Evil merchant!

w.a.n.g Teng cursed in his heart, but he still bought some rune bullets from the shop.

But, he didn't buy alloy bullets from overseas brands. Instead, he got the bullets from 'Zhang Alloy,' which was created by their own country.

We should support local products!

Zhang Alloy was ranked 7th in Master Lu's shop. It wasn't cheap either.

w.a.n.g Teng chose ice and fire element rune bullets. They were more powerful than regular alloy bullets.

In total, he had spent 300 thousand on these two kinds of bullets. Along with his recent expenses, his fortune was already starting to thin out.

He paid the price and initiated the order. Then, he waited for the round-faced fat chicken to deliver his goods to his house.

w.a.n.g Teng put down his phone and listened to a few lessons. He also picked up 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers' attributes.

Time flew. At night, w.a.n.g Teng went back home for dinner.

The family sat down and chatted occasionally. Unknowingly, they started to talk about the university entrance exam.

“The Ministry of Education had a reform this year and is allowing intermediate stage martial disciples to take part in the martial arts exam. What a pity. You started practicing a little too late.” w.a.n.g Shengguo found it unfortunate.

w.a.n.g Teng had only practiced for less than a month. w.a.n.g Shengguo never thought his son would become an intermediate stage martial disciple in this short period.

Hence, he didn't have any hope for the university entrance exam this year.

w.a.n.g Teng opened his mouth, but he heard his father saying, “However, you don't have to worry. I can help ask your school to allow you to repeat your year. We will still have a chance next year.”

“That's right. Son, your father and I are mentally prepared. You can take the exam again next year. Don't be stressed,” Li Xiumei agreed with her husband and said.

w.a.n.g Teng opened his mouth again to speak. In the end, though, he just sighed secretly.

Forget it, I will give them a surprise later.

He didn't tell his parents about his ability. After all, it was really hard to explain. It was better to show them results and make them happy.

After he finished eating, w.a.n.g Teng went out to Jixin Martial House.

When he came back at night, the round-faced fat chicken had arrived punctually. w.a.n.g Teng received the rune alloy bullets and placed them in his weapon carrier casket along with his rune gun.

All that was left was to increase the points of his Gun Kungfu.

During the past few days, w.a.n.g Teng had asked someone to investigate Zhao Ganghu's small team.

The result wasn't very encouraging.

The gang was made up of all sorts of people. Most of them had no potential and didn't have a stable life. They bullied the weak and respected the strong. They would collect protection fees from small companies. It wasn't something worthy of mentioning.

As for Zhao Ganghu, he was already more than thirty years old. He was an advanced stage martial disciple, but his talent was limited.

w.a.n.g Teng was already a martial warrior. His leveling up speed in the future wouldn't be slow.

He would only get stronger and stronger.

Zhao Ganghu would be thrown far behind and wouldn't be able to catch up with him at all.

Thus, in the end, w.a.n.g Teng gave up the thought of accepting Zhao Ganghu and his gang.

Zhao Ganghu was stunned for a long time when he received his rejection.

He didn't expect w.a.n.g Teng to reject the request of an advanced stage martial disciple to be under him.

Was it disdain?

He's looking down on me so much!

He clenched his fists with an ugly expression.

At the side, Zhao Gangbao was secretly elated. That evil person didn't accept them. As long as he stayed far away from w.a.n.g Teng in the future, there was nothing to be afraid of.

He was still the second-in-command. Besides his elder brother, all the other subordinates had to listen to him.

“Brother, if I have to say, that fellow is blind. He's not able to see your ability. Why do we have to follow him?” Zhao Gangbao used the opportunity to fan the flames.

“Don't start acting smart.” Zhao Ganghu glared at him.

Then, he looked at a subordinate behind him and asked, “How much money do we have left?”

“Less than 8 million,” the subordinate replied.

“Go and borrow some more. Make it 10 million. I will give it to him personally,” Zhao Ganghu said.

“What? Ten million! Brother, are you crazy? He's not going to bother about us anymore. Why are we still giving him ten million!” Zhao Gangbao jumped up and looked at Zhao Ganghu in disbelief. He wanted to see if his brother had turned crazy from fright.

“You don't have to give anything. I'm not the one who caused trouble. If you meet him again in the future, you can do whatever you want,” Zhao Ganghu sneered and mocked his brother.

“Erm…”

The moment he thought of w.a.n.g Teng, Zhao Gangbao lost his courage. He hesitated and said, “Why don't we give him 6 million? That's a million more than the previous time. He should be satisfied. That way, we won't have to borrow money from others.”

“Do whatever you want. You can solve your own problems. I don't want to care about it anymore.”

Zhao Ganghu sighed in his heart. He was filled with disappointment. He shook his head and left the room directly, ignoring his brother.

He went to train. He trained even harder than before, as if his life depended on it.

“I will make you regret your decision today!”

Zhao Ganghu promised himself that one day, he must let w.a.n.g Teng know that he wasn't a good-for-nothing.

“Young Master w.a.n.g, there are ten million here. I had to ask many people for help before I managed to borrow all this money. I hope that you can show some mercy and forgive me for what I've done.”

At Donghai No. 1 High School entrance, Zhao Gangbao held a bank card in his hand and pa.s.sed it to w.a.n.g Teng respectfully while bending his back and lowering his head.

The stubbornness and reluctance he used to have couldn't be seen now.

Heh~ it feels good!

