I possess boundless talent; even geniuses are no match for me.

......

"Sorry, I just went all out unconsciously. I fouled. You win this round."

Hao Xi also hurriedly jumped off the stage, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Yu was unharmed.

If something happens at your own martial arts school, you'll face a lot of trouble afterwards.

"Eighth level of Body Tempering Realm, truly impressive," Chen Yu remarked with slight admiration.

Even with multiple talents, the five-level difference in cultivation level was still insurmountable.

What are ape arms and elephant legs? They are just a little more talented than ordinary people. How can they be stronger than a realm of five levels?

The difference in strength, speed, and physique was too great; he couldn't even withstand a single move.

Although he possesses the talent of "Grade B Martial Arts Bone", it is still unlikely that he can improve his martial arts level in a short period of time.

Unless, I acquire an even greater talent!

Without much thought, Chen Yu stood up and shook his head:

"To be honest, I just want to challenge the strong; winning or losing doesn't matter to me."

Just as he had told Wang Qianjun before, in his view, martial arts realm is also a part of strength, and there is nothing to argue about.

Now that he has even copied a blue-quality talent, he has gained a lot and naturally has no complaints.

"Challenge a strong opponent? Really?" Hao Sangui raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Aren't you someone sent by a rival martial arts school to challenge us?"

He simply couldn't believe that a genius like Chen Yu would do this just for a small challenge reward.

However, if it's just a matter of liking to challenge strong opponents, then it's not impossible.

"A rival martial arts school?" Chen Yu was taken aback, not expecting the martial arts school owner to think of him this way.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. His swordsmanship talent is beyond what ordinary people should have, so it's normal for people to doubt him.

"I am not affiliated with any martial arts school, but I will definitely challenge other martial arts schools in Jiangcheng in the future."

Chen Yu said.

"Oh? You're going to challenge other martial arts schools?!" Hao Sangui was immediately surprised.

He was holding an opening event for his new store, which is why he didn't make things difficult for Chen Yu.

However, for other established martial arts schools, Chen Yu's challenge would be a blatant act of breaking into their establishments, and those schools might not be so forgiving.

Moreover, if you actively challenge a martial arts school, the school won't compete with you based on your skill level; it will only judge you based on your strength.

Putting everything else aside, they're bound to get a lesson and suffer some injuries.

"This guy... he's really not afraid of death!" Even Hao Xi couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Even she wouldn't dare to challenge other martial arts schools, as the consequences would be quite serious and she would offend too many people.

"I told you, I like challenging experts!" Chen Yu emphasized again, while revealing his payment QR code on his terminal.

Hao Sangui didn't waste any words and immediately transferred the money.

However, Chen Yu discovered that although the challenge reward should have been three thousand Crimson Coins, Hao Sangui had transferred a full ten thousand.

"Boss, did you overspend?" Chen Yu frowned slightly.

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; someone is either a crook or a thief!

"Not much, not much," Hao Sangui laughed, then explained, "Three thousand is what you were entitled to."

"As for the remaining seven thousand, consider it a favor you're doing me."

"If you really want to challenge them, you can go directly to the Polar Bear Martial Arts School."

"Of course, if you don't want to go, that's fine too. Consider the seven thousand a gift from me."

Chen Yu understood.

This is turning him into a henchman!

Even without this incident, he would definitely still go to challenge various martial arts schools in Jiangcheng. The order of events is not important; it's just something that happens by chance.

"Boss, does the Polar Bear Martial Arts Academy you mentioned have a genius like Hao Xi?"

Hao Sangui assumed Chen Yu was worried about the presence of a master at the Polar Bear Martial Arts School, and immediately puffed out his chest confidently:

"My daughter is the class monitor of the martial arts class at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. She's a genius with the potential to get into a prestigious martial arts school. You can't find one like her everywhere."

"Don't worry, the owner of Polar Bear Martial Arts Academy won't be involved. He'll only have a few students at the sixth or seventh level of Body Tempering to oversee things!"

Even if you're no match for them, you should be able to protect yourself!

