Even though Ning An felt that his brothers-in-law were a bit strange at his father-in-law's house,
he didn't think much of it for the time being.
Because Wen Zhi Qiao had never told him anything about the Wen family.
Of course, Ning An could still see his father-in-law's stubborn side.
For example, Ning An had brought up,
"Why not borrow some resources to help your brothers-in-law become martial artists?"
"Once they become martial artists, they can slowly repay you!"
This suggestion itself was a bit of a help to his father-in-law's family.
It would at least save his brothers-in-law a few years of resource accumulation.
He could still feel it!
His brothers-in-law weren't that far from becoming martial artists.
But his father-in-law refused without hesitation, which attracted resentful glances from his brothers-in-law.
Even Ning An was a little confused, and on the way back, he couldn't help but ask Wen Zhi Qiao.
"Husband, my father clearly gave up on these brothers."
"He wants to keep a little affection!"
"After all, there are still grandchildren."
Wen Zhi Qiao spoke frankly.
As his daughter, she understood her father best.
Her brothers' potential was capped there!
Coupled with their somewhat strained relationship with her,
it was better to maintain a bit of affection, which might come in handy later.
And Wen Cheng Ru hadn't forgotten that Ning An was still very young.
He had plenty of room to grow in the future!
It goes without saying how important it was to maintain affection.
"I see!"
A flash of understanding crossed Ning An's eyes as he said.
However, he had no opinion of his father-in-law!
It was simply human nature; if he were in the same position, he would probably do the same.
He didn't dwell on it.
Instead, he turned to ask Wen Zhi Qiao about Qing Shan No. 15 High School.
"There are a few new transfer students at Qing Shan No. 15 High School now."
"Although some of them are here for the quotas, it has definitely increased the school's potential."
Wen Zhi Qiao said happily.
She still hoped that her alma mater, Qing Shan No. 15 High School, would get better and better.
The school wasn't stupid; these transfer students wanted quotas.
So they had to sign an agreement not to transfer schools again.
Otherwise, these students would transfer schools before the college entrance exam, which would be like doing favors for others.
Especially since Qing Shan No. 15 High School had Wen Zhi Qiao.
There were many students who wanted to get close to her.
"This time, our goal for the High School League is to make it into the top 32, which would be a success."
Wen Zhi Qiao's voice continued.
This goal wasn't too far-fetched, but it wasn't easy either.
Some strong high schools, including those with top students, had offered many conditions to keep students from leaving.
Ning An shook his head.
With him in charge of Qing Shan Base, the students were undoubtedly becoming more competitive.
Of course, it was better to be competitive now than to be outdone by others.
Many students would regret not practicing hard enough after the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam.
It was not advisable for students to cram at the last minute in their senior year.
Next, Ning An arranged his schedule.
He practiced his swordsmanship in the morning, handled Qing Shan Base affairs at noon.
After that, he began his daily cultivation.
Ning An's time was a little tight right now.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten to keep an eye on the High School League schedule.
The top 32 round would be held about a month before the opening of the competition!
By then, Ning An would be waiting in the shadows, ready to take charge.
He was planning to lure in the heretical martial artists!
But the problem was, it wasn't guaranteed to work.
Qing Shan Base was relatively weak, so the heretical martial artists might not bother with it.
It wasn't impossible!
At least there had been very few incidents of heretical martial artists attacking Qing Shan Base.
On the other hand, powerful bases often had heretical martial artist attacks.
"Maybe that's the advantage of being weak,"
This was Ning An's biggest realization!
It seemed like a good thing, but it was actually very bad for the future development of Qing Shan Base.
Being there in secret was more of a precaution!
Ning An didn't want to have any accidents at the first High School Martial Arts League he held.
Time passed day after day.
Each day, Ning An had new insights into swordsmanship.
Combined with his ten years of gradual accumulation in swordsmanship,
finally, after the sun rose on this day!
Bathed in the first rays of morning light, Ning An's accumulated swordsmanship insights were enough for a breakthrough.
"The sword is as hot as the red sun!"
"This is sword intent?!"
After a long while, Ning An murmured softly, with a hint of sharpness in his voice.
Sword intent, blade intent, spear intent, and so on!
These were all exclusive to prodigies, one of the ways they could be invincible at the same level.
With his swordsmanship surpassing the mortal realm, Ning An could now be considered a swordsmanship prodigy.
Coupled with his ten years of grinding away at swordsmanship, his sword intent emerged, breaking free from its cocoon.
With his current sword intent, Ning An's strength could crush ordinary mid-stage 4th-grade martial artists.
When his cultivation reached the late-stage 4th grade!
Even an ordinary peak 4th-grade martial artist wouldn't stand a chance against him.
He felt that he was just a little step away from reaching the late-stage 4th grade.
He had originally been waiting for the heretical martial artists to attack.
However, even in the top 32 and top 16 rounds, he hadn't seen any unusual figures.
It wasn't until the top 8 round!
A month had passed since the start of the High School League.
As planned, the High School League main competition would last about a month and a half.
At this point, Ning An's cultivation had also broken through.
With the help of the 6th-grade martial artist experience he had gained, enough resources,
as well as some insights gained from the increase in luck, and so on.
In addition, his swordsmanship talent also increased his cultivation speed to a certain extent.
The day before his swordsmanship talent was set to expire,
Ning An's cultivation finally reached the late-stage 4th grade!
He was basically at the end of the 4th-grade path.
Compared to when he had just reached the 4th-grade, his strength had increased tremendously.
Especially with the sword intent boost, he was no longer outmatched by some prodigy-level opponents at the same level.
