Need Ten Million

And that punch seemed to hit the mute button on the sports field.

The students who had been chattering incessantly moments before all turned their gazes towards Huang Sheng, who was sprawled out in the distance, falling into silence.

Even Li Ziquan, who had some expectation of Su Yuan's strength, was so stunned by the punch Su Yuan had just delivered that her mouth hung open.

Why?

Because Su Yuan was only at Qi Cultivation Level 6, while Huang Sheng was at Qi Cultivation Level 7 and his physical strength was also superior to Su Yuan's.

Even if Su Yuan had miraculously mastered Fury Heart Attack in these short few days, at most he could have relied on the Mind Method's amplification and the characteristics of his own Meridians to entangle with Huang Sheng before finally winning.

But the reality far exceeded Li Ziquan's expectations.

Instant kill!

Just like when he fought Wu Xingqi, he had directly killed his opponent instantly!

And this punch had no fancy tricks or techniques, only absolute, unquestionable power!

After a brief moment of shock, Li Ziquan's face lit up with unconcealed excitement, and she examined Su Yuan as if he were a rare treasure.

"Did he improve the Mind Method I taught him?"

Li Ziquan muttered to herself, "If that's the case, then his talent is simply..."

The surrounding students, who had been quite skeptical of Su Yuan earlier, were now completely convinced of his strength.

Huang Sheng, a strong contender for the championship, had been instantly killed. Who else would dare to question him?

With the daughter of True Man Tai Bai as his backer, managing to snatch red envelopes with the most broken phone, and his strength surpassing all other competition participants, it would be against heavenly principles if Su Yuan didn't win the championship!

If anyone present could maintain a calm mood, it would only be Chen Nuoyi.

Having tutored Su Yuan every day, she was very aware of how much his strength had improved.

"Principal Zhang, since the champion of the Martial Arts Competition has appeared, shouldn't you say a few words?"

Taihua Tianji said with a slight smile.

Zhang Youde nodded, walked up to Su Yuan, and gently patted his shoulder:

"Good boy, your name is Su Yuan, right? I hadn't heard your name before, truly a case of 'silence for years, and a single cry that startles the world'."

"The school will not go back on its word. Since you have become the competition champion, you will not only be directly admitted to the Special Class without an exam, but you will also receive a scholarship of ten thousand yuan."

As Zhang Youde spoke, a teacher brought over a plaque with "Scholarship 10,000 Yuan" printed on it.

"Ten thousand!"

Hearing this number, Su Yuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

This was not a small sum; it was equivalent to the profit from selling sixteen roast geese, or the profit from refining one hundred Calming Pills, and also equivalent to Su Yuan's living expenses for three to four months.

Next, the photographer arrived. Su Yuan quickly put on an enthusiastic smile, honed through day after day of part-time work, and posed for a photo with the principal.

The Martial Arts Competition thus concluded, albeit with a few twists and turns.

Of course, while the students were done, for the school staff who had to host Taihua Tianji, this was just the beginning.

After the photo, Su Yuan prepared to return to the team.

But at that moment, Taihua Tianji called out to him.

"Su Yuan, as a future member of the Special Class, you are also considered my disciple. There are some things I need to tell you in advance."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then quickly said:

"Teacher Tai Bai, please speak."

Taihua Tianji slowly said:

"The Special Class, established with me as the core, has only one goal."

"That is to help Taihua High School students, whose college entrance examination results would otherwise only rank within the top five hundred, or even top one thousand in the city, to achieve a ranking within the top one hundred, or even top ten."

"The most outstanding student in the Special Class, I want them to have the qualification to compete for the top spot in the college entrance examination."

As soon as he said this, Su Yuan and the students present were all startled.

Top one hundred, or even top ten in the city?

And to cultivate a top scorer in the college entrance examination?!

True Man Tai Bai's ambition was truly great.

Although Taihua City was not a first-tier or super-first-tier metropolis, it was still a second-tier city and definitely not a small place.

In this land, there were countless public and private high schools, and talents in Taihua City were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

What was Taihua High School's position in Taihua City?

It was merely one of the top five key high schools in the city.

You say top five is already very high? Heh, as everyone knows, there are two high schools ranked first in the city, five high schools ranked in the top three, and more than ten high schools ranked in the top five.

In previous years, the college entrance examination rankings of Taihua High School students would barely have one or two manage to break into the top ten in the city, with an average of no more than five people reaching the top fifty in the city.

Let's go back to what Taihua Tianji said earlier.

The Special Class should have at least thirty students, right? Judging by Taihua Tianji's tone, he's planning to monopolize half of the top 100 spots in next year's city-wide college entrance exam?

If education experts from other schools heard this, they'd probably die laughing.

But...

Thinking about it calmly, this True Man Tai Bai has been famous for a long time. Could he really be speaking nonsense?

This means he truly has the confidence.

Realizing this, Su Yuan and the other students who had a chance of entering the Special Class felt their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

Especially... the top ten in the city!

According to the historical cut-off scores in Taihua City, only by reaching the top ten could one reliably get into the top ten top-tier Immortal Dao Academies.

Only ten people in a city can get into the top ten, doesn't that sound a bit low?

Su Yuan initially had this question too, but after checking online, he understood.

It's because human civilization on Blue Star has unified. He's not competing with students from a single country like in his past life, but with students from all over the world, a population of tens of billions!

The value of getting into a top ten academy is more than ten times harder than getting into Tsinghua or Peking University in his past life!

Even Su Yuan, who had cheats, didn't dare to guarantee he could catch up to a Prodigy like Li Zhengxing before the college entrance exam arrived.

Studying under True Man Tai Bai was clearly a more reliable option.

But the problem was, why did True Man Tai Bai suddenly bring this up with him?

Su Yuan felt confused, and Taihua Tianji spoke again:

"But cultivation requires not only personal diligence and effort, and the guidance of a renowned teacher, but also a large amount of cultivation resources to support it."

"Among all students with outstanding performance in previous college entrance exams, those who improved solely through diligent cultivation are not non-existent, but they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns."

"Even with my guidance, students in the Special Class do not mean they can rest easy and not spend a single cent. They still need to rent external Spiritual Roots, and they still need to consume body-refining elixirs."

"In fact, because the training intensity I set is greater, your expenses in these areas will also increase accordingly."

Hearing this, Su Yuan could understand. After all, the school and True Man Tai Bai weren't running a charity.

Getting personal guidance from a renowned teacher was already great. Did they expect the school to cover all their expenses from now until the college entrance exam?

What more could they ask for!

But even though he understood, Su Yuan couldn't help but ask cautiously:

"Teacher Tai Bai, will the expenses after entering the Special Class be very high?"

Su Yuan asked cautiously.

Taihua Tianji nodded slightly:

"For ordinary families, it is indeed a considerable expense. However, I will also mobilize all my connections to minimize these expenses for the Special Class students as much as possible."

"So, how much exactly would it cost?"

"For a student with average aptitude, about one million."

"Per year?"

"Per month."

"Holy crap?!"

Su Yuan was stunned!

However, Principal Zhang, standing beside Taihua Tianji, immediately added:

"The school understands the difficulties of some students. Therefore, regardless of whether these monthly expenses of one million are spent or not, as long as their grades are sufficient, they can enter the Special Class."

"And if any Special Class student successfully breaks into the top ten of the city-wide exam, the school will not be stingy. The school will reimburse all the expenses incurred by that student during their time in the Special Class!"

"And if a Special Class student becomes the top scorer in this city's college entrance exam, the school will directly refund ten times all the tuition fees!"
