Way to Make Money

"Have you ever thought about getting into the Key Class?" Chen Zilu asked Jiang Ye.

"The Key Class?" Jiang Ye was slightly stunned, then shook his head. "I haven't."

The students in the Key Class were all newcomers with superior aptitude. Although they were in the same school, the worlds of these two types of students were completely different. As someone with Inferior Aptitude, Jiang Ye had never thought of entering the Key Class.

Chen Zilu, however, said, "Then let me ask you, do you want to aim for an Ordinary Martial Arts University, or the Twenty-Five School Alliance?"

"The Twenty-Five School Alliance." Jiang Ye said without hesitation. He used to only consider ordinary martial arts universities as his goal. But now that he had the system, his ambitions were naturally higher. Jiang Ye even harbored a sliver of desire to get into the Top Ten Elite Schools. Of course, he knew the chances were minuscule. If he had gotten the system in his first year of high school, he might have had a slim chance, but now that it was the second semester of his second year, he had too little time left. So, he had to settle for the next best thing. The Twenty-Five School Alliance was what Jiang Ye had to strive for.

Chen Zilu said, "Only by going to the Key Class will you have a sliver of hope to get into the Twenty-Five School Alliance."

"A sliver?" Jiang Ye looked at his teacher.

Chen Zilu nodded. "The Twenty-Five School Alliance is composed of twenty-five Martial Arts Universities, each of them a top-tier university. Even from our school's Key Class, only the top ten students each year can get in."

"The top ten of the Key Class?" Jiang Ye held his breath. The students in the Key Class all had superior aptitude. Most of them could reach Perfection in their cultivation by their second year. Among those with outstanding talent, some could even break through to First Break in their third year and become Starry Sky Martial Artists.

According to the teacher, does that mean you can only enter the Twenty-Five School Alliance after breaking through to First Break?

Chen Zilu smiled and said, "You've already undergone Martial Bone Awakening, so by rights, you have a chance."

"But the prerequisite is to enter the Key Class as soon as possible to study."

"The Key Class not only provides more favorable resource channels but also offers the opportunity to learn advanced Art Techniques and priority access to various trials."

"Furthermore, Key Class students can also go out and earn money as coaches."

"Putting aside other benefits, just the status of being a Key Class student will make people from all walks of life look up to you."

Jiang Ye's heart stirred slightly.

He had only had a vague understanding of the difference between the Key Class and the Ordinary Class before.

But he hadn't expected there to be so many hidden benefits.

Key Class students could actually use this status to make money!

As a coach? Being a coach is great, especially a fitness coach.

Hearing the teacher say this, he was a little tempted.

Chen Zilu continued, "Not only that, but Key Class students can also rent Virtual Helmets without restriction to enter the Virtual Starry Sky to hone their skills."

"Unlimited access to the Virtual Starry Sky?" Jiang Ye held his breath.

The Virtual Starry Sky was a technology publicly released by Blue Star after connecting with the cosmos. It was epoch-making and could replicate the real world one-to-one.

One of the two Combat assessments during the college entrance examination was conducted in the Virtual Starry Sky.

However, Virtual Helmets were expensive, costing over a million each, and even schools had limited equipment.

Ordinary Class students had only a few rental chances besides classroom needs.

"The Key Class really has a lot of privileges."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Teacher, do you teach the Key Class?"

"I only teach your Class Nine," Chen Zilu shook her head.

Jiang Ye frowned.

If it weren't for Chen Zilu teaching him, he wouldn't have been able to get that 30% increase in comprehension.

It was unlikely that any other teacher could unlock the same achievement.

He continued to ask:

"If I go to the Key Class, can I still come to you for guidance?"

Chen Zilu heard this and felt both amused and exasperated.

"My student, isn't the teaching level in the Key Class better than mine?"

Jiang Ye's expression turned serious. "In my heart, Teacher Chen's teaching level is the best."

"Don't try to flatter me, you haven't even attended a class in the Key Class."

Although Chen Zilu said this, she was still very happy inside.

She said with a smile, "If you're willing to come to me, I'll teach you as long as I have time."

"However, there are conditions for transferring to the Key Class."

Chen Zilu sat back in her chair, crossing her fair legs, and said:

"You must achieve Perfection in the Star Martial Cultivation Method before the second semester of your third year of high school."

"If you break through close to the college entrance examination, it won't be meaningful to enter the Key Class then, so the sooner you achieve Perfection, the better."

Jiang Ye nodded.

