Chapter 338 The Heretical Path: The Wealthy Martial Artist, Making Money Without Morality
The Starry Sky Ladder Ranking Tournament is a method created by a new federation specifically to cultivate and select outstanding Star Envoys.

Since the focus is on training and selection, it means that this so-called ranking competition is not simply a contest of 'strength'.

Potential is also a core criterion for evaluating a contestant.

As for how to measure the potential of the participants, there are many procedures in the Starry Sky Ladder ranking competition.

Earning seven martial arts badges before the age of 25 is the most basic and simplest assessment.

But this one criterion alone is enough to eliminate 99% of Star Envoys with average talent.

In addition to these, the Starry Sky Ladder Ranking Tournament has other metrics.

Based on their different potential, the participants were divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, and were given different 'cultivation resources', namely 'Heavenly Martial Coins'.

However, this potential level is not static.

Because some people will suddenly have an "epiphany" or unleash their potential rapidly after accumulating knowledge and experience.

This has happened before in previous Starry Sky Ladder ranking matches.

In order to maximize the potential of the participants and enhance their sense of belonging to the association.

The Star Envoy Association also arranges so-called 'special mentors' during the ranking competition.

At the same time, a special mentor at the Yellow level can receive a substantial reward if they can train a student with Yellow level potential to reach the Heaven level.

That's what Tiandao wants to discuss with Ghosn right now.

He could artificially help Ghosn cultivate 'Heavenly-level students,' provided that Heavenly Dao wanted a share of the profits.

However, earning extra profits is only the surface.

The true purpose of Heaven's Way is actually to find a reason to 'steal the spotlight'.

After all, according to the 'shonen anime law', the protagonist of a shonen anime often suffers from being looked down upon for various reasons, even if he has great talent, and thus needs to climb up from the bottom step by step.

Therefore, even though Chen Kong was the 'Child of the Stars', he was still classified as a 'mediocre potential' Yellow-level class.

And the special tutor for that class was none other than Ghosn, standing right in front of them.

The "bottom of the pack" trope may be old-fashioned, but it's a really effective strategy.

It's worth noting that the title of the third season of the anime series *Starshine* is *Starshine*.

And only those 'stars' that go unnoticed suddenly burst forth with dazzling 'brilliance'.

Such brilliance is more eye-catching and more dramatic.

Therefore, there are quite a few special people in the Yellow-level class that Chen Kong is in this time.

For example, the 'Star Beast Intelligence Species' which only appeared briefly in the second season.

This is also known as the 'Hidden Star Society'.

In Chen Kong's class, there was such an intelligent species, and a very special one at that, with amazing potential.

This can be seen as a prelude to the fourth season of Stars.

Although the Heavenly Dao is not yet clear about the complete plot of the fourth season.

However, after reading the original plot of the third season and the few hints at the end of the third season, one can understand the story.

Tiandao already had a clear idea of ​​where the plot of the fourth season would go.

If he wasn't mistaken, the fragile balance that had been maintained between the Star Envoys and the Star Beasts for nearly a century was about to be broken.

Although the Heavenly Dao had no intention of being a savior, it also had no liking for those star beasts who only knew how to destroy.

There is no doubt that the reason why the Stellar Production Team placed that special 'Star Beast Intelligent Species' in Chen Kong's class was because of this.

It was undoubtedly used as a hook.

This gives Dust Sky a good reason to intervene in the 'fierce' battle of the fourth season.

If the Stellaris team can plant hooks, then so can Tiandao.

After all, he desperately needs a 'reason' to intervene in Chen Kong's class affairs.

The deal with Ghosn was a 'hook' planted by the Heavenly Dao, and a 'reason' for intervening.

In this way, it is not only reasonable for Tiandao to steal the spotlight afterward, but also, as the mystery is revealed, Tiandao can create the feeling that he already knew everything.

To further reinforce his "born strongman" persona.

Tianwu Coins are just a gimmick; what Tiandao really wants is attention and popularity.

Because the latter is what he values ​​most as 'wealth' and 'potential'.

However, Ghosn was unaware of these true thoughts of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, he is weighing the feasibility of this deal with Heavenly Dao.

After a brief moment of thought, he realized that this matter was entirely beneficial to him, and decisively looked up and asked, "How confident are you?" In response to Ghosn's question, Tiandao smiled and said, "I never do things I'm not confident about."

"Too."

Ghosn smiled, realizing he had spoken out of turn.

At this point, he and the Heavenly Dao reached a tacit understanding that needed no words.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Tiandao suddenly changed the subject.

"Come on, I'll take you to see a good show."

"A good show?"

Ghosn looked puzzled, not quite understanding what the "good show" Tiandao was talking about was.

In response, Tiandao mysteriously said, "Come with me and you'll find out."

After saying that, Tiandao stood up and walked towards a martial arts arena inside the Fuwu Tower.

Although Ghosn was puzzled, he still followed.

The show that Tiandao wanted to see was the martial arts badge challenge that Chen Kong and the others were undertaking.

As the 'protagonist' of the stars, one of Dust Sky's major characteristics is that he can cause all things that should proceed normally to go awry.

For example, the Fuwu Badge, which could originally be obtained by spending money, has now become a variable in Chen Kong's case.

Because he encountered a rare 'evil martial artist'.

Taking money to do things is the 'righteous path of the wealthy warrior'.

Taking money without doing anything, or demanding more money halfway through the process, falls under the category of "evil path, rich warrior".

Chen Kong was very unlucky. Today, he not only encountered a wicked martial artist, but also a wicked martial artist who was very unhappy with the group of children of the stars.

[Tower of Tomibu, a private meeting room]

"Want to get the Fuwu Badge? 10 won't be enough."

"What?"

Chen Kong was stunned as he looked at the tower defender sitting opposite him, discussing the details of the trade with him alone.

"Didn't they say that if you recharge 10, you can get the badge directly?"

That's the price for 'regular students'.

The tower guard smiled, revealing a gold tooth.

"You're a child of the stars, right? The assessment for children of the stars requires extra money."

"How about this, you add another 20 and I'll give you the badge, otherwise you can fight me yourself, and if you win, you can have it too."

"But I must warn you, if you choose the latter, I won't go easy on you. After all, I don't have any good feelings towards you guys, and I won't show any mercy."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Kong fell completely silent.

He felt his luck was a bit bad this time, as it seemed he had encountered a tower guardian who had a grudge against the other Star Children.

It's as if the other party doesn't even want to make money; they just want to beat themselves up.

No, there are so many guardians of the Tower of Wealth and Martial Arts, why am I the only one with such bad luck?

Meanwhile, Liu Ma and Vivian, who were communicating with the other tower guards, were unaware of the situation at Chen Kong's location and began their perfunctory assessment.
At the same time, seeing the tower defender with the gold teeth who was demanding money on the screen, the comments section immediately started scrolling.

'Pricing gouging? These people at Fuwu Tower are really rife with dishonesty.'

'It doesn't feel that simple. It seems this guy is making things difficult for the prison ward, and it's not just about greed.'

'Why does trouble always seem to arise wherever he goes? Is he just a walking problem?'

How did Laotian know that Laokong had encountered another low-probability event? Was it futuristic vision again?

As the comments scrolled by, Chen Kong in the video also made a decision.

"I choose the latter."

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, the Gold Tooth Tower Guardian revealed a meaningful expression.

"Then you really made a bad choice."

After saying that, the Gold Tooth Tower Guardian stood up and walked towards the training ground behind him.

"Come on, you brat from the stars, let me see what you've got."
