Bai Rouyun left the auction house in a good mood, but although she was happy, she was also slightly alert. She knew that the alchemist would act against her, but as to when he would act, she did not know.

She hurried to an alleyway where she changed her clothes. Instead of leaving through the way she had entered, she jumped onto the buildings' roofs and took a detour.

She was quite sure that no one had followed her, but to make sure; she took a strange route back to the institute.

As she entered the Insitute grounds, she returned to the classroom, only to find that the teacher was still seated behind the desk, reading a book, while the students were in their seats, some were glaring at the teacher, while others were looking out the window.

Sensing that she had returned, all of them looked towards the door and frowned. Had she not already given up on the tuition?

Most of them thought that this was a test by the teacher. That as long as they stayed dedicated, he would take them to learn something, but nothing had happened, even though so much time had already passed.

Seeing them all so stubborn, Bai Rouyun raised an eyebrow in surprise. She was not here for the sake of staring at the teacher, so she went to the teacher's desk, placed a hand on the table, and leaned over.

Sensing the shadow blocking the light, the teacher raised his head again, looking at her with narrowed eyes.

"Are we allowed to use the training facilities at school?" Bai Rouyun straightened her back as she asked, and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked extraordinarily casual and carefree, her entire demeanor lazy.

A flash of interest appeared in the teacher's eyes, but it vanished as soon as it had appeared, and no one noticed it.

"Sure," he said. "The majority of the school grounds require mission points to access. These mission points can be earned by doing missions, and the higher your grade, the more you get each month as an allowance. Of course, you get none," he said smugly.

Unfortunately, Bai Rouyun was not listening any longer, and had turned around and left the classroom once more, making all the students puzzled. Had she returned merely for that question?

The teacher gazed at the door for some time, before a smirk appeared on his lips. It seemed that not all the students in this class were idiots; at least this little lass was fascinating.

But as to whether or not she had what it took to leave the class, that depended solely on herself and her ability.

Bai Rouyun did not care about what the teacher thought; she just went out of the building and started walking towards the martial arts grounds. This was a place where there were arenas and dummies to train on. This was also one of the only free places to train.

There were many different facilities, but most of them cost mission points to access, so Bai Rouyun quickly decided just to train her martial art techniques for the day.

As for the following day, she would likely accept a mission and gain some mission points. As the teacher said, everything depended on themselves; they had to do their utmost to advance, which was also a good lesson for all.

Although they had entered the institute, they were not geniuses, here they were merely the weakest amongst the weakest, and they had to step up if they wanted to change fate.

Some would succumb to the pressure while others would flourish and become real geniuses.

Bai Rouyun was naturally amongst the group of people who would not even care if the teacher taught her or not. She doubted that he had as much experience as she did.

While she had some issues with her cultivation base in her previous life, she still had a lot of experience in cultivating and fighting, making it so that she could easily improve many times over. All she needed was time.

Bai Rouyun slowly walked to the training fields, found a dummy, and began training her martial arts.

She had numerous martial arts techniques she had not practiced after her rebirth, and she stood with the sword in her hands as she looked at the dummy.

She wondered which one to train and ended up choosing one of the more low-ranking skills she had in her arsenal.

Windhowl Slash.

It was a sword attack that relied heavily on speed. It was swift like the wind, causing the sword to howl, and while it looked like a regular slash, due to the speed and the Qi that was infused into it, it was much stronger than an ordinary slash.

She began with the pose and slashed down the sword in the air. She continued making the same slash a few times before she felt the right feeling, and she then moved on to train it on the dummies.

In her past life, she had used many hours to get the right feel for this attack. She had trained it in the cold rain and in the scorching sunshine. She had been extremely hardworking, and it had nearly become a habit to train it, but it was long since she had last trained, and she had, after all, taken over this body, so she was not sure if she still held the same control over the attack.

She had quickly realized that although her body had changed, the attack she had learned was still as vivid in her mind as she remembered, and the attack was still as lethal for others at her level as she had thought.
