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

The examiner outside the fence paused for a moment, then quickly scribbled a few lines in his notebook.

"Theoretical score: 90 points; Practical performance: Martial Apprentice Level 7, kills a first-tier peak silver-armored wolf without taking damage in a short time. Overall rating: A."

Hunter license levels are divided into F-level to S-level, with A-level meaning that the hunter can easily hunt beasts of a higher level within the current realm.

An 18-year-old freshman gets an A grade on his first assessment, which is rare even in Beijing.

He even thought that if Lin Yun chose an even more powerful beast, he might have a chance to break through to S-rank.

As Lin Yun walked over, the examiner handed him the brand-new hunter's license and patted him on the shoulder.

"He's a promising talent. With more experience, he'll achieve great things in the future. Have a great hunt!"

"Thank you." Lin Yun took the license, casually put it in his pocket, and turned to walk towards the lobby.

The dark bronze license cover felt cool to the touch, with the Hunter Association's emblem printed on the front. Inside, there was a photo and personal information, and the certification level section clearly displayed an "A".

In the lobby, Song Yu sat with her eyes closed, resting, while Chen Hao played on his phone next to her, occasionally stealing glances at her.

When Song Yu saw Lin Yun come out, she was stunned for a moment.

It only took less than fifteen minutes, that's incredibly fast!

The written test plus the practical test will take at least half an hour.

She immediately stood up and went to greet her.

"Finished the exam?"

Lin Yun hummed in agreement.

Chen Hao also looked up, his face showing obvious disbelief, and sneered.

"They're out so quickly? Did they get kicked out before finishing the written exam? I knew it! Freshmen taking this exam are just... well, you know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yun raised his hand, held the newly acquired hunter's license between his fingers, and gently waved it in his direction.

The dark bronze cover gleamed under the light, and the letter "A" in the certification level section was clearly visible.

Song Yu was taken aback at first, then quickly leaned over and carefully looked through the inside pages of the license.

The stamp, serial number, and issuance date are all genuine.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she cried out in shock.

"An A grade? You actually got an A grade?!"

Chen Hao's smile froze instantly. He rushed over, snatched the license, and examined it three times over, even picking at the anti-counterfeiting label.

No matter how you look at it, this is a legitimate A-level hunter license, without any fakery.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Getting an A grade on your first assessment?

Are you kidding me?!

He took the exam three times before getting an E-level, and only after breaking through to the Martial Master realm did he advance to D-level. This kid is actually that awesome.

Even if the hunter rating only applies to the current major realm, this is enough to illustrate the point. In the Martial Apprentice major realm, Lin Yun is almost invincible as long as he doesn't encounter those S-level super geniuses or those exotic beasts with special bloodlines!

Song Yu snatched the license back, stuffed it into Lin Yun's hand, and turned to Chen Hao with a bright smile.

"See? He got an A. He's honorable to accept the loss. Don't bother me anymore!"

Chen Hao's face turned bright red, his mouth opened and closed repeatedly, wanting to refute but unable to find a reason.

He was the one who suggested leaving; a loss is a loss, and lingering on it would only be a bad move.

He glared at Lin Yun fiercely, as if venting his anger on him, grabbed his coat, turned and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Let's go!"

Watching his retreating figure, Song Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling as if she had gotten rid of a big trouble and felt completely relaxed.

She turned around, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at Lin Yun, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Little brother, you're really amazing! You've impressed your older sister. I keep my word, so I'll reward you."

She took out her phone, opened the QR code, and handed it to Lin Yun: "Add me on WeChat, and I'll transfer the money to you."

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment. The other party was very generous, and if he were to be coy, he would seem petty.

Out of politeness, he still took out his phone and scanned the QR code.

I had just accepted your friend request when a transfer notification popped up, for 20,000 yuan.

Song Yu held up her phone and kept staring at Lin Yun until he clicked "receive payment" before she stopped.

"Alright." She patted Lin Yun's shoulder with satisfaction. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for helping me get rid of that annoying guy. How about this, after I finish my exams, I'll treat you to dinner."

As she spoke, she winked at Lin Yun, her tone carrying a hint of allure.

