Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

"Hurry up and count them, I'm in a rush!"

Qin Su slapped the spatial ring onto the two teachers in charge of the team.

"Using a spatial ring to store the source beast's crystal cores? No, it's just a few dozen crystal cores, a few dozen ranking points. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

"Even if it's just to change your status, does it have to be this extravagant? A spatial ring! How many crystal cores would that hold? How many ranking points would that be?"

"A mid-level general, and he's acting all high and mighty. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the Butcher. Is this guy trying to be funny?"

"........."

All the students were amused by Qin Su's actions.

The two teachers leading the group shook their heads repeatedly, looking at Qin Su with pity. Arrogant people are often insecure. Similarly, the fact that Qin Su could take out a spatial ring to show off only shows that he really has no ability and can only save face by bluffing.

but...........

Bluster doesn't mean you actually have the ability to obtain a whole space ring full of crystal cores!

What would you do if your lie was exposed in public?

The two teachers leading the group sneered, having no interest in saving face for Qin Su. With cold expressions, they raised their hands and opened their spatial rings.

Then, in an instant.

"boom--!"

Countless crystal cores suddenly erupted from the spatial ring!

What were originally individual crystal nuclei, when ejected, were like a fountain, continuous and dense, shooting up more than ten meters high before crashing to the ground.

It quickly piled up into a small mountain!

This scene caused the mocking expressions on everyone's faces to freeze instantly, and the two teachers in charge were even more dumbfounded, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Even as they were dumbfounded, the crystal cores in the spatial ring continued to spew out continuously.

It's like there's no end in sight!

Even by visual estimation alone, the number of these crystal nuclei is already staggering!

"Ning Qiushui, you have earned a total of two...two million one hundred thousand ranking points!" The two teachers in charge of the team carefully calculated the ranking points, and their expressions were frozen.

His gaze toward Qin Su was also filled with blankness.

Ranking points: 2.1 million! My God, did this young man slaughter the entire No. 103 restricted area?

Where exactly did Ning Qiushui find these trial helpers?

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated, too perverted...?

All the students were shocked at this moment, and soon they all glared angrily at Qin Su.

Butcher!

Qin Su's identity is already obvious. Although he didn't say it outright, his ranking points of over two million speak for themselves.

Qin Su is the butcher, the cheating dog who crushes them so much they can't even lift their heads!

"Teacher, I want to report this!"

"Teacher, I want to report this too!"

"We all want to report Ning Qiushui for unfair competition, for using unknown means to allow a helper whose strength far exceeds that of a martial general to illegally enter restricted area number 103! This has greatly affected the fair and just trial environment and has had an immeasurable impact on our results!"

The trainees started making accusations all at once, and the crowd was indignant.

The reason they didn't leave after the ranking points were settled was to catch the butcher and vent their anger.

Upon hearing this, the two teachers in charge of the group also became serious and looked at Ning Qiushui: "Ning Qiushui, did you cheat?"

"She didn't."

Qin Su spoke calmly, glancing at the group of students with a half-smile, especially at Gao Feng, who was shouting the loudest. The cold smile on her lips was so cold it seemed like ice shards were about to fall.

The two teachers leading the group frowned and asked, "If there was no cheating, how can you prove it?"

Qin Su raised his hand and pointed a finger. The next moment, the sixth-order lightning pierce was like a sword beam that shone across nineteen provinces, directly hitting the two of them.

The lightning bolt stopped abruptly when it was only a millimeter away from their eyes.

The intense sharpness almost immediately caused the two teachers in charge to stumble backward, their eyes welling up with tears as they tried to alleviate the intense stimulation.

In that instant, the intense life-or-death crisis caused the expressions of the two teachers in charge to change drastically. They could sense that if Qin Su hadn't stopped, they might not have even had time to react and would have been blinded on the spot!

Their hearts were also filled with turmoil.

Spiritual Master!

The young man before me was actually a mentalist!

Moreover, his mental power was far stronger than his martial arts cultivation. Both of them were at the Martial Marquis level, but when facing his mental weapon, they felt suppressed and unable to breathe!

"We believe you didn't cheat. With your skill level, you don't need to cheat."

The two teachers leading the group looked at Qin Su with a completely different expression – no longer with disdain, but with utmost respect.

The students watching were shocked to see their teacher back down so quickly, their expressions changing constantly.

"Now that I have proven my strength and that Ning Qiushui has won this trial fair and square, if anyone at Xinghan Academy tries to find excuses to target Ning Qiushui afterward, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Qin Su spoke coldly, glancing at the two teachers in charge and then at Gao Feng, "Some people, if they dare to bully Ning Qiushui, should be prepared to receive my visit."

