nChapter 10

n“Big Brother, are you selling yourself?”

nChu Yu looked at Chu Zhou suspiciously.

n“What do you mean by selling myself?” Chu Zhou was stunned.

n“There’s no need to hide it. I understand!” Chu Yu’s face revealed a look of understanding. “Many people on the Internet say that young man don’t know the goodness of living off a woman. They have wasted their youth the other way around.”

n“It seems that you’re more mature than your peers and have understood the true meaning of life!”

nShe reached out and patted Chu Zhou’s shoulder. “Big Brother, don’t worry. I’m reasonable. I understand and support you!”

n“There’s nothing wrong with earning money with your own abilities!” His father, Chu Donglai, also added on silently.

nChu Zhou reacted and his face darkened.

n“What the hell did you learn on the Internet?”

nHe rubbed his sister Chu Yu’s head angrily and messed up her hairstyle again.

n“Listen carefully. I happened to make a windfall today. The money used to buy the Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat is all mine…”

nHe told her about how he had accidentally “picked up” 100,000 Alliance Dollars when he took a shortcut home.

nHe wasn’t lying. He had indeed “picked it up” from the ground.

n“What? Big Brother, you actually picked up 100,000 Alliance Dollars? What kind of luck is this!”

nChu Yu was dumbfounded.

nThe next moment, she extended her small hand and placed it in front of Chu Zhou.

n“Everyone who sees it gets a share! It’s better to be happy together than to be happy alone! Brother, I believe you would not be so stingy as to not spare a strand of hair

n!”

nChu Yu looked at Chu Zhou with a flattering smile.

n“Not sparing a strand of a hair? Am I such a person?” Chu Zhou was very angry. This little girl actually insulted his character.

nHe lowered his head and looked at his arm. He “beared the pain” and plucked a strand of hair and placed it on Chu Yu’s palm then helped her close her fingers.

n“A hair plucked from the ground. Take it!”

nChu Yu looked at his closed hand in a daze, and his expression collapsed.

n“Big Brother, you miser!”

nScreams resounded throughout the house.

nWhen his father, Chu Donglai, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.

nIn the end, Chu Zhou still gave her 500 Alliance Dollars as a “pacification fee” to calm her down.

n“Xiaoyu, don’t think it’s too little… This money is very useful to me now. The elite trial is about to begin. I’ll use this money to buy some cultivation resources to increase my strength!”

n“I will be able to obtain the genetic potion if I can obtain the top three in the elite trial.”

n“With the genetic potion, I can try to open the genetic lock and become a true martial artist!”

n“Earning money will be an easy for me when I become a true martial artist. At that time, it won’t be much even if I give you five million dollars as pocket money!”

nChu Zhou said to Chu Yu, as he cut the Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat in the kitchen.

nChu Yu stopped frying the vegetables and said to Chu Zhou with a worried expression.

n“Big Bro, are you participating in the elite trial held by the top 10 high schools? This is risky. Every year, many people die in the trial.”

n“Don’t you already get a guaranteed spot in a Martial Arts University? Why are you still taking the risk?”

nHis father, Chu Donglai, also looked at Chu Zhou.

n“Yes, I’m definitely participating! I have to perform well to fight for more resources even if I can enter the Martial Arts University. Don’t worry, I’m absolutely confident that nothing will happen!” Chu Zhou explained to his sister and father.

nHe did not mention about how Jin Zhennan had almost replaced him in the guaranteed spot.

nThere was no need worry his family worry.

nChu Yu saw the determination in Chu Zhou’s eyes and did not continue to persuade him.

nShe knew her brother’s personality very well. Once he decided on something, even nine cows would not be able to pull him back.

nMoreover, he would have to face all kinds of danger sooner or later as a martial artist. He could not avoid it.

nThe dangers in the elite trials were not worth mentioning compared to the dangers of fighting monsters in the wilderness in the future.

n“Big Bro, be careful. You just said that you will give me five million dollars as pocket money after you become a martial artist… You have to come back in one piece to fulfill your promise, okay?” She could only remind him.

nHis father stared deeply at Chu Zhou and only said, “Be careful!”

nThe dishes were quickly cooked.

nA mouth-watering fragrance of meat wafted through the room.

nThis was the fragrance of the Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat.

nThey turned on the television and the family began to eat.

nThis was the first time Chu Zhou’s family had eaten monster meat.

nThe meat of the Iron Thorn Wild Boar was smooth, tender, and delicious. It also had a unique fragrance that made Chu Zhou’s family reminisce.

