Beauty's good intentions, change of mentality
Fang Hanyu nodded at Ye Tian and walked toward the stairs leading upward with the girl in the purple dress, Yao Ruowu.
On the way, the girl in the purple dress glanced at Ye Tian and said to the female staff member in front of him: "Since he is someone Hanyu knows, Xiao Fang, give this student the lowest discount."
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Tian to thank her, Yao Ruowu looked at her best friend and said while walking:
"Hanyu, is he that very handsome guy named Ye Tian from your school? Seeing him is better than hearing about him; he really is a very handsome boy. No wonder you often talk about him in front of me."
"Yes, it's him. It's a pity his Cultivate talent is too poor. He is only a Level 2 Martial Apprentice now, and his family background is very ordinary. His mother is bedridden with a serious illness, and his personality is very unyielding. I estimate it will be hard for him to step onto the path of the Dao in this lifetime."
"My dear Young Miss Fang, when did you become so proactive in getting to know a man? You wouldn't happen to like him, would you?"
"Hahaha, that's true too. Our Young Miss said that if she marries in the future, she must marry a very handsome guy. This Ye Tian's appearance completely fits. No, his appearance is handsome to the heavens, far exceeding your standards!"
"Alright, Ruo Wu, you actually dare to tease me. Watch me use my Dragon Claw Hand to punish you..."
"Don't, you pervert... If you do this again, mine will be even bigger, and it will be even harder for you to catch up to me."
"You little bitch, who is small? Go die, my fairy..."
The two girls played around and soon disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Their voices were actually very quiet, and it was only because Ye Tian had reached the Martial Artist Realm that he faintly heard some of their conversation and captured some key words.
"Looking for a very handsome guy? So Teacher Fang is also a looks-obsessed person!"
Ye Tian grinned; it seemed that in the whole world, he was the one who best fit Teacher Fang's criteria for a spouse.
A beautiful lady is a gentleman's quest. Ye Tian naturally liked beauties, especially since Fang Hanyu was a rare, stunning beauty.
If one day he could conquer this fiery, stunningly beautiful teacher, it would be a thrilling and wonderful thing.
But soon, Ye Tian extinguished this thought. Improving his strength right now was the most important thing.
Whether in his past life or this life, strength is the stepping stone and preservative.
Without strength, no matter how good things are at the beginning, they will eventually succumb to reality and time.
"However, if there were more beautiful Young Misses like Yao Ruowu who are generous and don't covet my body, that would be great!"
Seeing Fang Hanyu greet Ye Tian and Young Miss Yao give Ye Tian a discount, some people around showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
But when they noticed Ye Tian's appearance, they all turned their heads away in unison.
Damn!
How can there be such a handsome man in the world?!
Too ashamed of themselves!
Too embarrassed to show their faces!
There were also some female customers in the shop, and the looks they cast at Ye Tian were radiant.
The bolder women even brushed past Ye Tian, leaving softness and fragrance on his arm, and leaving contact information in his clothing pockets.
Ye Tian was helpless and had to walk to the corner, urging the female staff member to hurry up.
Soon, the female staff member brought a pile of entry-level blade weapons and entry-level Martial Skill techniques.
Ye Tian scanned them quickly and soon chose what he wanted.
The weapon was an entry-level alloy long blade, similar in style to a Tang saber.
Because it contained titanium, it was not very heavy, but it was very tough and sharp, capable of easily piercing the Physical Body of a second-tier exotic beast.
The Martial Skill was the entry-level Martial Skill "Overlapping Wave Blade Technique".
There were three forms in total. When performed continuously, it felt like overlapping waves, with each form more powerful than the last.
The power of the final third form was twice that of the first form.
However, entry-level weapons and entry-level Martial Skills were expensive. After applying the lowest 30% discount, it still cost Ye Tian 40,000 Yuan coins.
Looking at the 20,000+ Yuan coins left in his pocket, Ye Tian thought for a moment, spent a few thousand on a set of basic combat gear and some basic hemostatic pills and gold sore medicine, then left the place.
Finding a deserted place, Ye Tian counted the remaining Yuan coins on him, which was 16,500.
