High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Astonishing Harvest

Five account messages in total.

"Finally, it's here. Feels good," Li Yuan muttered as he clicked on the holographic screen, his eyes gleaming with joy as he looked at the dizzying numbers.

Since his uncle's health had been steadily improving and he'd put that worry aside, Li Yuan had been eagerly awaiting the reward from the invitation event to be credited to his account.

Almost a week had passed, and it was several days later than the scheduled disbursement time. But today, it all arrived at once.

"The 3.6 million Blue Star coins are the difference between the first-year A-level contract and the B-level contract with the martial arts hall," Li Yuan murmured to himself. "This 960,000 is the additional 20% training resource from the Starlight Jiangbei branch?"

The A-level contract of the Starlight Martial Arts Hall is unified by the headquarters and cannot be changed by anyone. However, each branch has 'autonomous funds' that can be used to give extra rewards to different talents.

After the January assessment, Li Yuan received a reward of 200,000 Blue Star coins from the Starlight Guanshan Branch for earning the title of Young Hero. The 20% increment on the A-level contract came from the Starlight Jiangbei Provincial Branch.

"Two deposits together deduct 1.14 million in taxes?" Li Yuan muttered. He didn't think much of it; paying taxes to the state was only right. Evading taxes was disgraceful.

"This 2 million is from the actual combat assessment for first place, rewarded by Kunlun University," Li Yuan noted the next deposit. "The 500,000 Blue Star coins from winning the first place in the cage fight were given to me a long time ago."

"The 1 million is from the military sponsorship."

"And the last 1 million is the first installment of training funds from Kunlun University," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Also known as the contract deposit."

The deposit was non-refundable.

These funds, in a sense, all came from the national side to support his training, and therefore were not taxed.

"Including the 200,000 Blue Star coins rewarded by the school," Li Yuan smiled, "I've gained 9.26 million Blue Star coins in just half a month."

And that was just the Blue Star coins.

If he included the 5.7 million points and 9 million training points gifted by Starlight Martial Arts Hall... Li Yuan's total wealth in the past half month exceeded 15 million Blue Star coins.

To some powerful warriors or super-rich individuals, this amount of wealth might not be much. But for Li Yuan, it was a staggering amount.

Thinking about this, Li Yuan clicked on the Starlight app, which was published by Starlight Martial Arts Hall on the smart wristband.

He clicked on his personal account, and all his wealth was clearly displayed:

Bank balance: 10.89 million Blue Star coins

Martial Hall points: 6.73 million

Martial Hall training points: 9.65 million

"Half a year ago, I was still a high school senior worried about 100,000 Blue Star coins," Li Yuan smiled.

In a blink of an eye, he had become a millionaire.

A millionaire in pure cash.

Many so-called billionaires or wealthy entrepreneurs find it difficult to withdraw tens of millions in cash in a short time.

"From January until now, in just over three months, I spent about 680,000 points and 250,000 Blue Star coins," Li Yuan noted as he looked over his expenditure records.

The points were mainly spent on basic qi and blood potions, deep medicinal baths, and purchasing source energy elixirs. The Blue Star coins were mainly spent on daily expenses and actual combat training coaches. He spent very little on other things.

It could be said that Li Yuan spent most of his wealth on training.

The expenses were significant.

"But it's precisely because I didn't think about saving money and focused on training that I was able to shine in the invitation event," Li Yuan thought.

For a powerful warrior, what is the meaning of money? The greatest value of money is to gradually transform it into strength, allowing one's strength to increase faster.

"For the rest of the year, there are two definite sources of money," Li Yuan thought. "One is in October when the martial hall will release the second year's training funds."

"The second is after entering the university, where Kunlun University will gradually disburse the 'S-level special training contract' resources."

Combined, without calculating the training points, Li Yuan could receive a total of over 30 million Blue Star coins' worth of resources in a year.

However, the martial hall's resource distribution is annual, while Kunlun University's resources are released based on half-year assessments.

"No rush, the current wealth is enough for my steady training," Li Yuan felt calm inside. "What I need to do is use this money well to strengthen my abilities."

Li Yuan was very clear that this money wasn't truly earned by his own strength.

Did his performance in the invitation event really deserve millions of Blue Star coins?

Of course not!

One must have self-awareness.

"These funds are set up by the state and the Seven Star Alliance system, as rewards for martial arts talents like me," Li Yuan thought.

What is the purpose?

Not for Li Yuan to use this money for enjoyment or squandering!

"But to help me become stronger, to become a source warrior or even a flying warrior," Li Yuan recalled what Senior Ji said in the Moon Demon World, "To truly become a sharp blade that guards human civilization!"

This is the important reason why Li Yuan can 'easily' obtain these funds.

...

Today is Wednesday.

After the afternoon self-study session, Li Yuan didn't eat at school but headed straight to the martial hall.

Every Wednesday is Li Yuan's actual combat training day.

At around eight in the evening, in Room 7024, two men in full protective gear were engaging in intense combat, each holding a cold weapon.

"Clang!"

