Tang Xin finished her preparations four days before Huang Ye and began studying the techniques and spells of the third layer.

Huang Ye wasn't bothered by being left behind by Tang Xin. They were all on the same side, so it didn't matter who was faster or slower. He was genuinely happy for Tang Xin's progress.

As Huang Ye entered the third layer of cultivation, his speed also began to increase.

After all, his theoretical foundation was strong, and with the support of the System, Huang Ye had mastered over twenty spells, while Tang Xin had only mastered ten.

Moreover, when they clashed using spells, Huang Ye's Fireball, Wood Spike, Ice Cone, Earth Wall, and Gold Sword techniques clearly had the upper hand, leaving Tang Xin frustrated and shouting.

Huang Ye didn't spare the little witch's pride, letting her see the gap so she could work harder.

During their spell studies, they also engaged in dual cultivation a few times, only to lament the thinness of Spiritual Energy in the area.

Every time they dual cultivated, the surrounding area quickly became devoid of energy, leaving them to go through the motions. If it weren't for the other pleasures, they would have stopped dual cultivating altogether.

Their range of absorption during dual cultivation reached a terrifying hundred zhang, and when cultivating alone, they could reach over thirty zhang.

Even without cultivating, their natural range was fifteen zhang.

The difference between them wasn't much; Huang Ye only exceeded Tang Xin by one or two zhang.

"Xin'er, I'm heading back home tonight. Tomorrow, I need to return to the academy to prepare for martial arts training."

"Alright, I've monopolized you for so long; it's time to return you to the other two. By the way, let's have a meal together sometime."

"Sure, I'll find a time to bring them out, and we'll have a good meal at Silver Moon Tower."

"My treat."

"It has to be your treat; those two don't have any money."

"When do you plan to return to the academy?"

"I'll go back in a few days. I need to learn three spells of each element first."

"That's good. Our current challenge is how to turn the Spiritual Energy rainbow into a circular shape. We need to figure this out on our own, and everyone should brainstorm to see who succeeds first."

"Alright, I'll practice more."

Huang Ye bid farewell to Father Tang and returned home.

Now, the two girls were also studying spells, but their progress was slow. Yue'er had learned five spells, while Qing'er had only learned two.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Huang Ye shared his spell-learning experiences with them, and as soon as he finished, he was dragged to bed.

That night, the small courtyard was once again filled with springtime charm.

After a night of dual cultivation, the two girls began their breakthrough, "Puff, puff, puff, puff!"

Both girls broke through five layers, reaching the ninth layer of the Initial Yang Realm.

The three of them were thrilled; the feeling of rapid breakthroughs was exhilarating. It was both enjoyable and upgrading, simply too satisfying.

In the morning, under the reluctant gazes of the two girls, Huang Ye left the small courtyard.

As he walked, Huang Ye thought about how he had suddenly disappeared for a month. Those who wanted to deal with him must have been overjoyed.

They probably thought he had been dealt with by some faction. This time, his return would surely surprise them.

Back in the dormitory, the three roommates heard the commotion, opened their sleepy eyes, and stared blankly at Huang Ye.

Huang Ye also stared blankly at his empty bed.

"Boss, you're back."

"Yeah, what's up with my bed?"

"Boss, don't worry. We thought you eloped with the sister-in-law since you hadn't returned, so we packed up your bedding."

"Eloped, my foot. Hurry up and make the bed."

"Yes." The three of them immediately jumped out of bed, quickly retrieving the bedding from under the bed and making it.

"Boss, such a big event like your wedding, why didn't we hear anything?"

"Wedding, my foot. I had something to take care of."

"Right, right, you had something, and so did the sister-in-law."

"Do you know anything about the Swordsmanship class?"

"Boss, you're not really going to find Big Brother He, are you?"

"Why would I find him? I want to join the Swordsmanship class to study."

"If you go, he'll definitely try to make a move on you."

"If he dares, I'll deal with him."

"Boss, with your status, if Big Brother He messes with you, he'll probably cry."

"I don't have any special status, and I don't want to reveal it."

"Then you should be careful. Big Brother He isn't alone; he has four swordsmen under him."

"We secretly call them the Four Shameless Ones; they're too shameless, just Big Brother He's loyal dogs."

"But they're quite strong, all at the fifth or sixth layer of the Martial Master realm."

"I also heard that Big Brother He has improved his realm this time; he's now at the eighth layer of the Martial Master realm, and that Jiang Yun has also joined the Swordsmanship class."

"Oh! Perfect, I'll take them all down."

"Boss, what's your strength? To take them all down, you'd probably need to be a Martial King."

"That's a secret. In any case, whoever messes with me won't have a good time."

"Then we'll wait for your good news."

There was still some time before class, so Huang Ye decided to practice for a while.

After finishing in the morning, he had been guarding the two girls and hadn't organized his Qi Flow.

This time could be used to make some adjustments, but as soon as he sat down cross-legged, "Puff!" he broke through again, reaching the fourteenth layer of the Initial Yang Realm.

Damn, what's going on? Why am I still breaking through? Why can't I stop?

Something must be wrong somewhere. I can't really be stuck in the Initial Yang Realm forever, can I? I need to quickly review my techniques.

The fourth layer of the techniques was Spiritual Energy purification, and the fifth was Spiritual Energy refinement, but I still couldn't find the problem.

I carefully recalled the entire process.

After reaching the thirteenth layer last time, I began organizing, and as soon as I finished, I engaged in dual cultivation with the three girls.

Both breakthroughs were due to a sudden increase in Spiritual Energy capacity, causing the energy within to expand, which would create pressure inside.

If this pressure exceeded the barrier of the Initial Yang Realm, it would result in a breakthrough.

This kind of breakthrough couldn't be infinite. When the internal pressure far exceeded the external atmospheric pressure, my skin, muscles, and meridians wouldn't be able to withstand it, and the consequence would be exploding to death.

Huang Ye made a judgment about his current situation from a physics perspective.

Huang Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, grateful that his physique had improved significantly after crossing over.

Combined with his persistent body refining, his physical capabilities had greatly increased, allowing him to continue breaking through.

If he were just an ordinary person, he might have exploded to death at the thirteenth layer.

Now, besides accelerating the study of the fourth layer of techniques, body refining couldn't be stopped.

Only after purification and refinement were complete could Spiritual Energy be gathered to form the Primordial Yang sphere.

Sigh! I don't know how much this will affect future cultivation. Exploring cultivation on my own is damn hard.

I've been cautiously guarding against external enemies, but I didn't expect the biggest enemy to be my own body, which could easily lead me astray.

Now, I can only continue to explore and move forward. If I can't form the Primordial Yang sphere in the future, my path of cultivation in this life will come to an end.

Fortunately, the three girls are now on the right track, and their realms are within a controllable range.

A terrifying thought suddenly crossed Huang Ye's mind. If the day came when he couldn't continue cultivating, would these three girls heartlessly abandon him?

Qing'er probably wouldn't, but Yue'er and the little witch might. I might end up being their long-term laborer.

Thinking of the three girls in leather outfits, holding whips, sent a shiver down Huang Ye's spine.

No, I must stay put in the academy during this time and avoid dual cultivation. The consequences of this sudden upgrade method are too severe.

With that in mind, Huang Ye began to carefully study the fourth layer of techniques, word by word, with great seriousness.
