Such Hardships, I Fear, Cannot Be Told to Outsiders!

Looking at Lin Tian's courteous manner...

Bao Tianhua immediately smiled again without the slightest concern. "Senior Brother, why be so polite? This truly doesn't amount to much for me."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. There are ten Blood-Qi Pills in this medicine bottle, and you will receive the same treatment every month from now on."

"When the time comes, if Senior Brother's luck is good, perhaps the Dark Force may not necessarily be impossible to break through."

"Ten Blood-Qi Pills!"

After hearing what the other party said...

Lin Tian was immediately startled again.

After all, he understood very well that this sponsorship was not some so-called fixed treatment.

This so-called sponsorship was entirely based on a certain force's evaluation of a genius, and resources were given accordingly.

The higher one's talent, the more resources one would naturally receive.

Especially these Blood-Qi Pills that could aid a martial artist's cultivation.

From what Lin Tian knew...

A genius at Xiao Tian's level...

Could obtain five Blood-Qi Pills a month from the family behind Lin Qian.

But he could actually receive ten??

Why did this treatment look so strange?

Although he knew that Bao Tianhua came from a family of great merchants...

And that his spending would certainly be lavish.

Wasn't this level of lavishness a little over the top??

These were ten Blood-Qi Pills!

A single Blood-Qi Pill outside would start at least at five taels of silver.

So what he held in his hands now was worth as much as fifty taels?

And he would get this every month??

"This... Junior Brother Bao, could there be some mistake? How could I have ten Blood-Qi Pills?"

When Bao Tianhua heard the other party's words, he waved his hand without a care and said, "There's no mistake. These are for you! If you don't believe me, you can look at the contract in your hands."

Although Bao Tianhua's tone was completely unconcerned as he spoke...

He also found this contract rather strange.

After all, the contract he had originally intended to give Lin Tian was not this one.

And with his current position in the Bao Family, he had no way of mobilizing such a large sponsorship contract for Lin Tian.

The most he could mobilize was sponsorship of five Blood-Qi Pills.

But early today, the steward had suddenly come to him, saying they wanted to raise the level of his sponsorship?

They had directly brought out the Bao Family's highest-level sponsorship.

Saying that only this could display the Bao Family's style and dignity?

Bao Tianhua did not quite understand the purpose behind this.

But afterward, he still agreed.

After all, to him, if he could secure more resources for Lin Tian, he was naturally happy to do so.

This could also count as giving him face in front of a friend, no?

And Lin Tian had also finished reading the contract in his hands.

Immediately, he truly discovered that the Bao Family's sponsorship for him was indeed ten Blood-Qi Pills.

This... this Bao Family was truly generous!

After seeing the contents of the contract, Lin Tian secretly exclaimed in his heart.

And seeing Lin Tian's astonished expression before him...

Bao Tianhua naturally felt quite pleased in his heart.

"This... many thanks."

Lin Tian thanked Bao Tianhua once again.

After all, there was no doubt that Bao Tianhua must have paid some sort of price to obtain this contract for him!!!

Otherwise, how could the other party, a down-and-out young master, have such ability to bring him a contract like this?

The hardship involved was probably not enough to speak of to outsiders!!

This favor, he, Lin Tian, would naturally keep in his heart.

Of course, he also had his own confidence in accepting it. After all, he had the Fate Grid.

He was confident that he would definitely be able to repay him in the future.

"Haha, Senior Brother, you're too polite. Since you and I are friends, why is there any need to say such things?"

"And with these Blood-Qi Pills, I think as long as Senior Brother is willing to put in the hard work..."

"In the future, Dark Force, or even realms above it, may not be impossible for you to achieve!"

"Who knows? When the time comes, perhaps I'll be the one needing your help."

Bao Tianhua spoke again in a joking tone.

"Definitely."

Lin Tian did not say much more to the other party, only these two words.

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

But Lin Tian spoke those two words with incomparable seriousness.

The two chatted idly for a while longer.

Then they parted ways and each went off to train.

Clutching the pill bottle in his hand...

Lin Tian also began his own cultivation.

But Lin Qian and the others, who saw this scene from the side, had all kinds of feelings mixed together in their hearts.

They did not even know what words they should use to explain their mood.

Those were ten Blood-Qi Pills!

A full ten!

What kind of luck did this Lin Tian have, to actually obtain such an opportunity?

At this moment, their hearts were undoubtedly sour.

Although they were very clear that the pills Bao Tianhua had given were destined to be like water poured into the river.

Lin Tian was destined to disappoint him.

But those were still a full ten Blood-Qi Pills!

Although that Lin Tian was a piece of trash in their eyes...

He had truly obtained ten Blood-Qi Pills!

This...

For a time, all sorts of emotions surged and churned endlessly in everyone's hearts.

"Hmph! In the end, it's destined to come to nothing. I suppose he'll only be able to receive these few months of support."

"After all, if Lin Tian gives no results later, this support will naturally be cut off."

Lin Qian's voice carried an extremely disdainful tone as she spoke.

She had already felt uncomfortable in her heart with the existence of people like Lin Tian.

Now, seeing him once again gain such great benefits because of luck...

That discomfort in her heart immediately turned into dissatisfaction and rage!!

Why should someone born a mud-legged peasant be able to obtain so many benefits just by relying on luck?

And when everyone at the side heard these words, they also felt slightly better in their hearts.

Thinking about it, that was true as well.

After all, for Lin Tian to rely on hard work to break through to Bright Force was already his limit.

And now he wanted to rely on the same method to break through to Dark Force?

What kind of joke was that?

Did he think breaking through to Dark Force could still be achieved by hard work?

Impossible!

If hard work were useful, then Dark Force would have long since filled the streets.

How could it still be so rare?

Perhaps when that time came, this Lin Tian would understand.

Dark Force was a goal that people like him would have to look up to for their entire lives!!

After saying this, everyone no longer paid attention to Lin Tian.

Rather than fussing over someone who was destined to be from a completely different world than them...

They might as well first put their attention on their own cultivation.

After all, before long...

They would have to begin preparing for the Martial Examination.

When the time came, they would still have to fight tooth and nail for that final nomination slot!

And so, another month passed in cultivation.

Though training at the Martial Academy was dry and tasteless.

There was no longer that usual ease and comfort of ordinary days.

What filled the air instead was severity and solemnity.

There was only one reason for all of this.

That was... the Martial Examination was near.

Although none of the Outer Academy disciples were qualified to take part.

Among those who came here to practice martial arts, who did not yearn for the Martial Examination?

So even if there was only that faint, uncertain thread of a chance, they would naturally stake everything on fighting for it!!

Especially after Lin Tian broke through in the Outer Academy, it gave everyone a thread of hope.

After all, if they were also as lucky as Lin Tian and broke through to Bright Force...

Then in this Outer City, they could truly be considered to have turned their lives around!

And just as everyone was still sunk in tense training.

A series of thunderous booms immediately came from within the Inner Academy.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!

Six consecutive thunderous booms rang out at once, entering everyone's ears.