Even with his current speed, it would still be somewhat difficult to achieve Perfection before the college entrance examination.

After all, the difficulty would only increase from Great Accomplishment to Perfection.

However, with the 'Low Martial Achievement System' on him, he had this confidence.

"Hmm?"

Chen Zilu looked at him, a little curious. "You seem very confident?"

Jiang Ye honestly replied, "I'm waiting for you, teacher, to tell me a shortcut."

He believed that Chen Zilu wouldn't have said this just to discourage him.

Chen Zilu gave him a look.

"There are no shortcuts in practicing martial arts."

"However, there are indeed two paths to quickly improve your Martial Arts strength."

She looked at Jiang Ye and held up two slender fingers: "First, dietary supplements or injections. Second, participate in the school's trials."

"Trials?" Jiang Ye asked, confused.

He already knew about dietary supplements and injections.

Since Chen Zilu had previously advised against injections, dietary supplements were his only option.

However, he had never heard of trials before.

Chen Zilu explained, "Some trials at the school offer generous rewards upon completion."

"Not only can you obtain advanced art techniques, but you can also receive tens of thousands of yuan in rewards."

"At the same time, these trials can temper oneself and greatly improve your strength."

Jiang Ye held his breath slightly.

He could actually receive tens of thousands of yuan as a reward?

For his family, this would be a godsend.

To cover household expenses, especially to supply him with dietary supplements, his adoptive parents were under immense work pressure.

Tens of thousands of yuan was definitely a significant sum.

It could not only help him improve but also alleviate the family's financial strain.

Chen Zilu added, "However, the Ordinary Class only has a few slots for trials each year."

"With your current strength, even if you were allowed to participate, you wouldn't be able to pass the trial."

"We'll talk about it after your Cultivation Method reaches Great Accomplishment."

Jiang Ye nodded.

According to the teacher, the school's trials were basically participated in by students from the Key Class.

To compete with students from the Key Class, merely achieving Cultivation Method Minor Accomplishment would be far from enough.

"Also, for this semester's final assessment, if you can rank in the top ten, you'll also receive a scholarship. The higher your rank, the more scholarship money you'll get."

"Work hard."

Chen Zilu raised her fair hand and patted Jiang Ye's shoulder, saying, "If you have any questions about cultivation, remember to ask me. Don't feel embarrassed."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher," Jiang Ye said sincerely.

He could also tell that Chen Zilu treated him differently.

She might not put in so much effort for others.

"Alright, you can go back now," Chen Zilu waved her hand.

"Goodbye, Teacher."

After Jiang Ye turned and left, Chen Zilu took out a file from her drawer.

Looking at Jiang Ye's enrollment information on the file.

Chen Zilu propped up her pointed chin and murmured to herself, "Martial Bone Awakening? Interesting."

What she didn't tell Jiang Ye was.

Since Blue Star connected with the starry sky, there hadn't been a single case of Primitive Talent Martial Bone Awakening.

Those who could awaken were all of Dao Bone or higher talent.

When Jiang Ye returned to the classroom, his mindset was calm.

Getting into the Twenty-Five School Alliance was more difficult than he had imagined.

The threshold was to become a Starry Sky Martial Artist!

How difficult was it to become a Starry Sky Martial Artist?

Take his adoptive father, Jiang Dahai, for example. He also practiced martial arts.

But even now, he hadn't broken through the First Break to become a Starry Sky Martial Artist.

To break through the First Break, one first had to achieve Perfection in the Star Martial Cultivation Method and then undergo several Starry Sky Refinements.

The difficulty lay not only in the former but even more so in the latter.

[Starry Sky Refinement] was a long process.

"One step at a time."

Jiang Ye's mindset was calm as he planned to himself:

"I'll strive to reach Great Accomplishment in the Star Martial Cultivation Method before the end of my second year of high school and participate in the trials as soon as possible."

"For the second year's final exam, I must also break into the top ten, aiming for the top three."

Chen Zilu had said that poor students who ranked in the top ten of the class would receive scholarships.

And the higher the ranking, the higher the reward.

"To speed up my cultivation, I can only rely on improving my comprehension by 30%."

Jiang Ye had already made his plan.

Starting today, in addition to his cultural classes, he would consult Chen Zilu every day to trigger the 'Friend of the Ancestor' effect.

Since she wasn't afraid of being disturbed, he naturally didn't need to hold back too much.

Even if it meant being thick-skinned, he would squeeze every last drop of knowledge from Teacher Chen!
