It was forged from some unknown alloy with a matte finish, giving it an understated yet luxurious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the food on the tray was even more extravagant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a palm-sized steak, grilled to a perfect golden-brown and sizzling with juice, that emitted an exotic aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was served with a few ruby-like berries and a glass of thick liquid that glowed faintly, resembling molten gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single glance was enough to sense the immense energy contained within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit... Old Qin,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo gulped, pointing at the food and stammering, \"Is th-that the B-rank Energy Meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng nodded, picked up his knife and fork, and began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steak melted in his mouth, transforming into a warm current that surged through him, rapidly replenishing the energy he’d expended during his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m so damn jealous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo wailed. \"Hurry up and tell us! What kind of good stuff do you get with a B-rank contract?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually cold and detached Shi Potian shot him a curious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three Advanced Spiritual Energy Potions, three advanced physical restoration baths, and three Mid-Level Spiritual Energy Potions per month, plus sessions with a mentor,\" Qin Feng said calmly as he ate. \"Starting next month, the number of potions and baths increases by one each month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Advanced Spiritual Energy Potions? Advanced restoration baths?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo immediately perked up. He quickly activated his wrist terminal, logged onto the official website of the Imperial Exchange, and began looking up the prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers flew across the virtual screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the curious look on his face turned to one of stunned disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...

Holy shit! Old Qin! This is insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo clutched his head, looking as if his entire worldview had just been shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three million a month was enough to buy a villa in a decent neighborhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just the value of the resources Qin Feng consumed in a single month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Shi Potian said nothing, but his hand gripping his chopsticks tightened unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Qin Feng’s pure black tray, a competitive fire flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng calmly finished the last bite of food on his tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rich energy from the B-rank Energy Meal made him feel as if every cell in his body was brimming with vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, several figures walked straight toward their table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the group was tall and well-built, with a resolute expression. It was Sun He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was followed by three or four upper-year students with composed, steady auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them had a particularly sharp gaze. As soon as Qian Duoduo saw him, he lowered his voice and said to Qin Feng, \"Old Qin, that’s Feng Ruyun, a heavy hitter from the third year. During the last Qiming School-Level League’s upperclassman tournament, he was the one who stepped up for Senior Sun He and killed that student from Golden Dragon Martial High School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng gave a slight nod, his gaze calm as he watched them approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun He’s eyes immediately landed on the pure black tray in front of Qin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes before he broke into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Qin Feng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun He’s voice was hearty. \"It’s only been a few days, and you’re already on a B-rank contract. At this rate, us old-timers can only eat your dust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sun He.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng stood up and nodded. \"Just a bit of luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are your injuries from the league coming along, Senior?\" Qin Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completely healed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun He rolled his shoulder, his joints letting out a crisp pop. \"What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I’ve actually improved a bit. My staff technique naturally reached the Perfection realm. I’m feeling fired up and looking for someone to test just how much of my strength I’ve gotten back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he stared at Qin Feng with a burning gaze, his battle intent completely undisguised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just claimed the Rookie King title and had a massive power-up. I’ve just recovered and I’m in peak condition. What do you say? Interested in sparring a few rounds with me in a private arena?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challenge was frank and direct, with no beating around the bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, a spark lit up in Qin Feng’s eyes as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just advanced to Gold Standard Human Class II and needed a sufficiently powerful opponent to test his current strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory of his crushing defeat at Sun He’s hands was still fresh in his mind. Now was the perfect opportunity for a rematch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn’t ask for more,\" Qin Feng replied crisply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! That’s the spirit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun He laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two came to an instant agreement, setting up a duel in Qiming First High School’s private arena in five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit! Holy shit! This is huge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two reached an agreement, Qian Duoduo, who was standing nearby, practically exploded with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped to his feet, practically dancing with glee as he quickly opened his terminal and logged onto the school forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[BREAKING!
