Chapter 172: Gaining Another Space Ring

"Space Ring?"

Lu Jing's eyes lit up.

This is a great thing; speaking of value, it's far more valuable than thirty million.

Putting a Space Ring up for auction, it's impossible to win it without several billion.

Moreover, I still have one Space Ring; later I can synthesize it to see if I can create a higher‑level ring.

Lu Jing has always had an idea: if Space Rings keep being synthesized, could we create a small world?

That is, a world capable of sustaining living beings.

With a synthesis slot, it's not that there's no possibility......

After handing over the ring, Zhong Lao turned to Lu Jing, smiling and asked: "I don't know which martial university you plan to apply to; with your talent and strength, any martial university in the country would fight to recruit you."

"For now I haven't decided which one, but I'll probably choose the martial university in the capital."

Lu Jing thought for a moment and then said.

After all, the top‑ranked martial universities nationwide are all in the capital.

"Mm, the martial universities in the capital are all top‑tier; your choice is correct. Here, this is for you."

Zhong Lao said, then took out a red little booklet from the box.

Lu Jing immediately recognized it as a property deed.

"I have a vacant villa in the central part of the capital; I'm giving it to you, Young Lu Jing. Although it's not large, the facilities are complete, and the location is excellent. If you don't want to stay on campus, you can live there."

Giving someone a house, Lu Jing naturally knew what that meant.

This shows Zhong Lao really wants to tie him to the capital.

Xu Xingwu, standing at the door, watched Lu Jing accept the property deed with a smile; his expression was very complicated.

He, the president of the Anwu City Martial Arts Association, could only watch helplessly as such a great talent like Lu Jing was poached away.

Not long ago, the scene of him trying to win over Lu Jing was still vivid in his mind, and how similar it is to now.

But now he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter, and can only watch from afar outside.

"This is my business card; it has my contact information. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me anytime."

Zhong Lao took out a black‑gold business card and placed it on the table.

"Thank you, Elder Zhong."

Lu Jing accepted the card; refusing such a big shot's goodwill is undoubtedly a foolish act.

Seeing Lu Jing take the card, Zhong Lao's smile grew even richer.

"All right, everything's done; this old man won't bother you any further."

Zhong Lao stood up and said goodbye to Lu Jing's family.

"Not at all, take your time!"

Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru also hurriedly rose to see the guest off.

After Zhong Lao left, Xu Xingwu finally had a chance to come in; besides bringing gifts, he also brought Lu Jing's Three‑Realm Talent Endowed badge and the latest Martial Artist rank badge.

Seeing the three characters "Talent Endowed" on the badge, the couple looked at Lu Jing as if he were a monster.

Three‑Realm Talent Endowed?

Our son is actually a talented martial artist?

The two of them don't understand martial artist cultivation; they only know Lu Jing is very strong, but they couldn't imagine he was a Talent Endowed.

In their eyes, a Talent Endowed is an extremely distant existence, only seen on TV.

By comparison, Lu Leyi wasn't that surprised.

She's not like Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru, who watch livestreams just for the excitement.

Lu Jing's Sword Blade Storm alone let her confirm his Talent Endowed identity.

But since Lu Jing didn't voluntarily confess to the family, Lu Leyi also didn't tell their parents about this.

So Lu Jing hasn't told his family that he's a Talent Endowed?

Xu Xingwu felt a bit embarrassed, knowing he'd done something wrong, and hurriedly rose to take his leave.

"Little Jing, how could you keep the fact that you're a Talent Endowed hidden from us for so long?"

Lu Haitao asked, his face full of excitement.

"Mom, Dad, actually my talent hasn't been awakened long, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry......"

"All right, if the child hasn't spoken, he surely has his own plans; just don't ask."

Feng Qinru smoothed things over, saying, "Now our family is famous in the neighborhood again; coming up, we probably have something to do."

Sure enough, after those big shots left, the doorbell at Lu Jing's house never stopped ringing.

Wave after wave of people came to visit, each bearing gifts.

Those who can live in this community are either rich or noble, and the gifts they bring are not cheap.

Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru also felt embarrassed to turn people away, so they could only cheerfully send off batch after batch.

It wasn't until eleven at night that things finally quieted down.

"Mom, Dad, there are still two people at the door; why aren't you seeing them?"

Lu Jing spread out his mental power and discovered that the couple next door were standing outside holding gifts, both looking listless and dejected.

"Who is it?"

Lu Leyi jumped down from the sofa, walked to the door, and peered outside through the peephole.

"It's that old woman!"

Lu Leyi gave a cold snort and complained to Lu Jing, "Brother, that woman is terrible; she almost drove into Mom just now, and didn't even say sorry."

"There's more?"

Lu Jing furrowed his brows; this woman is really over the top.

"Yeah, she even smashed Dad's newly bought car," Lu Leyi said resentfully: "She did it on purpose; I don't know why she bears such hostility toward our family."

Then Lu Leyi explained the whole story from start to finish.

Then let them stand outside.

After the Lu family finished their chores, they happily gathered to eat.

Son, you should have a few drinks with Dad today!

Lu Haitao raised the wine bottle and poured a glass for Lu Jing.

Feng Qinru watched the excited Lu Haitao, and this time she did not stop him.

Dad, I want to drink too!

Lu Leyi picked up a wine glass and moved to Lu Haitao's side.

What are you drinking at your age? Your brother is already an adult.

Lu Haitao said irritably.

When they were full of food and drink and the family was preparing to go upstairs to sleep, a knocking sounded at the door.

Lu Jing extended his mental sense and found it was the neighbor woman knocking on the door.

Who is it, so late?

Feng Qinru hurriedly went outside.

Mom, I'll handle it.

Lu Jing stopped Feng Qinru, stepped forward and opened the door.

The couple outside saw Lu Jing come out, and their previously dim eyes instantly gained a glint.

He Xiaoli hastily handed over the gift in her hands, wearing an eager smile: "Congratulations, Martial Top Scholar, I am your neighbor, between us......"

Oh, you came to give a gift, right?

Lu Jing took the gift expressionlessly, held it in his hand and examined it.

Yes, yes, my wife may have had some minor disagreements with your family before, actually......

Seeing Lu Jing accept the gift, Ye Yimin thought he had already accepted them, and his face instantly broke into a smile.

But Lu Jing directly interrupted him, smashing the gift in his hand heavily onto He Xiaoli's face.

When my parents went to your house to visit you earlier, you threw the gift like that, didn't you?
