Chapter 39: Teacher, am I a piece of trash?

"There is such a thing?"

Inside the Office, Shen Yiwei's pupils flickered:

"Limit-Breaking Awakening, and also extremely high talent in the path of Horizontal Refinement!"

Shen Yiwei set down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes filled with brilliance.

Limit-Breaking Awakening indicates the other party is a person of great perseverance, and Horizontal Refinement talent indicates the other party can go very far.

"I didn't expect such talent to exist in a small Qingshan Town; Lao Luo, you've picked up a treasure." Shen Yiwei began to laugh.

Although he still appeared very fatigued, the look of worry on his face from before vanished in an instant.

To think such a genius would be excluded from the True Martial Class by the Chu Family; the Chu Family has a lot of nerve.

"That kid is indeed not bad—smart, persevering, and values loyalty. Lao Shen, I intend to give him the Tianjiao Cultivation funds from the Military Martial Guard."

"Give it!" Shen Yiwei, sporting two dark circles under his eyes, laughed out loud:

"If you don't give it to someone like this, who else could you give it to?"

Shen Yiwei Stood Up and looked around, as if searching for something.

"Lao Shen, what do you want?"

"To give a gift. Luo Puxin, your judgment of people is still very accurate. After hearing you describe his experiences and behavior, I also feel we should give something."

This counted as the only good news he had heard in the past few days.

Shen Yiwei was Laughing as he took an Origin Crystal from the storage cabinet of the desk behind him.

This was an Origin Crystal that had not yet been filled with Artistic Energy. Luo Puxin laughed and spoke:

"Lao Shen, what do you intend to give?"

"He is studying the Red Ridge Body Casting Canon, right?"

"Yes." Luo Puxin nodded.

"Then I will give him an External Forging Ultimate Technique, the Red Heart Fist." Shen Yiwei laughed.

Luo Puxin was slightly startled:

"Have you thought it through? This is your signature ultimate technique."

"Give it!" Shen Yiwei smiled faintly and sighed as he sat down:

"Such talent—if the Gong Family knew, they would also offer benefits, you know?

Some people, after they finally Escape the exploitation of the noble families, then they..."

Shen Yiwei lit a Cigarette:

"Become the new noble families.

I don't want that. If there is a genius, let them come to me; I can also provide for them, don't you agree?"

Luo Puxin's gaze was complex; he knew his old comrade-in-arms had not had an easy time these past few years, and now he appeared so frail and weak, looking as if he might collapse at any moment.

With a sullen face, he picked up a piece of Vegetable and put it into his Mouth:

"Then I'll come to get the Origin Crystal another day. The Red Heart Fist is an ultimate technique you created yourself; I think it will be hard for Chen Yan to learn it in a short while."

Shen Yiwei, however, waved his hand:

"Let's do it tonight. Isn't there still time? I will infuse this Origin Crystal tonight and give it to him; I want to tell him:

Limit-Breaking Awakening is indeed a great opportunity, but first, one must have the Fate to take it. The path of Horizontal Refinement is bitter, but it can save one's life."

Shen Yiwei laughed.

Chen Yan could succeed in Limit-Breaking Awakening; he only had one thought: this kid has strong perseverance and is suited for Horizontal Refinement.

The path of Limit-Breaking requires perseverance, opportunity, and also talent.

Being able to Awaken only proves you have perseverance; it does not prove you have talent.

Heaven knows how Zhou Ming spread his constitution; that old senior from the Martial Officer Department in the past didn't have strong talent and was simply exhausted to death by his Limit-Breaking Awakening.

"Infusing it tonight?" Luo Puxin was Stunned:

"You madman, you really don't sleep? The Red Heart Fist is not simple; you will be weak for several days after infusing it."

Shen Yiwei smiled faintly, and a pale red light was injected into the Origin Crystal in his hand:

"To tell you the truth, I haven't slept in over half a year. By the way."

Shen Yiwei spoke:

"Has that Chen Yan already gone to the True Martial Class?"

"Not yet." Luo Puxin laughed: "I brought him over today; he's in the Blood-Sniffing Room, I snuck him in to let him cultivate his Cultivation Method first."

