This nomination was a little like gilding the edge of one's examination paper.

The person nominated did not necessarily have to possess any truly astonishing talent.

With a nomination in hand, in the eyes of those examiners, it was almost the equivalent of saying that a Transformation Force martial artist stood behind you.

Those examiners would more or less give some face.

When scoring, they would usually add a few extra points.

After all, a single Transformation Force expert was already a strong figure who could be called by name in the outside world.

For those examiners to do this could also be considered making friends with the Transformation Force martial artist behind the candidate.

This was somewhat like going through the back door.

It was just that this kind of back door was open and aboveboard, and was a back door whose existence was permitted.

And although one or two points looked small, who could say they would not prove useful later?

After all, these were points that appeared out of thin air.

Especially in the Martial Examination—how many people could even a single point crush beneath it?

And in the hands of a Transformation Force expert, there were only three such quotas.

Now, within the Inner Academy, Xiao Tian and Zhang Ming were certain to take two of them.

Then the remaining one would be produced from among them.

And if one wanted this quota, it was also very simple.

That was to break through to Dark Force!

As long as one broke through to Dark Force, one would be able to take this final quota steadily.

But this Dark Force... was hard! Too hard!

Dark Force and Bright Force were two completely different powers.

Wanting to break through was fundamentally no easy matter.

Right now, in this Inner Academy, she dared say that almost no one could accomplish it before the Martial Examination arrived!

And in the circumstances where no one had broken through to Dark Force, this final quota had to be decided by another method.

Strength!

That was right, it had to be fought for with strength.

Whoever was stronger would have this quota!

And very clearly, in this entire Inner Academy, aside from Zhang Ming and Xiao Tian, she and Qian Wang beside her were the strongest!

In other words, this quota would be produced between one of the two of them.

At dusk, in the Inner City, within the Bao Family.

As Bao Tianhua walked out from the steward's office, he was still holding a piece of paper in his hand.

This was the resource sponsorship he had promised to give Lin Tian.

Tomorrow, as long as he placed this thing in Lin Tian's hands, Lin Tian would be able to obtain this share of resource sponsorship from the Bao Family.

That was right. Relying on his final status within the Bao Family, such a small matter had still been completed by him very quickly.

Only, after Bao Tianhua walked out of the steward's office, the steward inside the steward's office turned and headed to a luxuriously decorated room.

"Second Young Master."

The steward saluted respectfully.

Creak.

The door was opened.

Inside, a young man with a tall, straight figure and a proper, noble face was seated upright before a desk.

"Housekeeper, what brings you to me so late?"

The youth was the Second Young Master the housekeeper had spoken of, and likewise Bao Tianhua's younger half-brother, Bao Tianming.

"Replying to Second Young Master, just now, the Eldest Young Master came to my steward's room and applied for our Bao Family's resource sponsorship for a youth who used to be in the martial hall."

"Oh? That elder brother of mine has already gone to the Outer City, yet he still has such leisurely interest?"

"Who is the person he sponsored?"

Bao Tianming asked, a trace of interest in his tone.

Hearing this, the housekeeper immediately took out the materials he had prepared in advance.

Bao Tianming quickly took those materials.

With just one glance, he could not help shaking his head and chuckling.

"Heh, what a fool. I originally thought that after he went to the Outer City, he would at least struggle a little."

"But I never expected that he would still be this stupid, actually going to invest in such goods?"

"It seems this brother of mine really is stupid beyond saving."

Hearing these words, the housekeeper immediately asked again, "Then should we also, as before..."

"Hmph, why should we bother with trash like this?"

If everyone encounters ads like "Are you a real person?", there is no need to pay them any mind. Just close them, and do not scan the code or send any text messages!

"Let him be. There is no need to interfere! Since he himself wants to give up, then we cannot be blamed!"

"Then should we tell the Master about this matter?"

The housekeeper's voice sounded again.

"Heh, no need. After all, my Bao Family has a great household and vast business. It is merely raising one piece of trash—could it be that we cannot afford even that?"

"And remember, not only must we raise him, we must also give him the highest standard of treatment!"

"After all, only in this way can the magnanimity of my Bao Family be displayed!"

At this moment, Bao Tianming spoke with an inexplicable meaning in his tone.

Hearing Bao Tianming's words, the housekeeper also knew what he meant.

He wanted to use this opportunity to thoroughly suppress that Eldest Young Master.

After all, when the family head discovered it later, that Bao Tianhua had used the Bao Family's best resources to provide for a piece of trash, the family head, who had already been disappointed in him, would, with this, need no further words said.

However, hearing this, the housekeeper said nothing.

He merely nodded, then directly withdrew.

After Bao Tianhua returned to his own residence, he immediately told his mother everything he had done today.

"What?!!"

"You actually gave the only sponsorship quota to an Inferior Bone Quality from the Outer Academy!"

Inside the room, a noblewoman with exquisite features had a face full of shock.

There was also a trace of faint anger as she spoke.

Looking at his mother's furious appearance, Bao Tianhua still wore a smile as he said, "Mother, you don't know. He is a new friend I made."

"His family is poor and destitute, yet he has walked all the way to where he is today. Someone like this will certainly be extraordinary in the future!"

"Now that civilization has sponsored him in advance, perhaps in the future, he may even be able to turn around and help us!"

"You!"

When the noblewoman heard Bao Tianhua's words, she almost instinctively wanted to retort and scold him.

But when she saw her son's honest, simple face, the anger on the noblewoman's face vanished very well.

The fire that had risen in her heart also scattered by seventy or eighty percent.

In the end, the noblewoman could only sigh.

She naturally understood her son's personality.

What "certainly extraordinary in the future," what "he will turn around and help us."

All of these were nothing more than excuses.

After all, what future could someone with Inferior Bone Quality possibly have?

It was simply that he had seen that youth as pitiful, and that was why her son had given him this chance.

Looking at her son's face, the noblewoman felt somewhat helpless.

Her son's kindness was good, but it had gone a little too far.

Right now, he felt the other party was pitiful and went to help him.

But who would come to pity them, and who could come to help them?

"Fine, fine. If you like it, then go do it. In any case, we can't do much with this quota right now."

"But Tianhua, remember this. This is the last time. In the future, whatever you want to do, you must remember to come discuss it with Mother first."

Hearing his mother's words, Bao Tianhua immediately nodded with a smile and said, "All right, I understand."

Early the next morning, Bao Tianhua arrived within the Inner Academy, and very quickly found Lin Tian.

He took out the paper scroll in his hand that had been stamped yesterday in the steward's office.

"Senior Brother Lin Tian, this is what I promised you yesterday."

Hearing him, Lin Tian immediately turned to look.

Then he saw that in Bao Tianhua's hand, aside from a scroll, there was also a bottle of pills.

He had naturally heard the other party's words clearly just now.

Had the resource sponsorship really been obtained by him?

He had even directly brought him this month's sponsorship...

Taking the things from the other party's hands, he found it somewhat hard to believe.

After all, although Bao Tianhua had sworn to him solemnly yesterday, he was very clear that if the other party's family learned he was merely someone with Inferior Bone Quality, then this matter would most likely fall through.

But he had not expected...

Without a doubt, the other party must have spent no small amount of effort on this matter.

"Great kindness needs no thanks. I, Lin Tian, will remember this favor, and I will definitely repay it in the future!"

Holding the heavy bottle of medicine in his hand, he then said solemnly.
