Chapter 79 Great Sun Burning Heaven Palm - Ancient Golden Crow! Jiang Yunxin - Favorability Target Reached
Soon, Jiang Yunxin came out.
As she walked out, she was talking to several female classmates beside her.
Zhang Yan excitedly gestured with the famous hand sign while pulling the person away.
Yang Xin followed behind Jiang Yunxin, and when they saw Zhou Chengjie, the two nodded to each other.
Jiang Yunxin exchanged a few words with Yang Xin, then turned around, her gaze sweeping over the group of people and landing directly on Su Chen.
She took a step forward, a half-smile playing on her lips: "My understanding of you before was based solely on your nickname."
His eyes held a clear hint of inquiry: "How come you've improved so much this time?"
Su Chen laughed: "Did your homeroom teacher mention me too?"
Jiang Yunxin paused for a moment, tilting her head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Hmm. How did you know?"
Zhang Yan, who was standing to the side, spoke up before Su Chen could.
"Our homeroom teacher mentioned him too! He has such a loud voice, the whole floor can hear him!"
"Old Zhang used Su Chen as an example and gave us a severe dressing-down!!"
As Jiang Yunxin listened, she couldn't help but laugh. She could roughly imagine the scene...
However, she didn't pursue the topic further. Having laughed enough, she turned to the main point: "Zhang Yan said you're planning to discuss sharing beast taming?"
She paused, then crossed her arms back over her chest and asked directly, "So... who will be the Master?"
The air in the corridor paused for a moment.
Su Chen glanced at Zhou Chengjie.
Zhou Chengjie hesitated for a moment.
His gaze swept across the ground, then he looked up, his tone becoming more serious: "With our results, we definitely want to pursue a beast with lord-level bloodline."
"And everyone surely understands how much it costs to raise a beast with lord-level bloodline."
"To be honest, even if all of us top students combined, we might not be able to raise one properly."
"Therefore, everyone needs to understand the importance of cooperation!"
"As for who makes the decision—" He paused, his gaze shifting from Jiang Yunxin's face to Su Chen's, "that's the key point we need to discuss."
Jiang Yunxin blinked. Without pausing, she said directly, "In terms of scores alone, only Wang Yichuan occasionally scores slightly higher than me."
"But my true strength lies in practical combat assessments! Only very powerful beast tamers can provide me with effective assistance."
.
Her tone was so frank it was almost direct: "So I'm definitely going to fight for it. I've already discussed it with a few friends!"
"Let's be direct. Besides me, who else wants to compete?"
The corridor was quiet for about two seconds.
Jiang Yunxin is just that kind of person.
No beating around the bush, no probing, no preamble, just ask directly.
Her bright eyes looked exceptionally serious, not aggressive, but never yielding.
Su Chen did not speak immediately.
Zhou Chengjie smiled, his smile devoid of any competitive intent, and said frankly, "I also intend to compete."
After he finished speaking, he and Jiang Yunxin both looked at Su Chen.
Lin Xiyue stood beside Su Chen, her fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes.
She raised her light brown eyes, looked at Su Chen, then at Jiang Yunxin and Zhou Chengjie.
She hesitated for a moment, her lips moving slightly...
Just now in the classroom, the three of them clearly agreed that she should fight for it.
Although she wasn't the type to put herself in the spotlight, she felt it wouldn't be appropriate to remain silent at this moment.
Just as she was about to speak, Su Chen raised his hand to indicate that she didn't need to.
Su Chen took half a step forward, his tone unhurried: "To tell you the truth..."
"In our small circle of four, I hope Wang Yichuan and Lin Xiyue will compete to see who wins. The winner will go for the Lord-level bloodline beast. As a second-best option, they might get the Leader-level bloodline."
"Then, I will definitely do my utmost to nurture him!"
"If it were truly a circle of our three parties raising a tamed beast, to be honest, I would rather devote myself entirely to nurturing Xiao Zi."
The air was silent for about three seconds.
Zhou Chengjie's expression did not change much.
He even nodded slightly after listening to Su Chen's words.
Jiang Yunxin's reaction was also calm. She did not immediately refute, nor did she show any displeasure.
Her gaze lingered on Su Chen's face for two seconds, then she tilted her head slightly.
She and Zhou Chengjie were able to achieve outstanding results in practical assessments and gain a foothold in the No. 1 High School, where top students abound, not only because of their fists.
People who are not mature enough have long been eliminated in high-pressure assessments.
There is no such thing as getting angry over a minor disagreement when discussing serious matters.
Jiang Yunxin said earnestly, "You see, your team also wants to train its own beast tamers. Zhou Chengjie and I aren't pushovers either, and we don't want to withdraw from the competition. So it's really difficult for the three of us to cooperate deeply!"
Su Chen nodded.
Everyone was very honest.
After a brief silence, Zhou Chengjie said, "We can make a bet to see who gets the lord-level bloodline first, and that person wins everything."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Jiang Yunxin suddenly smiled.
She turned to look at Su Chen, and said with interest, "I heard you made a bet with Guo Hao from Class 5?"