"Ah?" Shen Yiwei was Stunned: "So it was that kid."

"You've met?"

"Yes." Shen Yiwei smiled faintly; it turned out to be a misunderstanding, and he continued to infuse the Origin Crystal.

"Holy Crap!"

Shen Yiwei exclaimed in astonishment.

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Puxin Frowned.

"He only Awakened today?" Shen Yiwei opened his Mouth, recalling Chen Yan's absorption speed earlier.

Excluding the help of the Origin of talent, that was clearly a level of understanding of the Cultivation Method already reached.

"Yes, just tonight, a few hours ago." Luo Puxin said.

"Ah?" Shen Yiwei Stood Up; this was not normal.

Should I just infuse him with a Qi-Blood Martial Technique instead?

Shen Yiwei's pupils flickered; the Limit-Breaking Hundred Meridians is difficult beyond measure.

Immediately after, he sat back down:

"Forget it, let's start the infusion."

……………

Five hours passed, and an invisible repulsive force emerged from Chen Yan's body, pushing him out of the Blood-Sniffing Room.

"You!"

In the distance, the woman stood up, her expression cold.

She had been competing with Chen Yan for SoulRefining earlier, and she never expected that the other party would actually be evenly matched with her.

At a certain moment, the other party's absorption speed suddenly became higher than hers; she used SoulRefining to interfere, only to have it destroyed by him again.

Angry.

The woman was so angry she clenched her teeth; not only had she lost to Chu Xuanxian, but she had actually lost to a member of the Gong Family who had just entered the Five Viscera Realm.

"Many thanks!"

From the doorway, the youth's hearty voice of gratitude suddenly rang out.

The woman stood stunned in place; what was he doing?

Insulting her?

Four Technique Fruit, nine Blood Fruit!

Chen Yan walked out of the Blood-Sniffing Room holding the Origin Crystal; he twisted his neck, feeling exceptionally powerful.

Truly very strong.

Expressing gratitude to that woman was precisely because of this.

The other party had sincerely helped him.

"You're out."

Luo Puxin looked at Chen Yan with a smile:

"Your file has already been registered; your Martial Merit Card should be ready by tomorrow."

Chen Yan handed the Origin Crystal in his hand to Luo Puxin and asked curiously:

"What is a Martial Merit Card?"

"I'll tell you when we're done." Luo Puxin took Chen Yan to the Technique Room first, though Chen Yan was not allowed to enter.

After a while, Chen Yan walked out of the Martial Officer Town station with a backpack on his back.

Inside the backpack was another Origin Crystal.

It was given to him by the Vice Chief of the Martial Officer Town, Shen Yiwei; the other party still had a meeting to attend, so naturally, there was no time to see him.

However, Chen Yan was certainly grateful in his heart for such a generous gift.

"Go back and cultivate well; you can come back to the Martial Officer Town to perform Observation and Imagination on the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 when you have time later.

But at that time, you will need to pay."

Luo Puxin said with a smile.

Chen Yan nodded; just now, Luo Puxin had explained some of the cultivation standards for the Military Martial Guards to him.

He had received a subsidy, but many things required Martial Merit Points to exchange for.

Slaying Ancient Beast, completing missions, or completing cultivation tasks at a certain point in time.

For example, if Chen Yan could condense another Force Pattern within a week, there would be a Martial Merit Points reward.

Tianjiao Cultivation was more importantly a method of motivation, motivating Chen Yan to become stronger.

…………

11:00 AM.

Chen Yu walked into Qingshan Town.

"I told you not to take the twenty thousand, yet you still bought your Brother another bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage."

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman sighed softly.

This foolish Disciple of hers.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will earn enough money in a short time!"

Chen Yu said in a low voice.

The Red Skirt Woman was speechless; did I tell you to earn money?

I told you to focus on your Cultivation Technique and focus on yourself.

Instead of being held back by your family; Chen Yu was just starting out, and one thousand was also money.

Chen Yu did not speak again; passing by her home's storefront, she saw it was closed and Clenched Fists.

