Chapter 5 is waiting for three months

Jiajia, please do not act this way

... ...

The exceptionally strong contrast left Zhou Yi momentarily stunned. Is this really his sister, who rarely shows a smile? What is she... doing? Is she... being affectionate?

The competition among the younger generation is entirely different from the admissions process of Brilliant Academy. For admission to Brilliant Academy, one must reach the sixth level of body training before the age of sixteen. However, this competition allows participants under the age of twenty, resulting in a highly diverse group. Some individuals who were not selected by Brilliant Academy have achieved notable results after years of hard training, and some have even awakened a portion of their predictive abilities.

Zhou Yi was sweating profusely, and the girl's heaving chest kept brushing against his arm. A wave of illicit desire surged within him, accompanied by a sense of guilt. Although they were not blood relatives, she was, after all, his sister.

In the moment just before the kiss, she suddenly stopped, as if recalling something, quickly pulling away, her flushed face buried in her chest, looking alluringly vibrant

Brother, you need not belittle yourself; achieving this level solely through physical means is already quite remarkable

With a soft chuckle, I fixed my gaze on the beautiful young girl before me, "I won't encounter any danger when I go out, and I have many friends outside, so I won't be wronged."

Hmm, how did you just come out of the Sword Dance?

Brother

It is possible that this is the only way he would appear in front of Xiao Yi... The Third Elder provided a definitive explanation, and beyond that, he could not think of any other reasons.

Hmm?

"Not going anymore." Zhou Yiren allowed the girl to hold him like this, and his previously low spirits completely vanished. "You should be able to make it into the top ten, right?"

Zhou Jiajia's delicate face still bore the traces of astonishment, and under such an intense barrage of attacks, any reasonable person would have chosen to evade. Charging in was tantamount to seeking death. Yet, Zhou Yi emerged unscathed from the chaotic and fierce onslaught, with hundreds of sword lights not even brushing against the hem of his clothes

You must accompany me for three months; by then, I will also be attending the Brilliant Academy. After that, you can leave, otherwise, I will ignore you.

Brother

A few drops of sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead; if the young men of the Zhou family and even those from Duancheng were to see their cold and elegant goddess in such a state, they would likely be so shocked that their eyes would pop out.

Hehe

Uh ... ...

The tinkling laughter of silver bells in the quiet night is like the gentle drip of spring water, crisp and pure

In a state of helplessness, Zhou Yi had no choice but to compromise. He could have forcefully pulled his arm away and left gracefully. However, doing so would have truly been foolish.

You let go first

I remember when I was young, every time Zhou Yi was forcibly persuaded, she would gently kiss her brother's cheek. However, those days are long gone; both of them are approaching adulthood, and such behavior now seems too unreserved. Despite the fact that he is her closest and most beloved brother since childhood.

You are no longer stopping me now

"Is it impressive?" Zhou Yi retracted his fist, a sense of desolation rising between his brows. As a waste who could not even cultivate his vital energy, yet able to defeat a genius at the sixth level of body refinement, the pain endured in this process was perhaps known only to him.

"Old man, am I seeing things?" Grandma Yun wiped her murky eyes; this scene was even more shocking than when she had just seen Li Yu evade hundreds of sword lights.

This is a perception I have summarized through continuous struggle

Excellent

I... Zhou Jiajia gritted her silver teeth, and after a few breaths, slowly raised her head. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky. "I just want my brother to spend a little more time with me..."

The girl's eyes are filled with softness, and her gentle murmurs are incredibly heartwarming

What is it ... ...

Zhou Jiajia simply held onto Zhou Yi's other hand, pressing it tightly against her delicate body. With bright eyes feigning a hint of innocence, she said in a pitiful tone, "In any case, you are not allowed to leave"

Oh..." Zhou Jiajia slightly raised her beautiful eyes, quietly looking at Zhou Yi, "Brother, you should participate. If you are noticed by the sect, you could achieve something.

As soon as the words were spoken, the young girl lowered her head again, not daring to make eye contact, the pink hue on her delicate face spreading to her ears

Ah?

... ...

Ah ... ...

They are just jealous. Zhou Yi gently tapped the fair and delicate forehead of the girl and said, "Think about it, you reached the sixth level of physical training at the age of fifteen, while they couldn't enter the Brilliant Academy at that age due to insufficient rank. They must harbor resentment deep down, and during the clan competition, they will definitely go all out."

