After enjoying his tea, he got down and went into his room. He closed the windows.

There were still two hours for the class to start. He wanted to use this time to cultivate.

Bai Ming sat crosse legged on his bed. He took out a grey pouch from his robes. This wasn't an ordinary pouch to speak of, it was a storage bag. He had obtained it from the panel when he had opened the gift pack. A storage pouch was basically a magical treasure used to store inanimate objects, it had a separate space of itself. Of course, the space inside wasn't endless.

Bai Ming willed and another pouch flew out of the storage pouch, this bag contained spirit stones. The amount was quite a lot. There were hundred spirit stones.

Bai Ming slightly glanced at the spirit stones and let out a sigh.

He had gotten them from his grandfather, Originally Old Li told Bai Ming that he would give him a small number of spirit stones every two months. But it was different now, he was extremely surprised at Bai Ming's rapid growth in cultivation.

Old Li directly asked Bai Ming about his doubts a couple of times but Bai Ming would spout utter nonsense every single time, saying; An immortal goddess came in his dreams claiming him as her future husband and she had given him some power as dowry Or a Legendary evil dragon which can destroy the nine heavens had acknowledged him as it's master and whatnot.

Of course, Bai Ming had his own thoughts when spouting such nonsense. Old Li probed him a couple of times but after hearing his grandson's enlightening words which would change whenever asked the same question, he stopped trying.

He understood that his grandchild had his own secrets now. He was not angry that Bai Ming was talking nonsense, instead, he was actually a bit happy. In his view, Bai Ming had circumstances that prevented him from disclosing his secret to him, But Bai Ming didn't really try at all in hiding it from him.

If Bai Ming really wanted to keep it a secret from him, Bai Ming could have at least said something realistic and stuck with it, but Bai Ming would purposefully spout unbelievable shit every time. It showed that Bai Ming was forced to hide it from his grandfather, he didn't have a choice in the matter. This thought made Bai Li pleased.

On Bai Ming's tremendous cultivation speed he was extremely happy, But at the same time, he felt a little loss that Bai Ming was no longer a brat that he had to take care of every single time.

Hence he reconsidered on how he should support his genius grandson. He directly took one-fourth of his remaining life savings and without batting an eye he gave it to Bai Ming.

The injury he had suffered was at least 24 years ago, but at the time at least he had decent finance. But as time went on his finances started to dwindle, and he also spent a very huge sum of amount to save Bai Ming's mother. Now he probably had only around 4-5 hundred spirit stones out of which he had given Bai Ming a hundred spirit stones.

"With the help of these spirit stones breaking through the peak of bone forging realm will be much smoother now. Right now I have hundred spirit stones and today we will get the academy's monthly subsidiary of 10 spirit stones. I should be able to break through the 9th layer within one and a half months."

"But today is an exciting day, hehe I will get to enter the academy's martial arts scripture hall. I have high comprehension capabilities I should be able to learn these techniques quickly." thoughts flashed in his mind, and he then began to cultivate.

Clan Academy

On the stage above, The academy elder was reading out names one by one, distributing their monthly allowance. This is small financial aid for these young teens. After all, not all of the youths had good backers, also many of the youths are orphans who had a lot of financial pressure.

"Su Ming" The elder called out loud.

Su Ming walked up the stage, receiving two money bags. In one bag were ten spirit stones, it was the clan's monthly allowance. The other bag held the reward for the second assessment.

"Good job, work diligently." The elder said. He gave Su Ming a look of approval. The second assessment was given a month back. Its content was, The person with the highest cultivation during the day of allowance distribution would be rewarded with 30 spirit stones.

Su Ming took the bag and nodded his head. His eyes were filled with pride when he went back to his previous position.

Many of the youths were looking at Su Ming with jealousy and admiration. In this world strength was respected, Actually, respect was just a nice way to put it. What these weaklings truthfully felt was fear.

Bei Ju fixed his gaze at Bai Ming, his heart rather pleased, even though he didn't say anything. His eyes revealed everything "You are the real trash here, acting so arrogant all the time. what happened now, why aren't you the one getting the reward? Hahaha, the first time you were lucky that's all. You are just a lowly mid-grade talent, you will only be cannon fodder for people like me. Hahaha.."

Bai Ming felt Bei Ju's gaze, he turned to look at him and saw Bei Ju's disdainful look but Bai Ming didn't mind it. He instead winked at him making Bei Ju a bit confused at this kind of reaction.

Then Bai Ming continued assessing his classmates. The majority of the youths were in the 3rd level of the bone forging realm, then there were almost 30 youths in the 4th level. As for those few youths with high-grade talent except for Bei Ju were in the 6th level. As for Su Ming, he was at the 7th layer.

Bai Ming was not the least bit disappointed that he didn't get the first place or surprised at the quick advancement of those high-grade talents and Su Ming. He had already formed a conclusion in his mind about it. Even though he doesn't have any prior experience in politics or being a person in power. He had some brains, he calculated every possible way and came to conclusion.

His thoughts were somewhere along these lines

"Su Ming has broken through to the 7th layer and those three have already caught up to me. Is it because they had more spirit stones supply than me? No, that's not it. I had ample supply, even if those high-grade talents had more spirit stones it wouldn't matter. Hmm, it should be their elders. Those three have core formation realm experts in their families, as for Su Ming even though he doesn't have a core formation realm senior in his family he is the hope of the clan. The higher-ups of the clan will definitely help him in the shadows. Then why didn't they help these geniuses before?"

"Hmm, if it was me in their place what would I have to consider... Only one thing comes to my mind right now, If these higher-ups had shown their full support since the start then their children would have had tremendous growth but this would cause the morale of the less talented youths to hit rock bottom. Even though in the beginning these low-level talents would not win against these geniuses, the difference between them would not be much. They would still have some hope, but if the difference is too big it could have a negative impact on their psyche."

"Yes, this should be it, even though these less talented youths will not achieve much in their life but they are still an integral part of the village, the higher-ups must have to consider this. Otherwise, why would the academy keep these assignments, it is to motivate these children. But now it's different because of me, A mid-grade talent defeating high and superior-grade talent is abnormal. If this continues, it would create a shadow in the hearts of these geniuses which is unacceptable to the clan. Especially when the clan has finally produced a superior grade talent, how could they watch silently? Sigh.. "
