No money for martial arts university? Slay your way through the border to the top martial arts schoo

After sending Tie Ying away, Lin Feng paced back and forth in the inner hall more than a dozen times.

The Martial Saint's Origin Crystal was lying in the storage ring. It was a fist-sized golden crystal, enough to change the fate of an ordinary person.

He took out his phone and scrolled to a chat window.

Lin Xiaoyu.

The most recent message was sent three days ago: "Bro, the school got a new homeroom teacher, and he's a pretty good guy."

Scrolling up further, there was a photo of cafeteria food posted by Xiaoyu, captioned: "I added a chicken leg today!"

Further up, "Brother, be careful out there, don't keep getting into fights."

Lin Feng's thumb stopped on the screen.

With the Zhao family wiped out, no one in Ping'an County dared to touch Xiaoyu for the time being.

But how long is "temporary"?

He's getting on more and more bad side now, with the East China Sea Military Region, the Gu family in the south, and all sorts of messy forces in the provincial capital.

If these people find out about Xiaoyu, she won't even be able to escape.

King Wu could kill her, Emperor Wu could kill her, a martial arts master or even an ordinary person with a knife could kill her.

She has nothing.

Lin Feng placed his phone face down on the table, took out the Martial Saint Origin Crystal from his ring, and placed it in his palm.

A supplementary note that he hadn't noticed before popped up on the system panel.

[Supplement: When the Martial Saint Origin Crystal is used on an ordinary person whose martial arts foundation has not yet been awakened, it will forcibly open all meridians, directly creating a Martial Saint-level physique. This process requires the constant protection of a spiritual master; otherwise, the probability of meridians going berserk is extremely high.]

Forcefully open all meridians.

Directly create a physique at the level of a Martial Saint.

Lin Feng gripped the crystal tightly.

The door was pushed open, and Tie Ying walked in carrying a pot of freshly brewed tea.

"Alliance Leader, I've been thinking about the question you just asked. There's another record in the ancient texts..."

"We're not giving away any more exotic beasts."

Iron Eagle paused.

"I want to give this crystallized essence to someone."

"to whom?"

"My sister."

The teapot in Tie Ying's hand wobbled, the lid popped off with a clatter, and half of the tea spilled onto the ground.

"Alliance Leader! Ordinary people cannot withstand the impact of a Martial Saint's Origin Crystal!"

Iron Eagle's voice rose two pitches.

"It's alright, I'll personally protect you."

Lin Feng put the crystal back into his ring.

Iron Eagle's mouth was agape, and it took him a long time to close it.

He wanted to persuade him, but looking at Lin Feng's expression, all those words stuck in his throat.

"There's one more thing."

Lin Feng stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Tie Ying.

"You've seen what's been going on in the alliance these past few days: mine takeover, financial restructuring, personnel reassignment, business negotiations—I have to make all the decisions."

Iron Eagle nodded: "Yes."

"The time I spend on these trivial things every day is a real waste of my time."

"Does the alliance leader mean... to find someone to manage it for you?"

"My sister."

"She's been interacting with her neighbors since she was little, and she's more meticulous than most of you in the alliance."

Lin Feng turned around.

"The four elders are in charge of fighting, while she's in charge of making money and managing people. The division of labor is clear."

"But even if she's capable, out of the more than three hundred people in the alliance, who will respect her?"

"After consuming the Martial Saint's Origin Crystal, she became a Martial Saint."

Iron Eagle's mouth shut.

With the Martial Saint in charge, who wouldn't submit?

If you're not convinced, can you defeat the Martial Saint?

Lin Feng stepped past the broken teapot and picked up the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold Spear.

"I'll go pick her up tonight and bring her back tomorrow. You should tell Gongsun Yuan to prepare to receive her."

"Yes."

......

Ping'an County No. 7 Middle School.

The Thunder Abyss Vulture was hidden in a dense forest two kilometers outside the school gate, and Lin Feng climbed in alone.

I scanned the entire dormitory building with my mental power, and it was quiet.

The room in the far corner on the third floor had its door ajar.

