Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"You mean, he completed the marrow cleansing the first time he practiced the Tempering Yuan Technique?!" Zidane looked up in astonishment.

Huang Bo beamed with joy: "Yes! I'm sure!"

Principal, our No. 1 High School has produced a martial arts genius this time!

According to convention, is it...?

Besides reporting the good news, he also had another purpose in wanting benefits from Chu Yuan.

Zidane smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to remember something and clicked his tongue.

Huang Bo's heart skipped a beat: "Principal, could it be... something unexpected has happened?"

Zidane looked annoyed: "There really is... I was just about to tell you that the Li family in Yunan Prefecture is about to send a transfer student."

"The Li family!? Transferred to our school!?" Huang Bo couldn't understand. Of the thirty-six prefectures of the Great Qin Dynasty, Chenyang City was just an insignificant little place under the jurisdiction of Yunan Prefecture.

The Li family is a behemoth in Yu Nan Prefecture, with formidable martial arts prowess within the family!

Furthermore, the head of the Li family is already a seventh-level martial artist... how could he possibly look down on a small school like Chenyang No. 1 Middle School?

Zidane sighed and explained, "There's a talent development plan that's going to gather all the nation's geniuses together and train them all."

Apart from the major cities and state capitals, each of the other cities has three seed slots...

Huang Bo instantly understood and was somewhat indignant: "Did you come here to snatch this spot? That's not fair!"

He couldn't outmaneuver others in the state capital, so he came to our small place to steal?

"Principal, how could you agree to something like this?!"

"How...how could I have known that a genius who could directly undergo marrow cleansing would emerge from this year's students!?" Zidane said with a wry smile, "If we lose No. 1 Middle School, then there's No. 2 Middle School? No. 3 Middle School? It doesn't matter where that kid from the Li family goes."

At first, I thought that if I agreed, at least the school would benefit in some way; the Li family was really generous...

Besides, it can also enhance the reputation of No. 1 High School, since his grades are counted in No. 1 High School's records, making it easier to apply for funding next year..."

I should have known better than to agree. No matter how strong that Li family kid is, he's not one of us.

But since they had already agreed, it wasn't good to go back on their word, otherwise they would be slapping the Li family in the face...

It's not that No. 1 High School can't accommodate two genius students, but the school can only apply for one maximum number of support slots.

Who should receive this resource?

If we give Chu Yuan the answer, will that kid from the Li family let it go? The resources within the support quota might not be much for him, but it's a matter of face.

Giving it to that kid from the Li family wouldn't be fair to Chu Yuan...

"No matter what, cultivation cannot be delayed;"

"I'll allocate a portion of the resources provided by the Li family; you can give it to Chu Yuan to use first."

Huang Bo was aware of Zidane's predicament, and although he was still somewhat resentful, he could only reluctantly agree...

......

"Chu Yuan, come with me for a bit."

Huang Bo suddenly spoke up, interrupting the casual conversation between Yang Yi and Chu Yuan;

Actually, the two of them had a good relationship, or rather, Yang Yi had a good relationship with every classmate in the class.

He even helped Chu Yuan with some things...

Upon arriving at Huang Bo's office, Huang Bo gestured for Chu Yuan to sit down.

Without keeping him in suspense, he took out several jade bottles and placed them on the table. After organizing his thoughts, he said, "The principal already knows about your talent, and he asked me to give these things to you."

"This is a Qi and Blood Pill, which can accelerate the accumulation of Qi and blood, but it must be completely digested before taking the next one..."

"This bottle contains Bone Strengthening Pills; they are even more effective when used in conjunction with Blood and Qi Pills..."

"Mind-Concentrating Pill..."

Although Chu Yuan knew that he would definitely receive training after his talent was revealed;

But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly...

Upon picking up the jade bottle containing the Qi and Blood Pill, a system notification appeared.

Qi and Blood Dan was detected;

Convertible to Qi-gathering powder!

Today's conversions: 0!

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but beam with joy;

It turns out it can transform not only cultivation techniques, but even resources!

Unfortunately, the system seems to only allow one conversion per day, and today's opportunity has already been used on cultivation techniques...

Seeing his expression, Huang Bo felt somewhat comforted: "This is a week's worth. We will continue to provide resources every week thereafter, based on your progress."

Chu Yuan nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

"There's nothing to thank me for. Go and cultivate."

Chu Yuan always felt that Huang Bo was acting strangely, as if he was hiding something from him;

Without asking any further questions, he stuffed the jade bottles into his school uniform pocket and left.

I had barely reached the vicinity of the classroom when I saw a group of students gathered outside...

Although he was a little confused, he didn't think much of it and pushed his way through the crowd.

"Chu Yuan! You're back!"

At the call of a classmate, all the students crowded outside the Class 2 classroom turned to look.

"Um?"

"They heard that our Class Two produced a genius who had just started cultivating and had already achieved marrow cleansing, so they all came to see you!" Yang Yi said helplessly as he approached.

The news spread way too fast...

But there's nothing we can do about it. Everyone has a martial arts terminal, so if something big happens at school, it spreads too easily.

The students in Class Two probably didn't have any bad intentions; they just couldn't help showing off to their friends. After all, having a martial arts genius in their class always gave them a sense of pride.

"So you're Chu Yuan? You've really completed the marrow cleansing?"

Someone asked.

"No, they're just bragging," Chu Yuan said calmly.

"Phew, I knew it..." The burly boy who spoke let out a breath, his expression a mixture of disappointment and certainty.

"..." Chu Yuan couldn't help but mourn for his low IQ;

However, not many people believed Chu Yuan's lies, since such things were too easy to verify. Why would the students of Class Two unanimously sing someone else's praises?

"It doesn't look like anything special, does it?"

"What special thing do you want? Auspicious omens from the sky, golden lotuses blooming from the ground?"

"...I just feel that geniuses should always be a little different from us?"

Chu Yuan ignored their discussion and went straight back to his seat.

The burly boy finally realized what was happening and, somewhat embarrassed and angry, exclaimed, "You dare to play me?!"

But before he could make his next move, Yang Yi gave him a cold look and said, "Get lost!"

The burly boy silently shrank back;

Whether a martial arts genius can defeat him is uncertain, but this person definitely can...

"You've seen it all, everyone can go now." After saying that, Yang Yi turned to Chu Yuan and asked mysteriously, "What did the teacher say to you? Did he apply for a support spot for you?"

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Huang Bo only gave him resources, but didn't really mention anything about quotas.

He knew about these support slots; they were similar to scholarships in his previous life, but he'd been too preoccupied with the system just now...

"I think... right?" Chu Yuan touched the jade bottle in his pocket. Hadn't he already obtained all the resources?
