Chapter 151 | The Otherworld Journey That Starts From a Slime

And so, the 【Revitalize the Rock Guild Plan】 was set. All they had to do now was wait for the venue application to be approved.

Talia patted her ample chest and guaranteed that they would have a result within two days.

Of course, whether the outcome would be good or bad was anyone's guess.

“If the Rock Guild can rise again, you'll be the greatest contributor!” Talia laughed heartily as she looked at the drafted proposal, clapping Zhang Ye on the shoulder.

Good grief, her strength made Zhang Ye's shoulder sink. Her physical strength, comparable to a Saint-tier's, was truly no joke.

While Zhang Ye was confident he could win in a fight against Albert, he was absolutely certain he would lose against Talia.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Since everything is settled, I'll head back first.”

“Mm!” Talia nodded, but then added, “Be careful with the Flame Snake Guild. Take these three guild badges. With these, their leader will have to think twice before making a move on you.”

Zhang Ye took the badges and nodded. “Thank you.”

“Don't mention it. If the guild actually comes back to life, I won't even know how to thank you enough.” Speaking of this, Talia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhang Ye chuckled. It was clear that through this matter, Talia had already begun to treat him as a friend.

Outside, she fiercely referred to herself as “yours truly,” but in front of friends, she called herself “big sis.” Zhang Ye felt that having a senior like her was quite nice.

As for friends, the more the merrier!

Bidding farewell to everyone from the Rock Guild, Zhang Ye returned to his dorm and started cooking.

Dinner was dumplings.

This was also everyone's suggestion. Ever since they had dumplings once, they had been constantly thinking about them, and Nan loved them too.

Furthermore, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the process of making the dumplings.

In the evening, Leona came over too.

During dinner, Zhang Ye told everyone about the guild's situation.

Hearing this, Leona nodded and said, “You can leave the application to me. I still have the authority to approve venue usage.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ye said in pleasant surprise, “Does Big Nana have that much authority now?”

Leona smiled proudly. “Of course. Look who you're talking to. Securing the Central Grand Arena for you won't be a problem at all.”

Zhang Ye was overjoyed. With Leona's help, revitalizing the guild was even more of a sure thing.

After dinner, everyone went back to cultivate, and Zhang Ye and Nan were about to begin their dual cultivation.

“A-Nan, I've improved our dual cultivation method. Don't resist later; I'll guide the mana. Let's test it out first. If you feel uncomfortable, let me know,” Zhang Ye said with an eager expression.

Nan was puzzled upon hearing this.

Did this guy actually figure something out?

But Nan didn't have much of a burden in the first place, so would Zhang Ye's improved method really be effective?

Despite his doubts, he still nodded. “Alright.”

The two climbed onto the bed and held hands.

“We're starting, okay?”

“Mm.”

Both closed their eyes and began to cultivate.

As Zhang Ye's mana entered Nan's body, Nan's body trembled slightly.

It felt so comfortable that even after all these days, he still hadn't fully adapted. Fortunately, he was no longer making any strange sounds.

However, in the next moment, his body began to shake.

Because Zhang Ye's mana rushed in at an accelerated rate, splitting into two streams the moment it entered his body. One stream flowed along the original path, while the other followed his blood vessels, circulating throughout his entire body.

Zhang Ye's mana felt like tiny hands, carefully feeling their way through Nan's body and only flowing after mapping out the blood vessels. It was warm and cozy, causing waves of even more intense pleasure to crash over Nan.

Once the mana successfully completed a full circulation through the blood vessels, Nan felt the comfort intensify once more.

“Ying~”

Well, he still couldn't hold it in.

Zhang Ye, who was constantly paying attention to Nan's movements, immediately opened his eyes. Seeing Nan's flushed face and clenched teeth, he hastily asked, “Is it still too much of a burden?”

“Then I should stop—”

“No need!” Nan said hurriedly.

He could feel that the cultivation speed of this method had increased even further, more than twice as fast as before. The comfort of the mana entering his body, combined with the mana flowing through his blood vessels, made him feel warm all over, as if he were about to fly.

Hearing that they might stop, he was extremely reluctant.

“But...” Zhang Ye hesitated.

He saw that Nan seemed to be struggling hard to endure it. Had the burden increased instead of decreased?

But he didn't feel anything like that when he cultivated himself...

Or was it that A-Nan's constitution was unique?

