High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie was secretly pleased, knowing that this "confession" and test had far exceeded his expectations. He had successfully created the persona of a "walking super blood and qi purification generator," ensuring unimpeded access to resources in the future.

"Thank you for your trust, Chairman Chen and Special Envoy Nangong!" Su Jie said "sincerely." "This junior will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations!"

He knew that with the Federation as a powerful backer and with its vast resources, his path in martial arts would be much smoother! And it seemed he could be a little more unrestrained in the martial arts exams?

Chen Mingyang looked at Nangong Bo, their eyes met, and they instantly reached a consensus.

All the previous doubts, interrogations, and investigations seemed meaningless at this moment. They were not facing a genius whose risks needed to be assessed, but a living miracle worthy of being recorded in the annals of human history!

Nangong Bo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement. His attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change, and his tone became more solemn than ever before, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible respect:

"Su Jie, please forgive our previous offense and skepticism. Your situation has exceeded the scope of conventional handling. I, Nangong Bo, as the special envoy of the Federal Central Parliament, hereby formally extend to you the highest level of invitation—to join the core sequence of the 'Morning Star' project!"

"The Federation will do everything in its power to provide you with all the cultivation resources you need, the best mentors, and the most comprehensive protection! Your only task is to grow! Grow up safely and as quickly as possible!"

Chen Mingyang also said in a deep voice, "Su Jie, Linjiang City, and even Tiandu Province, will become your strongest support. The matter concerning your physique will be classified as a top federal secret, known only to a few of us and the highest levels of the council. To the outside world, we will declare that you are a martial arts genius, one in ten thousand, a prodigy secretly cultivated by Master Yue Wuji."

Yang Baichuan and Chairman Bai listened with great excitement. They knew that from this moment on, Su Jie's fate would be completely changed, and Linjiang City would also come into the view of the highest level of the Federation because of Su Jie!

Seeing the two big shots' drastic change in attitude, Su Jie felt secretly pleased, but on the surface, he maintained a "well-behaved" and "somewhat bewildered" demeanor.

"Thank you, Chairman Chen, and thank you, Special Envoy Nangong. It is an honor for me to contribute to the Federation. However, regarding resources..."

He subtly revealed a hint of "shyness" and "expectation."

Nangong Bo immediately understood and waved his hand, "Don't worry about the resources! The first batch of support will be in place immediately! This includes, but is not limited to: a 10 billion credit line from the Federal Bank, unrestricted access to S-level and below missions, and I will personally coordinate the first wave of resource allocation within one day, allocating 10 million points of Qi and Blood for your priority use!"

Ten million points of Qi and Blood!

Even though Su Jie was mentally prepared, he was still a little dizzy from the sheer number! And this was only the first wave of resource support! Indeed, it's good to have a powerful backer!

"Of course," Nangong Bo added, "the specific resource allocation will need to be discussed by the parliament. But you will definitely not be disappointed. Now, you need to come back to the Federal Headquarters with me for a more comprehensive assessment and protection."

Su Jie naturally understood that this was both protection and a form of "isolation," and he refused outright, "I'm not going."

"Why?" Nangong Bo frowned.

"I haven't taken the martial arts exam yet," Su Jie said confidently. "I'm going to be the top scholar! Besides, Linjiang City is really nice. That barbecue rice place on the corner smells amazing; I haven't had enough yet."

Yang Baichuan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood! Roasted meat rice?! Just because of this?!

Nangong Bo's lips twitched uncontrollably. He felt that his years of self-control had completely crumbled in front of this kid.

"Does being the top scorer in the martial arts exam still mean anything to you?" Nangong Bo tried to reason with him.

"Yes!" Su Jie's eyes were clear. "The prize money is huge! I heard the top scorer gets tens of millions in Star Essence alone! They can also choose a Rank 1 martial art! And they can freely choose an academy! I'll just start a live stream, and I've already thought of a name for it: 'I'm this year's martial arts exam champion, I'm going to crush you all!' There will definitely be tons of tips, so many benefits!"

Everyone: "..."

Ultimately, after a series of "friendly" yet "intense" negotiations, the two sides reached a provisional agreement:

Su Jie will remain in Linjiang City for the time being to prepare for the martial arts exam. The Federation will dispatch a secret guard team to be stationed in Linjiang, with Chen Mingyang personally overseeing the operation to ensure his safety. At the same time, the Federation Parliament will send a team of top professionals to conduct a comprehensive test on Su Jie.

Finally, Nangong Bo nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with expectation as he looked at Su Jie. "Su Jie, the hope for the future of humanity may lie in you. Work hard and don't waste this gifted physique!"

The talks concluded in an extremely harmonious and hopeful atmosphere.

After Chen Mingyang accompanied the emotionally charged Nangong Bo out of the room, Yang Baichuan looked at Su Jie with a complex expression, which finally turned into a long sigh and a heavy pat on his shoulder: "Good lad! I knew you were extraordinary! I never expected you to be so astonishing! From now on, my little temple may not be able to accommodate such a great Buddha as you!"

Su Jie chuckled: "Uncle Yang, what are you saying? Without your guidance and protection, I wouldn't be where I am today. Linjiang City will always be my home."

As the two were talking, Chen Mingyang returned after seeing Nangong Bo off and said in a deep voice, "Su Jie, do you know why the major powers in the Federation, even those with abundant resources, mostly choose to condense their martial veins and hastily enter the Qi Condensation Realm when their core disciples are only at the sixth or seventh level of Martial Aperture?"

Su Jie was taken aback; this was precisely one of his previous questions. Logically speaking, the descendants of those powerful families had no shortage of vital energy and time to grow, so why didn't they spend decades or even centuries to solidify their foundations? He honestly replied, "This junior does not know; please enlighten me, Uncle Chen."

Chen Mingyang slowly explained, "The reason lies within the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, where there is a special secret realm called the 'Starfall Realm.' This realm opens once a year in August, and only martial artists under the age of eighteen are allowed to enter. Countless opportunities reside within, and rumors even suggest it contains the most core inheritance of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace and sacred medicines capable of transforming one's very being. It is the most coveted place of fortune for the Federation's younger generation!"

"The Starfall Realm?" Su Jie's eyes lit up. A secret realm that Chen Mingyang valued so highly must be extraordinary!

"However, the entrance to the secret realm has limited capacity, and the internal competition is extremely fierce," Chen Mingyang continued. "After much negotiation, the Federation ultimately decided that only those who rank in the top 300 of the annual martial arts examination will be qualified to enter the 'Starfall Realm'!"
