My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 162 A Ten Million Dollar Deposit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although Jiangye currently has enough resources.

But after the second breakthrough, monthly expenses will soar to millions.

He needs to plan ahead.

Take the present as an example, Jiang Ye has already felt that the effects of the low-grade Xuan-level martial ginseng are not as significant as before.

After a while, I will have to try the mid-grade Xuan-level martial ginseng and martial spirit mushroom.

The price difference is four times.

As you progress in the Starry Sky Martial Arts, the higher the level, the greater the cost of improvement.

"Teacher," Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask curiously, "how much is the endorsement fee usually?"

"At least five million or more," Zhu Honglie said with a smile. "Different companies have different standards, so you'll have to judge for yourself."

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment.

He was indeed somewhat tempted, but he also had his own concerns.

“If I endorse those companies,” Jiang Ye said, “they later go bankrupt, wouldn’t I become the scapegoat?”

"Yes, you are very cautious."

Zhu Honglie nodded in satisfaction, then added, "Every benefit comes with risk."

"That's why I said earlier that you need to weigh it yourself."

"You can choose to develop steadily and save money slowly, or you can accept gifts from others, but you will also bear the corresponding risks," Zhu Honglie said.

Jiang Ye nodded and said nothing more.

He knew that his teacher couldn't offer him much more advice on this matter.

You need to weigh it yourself.

"The second thing," Zhu Honglie continued, "is that I will arrange an S-level operation for you in two weeks. Be prepared."

"An S-level operation?" Jiang Ye held his breath.

He had heard about it from his teacher before the freshman competition.

Penglai University's practical operations are divided into four levels: S, A, B, C, and D.

The higher the level, the greater the reward, but also the greater the danger.

Of course, it must be within a reasonable range.

An S-level mission for freshmen means the highest level of task that a freshman can handle.

"You will be carrying out this mission alongside Yun Qing'er, Shen Changxi, and Liu Wanxiao," Zhu Honglie added. "The codename for this operation is—[Fortress Judgment]!"

"Fortress Judgment!?" Jiang Ye held his breath.

That sounds extraordinary!
"You'll find out the specifics later," Zhu Honglie said with a mysterious smile.

"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded.

"The school will evaluate your performance in this operation."

"If your performance is outstanding enough," Zhu Honglie said with a smile, "the reward will exceed your expectations."

"If you can get the highest score, the school will also provide extremely valuable martial arts-specific resources."

"You should know that some things cannot be bought with money, just like the gifts from Penglai." Zhu Honglie smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Ye nodded emphatically.

indeed!

The gifts from Penglai and the Starry Sea are things that even the greatest treasures could not buy.

"By the way, teacher." Jiang Ye suddenly remembered something and asked, "I saw in the top-tier contract that it says we have five opportunities to study at Hakuryu University each year. When is that?"

"Hakuryu University?"

"That's still a long way off." Zhu Honglie shook his head and smiled. "At least, let's talk about it when you reach the second breakthrough."

“Going to Hakuryu University for further studies is indeed very important for you.”

"Hakuryu University, as one of the top ten prestigious universities, exists based on the 'Hakuryu Garden.' You will experience that when the time comes."

"But the primary requirement for further study is to achieve the second breakthrough."

“Otherwise, we won’t get much help even if we go,” Zhu Honglie said, shaking his head.

“The student understands.” Jiang Ye nodded immediately.

He suddenly realized something.

No wonder the teacher never mentioned this before.

It seems that his abilities haven't yet met the requirements for further study.

"All right."

"That's enough about what's on the topic," Zhu Honglie said solemnly. "Now, let's adjust your cultivation plan."

“Yes.” Jiang Ye immediately perked up his ears.

"Starting today, your daily practice time will be reduced by two hours."

"The time for asking me questions will be increased by one hour, and the time for challenging the Starry Sky level will be increased by one hour," Zhu Honglie adjusted his cultivation plan.

Jiang Ye listened attentively.

The cultivation plan must be adjusted according to his growth progress.

Zhu Honglie's adjustment plan came at a very opportune time.

"Two hours less training time?" Jiang Ye thought to himself, "These two hours have been added to asking questions and actual combat."

He nodded secretly.

Very reasonable.

Now, relying solely on cultivation, his progress is becoming increasingly slow.

On the contrary, intense battles can help him improve rapidly.

Just like his previous duel with Shen Changxi, Jiang Ye's marksmanship improved significantly in just a few minutes.

"Within six months, your Starry Sky Rank must reach Level Two," Zhu Honglie added at the end.

Jiang Ye was taken aback.

Within six months, second stage?

It's very difficult.

