Chapter 224: Posting on the Friends Circle t
After the meal, Chen Mobai took a big group photo.
Then, under the influence of alcohol, he couldn’t resist posting on his social media.
[Into my fourth year at Dance Tool Dao Academy, I’ve finally achieved Foundation Establishment. I’m the second-fastest in my year, need to keep pushing myself]
After posting, Ming Yuhua next to him dragged him into a second round of drinks.
In the end, Chen Mobai didn’t even remember how he got home.
The next morning, he woke up feeling slightly groggy.
But he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator now, cultivating the Immortality Technique for a Grand Circulation cycle expelled all alcohol from his body, leaving him charged with energy, at peak state.
This technique of the Divine Wood Sect was considered the best rejuvenating method in the Eastern Wilderness.
“Oh right, I remember hearing that achieving Foundation Establishment gives me an extra lifespan of sixty years, wonder if it’s true…”
Chen Mobai mused to himself, changing into a set of new clothes, then tying his carefully cultivated long black hair to fit his ancient-style outfit into a simple ponytail.
Looking at the neatly dressed youth in the mirror, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, picked up his phone, slung his school bag on his shoulder and picked up a long box containing the Faceless puppet.
There was a puppet class today, and Che Yucheng said he’d give him extra coaching after school.
As he did not want to reveal his storage bag, Chen Mobai had to lug around this inconvenient box to school.
Leaving the wooden house, he headed towards Dance Tool Daoistry Academy.
“Eh, good morning!”
Just after stepping out, he found he was lucky today, bumping into Meng Huang at the foot of the mountain path.
Over the past four years, Chen Mobai and her had been mere acquaintances.
As Meng Huang was a year senior and focused on music and nationwide performances, they had virtually no interaction.
Embarrassingly, even after four years, Chen Mobai still didn’t have her contact information.
“Good morning.”
After greeting him, Meng Huang stood on her skateboard, but didn’t proceed forward alone as usual.
However, Chen Mobai didn’t notice this. He slung his school bag over his shoulder, took a deep breath, and cast a Rank-2 spell that he had long known by heart but could only cast now.
A flying technique!
From his Dantian Qi Sea, a drop of liquid spiritual power surged out, permeating his entire body down to the marrow.
Chen Mobai felt his body become as light as a feather, thereafter lifting off the ground to his delight, he flew.
Is this the feeling of flying?
A sense of intoxication surged in his heart. Looking at the ground that was getting farther and farther away, he held on to the puppet box with both hands, maintaining his balance.
With a light shout, Chen Mobai flew through the air towards Dance Tool Daoistry Academy.
Of course, the speed wasn’t fast. Meng Huang, on the skateboard on the road below him, maintained the same speed towards the school.
One was in the air, the other on the ground.
Meng Huang, on the ground, looked enviously at Chen Mobai in the sky.
She remembered this school junior who helped her out at the train station in the past, and found him quite impressive.
But when he moved next to her on the first day of college, she was somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, being a superstar, she had dealt with her fair share of aggressive fans. Even though she knew that students of Dance Tool Daoistry Academy wouldn’t be such people, she deliberately kept her distance to avoid any potential scandals.
In the four years since, apart from the first day of school, the two hadn’t walked to school together again.
Apart from the rare occasion of bumping into each other at school.
Meng Huang had deliberately avoided it.
But, yesterday, when she saw that update on the campus website and the familiar name, Chen Mobai, she was genuinely shocked.
He had actually… achieved Foundation Establishment!
She had reached the Perfection of Qi Cultivation in the ninth layer early, but because she had not cultivated the border technique, she did not dare to take that step.
And this junior, who was a year younger than her, had actually caught up from behind and succeeded in establishing his foundation.
Should she ask him if he had any tips for cultivating the border technique?
Thinking these thoughts, Meng Huang, today for some inexplicable reason, was observing the wooden cabin in the valley below from her villa on top of the hill.
Although she couldn’t clearly see what was happening inside the cabin, she could clearly see when Chen Mobai left the house. This was why, over the past four years, she had been able to avoid possibilities of going to school together with Chen Mobai.
But today, she intentionally waited for that chance and only sped down to the road junction at the foot of the hill on her skateboard as fast as she could after Chen Mobai left his house, then pretended to bump into him by accident.
Yet after their chance encounter, she didn’t know how to start a conversation.
And then, this junior schoolmate of hers just said hello and flew off immediately!
Didn’t he think that walking to school together along the mountain road might be a very romantic thing!?
Hovering on her skateboard behind Chen Mobai, who was flying awkwardly in the sky, Meng Huang couldn’t help feeling jealous.
No matter how clumsy or ungraceful he looked, he was still flying by his own power!
How come she had never noticed before that this junior schoolmate was pretty attractive?
Meng Huang watched Chen Mobai flying in the sky and felt a twinge of jealousy.
At the school gate, she finally waited for the fascinating Chen Mobai to land.
“Junior, shall we be friends?”
Meng Huang didn’t hold back any longer and actually took the initiative to take out her own phone.
“Eh, sure.”
Chen Mobai found it a bit strange, he could feel that the big star usually avoided him, why was she so proactive today?
Oh, it must be because I reached Foundation Establishment.
Chen Mobai, who understood the reason, couldn’t help feeling that the three years he spent at Divine Wood Sect to obtain the Foundation Building Pill was worthwhile.
Only a higher realm can earn respect from others.
This is another proof of Taoist Master Qing Ping’s theory.
Thinking like this, Chen Mobai opened his own phone, and was immediately taken aback.
99+ unread messages on his social media.
What is going on?
But he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, after recalling for a moment, he immediately remembered everything.
He seemed to have posted something on social media last night.
Damn, it was a bit too ostentatious.
After adding Meng Huang as a friend, Chen Mobai was preoccupied with this matter.
He greeted the big star and went straight towards the teaching building.
“Hey.”
He heard Meng Huang’s voice from behind, Chen Mobai turned around, looking puzzled.
“Is there something else?”
“No… nothing…”
Meng Huang was a bit shy to ask about the cultivation tips of the affective limiter realm technique from her new friend.
She planned to wait for some time to become more familiar with him, then naturally ask for advice.
“Oh, then I’m going.”
After finishing his words, Chen Mobai turned around, but unexpectedly ran into another familiar face at the fork in the stairs.
Ma Xiaoming.
The Dance Tool Dao Academy student he ran into at the train station waiting room some time ago. That time, he ridiculed Chen Mobai for being lucky to be admitted to school due to the expansion policy. Now, he stood there, looking quite embarrassed.
He wanted to turn around, bow his head, and quickly run in the opposite direction.
But he was a good student who abides by the school rules and regulations. In the end, he could only stand there, grit his teeth, and congratulate Chen Mobai on his success in Foundation Establishment, with a traditional salute from afar.
“Congratulations.”
Chen Mobai never thought that Ma Xiaoming would be so forthcoming. But since he was, there was no need for him to hold a grudge about it anymore.
He extended his left hand at chest level, slightly raised it, and returned the salute.
“You’re welcome. I hope the next one to build their foundation will be you.”
This scene was clearly seen by Meng Huang at the bottom of the steps. Having experienced this before, she felt a strong sense of satisfaction welling up inside her.
Heeheehee!
Her laughter rang out like a silver bell, making Chen Mobai surprisingly curious.
This was clearly him putting someone in their place, what was there for her to be excited about?
