If she's reaction like this then that meant Sean had really suffered all this time.
"Is it painful trying to unlock a meridian point?" Asks one of the teachers.
"Before you unlock it, you need to unclog it and the process is incredibly painful, as if your body and soul is being pricked by a sharp object." Her face grimaces in pain as she recalls those experience.
"If you failed to unlock it, your body will suffer catastrophic injuries that will make all your pores bleed, your bones unresponsive, your ligaments torn, your internal organs would also suffer a shock."
Sean listening to all of this starts sweating bullets, he didn't know that he was doing something so dangerous casually.
Seeing his expression, she stops talking and says. "I don't want him to relive such experience so I'm going to end it here."
Sean coughs slightly. "I truly didn't unlock a meridian point, only slightly opening it, if you want to become an innate ranker, you need to fully unclog it and widen the transit point." (This came from the system not from himself)
"You really have so much knowledge of something so mysterious, just how *Sigh* I'm not even going to ask that, just answer me this, will this help someone unlock their meridian points."
"Yes, the process is still painful but no longer as dangerous as you experience before, not only that, my technique will help strengthen the passageway, easing up the pain with diligent cultivation."
The girls that obtained Basic Cultivation Technique were ecstatic to find that they now have a much higher chance of reaching gold rank.
With their experience and training they do, they only need to nurture their mystique creatures to help refine their vital force for a much smoother rank up.
Kommi has an excellent grade mystique creature, setting her for life, Missel and Dorothy both has rare grade mystique creatures, much better compared to normal people.
"We wouldn't be training for the next couple of days, I'll be busy examining the rest of the students serving as the substitute."
"With you as our team leader, we wouldn't need to worry about becoming the champion." Jericho calmly states.
"My strength clearly has improved but I don't think that the competition will be that easy." Sean solemnly said.
"I think so too." The principal agrees with his words.
"With the changes and current situation of humanity, the competition will not only based on a single individual but more likely in a group." Sean shares his thoughts to everyone.
"What do you think the type of event that the competition will host?" Asks Fabuki.
"This is only speculation but I think they're going to host a survival challenge but unlike what ours did, it wouldn't be in a control environment, meaning, many students are going to die."
This plunges the mood into a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
"This is just a speculation, okay? I don't think that they're going to just let so many students die, maybe they'll give us something to protect ourselves if such event really occurs." He quickly adds.
"Why do you think that it's going to be a survival challenge?" Asks Cherry.
"They're preparing." Sean sighs when he said this.
"Preparing for what?"
"For war, I had been looking at the new changes and the rewards given by the Federation, all of them wants to expand, not because our population is too much but because of necessity, they're training us to join the frontline if needed."
"It seems that the Federation realized that we're fighting a losing battle, rather than passively get exterminated, they decided to gamble it all in this era where the progress of martial arts is much higher than before."
Everyone becomes silent after hearing his words.
"But of course, every single thing I said was all speculation, after all, we aren't really united as whole."
His words actually puts them deep in thought, when they were leaving his home, they're still pondering about the future.
Meanwhile, Sean was waiting for the full moon to come out at this day.
Tonight, Jasmine will break through the bronze rank, increasing his strength and the quality of Beast World.
Early in the night, when the moon was high, Sean and Jasmine went to the Outside, specifically, the inner core.
There, he watches as the moonlight shines directly on Jasmine, bathing her with a gentle glow.
Her charm unconsciously activates causing Sean's expression to change, he looks around vigilantly.
Another tail appears on her as her figure actually grows bigger and whiter.
The Ninetails Lunar Fox Cultivation automatically activates and illusion starts appearing around her.
The yang essence she has absorbed and are now currently flowing within her core starts melting with her demonic energy.
The lunar yin water drops she has cultivated also fuses with the two energies, creating a stable balance.
The vitality she's been storing in her body supports her transformation, giving her a safe transition from iron rank to bronze rank.
Then, an aura appears on her body, looks like silver but not of metal.
Sean seems to be tearing up, he msnufhedtey his aura by sheer luck and cheating while Jasmine manifested hers by just ranking up, what kind of difference is that?
ROAR! SKREE!
The commotion attracts a lot of attention, without hesitation, the two of them quickly left the place least they were surrounded.
'Did she evolved?' He can't help but think this seeing that she now has three tails.

He was speechless by the amount of resources he needs to gather in order to create this.
That meant that the Miniature Sun would also be the same.
Jasmine has to work hard in order to satisfy the first requirement, to condense a thousand drops of lunar yin water is crazy!
"How can I even obtain demonic essence and spiritual essence?" He can't help but be speechless.
[Demonic essence can be found on monsters, have the Demonic Three-tailed Lunar Fox absorb their vitality to obtain the essence.
Spiritual essence is the liquid form of spiritual energy after it's refined to the highest state.]
The first one is dangerous for Jasmine but at least she can mitigate it with Ninetails Lunar Fox Cultivation.
The second one.
"Can I also use the spiritual essence I refine?" He asks, doesn't want to burden it all on Jasmine.
[Affirmative, if the Normal Moon is created, the system can create a cultivation technique similar to the Ninetails Lunar Fox Cultivation or just bound the technique with the host's contracted mystique creatures.]
Sean nods his head, for now, they had to reach silver rank, he doesn't want to fully focus in creating such treasure.
Maybe he'll focus on it once they reach gold rank.
Jasmine is still fired up after her rank up, she didn't stay with him and went to the roof to cultivate.
He meditates inside his room, now that he's approaching silver rank, he needs to absorb a lot of spiritual energy to improve his realm.
Deep in the night, when everyone seems to be asleep, someone enters his room.
Of course, he immediately notices it and opens his eyes, only to see Hina with her tight pajama blushing as she enters the room.
"Hina? What are you doing here?" He asks in confusion.
Her expression quickly changes as she gestures to keep quiet.
He doesn't understand her actions but decided to listen to her.
"Is it true about what the principal had said earlier?" She asks as she sits besides him.
She looks at him with her big cute eyes, seemingly on the verge of tears.
His lip twitches, he can't even explain himself even if he wanted to.
After all, even if he says the truth, they'll only think of it as lies.
He sighs inwardly and can only nods his head in reluctance.
Unbeknownst to him, his reluctance has a different meaning on the eyes of Hina.
She thinks that he doesn't want them to worry about him and doesn't want to inform them about the dangerous activities he does for their sake.
Trembling slightly, she was hurt and is guilty for having burdened him of her dream.
She takes a deep breath, with a look full of determination, she says. "You don't need to carry all on your own, every one of us had now step foot at the path of transcendence, you can now count on us."
