Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Bai Family Villa

"ah--!"

"My ear! Be gentle!"

Bai Er lay on the bed in the private medical room, wincing in pain.

His private doctor is carefully treating the bite wound on his right ear.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open!

"Earl!"

A graceful and elegant middle-aged woman strode in.

When she saw Bai E's bloody and mangled ear, her face instantly turned ashen!

"Who did this?!"

Her voice was shrill, and her well-maintained face was contorted with anger.

Just as the bodyguard captain was about to explain, the woman suddenly turned around and slapped him hard across the face!

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the medical room.

The bodyguard captain was knocked back, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he dared not put up any resistance.

"Useless! You can't even protect the young master, what use are you?!"

The woman shouted angrily, her eyes filled with malice.

Bai E waved his hand impatiently: "Mom, don't be angry, it was my own carelessness."

The woman then composed herself and walked tenderly to her son's side.

"What exactly happened?"

"Who dares to harm the only heir of the Bai family?"

Bai E sneered, a venomous glint in his eyes: "It's that lowly commoner, Wang Xian, whose provincial champion's spot we stole."

"What?" The woman frowned. "That bastard child without parents? Wasn't he locked up in the warehouse?"

"That bastard fought back as he was dying and bit me."

Bai E touched his bandaged ear, his face grim: "But it doesn't matter, his S-level talent has already been extracted, and it will soon be mine."

Upon hearing this, the woman's face immediately revealed a malicious smile.

"Serves him right! This lowly nobody deserves to be the top scorer in the province, and he doesn't deserve to have S-level talent?"

She gently stroked her son's cheek, her tone icy: "Once the talent transplant is complete, Mom will personally take care of him for you."

"How dare you hurt my son! I'll make him wish he were dead!"

Bai E grinned: "I'll personally put him through the wringer then."

"Okay, whatever you say."

The woman nodded indulgently, then turned to the bodyguards and snapped, "What are you all standing there for? Go and keep an eye on that bastard! If he gets away, none of you will live!"

The bodyguards left the room trembling with fear.

The woman then put on a gentle expression, picked up a grape from the exquisite porcelain plate, peeled it, and fed it to Bai'er.

"Sweetheart, focus on healing your injury first."

"Once you receive your S-level talent transplant, you will truly be a chosen one of heaven."

"Once you enter Tsinghua or Peking University, your future will be limitless!"

Bai E chewed on the grapes with a smug look on his face, as if he could already see himself entering Tsinghua or Peking University and being worshipped by countless people.

Just then.

The villa gate was pushed open.

A middle-aged man in a sharp suit with a stern face strode in.

It was Bai Zhengqing, the chairman of Hengjin Group.

His sharp gaze fell on Bai E's bandaged ear, and he frowned slightly: "What happened?"

The woman immediately stepped forward, her tone sharp: "Isn't it that little beast named Wang Xian!"

"Our Er'er is so fortunate to have his status as the top provincial scholar and his S-level talent!"

"Not only is he ungrateful, but he also dared to bite our Er'er! He's a complete bastard!"

Bai Zhengqing's expression remained unchanged as he glanced down at his watch: "Talent extraction complete?"

"Chairman, it's done."

The bespectacled man emerged from the shadows of the corridor, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses: "The S-grade talent energy purity reaches 78.8%, which is the highest purity sample we have ever extracted."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Bai Zhengqing's eyes as he turned and walked towards the basement: "Prepare for the transplant surgery."

The group took a private elevator to the third basement level of the villa.

As the heavy alloy door slowly opened, a futuristic underground laboratory came into view.

Above the central operating table floated a special container filled with blue energy balls, where a dozen technicians in protective suits were making final adjustments.

At this time.

Bai Zhengqing suddenly asked, "What is the success rate of the transplant?"

The bespectacled man lowered his head: "Theoretically... it's 63%, because the compatibility between the receptor and the talent isn't very high."

"63%?"

The woman interrupted shrilly, "So low? What if it fails? Will it affect Er'er!"

The bespectacled man lowered his head even further: "There's a certain level of danger to his life..."

"What?! You...!"

"Shut up!"

Bai Zhengqing interrupted her, giving her a cold glance before turning to Bai E: "This concerns your future, so you decide for yourself."

