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

......

Poor scholars, rich warriors.

Whether you are a genius or an ordinary person, you need a constant stream of resources if you want to go further in the martial arts.

Even for geniuses, because of their extremely high cultivation efficiency, their thirst for resources far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Therefore, most of the famous geniuses in Jiangcheng come from wealthy and powerful families.

For example, Wang Qianjun is the son of the Wang family in Jiangcheng, whose family companies are located in every corner of Jiangcheng.

Although Hao Xi's background is not as good as Wang Qianjun's, his family also owns a sizable martial arts school, so he doesn't have to worry about daily training resources either.

Recently, Chen Yu has been collecting information about these martial arts geniuses from various places. Most of them have no shortage of cultivation resources, and their schedules are kept secret, so few people know about them.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

At the entrance of Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School, Chen Yu squatted on the side of the street, disregarding his image and ignoring the stares of others, carefully watching every student passing through the school gate.

Suddenly, a man wearing a faded school uniform and with a buzz cut appeared in Chen Yu's sight.

"That's him!" Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately waved and shouted, "Zhao Tianyi!"

Zhao Tianyi paused, turned to look at Chen Yu, and realized that he did not recognize the person at all.

"Who are you? Do I know you?" Zhao Tianyi asked, looking surprised.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, as long as I know you." Chen Yu smiled, then got straight to the point:

"My name is Chen Yu. I enjoy sparring with masters, and I've been waiting for you here today."

"Sparring? I don't have time!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyi immediately shook his head and prepared to leave quickly.

He still has to work as a sparring partner later to earn money to buy cultivation resources, so where would he find the time to spar with a stranger?

"Hey, don't rush." ​​Chen Yu stepped in front of Zhao Tianyi and held up three fingers.

"Thirty thousand, and we'll fight one match."

He had already investigated beforehand and found that Zhao Tianyi was a cyborg like him, but with exceptional martial arts talent.

However, all the cyborgs have one thing in common: they are short of money.

Zhao Tianyi was no exception.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Zhao Tianyi stopped again and said in a muffled voice, "My time is precious, a flat price—fifty thousand."

"Forty thousand, take it or leave it," Chen Yu bargained, as he didn't have much money on him.

If it weren't for the blue-quality talent, he wouldn't have been willing to spend 40,000 to fight Zhao Tianyi.

"A member of a family like yours, you're still arguing with me over a mere ten thousand?" Zhao Tianyi asked, somewhat puzzled.

This young man named Chen Yu could easily spend money to challenge others to a duel, but he's still hesitating over a mere ten thousand!

Are you that stingy?

"You're the one from the family... I'm a cyborg just like you, every penny I have is hard-earned." Chen Yu curled his lip, knowing that Zhao Tianyi had misunderstood his identity.

That's understandable, though. After all, being so idle as to spend money to hire someone to fight is clearly the style of a member of a powerful family.

Cyborgs have a hard time even supporting themselves, let alone having extra money to hire someone to fight.

"You're a cyborg too?" Zhao Tianyi asked, his face full of disbelief.

However, after Chen Yu opened his personal information on the terminal, Zhao Tianyi had no choice but to believe it, and he couldn't help but complain:

"Are you bored and looking for trouble? You're just paying money to suffer!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Are we going to fight or not?" Chen Yu said impatiently, he was already getting impatient.

He was just one blue-quality talent away from unlocking new features on the panel, and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Fight, why not fight?" Zhao Tianyi immediately said, "Come with me to the martial arts room."

Without lingering, the two quickly arrived at the martial arts room of Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School.

There were still many martial arts students from No. 7 Middle School sparring on the stage in the martial arts room, but they immediately moved aside when they saw Zhao Tianyi.

The principle that strength is paramount in martial arts is evident here.

Even if someone is a cyborg, as long as they possess formidable martial arts skills, they will still be respected by natural humans.

"Go when you're ready," Zhao Tian said confidently, holding a long sword.

