In the dean's office, Ning An stayed for a full hour.
Even Ning An didn't expect that the dean could be so talkative.
But Ning An knew it was because of his breakthrough to the third rank.
Otherwise, the dean wouldn't have been so enthusiastic!
After all, as a martial arts expert at the seventh rank, he had a lot of things to deal with.
"As expected, strength is the only way!"
Ning An couldn't help but sigh.
He opened his phone and received many congratulatory messages.
Because after he registered and received the dean's certification, there was a congratulatory scrolling banner on the school's app.
【Congratulations to Ning An, counselor of our school's Pill Dao College, for advancing to the third rank and becoming an academy mentor!】
But it was only the third rank, it only drew some envious looks.
Ning An's cultivation had already reached the peak of the second rank!
And he had been stuck there for quite some time.
So advancing to the third rank in martial arts didn't cause much surprise.
Ning An simply replied to some of these messages.
After school, Ning An had always been a lone wolf!
Only two or three people could be considered friends, the rest were just colleagues.
Suddenly, a phone call came in, and even Ning An's face broke into a smile.
"Brother Ning!"
"Congratulations on reaching the third rank!"
"I brought some things over, let's have a good drink."
A cheerful voice came from the other side of the phone.
It was Liu Hao, one of Ning An's few friends!
He was three years younger than Ning An.
His background was a bit better than Ning An's.
He had some connections in Nanjiang Martial Arts University and became a counselor as well.
The two of them met on the battlefield, when Liu Hao was being pursued by the barbarians.
Ning An rescued him, and after that, Liu Hao kept asking him for guidance.
Later, Ning An got a lot of materials from the battlefield, and Liu Hao helped him sell them.
They became friends through these interactions!
"Okay, see you at the dormitory!"
Ning An didn't say much, just said it calmly.
The counselor's dormitory was still quite simple, but after becoming a mentor, he would be assigned to a dormitory specifically provided for mentors.
Not only would the space be much larger, but the most important thing was that the spiritual energy concentration would also increase significantly.
After a while, Liu Hao appeared.
He brought a lot of food and drinks!
In this era, because there were mutated animals in most of the wilderness, land was scarce, and some special items were naturally expensive.
Especially wine, these few bottles alone were worth one spiritual stone.
Even Ning An was a little surprised!
He originally thought that Liu Hao would just bring a bottle of wine as a gesture.
He didn't understand what was going on with his friend.
"Brother Ning, I'm going to leave Nanjiang Martial Arts University."
"I'm going back to my base to take up a position!"
"Also, my old man has chosen a lot of people to set me up on blind dates."
After a few cups of wine, Liu Hao spoke, his face showing both unwillingness and relief.
He and Ning An had similar talents!
Their cultivation levels were both at the second rank, but they were still some time away from the peak of the second rank.
However, during a battlefield mission, he suffered some injuries.
The injury affected his foundation, making it almost impossible to break through to the third rank.
Ning An knew about Liu Hao's situation, and he couldn't help but feel a little silent.
Originally, Ning An had been quite happy about his breakthrough to the third rank.
But now, with his friend leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Fortunately, Ning An's emotional control was good.
He had seen a lot of death and separation over the years.
Liu Hao's cultivation wasn't great, so going back to his base might be a good thing.
After all, the base was much safer than the battlefield.
Plus, he was almost thirty years old, so it was time for blind dates.
Besides, Ning An couldn't help but think of his family back in Qingshan Base.
His mother, wife, and daughter!
Thinking about it, he had gotten married early in this life.
His wife was the daughter of his high school teacher, named Wen Zhi Qiao.
Their marriage was kind of like a contract marriage.
After getting married, they each went their own way, respecting each other.
Especially Wen Zhi Qiao, she didn't get into Martial Arts University, but instead chose to join a martial arts gym.
With some of his resources to support her, she was doing alright.
She had become a martial artist through a lot of hard work.
Later, she took over from her father and became a teacher.
But she was still a long way from the second rank in martial arts.
As for his daughter, even Ning An didn't expect his efficiency to be so high.
A few months after getting married, Wen Zhi Qiao became pregnant.
Unfortunately, he didn't get to spend much time with his daughter.
He didn't know what his daughter looked like now, it had been three years.
He had thought about going back a couple of years ago.
But every time he thought about it, something would come up.
Especially when the barbarians attacked the spatial passage, all the martial artists had to go to the battlefield.
After becoming a mentor, he had a lot more free time.
Maybe he should go back and have a look!
"Come on, drink!"
Ning An didn't say much, because he was a little sentimental, and said directly.