Bai E stared at the ball of blue energy, his eyes filled with greed.

"I want a transplant!"

"With S-level talent, I can get into Tsinghua or Peking University and be worshipped by countless people!"

Bai Zhengqing nodded and raised his hand to indicate, "Let's begin."

The operating room immediately sprang into action.

Bai Er was strapped to a specially made operating table, with dozens of nerve-connecting needles inserted into his spine.

When the blue energy ball was injected into his body, the entire laboratory suddenly shook violently!

"ah--!!!"

Bai E let out a heart-wrenching scream, and eerie blue patterns emerged beneath her skin.

The monitoring instruments were alarming incessantly, and technicians were frantically adjusting the parameters.

"An energy repulsion reaction!"

"Blood pressure skyrockets!"

"The nervous system is collapsing!"

At the critical moment.

The bespectacled man suddenly pressed the red button, and a tube of golden liquid was injected into Bai E's body.

In an instant.

All abnormal data began to decline, and the blue light gradually stabilized.

"It's...it's a success!" The bespectacled man breathed a sigh of relief, then became excited.

Even Bai Zhengqing, who had been expressionless the whole time, was a little excited!

To know.

No talent stripping or talent transplantation technology has been developed outside the region!

In other words.

They were the first to successfully develop this technology.

Once this technology is developed, it will surely shock the world!

Bai Zhengqing stood in front of the observation window.

Looking at Bai E, who was gradually calming down on the operating table, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He turned to the bespectacled man and said in a deep voice, "Immediately seal all experimental data and activate the highest level of encryption."

"Yes, Chairman."

Stepping out of the laboratory.

Bai Zhengqing went to the rooftop office of the villa alone.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire city, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the mahogany desk.

"Talent transplantation technology..." he muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with ambition.

He understood better than anyone what this technology meant.

In this world where martial arts reign supreme, talent determines a person's potential.

How many powerful and wealthy families have gradually declined because their descendants were mediocre?

How many wealthy and powerful families have gone to great lengths to find a talented heir?

just now.

He, Bai Zhengqing, holds the key to rewriting all of this!

And his Hengjin Group can also use this technology to build connections with higher-ups and go even further!

As for whether this technology will cause ordinary people to resist it and thus dislike Hengjin Group?

Ha ha!

Whatever!

Someone will help him suppress these sounds.

Bai E pushed open the office door, his face still pale from the surgery, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Dad, the physical exam is over, and everything is normal!"

He strode up to Bai Zhengqing, a ball of dark blue energy condensing in his palm:

"The power of this S-rank talent is amazing! I feel incredibly strong right now!"

Bai Zhengqing glanced at it indifferently and said calmly, "Don't be too smug. There are countless geniuses in Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Your strength is far from enough."

Bai E's smile froze for a moment, then he retorted defiantly, "With an S-rank talent, I'll catch up to those people very soon!"

"I hope so."

Bai Zhengqing turned around and looked out the window again.

"Remember, if you go to Tsinghua or Peking University, you represent the Bai family. If you end up at the bottom, you will be the one who loses face for the Bai family."

"No, I won't!" Bai E quickly assured him, "I definitely won't let you down!"

That being said...

But a hint of unease still flashed in Bai E's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Dad, will they find out that we took his place as the provincial champion?"

"Scared?"

Bai Er nodded slightly; he was indeed a little scared.

Bai Zhengqing chuckled, took a list from the drawer, and tossed it onto the table: "Take a look at this."

Bai E opened it with a puzzled look, then stared wide-eyed in shock.

Because the list contains 108 names.

Each and every one of them is a prominent figure in Xingquan City and even Nanzhao Province!

"this……"

"Mayor of Xingquan City, Deputy Director of the Education Department of Nanshao Province, Principal of Xingquan Jinwu Academy..."

Bai Zhengqing slowly read out a few names: "These people are all our protectors."

He closed the list, his eyes cold.

"It's just that we replaced a provincial top scorer with no connections. Even if things are exposed, there are plenty of people to help us cover it up."

"Moreover, our Hengjin Group is about to climb up to some truly important figures, taking it a step further. At that point, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to overturn things!"
