One hundred million yuan!
In a refined room, Lin Xiao sat slightly to the side, with some fruits laid out before him.
He had a vague suspicion but dared not confirm it.
Sun Xian then spoke, "Young Brother Lin, there's no need to be nervous. In fact, inviting you here was a sudden whim of mine; I felt an instant connection with you."
"Just now, I heard from my subordinates that a young Prodigy arrived at our station."
"Now that I see you, Young Brother Lin, you truly are a Dragon among men!"
If he hadn't sensed it wrong, the young man before him wasn't merely at the Late Stage of the First Rank; he had clearly reached the strength of the Late Stage of the Second Rank.
Late Stage of the Second Rank at 16 years old.
Holy crap!
He had never seen such a Prodigy in his life!
As long as no accidents occurred, this young man would undoubtedly be a pillar of the Dragon Kingdom in the future.
"Old Brother Sun, you jest. I am just an ordinary person."
Lin Xiao was neither servile nor overbearing. He felt the other party's goodwill, so it seemed his prediction was likely correct.
"Neither arrogant nor impetuous. Haha, if I had your mindset back then, perhaps I could have gone even further."
With a hint of emotion, Sun Xian didn't beat around the bush and pulled out a black card from his sleeve.
"This is our Martial Dao Association's Black Gold Membership Card."
"It allows you to enjoy a 30% discount at any Martial Dao Association branch in the Dragon Kingdom."
"Additionally, there's a 20 million credit limit each month."
"Consider it a welcome gift from this old brother."
Looking at the Black Gold Card before him, Lin Xiao didn't accept it immediately. "Old Brother, this is...?"
"Young Brother Lin, you're overthinking. Since you call me 'old brother,' this old brother wouldn't harm you."
"This card is simply a small token of my regard, with no ulterior motives."
Sun Xian smiled as he looked at the other party. Such a young Prodigy, with a grand vision in his heart, only needed to be treated with sincerity.
"In that case, Lin Xiao will not decline. Thank you, Old Brother Sun."
Lin Xiao took the Black Gold Card. He had to admit that the other party's way of handling things left him without a trace of dislike.
"Old Brother Sun, um... what does that 20 million credit limit each month mean?"
At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed. He had just accepted the other party's kindness, and now he was immediately asking for money. Was that a bit unseemly?
Sun Xian smiled and said, "It means that with this card, you can apply for a fund limit of 20 million from the Martial Dao Association each month, with a maximum annual limit of 100 million."
"And you only need to repay it within three years, without any additional interest."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes instantly lit up.
100 million a year!
This was great!
As for repaying it within three years, after three years, with his strength, repaying the debt shouldn't be a problem!
Seemingly having thought of something, Lin Xiao looked at Sun Xian with a hint of embarrassment.
"Young Brother Lin, feel free to speak."
Sun Xian revealed a slight smile. Since he chose to befriend the young man before him, he was willing to help him within his capabilities.
"Um... Old Brother Sun."
"Hmm... I wonder if I can apply for a year's worth of the limit all at once?"
After saying this, Lin Xiao himself felt a bit shameless.
His slightly flushed face showed his embarrassment.
"..."
Sun Xian was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the other party's first request to be for so much money.
So, he gazed intently at Lin Xiao, as if contemplating something.
Lin Xiao looked up, knowing that his request might be putting the other party in a difficult position, but if possible, he really wanted to try for it. 100 million was 1 million Cultivation Points.
With these 1 million Cultivation Points, he would become stronger in a short amount of time.
"It seems Young Brother Lin's courage is also extraordinary."
After some observation, Sun Xian had an idea. As the person in charge of a station, he still had some authority.
"Since that's the case, this old brother will also lend a hand to Young Brother Lin."
Hearing the other party's words, Lin Xiao's heart filled with joy, and he said,
"Please rest assured, Old Brother Sun, Lin Xiao will keep today's kindness in mind!"
"Haha."
Sun Xian also smiled. In life, there was never goodwill without reason; there was only an exchange of benefits.
"I've already had someone transfer 100 million funds to your token."
Lin Xiao immediately thanked him again and then took his leave.
Sun Xian remained seated.
"Indeed, the younger generation surpasses the older. A 16-year-old at the Late Stage of the Second Rank, even the children of those Noble Families in the imperial capital aren't this much of a Prodigy!"
Lin Xiao ran all the way back to his small room, his speed greatly increased by his Breakthrough in cultivation.
"System, convert all 100 million funds into Cultivation Points!"
"Ding, conversion successful. Current available Cultivation Points: 1 million."
What immense wealth!
Looking at the full 1 million Cultivation Points, Lin Xiao declared that he had never fought such a well-funded battle!
"Hmm, my Cultivation Technique needs to be upgraded."
"And my Special Ability, that's the重點, it also needs to be upgraded."
"Mental Energy is also very important. I find Mental Energy to be like a CPU, so add to it!"
"As for Qi and blood, I like the feeling of knocking everything down with one punch, so add to it!"
"Martial Skill, needless to say, add to it!"
"Cultivation, let's see. If there's anything left, add to it!"
Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction, very pleased with his plan.
"System, add points according to my plan!"
"Ding!"
"Points added successfully!"
The Cultivation Points instantly reset to zero, not a single one remaining.
Lin Xiao watched, highly suspicious. Every time, it left him nothing. He had very good reason to suspect that the System was secretly embezzling.
"Ding, Host, please do not insult this system brother."