“This cultivation speed... is very fast...” Nan gritted his teeth, desperately holding back any strange noises. “I can endure it!”

“But...” Zhang Ye was still hesitant.

Nan interrupted him, “If I can't even endure this little bit of 'pain,' why bother cultivating at all!”

Hearing this, Zhang Ye was instantly filled with deep respect for Nan.

A-Nan must be in so much pain, yet for the sake of cultivating and becoming stronger, he still moved forward without hesitation. This was truly the quality of a strong person!

Zhang Ye himself was afraid of pain, so he decided to learn from Nan.

“Alright!” Seeing that Nan had put it that way, Zhang Ye nodded. “If you can't take it, you must tell me. Even though the cultivation speed is fast, we shouldn't be too greedy, just in case of any accidents.”

“Mm...” Nan nodded.

The two entered the cultivation state once again.

Mana surged wildly, and the Mana Gathering Circle operated at full capacity. With the compounding effects of both, the ambient mana transformed into a torrent, frantically pouring into Zhang Ye's body, while the mana within Zhang Ye also rushed into Nan's body at an accelerated pace.

Finally, the next morning, sunlight spilled through the window.

“Gujiu~” Gujiu hopped onto Zhang Ye's shoulder. Seeing that Zhang Ye hadn't woken up yet, it stealthily gave him a little peck, looking extremely happy.

I like Big Brother so much~

With a slight flutter of their eyelashes, Zhang Ye and Nan opened their eyes at the same time.

“This cultivation speed is way too amazing... Uh!” Looking at Nan, who was drenched like a drowned rat, Zhang Ye couldn't help but say, “A-Nan, are you okay?”

Nan immediately nodded.

He was more than just okay—he felt absolutely fantastic!

After a whole night of cultivation, although he was dripping with sweat, he felt as refreshed as if he had just finished a sauna session. A flush of pink even dusted his pale cheeks, making him look increasingly lovely.

Huh?

Why use “lovely” to describe a boy?

I don't know, so don't ask me...

Seeing that Nan was full of energy, Zhang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He then ran off to take a shower and started making breakfast.

Today, everyone still had breakfast amid laughter and chatter before heading to class.

This session was a theory class.

Early in the morning, everyone sat in rows inside the treehouse, waiting for class to start.

Zhang Ye's classes were simply too interesting. The theory classes were what everyone looked forward to the most, as they learned many highly practical techniques every single time.

Looking at everyone, Zhang Ye placed his hands on his hips and chuckled.

“Before class starts, please allow me to show off a bit.”

“Watch closely!”

“Flame Dragon Armor, combine!”

In the next instant, blue flames erupted from beneath his feet and enveloped him. The exceptionally handsome and stylish 【Flame Dragon Guardian】 materialized on his body. The red armor and blue flames complemented each other, creating a striking contrast yet remaining perfectly harmonious. This cool scene drew a chorus of gasps from everyone.

“Cool, right?” Zhang Ye chuckled.

“So cool!” everyone chorused.

“Today, we're going to talk about the importance of making a flashy entrance!”

“Look, wasn't my entrance just now incredibly imposing and handsome?”

“You might be thinking, what's the point of looking cool?”

“I can tell you with absolute certainty: looking cool is extremely useful!”

“First of all, your presence immediately leaps far ahead of your opponent's, making them feel crushed by your momentum. What will the opponent do then?”

“They will panic, they will get anxious! And if there's an audience present, they'll want to save face and win back the crowd's attention!”

“As long as they develop this mindset, it proves they have already fallen into your rhythm.”

“That's right! Combat rhythm actually begins the very moment you make your entrance!”

“The cooler someone's entrance is, the more imposing they are, and the steadier their rhythm becomes. This creates a psychological illusion in the opponent that they are inferior to you, putting pressure on them. Thus, they will fall into a passive state and drop right into your combat rhythm!”

“Take the first step, and you'll lead at every step!”

“Make one mistake, and every subsequent step will be a mistake!”

“As one ebbs and the other flows, victory is secured!”

“This is what we call battlefield management!”

“Details determine success or failure, and the entrance is a highly critical detail!”

“None of you should take this lightly!”

Everyone's eyes sparkled as they listened.

It was logical, well-supported, and thoroughly convincing!

“Alright, let's head outside now. Everyone, show me a flashy entrance! Make it as flashy and bright as possible—preferably bright enough to blind me,” Zhang Ye said with a grin.
