13: Honor students, generous rewards

“We, Hongxing Martial Arts Gym, concede this Challenge Match…”

Crew Cut said this with great reluctance.

“But don’t get too smug. My loss is due to my lack of skill, not Eighth High School’s weakness. Lord Xia will get our Face back!”

“Exactly! When Lord Xia comes, she’ll definitely show you what it means to have a Heaven-Defying Talent beyond a Genius!”

The remaining few from Eighth High School also looked unconvinced, glaring at Jiang Fan with indignation.

The few people seemed to greatly admire this person named Lord Xia.

Upon hearing this, the people from First High School were even more disdainful, all activating their taunting skills.

“Stop bragging! Are you trying to save Face by force?”

“We don’t care if it’s Lord Xia or Winter God! As long as you dare to come, we’ll knock you all down!”

...

Under the barrage of words from the crowd,

The Eighth High School group scurried away like a flock of defeated roosters.

Gu Jian, who had always been strong, originally thought his arrival in Yunbian City would be a dimension-crushing blow.

He didn't expect to encounter a show of Divine Might as soon as he arrived, which made him extremely depressed.

As he spoke those words,

Hongxing Martial Arts Gym added another loss to its Challenge Match record, while Limit Martial Arts Gym gained a victory.

At the same time, First High School’s record against Eighth High School was rewritten to 6-0!

“We won!”

The students of Limit Martial Arts Gym cheered, all looking at Jiang Fan on the stage with reverence.

Jiang Fan, who was originally regarded as a good-for-nothing by everyone, from this moment on, became a Martial Artist respected by all!

Among his peers, no one dared to look down on him again!

Looking at the cheering crowd below the stage, Jiang Fan also sighed with emotion:

“This fate is truly unpredictable!”

Immediately, he raised his left arm and looked at his Qi and Blood Bracelet.

“It’s almost 11 o’clock. I need to hurry and sell the beast eggs, and I still have to rush home to cook!”

Just as Jiang Fan was about to leave, a deep voice came:

“Student Jiang has truly displayed Divine Might today, preserving the reputation of our Limit Martial Arts Gym. I am truly grateful!”

Jiang Fan looked in the direction of the voice.

Gym Master Chang Long, Gym Leader was walking towards him with a smile on his Face, with Instructor Leiming following behind him.

When Jiang Fan saw the two of them, he instantly felt a little guilty.

After all, the Puppet in Test Room Five was still in pieces, wasn't it?

If he were asked to pay for it in public, wouldn't he lose a lot of Face?

“Ah, Gym Master Chang, you’re too kind! Although I am not a student of Limit Martial Arts Gym, it is only right for me to contribute!”

Jiang Fan had been to Limit Martial Arts Gym many times, but only to test his Qi and Blood and combat power; he had never trained there.

The reason was simple: he was poor and couldn't afford the training fees at the Martial Arts Gym.

Therefore, in reality, he was not an official student of Limit Martial Arts Gym.

Upon hearing this, Chang Long, Gym Leader quickly corrected him:

“Student Jiang, what are you saying? You have always been an official student of our Limit Martial Arts Gym. Moreover, from today onwards, you are an honorary student of our Limit Martial Arts Gym!”

If it were to spread that Jiang Fan was not an official student, but merely a casual visitor at Limit Martial Arts Gym.

Then today's match results would not count.

Such a result was definitely not something Chang Long, Gym Leader could accept!

Therefore, Jiang Fan absolutely had to be a student of Limit Martial Arts Gym!

“Honorary student?? I think I’ll pass.”

Jiang Fan shook his head.

The title of honorary student sounded like it would cost a lot of money, and he didn't have the money to buy such superficial titles right now.

Chang Long, Gym Leader's expression froze upon hearing this, thinking that Jiang Fan was not satisfied with the conditions he offered.

So, he gritted his teeth and said:

“For honorary students, the Martial Arts Gym provides a monthly subsidy of 20,000 yuan, all Martial Skills in the Martial Arts Gym can be learned for free, and there will be an exclusive training room! Student Jiang, why don't you reconsider?”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding students watching instantly burst into an uproar!

Their annual expenses for training at the Martial Arts Gym were around 100,000 yuan, and they could only choose one Martial Skill.