“Interesting.” w.a.n.g Teng didn't expect Zhao Gangbao to know how to behave properly in a situation like this. However, he also knew that this was probably his older brother, Zhao Ganghu's, idea.

Based on Zhao Gangbao's personality, he might not be so decisive.

At first, w.a.n.g Teng didn't plan to take this money. After all, he had already rejected them. There was no point in taking their money.

But now that the other party had come to deliver it personally, there was no point in refusing them.

Also, his expenses had been really high recently. He didn't have much savings left. Since they came to deliver the money, it would be a waste if he didn't take it.

“This matter will end here. Don't let me see you causing trouble again,” w.a.n.g Teng said indifferently as he took the bank card and placed it in his pocket.

“I won't dare do it again. I won't dare,” Zhao Gangbao gave a forced smile and said.

After w.a.n.g Teng left, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and heaved a long sigh of relief.

“Martial warriors are really scary. I wonder if it's a psychological effect, but his presence is enough to suffocate me. Forget it. I will take it as I'm buying peace and safety.” Zhao Gangbao heaved a breath again as he comforted himself.

After solving the Zhao brothers' matter, w.a.n.g Teng's life was very peaceful for the next few days.

He had almost collected all the attributes for 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers.' Thus, he didn't want to go to school and waste his time.

He had a lot on his plate every day. Besides cultivating Force, he needed to go to Jixin Martial House to pick up attributes. In the middle of the night, he would visit the mental hospital since Spirit attributes were hard to come by.

It took him so much effort to find a place that could give him Spirit attributes. He wouldn't want to miss it.

Besides all these, he would take some time to go to Lin Chuhan's house to visit the poison baby, Lin Chuxia. Along the way, he would collect the Demon Lotus Poison Body and poison Force attributes she had dropped.

Not only was he able to alleviate Lin Chuxia's suffering, but he was also able to increase his own Demon Lotus Poison Body and poison Force points. It was a win-win situation.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to visit Lin Chuhan's house too often. He was afraid that Mother Lin would misunderstand his intentions.

…What a pity!

With so many things to do, w.a.n.g Teng's life was incredibly fulfilling.

w.a.n.g Teng studied his attributes panel. Many of his attributes had increased.

Especially the Spirit attribute, it flew to 91 points. w.a.n.g Teng felt as if there was a strange force breeding in his brain.

Could it be that once the Spirit attribute reached a certain point, there would be a qualitative change? w.a.n.g Teng guessed in his heart.

He suddenly had a premonition. However, he could only wait for the qualitative change to arrive to know what would happen at that time.

He continued looking down. Under w.a.n.g Teng's hard work, all his Force and the proficiency of his scriptures and battle techniques had risen.

His ability had increased.

One thing to note was that his Basic Stick Skill had reached the presence enlightenment stage.

Thus, there was no way to increase any of his basic battle techniques anymore. He didn't need to waste time collecting the attributes now.

w.a.n.g Teng also went to the Owl Marksmans.h.i.+p Club and tried picking up Gun Skill attributes to see if it helped his Gun Kungfu attribute.

In the end…

Gun Kungfu (foundation 1.8/10)

It was not difficult to tell how much effect Gun Skill attributes had on Gun Kungfu. After all, it was a part of Gun Kungfu.

However, the effect was minimal. w.a.n.g Teng had picked up two digits worth of Gun Skill points, but his Gun Kungfu only increased by 0.8.

If he wanted to increase his Gun Kungfu points, it would be a long and tedious journey!

Friday, after school ended.

Their headteacher, Fan Weiming, distributed the examination ident.i.ty card. First, he distributed the normal university entrance exam ident.i.ty cards. Then, he gave out the martial arts exam ones.

The other students watched their cla.s.smates partic.i.p.ating in the martial arts exam go forward to get their ident.i.ty cards. They had jealous expressions on their faces.

“Our cla.s.s monitor is partic.i.p.ating in the martial arts exam too!”

When it was Lin Chuhan's turn, everyone was shocked.

Lin Chuhan was a well-known top student. Her results beat all the other students by a huge gap. She was the top student in Donghai No. 1 High School.

But, she was actually going to enter the martial arts exam?!

Everyone found this hard to believe and even a bit unacceptable.

The last person to receive his ident.i.ty card was w.a.n.g Teng, who came late.

“w.a.n.g Teng is partic.i.p.ating in the martial arts exam?” The students who were packing their bags and preparing to go home got a shock again.

“Has he learned martial arts before?”

“I've never heard of it. Has he been hiding his ability?”

“Maybe. He comes from a wealthy family, so he will have an easier time practicing martial arts compared to a normal person,” someone said enviously.

“Haha, look at how jealous you are~” someone said with contempt.

After Fan Weiming finished distributing all the examination ident.i.ty cards, he said to everyone, “Take a good rest tomorrow. Have a routine lifestyle. Don't sleep too early or too late. Revise appropriately and adjust your mentality. Arrive at your exam locations earlier on the 5th of July. The exam will start at 8 am sharp. Take things easy, and don't be late!

“Remember to bring all your items, especially your examination ident.i.ty card. Every year, someone forgets to bring theirs. Don't say that I didn't remind you. If this happens to you, you won't even be able to cry…”

He kept reminding his students earnestly and patiently.

The students laughed and said that he was naggy. However, they didn't reveal any hint of impatience.

Fan Weiming was a responsible and accountable headteacher. Thus, the students treated him with respect.

“Take your exams properly, and don't waste these three years of your life!”

Fan Weiming said emotionally as he looked at the young and vibrant faces below.