After saying that, he slowly lit up the identity card that symbolized the first tier.

The students didn't really understand, because they had no idea what the card in Qin Su's hand represented. But the two teachers in charge were completely bewildered.

Puff-!

The two of them knelt down immediately, trembling as they said, "Rest assured, sir, Ning Qiushui will receive the highest level of treatment at Xinghan Academy and will not be bullied in any way..."

This scene left all the trainees dumbfounded once again.

What's going on? Why did their teacher kneel down like that?

Only Ning Qiushui gasped, realizing at that moment just how supreme Qin Su's title of First Order truly was in Xinghan City.

"Well, these two million crystal cores should theoretically be our spoils of war, but considering how well you've treated Qiushui, let's donate them to Xinghan Academy in your name."

Qin Su glanced at the two teachers casually and said indifferently.

A combination of firmness and kindness is necessary to win people's hearts.

Besides, his girlfriend Ning Qiushui was still studying martial arts at Xinghan Academy, so he couldn't afford to offend everyone to death.

Donating in the names of two teachers would not only allow the two teachers to enjoy rewards and gain the appreciation of leaders, but also allow the girlfriend to be valued by the senior management of Xinghan Academy and receive better treatment.

Sure enough, the two teachers' eyes lit up immediately.

Although Xinghan Academy is very wealthy, who would complain about having too much money? These two million fourth-order crystal cores are worth at least hundreds of millions of source crystals.

So much money, just given away like that, is this the extravagance of the first tier?

The ranking of first place in the trial has been finalized.

Ning Qiushui won first place in this trial with over two million ranking points, an undisputed first place!

When this result was reported back to Xinghan Academy, it surprised everyone.

It's important to know that Ning Qiushui was at the bottom of Xinghan Academy. Many teachers felt that she lacked talent, at least in a place like Xinghan City, her talent was too weak.

In fact, she was the only martial arts master in the entire Xinghan Academy, making her even rarer than a giant panda.

Before this trial began, everyone predicted that Gao Feng and others would be the first place winners, because these people were the true prodigies in their eyes.

But after the trial ended, they were shocked to find that Ning Qiushui had won first place.

Moreover, she crushed everyone to take first place, reaching the top with two million ranking points. The second place only had a few hundred ranking points. The combined ranking points of all the participants in the trial were less than a fraction of hers.

This is really outrageous.

Everyone was incredulous until they examined the details closely, after which they fell silent.

It turns out that the one who helped Ning Qiushui win the championship was the top seed from their Xinghan City.

That's alright then.

No matter how talented the students of Xinghan Academy are, they are just a bunch of guys who can't even enter the core area of ​​Xinghan City. And what is the first tier?

First, one must become a Sequence-level martial artist who can overwhelm all the martial artists in the core urban area, and then overwhelm all the Sequence-level martial artists in order to become a first-rank martial artist.

It can be said that having the title of "First Order" means possessing monstrous strength.

And it's something far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Otherwise, why should it be in the first tier?

Once they figured out the key point, everyone suddenly realized that it wasn't so incredible that one person could single-handedly rack up two million ranking points.

Under Qin Su's spotlight, Ning Qiushui, who was ranked first, became less noticeable.

When people saw her again, they treated her with much more respect.

Especially after learning that she was the girlfriend of a top-tier figure, even the most ardent suitors like Zhou Feng kept their distance from her.

This actually saved her a lot of trouble, allowing her to focus more on martial arts.

Upon returning to the academy, the dean of Xinghan Academy, who had not appeared for a long time, personally presented Ning Qiushui with the first-place certificate and a reward.

The rewards were so generous that they left all the students envious and speechless, even dumbfounded. Many senior students, who had been in the academy for so many years, had never seen such a lavish reward.

Afterwards, Xinghan Academy made a high-profile announcement that the old dean, who was usually elusive, had actually returned and decided to take Ning Qiushui as his last disciple, and from then on, he would carefully teach and help Ning Qiushui to succeed.

When this news came out, even some teachers at Xinghan Academy were incredibly envious.

The old dean is said to possess the strength of a Martial Saint. Over the years, he has taken in two disciples, both of whom have now become pillars of the Xia Kingdom.

Now that Ning Qiushui has entered the ranks, she is guaranteed to become a Martial Emperor.

It's foreseeable that before long, the Xia Kingdom will have another powerful figure...

For a time, Ning Qiushui was a household name in the academy, enjoying great prestige.

the other side.

After parting ways with Ning Qiushui, Qin Su rushed to the General Affairs Department of Xinghan City without stopping.

