C1 I Wish You Well
"Wen Xue, here is everything you need for your cultivation next month"
Qin Chuan handed the worn-out cloth bag in his hand to the girl in front of him with good looks like an orchid. He was gasping for air and looked a bit tired.
Wang Wenxue looked down at the shabby cloth bag that Qin Chuan handed to her and saw the black stains on the bag, a conflicting look flashed across her black and white eyes. She didn't reach out to take the worn-out bag.
When he noticed Wang Wenxue's reluctance towards the shabby bag, Qin Chuan slightly pursed his lips, "I just finished at my part-time job, so I came in a hurry, because of time..."
"Qin Chuan, what is your current Brain Domain development level? "How many low-grade Yellow category runes have you learned from teacher?"
Wang Wenxue suddenly interrupted Qin Chuan's explanation. At that moment, she didn't want to hear any explanation because she felt it was irrelevant.
Qin Chuan looked at Wang Wenxue with a slightly surprised expression. That was the first time since high school that Wenxue expressed concern about his training progress. He answered her question truthfully even though he felt it was a little strange.
"We've known each other since we were kids and you already know me. My Brain Domain Development is currently just 25%, and the only Yellow category Low Grade Runes that teacher passed onto me, is the Clear Water Rune. "
As he talked about his training, although Qin Chuan appeared to be frank, he was extremely unwilling in his heart. Ever since he attended the courses on Brain Domain development and meditation runes in high school, he had been studying diligently. Aside from his lessons and part-time jobs, he spent the rest of his time on Brain Domain development and meditation runes, and he barely slept for three hours every day. However, even with all his efforts, he still wasn't able to make good grades.
Qin Chuan had only reached 25%, and the entrance exams were coming up in the next six months. If he was still at just 25% of his Brain Domain development by then, perhaps he would lose the opportunity to enter the university, and could only enter a specialized school, and would never be able to become a cultivator.
As another child who was raised in the slums, Wang Wenxue displayed her astonishing cultivation talent after she entered the senior high school. Now, not only did her Brain Domain development reach a level of 65%, she had also mastered nine types of yellow category low grade runes and four types of middle grade Yellow category runes. She was a genius and kingpin in her class and was also known as the goddess of Qingzhou Prefecture's Second High School!
Qin Chuan had always been very grateful to Wang Wenxue in his heart because she had helped him to enter Qingzhou Second High School. After he found out about Wenxue's amazing cultivating talent, he had used the money he had earned from his hard work to buy cultivation materials to help her cultivate, as payback for the kindness she had shown him in the past.
Wang Wenxue frowned slightly when she heard Qin Chuan's sincere response. She rarely paid attention to his training progress, but she never expected that Qin Chuan's results would be so poor.
If one wanted to gain entry into a good university, one had to have developed one's Brain Domain to at least 50% while in high school. Also, one had to master at least five low grade Yellow category runes and two middle grade Yellow runes in high school level.
In the vast universe, the cultivators of the three thousand great worlds all revered runes. One could only qualify to become a cultivator if one could control the power of runes. The higher the development of a Brain Domain, the less time it would take to control the runes and the more proficient a cultivator was in controlling the rune's power. As a result, a person's level of development of the Brain Domain basically determined whether or not the person could become a cultivator in the future. With Qin Chuan's current level of progress in the Brain Domain, it was an indicator that he would not be able to become a cultivator in the future. So, naturally he wouldn't qualify to enter a university.
Qin Chuan was well aware that with his current results, desiring to enter the university and become a cultivator was basically wishful thinking, but as long as the College Entrance Test was yet to arrive, he was unwilling to give up any possibility. Heaven rewarded the diligent, hence it wasn't over yet, he still had a chance
That was Qin Chuan's inner determination. No one could shake his faith and determination!
As Qin Chuan remained silent, Wang Wenxue thought that her words had hurt Qin Chuan's ego. She sighed lightly, "Keep the cultivation materials and use them for yourself. You don't have to give me cultivation resources in the future."
Qin Chuan glanced at Wang Wenxue in surprise and said, "Your aim is to enter one of the six major universities with the college entrance exam. You need these cultivation materials even more than I do."
The six major universities didn't accept students who weren't talented. Even though Wang Wenxue's grades were currently good, if she wanted to make it into one of the six major universities, she needed her grades to become more stable. Those cultivation resources were definitely of great importance to her.
"Qin Chuan, you just have to accept that, it will never be possible for us to be together."
She thought Qin Chuan was being persistent, so Wang Wenxue frowned and said in a deep voice, "After the College Entrance Examination is over in the coming 6 months, I will definitely get into one of the top six schools and become a top rated cultivator. You, on the other hand, will only be able to enter a specialized college and lead a normal life like normal people. No matter how good you are to me, we are already not destined to be together. Just give up."
Qin Chuan looked at Wang Wenxue in surprise. He didn't expect her to misunderstand and assume that he liked her, so he explained with a smile, "Wen Xue, you misunderstood, I …"
Seeing that Qin Chuan still wanted to quibble, Wang Wenxue's face darkened as she said coldly, "You and I will not meet again in the future because, I don't want Cheng to misunderstand things. The truth is, I have already promised Liu Cheng that when I graduate from high school, I will become his girlfriend. That means that, he will provide me with plenty of cultivation resources in the future. In fact, this summer when we leave for the college entrance examination, I may learn the low-grade Profound Category runes passed down from generations of the Liu Family, and break through to a higher realm earlier than my peers.
It was well known that the runes were divided into four categories, the Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The Yellow category was the foundation, and the Profound rank was the true beginning. Only by mastering the Profound rank runes could one be considered to have truly stepped into the world of cultivators. Wang Wenxue said all of this to let Qin Chuan understand that it was impossible for them to be together!
Seeing the determination on Wang Wenxue's face, Qin Chuan suddenly smiled. He had worked so hard to get her those cultivation materials just to repay her kindness. He never had any presumptuous thoughts towards her.
"Well then, I wish you well."
Qin Chuan smiled as he gave her his blessings. Then, he turned around and left with his worn-out cloth bag.
As she watched Qin Chuan's figured disappear, Wang Wenxue didn't feel relieved at all. Instead she felt regretdul, as if she missed something.
