Impossible, Right?!

"By the way, Chen Feng, this is my home address. I have private tutors giving me professional training every day. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask my teachers."

Jiang Shiran handed him a card with her home address on it. Chen Feng took one look and—good heavens—Jiang Shiran actually lived in the Villa Oasis Area of Jiangzhou District.

The villas there cost at least several million. Jiang Shiran's family was seriously rich.

But being suddenly given her address—didn't that mean he could visit her home in the future?

What did she mean by that?

"Thanks. If I get the chance, I'll go."

Chen Feng took the card and nodded. In reality, he would not be going.

"By the way, you're well-informed. At my current level, do you know where I can make money the fastest?"

Chen Feng asked.

After all, there were still two months before Wushen University started. During those two months, he needed resources, and he needed money.

He wanted to summon the Life Divine Tree Martial Soul as soon as possible.

"Uh, with your current strength, there should be plenty of ways for you to earn money. For example, you could go to the City Guard headquarters in Jiangzhou District and accept missions—capturing criminals, solving cases, providing clues, and so on. All of those can earn you money.

"With your current strength, you could also work as a tutor or a private bodyguard. If you aren't afraid of danger, you could go to the hunting zones and hunt. The demon beast corpses you obtain are worth enormous sums of money. Or you could fight underground boxing matches.

"Lots of places have that kind of entertainment now. Your life won't be in danger, but you'll suffer some flesh-and-blood pain. It's also a form of gambling, I suppose. It depends on you."

Jiang Shiran smiled, two dimples appearing on her cheeks. "What, are you short on money? If you are, I can lend you some."

Jiang Shiran's smile was like a blooming flower, but Chen Feng shook his head and said with a smile,

"Thanks, but I can make money myself. All the things you mentioned are possible, but I think hunting suits me pretty well. Fast and direct."

"That's true, but hunting doesn't earn Merit Points."

"Merit Points?"

"If you capture fugitives, you can earn merit value. This merit value is recorded on your personal ID. Merit value can be exchanged for all kinds of resources at the Merit Building, and it can also be used as money. The Merit Points you exchange can be spent, but the Merit Points used for your rating won't be deducted."

"What does that mean?"

"For example, if you capture one fugitive, you can earn one Merit Point. If you capture a thousand, you'll have a thousand Merit Points.

"You can exchange these Merit Points for resources at the Merit Building, which will consume the points. But in terms of your rating, once you reach a thousand Merit Points, those points won't disappear. Great Xia Nation will grant you the rights of a First-Class Citizen.

"Citizens like that will be given priority consideration by Great Xia Nation in all matters, such as civil service positions. Of course, once you attend Wushen University, that qualification itself comes with preferential treatment, so you don't need to deliberately pursue merit."

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then smiled. "Forget it. Right now, I just want to make money. Merit Points can wait."

"Mm, that works too."

Jiang Shiran nodded. After chatting simply with Chen Feng for a while longer, she left.

After school that afternoon.

Chen Feng went home.

He planned to take leave tomorrow to earn money and buy nutritional supplements to improve himself. He would strive to summon his second Martial Soul before entering Wushen University.

However, because Chen Feng's defeat of Zhang Hua had been spreading fiercely lately, even his younger sister, who was still in middle school, knew about it.

On Chen Feng's way home, his father, mother, and younger sister were chatting at school.

His younger sister said, "I heard something these past few days."

"What is it?" Chen Guoxiang asked with a smile.

"Apparently, there's a genius in Handong District who awakened the Four White Tiger Martial Souls. He went to Brother Feng's school yesterday."

Shu Qin said.

Chen Guoxiang said, "Oh? A genius from a Handong District school?

"I think I've heard people mention him before. They said this genius would achieve great things in the future. He might even enter the Wushen Army on the Outer Domain Battlefield and become a high-ranking officer. He's destined to become a big shot."

Although Chen Guoxiang was a worker, he often followed the news and knew a great deal. His face was full of yearning.

"I heard that the Wushen Army is the Martial Soul Legion on humanity's Outer Domain Battlefield, one of humanity's most formidable legions. Once you enter it, the benefits and treatment are already beyond what ordinary people can imagine. The annual salary is at least a million. You'd have risen above the masses for the rest of your life and gained a lofty status. If you became a high-ranking officer there, you'd also be a prominent figure in Great Xia Nation. Holding military power in your hands... Why are you bringing this up, Shu Qin?"

Shu Qin said, "I'm just a little confused. You don't know it, but this Zhang Hua is quite formidable. They say he's already at Blood Qi Stage Nine. But when he went to Brother Feng's school yesterday, it seems something happened."

"What happened?"

His mother asked as well.

Shu Qin said, "I heard he was defeated by a student!"

"What?"

Chen Guoxiang froze. "Impossible, right? This Zhang Hua is a genius who has been on the news. Chen Feng's school doesn't have anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. How could he lose to a student at Chen Feng's school? You must have gotten it wrong!"

Chen Guoxiang shook his head. What a joke. He knew quite a bit about these things. With the Four White Tiger Martial Souls, Zhang Hua had been born standing above millions.

Someone like that could not possibly be defeated by some nameless nobody.

His son's school did not have such a genius either.

Because these days, many media outlets reported on geniuses. Even if the media did not, people at school would discuss them on social media sites. Trying to keep it hidden was practically impossible.

Shu Qin looked at her father and mother. "We can only ask Chen Feng."

"We should ask him. Geniuses among humanity's descendants are extremely important now. They concern the prosperity of our human race in the future."

Chen Guoxiang nodded.

"I'll ask him when he gets back. I'll ask whether there's a student in his school with the same name as him."

Shu Qin said.

Chen Guoxiang said, "A student with the same name? Why ask that?"

Shu Qin said in confusion, "Because I heard that the one who defeated that genius was someone named Chen Feng. That's right, you heard correctly—his name is exactly the same as my brother's!"

"No way, right? If it's really him, then naturally that would be wonderful. If it's just someone with the same name, that's fine too. I don't expect him to have such great ability. As long as he can live his whole life safely, I'll be satisfied."

Chen Guoxiang smiled.

No matter what his son was like, he was still his son.

Of course, everyone hoped their son would become a dragon. If his son truly had such great ability, Chen Guoxiang would be willing to die right now.

"What are you talking about?"
