Chapter 1604 - 1578: This Way of Chasing Girls Is Completely Wrong

Yang Xiao had been reading at the Shendu Library for half a year, while Xiao Qingliu was training under Mentor Gan Wei's guidance on the Genetic Evolution Method.

Over the past half year, Xiao Qingliu had made considerable progress, increasing her attribute values by 5 points. Although she hadn't increased as much as Yang Xiao's 9 points, such a rate of growth at the Emperor Level Advanced Realm was rare among the three thousand students at Shendu College.

Gan Wei was very pleased with Xiao Qingliu and imparted all her life's learning to her.

After over half a year of personal mentorship, Gan Wei adjusted to Xiao Qingliu's cultivation characteristics and guided her to train her Frozen Nine Heavens Technique at the Ice Lake.

"You're not the same as Yang Xiao. Even though I haven't personally taught Yang Xiao, from his growth of 9 attribute points in half a year, it's evident that his talent is unparalleled for a millennium.

Just by reading at the library for half a year, he managed to increase his Command Attribute by 9 points. Even the academy's Jiashan Dean and the ten elder-level mentors don't possess Yang Xiao's level of talent,

I still remember that two hundred years ago, Jiashan Dean was much like Yang Xiao when he first entered Shendu College. He spent half a year focused on reading in the library, resulting in a sharp increase of 7 points in his Wisdom Attribute, becoming a sensation at Shendu College."

Listening to this, Xiao Qingliu felt a surge of pride inside and smiled, saying:

"Yang Xiao's increase of 9 points in Wisdom Attribute this time surely makes him greater than Dean Jiashan, doesn't it?"

Mentor Gan Wei cast a glance at Xiao Qingliu, calmly stating:

"Humph, little girl, I know you two are a couple, but don't get complacent. Don't say I didn't warn you. Yang Xiao's evolution talent is earth-shattering, which isn't necessarily a good thing for you.

The greater a man's abilities, the higher he flies, the further he runs. If you don't have similar abilities, how can you keep up with his pace, how can you fly together in unity?"

Xiao Qingliu blushed, muttering:

"If he's so heartless and ungrateful, I would have no hesitation in leaving him."

Gan Wei let out a cold laugh,

"Once you give your heart, can you take it back? Look at yourself over these days. Although you've been diligently practicing, aren't you constantly thinking of that brat Yang Xiao? If you'd concentrated entirely on your cultivation, you could have increased your attribute value by at least 1 more point.

And look at that brat Yang Xiao, the moment he entered the library, he forgot everything, including you. Did he ever come to see you?"

Xiao Qingliu was speechless.

Indeed, Yang Xiao hadn't come to find her. She had visited Vice Dean Le's courtyard several times, but there was never anyone there. Later, she learned that Yang Xiao was always immersed in the library.

Xiao Qingliu had also gone to the library twice to look for Yang Xiao, but in vain. The training tasks assigned by Gan Wei were heavy, so she hadn't gone to the library again.

In truth, she couldn't deny a bit of "Since you don't come for me, why should I go for you" kind of feeling inside.

Women, when facing emotions, are all the same.

The Ice Lake Purgatory passage stretches for two thousand meters. Most people can only train beyond a thousand meters from the Ice Lake, or even fifteen hundred meters away.

Fifteen hundred meters is a boundary line. Those in the Emperor Level Advanced Realm can progress further, while those below the Intermediate Realm basically cannot cross this line to train.

For instance, Xiao Bai can only train around the seventeen-hundred meter mark.

The further forward, the more piercing the cold, the stronger the Genetic Evolution Energy, and simultaneously, the greater the risk of counteractions.

Xiao Qingliu had been here for over a month, initially training around the fifteen-hundred-meter boundary, then slowly advancing.

Currently, Xiao Qingliu was about thirteen hundred meters from the Ice Lake's core.

Xiao Qingliu, of national beauty and divine fragrance, captivated with her radiance even with a casual appearance.

Upon her arrival at Ice Lake Purgatory, many people took notice. Over ten young nobles approached Xiao Qingliu, flattering her endlessly.

But Xiao Qingliu responded to all with indifference, unmoved.

Among the many admirers of Xiao Qingliu, two men held particularly special identities. One named Shiyi Lang from the Blood Wolf Clan, the eleventh son of the Clan Leader.

The other called Moke Bo, from the Moke Clan, also the Clan Leader's son.

Both were in their forties, already at the Emperor Level Intermediate Realm, considered exceptionally talented among the three thousand students at Shendu.

Both regarded themselves highly, believing they deserved someone of Xiao Qingliu's breathtaking beauty.

As Shiyi Lang and Moke Bo both pursued Xiao Qingliu, most others withdrew from the competition.

At this moment, Shiyi Lang and Moke Bo sat on either side of Xiao Qingliu, about a meter away from her.

Xiao Qingliu, with eyes gently closed, operated her Genetic Evolution Method, continuously absorbing the cold element energy from the cave.

Shiyi Lang and Moke Bo did the same.

At Xiao Qingliu's current realm, generally operating the technique continuously for about an hour requires a ten-minute rest to avoid excessive cold air causing bodily harm.

Xiao Qingliu exhaled deeply, opening her beautiful eyes.

Shiyi Lang and Moke Bo also stopped their cultivation simultaneously.

Shiyi Lang immediately handed a small bottle, saying:

"Sister Qingliu, here I have our Blood Wolf Clan's unique Blood Wolf Great Refining Pill, which drives away the cold, warms the body, and restores Qi, it's second to none in the world. You should try it; it would be beneficial for your cultivation."

Moke Bo quickly added:

"Sister Qingliu, here I have a bottle of Hundred Flower Jade Dew Liquid, made from our Moke Clan's most mysterious hundred precious flowers, crafted with a special secret formula. Its effect is no less than the Blood Wolf Great Refining Pill,

Moreover, it nourishes and beautifies, perfectly suited for girls like you."

Xiao Qingliu simply responded lightly:

"Thanks, but I don't need it."

The slightly plump girl in front of Xiao Qingliu turned back and said:

"Brother Moke, could I try your Hundred Flower Jade Dew Liquid? I'd like to."

Moke Bo flatly replied:

"Sister Afat, this Hundred Flower Jade Dew Liquid isn't easy to make. Even I can't bear to use it myself, the quantity is limited. Besides, with your plumpness, you're well insulated, no need for it."

The plump sister glared hard at Moke Bo,

"..."

People around chuckled.

The rules at Shendu Academy are very strict, prohibiting private duels. Within Shendu Academy, basically, there are no personal vendettas leading to fighting. The advantage is that the three thousand students in the academy get along harmoniously. Occasionally, there are some banters and jests that everyone takes as a joke, nobody minds it.

"Are you two interested in the same Sister Xiao Qingliu? That's not the right approach to woo a girl at all."

A cheerful voice sounded, everyone turned to see a handsome young man walking over.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Qingliu's heart trembled. She looked up at Yang Xiao, smiling with pursed lips.

Since entering the Ice Lake Purgatory, Xiao Qingliu hadn't smiled like this, and those around suddenly noticed that her smile was even more captivating,

The smile warmed the hearts of everyone who saw it, seeming to melt away some of the coldness of the Ice Lake Purgatory.
