The First Year of Senior High Ranking Battle at Muyang Third Middle School had thus concluded.
After today, there would be no one in Muyang Third Middle School who didn't know Qin Chen's name. In fact, the name Qin Chen was spreading rapidly throughout the entire city.
"Even more powerful than Chen Qing at the same age!" This statement carried immense weight.
Of course, many people scoffed at it, especially those who had witnessed Chen Qing's strength.
It was a power they were completely unable to resist.
And now some unknown guy claimed to be even more powerful than Chen Qing?
Such doubts only ceased abruptly when Chen Qing himself heard the news and personally admitted that Qin Chen was indeed stronger than he was at the same age last year.
But what followed was an escalating storm. With Chen Qing's personal confirmation.
Everyone knew that Muyang Third Middle School had produced an unparalleled genius this year!
However, that was all in the past. At this moment, Qin Chen was in the principal's office of Muyang Third Middle School, looking with a disgusted expression at Zhang Haoran, who was gazing at him with an aunt-like smile.
"Uh... Principal!"
"I'm still a student, don't look at me like that!"
"The Minor Protection Law applies to boys too!"
"Hahaha... My apologies, my apologies!"
"Occupational hazard, I can't help but look a little longer when I see a genius!"
Zhang Haoran said with a hearty laugh.
Qin Chen: ...
"Principal, is there something you wanted to see me about?"
Hearing this, Zhang Haoran also turned serious, looking at Qin Chen and saying earnestly:
"It's like this!"
"The school plans to sponsor you, to make your cultivation path smoother!"
"Tentatively, it's five hundred thousand Star Coins per month, and unlimited access to the Gravity Room!"
"If there are any adjustments in the future, we will notify you at any time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Chen's face immediately showed deep surprise, and he blurted out subconsciously:
"That much?"
It's not uncommon for schools to sponsor students, but as far as he knew, most sponsorships were a few thousand Star Coins a month, at most ten to twenty thousand.
And he was getting a full five hundred thousand?
Even though his wealth was about to break through a million Star Coins thanks to winning the Ranking Battle.
This five hundred thousand was still a huge sum for him.
And unlimited use of the Gravity Room?
The Gravity Room was not cheap to use. If he paid with Star Coins, it would cost five thousand Star Coins per hour.
If he spent hundreds of hours in the Gravity Room in a month, that would be equivalent to earning an extra one to two million Star Coins that month?
Thinking of this, Qin Chen's eyes grew brighter and brighter, but he remained rational amidst his excitement, looking at Zhang Haoran and asking:
"If the school is giving me such generous sponsorship, what do I need to do?"
He had always believed that nothing good comes for free. If he received something, he would definitely have to pay for it.
Given Zhang Haoran's generous offer, if it wasn't too difficult, he felt he would agree.
He couldn't help it; he didn't want to be decadent, but they were offering too much!
For him right now, the most lacking thing was Star Coins!
Hearing this, Zhang Haoran smiled faintly.
"How about helping Muyang Third Middle School win the championship in next year's First Year City League?"
"That might not be possible!"
Qin Chen shook his head.
Zhang Haoran was stunned. Before he could say anything, Qin Chen revealed a smile and said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should compete across grades and win the Second Year City League championship!"
"First Year? I have no intention of fighting children!"
Qin Chen's tone was full of indifference.
The first-year students in Muyang City were no longer qualified to be his opponents.
Moreover, the gap between them would only widen as time went on. He had absolute confidence in himself.
After a long while, Zhang Haoran finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at Qin Chen, he laughed and cursed:
"Good kid! You've got quite the ambition!"
"I'm just telling the truth!"
Qin Chen spread his hands.
"Hahaha! If you can really win first place in the Second Year City League as a First Year, it will definitely greatly increase the fame of our Muyang Third Middle School!"
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Qin Chen nodded, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zhang Haoran, asking:
"Right! Principal, can I exchange all one hundred bottles of Body Tempering Fluid from my reward for Star Coins?"
"Of course, no problem! I'll convert it for you at the market price of three thousand per bottle!"
Zhang Haoran readily agreed.
Although he didn't know why Qin Chen didn't want the Body Tempering Fluid and only wanted Star Coins.
But it had nothing to do with him, he just needed to satisfy Qin Chen's needs.
Hearing this, Qin Chen's face also showed a hint of joy, and he felt a trace of gratitude towards Zhang Haoran.
Normally, if he tried to sell the Body Tempering Fluid elsewhere, he definitely wouldn't get the market price of three thousand.
How would others do business if they didn't make any profit?
Now, Zhang Haoran buying it back at market price was equivalent to giving him another sum of Star Coins.
"Then if there's nothing else, Principal, I'll go cultivate?"
"No wonder you broke through to the Body Tempering Fifth Layer in such a short time. It seems that besides having extraordinary talent, hard work in cultivation is also a major factor!"
"Go! Cultivate well and improve your strength!"
"In this world, strength is the most important thing!"
Qin Chen nodded, then stood up, bowed slightly to Zhang Haoran, and walked towards the door.
Zhang Haoran looked at Qin Chen's departing back, his eyes flickering slightly.
"I hope you don't disappoint me!"
The streets in the latter half of the night loosened up, with only streetlights shining in the emptiness. Occasionally, cars drove by, their engine sounds trailing away, returning the silence to the road.
Under Building No. 38, Boyang Street, Mufeng District, Muyang City.
A dark figure suddenly appeared, glanced up at the building in front of him, and then instantly disappeared.
Silently, as if it had never appeared before.
A few breaths later, the black shadow arrived at a door with a seal on it, his pupils filled with intense killing intent.
He glanced at the iron chain on the door and reached out directly.
As soon as he gripped the iron chain, without any apparent action from him, the chain suddenly shattered.
The broken edges were twisted and uneven, as if crushed by some powerful force.
Without hesitation, the black shadow pushed the door open and walked in.
As the familiar furnishings appeared before his eyes, a deep sadness surfaced in his gaze.
"Yuan'er, Yi'er!"
"Don't worry, I'm back!"
"I will absolutely make the person who killed you suffer the Pain of Ten Thousand Ants Devouring the Heart! I will make him regret ever coming into this world!"
A low voice echoed from the darkness, and the black shadow's vague outline was revealed in the faint light filtering in from outside the window.
It was He Wen!
To prevent anyone from knowing of his return, he had not used any form of transportation along the way.
Instead, he had run back from Thousand Miles Away.
He had endured countless hardships, all for the sake of avenging his wife and son!!
Then, He Wen suddenly let out a faint, strange sound from his mouth, as if responding to something.
Not long after, a large, plump mosquito suddenly appeared from the darkness and flew towards He Wen, finally landing on his palm...