Lin Feng pushed open the door and went in.

The desk lamp was still on, and a math test paper was spread out on the table. Most of it had been done, with the last few big questions left blank. The pen was resting next to the test paper.

Xiaoyu curled up on her side under the covers, her school uniform jacket draped over the headboard, her hair disheveled over half her face.

Lin Feng squatted down by the bed and gently patted her shoulder twice.

"Light rain."

No response, sleeping soundly.

I patted it twice more.

Xiaoyu groggily turned over and mumbled, "Don't rush me, just five more minutes..."

"it's me."

Xiaoyu's eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened them.

She looked up at her brother's face.

I paused for two seconds.

"elder brother?"

She sat up abruptly and grabbed Lin Feng's arm.

"Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Shh, don't wake the neighbors.

Xiaoyu quickly lowered her voice, but didn't let go of her hand.

She looked Lin Feng up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not missing any limbs.

"Brother, did you get into another fight? Why is there a hole in the front of your shirt?"

Lin Feng looked down at the hole in his chest that He Yunzhou had blown out, and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"I accidentally scratched it."

"You're kidding me, the edges of this cave are all charred."

Lin Feng didn't argue with her about it and took out the Martial Saint Origin Crystal from his storage ring.

Golden light instantly filled the entire dormitory room.

Xiaoyu's words caught in her throat.

"Brother... what is this?"

"The Essence Crystal of the Martial Saint".

Xiaoyu didn't understand.

"After you consume this, you will become a martial saint. No one in the entire Ping'an County, or even the entire provincial capital, will be able to lay a finger on you."

Xiaoyu stared at the crystal, her mouth agape for a long time.

"But there's a side effect." Lin Feng handed the crystal towards her. "After consuming it, your future cultivation will only be able to improve through higher-level Origin Crystals; there's no other way."

"That......"

"That's for later. I'll find one for you."

Xiaoyu bit her lip and didn't reach out to take it.

"Brother, aren't you going to keep such a valuable thing for yourself?"

"I have other ways, you don't."

Lin Feng placed the crystal into her hand.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat."

Xiaoyu held the golden crystal, her hands trembling.

It wasn't fear; her mind was still processing all this information.

Martial Saint? She only had a vague concept of what martial arts were.

What has my brother been through out there to be able to pull out something like this so easily?

Xiaoyu held the crystal to her lips.

Swallowed it.

The moment the golden energy exploded within her body, Xiaoyu's body suddenly stiffened.

She opened her mouth as if to shout, but no sound came out of her throat.

A layer of golden light spread from her body, enveloping her entirely.

Energy surged and crashed through her body.

Lin Feng's mental power was activated instantly.

The mental energy transformed into dozens of fine threads, seeping into Xiaoyu's meridians and intercepting, guiding, and diverting the rampaging energy one by one.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

It's not because of high consumption, but because of the extremely high precision requirements.

Xiaoyu's meridians have never been opened, making her as fragile as a blank sheet of paper, easily torn apart by energy if not handled carefully.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened.

The fourth hour.

Click.

The first crack appeared on the cocoon.

The cracks spread rapidly, and golden fragments peeled off.

Lin Feng withdrew his mental energy and took a step back.

The light cocoon shattered.

Xiaoyu stood in the middle of the dormitory.

It's as if my whole being has been reshaped, inside and out.

Her skin had a faint golden glow, and her originally yellowish complexion became fair and rosy.

Her breath was slowly emanating from her.

The Martial Saint.

Xiaoyu looked down at her hands, turning them over and over in her hands several times.

"Brother, I..."

"How are you feeling?"

Xiaoyu clenched her fists.

She could clearly feel the surging power within her body, the qi and blood flowing through her meridians as vast as a great river.

"I feel like I could tear this building down."

"Don't."

Lin Feng pulled up a chair and sat down.

"There's one more thing I want to tell you."

Xiaoyu snapped out of her shock and stood up obediently.

"From today onwards, you are the vice leader of the Beast Taming Alliance."

Xiaoyu's expression froze.

