Borrowing Money

Speaking of which, Xu Yue looked at Chu Kuang, Lin Shuyao, and Jiang Feng and said, "Especially you three, you must seize this opportunity to have a greater chance of securing a spot in the top 100 of the grade."

"We will."

The three of them replied, a hint of seriousness appearing on their faces.

This special training was not only about whether they could advance further but also about whether they could enter the top 100 in their grade.

If someone else managed to secure a Source Energy Spring Eye, they would not only be able to advance their strength but also potentially allow some top students to overtake others.

"Alright, you all go and prepare. This special training will be held the day after tomorrow."

Seeing that all three were determined to win, Xu Yue said no more and waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Chu Kuang returned to his seat and continued to practice his martial arts, but his mind was already focused on the Source Energy Potion.

"After entering the top 600, I received a bonus of 40,000 Federal Coins. Combined with the money my father gave me and what I earned from tutoring, after deducting what I've spent, I've saved 60,000 Federal Coins."

"I only need another 40,000 Federal Coins to buy a new Source Energy Potion."

"I can't waste any time; I need to seize the opportunity to get stronger quickly."

Remembering that he still needed 40,000 Federal Coins to buy a Source Energy Potion, he decided to knock on Xu Yue's office door during the break.

"You want to borrow 40,000 from me?"

Looking at Chu Kuang before him, Xu Yue was clearly surprised. This was not a small sum.

Even with Xu Yue's strength and position, this was almost half a year's salary. He spent a lot on cultivation resources, so parting with such a large amount at once made his heart ache.

Chu Kuang nodded and said calmly, "My Basic Internal Martial Arts is not far from Perfection. Once I can cultivate it to Perfection, my Internal and External Martial Arts will merge, and my Life Level will undergo a qualitative change."

"Moreover, I feel that since my External Martial Arts reached Perfection, I seem to have broken through some bottleneck, and my Comprehension seems to have greatly improved."

"Comprehension improved?"

Xu Yue showed surprise. He recalled that after Chu Kuang's External Martial Arts reached Perfection, he had quickly climbed to over 500th place in the Tian Heng Ranking Tournament in a short period, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Have your Iron Armor Technique and Gold-Splitting Spear both reached Great Success?"

"Mm."

Chu Kuang nodded. He then shook his spear in front of Xu Yue and performed the move 'Stone Crushing Gold Splitting,' a signature technique that could only be performed when the Gold-Splitting Spear reached Great Success.

Chu Kuang's pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Could it be that you truly have Peerless Comprehension?"

With this shock, Xu Yue's heart trembled slightly.

Peerless Comprehension was comparable to Top-grade Bone Structure, and even in Tian Heng City, it was considered top-tier talent.

However, unlike Bone Structure, which could be directly measured, Comprehension was intangible and had no direct evaluation standard. It could only be inferred from the speed of comprehending martial arts.

But the speed of comprehending techniques could be influenced by various external factors and personality, and it was also closely related to the compatibility with the technique. Therefore, the measurement of Comprehension often had errors.

Someone with Ninth-grade Comprehension who comprehended a highly compatible technique might not be inferior to someone with Peerless Comprehension. Conversely, someone with Peerless Comprehension who comprehended an unsuitable technique might also have their effectiveness greatly reduced.

However, it was generally agreed that individuals with Peerless-level Comprehension were often astonishing. Such people usually far surpassed ordinary individuals when comprehending techniques.

In comparison, Top-grade Bone Structure led to better cultivation effects, while Peerless Comprehension was more suitable for comprehending profound techniques, and the probability of breaking through techniques would greatly increase.

If Chu Kuang truly had Peerless Comprehension, he had a high chance of being admitted to one of the Three Top Universities. As Chu Kuang's teacher, the performance bonuses and rewards he would receive would be incredibly impressive.

Most importantly, this represented a connection with a future powerhouse.

Perhaps he truly has excellent comprehension, but was held back by his Bone Structure before, and by stubbornly focusing on basic techniques, he got stuck in a rut, which is why his progress has been slow until now.

Xu Yue hesitated. Only this reason could explain why Chu Kuang's cultivation of advanced external martial arts could progress by leaps and bounds after his external martial arts reached Perfection.

With this thought, Xu Yue was filled with a sense of pleasant surprise. He stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, a look of hesitation appearing in his eyes.

If Chu Kuang truly had Peerless Comprehension, then this was the perfect opportunity for him to bet on him. This was a Latent Dragon who could become a High-tier Transcendent in the future, and even had the potential to reach the Divine Treasure realm.

But if he guessed wrong, and Chu Kuang only achieved his current cultivation with the help of Source Energy Potions, then investing a huge price might be a complete waste of effort.

Chu Kuang observed Xu Yue's expression the entire time, thinking he was reluctant to part with the money. He immediately said, "As long as you are willing to lend me this money, I will definitely not disappoint you in this special training."

"And once I enter the top 500, I will prioritize returning this Federal Coin to you."

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then made up his mind. "If you can enter the top 500, I will prepare a surprise for you."

With that, Xu Yue transferred a sum of Federal Coins to Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang's smart wristband chimed with a notification of the deposit. He glanced at it and was immediately surprised. "60,000?"

Xu Yue said calmly, "After your internal cultivation reaches Perfection, you will need a large amount of nutrients to supplement your Life Level. The extra 20,000 is for buying Nutrient Solution."

Chu Kuang felt a warmth in his heart. He had only been thinking about buying the Source Energy Potion, but he had forgotten that he would need Nutrient Solution to supplement his body after using it.

So, he smiled and scratched his head. "Then perhaps you could lend me another 20,000?"

"Get lost. Not a single cent more."

Xu Yue was so annoyed he felt a toothache and kicked him out.

Returning to his martial arts practice seat, Chu Kuang placed another order for a Source Energy Potion and 200 bottles of Nutrient Solution before he began to contentedly cultivate his martial arts.

And at this moment, Jiang Feng stared intently at Chu Kuang's retreating back. "He went to find Xu Yue again. It seems Xu Yue thinks highly of him lately."

"No, I have to cause some trouble for him. I absolutely cannot let him get any opportunities in the special training, or Lin Shuyao might rekindle her old feelings for him."

As this thought crossed his mind, ideas flashed through Jiang Feng's head.

A moment later, he came up with a plan and quickly walked out of his classroom to Class Six next door.

There, he pulled Chu Linfeng into a corner and said, "You asked me about Chu Kuang last time, and you said you didn't have a good relationship with your cousin. I have an idea, do you want to cooperate?"

"What do you mean?"

Chu Linfeng's gaze sharpened, a hint of surprise appearing.

Jiang Feng's lips curled into a cold smile, and then he said, "Our two classes are adjacent, and the special training locations will definitely be close to each other. How about we team up to eliminate Chu Kuang, and then fight for the ownership of the Source Energy Spring Eye?"

"Good idea."

Chu Linfeng nodded, his gaze chillingly dark as he said, "The other two in my class who have mastered External Martial Arts will definitely agree, but what about Lin Shuyao from your class..."

Jiang Feng's eyes darkened. Lin Shuyao was extremely powerful, even comparable to the elites in the key class. If she interfered, it would definitely create a huge variable.

With this in mind, Jiang Feng said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get Lin Shuyao out of the way. We just need to figure out how to deal with Chu Kuang."