Just at this moment, someone on the side of the road suddenly saw Chen Yu:

"Is this Chen Yan's Sister? She is truly pretty."

"She looks just like her Brother; actually, her Brother is better looking."

"Both are good-looking."

…………

Chen Yu was slightly startled; she noticed many people were looking at her, which was somewhat unexpected.

What was going on today?

"Xiaoyu!" Suddenly, an old man buying Vegetable on the side of the road spoke up, wrapped some of the best Vegetable on his stall with paper, and handed them over:

"Take some Vegetable back; your old uncle won't be able to sell them all today."

Chen Yu was stunned; she took the Vegetable and thanked the man.

"So strange." Chen Yu muttered.

"Not strange." In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman spoke:

"For this week's monthly exam, you are first in your grade; the news has likely spread back here, and I told you to keep your score down."

"I already kept it down quite a bit; who knew they were so poor." Chen Yu pursed her red lips.

"Xiaoyu, Uncle just roasted a pig trotter, take it back with you."

Passing by a roadside stall, the owner of the Barbecue Shop walked over with overflowing enthusiasm and placed a bag of roasted pig trotters into the hands of the dazed Chen Yu.

Gurgle.

Chen Yu swallowed her saliva; pig trotters are very expensive.

"Thank you, I don't want it."

She placed the pig trotters on the other person's table and ran away quickly.

"This is the benefit of being powerful; as long as you work hard, aren't the difficulties of your family solved with a wave of your hand?"

The Red Skirt Woman spoke, a Smile in her eyes.

She was secretly correcting Chen Yu's thinking: one must be powerful, and powerful as quickly as possible.

Her Elder Brother and Father were, after all, of too low a level.

Just after walking out of the Town, Chen Yu saw Hu Zeyuan fawning over someone.

The other person's head was still wrapped in gauze, but upon seeing Chen Yu, he hurriedly turned his head away.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned; is Hu Zeyuan afraid of her?

So, can being first in a school bring about such a degree of change?

Chen Yu was full of joy; then Brother must also know she ranked first, right?

Behind, Hu Zeyuan looked at Zhang Ge in front of him:

"Brother Zhang, you have great influence; whether my Son can be apprenticed to Xia Dong depends on you."

Opposite him, Zhang Ge was looking at Chen Yu's back in deep thought.

"Brother Zhang?" Hu Zeyuan spoke, but seeing Zhang Ge Frown and leave, Hu Zeyuan hurriedly grabbed the other person.

Just a moment ago, they were talking well, and the other person had agreed with a mere wave of his hand.

"Get lost." Zhang Ge looked with disgust at the dirty hand Hu Zeyuan had used to grab his sleeve.

Hu Zeyuan hurriedly let go and begged:

"Brother Zhang, you..."

"Get further away." Zhang Ge seemed to have thought of something and was in no mood to deal with Hu Zeyuan at this moment:

"What kind of thing is worthy of grabbing my clothes."

Behind him, Hu Zeyuan's face turned to Paleness.

…………

At the same time.

City Martial Officer.

"What?" The Woman named Lu Linqian opened her Mouth wide and Stood Up, but immediately sat back down as if she had lost her Soul.

"What's wrong, Xiaoqian?" Shen Yiwei asked in surprise.

Just now, his Disciple had asked him if she was a Waste the moment she came in.

Now, knowing Chen Yan's identity, she had become bewildered again.

Of course, she did not know about the Limit-Breaking Awakening.

What Shen Yiwei did not know was that at this moment, only one sentence was echoing in Lu Linqian's heart.

The other party only had an Awakening yesterday?

The other party only had an Awakening yesterday?

The other party only had an Awakening yesterday?

Huh?

Thinking of this, Lu Linqian looked at Shen Yiwei with a Crying Voice:

"Teacher, am I a Waste?"

…………

"What... happened?"

At the door of her home, Chen Yu stood there in a daze.

She saw that at her own door, people were actually lining up to give gifts; those neighbors who previously wouldn't even look at her were now looking at her with fawning expressions.

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman also opened her mouth.

The waves caused by her Disciple being first in a monthly exam were a bit too large, weren't they?
