Life was bitter as hell—just enjoy the rush, don't dig too deep. Brain storage here...

"Teacher, please give me another chance."

A tall youth was almost on his knees at that moment.

His voice carried a trace of humility and tremor.

Across from him, the hook-nosed man wore a face as cold as frost. He looked down his nose at him, his eyes filled with mockery and amusement.

"If mindless hard training worked, what would geniuses be for? Ye Fan, not only are you being expelled from the Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp, you must also pay the trial fees—a total of 200,000 Huaxia Coins, due within half a year."

"Ye Fan? Just hearing that name screams country bumpkin. In the end, hard work can never fill the gap between trash like him and geniuses like us!"

"Hahaha... Look at Ye Fan, what a pathetic sight. Like some mongrel wagging its tail and begging for mercy..."

Before Ye Fan's luggage and other belongings could even be thrown out by the trial camp staff—

At once.

A wave of shocked cries erupted from deep within the trial camp.

"It's Jin Lian! She actually awakened S-rank Spiritual Aptitude!"

"Wow, she's already touched the threshold of Huaxia's top Martial Arts Universities! And it's the highest Spiritual Aptitude awakened in this year's Jiangnan Martial University genius trial camp!"

"Jin Lian is pure and seductive, and she has talent like this too. I hereby declare that she'll be the perfect goddess in my heart from now on!"

This lively, clamorous scene stood in stark contrast to Ye Fan's wretched state.

"S-rank Spiritual Aptitude... Little Lian actually awakened S-rank Spiritual Aptitude!"

Upon hearing the news, a glimmer of hope suddenly returned to Ye Fan's previously dim eyes.

Jin Lian could be called Ye Fan's childhood sweetheart.

Her parents had both died in the Beast Tide outbreak several years ago.

For the past few years, she had been taken in by Ye Fan's family, and Ye Fan's parents had even treated her as their future daughter-in-law.

Ye Fan's father's back had bent over these past years, and his mother had grown far more haggard.

After all, supporting two people about to step onto the martial path placed an incomparably enormous burden on an ordinary family.

Martial arts was a bottomless pit that devoured gold.

Yet who could have expected Jin Lian to awaken the S-rank Spiritual Aptitude of a genius in this trial?

Spiritual Aptitude was an important measure of a martial artist's talent. From lowest to highest, it was divided into E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

Very soon.

They heard the hook-nosed teacher, who had just been so dismissive and mocking of Ye Fan.

With an excited expression and a gentle tone, he said to Jin Lian, "Student Jin Lian, are you willing to accept Jiangnan University's B-grade Cultivation Contract?"

"Every year, you will receive five million Huaxia Coins, ten million Nanda University points, and a standalone cultivation villa worth ten million, including but not limited to a Martial Arts Room, weapons, combat suits..."

"Furthermore, if you continue to perform outstandingly, you may raise the grade of your Cultivation Contract. You can review the contract details later..."

"A customized Cultivation Contract?!"

"Wow, that's fucking awesome!"

Another round of astonished cries rose from the surroundings, filled with envy and jealousy.

The hook-nosed teacher's gaze upon Jin Lian burned with fervor.

As though he were looking at the most flawless piece of uncut jade.

While the way he had looked at Ye Fan just moments ago made him seem worse than a stubborn rock.

"Hahaha..."

His heart had already blossomed with joy.

After all, he was hosting Nanda Trial Camp this year, so any geniuses he discovered counted as his achievement.

For an S-rank genius, he would also receive a handsome reward.

"Teacher, I'm willing!"

Jin Lian covered her collar and gave a slight curtsy.

"Hahaha, good. I've sent the contract to your electronic watch. Take a look, then sign it."

The hook-nosed man laughed loudly.

"It worked."

Outside, Ye Fan pumped his fist.

He seemed even happier than if he himself had tested positive for Spiritual Aptitude.

If Jin Lian put in a good word for him, he would definitely still have a chance.

For the past half year, Ye Fan had trained harder than anyone.

He firmly believed that he could awaken Spiritual Aptitude.

But Jin Lian, surrounded by the crowd and wearing a sweet smile, merely glanced at the bedraggled yet hopeful Ye Fan outside.

Then she looked away and began reading the B-grade contract on her electronic watch.

"Jin Lian must just be too busy. She'll definitely plead for me. Definitely!"

Ye Fan muttered.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you still standing around here for? Get out."

Very soon, Ye Fan was roughly shoved outside.

Even some of his belongings were casually tossed onto the ground.

Ye Fan did not get angry. After tidying up a little, he waited for Jin Lian outside Nanda Trial Camp.

By May of 2024 in the New Star Era, the weather in Jianghuai City had already turned scorching.

