Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

First-tier demon beast, Rat Spirit Core, 500ml Spirit Power Refining Nutrient Solution, 1L Physique Enhancement Solution.

Someone once absorbed the crystal core of a rat spirit and comprehended a special martial art: the biting technique.

Hearing the name, you probably already know what kind of martial art this is.

The crystal core was useless to him, and the spiritual energy refining liquid, which could accelerate the cultivation of spiritual energy, was also useless to him.

He kept the physique enhancement liquid and planned to test it properly at some point. As for the crystal core and the spiritual energy liquid, he intended to sell them.

These things don't work on children under 12, so Zhang Chaoqiang has never entered monster shops that sell monster meat and crystal cores or martial arts shops that sell consumables to enhance martial artists' strength.

But the main reason is that I don't have money, so there's no need to go in and wander around aimlessly.

It seems I have no choice but to make the trip this time. Zhu Bobi once told him that the crystal core of a first-tier demon beast is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, and for some special and powerful demon beasts, it would cost even more.

The classroom was noisy.

There was no complicated team formation process. Zhang Chaoqiang, Tan Yue, Zhu Bobi, Customer, Pang Lei, and Rong Yue, six people who were usually close, automatically formed a six-person team.

On Friday afternoons during breaks, we would hold a team meeting as usual to discuss strategies for the upcoming week's competition. In reality, there wasn't much strategy to discuss; details about the secret realm and the mission content would only be announced closer to the opening of the Golden Armor dungeon.

At the same time, misunderstandings can also serve to strengthen relationships and build bonds between classmates and teammates.

However, it is clear that Zhang Chaoqiang believes there must be two people in this group who have a particularly close and deep relationship.

It wasn't him and Zhu Bobi.

Zhang Chaoqiang looked at Rong Yue, who was sitting there, and a rough, heavy hand was gently resting on her shoulder.

Pang Lei listens to the talkative Zhu Bobi's rambling speech in the group, occasionally being corrected by customers' threats and intimidation.

He often looked at Rongyue with affectionate eyes as she turned her back to him.

After learning that Rongyue already had someone she liked, the customer stopped acting aloof in front of her.

Although there was a layer of clothing between them, it was still physical contact to some extent. The two were quite blatant, with Zhang Chaoqiang staring at the hand on Rong Yue's shoulder. He used a very brief, intense gaze.

Ouch. Pang Lei felt a sharp pain, but the burn didn't leave any marks. He never put his hand on Rong Yue again.

"Damn, Qiang-ge, your eyes were shining just now!" Zhu Bobi noticed this scene and opened his mouth wide in disbelief, a true master of the straight man.

"Your eyes are shining, aren't they?"

The customer turned Zhu Bobi away, saying, "You've been talking for so long and haven't gotten to the point yet. All the other groups are busy devising battle plans. Look at what you've just said!"

"What do you mean by 'recently, pee splits into Gatling guns,' or 'Brother Qiang's eyes light up,' or 'the two male guard dogs at home are having sex with each other'? Do you think your jokes are funny?"

Hahaha…

Besides Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue, even Pang Lei and Rong Yue, who are not good with words, laughed in unison.

"Damn, with this lineup, we have the top five martial arts combat power in the class, the top two mental level manipulators, and even Brother Qiang is already a first-level martial artist. What tactics do we need to discuss?"

"How about we discuss later what kind of fighting stance would be more cool and dashing? There are quite a few beautiful female students in Class 2. God, at most I can act as your wingman and provide assistance, after all..." Zhu Bopi deliberately paused for a few seconds here, and then walked further and further away.

Hearing this, the customer finally nodded: "I'm somewhat relieved that you could say such a thing, but what is it after all?"

"After all, the female students in Class 2 haven't witnessed your 'Hand of God' firsthand, so they don't know that your hands also have a bit of a fishy smell!"

After shouting in a voice only a few people in the group could hear, he made a quick getaway.

Despite his playful nature, Zhu Bobi was quite sensible, only playing around with people he was very familiar with.

After things returned to normal, Zhu Bobi would crack lighthearted jokes to lighten the mood, but he never went overboard like before.

The students all liked this kind of person who could liven up the atmosphere, but was also very reliable.