He also has the right to be confident.

To become the class monitor of the martial arts class at Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School as a cyborg, and to be ranked alongside the top geniuses of other high schools, is something that not everyone can do.

"Be careful."

Without wasting words, Chen Yu stepped forward, knife in hand.

boom!

A thunderous roar erupted as the Thunder Blade, mastered to a high level, instantly burst forth.

The commotion even caused the martial arts students from No. 7 Middle School to stop and watch.

"This commotion... this guy is a master of high-level martial arts. Who is he?"

"Proficient in various levels of martial arts, no wonder he could fight Zhao Tianyi... Wait, how come he's only at the fourth level of Body Tempering?!"

On the arena, Chen Yu was not careless and went all out from the start.

However, Zhao Tianyi is not a member of the martial arts school, but a top genius who ranks among the best in the entire Jiangcheng!

The eighth level of body tempering!

Master of swordsmanship!

hold head high!

Amidst the flashing blades, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded.

Bang!

As the two swords clashed, Chen Yu was sent flying backward in an instant, narrowly avoiding being blasted off the stage.

"If it weren't for my natural talent, I would have lost this move!"

Chen Yu was secretly alarmed.

Zhang Hanqing of the Polar Bear Martial Arts School did not put him under such great pressure, and he could not see any chance of winning.

This is the difference between an ordinary genius and a top genius.

"Your swordsmanship is not bad, but you're only at the fourth level of Body Tempering. It's a waste of your money to spar with me." Zhao Tianyi frowned slightly.

Even after practicing with him at the fourth level of Body Tempering, it didn't make any progress whatsoever.

After all, the gap is too big; the combat power is an absolute crushing victory in one aspect.

"Again!" Chen Yu didn't care and attacked again with his knife.

Even if a master swordsman pushes their talent to its limit, it's of little use, since the difference in skill level is too great; even if they discover a flaw, it's completely useless.

The saying "one force can overcome ten techniques" perfectly describes this situation.

In less than half a minute, Chen Yu was forced back off the stage by Zhao Tianyi's knife.

Without a doubt, Zhao Tianyi won.

And it's very easy and relaxing.

However, Chen Yu's face showed no disappointment, but rather was filled with visible excitement.

[Battle complete, talent successfully copied]

[Replication Talent - Swordsmanship Prodigy (Blue)]

【Sword Prodigy (Blue)】: Sword comprehension is increased by thirty times compared to ordinary people.

"The third blue-quality talent has finally been obtained!!!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

However, to outsiders, Chen Yu's actions seemed extremely strange.

Even though he hadn't won, he laughed so freely, as if Zhao Tianyi was the one who had lost.

"This guy wasn't lying to me, he really does enjoy sparring with experts!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianyi had no more doubts about what Chen Yu had said before.

Only a true martial arts fanatic who loves fighting can maintain genuine excitement even after losing.

At least, Zhao Tianyi admitted that he couldn't do that.

If he loses to other geniuses, even if he doesn't show it on his face, there will always be a trace of resentment in his heart.

"Thank you very much," Chen Yu said with a bright smile.

"It's a deal, why thank me?" Zhao Tianyi shook his head helplessly. He had only ever met one person in his life, Chen Yu, who gave him money and then laughed at him.

This is a freak.

Chen Yu readily transferred 40,000 Crimson Coins, but just as he was about to leave, he discovered that Zhao Tianyi had inexplicably returned 30,000.

"It's not easy for cyborgs to save money, so I'll just take a small fee for my help. Keep the rest to buy supplements."

"Your swordsmanship talent is no less than mine, but your martial arts level is too low."

Zhao Tianyi waved his hand.

He himself is a cyborg and knows just how difficult it is for cyborgs to practice martial arts on Crimson Star.

Even talented cyborgs often suffer from extremely slow cultivation progress due to a lack of money to buy resources.

Thanks!

Chen Yu smiled knowingly, accepted the favor, waved, and strode away.