Only after Ye Fan had waited a full hour did he see Jin Lian emerge from the trial camp, surrounded like stars around the moon.

The girl wore a Bohemian long dress today. Her long, beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her skin was as lustrous white as snow.

She stood slender and graceful, her figure already rising and falling in all the right places.

Her snow-white neck was held high, like that of a proud white swan.

"Little Lian!"

Seeing Jin Lian, Ye Fan waved.

But the sweet, innocent Jin Lian who used to smile and call him Brother Ye Fan was nowhere to be found.

That exquisite face, both pure and alluring, was filled with indifference.

"Ye Fan, from one hour ago onward, it was destined that we would no longer belong to the same world."

"I will soar through the skies like a proud phoenix."

"And you are merely a mangy dog struggling on the ground. Our paths will never cross again!"

Her voice was icy, carrying a distant aloofness that kept people a thousand miles away.

"Hahaha..."

At Jin Lian's words, mocking laughter broke out all around them.

They were all ridiculing Ye Fan for being a toad dreaming of swan meat.

Ye Fan's eyes widened. For a moment, he could not believe that this was Jin Lian, his childhood sweetheart and girlfriend.

Crossing the river, then tearing down the bridge. Cold and heartless!

His chest heaved violently like a bellows.

Even his clenched fists crackled.

"Jin Lian, I never thought you were such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!"

"When your parents were killed by alien beasts, who took you in?!"

"How much have my parents sacrificed these past years to support your pursuit of martial arts?!"

"And which foolish boy ran to the pharmacy every day to buy medicine, brewed it for you, and treated your injuries?"

"Who kept you company, talked with you, and eased your fear and loneliness?"

"And who guided your cultivation and helped you hone your skills?!"

Ye Fan practically roared.

He felt as though two balls of fire were burning in his chest.

At his words.

A ripple also passed through Jin Lian's beautiful peach-blossom eyes.

But it was soon replaced with coldness again.

"The total amount your family spent on me over the years was 250,000 Huaxia Coins. I will repay you with 2.5 million."

"Ten times over. That's enough, isn't it?!"

"As for you, you simply aren't worthy of me, so stop indulging in delusions."

"Only the Top-tier Geniuses of Jiangnan Martial University are worthy matches for me, Jin Lian!"

Jin Lian said coldly.

Creak.

Just then, a Kulinan suddenly pulled to a stop.

A butler wearing white gloves and an impeccably tailored suit stepped out of the car.

"Young Lady Jin Lian, please. My Young Master has arranged a banquet at the residence to celebrate for you."

A fragrant breeze drifted past.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jin Lian entered the luxury car.

Ye Fan was left standing there in disarray, along with several young trial camp geniuses who watched him as if he were a monkey in a cage.

"That seems to be the car of Young Master Bai Mufeng—the Jianghuai City scion who ranks in the top three among Jiangnan Martial University's second-years!"

"Compared to a Kirin Son like that, Ye Fan really is like a toad curled up at the bottom of a well."

"Gasp... Could it be that my goddess already belongs to someone!?"

Hearing this, many onlookers looked toward Ye Fan's hair.

As though some mysterious color might be there.

Ye Fan's vision went black.

After all, he was still several months away from turning eighteen.

This blow was simply too much.

Host's misery value has been detected as off the charts. Successfully awakened—Sign-In Enlightenment System. Sign-In Enlightenment System: sign in at designated locations to obtain Enlightenment Points. Note: Enlightenment Points may be used to cultivate all martial skills and cultivation methods, and may even be used to deduce or create martial skills. Beginner Gift Pack ×1. Open it?

Ye Fan, who had nearly coughed up blood, suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

System?

There was no response.

"Open the Beginner Gift Pack."

Ye Fan shouted in his heart. At the same time, his heart pounded wildly with nervousness.

He was terrified that it was all an illusion.

Beginner Gift Pack successfully opened. Congratulations, Host—successfully claimed: Nine-Star Hegemonic Body! Successfully claimed: Void God-Refining Method.

At the same time, Ye Fan felt as though a colossal dragon dormant within his body was slowly awakening.

First sign-in location refreshed—Jiangnan Martial University.

Ye Fan immediately ran into Jiangnan Martial University. Then, before the staff could drive him away, he turned around and ran back out.

"Hahaha... Jin Lian, Jiangnan Martial University, before long, all of you will regret this!"

Scooping up his belongings from the ground, Ye Fan threw back his head and laughed before striding away.

"Has this guy gone crazy?"

Only the security guard holding a baton, who had just been about to drive Ye Fan away, broke out in goosebumps as his hair stood on end.

"Damn it, that was creepy. Why did it feel like that brat's aura was like a ferocious beast just now?"