On the way, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[Mission: Trial Observer, observe your girlfriend Ning Qiushui's actions to broaden your horizons! (Completed)]

【Ding! 】

[Task Rating: S-Rank (Exceeded expectations in completing the task and helped his girlfriend Ning Qiushui win first place in the trial, unbelievable. Comment: S-Rank is the limit of the task rating, not the limit of the host's ability.)]

【Ding! 】

[Original reward for the mission: 10 million comeback points. Currently doubling...]

【Ding! 】

[Ten million comeback points have been successfully doubled to one hundred million comeback points.]

【Ding! 】

[Host's achievements have been detected to be too astonishing; rewards are being doubled...]

【Ding! 】

[One billion comeback points have been automatically credited to your personal account. Please check!]

【Ding! 】

[New gains detected for the host. Talent - One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward, effect triggered, currently doubling the one billion comeback points by one hundredfold.............]

【Ding! 】

[The reward of 100 billion has been successfully transferred to the host's personal account. Please check your account.]

【Ding! 】

[The host's current personal account balance is: 100000000000!]

What the hell!

A trillion-dollar comeback opportunity?!

Is this for real?!

Qin Su was completely stunned. This system was giving away comeback points more and more generously each time, even giving away hundreds of billions of comeback points. Wasn't that a bit too extravagant?!

[Host has been detected to have acquired 100 billion Comeback Points. The Talent Forging Machine can be activated. Would you like to spend 10 billion Comeback Points to activate the Talent Forging Machine?]

What the heck is a Talent Forging Machine?

[The Talent Forging Machine uses existing talents as materials and Counterattack Points as consumables to forge entirely new talents. These new talents will be more powerful, more practical, and more overpowered. If the host is not satisfied with the new talent, they can dismantle it to reclaim the original talent. However, the consumed Counterattack Points will not be refunded.]

Qin Su took a deep breath. This talent-forging machine seems pretty powerful...

Should I spend billions of comeback points to unlock the Talent Forging Machine?

It's just a few hundred billion comeback points, just spend them. Anyway, with a hundred billion comeback points in hand, a hundred billion is nothing.

"Determine the cost."

[Successfully spent 10 billion Reversal Points. Host's current balance is 90 billion Reversal Points. Activating the Talent Forging Machine, progress 1%... 10%... 20%...]

[Congratulations, host! The Talent Forging Machine has been successfully activated!]

【Ding! 】

[The host's current talents include (Special Talent - Automatic Mastery), (Special Talent - Becoming Stronger with Every Breath), (Special Talent - One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward), (Talent - Listener of Heartfelt Words), (Special Talent - Gluttony), (Talent - Gale)... Would you like to proceed with talent forging?]

"Yes."

Please select one or more talents as materials for forging new talents.

Qin Su thought for a moment and selected the talents "Swift Wind" and "Heartfelt Listener." These two talents were actually a bit useless to him right now. He'd use them to experiment and see what this talent forging machine was all about.

Other talents are still quite important to him, especially the talent of "one effort, a hundredfold reward," which is basically the reason he has grown so quickly.

Therefore, he will not easily touch important talents until he has figured out what this talent forging machine is all about.

Because even if you're not satisfied with the new talent you forge, you can dismantle it and get back the original talent. The consumable comeback points are real.

He can easily gain comeback points, but he can't squander them recklessly.

[Two talents have been detected as forging materials and have been placed into the forging machine. Do you wish to spend 10 billion Comeback Points to begin forging new talents?]

Is this another 10 billion comeback moment...?

Qin Su gasped; the price for forging this talent was indeed quite expensive.

However, considering that acquiring comeback points is easy but acquiring talents is difficult, I felt much more at ease.

"Confirm the cost, let's begin casting."

【Ding! 】

[Talent forging in progress.........]

[Casting progress 10%.........Casting progress 20%...........Casting progress 30%.............Casting progress 40%...............Casting progress 50%.........]

【Ding! 】

[Talents - Gale and Heartfelt Listener have been exhausted. New talent successfully forged: Power Up with Spending. Fusion preferred?]

Will you become stronger by spending money?

Qin Su thought for a moment, then clicked on the details of the talent—"Get Stronger by Spending Money"—and took a look.

[Recharging and spending money allows you to quickly become stronger. With this talent, you can directly use "Reversal Points" to exchange for cultivation realms, upgrade skill levels, or improve proficiency. In short, anything related to improvement can be easily solved by spending money. As long as you have enough Reversal Points, this talent can be triggered infinitely.]

"hiss.............."

