Chapter 60

A few minutes later

A128 Martial Arts Room

"So, you two have already signed with the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion?"

"That's great, I'm also preparing to sign with the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion." Guo Heng revealed a smile after hearing this.

"By the way, what contract did you sign? C-level?"

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao looked at each other.

Jiang Tao couldn't help but speak first:

"A-Heng, we both signed B-level contracts!"

"And Lin Lin Qi Ge was personally received by the deputy director, Director Sun, and signed a B-level contract."

"B... B-level?"

Guo Heng stood up from his chair with a swish, his expression unwilling to believe it.

"You both have B-level contracts, doesn't that make you the same as me?"

"I wanted to sign an A-level contract, but Director Sun didn't agree and was only willing to give a B-level!"

Guo Heng couldn't hold it together, feeling like he had suffered ten thousand points of critical damage in his heart.

How much time had passed, and Lin Qi and Jiang Tao had already caught up and were at the same level as him?

Although he had a premonition that Lin Qi and Jiang Tao had potential, how much time had passed before they were at the same level?

This was too fast, right?

The contract one can sign represents one's status.

A B-level genius has a higher status than a C-level genius and has a sense of superiority.

An A-level genius is currently the most top-tier genius, which is also what he wanted.

Unfortunately, he was only the fifth-ranked student in Tianhai No. 1 Middle School and 13th in the city ranking; he didn't even make the top ten.

Although he also received personal reception from the deputy director, the other party did so for the sake of his sister.

And what did Lin Qi have? He came from an ordinary family and had no powerful background.

Guo Heng's mood was quite complicated at this moment.

"Alright, when I first heard this news, I was just as shocked as you; I can only say that the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion truly has an eye for talent and discovered Lin Lin Qi Ge's potential in advance."

Jiang Tao laughed.

"We should go to the Red Realm; if we're late, there won't be any spots left." Lin Qi changed the subject.

He noticed that Guo Heng's mood was a bit off and that he might need to calm down.

The three of them then came to the virtual room, each entered a virtual pod, and logged into the Red Realm.

【Starting Matchmaking】

Lin Qi began matchmaking as usual.

A moment later, his figure disappeared from where he was and appeared in the arena.

His opponent also appeared—a handsome man wearing a silver combat suit and holding a battle saber.

But his nickname made Lin Qi's pupils shrink.

【Nickname: Wind God!】

【3, 2, 1...】

【Competition Start!】

Following the intelligent voice announcement, the other party instantly disappeared from where he was.

And Lin Qi felt unprecedented danger.

The next day, No. 2 Middle School independent martial arts room

Lin Qi, wearing a white martial arts uniform, was dripping with sweat and picked up a functional beverage to drink in large gulps.

A moment later, he picked up his training long spear and continued to wave it; spear shadows appeared in bursts, and he listened to the sound of the spear tip piercing the air.

Lin Qi's mind recalled yesterday's Red Realm arena matchmaking match; he had matched with the arena's Tianhai No. 1, Wind God.

It was said to be the No. 1 student of No. 1 Middle School—Wang Qiufeng.

"As expected of someone who dares to call himself Wind God, his strength is indeed powerful."

Lin Qi could clearly feel the other party's power; his saber technique realm was exceptionally high, and he was killed in seconds without even holding out for three moves.

The other party's saber technique was fierce, like flowing clouds and water, and he also possessed whirlwind-like speed.

He couldn't find any flaws; he only saw a flash of saber light and then he was dead.

He could be certain that the grade No. 1, Li Zhou, was also no match for Wang Qiufeng; their strength was a grade apart.

This was also his first time facing a master of such a level; this was the top-tier level of Cang Province.

Even if placed in the entire Xia Guo, it was ranked.

"My spear art hasn't broken through to Stage Two yet, and the gap with the top-tier geniuses is still large; my next goal is to break through to Stage Two spear art."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi continued to practice the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Art."