However, Hao Sangui noticed that after he said those words, Chen Yu's face showed not excitement, but rather a hint of disappointment.

"Is this guy some kind of martial arts fanatic?" Hao Sangui muttered to himself upon seeing this.

Only a martial arts fanatic would have such a strong obsession with challenging martial arts masters.

"Okay, if I want to challenge a martial arts school in the future, the first one I'll go to is the Polar Bear Martial Arts School." Chen Yu sighed; he was indeed somewhat disappointed.

That's understandable, though. Geniuses like Hao Xi and Wang Qianjun are rare in Jiangcheng; they're hard to come by.

However, he will definitely try to replicate more talents.

Even if the talent performance of gray and white quality is average, it is still better than nothing.

......

After leaving Haoying Martial Arts School, I returned home.

"I never imagined that luck could be a kind of talent."

Chen Yu glanced at the [Lucky Charm (Blue)] on the panel, which was a talent he had copied from Hao Xi.

I thought it would be a copy of martial arts talent or swordsmanship talent, but I never expected it would be luck.

"The fortune of a city probably refers to Jiangcheng."

"If this were a novel, would it mean that Hao Xi would be considered the protagonist of Jiangcheng?"

Chen Yu was also somewhat unsure.

A person's talents are diverse, especially for geniuses, it is common to possess multiple talents at the same time.

For example, Fang Xiong's talent is not limited to being a master of swordsmanship; his martial arts foundation and luck can also be considered formidable talents.

Chen Yu only copied one of them.

For example, Wang Qianjun may also have the same kind of luck and ambition as Hao Xi.

"I've got the second blue-quality talent. Now I only need the last one to unlock the new features on the panel."

"Where can we find this last blue-quality talent?"

Chen Yu was somewhat worried.

Geniuses like Hao Xi and Wang Qianjun are even rarer, and unless there are special circumstances, you can't even see them, and others are too lazy to pay attention to them.

The best opportunity, on the contrary, is the martial arts examination, which will surely gather all the geniuses of Jiangcheng.

However, Chen Yu needed to become stronger before the martial arts exam, otherwise it would be too late.

"I'll ask Teacher Fang tomorrow and gather some information to see if we can find an opportunity to compete against a genius."

Lying in bed, Chen Yu opened his terminal and casually browsed the news from the past few days while searching for information about Jiangcheng Martial Arts School.

However, as soon as it was opened, a striking news item popped up.

[Recently, a family of three in Jiangcheng was brutally murdered, their internal organs completely devoured, suspected to be the work of a follower of an evil god.]

At the bottom of the news article, several photos of the crime scene were also included.

"A follower of an evil god?!"

Even though the picture was blurred, Chen Yu could still tell how miserable the scene was.

This world is inhabited by numerous extraterrestrial evil gods who are ubiquitous and for which there are no effective means of containment.

People are often tempted by the ideas of evil gods and fall into the trap of becoming believers in evil gods, thus becoming no longer human.

"It's only three or four kilometers away from here, and it's on my only way home!"

Chen Yu glanced at the site of the accident and felt a deep sense of worry.

He plans to buy a knife tomorrow, just in case.

At the same time, he noted down the names and locations of several martial arts schools, including the Polar Bear Martial Arts School, preparing to challenge them the next day.

After doing all this, Chen Yu jumped off the bed, took a dose of the high-grade body-tempering potion he had obtained from Fang Xiong, and began practicing the Star-Stepping Stance!

As soon as I started cultivating, turbulent flow began to fill every corner of my body, which was the effect of the body-tempering elixir.

"As expected, the effects are obvious with the help of the body-tempering supplement!"

"Furthermore, with a talent for martial arts at the second-grade level, the efficiency of absorbing supplements is greatly increased!"

"It's a supplement meant to last three days, but for me it'll probably only last one day."

"Efficiency and time are ultimately mutually exclusive."

Chen Yu sighed.

The rapid absorption of supplements is a good thing, as it greatly saves time in body quenching.

But this also led to the supplements being used up very quickly, and he didn't have the money to buy more supplements.

"Hurry up and develop the Thunder Blade to the mastery level, then earn some extra money."