He hasn't even reached the first stage yet.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Is it because of the Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup?"

Six months later, it coincided with the start of the Genius Cup. "Not bad."

"Only when you reach the second level of the Starry Sky rank," Zhu Honglie said calmly, "will you have a chance to achieve a ranking in the Genius Cup."

"Strive hard and aim for this goal."

“Yes.” Jiang Ye nodded solemnly.

He remembered that if he could reach the second stage of the Starry Sky, the school would also reward him with 5000 million federal dollars.

This is a huge opportunity for advancement.

Jiang Ye, of course, wouldn't miss it.

After that, Zhu Honglie began today's teaching session.

"Whoosh~" Inside the training room, Jiang Ye wielded his spear, sweating profusely.

Zhu Honglie stood to the side, offering guidance from time to time.

time flies.

Zhu Honglie did not leave until four hours later, near dawn.

Jiang Ye, after washing up, entered the Martial Arts Ladder and began a whole night of willpower training.

On the morning of November 1st, inside the training room of the manor.

"boom!"

"Boom!" "Bang~" Jiang Ye held the long spear, which moved like a dragon, each strike as powerful as thunder, with a series of booming sounds.

He was incredibly fast, causing the tip of his spear to leave behind a series of afterimages.

If there were any other experts here who also practiced the Great Sun Spear Technique, they would be astonished.

Because what Jiang Ye used was the twenty-sixth move of the spear technique – Dragon Piercing the Sun!
Just a few days ago, Jiang Ye had only just begun practicing this technique.

But now?
This move has been executed to a perfect degree.

"The spear moves like a dragon, piercing through the blazing sun!" Jiang Ye's strength exploded, accompanied by flashes of star energy.

A phantom image of a great sun appeared.

"Boom!" The spear tip pierced through the phantom image with explosive force.

A silver star ring spread out, unleashing a vast energy shockwave that swept through the entire training room.

A thunderous roar echoed all around.

“It’s already taking shape.” Jiang Ye put away his gun and stood up.

The 26th to 30th forms of the Great Sun Spear Technique are the prototypes of the third ultimate move and are of paramount importance.

It can initially unleash large-scale damage.

Just like Shen Changxi's previous 'Moonfall', it reached a diameter of ten meters and instantly covered the entire arena.

The third move of the Great Sun Spear Technique—Sunfall—is also a killing move of equal scale.

"Gun skill level." Jiang Ye looked at the panel.

【Great Sun Spear Technique: Minor Success (16%) → (20%)】

"In just one day, it increased by 4%." Jiang Ye smiled.

Previously, it might have been less than 3%.

This also shows that Zhu Honglie's adjustment to his cultivation plan was absolutely correct.

Significant progress was made on just the first day.

"My current strength."

"It's improved by at least 20% compared to before," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "If I had this kind of strength yesterday, I might have had a chance to defeat Shen Changxi."

Buzz!

Just as he was thinking this, the smart bracelet suddenly vibrated.

"Beep!" Jiang Ye turned on the projector on his wristband.

【Hello, Jiang Ye!】

Dingsheng Group cordially invites you to discuss commercial endorsement. If you are interested, please click the link below.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Several message notifications sounded in succession.

[Jiang Ye, Sanqiang Group invites you to discuss commercial endorsement]

[Jiang Ye, Beixin Group cordially invites you to discuss endorsement opportunities]

【.】

"Is it a commercial endorsement invitation?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted.

He quickly read through all the messages.

A decision was not made immediately.

"No rush, let's take another look later." Jiang Ye deactivated the bracelet and picked up the spear again.

Cultivation is the real matter.

Everything else can be left behind.

As night fell, Jiang Ye turned on his phone again.

There are more than ten unread messages.

Jiang Ye checked everything one by one, then suddenly his expression changed: "Star Clerk Center?"

Isn't this a company owned by the Federal Examination Authority?

No, this can't even be called a business. The Star Profession Center is already part of the Federation's organization!

Why are they all coming to him for endorsements?
"Link." Jiang Ye pondered for a moment and clicked the link at the bottom of the invitation page.

hum!
The next moment, a projection appeared.

A handsome man dressed in black appeared.

“Jiang Ye,” the handsome man said with a smile, “I am Chen Kang, the director of the Star Professionals Center stationed in Penglai District, Tianhai City.”

"Hello, Director Chen." Jiang Ye nodded.

The handsome man got straight to the point: "On behalf of the Star Professionals Center, I sincerely invite you to sign a pre-approval endorsement contract. The deposit is 1000 million."

"If you reach the top ten in the Genius Cup six months later, you will receive a total of 3000 million Federal Dollars in endorsement fees."