Half an hour later, inside the martial arts classroom

Zhang Cheng walked to the middle of the classroom, looked around, and saw a few figures rarely seen, including Qiu Jie. He revealed a smile and spoke loudly:

"The martial arts exchange competition has ended; I presume all students have witnessed the level of top-tier masters. If you don't want the gap to widen further,"

"Then train with your lives."

"There is less than a week left until the Cang Province midterm assessment."

"This midterm assessment is a test of your results for the half-semester, and your grades will be re-ranked."

As Zhang Cheng said this, the atmosphere in the class became oppressive again, and many people began to feel nervous.

This was not a martial arts exchange competition, but a midterm assessment that concerned every one of them.

"This midterm assessment will include all martial arts students in the entire Cang Province to conduct a ranking."

"Everyone's ranking will undergo huge changes; perhaps you can rank in the top 50 in Tianhai City, but in Cang Province, you might not even make the top 500."

Once Zhang Cheng said this, the class fell silent.

Many people's heartbeats accelerated, their palms sweated, and at the same time, some were curious about their province-wide ranking.

!

Lin Qi was exactly like this; for this midterm assessment, he had a premonition that his ranking would increase significantly.

But as for what specific rank it would increase to, it depended on this week.

Noon, No. 2 Middle School cafeteria.

"Buzz buzz~"

Lin Qi, who was eating, felt his phone vibrate; he took it out and saw two transfer text messages.

【Your Industrial Bank card ending in xxx received 280,000 Xia Guo currency on November 2nd at 11:56, balance: 705,300】

【Your Industrial Bank card ending in xxx received 3,000,000 Xia Guo currency on November 2nd at 11:56, balance: 3,705,300】

Lin Qi felt his mood improve upon seeing this, especially after seeing the balance of 3.7 million Xia Guo currency; this was the most money he had ever seen.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, the money has arrived; 3.28 million arrived in one go, that's too much money."

"Now, until the college entrance exam ends, I won't be short of money, and it's enough to lay a foundation for A-Miao."

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, our lives have completely changed."

Jiang Tao, sitting opposite, could no longer suppress the joy in his heart.

"By the way, there are also resources; I estimate they will arrive in the next two days."

Lin Qi also revealed a smile; yes, with a large sum of money, they were also wealthy people.

There were no more family-related troubles.

He immediately operated his phone to transfer 2 million to his mother to pay off the loans and the debt to his uncle's family, so that his father could return quickly.

With his father's body, staying in the Linyi base for one more day was a huge burden on his health.

The money he transferred was enough to pay off all the online loans at home, and the same went for the debt to his uncle's family.

Although the balance was reduced by more than half, his mood was truly joyful; there were finally no debts at home.

He felt completely relaxed.

On the other side

Fang Huiyi, who received the transfer at home, had red eyes; it was as if a ten-thousand-ton boulder had been lifted from her body, and she felt completely relaxed and could finally breathe.

Fang Huiyi continued to send a message to Lin Zhen, while thinking:

"Xiao Qi is indeed not an ordinary person."

"Since he was a child, he was the smartest kid; these past few years, he was just hibernating and settling, and now he has finally shown his brilliance."

Evening, dinner time, No. 2 Middle School entrance

"Student Lin Qi, your delivery, please sign for it!"

In front of Lin Qi, a burly man wearing a black-red suit, wearing a black hat and mask, could not be seen clearly.

He held a half-meter-long black metal box in his arms, with a black screen on top.

Lin Qi stretched out his palm and pressed it on the screen; the next second, the screen lit up, a palm print appeared, and then it emitted a green light.

"Verification passed, signing completed!"

The burly man turned around, walked toward the giant red-white transport vehicle, and slowly left.

And Lin Qi turned around and returned to school holding the metal box.

He quickly returned to his martial arts room and looked at the black metal box.

"What's inside is the resources provided by the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion."

Lin Qi pressed the button on the screen.

"Click!"

The metal box opened automatically from the top, revealing the items inside.
