High Martial Arts: Become a God by Spending Money, Start by Spending All Your Compensation Funds

Ten days later.

In the city ruins, the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and decay. Broken steel bars were stuck diagonally in the cracked cement ground, and the wind howled like a ghost through the broken windows.

Lin Yun stepped lightly on the broken bricks and stones, his eyes scanning the dark corners around him warily.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from a collapsed residential building on the left, and a gray-black shadow darted out like an arrow.

It was a giant rat, a full meter tall, covered in stiff, needle-like hairs. Its two scarlet eyes were fixed on Lin Yun, and two rows of yellowish fangs protruded from its mouth. Saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth onto the ground, corroding small white spots.

What's most terrifying are its front claws, which are half a foot long and gleam with a cold light, like two poisoned steel knives.

Clawed Rat!

Lin Yun's eyes narrowed.

This beast is small in size compared to other beasts, but it is fast, aggressive, and numerous, making it one of the beasts that causes the most casualties among humans.

"squeak!"

The Claw Rat let out a sharp hiss, its four limbs slamming into the ground, and its massive body burst forth with astonishing speed as it pounced towards Lin Yun.

Wherever it goes, broken bricks and stones are crushed to dust, thick walls are smashed down by its head, and crisscrossing steel bars are easily cut like tofu under its sharp claws.

In the blink of an eye, the Claw Rat pounced on Lin Yun, its sharp claws, carrying a foul stench, aimed straight at his face.

Lin Yun remained completely calm. With a light tap of his foot, he slid half a meter to the left, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

Pale red blood flowed through his legs, making his figure as swift as a willow catkin in the wind, dodging and weaving amidst the raging claw attacks of the sharp-clawed rat. Every dodge was perfectly timed, and not even the hem of his clothes was touched.

Just as the Claw Rat's old strength was exhausted and its new strength had not yet been generated, Lin Yun seized the opening where it was turning to the side.

He suddenly lowered his waist and hardened his stance, his blood and qi surging and converging into his right fist.

The Vajra Fist stance unfolded instantly, and a punch was thrown out, accompanied by a dull whistling sound, slamming hard into the Claw Rat's most vulnerable spot below its eye socket.

His Qi and Blood value has now steadily increased to 77 points, allowing him to firmly enter the seventh level of the Martial Apprentice Realm.

An ordinary punch has a force of 7,700 kilograms, and when combined with the Vajra Fist at the minor completion level, the punching force is close to 10,000 kilograms!

"Thump!"

A muffled thud, like the beating of a drum.

The raptor's massive body was suddenly thrown backward, crashing heavily into a crumbling wall and creating a huge dent in the concrete.

It twitched a few times, kicked its limbs, and then stopped moving. One side of its head caved in, and red and white substances splattered all over the ground.

The moment the battle ended, the surrounding ruins began to blur, turning into countless blue particles that eventually dissipated, revealing the pristine white interior of the combat pod.

Lin Yun let out a long breath, stretched his slightly sore wrists, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Stepping through the door with the wind, having mastered the Vajra Fist to a minor degree, he can even one-shot the most common Tier 1 beast, the Claw Rat. It's time to head to District 33.

He pushed open the hatch and went out, just in time to see Su Nianhe practicing boxing in front of a force measuring instrument not far away.

The white training uniform was soaked with sweat, clinging to the back and outlining slender yet powerful lines.

With each punch, an astonishing number would appear on the force gauge.

"Nianhe".

Lin Yun called out.

Su Nianhe immediately withdrew her fist, turned around, and showed a bright smile on her face. She picked up a towel and wiped her sweat.

"How was training today?"

"Successfully." Lin Yun walked up to her, his eyes unwavering. "You've fully mastered the Wind-Stepping Technique, and your Vajra Fist has reached a minor level of proficiency. You'll have no problem dealing with ordinary Tier 1 beasts. Now, you can rest assured and let me go to District 33, right?"

Su Nianhe's smile faded slightly. She looked Lin Yun up and down, then suddenly shook her head: "No, you're still missing one crucial thing."

"What is it?"

Lin Yun was taken aback.

"Warrior," Su Nianhe said seriously, "You're at a huge disadvantage fighting bare-handed. It's okay against ordinary beasts, but if you encounter something like the Ironclad Turtle with its thick hide, your fists won't be able to break through its defenses at all."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun sighed helplessly: "My scholarship money and the money I saved up before were all used to pay off the debts I incurred for my brother's medical treatment. I don't have much money left, so I can't afford to buy a combat soldier for the time being."

The system was his biggest secret, and even though Su Nianhe was someone he could trust, he had to keep it from her.

It's good for him and good for Su Nianhe.

Su Nianhe immediately spoke up: "I have several spare weapons there, all of them..."

"No." Lin Yun interrupted her without hesitation. "Nianhe, you've already provided me with such a good training environment and given me a movement technique worth millions. I already owe you too much. I'll figure out the matter of the warrior myself."

His eyes were very serious.

Su Nianhe pouted, somewhat unwilling, but she knew Lin Yun's uncompromising nature.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately came up with an idea: "How about this? I'll lend you my scholarship money. Five hundred thousand is barely enough to equip you with a decent set of combat weapons! After you hunt monsters in District 33 and earn some money, you can pay me back an extra twenty thousand, okay? You don't necessarily want to work hard to earn money to buy combat weapons, do you? That would waste so much time."

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment.

He knew that having a suitable weapon would not only greatly improve the efficiency of hunting monsters, but also significantly increase the chances of survival.

Moreover, having extra money on hand means he can immediately exchange it for emergency blood and qi in case of danger.

Just as he was about to nod in agreement, a cold system notification suddenly rang in his mind:

[Ding! System notification: The valid currency used to exchange for Health Points and items in the shop must be earned by the host through their own strength. Currency obtained through gifts, loans, prizes, etc., cannot be used for system exchanges.]

Lin Yun was suddenly stunned.

He had never considered borrowing money to improve his strength before, so the system had never reminded him of this rule.

It seems that even if he wants to be a gigolo in the future, the system won't give him that opportunity.

But that's good, because it only strengthened his resolve to rely on himself.

"Okay, I promise you." Lin Yun looked up and smiled at Su Nianhe. "I will definitely pay you back the 500,000 before the start of the semester."

Lin Yun was already very confident, and if he added Zhanbing, he was confident that he could earn at least one million in District 33.

"That's more like it!" Su Nianhe immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Let's go, let's go to the martial arts market now, I'll help you bargain!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Yun's arm and ran outside, her ponytail swinging behind her, full of youthful energy.