The unprecedented boldness of the young girl finally allowed Zhou Yi to experience a stirring deep within his heart

Is this still Jiajia

Zhou Yi looked at his sister with a strange expression. Zhou Jiajia had a cool demeanor, spoke very little, and it was rare to see her in such a shy appearance

If you do not agree, I will not let go

Sweat trickled down his forehead, and several scenes suddenly flashed through his mind, merging with the present moment. When he was very young, he would sit with a girl, gently stroking her hair, while she would tightly embrace her arms and quietly listen to him share some curious and interesting stories

If one were to enter a sect, it could be said that they would soar to great heights. Families from small towns like theirs cannot compare in terms of foundation with those sects. Even the disciples within those sects, even if they possess extremely poor talent, ultimately still manage to present themselves in a respectable manner

This action caused Zhou Jiajia to lift her head once more, gazing up at the young man. The childishness of her early years had completely faded away, and the familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared resolute. It seemed that she had not scrutinized her brother so closely in a long time, a privilege she had only dared to indulge in when she was very young.

The girl, as light as a mosquito's sound, had not yet recovered from her earlier shyness, "Are you participating in this family comparison with the library this time?"

However, it is indeed the case that while the two elders can provide care, it is difficult for them to engage in the essential communication necessary for growth. The appearance of Zhou Yi perfectly fills this gap; he is not only an older brother but also a companion, and his lack of the typical childishness found in ordinary youths has led Zhou Jiajia to increasingly rely on him, to the point that one could even say she has developed an attachment.

Alright

It is expected to begin in about a month. It would be good for you to participate and build your confidence. Originally, this clan competition was not intended for you. In three months, when the people from Huiguang Academy arrive, it will be the most brilliant time for you talented individuals.

I am not sure, but I have heard that there are four or five individuals with semi-awakened powers, who are five or six years older than us. Moreover, they show no mercy when battling our group of six-stage body cultivators, and several of them were severely injured last year.

The competition among the three families refers to the contest among the young practitioners of the three prominent families: the Zhou, Liu, and Su families. This event is akin to a selection tournament. Those who achieve good results not only have the opportunity to obtain martial arts techniques acquired through financing from the three families but may also attract the attention of sects seeking talented individuals.

I don't care

Zhou Jiajia, in an unusual manner, pouted her rosy lips to express her dissatisfaction, and the girl's delicate arrogance instantly radiated.

The young girl seemed to have known the outcome long ago. In her joy, she stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Zhou Yi's face, and her rosy lips drew nearer and nearer.

The concepts of realm and physical training are entirely different. After advancing to a higher level, one's strength can increase several times. In confrontations and in literature, victory cannot be achieved merely through numbers. If one fully awakens the power of deduction and steps into the realm of spiritual integration, no amount of physical training will be able to shake it in the slightest.

Rubbing his reddened fists, just those initial few strikes against the rock-solid vitality shield had already made his body struggle to cope

I am not for this reason

What is going on with Jiajia... Grandma Yun patted her forehead, as the events of this evening were simply too bizarre. First, the fact that this grandson, who is unable to cultivate his vital energy, has actually reached such a level of strength is astonishing. Furthermore, it is unbelievable that the usually aloof granddaughter would actually act spoiled.

It seems my eyes have also blurred... The Third Elder wished he could find a wall to crash into. Ever since this granddaughter became sensible, her personality has been quite indifferent, lacking the vivacity typical of young girls, and she, like Zhou Yi, exhibits a maturity that is markedly inconsistent with her peers.

"Ah... the naive little girl." She shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I cannot cultivate my vital energy; my life will only reach this level. But you are different. I can defeat you now, but what about a year from now? Three years from now? Will the sect need someone who cannot cultivate vital energy?"

Perhaps this posture resembles that of her childhood too closely, causing Zhou Jiajia's demeanor to transform into that of the little girl she once was

Zhou Jiajia frowned slightly at the nose, expressing extreme dissatisfaction with this behavior

Zhou Yi reached out and gently stroked the girl's silky, smooth hair on top of her head

Zhou Jiajia's face flushed with a hint of shyness, appearing somewhat flustered as she stammered, "It's because, because..."