Su Chen nodded: "Okay! It's a speed contest, one month to decide."
Jiang Yunxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Of course she knew who Guo Hao was, and she also knew the gap between Su Chen and Guo Hao.
When this topic came up, Su Chen suddenly laughed.
He continued in a casual tone, "To be honest, if I had three months, I might make a bet with you. A bet on who gets a lord-level bloodline beast first. Whoever wins, the team trains their beast!"
Jiang Yunxin raised her eyebrows even higher.
"Three months?" she repeated the number. "You want to surpass me and Zhou Chengjie, and even Wang Yichuan and Lin Xiyue from your team?"
Su Chen shrugged: "Yes!"
Jiang Yunxin stared into his eyes for a long time.
It was as if they were trying to find a trace of a joke in Su Chen's eyes.
Not found!
A smile suddenly appeared on her lips, a smile born of intrigue: "You're really confident! I'm curious why you're so confident."
She paused, then lowered her voice: "Could it be—that?"
Su Chen understood immediately.
Yang Xin and Jiang Yunxin were clearly part of the seven-person team that discovered the Overlord Fruit.
Su Chen and Zhang Yan had been in contact recently, so it wasn't difficult for them to guess.
Su Chen did not deny it, saying, "It can only be considered one of the factors."
"Although you may have already reached the threshold of the Acupoint Opening Realm and seem to be ahead by a considerable margin, if you give me three months, I am truly confident in that ability!!"
Jiang Yunxin stared at him for a while longer.
It's only natural for someone with her achievements to be arrogant.
Especially considering her personality! Her outstanding performance in the actual combat assessment relied on her solid punches and judgment.
Su Chen told him to his face: "Give me three months and I can surpass you!"
Even if this person improves by more than two hundred places in a week, they still have to fight for their pride!
"I heard you gambled a million with Guo Hao?" she suddenly asked. "He gambled with you for a month."
77
Jiang Yunxin's lips curved into a smile, her competitive spirit clearly being piqued.
"To be honest, I'd like to challenge your three-month bet!"
Zhang Yan grew increasingly anxious as she listened.
She looked at Su Chen, then at Jiang Yunxin, nervously rubbing her hands together in front of her, and finally couldn't help but squeeze forward half a step.
"Yunxin! Su Chen! Can you two please calm down and have a proper conversation?"
Su Chen simply shrugged, his tone calm: "There's nothing we can do. This kind of thing involves a conflict of interest, and some minor disagreements are normal."
Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Jiang Yunxin suddenly burst out laughing.
She stretched, looked at Su Chen again, blinked, and her tone returned to the slightly languid tone she had when they first met: "If your four-person team really obtains a lord-level bloodline, can you afford to support them?"
Su Chen did not answer immediately.
He lowered his head, pretending to reach into his shirt pocket, and pulled out two items.
Bone-Sculpting Pill!
The Enlightenment Fruit is a spiritual fruit shaped like a small gourd.
He hasn't even eaten the Enlightenment Fruit himself!
But... the atmosphere is right, it's time to show off our financial resources.
He raised his hand and threw the Bone-Sculpting Pill at Wang Yichuan.
Wang Yichuan instinctively reached out and caught it.
The moment the pill landed in his palm, a refreshing, herbal fragrance wafted out. He glanced down at it, his pupils dilating slightly.
"Top-grade elixirs?"
"Um!"
Su Chen's response was brief, and his tone was as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Then he turned around and handed the small gourd-shaped Enlightenment Fruit to Lin Xiyue.
The small gourd has a warm, light brown color and looks unremarkable, but those in the know understand that this quality of Enlightenment Fruit is simply not found on the market.
"This Enlightenment Fruit is even more special; use it during your critical breakthrough period."
Lin Xiyue was staring at the Enlightenment Fruit, somewhat lost in thought.
Her fingers clenched lightly at the hem of her dress, and in her light brown eyes, complex thoughts rippled like waves on a lake...
Hearing Su Chen's words, she snapped out of her reverie and whispered, "Okay—"
Jiang Yunxin watched this scene in silence for a moment.
She suddenly smiled.
"Alright! When it comes to wealth and generosity, I really can't beat you."
She finally understood that Su Chen was genuinely good to those around him.
No wonder he has such a good reputation among students in many regular classes, and no wonder Wang Yichuan and Lin Xiyue listen to Su Chen.
That's extravagant, she really can't do it!
Zhou Chengjie was also stunned.
Looking at these two things, his lips moved, but ultimately turned into a bitter smile.
Okay! Money talks!
Zhang Yan stood to the side, her lips pouting higher and higher.
Her cheeks were puffed out roundly, making her look just like a hamster whose nuts had been stolen.
Waaah~
Why is my bone-shaping pill part of a bet?
What a despicable guy!
Next training session, I'm going to kill you!!!
She cursed Su Chen in her mind a dozen times, but said nothing aloud. She was sensible enough to know what to do at this time.
She took a deep breath and said, "Everyone's gone, aren't we going to the playground?"
Zhou Chengjie came to his senses.