"Ding, this System is a Divine-Grade Cultivation System. What are a few paltry coins? Why would I stoop to that!"
Lin Xiao didn't believe a word of it!
But...
This feeling of power, it was truly exhilarating!
Feeling the changes within himself, he felt invincible.
"System, open the panel!"
"Ding, Host's personal panel has been opened!"
"Name: Lin Xiao Gender: Male Age: 16
Race: Human
Talent: SSS-rank Special Ability Space-Time (Beyond SSS-Rank Space-Time Sacred Law Origin, Awakening progress 12%)
Space-Time Divine Eyes (One of the Ten Great Divine Eyes of the Heavens, Awakening progress 10%)
Rank: Early Stage of the Third Rank
Qi and Blood: 10,000 (Oh? A toad with chicken feathers?)
Mental Energy: 1,000 points (Keep it up, you'll catch up to the blind man soon!)
Cultivation Technique: Void Scripture (入門)
Martial Skill: Blade of Nothingness (Minor Achievement Peak)
Cultivation Points: 0"
Is this my current data?
Lin Xiao clenched his fists. He now desperately wanted to find someone to fight!
Tomorrow, I'll go to the school and find Instructor Qi!
Phew, I'll have a good night's sleep tonight!
After a simple wash, Lin Xiao lay on his bed and quickly fell into a dream. He hadn't relaxed his guard in the slightest these past few days, his nerves constantly taut, so it was indeed time to unwind.
Ever since he discovered his Transmigration, he had taken every step with extreme caution, feeling completely out of place in this world.
He lacked a great sense of security.
My life has been like treading on thin ice.
Perhaps, this was the fundamental reason he was so eager to improve his strength; only powerful strength could bring him a sense of security.
He slept until the afternoon of the next day.
Lin Xiao woke up groggily. After such a long rest, he felt much more relaxed.
"System, sign in!"
"Ding! Sign-in successful. One Grandmaster-level Combat Skill Comprehension! Would you like to receive it?"
Hmm? Another good item!
Lin Xiao was delighted.
"Receive!"
Soon, many images flooded his mind. The images depicted the life experience of a middle-aged man with Grandmaster-level Combat Skills.
"Ding, reception successful!"
With the System's help, Lin Xiao completely absorbed the Grandmaster comprehension.
At this moment, his eyes were sharp, and he stood still. If a fighting Great Master were present, they would exclaim:
The person before them seemed to be full of flaws, yet utterly flawless!
This was Grandmaster-level Combat Skill, something that didn't belong to his age.
"Is this Grandmaster-level Combat Skill?"
Lin Xiao silently contemplated, suddenly realizing how foolish his former self had been, fighting without any skill, just a brute!
Generally speaking, Combat Skills are divided into five Ranks: Micro-level, Dawn, Great Master, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster.
A 16-year-old possessing Grandmaster-level Combat Skills was unprecedented in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
It was time to go practice with Instructor Qi.
No. 3 Middle School.
On the back mountain, Instructor Qi suddenly sneezed.
"Achoo!"
"Strange, such a hot day."
"Could it be that some fellow is cursing me behind my back?"
Instructor Qi sniffed his nose, then loudly reprimanded, "You little brats, hurry up and keep going! Anyone who doesn't reach the summit in 30 minutes gets extra training tomorrow!"
The student he reprimanded dared not speak out in anger and could only grit his teeth, using all his might to keep up with the main group ahead.
Instructor Qi walked and scolded, "Hurry up, hurry up, all of you! Look at yourselves, after so many days, not a single one has Broken Through to become a Martial Artist!"
"I've never led such a terrible class!"
"Don't ever say I led you in the future; it's too embarrassing!"
The students' faces turned purple from the scolding, but there was nothing they could do; they dared not resist.
Two days ago, Zhang Tianran in their class couldn't take it anymore. As someone with A-rank Ability talent, he also had the arrogance of a Genius.
As a result, he was subdued and became obedient. Now, his daily training volume was double that of the others.
Didn't they see that they were all carrying 50 kilograms, while Zhang Tianran was carrying 100 kilograms!
"It's been many days since I heard from that Lin Xiao kid. I wonder how his training is going."
Instructor Qi stroked his chin. For such a Prodigy, he had reported him to his superiors long ago.
The superior's meaning was that Lin Xiao was not destined for them.
His words implied a message: Lin Xiao had already been noticed by higher-ups, and they had no chance!
He was somewhat disappointed by this; it was rare for him to encounter such a Prodigy.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hello, this is Qi Nuo."
"Hello, may I speak to Instructor Qi?"
Lin Xiao's inquiry came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh? It's you, Lin Xiao. Is your training over?"
"Yes, Instructor Qi. May I ask where you and the other students are now? I came to school and found you all gone."
"Oh, I'm taking them to the back mountain here for physical training. Just come straight over!"
"Okay, Instructor Qi."
After hanging up, Instructor Qi smiled. It had been many days since he saw the kid. He wondered how much skill he had gained from this training.
Not long after, a figure appeared before him; it was Lin Xiao, who had arrived.
Looking at the young man before him, Qi Nuo's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He found that after a few days, he couldn't quite see through this kid anymore.
"Instructor Qi!"
Lin Xiao greeted him politely.
"Haha, Lin Xiao, is there something you need me for? My training content isn't very effective for you at the moment."
He thought Lin Xiao was looking for him to join the training.
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"Instructor, I'd like to have another match with you."
