on the exam, and everything you guess will be right. Go, go, go!”
She really was an energetic girl overflowing with spirit.
Jiang Yichen knew that Su Linyu was deeply worried inside, but she did not want him to see it.
In his previous life, even when her parents threatened to sever ties with her, Su Linyu had still refused to agree to dissolving their engagement.
That alone showed how important their engagement was to her.
As Jiang Yichen walked slowly, these peaceful moments always made him think about many things.
Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at the gates of Huazhong University.
Looking at the bright red banners hanging above the school gate, and the endless stream of examinees...
Just as they were about to go in, a familiar figure suddenly entered their line of sight.
“Jiang Yichen! Stop right there!”
Jiang Yichen froze, then turned his head. Sure enough, it was Lin Wan, dressed somewhat plainly, walking toward them with an expression as if he owed her money.
“Why are the two of you together? Jiang Yichen, are you really going to turn a fake act into the real thing with her just to make me angry?”
Hearing Lin Wan’s accusation, Jiang Yichen was dumbfounded.
Oh, this was bad. She had clearly forgotten to bring her brain today.
“I admit that I went a little too far at the graduation ceremony, but weren’t you at fault too?
I can apologize to you. Fine, I’m sorry. But you have to apologize to me too.”
With her chin raised proudly, Lin Wan huffed and said, “There, I apologized, okay? Now you apologize to me too, and then we’ll get back together.”
???
What the hell? Was there something wrong with her head?
Jiang Yichen was so irritated he nearly laughed. Who the hell wanted to get back together with her?