"Haha~ Yeah! We were supposed to train, but we totally went off on a tangent!" He slapped the back of his head, a self-deprecating laugh in his voice. "Let's go, let's hurry up, or we won't be able to get good spots!"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's practice and get to know each other better. In a few days, we can go out and train together."
Upon hearing about the training, Zhou Chengjie immediately perked up: "Sure! When?"
"It's hard to say. Let's discuss a time together in three or four days."
While Su Chen was talking, she noticed something unusual when her gaze swept over Jiang Yunxin.
Jiang Yunxin's favorability level: Iv5
Status: Available for contract (Time limit: 5 days)
Strength Level: Third Realm - Acupoint Opening Realm (61 acupoints)
Pet Energy Points - Acquisition Speed: 73 points/day Skills:
Great Sun Burning Heaven Palm Iv1 (892/1000): A fire-type inherited spiritual skill, originating from the ancient Golden Crow lineage. It uses spiritual energy to unleash the blazing true fire of the sun, transforming it into a gigantic palm that blots out the sky. Wherever the palm wind reaches, it burns gold and melts stone. Its power increases exponentially with the increase of proficiency.
Flame Fist Lv3 (1825/3000): A high-level fire-type fighting technique. It infuses fire-attribute spiritual energy into the fists, imbuing the fists with scorching flames. Upon hitting the target, the flames can penetrate the body, causing continuous burning damage. At its highest level, the heat wave arrives before the fist even touches the target, leaving the opponent burned before the fist even touches the fist.
Fire Manipulation Iv3 (2350/3000): A basic fire manipulation spell that allows you to control surrounding fire spirits for your own use.
Azure Cloud Footwork 1v5 (1620/5000): A high-level movement technique that uses spiritual energy to drive footwork, making the body as graceful and agile as flowing clouds. It has extremely fast short-range burst speed and excellent endurance for long-range attacks.
Overlord Body Technique Iv3 (2988/3000): A passive skill that greatly enhances physical strength and resilience after cultivation.
With each level advancement, the Strength attribute permanently increases.
Ah? ? ?
Su Chen was stunned!
This... I've had very little contact with Jiang Yunxin, you could even say we've only spent an hour together!
Why did it reach LV5 favorability?
He was filled with doubt and began to think quickly.
Could it be that... my interpretation of favorability needs further correction?
He thought about it carefully.
He made very little of his own appearance in front of Jiang Yunxin.
Only... just now, Wang Yichuan and Lin Xiyue were each given a precious resource.
..
That is, it left a first impression.
With this thought in mind, Su Chen finally understood.
"My small gesture might have led her to interpret it in multiple ways!"
"She must have approved of me because of this action, and thought I had excellent character?"
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but ponder.
To be honest, half of the reason he did that was because of his pride.
He was truly heartbroken to give away a Fruit of Enlightenment.
There are three in total, and he hasn't eaten any yet!
However, it was only because there were three that he was willing to give them away.
Moreover, his team now needs Lin Xiyue to save face and compete for the Lord-level bloodline beast taming!
Moreover, he still needs to form a contract with Lin Xiyue later, so if he doesn't work on building up his favorability now, when will he?
Reaching Iv9 is definitely a huge win.
The extra pet energy points earned each day are enough to make up for the losses.
This is an economic calculation, and he understands it perfectly well!
"In any case, this action actually won Jiang Yunxin's favor."
"This is absolutely a huge profit! A massive win!"
"It also shows that a favorability rating of Iv5 doesn't require a long period of interaction. This can be seen from my previous performance in the practical assessment, where I dominated the competition and won over many fans!"
"This is absolutely a good thing for me!"
Su Chen took another closer look at Jiang Yunxin's skills and was shocked.
Her martial arts skills are clearly very focused, independent, and born for battle!
Upon seeing her Iv3 Overlord Body Technique, Su Chen couldn't help but think: She's probably someone who ate another Overlord Fruit!
However, her major is fire, which does conflict with the Overlord Fruit.
But despite the conflict, the mythical spirit fruit is not as domineering as the spirit pearl.
Moreover, the Queen Fruit improves physical fitness and can be considered a general remedy.
Su Chen pondered silently.
Should we sign a contract with Jiang Yunxin next week?
If we make a contract with her, her grades in basic subjects like strength and speed definitely won't improve.
If you're going to train, you have to train fire-based martial arts!
The Great Sun Burning Heaven Palm! ! !
This is worth as much as 3000 in the points mall!
Wang Yichuan's Seven Star Fist only has a range of five hundred.
Leaving no trace in the snow, that's six hundred!
"So it actually originates from the ancient Golden Crow lineage? Interesting!"
If you want to learn advanced fire-based martial arts, the first step is to learn fire control techniques!
Su Chen's current predicament is...
He hasn't even reached the Opening Acupoint Realm yet.
It's difficult to find time to learn advanced martial arts techniques right now.
"The key to martial arts skill lies in its refinement, not its quantity!"
"I feel like we could hone the Overlord Body Technique, Mountain-Splitting Fist, and Shadowless Step more. But there aren't any suitable candidates for them yet..."
