Chapter 214 - 106: Holy Crap! Third Grade?

Chapter 214: Chapter 106: Holy Crap! Third Grade?

They had originally been quite critical of Lin Yi for sleeping his days away in the dorm, thinking he was wasting his talent.

Now, this student they had written off as a slacker had given them an unprecedented, massive surprise!

Clearing Tier Eight in ten days!

The news was like a bombshell, leaving them all in disbelief.

"Hello, Instructors!" Lin Yi stopped and respectfully saluted the two men.

Zhao Jun’s sharp gaze was practically tangible as he instantly scanned Lin Yi from head to toe. Under his powerful perception, the surging fluctuations of Qi and Blood within Lin Yi’s body had nowhere to hide.

A glint flashed in Zhao Jun’s eyes as he said in a low voice, "You’ve broken through to Third Grade? Your Qi and Blood are stable, and your foundation is solid. Very good!"

Lin Yi nodded calmly. "Yes, Instructor. I spent the last ten days in seclusion precisely to break through to Third Grade. I was fortunate enough to succeed."

Hearing this, Zhao Jun was even more shaken internally.

Ten days. From the low stage of Second Grade to a stable Third Grade!

’That speed...’

He remained expressionless, merely giving a slight nod, but the shock deep in his eyes couldn’t escape the notice of the more observant people around him.

However, Zhao Jun’s words—"You’ve broken through to Third Grade?"—were like tossing water onto a grease fire!

"Third Grade?!!!"

"Lin Yi... he broke through to Third Grade?!"

"My god! He’s only a high school senior!!"

"HISS! No wonder! No wonder he could pass Tier Eight! So he’s already a Third-Grade Martial Artist!"

"In the history of Nanjiang Province, has there ever been a Third-Grade high school senior? No! Absolutely not! He’s the first!"

"There are still three months until the college entrance exams! Third Grade! Oh my god, doesn’t this mean this year’s national top scorer is going to come from our Nanjiang Province?!"

"A monster! An absolute monster! The top scorer title is in the bag!"

The entire corridor erupted!

Cries of alarm, sharp gasps, and disbelieving chatter were deafening!

The gazes of all the students on Lin Yi had upgraded from shock and envy to outright reverence!

Third Grade!

At his age! This was beyond the scope of a genius; he was a true monster-level existence!

Nanjiang Province was about to produce a national top scorer who would shake the entire country!

This news swept through everyone’s mind like a hurricane.

Zhao Jun looked at the young man who had caused such a sensation, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and maintained his instructor’s dignity. He said to Lin Yi in a solemn voice:

"Mm. Don’t get arrogant or impatient. Third Grade is just the beginning; the road ahead is still long. On the path of the Martial Dao, you either advance or fall behind. Remember not to grow complacent."

Lin Yi straightened his back, his gaze firm:

"Yes, Instructor! I understand. I will redouble my efforts in cultivation and will never slack off!"

"Very good." Zhao Jun nodded again.

The purpose of his trip was accomplished; he had confirmed Lin Yi’s strength and condition.

He said no more. His gaze shifted to the many students in the corridor who were still lost in their shock. His expression hardened, and he barked:

"What are you all crowding around for? Is gawking going to earn you points? The final results for the placement assessment are due in less than three hours! Why aren’t you using this time for a final sprint? You all want to end up at the bottom?!"

This shout was infused with Qi and Blood Power.

It was like a clap of thunder exploding next to their ears.

It instantly jolted the students out of their gossip and shock.

"Ah! My assessment!"

"Let’s go, let’s go! There’s not much time left!"

"Quick, let’s go try again!"

The students snapped out of it as if waking from a dream. Panic showed on their faces. No longer caring about spectating Lin Yi, they scattered like birds and beasts, sprinting toward the various combat rooms and training grounds, terrified of missing this final chance to improve their rankings.

Zhao Jun and Liu Haimo gave Lin Yi one last, deep look before turning and striding away.

...

Since the combat room test was over, and he was currently no match for the mechanical puppets of Tier Nine, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.

He was just about to leave the area.

"Forest God! Forest God, please wait!"

"Forest God, are you still selling points? I’m begging you!"

"Forest God! I’ve scraped the money together! Fifty thousand for one point, cash or transfer? I’m ready anytime!"

"Forest God, I’ll pay fifty-two thousand! Sell some to me!"

Just as Lin Yi took a step.

A group of students who hadn’t left yet swarmed around him with a WHOOSH, all talking at once, their voices filled with urgency and desire.

Their eyes burned with intensity, as if Lin Yi was radiating a tempting golden light.

These students all remembered clearly that when Lin Yi first entered the training camp, he had sold a large number of points at the sky-high price of fifty thousand per point!

Now Lin Yi had set an earth-shattering record in the combat room.

His points must have skyrocketed.

Who wouldn’t want to get their hands on some more from him?

"Sell points?"

Lin Yi paused, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He had just cleared Tier Eight of the combat room.

The ten thousand points rewarded by the training camp had already been deposited.

If he sold them at fifty thousand per point... that would be a full five hundred million!

A huge sum of money, enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for several lifetimes!

’The thought flashed through his mind, and he decisively extinguished it.’

He shook his head slightly, his tone calm but with an unquestionable firmness:

"Sorry, I’m not selling points anymore."

He really didn’t need to rely on selling points to sustain his cultivation anymore.

He only had thirteen more bones in his lower limbs to refine before he would complete the process and reach the Perfection stage of Third Grade.

From now on, the essence of Qi and Blood absorbed by his Mosquito Avatar while grinding in the depths of the Taihang Mountain Range would be enough to support his steady progress.

As for the issue of money?

’When I get back to Yang City, I’ll just borrow from a bank!’

With his current potential and strength, the banks would be falling over themselves to give him a loan.

More importantly.

He had other uses for these points.

He had to save them to buy some powerful combat techniques and improve his practical combat abilities. That was the most pressing matter at hand!
