Chapter 470

King Shanhe waved his broad arms and said:

"Come and sit!"

Lin Qi nodded and walked in obediently, sitting down on the brown sofa opposite King Shanhe.

To his left and right were Master Master Mu Hong, Xu Wenji, and Liu Yuanzhang.

Liu Yuanzhang was in charge of brewing tea; steam rose in the air, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

The burly and tall King Shanhe looked at Lin Qi and spoke slowly:

"Lin Qi, I have looked through your records; your father lost an arm when you were young."

"Your mother was poisoned by a Blood-Winged Bat and has been physically weak since childhood."

"Although you yourself have a strong talent for learning, your martial arts talent was ordinary, and your family could not provide resources."

"This resulted in you only being at an upper-middle level at the Second Middle School, and even your application for a genius loan was rejected."

"But in the first semester of your third year of high school, everything changed; you emerged suddenly, unexpectedly displaying extremely strong martial arts talent and comprehension."

"Your martial arts realm advanced by leaps and bounds, constantly surpassing one genius after another, and your genius rank was constantly updated."

"In just two years, you became the champion of the Global Martial Arts Tournament, and last year you awakened the special ability 【Golden Edge】."

"And in the Global Martial Arts Tournament a few days ago, you awakened a second special ability 【Golden Light】, defeated Ivan Petrov, and won the championship."

"Your experience can be said to be very legendary."

Lin Qi nodded; his information could be checked, and there were traces to follow.

Now, hearing King Shanhe recount it, he realized he had experienced so many things without even noticing.

King Shanhe nodded: "Examples like you have appeared in our Xia Guo before."

"For instance, the Blade Emperor; he was unremarkable before the age of 18, then suddenly awakened at 18, improving as if riding a rocket, and eventually became a Ninth Realm martial artist."

"Some geniuses awaken suddenly at 17 or 18; the awakening here is not the awakening of a special ability, but a kind of bloodline awakening."

"Not only does their talent improve, but their comprehension also increases significantly."

"And special abilities will also awaken within a period of time."

"It can be considered a kind of latent awakening!"

"The Blade Emperor is the most famous, and some Seventh and Eighth Realm martial artists also have similar situations."

"Soon, you will become the second example."

Lin Qi nodded; he hadn't expected there to be examples similar to him.

King Shanhe sipped his tea and said:

"At the Global Martial Arts Tournament, you proved your talent."

"Now I can clearly notify you, Student Lin Qi, that after the investigation by the Red Vault Martial Arts Hall,"

"we believe you have the potential of an SSS-rank genius."

"Your contract is officially upgraded from SS-rank to SSS-rank."

After King Shanhe finished speaking, Vice Dean Xu Wenji projected a screen, and there were also paper documents.

King Shanhe sighed with emotion:

"Since the world began dividing geniuses into seven ranks 35 years ago,"

"our Red Vault Martial Arts Hall has signed a total of 23 SSS-rank geniuses."

"And you will become the 24th SSS-rank genius."

Lin Qi was secretly shocked; he felt that there were quite a few SSS-rank geniuses, almost one every year or two, and most of them signed with the Red Vault Martial Arts Hall.

So it seemed that SSS-rank geniuses were not few; perhaps the three major martial arts halls combined had only about 30-plus.

Less than half the number of SS-rank geniuses.

King Shanhe continued:

"Previously, the signing of SSS-rank geniuses all had a one-year observation period."

"But this regulation is invalid for you, who have awakened two special abilities."

"For so many years, our Xia Guo has only had 10 SSS-rank geniuses who have awakened two special abilities, including you, Lin Qi."

"Among them, two have already broken through to the Ninth Realm and become titled martial artists."

"Three are at the Eighth Realm, and four are at the Seventh Realm; adding you at the Sixth Realm makes 5 people."

"And the one closest to you is Xu Qin, a fourth-year student who has already broken through to the Seventh Realm."

Lin Qi was secretly shocked after hearing this; it turned out there were quite a few geniuses who had awakened two special abilities.

Sure enough, until you reach a certain level, you don't know how many geniuses there are. Geniuses also have gaps; those who have awakened two special abilities are the most top-tier among SSS-rank geniuses.

And now, he was one of them.

Then, Vice Dean Xu Wenji stood up, took out a paper contract, and also projected an electronic contract.

King Shanhe continued:

"Compared to the SS-rank contract,"

"the SSS-rank contract has undergone a brand-new upgrade, plus the reforms from a few months ago."

"As long as you sign the SSS-rank contract, you will receive 200 million Xia Guo coins every year!"

"And it will last for five years; it is already the third year now. Subtracting the 100 million from the SS-rank contract,"

"you still have 100 million Xia Guo coins per year; three years means 300 million, so you will directly receive 300 million Xia Guo coins!"

Lin Qi was shocked inwardly; this was not a small amount of money.

300 million Xia Guo coins could buy a massive amount of cultivation resources.

!

In the future, he still had two years, and he could receive another 400 million Xia Guo coins.

King Shanhe remained calm and continued:

"Since you are at the Vault of Heaven Martial University, there is also a monthly subsidy, which is 50 million per month."

"Counting from July when you entered university, 12 months a year, there are two months until July, making it 22 months."

"Subtracting your subsidy as an SS-rank genius, that is 440 million Xia Guo coins."

"A total of 740 million Xia Guo coins!"

Lin Qi gasped after hearing this; so much money?

Xue Zhou, sitting beside him, smiled:

"Lin Qi, this is a super huge sum of money; many Eighth Realm martial artists probably don't have your net worth."

"You have already surpassed many people."

Master Master Mu Hong and Liu Yuanzhang beside him also revealed looks of envy; they were both from ordinary families and were not top-tier geniuses.

Where had they ever seen so much money? Master Master Mu Hong had helped Lin Qi get the liquid alloy spearhead, which had already cost a significant price.

As a teacher, he wasn't necessarily richer than Lin Qi now.

Master Master Mu Hong was in a rising period and still wanted to continue breaking through, so his expenses were huge, and he could only earn money by hunting disaster beasts.

While Lin Qi's funds were all provided by the martial arts hall and the school.

He couldn't help but sigh that the martial arts hall and the school truly spared no effort in cultivating geniuses.

Looking at the contract, he didn't hesitate at all and signed his name on the last page.

He also left his fingerprint, and did it again on the electronic contract.

King Shanhe nodded after seeing Lin Qi sign.

He stood up, reached out his hand, and said:

"Lin Qi, congratulations on becoming the 24th SSS-rank genius of our Red Vault Martial Arts Hall."

Lin Qi also reached out his hand; King Shanhe's palm was broad and powerful, and it seemed the other party could crush his palm into powder with a single squeeze.

King Shanhe patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and said:

"Lin Qi, becoming an SSS-rank genius, besides enjoying a 50% discount on shopping, medical insurance, etc., there are also some hidden benefits that do not appear in the contract."

"Once you break through to the Seventh Realm and become a high-level martial artist, you will know."

"The situation is becoming increasingly bad, and we need geniuses like you to grow up."

"When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up."

"You need to grow up to become the new tall one."

Lin Qi nodded; the expectations everyone had for him had already risen from an ordinary Ninth Realm martial artist to a top-tier Ninth Realm martial artist.

After King Shanhe sat down, he continued:

"According to the rules established by the three major martial arts halls, as long as a new SSS-rank genius appears,"

"they will apprentice under a Ninth Realm martial artist."
