「The Academy cafeteria.」
Jiang Shu spent a good deal of money to order several dishes of Ban Mountain Mang Beef to treat his distinguished guests.
Shang Jibei sat opposite Jiang Shu. Compared to before, he had lost quite a few pounds; his face was somewhat haggard, and his hair was unkempt. There was also a faint scar on his neck.
But his gaze was sharper than ever, and every breath he took seemed to pulse with boundless strength.
Clearly, he had improved significantly in the Secret Realm.
"I didn't expect that in just over a month, you would have also broken through to Dark Force," Shang Jibei said, his voice filled with unconcealed amazement.
"Moreover, you've taken such a significant step within Dark Force. But by now, you realize that the Academy's resources aren't of much use to us anymore."
