44: The disadvantages of talent advancement!

"Wow, a Great Master is truly a Great Master. I feel full of energy now."

Just an ordinary bottle of potion had the effect of soaking in Heaven And Earth Treasure for so many days.

Violent energy emanated from Su Yuanchen's body. Streaks of blood-red lightning energy gushed out, enveloping the entire Su Family hall.

"Quick, quickly get the testing crystal!"

Seeing his son undergoing a transformation, Su Dahai, in his excitement, quickly called for his subordinates to test Su Yuanchen's Talent Rank.

The Master Alchemist revealed an imperceptible smile.

This 'Talent Awakening Potion' had created more than one S-Rank Talent powerhouse. However, these man-made S-Rank Talents all had very short lifespans.

Some lasted as short as a year, others as long as three to five years. Everyone who had consumed the 'Talent Awakening Potion' invariably died a violent death, bleeding from all seven orifices.

However, that was a matter for the future, and it had nothing to do with him.

A few minutes later, after a flurry of hurried testing, the testing crystal shone with dazzling light.

"Awakened S-Rank Talent: Bursting Arc!"

"Good, good, good, son, we succeeded!"

The A-Rank Talent High-Pressure Arc successfully upgraded to S-Rank Talent Bursting Arc with the help of the Master Alchemist.

The abnormal phenomenon caused by the surging voltage filled Su Dahai's oily face with a red glow.

"What a great fortune for the family! My Su Family has finally produced an S-Rank Talent powerhouse. My life has not been in vain to my ancestors."

"Awesome, this is truly awesome!"

With the help of his subordinates, Su Yuanchen put on his clothes. After his Talent was promoted to S-Rank, he finally understood how vast the chasm was between A-Rank and S-Rank.

"Xia Qi, I'm also an S-Rank Talent now. Let's see how you'll compete with me for Yun Qingyue!"

Arrogant and unbridled, Su Yuanchen's mindset had undergone a huge change.

As fellow S-Ranks, he was wealthy beyond measure, while Xia Qi was just a poor guy. How could he possibly compete with him for a woman?

"Cough cough, Boss Su, I've fulfilled what I promised you. This reward..."

The Master Alchemist stood aside and reminded him. The 'Talent Awakening Potion' had enormous side effects. He just wanted to get his money and leave this Jianghu city as quickly as possible.

"Great Master, it's all my fault for not being hospitable enough. Someone, transfer one hundred million to the Great Master."

Su Dahai recovered from his joy and immediately instructed his butler to transfer the money.

Upon receiving the money, the Master Alchemist's old face was covered in wrinkles. He had made one hundred million from a potion that cost a few hundred thousand to make. It was an insane profit.

However, a gullible person like the Su Family was hard to find. Before, he only charged others ten to twenty million. This was the first time someone had given him one hundred million without hesitation.

Thinking of this, the Master Alchemist already wanted to leave this troublesome place immediately.

In a few days, when Su Yuanchen felt the side effects, the Su Family would probably come looking for him.

"Hey, Great Master, don't leave yet. I've arranged breakfast and morning tea. It's not too late to leave after that."

Su Dahai enthusiastically held onto the Master Alchemist, refusing to let him go.

Immediately after, a dozen beautiful maids, lightly dressed and barely covered, walked in, carrying precious Materials.

"Are these all for me?"

A dozen beauties and expensive Materials – the Master Alchemist, who had traversed the Jianghu for so many years, was stunned.

"Of course, of course. This breakfast and morning tea are all for you."

Su Dahai pointed to the plates, then to the dozen maids.

"Oh, this morning tea is quite interesting. I happen to be a bit thirsty, so I'll eat and then leave?"

"Eat and then leave, eat and then leave!"

Su Dahai narrowed his eyes, then left with Su Yuanchen and the butler, allowing the Master Alchemist to dine in peace.

As the father and son walked, Su Yuanchen glanced at the decadent hall and his expression shifted, "Dad, there's one more thing I need your help with."

"Son, just say it. As long as your dad can do it, I'll help you with it."

Su Dahai didn't care at all. The Su Family had plenty of money.

"Then I'll say it. I want you to help me propose marriage to the Yun Family!"

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Su Yuanchen's mouth. Thinking of Yun Qingyue's appearance, he was already a bit restless.

"The Yun Family? You mean Yun Qingyue, right?"

Su Dahai was also a little tempted. After all, he was rich, but his Talent was pitifully low.

His son was different. Now that he was an S-Rank Talent, coupled with the Su Family's financial power, if he could marry Yun Yanghai's daughter, his reputation would reach its Peak.

"That's right. You're also an adult now, it's time to consider your marriage. Your dad agrees to this matter. Just wait for my news."

Su Dahai thought for a moment and then agreed to the matter.

"You also need to hurry up and Level up in the wild. I've already arranged a new A-Rank team to take you to the dungeon. Your Rank can't fall behind either. There's not much time left until the college entrance exam."

"Alright, you rest. I'm an S-Rank Talent now, this small matter is nothing. I'll go to school first, then Level up later."

Su Yuanchen's confidence swelled, and he swaggered out of the Su Family.

Today was the school's mini-exam. As long as Xia Qi dared to come to school, he would definitely make Xia Qi suffer.

Unfortunately, after Su Yuanchen arrived at school and showed off in front of his classmates for a few hours, he still didn't wait for Xia Qi to come to school.

"It seems this kid doesn't dare to come. Well, that's fine. I'll just wait until I marry Yun Qingyue, then send him an invitation. Let's see what he can do, haha."

Su Yuanchen left the school triumphantly, accidentally coughing once, but he didn't pay it any mind.

It was normal to catch a slight cold after soaking in medicinal baths for a few days.

It was just a pity he didn't know that the energy within his body was quietly changing. A power not under his control was hidden within him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

East of the city, the black market.

Lina was uncharacteristically not at the counter today. He didn't know where she went.

Could it be that she was too tired from class last night and took a day off today?

Hmm, that's very likely. After all, she had class for over two hours, so he should let her rest well.

He casually found a counter trader. Upon seeing Xia Qi's information, the trader's enthusiasm immediately surged.

This was the distinguished guest that the Young Miss had repeatedly emphasized.

"Sir, are you here to sell Materials?"

"That's right."

Xia Qi nodded, looking at the other counters with some surprise. Since when were black market traders so enthusiastic?

"Please follow me."

With that, the trader led Xia Qi to the Materials trading room.

He had been to this room several times; he was very familiar with it.

"Um, can we switch to a larger room? I'm afraid my things won't fit."

"A larger room?"

The trader was stunned. Wasn't a ten-square-meter room enough for trading Materials?