In her opinion, Lin Yun is a stock with great potential, and she should win him over while he is still young!

Lin Yun was both amused and exasperated.

He came here to take the hunter's license test, but unexpectedly he earned an extra 20,000 yuan, along with an invitation to a dinner party.

However, he wasn't interested in eating. Rather than socializing, he wanted to seize the time to hunt and earn money in the wilderness.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I have something to do, so I'll have to skip the meal. Hope we can meet again someday."

Lin Yun's tone was polite, but it carried a clear sense of rejection.

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the association's gate, his steps hurried, and he soon disappeared through the doorway.

Song Yu stood there, staring at his back for a few seconds, then put her hands on her hips and gave a wry smile.

"Sigh, I was actually rejected by the little brother."

She touched her face, looked down at Lin Yun's WeChat profile picture on her phone. It was completely black, and even his nickname was very simple, just the character "Lin".

"She's quite unique."

Song Yu muttered something to herself, put away her phone, and turned to walk towards the assessment area.

She originally came here to take the upgrade test, and now that Chen Hao is no longer bothering her, she can concentrate on the test.

Lin Yun walked out of the Hunter Association gate, where several hover taxis were waiting on the street.

He flagged down a car, opened the door, got in, and headed towards the nearest entrance to the wilderness area.

The driver replied, "Okay, please hold on tight."

The car smoothly drove off the street.

The tall buildings outside the window gradually thinned out, replaced by increasingly tall alloy walls, exuding a somber atmosphere.

The closer you get to the wilderness area, the fewer pedestrians there are on the road. Occasionally you can see a few warriors carrying weapons and exuding a fierce aura, walking hurriedly towards the entrance.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the plaza outside the entrance to the wilderness area.

Lin Yun paid the fare, got out of the car, and glanced around.

A row of low buildings lined the edge of the square, all supply shops selling essential items for entering the wilderness. Boxes of compressed rations and medicines were piled up at the entrances, and the air was filled with the smell of rust and herbs.

He walked into the nearest supply station, where the supplies on the shelves were clearly categorized.

Lin Yun took two packs of high-compressed energy biscuits, two leather bags filled with purified water, and a box of water purification tablets.

As for healing potions and the like, Lin Yun had already exchanged some for them in the system shop.

Lin Yun scanned the code to pay, picked up the supply bag and walked out of the shop, unaware that three pairs of eyes were already fixed on him in the shadows not far away.

Three men were squatting in the corner, each with a deep and imposing aura and calloused hands, clearly seasoned veterans who had spent years traversing the wilderness.

The leader, a gaunt middle-aged man, wore a drab old tactical jacket. He had a scar on his left cheek from the corrosive acid of a strange beast, and his skin was wrinkled and twisted together. Coupled with his darting triangular eyes, he exuded a sinister aura.

His nickname was Rotten Rat. He specifically targeted lone young martial artists in this area, and had many lives on his hands.

The rotten rat squinted, staring at Lin Yun's departing figure. Its gaze swept back and forth between the Swiftwind Boots on Lin Yun's feet and the Bloodfang Blade on his back, without it noticing the cigarette burning down to the base of its fingers.

Liu Si, the biggest guy next to him, followed his gaze and lowered his voice: "Boss, this kid's gear isn't cheap. Those boots are military standard, worth at least a million. And that knife on his back looks like a brand name one. Those two items alone are worth at least two million."

The rotten rat scoffed, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it out with the sole of its shoe.

"Damn it, after waiting for two days, we're finally open for business."

He Ping, who was of medium build, hesitated and rubbed his hands together: "What if this kid has connections?"

The rotten rat glanced at him sideways, his tone full of disdain: "If he were a real young master from a noble family, he'd be decked out in top-of-the-line gear from head to toe. Look at this kid, his boots and knife are valuable, but he doesn't even have any decent armor, and he's wearing ordinary clothes. It's obvious he's a hothead who's saved up for years, gritted his teeth and bought a couple of good pieces of equipment, and wants to try his luck in the wilderness. Nobody will even bother to check if this kind of guy dies in there."

He stood up, dusted off his trousers, and winked at the two men: "Let's go."