Li Yuan's long spear moved swiftly, one strike after another, quick as lightning and continuous like a flowing river, forcing Fang Longhu to retreat step by step, seemingly unable to resist.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's waist exerted force as he stepped forward, and the long spear in his hand slashed down like a giant axe.

This was the ultimate burst of the second move of the Starry Spear Technique, 'Star River Waterfall.'

Using twelve strikes to accumulate momentum, pushing his own breath and offensive to the peak.

It was like a large waterfall falling hundreds of meters, crashing to the ground with a terrifying impact.

"Not good."

Fang Longhu's face changed slightly, disregarding the 'training rules,' he instantly unleashed his full strength, his shield flashing in front of him.

"Boom~"

The long spear slashed down like an axe, hitting the large shield. Even though Li Yuan gave it his all, Fang Longhu, being a level 15 warrior, easily absorbed the impact.

"Stop!" Fang Longhu suddenly said.

But Li Yuan had already stopped, smiling, "Coach Fang, you lost again."

"I lost, I lost!" Fang Longhu put away his shield, feeling a bit emotional, "I didn't expect that even when I used the strength and speed of about level 12, I still couldn't stop you."

"If you had continued your assault, I might not have been able to control my strength and could have hurt you."

Li Yuan laughed.

Although he didn't unleash his full strength, the strength nearing the entry-level, combined with the fourth-stage spear technique, created an astonishing force.

Of course, it still couldn't threaten Fang Longhu.

A level 12 warrior compared to a level 15 warrior might sound like only three levels apart.

But these are post-entry levels, fundamentally different from levels 6 to 9.

Entry-level warriors have significant gaps in physical qualities between each level.

A level 12 warrior has an explosive speed of 30 meters per second, with a punch force of 3000 kilograms.

While a level 15 warrior has an explosive speed of over 50 meters per second, with a punch force easily exceeding 10000 kilograms. Not in the same league.

Facing a level 12 warrior, Li Yuan could still fight with his techniques.

But if it were Fang Longhu? With absolute speed and power, he could kill Li Yuan in one move.

Fourth-grade techniques still can't bridge the gap in absolute power and speed.

Click~ Click!

Both men removed their helmets.

"Li Yuan, I didn't fulfill my training duties today, so I won't charge you," Fang Longhu shook his head. "Also, from now on, I won't take on your actual combat training."

"Won't take it?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"I can't train with you anymore," Fang Longhu smiled helplessly. "You're too much of a monster, progressing too quickly. In just six months, your physical qualities and techniques have improved at an unbelievable rate."

"I've been a trainer for over a decade, and I never really believed in top-tier talents," Fang Longhu said. "But after seeing you, I believe it."

Li Yuan smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll report directly to the Hall Master," Fang Longhu smiled. "I'll arrange a new actual combat trainer for you. It's okay to stop for a week, just don't randomly pick someone."

"Okay," Li Yuan nodded.

Actual combat training is important but also dangerous... just being strong doesn't mean you're fit for the job.

Qualified trainers are few, and excellent ones are even fewer.

Most importantly, safety.

In actual combat training, incidents where the trainer accidentally kills the trainee by losing control of their strength are not unheard of.

Fang Longhu was specifically chosen for Li Yuan by Starlight Martial Arts Hall, experienced and reliable.

For half a year, Fang Longhu could always adjust his strength according to Li Yuan's progress, giving him the right amount of pressure without causing harm.

"Beep~" Fang Longhu's smart wristband suddenly buzzed. He looked down and said, "Li Yuan, this is?"

Li Yuan had transferred him 20,000 Blue Star coins.

"Coach Fang, thank you for the training over the past six months. Don't refuse," Li Yuan smiled. "Think of it as a little bonus, don't think it's too small."

"Haha, thanks then," Fang Longhu laughed. "If there's more training in the future, feel free to call me."

Fang Longhu also wanted to maintain a good relationship with Li Yuan.

"Sure," Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

He had the same intention, thinking that in a few years, when his younger siblings needed actual combat training, Fang Longhu would still be a good choice.

...

At nine in the evening, in the Hall Master's office on the twelfth floor of Starlight Guanshan Branch.

"You want to resign from Li Yuan's training?" Wan Qinghe looked at Longhu in confusion.

Previously, Longhu had reported to Instructor Xing.

But since January, under Wan Qinghe's orders, Longhu had been reporting Li Yuan's progress every half month.

"Hall Master."

"It's not that I don't want to continue, but I'm not qualified anymore," Longhu said helplessly. "Li Yuan's progress is too fast."

"His techniques far surpass mine, probably at the 300-point level in the meteor rank."

"His physical qualities, I estimate, are at least at 9.5 level," Longhu shook his head. "For Li Yuan's sake, Hall Master should assign a more skilled trainer."

Wan Qinghe was shocked.

300 points in the meteor rank? Physical qualities above level 9.5? Only a week after the invitation event, and Li Yuan had made such significant progress?

"Okay, you can go now. I'll find someone else."

...

At ten-thirty in the evening.

Li Yuan returned home. After washing up, he felt his smart wristband buzz.

"An email?"

Li Yuan clicked to check, "An email from Kunlun University?"