Unfortunately, the customer was not going to let him off the hook.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang felt that the customer was God, because his efforts to help Zhu Bobi solve his constipation problem were in vain.

His constipation had reached an extremely severe level, which even spiritual energy could not resolve. It was an embarrassing and unspeakable matter, and it was only because of Zhang Chaoqiang's extraordinary observation skills that he noticed it.

But Dr. Sai's customer solved Zhu Bobi's problem in just a few minutes.

Zhang Chaoqiang felt increasingly uneasy. Zhu Bobi, who was very familiar with his customers, seemed to be using them to get rid of his own troubles.

High emotional intelligence, almost like that of a psychopath…

During class, Jin Jia announced the rewards for the top-ranked group in this secret realm trial: a first-tier crystal core and spiritual energy liquid, which excited some of the students in the class.

Not all students in the class come from extremely wealthy families, and these martial arts consumables, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, are not something that can be purchased casually. Therefore, it would be best if they could obtain them through the school.

The previous generation inherited internal spiritual energy, which represents a person's starting point in martial arts.

Ordinary people who started from a low point, steadily improved through hard work, and successfully joined Yuhua Martial Arts School have put in tremendous effort.

"I haven't used the spiritual energy nutrient solution yet. I've heard it can improve the refining and strength of spiritual energy, but I probably won't have the chance; the other groups are too strong..."

"The Rat Spirit is a very rare monster, and its crystal core is extremely precious. Normally, monster shops will not sell this kind of monster crystal core."

The class was abuzz with excitement over the prize, but one of those prizes was currently in Zhang Chaoqiang's schoolbag.

"Zhang Chaoqiang!"

Tan Yue mysteriously tugged at Zhang Chaoqiang's collar through his clothes, and the latter observed.

Tan Yue's face was ashen, she stammered, her condition seemed off, her posture was awkward, and she whispered in a voice barely above a mosquito's buzz, "Help me..."

"Hmm? You don't look well. Is it because you've been too tired from cultivating lately?"

Zhang Chaoqiang was glad that the other party needed his help. He remembered the rewards and the original sales list, which had changed from monster cores and spirit liquid to only monster cores.

He took out the spiritual energy liquid that his classmates were somewhat envious of; it was a Wahaha plastic bottle, and the outer packaging paper could cover the glint of the spiritual energy liquid inside.

"Will this help you?"

Tan Yue's face instantly turned red. She took the plastic bottle containing the liquid with both hands and gently nudged Zhang Chaoqiang's chest.

Zhang Chaoqiang understood; the other person was also going through puberty.

Chapter 93 Twin-Winged Tiger Crystal Core

Zhang Chaoqiang had no choice but to ask Rong Yue, who was in the same group, for help. He spoke frankly and without any hesitation.

Tan Yue lowered her head shyly, and Rong Yue was also somewhat embarrassed. She took Tan Yue's hand and led her to the school clinic for treatment.

These recent embarrassing physiological conditions may affect Tan Yue's performance in the trial.

When she returned, Zhang Chaoqiang still wanted to give her the bottle of spiritual energy liquid.

Over the years, I have received a lot of help from the other party and Lao Chen, but I haven't given much in return. This bottle of spiritual energy liquid, worth tens of thousands, is probably the most suitable gift to give.

Tan Yue hesitated for a long time, her mind in turmoil, before finally deciding to say, "My family's storage room has about several tens of tons of this liquid."

"..."

Tan Yue is just 12 years old and has not yet formally used these resources for cultivation. The accumulation of resources gives her more confidence than others.

Although there are many resources, it ultimately depends on one's own ability; otherwise, no matter how many resources one has, one cannot become a good fool.

Tomorrow is the weekend. After school, Zhang Chaoqiang told Tan Yue and Lao Chen that he had already received the trial rewards in advance and wanted to browse the so-called martial arts shop.

They also sell off things they no longer need.

"Extremely powerful. The martial arts techniques derived from this crystal core are strange, but their destructive power is considerable, and they are very effective at catching people off guard. Furthermore, the nutrient solution promotes the refining of one's spiritual energy. These two things are useless to you?"

Surely Zhang Chaoqiang's family isn't that poor? But since the other party has his reasons for this plan, I won't press further.

