Three Methods

That's right!

This was the combat skill he had been looking for!

His Spiritual Energy Aptitude could finally break free from that humiliating number one.

And it was actually an Unranked Combat Skill, just like the Star Energy Cultivation Method.

An Unranked Combat Skill referred to a type of combat skill of which there was one and only one.

In other words, no matter what filtering criteria Qin Chen had selected earlier, as long as the search terms remained unchanged, this would be the only combat skill that appeared in the end.

Unranked Combat Skills could be said to encompass all realms.

Take the Star Energy Cultivation Method, for example—regardless of one's realm, this was what everyone used to absorb star energy.

Because it was the combat skill best suited for absorbing star energy.

It was simply that the higher one's realm, the faster one could absorb star energy.

The Burning Meridian Merging Spirit Art was the same. The higher one's Spiritual Energy Aptitude, the better the "ignition" effect.

Filled with excitement, Qin Chen continued reading downward, only for the expression on his face to freeze instantly.

All because of—

[Price: 1000000 Star Coins]

Qin Chen fell silent.

One Million Star Coins was nothing worth mentioning compared with those items he had just seen, each costing hundreds of millions.

But for someone like him, who had barely over seventy thousand Star Coins to his name, underwear included...

That was a huge problem!

Where the hell was he supposed to get that many Star Coins?!

After thinking for a while, Qin Chen opened Star Net.

He searched: "How to earn One Million Star Coins in a short time (Legitimate Channel)!"

Everyone knew that the illegitimate routes were the quickest way to make money.

But the problem was, those illegitimate methods were rather criminal. Before his wings had fully hardened, he had better not touch them.

Before long, a dense mass of answers appeared on the screen.

Qin Chen added more criteria and filtered them again...

More than ten minutes later~

After comparing them from every angle, Qin Chen found three methods that were currently suitable for him.

First, go to the Colosseum in Muyang City and participate in matches!

Muyang City's Colosseum was a place specifically for fighting matches. Its atmosphere was much like a boxing ring or beast-fighting arena.

There were plenty of spectators watching the battles.

Contestants could register for matches, with different realms assigned to different divisions.

For example, Qin Chen was in the Body Tempering Realm, so if he participated, he would enter Body Tempering Realm matches.

After winning, contestants could receive a large share of Star Coins. Win streaks earned even more Star Coins.

But there was also a major problem.

The Body Tempering Realm division included everyone in the Body Tempering Realm.

In other words, even though he was a rookie at the first level of the Body Tempering Realm, once he entered a match, he could run into an opponent at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

What was he supposed to fight that with, his head?

Though things probably would not be that extreme, and most opponents he encountered would be around the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Even so, it was no easy task for him right now.

Second, something countless Chosen Ones were bound to do.

Leave the city and hunt Fierce Beasts!

There were many Fierce Beasts in a place east of Muyang City called the Falling Star Mountain Range.

Every part of these Fierce Beasts was treasure.

Blood, fur, bones, teeth, and so on.

Even a first-level Body Tempering Realm Fierce Beast could fetch at least ten thousand Star Coins when sold whole.

But this option also had a huge drawback.

The Falling Star Mountain Range was no place for fun. Many of the Fierce Beasts spread throughout it were far more than merely Body Tempering Realm.

The greater the profit, the sky-high the danger!

Third, the matter of my several-hundred-million business that I simply had to mention!

Qin Chen's outward qualities were outstanding—he was, without question, a top-tier handsome guy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have inexplicably provoked trouble like He Yi.

And there was also the advantage of age.

If you think this book is good and don't want to lose track of it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf!

So—

Those who knew, knew!

Qin Chen pondered for a while before finally reaching an answer. His gaze gradually grew resolute.

It was decided—you!

Having made up his mind, Qin Chen decided to put his plan into action tomorrow.

As for now, he would keep cultivating!

How could a person not work hard?

Though he also wanted to be someone made up of 99% talent and 1% hard work, his hardware still fell a little short for the time being.

So for now, he could only be a "genius" who poured out sweat!

The next day, Qin Chen took leave from Wang Yuemei and skipped class, heading straight for his destination.

An hour later, Qin Chen arrived in front of a building.

He looked up, confirmed that he had the right place, and walked straight in.

At the center of the building hung several enormous words.

"Chang'an Lending"!

Entering the lobby, Qin Chen swept his gaze around before walking directly to the reception desk.

He stepped forward and got straight to the point.

"I want to borrow money!"

That's right!

He wasn't choosing any of those three methods!

Hey, bro, what era was this? Why bother with all that pointless nonsense?

When it came to making money fast, what could compare to borrowing it?

Did he really need to risk his life hunting Fierce Beasts or go get beaten up at a martial arena?

The sooner he bought the Burning Meridian Merging Spirit Art, the sooner he could enjoy the beauty of the world!

As for the exorbitant interest brought by borrowing?

That wasn't a problem at all!

The earning speed of high-level Body Tempering martial artists and low-level Body Tempering martial artists wasn't even on the same level.

He could rely on the Burning Meridian Merging Spirit Art to break through to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer or higher in a short time. By then, wouldn't going to the martial arena to make money be countless times faster than what he could earn now?

Hearing that someone wanted a loan, a hulking man at the counter, his body covered in tattoos and his face full of flesh, immediately broke into a smile.

And when he saw Qin Chen's youthful appearance, his smile widened even further.

What he loved most was luring... helping young people like this!

Happy as he was, loans still had to follow procedure!

He tapped a few times on his Star Ring, and a pale blue screen appeared before Qin Chen.

The burly man looked at Qin Chen and said, "Fill in some of the information above! We'll use it to assess your loan limit!"

Qin Chen glanced over it. It was mostly asking him to list the assets under his name.

If he failed to repay the loan, those assets would be forcibly seized.

But Qin Chen only gave it one look before losing interest.

Because the only thing under his name was the old, rundown little apartment his parents had left him before they died.

It wasn't even worth a hundred thousand Star Coins. Filling it in would be useless anyway.

So Qin Chen said directly, "I want a Martial Artist Loan!"

Before coming here, Qin Chen had already looked up the relevant information on the Star Net.

He knew that most lending companies offered Martial Artist Loans as an option.

Martial Artist Loans required no collateral, because one's own strength was the confidence to repay.

The loan amount for a Martial Artist Loan was determined by one's realm. The higher the realm, the higher the amount one could borrow.

But there was one issue: the interest on Martial Artist Loans was equally high.

Because Martial Artist Loans also carried great risks for lending companies.

What if the borrower accidentally died? Who would they go to for repayment then?

Thus, profit and risk went hand in hand. Since they had to shoulder such risks, the profits had to be large enough.

As his words fell, Qin Chen released his aura.

In an instant, the burly man's expression changed dramatically...
