Chapter 158 The Butterfly Effect, Generous Funding

A peaceful campus life.

On a morning in mid-January.

It was broken by a phone call.

"That's wonderful."

"Thank you for your sponsorship."

Inside the principal's office, Wu Changhe held the phone in his hand.

His tone was somewhat excited.

You were sitting on the sofa drinking tea at the time.

Hearing this unusual commotion from Wu Changhe,

you couldn't help but put down your teacup.

A full few minutes passed.

Before Wu Changhe, amidst constant thanks,

hung up the phone.

Wu Changhe turned around.

Looking at you,

he was completely stunned.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

You asked in confusion.

"Li Ang, oh Li Ang..."

Wu Changhe took several deep breaths.

Only then did he manage to calm his excited mood.

He strode over to you.

And slapped you on the shoulder.

"You kid, this time you are truly going to soar to the heavens!"

"That phone call just now was from Changjing City!"

Wu Changhe said with some excitement.

"Do you remember that alumnus you asked me about a year ago?"

"Professor Wang Yi from the Changjing Martial Arts University Martial Arts Research Institute!"

Hearing this name, you were also somewhat surprised.

"Professor Wang Yi? Why would he call you?"

"He is here for you!"

Wu Changhe paced back and forth in the office excitedly.

"He doesn't know from which channel,"

he learned of your excellent performance in Longnan City during this period.

Especially after learning that you have already reached the Origin Opening Realm.

He is very happy that his alma mater could produce such a peerless Genius like you!"

"Professor Wang Yi clearly stated on the phone."

"He has taken a liking to your potential."

"He is willing to provide you with all-around sponsorship in his personal capacity!"

"He is not only willing to provide Cultivation resources for the Origin Opening Realm."

"He even promised."

"To tailor subsequent Yuan Martial Cultivation Technique for you!"

"He hopes you can make good use of this last period of time before the College Entrance Examination."

"And further increase the number of your acupoints."

"He hopes you can get a good ranking in the special test in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Listening to Wu Changhe's rapid-fire retelling,

although the expression on your face was very happy,

deep down, you were already experiencing Surging Waves.

Alarm bells were ringing!

"This script... I haven't seen it before!"

In the previous simulations,

whether you were obscure or you were sweeping through enemies,

this senior, Professor Wang Yi, had never acted like this before.

Voluntarily stepping forward to sponsor you!

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.

A Soaring Realm professor from Changjing Martial Arts University.

Suddenly caring so much about a high school student in a border city thousands of kilometers away.

After this phone call,

someone who didn't know better would think you were Professor Wang Yi's long-lost younger brother!

You calmly analyzed this sudden windfall.

However, Wu Changhe was clearly blinded by this huge surprise.

You looked at Wu Changhe, who was still rubbing his hands in excitement.

Although Wu Changhe also felt a bit strange about this sudden sponsorship,

in Wu Changhe's simple values,

Professor Wang Yi had once returned to his alma mater to make a low-key charitable donation.

This was enough to prove that he was a good person with sentiments and worthy of trust.

Coupled with the fact that this sponsorship was like sending charcoal in the snow for you,

opening acupoints in the Origin Opening Realm is very resource-intensive.

Wu Changhe was naturally overjoyed.

But you were different.

You possess the life simulator.

You have a very clear understanding of what might happen in the future.

"Could it be that I've been targeted again?"

You recalled that black letter from before.

You speculated to yourself.

But thinking carefully, you felt it didn't make much sense.

On the surface, you are just a commoner Genius who has just begun to emerge.

The only valuable thing about you is that bit of talent.

It shouldn't be enough to make a Soaring Realm professor from Changjing Martial Arts University go to such great lengths to plot against you.

"It could be the butterfly effect."

You guessed in your heart.

"Because the choices I made in this simulation are different from the previous ones."

"These unusual actions are like throwing a stone onto a calm lake surface."

"The resulting ripples of fate not only changed the landscape of Longnan City,"

"but even spread to Changjing City, thousands of kilometers away."

Having figured this out, the vigilance in your heart eased slightly.

But you remained cautious.

You couldn't tell Wu Changhe directly that there might be something fishy about this.

After all, Wu Changhe isn't like you, capable of predicting the future.

You couldn't explain your concerns at all.

"Then... will Professor Wang Yi come to Longnan in person?"

You asked, feigning some anticipation.

"He did say that he is busy with projects on hand recently and can't get away."

Wu Changhe explained.

"However, before delivering the resources and Cultivation Technique,"

"He will first send a capable subordinate over."

"To give you a test."

"He said this is the only way to more accurately help you select the most suitable resources."

On the surface, you appeared somewhat excited.

But deep down,

you were calmly thinking of countermeasures.

This is not a difficult hurdle for you now.

After all, even if Professor Wang Yi came in person, so what?

Who isn't a Soaring Realm Martial Artist?

...

Late January.

As a plane flying directly from Changjing City to Longnan landed,

the mysterious guest from Changjing finally arrived.

The first meeting with this guest from Changjing,

was in a lounge that the school had specially cleared out for you.

The other party was named Wang Rui.

He was a middle-aged man with slightly graying hair and wearing a crisp suit.

"Young Master Li Ang, hello."

"I am Professor Wang Yi's personal assistant, you can call me Old Wang."

Wang Rui's form of address made you pause slightly.

But you didn't show it.

You just politely shook his hand.

Afterwards, accompanied by Wu Changhe,

Wang Rui opened several huge silver suitcases he had brought with him.

Inside were filled with various precision measurement equipment you had never even seen before.

Next, there was a three-hour comprehensive test.

From the most basic bone density and muscle fiber toughness,

to the peak of Qi and blood eruption, and the efficiency of Yuan force circulation circuits,

and then to the limit threshold of Mental Energy...

as well as the affinity for Water-elemental Ability.

These devices Wang Rui brought,

involved all aspects of a Martial Artist's data.

And during the testing process,

the powerful effect of [Reflection of the Years · Thousand Faces of Myriad Selves],

meant you didn't feel any pressure.

But even the superficial data you revealed,

was enough to make the knowledgeable Wang Rui, when recording the data,

have his hand holding the electronic pen tremble slightly.

"This... how is this possible?"

"These values are not right."

Wang Rui looked at the exaggerated values on the tablet.

His eyes were almost popping out.

Just looking at these data,

he couldn't treat you as an eighteen-year-old high school student who had just been promoted to the Origin Opening Realm.

Wang Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and in the eyes looking at you,

there was no longer just politeness.

It carried a hint of deep awe.

However, as an extremely professional assistant,

Wang Rui's self-rationalization ability was also top-notch.

"No wonder the Young Master would value this youth in a remote border town so much."

Wang Rui imagined wildly in his heart.

"Moreover, I heard that the Kaiyuan Cultivation Technique this youth is cultivating,"

"is actually a top-tier technique personally bestowed by the Great Grandmaster!"

"A Prodigy-level talent,"

"plus the Great Grandmaster's top-tier Cultivation Technique..."

"That explains it!"

Wang Rui completely convinced himself in his heart.

"Young Master Li, your talent... is breathtaking."

After the test, while packing up the equipment,

Wang Rui said to you extremely respectfully.

"I will immediately encrypt all your data and transmit it back to Changjing."

"Please wait patiently, at most one month."

"The resources Professor Wang Yi prepared for you will arrive."

Wang Rui didn't stay long and immediately bid farewell and left.
