Chapter 14 - Old Classmate

"That's the Dojo of Limits' Global Training Camp!"

"Even the basic Training Camp offers faster improvement through various training conditions than training in the Wilderness Area, not to mention there are God of War-level powerhouses to guide you in the Training Camp!"

"Xiao Shen, I know you're considering us by choosing not to go temporarily, but you can't sacrifice your future for our sake!"

Chen Ying spoke intensely.

Captain Bai Feng also said, "Xiao Shen, Chen Ying is right."

Shen Ping shook his head, "Ying Jie, Captain, it's true that part of it is because of everyone, but more of it is for my own reasons."

Basic Training Camp?

He had never considered it. If he were to enter, it would be the Elite Training Camp, and he couldn't be at the bottom, otherwise, he wouldn't get cultivation resource rewards, and there would be no meaning in being in the Elite Training Camp.

"Once I master the fifth stage and my movement technique reaches the Minor Achievement of the perfect level, then entering the Elite Training Camp will garner enough attention!"

He had his own plan and would not change it easily.

Chen Ying still wanted to persuade him, but Shen Ping interrupted her and changed the topic, "Captain, when are we going to the Wilderness Area? I'm really short on money right now!"

Seeing that Shen Ping had made up his mind, Bai Feng no longer tried to persuade him. She pondered, "Let's tentatively set it for August 10th. By then, the rainy season will be over, and the possibility of beast tides and rat tides will be lower."

Whether it was a beast tide or a rat tide, both were terrifying. Most beast tides and rat tides in Huazhong Base City in the past occurred during the rainy season.

Because the rainy season is hot and humid, it is conducive to the reproduction of monsters, especially rat beasts, whose reproduction speed is astonishing. With a large amount of rainfall, they can easily rush out of their burrows to the surface.

"Okay!"

Shen Ping and the others had no objections.

Chen Ying reminded, "Xiao Shen, don't go to the Wilderness Area alone during this time!"

Although Huazhong Base City hasn't experienced even small-scale beast tides in recent years, it's always better to be careful.

And in July and August, various Martial Artist squads rarely go to the Wilderness Area.

Shen Ping nodded. Even if he was short on money, he wouldn't take risks.

"Captain, in a month, I estimate my combat power can approach the intermediate Warlord-level. If we're going to the Wilderness Area, let's venture into a big city!"

He knew that Wang Zhan and Li Zi had long wanted to go to a big city, so he proactively suggested it this time.

Big cities have a huge number of Warlord-level Vicious Beasts, especially cities near the coast. Sometimes, one trip's harvest can exceed several years of accumulation.

Wang Zhan and Li Zi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Bai Feng, however, smiled upon hearing this. "Alright, we'll go to a big city!"

She had been holding back before, but now that Shen Ping's combat power had soared, and the squad had two intermediate Warlords, plus Chen Ying, the sniper, even if they encountered the Fire Wind Squad again, they would not be afraid at all.

With such combat power, they could indeed venture into a big city.

After deciding, the squad played for a while in the HR Alliance Mall entertainment area before splitting up.

Shen Ping was not in a hurry to return to Yinhui Community in Zheng City. Instead, he wandered around the main urban area. A Base City is divided into a main urban area and several satellite cities, with the main urban area undoubtedly being the most prosperous.

Unknowingly, he wandered to Huazhong University.

Looking at the youthful and beautiful university students at the school gate, he couldn't help but think of his high school classmate who worked part-time as a waiter in the HR Alliance entertainment area.

He opened his wristband, found his classmate's phone number, and sent her a message.

Soon, a girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and pink hot pants appeared at the school gate.

"Over here."

Shen Ping waved his hand.

The girl's beautiful face was full of joy. "Shen Ping, I thought you, the Martial Artist, had forgotten about me!"

Shen Ping gave a dry laugh. He had indeed almost forgotten about this old classmate, Su Qi. If he hadn't walked to Huazhong University today, he wouldn't have thought of her at all.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk around the university campus." Su Qi said with a smile.

Shen Ping had attended university in his previous life, but in this life, neither in reality nor in this descended identity had he ever been to university, so he followed Su Qi into Huazhong University.

The main urban area was extremely valuable, with every inch of land precious. Aside from the communities where Martial Artists lived and the high-end villas of other powerful figures, other places were very crowded.

However, this university still maintained its pre-catastrophe state. Not only did it cover a large area, but the scenery within the campus was also particularly pleasant.

Walking on the wide Dao, Shen Ping's mind was rarely completely relaxed. Since being reborn, his mind had always been tense.

Especially after entering the New Recruit Camp, he had been thinking about improving his strength every moment.

They arrived at a pavilion by the campus lake, and the two sat down.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, causing ripples on the lake.

Shen Ping sighed, "University life is indeed good!"

Su Qi pursed her lips and smiled, "What? Do you regret not reviewing for another year to continue taking the university entrance exam?"

Shen Ping shook his head, "I'm just sighing."

Neither his current identity nor he himself would choose to review, even if they started over.

One must know that the fastest period for a Martial Artist's strength to improve is between 18 and 30, and the four years of university are undoubtedly a period of rapid strength growth.

Choosing university would be a complete waste of time.

Su Qi blinked, "It's a good thing you didn't choose to review, otherwise, you might not even be a Martial Artist by now!"

"University is comfortable, but the more comfortable it is, the harder it is to improve. I know many people who became Advanced students in high school, but once they got to university, most of them started dating, enjoying themselves, and their strength stagnated."

Shen Ping was startled and said in surprise, "Su Qi, I didn't expect you to have such insight."

"Hehe, are you surprised? Originally, I didn't have this insight, but ever since I started working part-time as a waiter at the HR Alliance Mall, I met more Martial Artists, listened to their conversations, and combined that with my own situation, that's how I formed this view."

Su Qi brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said softly, "Working part-time at the HR Alliance involves great competition and pressure, but it's also a form of self-training."

"Not bad." Shen Ping seemed to be re-acquainting himself with his high school classmate, smiling, "You've indeed changed a lot compared to before."

In the memories of his current body, this Su Qi was a very proud girl in high school, with a rather flamboyant personality.

"How have I changed a lot?" Su Qi's lips curled slightly.

"You've become prettier," Shen Ping said casually.

Hearing this, Su Qi couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, "Shen Ping, you never used to say such complimentary things…"

The two seemed to have opened a floodgate, chatting about many things: Su Qi's trivial university life, her experiences working as a waiter at the HR Alliance, and Shen Ping's thrilling battles with Vicious Beasts in the Wilderness Area…

It wasn't until four in the afternoon that the two concluded their reunion as old classmates.

Upon returning to Yinhui Community, Shen Ping once again immersed himself in focused Cultivation. For him, this conversation with Su Qi was purely a relaxation from his intense Cultivation life. Although Su Qi was very beautiful, he had no intention of pursuing her whatsoever.

Time passed in such Cultivation.

This day, Shen Ping did not Cultivate further. Instead, he let his descended body stay in the audio-visual room, while all his thoughts left the High Tower World.