He kept only 500 and recharged the rest into Wealth Points.
He began to improve the Cultivate progress of the "Overlapping Wave Blade Technique".
"Ding, consumed 30 Wealth Points, Overlapping Wave Blade Technique cultivated to Beginner level."
"Ding, consumed 50 Wealth Points, Overlapping Wave Blade Technique cultivated to Minor Achievement."
"Ding, consumed 80 Wealth Points, Overlapping Wave Blade Technique cultivated to Major Achievement."
The Cultivate progress of Martial Skills, Cultivation Technique, and secret technique are divided into four Realms: Beginner, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.
Cultivating a Martial Skill to the Beginner level can form combat power, and cultivating it to Major Achievement provides a significant boost to combat power.
If cultivated to Perfection, one can fully unleash the power of a Martial Skill.
Instantly cultivating the "Overlapping Wave Blade Technique" to Major Achievement, a large amount of blade practice memory appeared in Ye Tian's mind.
It was as if he had experienced years of practice himself; it belonged entirely to him and could be easily performed.
Clang!
Ye Tian couldn't help but slash out with his blade.
The blade light flashed.
A blue stone on the ground, over a meter long and over a foot thick, was cut in two.
This was the destructive power caused by a casual strike without him using Origin Qi.
If he used Origin Qi and the blade technique, the power would be even more astonishing.
"Having mastered this Martial Skill, coupled with this entry-level long blade, my combat power is quite good among the Martial Artist Realm."
"After all, even a Genius needs quite a bit of time to Cultivate an entry-level Martial Skill to Major Achievement; not to mention people with ordinary talent."
...
Returning to the dormitory, Zhang Hao was playing a 5v5 mobile game recently launched by Goose Group.
"Yezi, why are you back so late? Did you go home to see your parents?"
Zhang Hao looked at Ye Tian and asked, then continued to slaughter in the canyon.
His Cultivate talent was slightly better than Ye Tian's.
But not by much; he was currently only a Level 5 Martial Apprentice.
This Realm could at most get him into a specialized martial arts academy.
However, Zhang Hao's family situation was quite good; his parents were both Martial Artist, and they also ran a supermarket.
Even if he couldn't go far on the path of the Dao in the future, his future wouldn't be too bad, so he chose to lie flat early on.
"No, I went out to buy a weapon. I plan to go to the wild to hunt exotic beasts tomorrow. Remember to help me ask for leave from Teacher Liu."
Ye Tian placed the long blade on the bed, took a sip of water, and said casually.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Zhang Hao's hand playing the game trembled.
Their side happened to be in a team fight, causing his most prized Diaochan to be killed.
Putting down his phone, Zhang Hao walked to Ye Tian in disbelief and asked:
"Yezi, don't you know the wild is extremely dangerous? You are only a Level 2 Martial Apprentice; how can you kill exotic beasts? Your parents only have you as a son, you must think clearly. At worst, brother will cover for you in the future."
Ye Tian was quite moved by Zhang Hao's concern, but the other party didn't know his situation.
Thinking for a moment, Ye Tian changed his tone and smiled: "Why are you being so serious? I was joking with you. I plan to go out to find a job tomorrow, otherwise the competitive pressure will be huge after graduation."
"Oh, that's what I thought. You are usually so calm and rational, how could you do such a suicidal thing? Don't worry, I will help you ask for leave. I won't talk to you anymore, my Diaochan sister has respawned."
Seeing that Ye Tian wasn't going to the wild, Zhang Hao was no longer worried and started operating his prized Diaochan to fight five alone.
Watching Zhang Hao's lying-flat appearance, Ye Tian took a deep breath.
If it weren't for the System, he might have done as he just said and gone out to find a job tomorrow.
In this era, there is only the Martial Examination, no literary examination.
If you can't pass the Martial Examination, you can only enter society to work, adding bricks and tiles to city construction and serving Martial Artist.
But now it's different. He possesses such an awesome System, and his life has truly begun.
"Tomorrow, I will go hunt exotic beasts!"
"On the path of the Dao, I, Ye Tian the Great, am coming!"
At this moment, Ye Tian's body was filled with an astonishing aura of heroism.
