Aww, poor Director Han. Almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

"You could say your Director Han gave you a perfect lesson in what not to do!!"
Berated like this, Beiming Han felt utterly embarrassed, but Beiming Lengyue continued to rub salt into the wound.
She crossed her arms, a mocking smile on her face.
"Your Director Han has always believed that Physical Cultivation is the true path, while Spiritual Masters are heretics. He thinks illusion formations and spirit attack formations are just for show, but when his own spiritual power is actually suppressed, he immediately loses his bearings.
After this lesson, everyone should understand that Spiritual Masters are not weak. Even a weaker Spiritual Master can turn the tables and defeat a powerful opponent if they know how to control the situation.
Ling Qingxue's performance today was almost perfect in the use of illusion spirit formations; her coordination with her magical beast was equally flawless, and her control over people's minds was extremely cunning.
I give her a hundred points for this battle. As for her opponent... at most a ten. His performance was terrible."
Beiming Han was so angry he almost fainted.
He only got a ten!
"Little sister, that's enough, you can stop now!" Beiming Han said softly.
Beiming Lengyue raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You, a veteran King Rank expert, can't even accept your own defeat?"
Beiming Han coughed lightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"Yes, Director Lengyue is very detailed. I did underestimate Spiritual Masters. Perhaps you all made the same mistake. Everyone should take this seriously. Don't underestimate any opponent, and especially don't... don't follow my example.
Furthermore, given Ling Qingxue's outstanding performance today, I'm awarding her thirty days of use in the King-level Cultivation Room. I hope all of you will continue to cultivate diligently and learn from her."
With that, he ran off...
He couldn't bear to stay here any longer.
Wu Liang leaned on Ling Qingxue's shoulder, a smile on his face.
"Not bad, Grumpy Empress! You're really something! Your scheming is even better than Beiming Yan's. You've really taken it to the next level! No wonder the two of you get along so well. I knew the tactics you taught me were 'rogue tactics'! You are the master of the unorthodox methods!"
A woman's heart is as unpredictable as the depths of the sea!
When it comes to cunning, you have to look to a woman!
Ling Qingxue rolled her eyes. "Is that a compliment?"
"Of course it is! This is the real art of complimenting! I'm giving you a very high-quality compliment!"
Beiming Lengyue walked over and handed her a small bottle.
"You performed very well today. Although it's a pity I didn't take you as my disciple, it doesn't diminish my admiration for you. This is a bottle of Concentration Elixir. After absorbing it, you'll be able to break through to the Fourth Rank early-stage very soon!"
The others watched with envy.
The Concentration Elixir was a top-grade basic treasure, extremely precious. It was incredibly effective for low-level Spiritual Masters, and refining it was equally difficult; only a powerful King Rank Spiritual Master like Beiming Lengyue had the ability to create it.
This one bottle of Concentration Elixir was enough to offset Ling Qingxue's spiritual energy cultivation for several months!
In just about a month after absorbing this bottle of Concentration Elixir, her spiritual energy would steadily break through to the Fourth Rank early-stage.
"Auntie, isn't there one for me?" Beiming Yan swallowed hard.
Beiming Lengyue raised an eyebrow. "I only have treasures for Spiritual Masters. They're useless to you since you don't cultivate spiritual power. Go ask your second uncle."
"Heh, my second uncle is very stingy. He was so embarrassed today, how could he possibly give me any treasures?"
"Then go ask your brother. I really don't have any treasures you could use."
Beiming Yan immediately wilted. "A child no one cares about is like a blade of grass, bending whichever way the wind blows. Nobody really cares about me. My brother doesn't, and neither does my aunt."
Beiming Lengyue, slightly annoyed, took out her phone and made a call.
"Hurry up and get your sister some cultivation resources. She's always making a drama, so annoying! I don't know if she inherited it from my older brother or my sister-in-law!"
Beiming Yan's face was filled with sorrow. "Aunt, you've broken my heart. I was sincere to you, but your words were like daggers to my soul. People's hearts are indeed cold, unless you compensate me!"
Beiming Lengyue couldn't take it anymore and immediately vanished into the void.
Even evil cultivators couldn't stand this "Beiming Drama Queen"!
A group of people looked at Ling Qingxue as if she were a huge treasure.
It wasn't the bottle of Concentration Elixir, but... the usage time of the King-level Cultivation Room!
Ling Qingxue had already cleared the first two levels of the Martial Tower, gaining a total of thirty days, plus the monthly quota of seven days, and the three days she gained from the last challenge.
Now she had cleared the third level of the Martial Tower, gaining another thirty days, plus an extra thirty days as a reward from Beiming Han!
Even after using twenty days, she still had a full eighty days left! That's a full eighty days!
Some of these upperclassmen didn't even have a tenth of what Ling Qingxue had.
They only got a few days a month, and they couldn't even pass the Martial Tower, so there was basically no other way to gain extra time.
She was too rich!!
Beiming Yan gulped. "Qingxue, I feel like they want to eat you alive?!"
Ling Qingxue smiled faintly, unconcerned.
"They want to challenge me and take my cultivation time, but in two days, the freshmen will be starting school and military training. The military training lasts two months, and the location will most likely be some secret place. They won't even have a chance to challenge me. Even after I leave the secret place, I'll start my secluded cultivation. My time is all mine!"
Boom!
Everyone was stunned. What kind of situation was this?!
Being able to watch but not challenge was worse than being killed.
"Why do freshmen have to do military training? Can't we just cancel it? It's useless and a waste of a great challenge opportunity!"
"Exactly! How can Sister Ling possibly use up eighty days of cultivation time by herself? I'd rather suffer through this with her!"
"A bunch of idiots! Do you really think you can easily defeat Sister Ling? Look, she's already won twice! Even Director Han was treated like a dog by her! If you don't quickly come up with a way to defeat her, you'll lose your challenge anyway!"
Beiming Han: Hey, don't you have any manners?!
How could he be treated like a dog? It's just that he was caught off guard by an illusory spirit formation!
But the others didn't care. A dignified King Rank expert, even with his level sealed, should be able to instantly kill a Third Rank martial artist. Losing was a disgrace.
For a moment, everyone began to study Ling Qingxue, trying to find her weakness.
Lu Shiyu scratched his head, looking confused.
"Why insist on taking on such a tough nut? Can't we squeeze a little something out of this juicy piece of meat, Sister Yan?"
Instantly, everyone turned to look at Beiming Yan.
Challenging either of them would yield rewards; it didn't have to be Ling Qingxue. Beiming Yan was a perfect target!
Besides, Beiming Yan had only won once; she'd lost the previous three matches.
This was definitely an easy prey!
Beiming Yan's eyes widened, her composure instantly shattered.
"Lu Shiyu, you son of a bitch! You betrayed me!"
Lu Shiyu quietly took two steps towards the crowd, a smile spreading across his face.
"Sister Yan, we are indeed friends, but cultivation is of paramount importance. Even if you lose, the school will cover the costs for you, so you won't actually lose out. You should consider the benefits for everyone!"
"That's right, Sister Yan! We always share good things with you. Now it's your turn!"
"Failure is the mother of success. Perhaps you can gain a powerful Martial Will from this failure. Who knows, the next person to comprehend the Invincible Will might just be you!"