Qin Su gasped. This new talent seemed a bit abnormal...

Moreover, if combined with his existing talents, he seems almost invincible.

For example, he practiced telekinesis before, and only after falling and getting bruised and battered did he finally trigger his talent—automatic mastery.

However, if he had this new talent, he could simply spend some money first to learn some skills, and then, by triggering the talent—which is automatically acquired—he could master telekinesis flight without any hardship or fatigue.

Then there's the combination of talent and hard work—the reward of a hundredfold return.

If he spends money to improve even a little, it's like reaping the rewards, and then the talent—the effect of "one effort, a hundredfold reward"—will be triggered, resulting in a hundredfold increase in power.

Spend one dollar and get the effect of spending one hundred dollars. Isn't that invincible?

The only thing that conflicts with this pay-to-win talent is the talent that makes you stronger by breathing. However, the talent that makes you stronger by breathing can only enhance strength and mental power, and cannot improve things like skills.

If you can become stronger by spending money, then it's a very comprehensive system.

As long as it's related to improvement, and as long as you can spend money, then the problem can be solved.

With that in mind, Qin Su decided to merge his talents—get stronger by spending money.

Once the fusion was complete, he immediately activated his talent.

[Current Reversal Points Balance: 80 billion. Available upgrade options include: Martial Arts Realm, Psychic Power Realm, Martial Skill Proficiency, Martial Skill Strength, Psychic Power Secret Technique Proficiency, Psychic Power Secret Technique Strength... Please select the item you wish to upgrade.]

"Shall we try improving our martial arts level first?"

Qin Su thought for a moment and silently recited it in her heart.

[Current martial arts level: 700,000 kg strength, intermediate martial general level. Note that every 10,000 kg increase in strength will consume 100,000 Reversal Points. Do you wish to proceed with the upgrade?]

In other words, ten comeback points equal one kilogram of strength, which isn't expensive. For Qin Su, who has a whopping 80 billion comeback points in his personal account, it even feels a bit cheap.

And those 80 billion comeback points, can they really all be converted into power? Wouldn't that mean I could directly gain 8 billion kilograms of power?

Holy crap...

Qin Su shouted in his heart, "Promote! Promote him immediately!"

[Upgrades are underway.]

Buzz..........

A series of booming sounds echoed within his body. Qin Su could feel his strength beginning to change, increasing rapidly by kilogram.

800,000 kilograms............850,000 kilograms............900,000 kilograms..........1,000,000 kilograms!

Qin Su felt lightheaded, and before she knew it, she stepped on the asphalt and broke through the ground!

He hurriedly grabbed a nearby chair, trying to pull his leg out of the mud pit, but the metal chair shattered into dust at the slightest touch.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected to have reached the Beginner Martial Marquis level, consuming a total of three million Reversal Points. Continue to spend money to improve?]

Let's stop for a moment. The power suddenly surged by 300,000 kilograms, and I lost control of the power. It felt like everything around me was a shoddy construction project.

It seems that one shouldn't spend too much money on a single upgrade; it's better to be steady and take it slow.

【Ding! 】

[Host's needs detected. Activate the talent—get stronger by spending money, using Reversal Points to enhance control over your own power?]

"?"

A big question mark appeared on Qin Su's forehead.

You can even spend money on this, right?

I was wondering why improving this talent was no better than simply becoming stronger through breathing; I never expected to find this waiting for me here.

Okay, okay, so this is how you play it, huh? You're just using all sorts of tricks to get me to spend money, right? You want to play the "once you enter the world of pay-to-win, there's no going back" game, right?

"Pay-to-win!"

[This in-game purchase event is now underway. Important notes: 1. Every minute that passes will consume 10,000 Reversal Points. It is estimated that it will take seven days for the host to fully control their rapidly increasing power. 2. Without making in-game purchases, it will take the host three months to fully control their current surge in power.]

It even reminded me that spending money on in-game purchases is very cost-effective; the system is really kind of you.

Qin Su rubbed his temples. Seven days, a total of 10,080 minutes, multiplied by 10,000, that's 100.8 million comeback points.

The big one was waiting here all along.

It's not bad, though. 103.8 million Reversal Points can instantly increase strength by 300,000 kilograms, reaching the initial Martial Marquis level. This efficiency is much faster than the talent that makes you stronger just by breathing.

【Ding! 】

[Host's strength has increased by 300,000 kilograms. Talent - One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward, has been triggered. Power is being distributed a hundredfold.]

"Um?!"

Upon hearing the system's voice in his mind, Qin Su suddenly realized something, and his lips twitched slightly.
