You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

"You did a good job in the cave today, and if it weren't for your help, Momo might have gotten hurt. You deserve it."

Seeing the surprised look on Su Ming's face, Xin Menghan smiled and said.

"Thank you, Coach Xin!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ming understood. He thanked Xin Menghan, then bid her farewell and headed towards Linjiang Central Hospital.

"Captain, Su Ming is a promising talent. You two seem to get along well. Why don't you officially recruit him into the team?"

After Su Ming left, Fang Mo stepped out from a corner and made a suggestion to Xin Menghan.

Upon hearing this, Guan Shan and Xia Mu both nodded, looking at Xin Menghan with expectant expressions.

They had all noticed the power of the shot Su Ming fired to save Fang Mo in the underground cave.

Fang Mo, who was closest to him, was certain that the power of Su Ming's shot had reached the level of a first-level martial artist.

Su Ming, despite his young age, already possesses the strength of a first-tier martial artist. If he joins their team, their team will soon have another second-tier martial artist, greatly increasing their strength.

Having an additional second-tier martial artist would be of great benefit to everyone in the team.

"Don't even think about it. Su Ming is just a senior high school student at Linjiang No. 1 High School. How could a genius like him, who can get into Hanxia Martial Arts Academy, be kept by a small team of martial artists like us?"

Xin Menghan glanced at the group of people, shook her head helplessly, and smiled.

Before this, she hadn't had a chance to explain Su Ming's student status to the others.

"What? Su Ming is still a student?"

Upon hearing Xin Menghan's words, Fang Mo and the others were visibly taken aback, and then all showed a hint of regret.

Since Su Ming is a senior high school student at Linjiang No. 1 High School, he will be taking the national unified martial arts exam in Hanxia in a month.

Each year, no more than ten of the martial arts exam candidates in Linjiang City possess the skills of a martial artist.

Such students are all recruited by Hanxia's various key martial arts academies.

They knew that a genius student like Su Ming would surely shine in the martial arts exam, be recruited by a martial arts academy, have a bright future, and become at least a third-level martial artist after graduation.

Just as Xin Menghan said, such a genius is definitely not someone that their small team can keep.

Linjiang No.1 Middle School.

Chen Jingwen, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 12, stormed into the office of Wang Zhenguo, the principal of No. 1 High School, with a hint of indignation on her face, and placed a report in front of Wang Zhenguo's desk.

"Principal, I want to report that Director Wei broke the rules, withheld Su Ming's special hardship allowance, and then expelled Su Ming afterwards!"

Chen Jingwen was furious. Su Ming was her student, and he was at the top of his class in both humanities and martial arts. He was also humble, and she liked him very much.

She was surprised to find Su Ming missing when she arrived at school this morning. After class, she immediately began to investigate and quickly discovered that Su Ming had been expelled. She also learned from Su Ming's deskmate that Su Ming had gone to the grade director's office that morning because of the special hardship student subsidy.

Chen Jingwen first went to Wei Jiaxing to demand an explanation, but to her surprise, Wei Jiaxing offered no explanation and directly admitted to what he had done, and his attitude was arrogant. Only then did she angrily go to Wang Zhenguo, the principal of Linjiang No.1 Middle School, to seek justice for her student.

"Teacher Chen, there's no need to be so angry. It's just expelling a student, it's not a big deal."

However, Wang Zhenguo's next words stunned Chen Jingwen. She looked at Wang Zhenguo in disbelief: "Principal, Su Ming is a top student, not an ordinary student. Even without awakening any special abilities, his blood energy is still among the top five in the grade. He has the potential to be admitted to a martial arts academy!"

Wang Zhenguo, seeing Chen Jingwen's somewhat agitated state, remained unmoved and shook his head calmly, saying, "Su Ming is no longer a student at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. Let's drop this matter and not mention it again!"

Hearing Wang Zhenguo's words, Chen Jingwen questioned him with extreme disappointment, "Principal, just because Director Wei is your brother-in-law, are you going to protect him like this?"

"Teacher Chen, you've lost your composure!"

Chen Jingwen's words finally made Wang Zhenguo lose his composure, and he sternly rebuked her.

"Su Ming has not awakened any special abilities. With his current Qi and Blood of less than 4 points, he will not be able to possess the strength of a martial artist in the martial arts examination. In the end, he is just a mediocre talent."

"Besides, Su Ming openly threatened the grade head, so Director Wei's decision to expel him to uphold the school's reputation is perfectly justified!"

"If there's nothing else, Ms. Chen, you should go back to class!"

After saying that, Wang Zhenguo ordered the guests to leave.

"Principal, you'll regret this."

Seeing Wang Zhenguo's expression, Chen Jingwen was completely disappointed in him. She left a sentence and then turned and left the principal's office without saying anything more.

Only she knew that since Su Ming started high school, all the government subsidies he received had been used to support his mother. He hadn't bought any supplements to help him cultivate, and he also had to spend a lot of time working part-time.

Even so, Su Ming's Qi and Blood were still able to maintain a ranking in the top five of the grade, which was stronger than most students who could take Qi and Blood Powder every month to cultivate.

With such martial arts talent, even if Su Ming doesn't awaken any special abilities, his future achievements will definitely be remarkable.

"No, Su Ming has been expelled from Linjiang No. 1 High School, so he's no longer qualified to take the martial arts exam. If he can't take the exam and enter a martial arts academy for further study, then all his talent will be wasted. We have to think of a way!"

After leaving the principal's office, Chen Jingwen calmed herself down and her mind started working quickly.

Soon, she thought of an acquaintance she knew from Linjiang No. 7 Middle School.

"Since No. 1 Middle School can't keep Su Ming, why not let him go to No. 7 Middle School? I'll find someone to go to Su Ming's house tonight to explain the situation to him."

Having made up her mind, Chen Jingwen felt relieved and went back to class.

……

the other side.

Su Ming went to the city's central hospital, paid the bills for the month, and stayed by Lin Wan's bedside for a while while she remained unconscious. Only then did he leave the city's central hospital and return to the Martial Arts Association.

He needs to be assessed as a martial artist by the Martial Artist Association. Only by becoming a formal martial artist and obtaining a martial artist certificate can he pass the inspection of the garrison at the entrance of the underground cave and gain the qualification to enter the underground cave alone.

In addition, formal martial artists receive a monthly subsidy of Qi and Blood Powder from the Martial Artists Association.

Qi and Blood Powder is extracted from the essence of ferocious beasts and can promote the growth of a martial artist's qi and blood. It is quite expensive, with one dose costing as much as 5000 credits on the market.

5000 credits are enough for an average family of three to cover living expenses for two months.

"Let's go to the warm-up room and test our current combat strength first."

After arriving at the Martial Arts Association, Su Ming found a separate warm-up room and entered it.

The Martial Arts Association can provide martial artists with warm-up rooms, which are fully equipped with instruments for testing qi, spirit, and combat power. This allows martial artists who are about to undergo a martial artist level assessment to adjust their state and perform at their best during the assessment.
