When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Chapter 103 Wang Ye: You've broken through to the 3rd Rank?!

Seeing Jiang Feng's frowning expression, Wang Ye smiled and patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder.

"Don't worry."

"Even without the cooperation of these conglomerates and powerful families, the military can quickly quell the crisis."

"Moreover, the strength of the vast number of martial artists is immense; in recent years, our Martial Arts Association has cultivated many elite martial artists!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded.

However, a sense of unease settled in my heart.

With the invasion of alien beasts at the front lines, the army will likely find it difficult to extricate itself from the front lines.

The cult crisis in Linchuan City still needs to be resolved by itself.

"Jiang Feng, it's just a coincidence that you're here today too."

"I'll introduce you to those little guys later!"

"They are just like you, they are all the pride of my Linchuan City!"

"Although they are only eighteen years old, two of them have already successfully broken through to become third-grade martial artists!"

"If you can build good relationships with them, it will benefit your future development."

Wang Ye said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that Linchuan City had a tradition of sending a group of students to a special training camp in the provincial capital every year.

Of course, this is government-led.

Even wealthy and powerful families have to fight tooth and nail to get a spot.

This can be considered a means by which the authorities control these local forces.

If you don't listen, you won't get this spot again.

These students receive very generous resources in the provincial capital.

The better you perform, the more resources you get!

"It seems these prodigies are indeed quite something; some have even broken through to the third rank."

Jiang Feng nodded.

Wang Ye then remembered something important, slapped his forehead, and continued, "Oh right! I almost forgot about that!"

"The Martial Arts Association has already designated the peak second-tier demonic ape you killed yesterday as an emergency bounty target!"

"Settlement will be based on the task completed!"

"You can receive a reward of 300,000 and 300 Martial Arts Association points!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's eyes widened, revealing a look of shock.

Director Lei just delivered a cash reward of 300,000 yuan yesterday.

Now, the Martial Arts Association has actually given him another 300,000 yuan in bonuses?!

These two sums of money together...

Six hundred thousand!

Even in his previous life, he had never acquired so much money!

Am I about to become a millionaire?!

Jiang Feng's heart pounded, and his face flushed with excitement.

Seeing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh, saying irritably, "What's 300,000? You're already a second-grade martial artist."

"The path of martial arts becomes increasingly difficult as you progress, requiring more and more cultivation resources."

Jiang Feng nodded, then took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

Then, with some curiosity, he asked, "By the way, Secretary-General, what special use do these Martial Arts Association points have?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye nodded, as if he had anticipated that he would ask this question.

"No matter how much money you have, it's just a number."

"Many cultivation resources are sometimes impossible to buy even with money!"

"Our martial arts association cooperates with the military, and a significant portion of the alien beasts they kill on the front lines are sent to martial arts associations in various regions."

"These strange beasts can be refined into potions, elixirs, weapons, armor, and more!"

"These are things that even the largest conglomerates can't obtain; we can only rely on the Martial Arts Association!"

"And the only way to exchange for rare cultivation resources is through Martial Arts Association points."

"In addition to redeeming the above resources, Martial Arts Association points can also be used to obtain martial arts manuals, martial arts techniques, mental cultivation methods, body tempering methods, breathing techniques, and more."

"These are things that all martial artists envy!"

Let me give you an example.

Wang Ye held up one finger and said earnestly, "One point can be exchanged for a bottle of high-grade Qi and Blood potion, and there's no daily limit!"

"One point can be exchanged for a bottle of high-grade health potion?!"

These words were spoken.

Jiang Feng's eyes widened.

A bottle of high-grade Qi and Blood potion is worth ten thousand yuan!

One point can be redeemed for one bottle!

If all 300 points are exchanged for high-level health and vitality potions...

That's equivalent to three million!

"This...this is way too outrageous!"

Jiang Feng looked like he'd never seen anything like it.

Wang Ye smiled, patted Jiang Feng's shoulder affectionately like an elder, and earnestly instructed him:

"Jiang Feng, you are now a second-grade martial artist."

"The higher you climb in cultivation, the more terrifying the resources required become!"

"The rate at which it's being consumed will absolutely drive you to despair!"

"Three million in resources seems like a lot; it could even allow you to buy three hundred bottles of high-grade Qi and Blood potions like it's water!"

"but!"

"If you use these points to exchange for Spirit Gathering Pills, you can only get about thirty at most."

"For a martial artist who has just broken through to the third rank, these thirty Spirit Gathering Pills would probably be completely used up in a month of closed-door cultivation!"

"And if you want to exchange for the third-grade elixir, the Organ-Refining Pill, used to temper the five internal organs!"

"At most, you can only exchange for ten!"

"However..."

Wang Ye smiled and shook his head, comforting him, "You don't need to feel too much pressure, after all, you've only recently broken through to the second rank."

"There is still a long way to go before reaching the third-grade Transformation Realm."

"Back then, I stayed at the second-grade Bone Tempering Realm for a full three years, until I had tempered my body to the point of having copper skin and iron bones before I even attempted to break through to the third grade!"

However, Wang Ye still feels some regret.

If I had spent more time honing my skills at the second rank back then, even if I had only barely reached the Silver Bone Jade Marrow Realm, and accumulated more foundational knowledge, I wouldn't have been stuck at the third rank all this time.

Thinking of this, he gave a bitter smile.

Despite his impressive position as the head steward of the Martial Arts Association, his martial arts realm has remained at the third rank, nine stars for many years, and he has virtually no hope of breaking through to the fourth rank in this lifetime.

After all, there are many people who are stuck at this level their whole lives and never break through.

This is also why he waited for those prodigies at the entrance of the Martial Arts Association.

If he breaks through to the fourth rank.

Should we let him wait for someone?

One slap sent him flying!

A fourth-rank Grandmaster is not to be insulted!

however.

Just as Wang Ye was comforting Jiang Feng as someone who had been through similar experiences.

Jiang Feng, somewhat embarrassed, touched his nose, coughed awkwardly twice, and then lowered his voice to say:

"Um... Secretary-General Wang."

"Actually, I came to the Martial Arts Association today to prepare for the third-rank martial artist assessment."

"I think I accidentally broke through to the third rank while I was practicing last night."

"..."

"Um."

"I know you're here with your sister for the assessment today, right?"

Wang Ye smiled and nodded.

He glanced at Shen Weilan behind Jiang Feng, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

The president did say that.

This woman's talent is no less than that of those prodigies!

Not long after taking the Blood Clotting Pill, he successfully broke through and came to the Martial Arts Association today to participate in the assessment.

"etc!"

Wang Ye suddenly realized what was happening.

He turned his head sharply, looking at Jiang Feng with a shocked expression.

"What did you say?"

"You're here to participate in the third-grade martial arts assessment?!"

His hand, which had been patting Jiang Feng's shoulder, froze in mid-air.

Jiang Feng is going to take an assessment?!

He just passed the second-rank exam a few days ago, so he can't possibly be going to take the first-rank exam, right?

Then the only option is to participate in the third-grade martial arts assessment!

Wang Ye's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief, and his gaze towards Jiang Feng was filled with horror.

"Third rank!"

"You've broken through to the third rank!!!"
