"How was your training over winter break? Any breakthroughs?"
"Breakthrough? What breakthrough? I just goofed off the whole time."
"Zheng Minghao on our team broke through. He's the fifth first-year to reach Level 8."
A first-year team member tsked.
"For real? Man, it's tragic being surrounded by a bunch of geniuses."
"What are you being so modest for? I bet you'll definitely break through this semester."
"No way!"
The group flattered each other, but no one was being honest when it came to themselves.
Zhao Rui hadn't expected someone from the first-year class to reach Level 8 so quickly.
The quality of this year's recruits really was high.
After listening for a while, Zhao Rui entered the Meditation Chamber in the back of Mingcan Courtyard.
He found an empty Quiet Chamber and went into seclusion for his Cultivation.
After a winter break's worth of copying, he had already saved up 16 Advancement Points.
He'd never been this loaded before.