Not only did Jiang Fan not have to spend a single cent as a student, but he could also earn money, and he would earn 20,000 yuan a month!

One should know that the average monthly income in Yunbian City now was only around 5,000 yuan.

Jiang Fan was still a student, yet his income was already four times that of an ordinary person!

Not to mention the Heaven-Defying treatment of learning Martial Skills freely and having an exclusive training room!

It truly made one seethe with Qi when comparing people!

However, thinking about the strength Jiang Fan displayed, everyone gradually became balanced!

To put it bluntly, it was still their own lack of strength, no one else to blame!

Instructor Leiming, who was beside them, also had his eyelids twitching. When did the Gym Master become so generous?

His monthly salary as an instructor was only 10,000 yuan, yet he was directly giving Jiang Fan a monthly subsidy of 20,000 yuan!

...

20,000 yuan monthly subsidy??!

Martial Skills??!

Exclusive training room??!

Listening to these conditions, Jiang Fan's heart pounded.

Each of these conditions was hugely attractive to Jiang Fan!

Money goes without saying; whether it was his sister's medical expenses or his own Cultivation resources, they were all considerable expenses.

With this money, a lot of pressure could be alleviated.

An exclusive training room would naturally be much more efficient than training at home.

And Martial Skills, Jiang Fan was currently most lacking in Martial Skills.

Although his current talents were Heaven-Defying, none of them were combat-enhancing talents.

Relying solely on Intermediate Combat Skill was still too singular.

If he had Martial Skills, his combat power would definitely go up another level!

“So, this honorary student means being a spokesperson for the Martial Arts Gym. Why didn't they say so earlier? I thought it was one of those memberships that a foolish rich person would buy with money?”

Jiang Fan pondered in his heart,

“Since that’s the case, why don't I take advantage of the Gym Master’s happiness from winning the match and confess about breaking the Puppet. Maybe then I won’t have to pay for it!”

Just as Jiang Fan was about to speak,

Chang Long, Gym Leader, who had been observing his words and expressions, saw Jiang Fan's prolonged hesitation and felt uneasy, so he couldn't help but put pressure on himself again:

“Given your outstanding performance in this Challenge Match, Jiang Fan, I have decided to award you 100,000 yuan as a reward! What do you think about this honorary student matter…?”

The surrounding students erupted again.

Could Gym Master Chang humble himself to this extent just to curry favor with Jiang Fan?

What was the difference between this and eagerly throwing money away?

And Leiming had already realized that the Gym Master was sparing no effort to win over Jiang Fan, wanting to bind Limit Martial Arts Gym and Jiang Fan together!

Xiao Min, who was upstairs watching all this, was somewhat impressed with Chang Long, Gym Leader. She secretly thought:

“Chang Long, Gym Leader is indeed a businessman, truly astute. To secure Jiang Fan at such a cost, he has great courage.”

One must know that investing in a super Genius before he has fully risen is the least costly and most profitable!

Chang Long, Gym Leader was well-versed in this Dao!

“Alright, I agree to be an honorary student.”

Jiang Fan tried to keep his tone calm, then he changed the subject and said,

“However, the Puppet in Test Room Five was destroyed by me, Gym Master Chang, what do you think about this…?”

“That’s its own fault for being uncooperative; it’s not your blame!”

Chang Long, Gym Leader breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Fan finally agreed.

As long as Jiang Fan was secured, what was a mere Puppet? In the future, the money for hundreds and thousands of Puppets could be earned back!

“What? The Puppet was destroyed? Is Jiang Fan that violent?”

“No wonder he could easily win the Challenge Match; his combat power must have reached the Martial Artist level, right?”

“The key is that the Gym Master even said the Puppet was uncooperative. This is… the Gym Master’s flattery is truly amazing!”

“I shouldn’t have shown up today; this blow is too great!”

...

The onlookers were already numb; what happened today was enough to utterly shock them!

Jiang Fan was not surprised to hear Gym Master Chang say this.

He also saw that Chang Long, Gym Leader was determined to invest in him.

However, he was currently short on money, and the conditions offered by Limit Martial Arts Gym were generous enough!

Since it was a win-win situation, why not do it?
