Wang Yue shot Su Luo an annoyed glance.
"I'll submit an application to the school. Until the college entrance exam, you'll receive two extra crystal cores every month. That should be enough, right?"
"Enough, enough. Thank you for your support, Director Wang. I won't let you down," Su Luo said joyfully.
"Director Wang, actually, there's one more small favor I'd like to ask of you," Su Luo said hesitantly.
Wang Yue glared at Su Luo.
"You brat, what other benefits do you want?"
"Don't be too greedy. Learn to be content."
Hearing that, Su Luo hurriedly waved his hands in explanation.
"No, no, no, Director Wang, you've misunderstood."
"I want to borrow some money from you."
"I had a falling-out with my family."
"Right now, I don't even have money for food."
Hearing this,
Wang Yue's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
A man
would not borrow money from others unless driven into a corner.
It seemed Su Luo truly had no money on him.
She took out her wallet.
She pulled out three hundred yuan and handed it to Su Luo.
"Take it. Remember to eat something good."
"Most importantly, don't forget to work hard at your cultivation."
"Thank you, Director Wang!" Su Luo hurriedly accepted it, took the three hundred yuan, and stuffed it into his pocket.
It had to be said, having money really was better.
With the enormous fortune of three hundred yuan, his sense of security instantly soared through the roof.
"If there's nothing else, go back to class." After saying that, Wang Yue turned and left.
Back in the classroom,
his classmates saw him return.
They all looked at him strangely,
as if they had only just met Su Luo.
Su Luo turned a deaf ear to matters outside himself.
In any case, his predecessor had been rather taciturn in class and had few friends.
Not speaking at a time like this was the best choice, lest anyone notice something unusual.
The day passed quickly.
After leaving the school gates, he hailed a taxi.
He headed toward the address he had memorized the previous night.
After getting out,
Su Luo looked at the luxurious villa before him.
Though somewhat shocked, he was not surprised.
Anyone who hired an Ability User as a sparring partner was definitely from a wealthy family.
He pressed the doorbell.
Then, from the other side of the doorbell, a crisp female voice suddenly asked,
"Are you here to be a sparring partner?"
"Yes, we arranged it last night."
"Alright, I'll open the gate for you. Just come in."
With a click, the gate opened.
Su Luo stepped into the courtyard and headed straight for the villa entrance.
At that moment, the girl happened to open the door as well.
At a glance,
she looked to be around eighteen.
She was in the prime of her beautiful youth.
Her skin was slightly dark, a wheat-colored complexion that looked deliberately tanned.
She wore her hair in a high ponytail and was dressed in very professional combat short sleeves and shorts.
At first glance, her temperament marked her as the innocent sort of girl who had yet to see much of the world.
When the girl saw Su Luo, she was slightly surprised.
"You're the guy who one-shot his opponent on the duel platform this morning?"
Su Luo nodded in surprise.
"That's right. My name is Su Luo. You're from Tianshui High School too?"
The girl stepped out of the house and pointed toward the backyard.
"Yeah, my name is Shen Huaiyue."
"Let's go to the open space in the backyard first."
"I'll test whether you're qualified for the job of sparring partner."
Following Shen Huaiyue to the open space in the backyard,
both of them assumed fighting stances.
"My strength is Ability User Tier 8."
"My ability is the A-Class Ability, Tornado."
"Be careful. Don't let my wind blades cut you!"
The moment Shen Huaiyue finished speaking,
several wind blades appeared out of thin air and shot toward Su Luo.
Su Luo raised a hand and bounced all the incoming wind blades away in every direction.
The sharp wind blades sheared away more than half the flowers and plants growing in the backyard.
Seeing this,
Shen Huaiyue looked utterly bewildered.
It was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
The wind blades she had released were not even dodged.
Instead, they were directly bounced away by some invisible force.
"What kind of ability is that? Why does it have such a power?" Shen Huaiyue asked curiously.
Su Luo flicked his finger lightly.
An Air Cannon immediately shot out and soared into the sky.
"As far as I know, it's a brand-new ability."
"Its rank should be no lower than S-Class."
"I call it the Paw Ability."
"As the name implies, it has the power to bounce back everything."
"It may sound powerful,"
"but if I'm hit by an attack vastly stronger than my own strength, I won't be able to bounce it away."
"Your strength isn't enough to crush me. Your attacks are too weak and can't break through my repulsive force."
The more Shen Huaiyue listened, the more shocked she became.
"By your logic, doesn't that make you invincible among those of the same tier?"
Su Luo rested his chin on his hand. After thinking it over, he nodded.
"In theory, yes, unless I encounter some peerless monster."
Hearing Su Luo's completely unmodest words,
Shen Huaiyue's competitive spirit was immediately stirred.
"I don't believe there's such a powerful ability in this world!"
"Take my Wind Blade Dance!"
Countless wind blades came at Su Luo from all directions.
But unfortunately, they still could not break through the repulsive force Su Luo had released.
The sky gradually darkened.
Shen Huaiyue panted as she stared at the guy before her.
"Okay! You're the one!"
"Until the college entrance exam, you're my sparring partner."
"I refuse to believe I can't break your ability."
"One session, one thousand yuan. How about it?"
"Alright! It's a deal." Su Luo smiled.
Shen Huaiyue took out her phone and gestured for Su Luo to take out his so she could transfer him the money.
Only then
did Su Luo remember.
His father had never bought him a phone.
He looked at Shen Huaiyue awkwardly.
"Miss Shen, could you give me cash instead?"
Hearing that, Shen Huaiyue nodded in confusion.
She could tell that Su Luo really did not have a phone.
There were actually still people without phones these days.
Was he an orphan?
They returned to the villa. Shen Huaiyue told Su Luo to wait outside while she went in to get the money.
Before long,
Shen Huaiyue came out with one thousand yuan and handed it to Su Luo.
"Will you come again tomorrow?" Shen Huaiyue asked.
"I will!" Su Luo nodded in reply.
After leaving Shen Huaiyue's home,
he took the one thousand yuan to the mall first.
He bought a cheap phone and got himself a phone card.
After leaving the mall,
he found a roadside stall at random and had a meal.
After eating and drinking his fill,
he found a hotel close to the school and stayed there for the night.
Meanwhile,
inside the hospital emergency room,
a person wrapped head to toe in bandages
and lying unconscious was finally wheeled out.
Pan Yun and Su Xiong stood outside the emergency room.
Seeing Su Ming finally being wheeled out, they hurried forward.
Pan Yun looked at Su Ming's miserable state and cried until her voice broke with sobs.
Su Xiong stared at Su Ming in disbelief.
He could not imagine how Su Luo had beaten Su Ming, who was far stronger than him, into such a state.
"Doctor, how is my son?" Su Xiong asked anxiously.
Hearing this, the doctor shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Bones throughout his entire body show signs of fractures."
"His ribs, in particular, suffered the most severe damage."
"Fragments of broken bone also pierced several holes in his lungs."
"Judging by his current condition, there's no way he can take this year's college entrance exam."
"Wait until he recovers next year, then make plans."
Upon hearing this,
Pan Yun ground her teeth in hatred through her tears.
"Su Xiong! This is the fine son you raised!"
"That little bastard, that jinx born of a mother but raised without one!"
"He actually dared to beat Xiao Ming into this state. I'll never forgive him!"
