thirty thousand yuan was a substantial sum for him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had received a million Xiaoguo yuan from the Genius Loan, not all of it was for his own use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a younger sister who also needed funding—she required early resource investments to build a solid foundation, so every yuan mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi understood this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After lunch, let’s go to the supermarket—we need to buy new resources,” Lin Qi suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prepare for the minor test, he had purchased large quantities of Qi-Blood capsules and Qi-Blood tonics, all consumed within a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, I need to buy some resources too—let’s go together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Qi-ge, you should replace your phone—the screen is cracked so badly you can barely see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao pointed at Lin Qi’s smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi looked at the antique device in his hand—his father Lin Zhen’s old phone—its screen now covered in spiderweb cracks, the case faded, yet he had never replaced it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s definitely time to replace it,” Lin Qi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiqiong Martial Arts Supermarket\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi stood in the tonic section, taking box after box of Qi-Blood capsules from the shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My body is growing at an astonishing rate, and my daily training load keeps increasing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To maintain my progress, I need sufficient nutrition, tonic supplementation, and Qi-Blood enhancement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I need to buy more Qi-Blood capsules and tonics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Lin Qi grabbed twenty boxes of Qi-Blood capsules, then moved to the Qi-Blood tonic shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Previously, due to lack of funds, I only bought two bottles of Qi-Blood tonic—now I can afford one per day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi grabbed a row of Qi-Blood tonics and placed them in his cart—ten bottles total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly purchasing a few other resources, he joined the checkout line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Total: 7,826 yuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Payment successful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi paid via his phone—the remaining balance of over ten thousand yuan vanished by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I could become a contracted genius at Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym, even with a 20% discount, I’d save a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, he packed his items into his backpack and waited near the cool entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Jiang Tao emerged, his backpack stretched to its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I accidentally bought a bit too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides my own resources, I bought a lot for Miao Yin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our family was poor;

I’ll upgrade after the college entrance exam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, you’re using a secondhand phone worth five or six hundred too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi operated his phone, transferring files without concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, caught me,” Jiang Tao chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two returned to school, fully loaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afternoon, Martial Arts Class\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know some of you have hired martial artists stronger than me as tutors—you don’t need my guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re free to train in your own martial rooms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng, a muscular man, stood in the center of the classroom, arms crossed, speaking loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, several students gathered their gear and left—among them were the top three students: Li Zhou, Qi Yuelin, and Yu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, over a dozen students were gone—mostly the top ten in grade, fitting the stereotype: wealthy students always had strong martial foundations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rest of you—train freely. I’ll assess your levels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over thirty students scattered, each finding a spot to begin training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi, dressed in his martial uniform, took a strip of Qi-Blood capsules from his backpack, squeezed out three, swallowed them, then drank a bottle of Qi-Blood tonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around and chose not to train with weapons like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he began practicing fist techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh-huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footwork steady, Qi sinking into his dantian, strong as an untoppable old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Motion and stillness combined—stillness held the crouching tiger’s posture, motion moved with the agility of a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang-bang-bang!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crisp sounds echoed as his tiger claws struck, the Heng Fist unleashed, power driving to his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi focused entirely, his body heating up as if on fire, Qi-Blood surging, strength flowing endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key points of the Tiger Form Fist surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Through practicing Tiger Form Fist, you’ve gained new insight into fist techniques; your bodily control has improved; Fist Technique +1%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fist Technique: Stage One 91% → 93%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi ended his stance, steam rising from his body, sweat beading on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his body properly warmed, he retrieved his training spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu-shu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the spear, yet practiced only the basic spear techniques—each flick of the shaft produced swirling spear blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With my fist technique breakthrough, spear technique is improving even faster—efficiency doubled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Practicing weapons simultaneously also consumes far more energy than pure fist training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later, Lin Qi stopped, drenched in sweat. He wiped his brow, drank a bottle of water, then resumed training the “Crushing Mountain Spear Art.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Start posture, lift the clouds, crushing thrust…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When practicing spear, the spear must never leave your grasp; your body hides behind the spear. Train with root guiding tip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use the root joints—waist, hips, shoulders—to guide the tip. When wielding the spear, tip and root exchange roles, like a python coiling around the body, swift and adaptive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When training, move slowly and fully; your body acts like an air pump, fully charged, expanding and contracting like a tube. Spear techniques twist, coil, drill, and flip—your body follows the spear, the spear follows your movement…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng’s loud voice echoed throughout the martial arts classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi swung his spear while listening, a quiet understanding forming in his mind—his spear technique now flowed more smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stage One spear technique is basic—it’s all about mastery. Is it profound? Not really. Just practice more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Practice enough, and your spear realm will naturally rise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng finished speaking and turned to Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words had clearly been meant for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu-shu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi continued practicing Crushing Mountain Spear Art—Zhang Cheng’s thoughts aligned perfectly with his own: just practice more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each repetition raised his mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Through instruction from teacher ‘Zhang Cheng,’ your understanding of spear technique has deepened; Spear Technique +1%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spear Technique: Rank 1, 70% → 71%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lei, waving his spear in the distance, looked displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does Mr. Zhang always coach Lin Qi?