"We'll leave all the alliance's daily operations, finances, and external business negotiations to you."

"Brother... I'm only sixteen, I don't know much."

"You don't need to know martial arts. You just need to know how to manage money, people, and things."

Lin Feng held up two fingers.

"The four elders are in charge of fighting, and you're in charge of making money. If anyone disobeys you, just slap them away."

He paused for a moment.

"You can still fan yourself now."

Xiaoyu clenched her fist.

She has been supporting this family since she was a child.

She was used to keeping accounts, buying groceries, haggling with the landlord, and splitting every penny in half. She was used to worrying, calculating, and cleaning up a mess.

But she never imagined that one day her brother would use these skills in this kind of situation.

"it is good."

"Then I'll go and withdraw from school first."

......

Academic Affairs Office of Ping'an County Middle School

The new homeroom teacher looked at the words "Lin Feng" written in the "Guardian's Signature" column on the withdrawal application form, and then looked up at the brother and sister standing in front of him.

She felt that the girl named Lin Xiaoyu was different today than before.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but the aura emanating from him makes people hesitant to speak loudly.

The principal himself came out of his office and blocked the doorway.

"Lin, Xiaoyu's grades are in the top ten of the grade. It would be a shame for her to drop out. Would you like to reconsider?"

Lin Feng took out his second lieutenant's rank card from his pocket and waved it in front of the principal.

"Going to school is a waste of time; she has more important things to do."

The principal opened his mouth slightly, but swallowed back all his words of persuasion to keep him.

Although he didn't recognize all of those things, he could still understand the words "Northern Frontier" on the military organization card.

The withdrawal procedure was completed in fifteen minutes.

Xiaoyu went back to the classroom one last time to pack her things.

A class was in session, and when she pushed the door open, all eyes turned to her.

Xiaoyu walked to her seat in the last row and gathered her things.

In the back row by the window, a guy with a buzz cut leaned over, laughing and joking.

"Hey, Lin Xiaoyu, your brother's here again?"

Xiaoyu ignored him and continued packing.

The boy with the buzz cut leaned forward, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the people in the surrounding rows to hear.

"Without parents, I can only rely on my brother."

Xiaoyu raised her hand and swung it with all her might.

A trace of the Martial Saint's Qi and Blood leaked out of her body.

The boy with the buzz cut slid backwards in his chair.

The boy sat down hard on the ground, his head twisted 360 degrees, and he died.

Not a single person in the class uttered a sound.

Before long, the police arrived, and Lin Feng, with the skill of a lieutenant, managed to cover up the boy's death.

If you should lose money, lose money; if you should receive compensation, compensate you.

Beast Taming Alliance Headquarters Plaza.

When the eagle landed at the edge of the square, the four elders were already standing in a row waiting.

Gongsun Yuan stood at the front, Helian Shuang on the left, Duan Wuji on the right, and Tie Ying at the very back.

Lin Feng jumped down first, then reached out and took Xiao Yu from the vulture's back.

The moment the light rain hit the ground, Gongsun Yuan frowned.

The aura of a first-level Martial Saint emanated from this sixteen-year-old girl. Although it was not yet stable and fluctuated between strong and weak, her rank was definitely not wrong.

Gongsun Yuan had lived for over seventy years, and he could distinguish the aura of a Martial Saint even with his eyes closed.

"Alliance Leader, who is this...?"

"My younger sister, Lin Xiaoyu."

Lin Feng put his hands behind his back.

"The vice leader of the alliance. From now on, she will be in charge of the alliance's daily affairs, just like I am."

The four elders looked at each other, none of them daring to refute.

"Alliance Leader, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is the Martial Saint realm of the Vice Alliance Leader...?"

"The Essence Crystal of the Martial Saint".

Helian Shuang's expression was complicated.

Heartache, shock, and a touch of indescribable bitterness—she had cultivated for fifty-two years to reach the third level of Martial Saint. This other person, on the other hand, reached it with just a pill.

Iron Eagle reacted the fastest.

He stepped out from the back of the line and bowed in a standard Union salute.

"Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader."