Under Lao Chen's guidance, the two, who were under 15 years old, were allowed to enter the martial arts shop with its dazzling array of products.

Located on Tianyun Street, this unassuming martial arts shop's exterior is not much different from that of a typical luxury store. Unlike other shops that are bustling with people, this place appears somewhat deserted.

Inside was a completely different world. In the area of ​​the demon beasts, there were containers filled with flowing spiritual light, each containing an exquisitely crafted crystal core wrapped in a beautifully transparent glass spirit box.

Meanwhile, the store has several guides who patiently explain the goods to customers. Whether they are ordinary people or martial arts practitioners, they all adhere to the principle that the customer is God.

Winged Tiger, a third-tier demonic beast. A tiger-shaped beast with wings on its back, but its wings are mostly just for show. This race is a bit strange; only winged tigers of the fourth tier or higher can have a short period of flight time.

Priced at 30 yuan, and with the tag and the guide's explanation, Zhang Chaoqiang was suddenly transported to another world.

Next to the martial arts shop is a clothing mall that's having a clearance sale; you can buy three pieces of clothing for 30 yuan.

Separated by two walls, the goods are worlds apart.

Looking at the other third-tier crystal cores again, they were all unremarkable, with prices mostly around 200,000.

Seeing Zhang Chaoqiang secretly making comparisons, the guide immediately explained to him, Tan Yue, Lao Chen, and the others: "Gentlemen, although the Winged Tiger is expensive, this powerful monster with the ability to fly is worth the price."

After absorption, it can greatly enhance a martial artist's physique, and depending on individual ability, there's even a chance to develop and comprehend speed-based or even flight-based martial arts techniques!

"It depends on individual ability"... that statement is quite profound.

"Has anyone derived any martial arts related to flight from the crystal core of a third-tier winged tiger?" Zhang Chaoqiang asked curiously.

After quickly checking the information, the guide explained the facts with an apologetic look: "Yes, but it's not a martial art related to flight. The record shows that the absorber of the third-tier Twin-Winged Tiger Crystal Core developed his own speed martial art through a series of coincidences."

"So only crystal cores of the fourth rank or higher have the opportunity to allow martial artists to develop flight-type martial arts?"

"Theoretically and in practice, this is indeed the case."

However, the Twin-Winged Tiger is already on the verge of extinction. In our official martial arts shop, Twin-Winged Tiger cores of level four and above have been out of stock for two years. This level three core is the last one. What the shop assistant didn't mention was that the probability of obtaining flight-related martial arts skills derived from level four and above was also extremely low.

"Okay, thank you, I understand."

Although a third-tier crystal core cannot enable a martial artist to develop flight-type martial arts, is there any chance that might arise through the body's [imitation and learning]?

I'm tempted, but if it fails after I spend the money, then it'll be heartbreaking.

The allure of it is akin to the most stunning item in the store; its special effects, such as speed and flight, make it highly sought after in the military.

Even if their combat strength is not strong, and flying is already a form of using martial arts, they generally cannot attend to other battles. However, being in a team, they are extremely effective in both providing support and traversing special terrains.

Nothing else could interest him. He glanced at the crystal core for a moment before looking away, afraid of being discovered by Tan Yue and Lao Chen.

Zhang Chaoqiang sold the Rat Spirit Crystal Core and 500ml of Spirit Power Liquid at the front desk, earning a total of 6 yuan, which was credited to his account in real time via his Little Genius smartwatch.

So he asked, "Tan Yue, is there anything you like?"

She had everything she needed, but she didn't want to refuse Zhang Chaoqiang's kindness. After circling around a few times, she pointed slightly to the area on the front shelf that was covered with monster doll keychains.

From crystal cores to keychains, from 30 to 30 yuan, Zhang Chaoqiang once again felt the disparity in prices after buying a bunch of keychains for Tan Yue.

Only with keen observation did Zhang Chaoqiang notice that the other person's gaze was still fixed on a beautiful ceramic cat keychain locked in a glass cabinet at the top.

Upon inquiry, it was discovered that this kitten was actually a juvenile Twin-Winged Tiger. It was the only one of its kind in all the martial arts shops in the Central Kingdom, a unique item, and was only given as a gift when the only Tier 3 Twin-Winged Tiger Crystal Core in the shop was purchased.