n“Big Brother, eat more!”

nHis younger sister, Chu Yu, placed pieces after pieces of Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat into Chu Zhou’s bowl, filling it up.

nShe wanted Chu Zhou to eat more after knowing that he was going to participate in the elite trial.

nChu Zhou looked at the meat piled into a small pyramid, speechless, and could only eat it.

nAt this moment, a piece of news was broadcasted on the television.

nA female newscaster said:

n“At 5:35 p.m. this afternoon, three victims were found in a remote alley near Yi’an District! The three victims died tragically without even a corpse. There was even a red rose stuck at the crime scene!”

n“The police have determined that the murderer is an extremely dangerous figure among the fallen martial artists.”

n“During this period of time, the fallen martial artists have been committing crimes without rest. 12 students have gone missing in a row, and there are even murder cases now. Citizens, please pay attention to your safety and try not to go to remote alleys. Don’t approach anyone you suspect of being a fallen martial artist.”

nThere were also a few pixelated images of the murder scene on the television.

nChu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly watching the news.

nHe naturally wanted to see the police identify the murderer as a fallen martial artist.

nHe had actually recorded a video with his phone at that time, it was enough to prove that he was defending himself.

nIn this era, it was completely legal for the victim to kill the other party in self-defense when they were being attacked with weapons such as knives and guns.

nTherefore, he was not afraid of being discovered.

nHowever, it was better to avoid trouble.

nThe current outcome was pretty good!

n“Eh, isn’t this alley where you often take shortcuts?”

nChu Yu looked at the photo on the television and could not help but be shocked.

n“There’s actually a murder case in this alley, and it was done by a fallen martial artist. Big Brother, don’t go through this alley.”

n“Well, I didn’t think that something like this would happen in this alley. I won’t be taking this road again anytime soon.”

nChu Zhou nodded and said calmly.

n…

nThe Jin family.

nJin Jingmao immediately slammed the table angrily after seeing the news report.

n“No wonder they didn’t reply for so long. It turns out that they were killed by the fallen martial artists.”

n“I wasted 100,000 Alliance Dollars!”

n“Hmph, consider that kid lucky!”

nJin Jingmao’s face was gloomy. It would not be good for him to find someone to attack Chu Zhou so soon after the plan was foiled this time.

nRecently, the actions of the fallen martial artists in Jiang City had been too rampant. All the police officers in Jiang City were on high alert.

nIt would easily cause a “misunderstanding” if he made any moves.

n…

nAt Chu Zhou’s house.

nAfter dinner, he sat down and waited for his digestion to complete. Then, he immediately checked his Attribute Board.

nAttribute Points: 0.7 ( 0.45)

nDuring this dinner, his attribute points had increased by 0.45!

nThe high-energy food feast he ate in school only increased his attribute points by 0.15.

nThe attribute points obtained from a meal of Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat was three times that of ordinary high-energy food.

nChu Zhou was overjoyed.

n“Looks like there’s no need to stay in school for the time being. I can eat at home for every meal!”

nChu Zhou muttered to himself. He had made up his mind.

nHigh school rules were actually more flexible. Students could choose whether or not to live on campus.

nMany students choose to stay in school mainly because it provides cheap high-energy food.

nThere was naturally no need for him to stay on campus now that Chu Zhou could eat Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat at home.

nTwo days of vacation passed quickly.

nChu Zhou still chose to return home.

nHe ate three meals a day at home.

nIn the morning, he would wake up at 5:30 am and rush to the school’s martial arts classroom before 6 am to cultivate with Big Sister Dao.

nSoon, another two days passed.

nIt was Tuesday.

nChu Zhou sat cross-legged on the grass in the small forest near his school where he had tested the Curved Hand Blade previously. He brought up the Attribute Board.

n…

nName: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field 3.6)

nAttribute points: 6.1 ( 5.4)

nBasic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level Three (Not Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)

nCurved Hand Blade (D-rank): Level 4 – Perfection Realm (Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)

nSharp Blade Kick (D-rank): Level 2 – Proficient Realm (Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)

n…

n“I can finally level up again!”

n“Upgrade the Curved Hand Blade!”

nWith a thought, Chu Zhou’s Attribute Board flickered and became blurry.

nAt the same time, a large number of cultivation memories and details appeared in his mind.

nA moment later, the Attribute Board became clear again.

nCurved Hand Blade (D-Rank): Level 5 – Intent Realm (Not enough Attribute Points to upgrade)

nThe Curved Hand Blade was finally upgraded to the Intent Realm after spending five Attribute Points.

n
