"Awesome!"
On the small campus road in the early morning, dew hung on the leaves, ready to drop at any moment.
Amidst this sudden shout, even though the leaves were unprepared, they still trembled slightly and the dew fell to the ground, merging with the soil.
Running in sync with the falling droplets was a swiftly passing figure.
"Wait for me!"
Nezha followed behind, his face expressing exhaustion.
"What's with running so early in the morning."
Nezha looked helplessly at the figure ahead, he wasn't particularly happy.
But then again, who would be happy being dragged out of bed at the crack of dawn?
"You don't get it, you don't understand the joy of running."
Jiang Yuan, who had successfully cured his weakness, was happily frolicking in front, overjoyed.
Before, even walking a few steps was exhausting, let alone running like this, bathed in sweat.
Now it's different, not to mention a morning run like this; even faster paces are no issue.
Even if he was tired, it was far better than that previous powerless feeling.
"Why drag me along?"
"Seeing you stand on the Wind and Fire Wheel every day, I thought I'd get you to train a bit."
Seeing Nezha's drained appearance, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Train a bit..."
Nezha felt helpless, his physical strength didn't exactly improve just from training.
Isn't my physical strength supposed to unlock step by step as you break through your realm?
Nezha glanced at Jiang Yuan with disdain, but seeing Jiang Yuan dash forward again, he could only follow along.
"Don't always drag me along, Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji also need to train," Nezha said, catching up to Jiang Yuan with a little force: "I was stoking fires for Lao Jun last night for quite a while."
"They all have no time," replied Jiang Yuan while running and counting on his fingers for Nezha: "Shi Ji is off to the library to understand Undead Magic, to create his own skills."
"Zhao Gongming is the same; he went to the Academy's database early in the morning to check out Thunder Attribute skills."
"Not to mention Lao Jun, every day he's busy Artifact Refining, aside from studying the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures guide."
Continuing, Jiang Yuan looked at Nezha: "While you lie leisurely on the sofa every day, watching TV, eating grapes, do you know the psychological shadow you cast on them?"
"But do you realize, dragging me out for a run so early, what kind of psychological shadow it casts on me?"
Despite saying this weakly, Nezha still steadily followed Jiang Yuan.
"Relax, relax, I'll take you to class later."
"I don't want to, I want to lie on the sofa at home and watch TV," Nezha refused without hesitation.
However, it seemed Jiang Yuan had already made the decision for Nezha.
In the end, the helpless Nezha still went to the cafeteria with Jiang Yuan for a meal after the run, and then to the classroom.
This period of cultivation had also caused Jiang Yuan's Star Power instability to vanish, and his realm had fully stabilized at the Mid-stage strength of Great Liang.
Of course, as time passed, the Joint Examination of the four schools had also ended.
The champion of the second battlefield was Jiang Yuan.
The champion of the first battlefield was also a student from Zhongyuan Academy.
However, it was not anyone Jiang Yuan knew well; he was said to be the top student of the third year when Jiang Yuan was just a second-year student.
It's unknown if he deliberately suppressed his own breakthrough for the sake of being the champion of the first battlefield at the Joint Examination.
After all, Jiang Yuan had already broken into the Fifth Realm of Great Liang by now.
But Jiang Yuan didn't care about it, the choice to break through was their own business.
The third battlefield, however, was tougher, the best achievement Zhongyuan Academy had was merely a top four placement.
The final champion turned out to be Beimang Academy.
Still, when visiting the old principal last time, the old principal was smiling like a flower.
After all, out of three battlefields, their Academy had won two championships, which is something worth being happy about no matter how you slice it.
After the Joint Examination ended, the demand for Jiang Yuan's orders also increased significantly.
But that didn't have much to do with Jiang Yuan.
Stuff like the life-saving set of three, life-saving set of five, these kinds of skills, were mostly crafted by Jiang Yuan No.2.
Of course, sometimes Lao Jun would help ease some of the burden on Jiang Yuan No.2.
And for the act of splitting Divine Power Techniques like the 72 Transformations and the 36 Transformations into individual small skill cards, Lao Jun offered his praise.
As for Jiang Yuan himself, all he had to do was to make some custom cards.
Like the Earth Tiger Armor.
This had already been made and handed over to Zhan Youqing.
After trying it in the Dream Tower, Zhan Youqing gave it high praise.
Subsequently, Zhan Youqing also handed over payment and a deposit for three more sets of armor.
However, the materials haven't arrived yet and would need some time.
Another significant event occurred recently.
At the start of the third battlefield's clash in the Joint Examination, Huang Huanqing's Mechanical Crow permanently closed its eyes due to damage to its Inner Core.
After going through his sorrow, Huang Huanqing released his own burdens after the Joint Examination ended and placed an order with Jiang Yuan.
However, just like those remaining three sets of armor, Huang Huanqing needed to provide materials, so he was gathering them during this time.
Once the materials are ready, Jiang Yuan could then start card making.
But for now, the most important thing during this period was to complete the tasks assigned by his instructor.
