Evolving infinitely from ground zero

The school trial finally came to an end.

Aside from Shen Qinghan, who came in second, the rest of the top 10 were all taken by new students from the regular classes.

As a result, every new student from the internal school districts’ regular classes pilfered nine credits each.

That’s basically like getting handed 90,000 yuan for free.

Some of the regular class new students from less affluent backgrounds blushed with excitement.

Under the impact of 90,000 yuan, they looked up to Lin Zichen with admiration and became his most loyal fans.

The more extroverted among them even went so far as to call him “Lord Chen” eagerly, as if they were ready to kneel and acknowledge him as their godfather on the spot.

Lin Zichen paid no attention to the cheers around him.

At the moment, he was tallying up the benefits he had gained from participating in the school trial in his mind.

The top 10 credits totaled up to 550 credits.

Adding the nine credits he received for being a new student from the regular classes brings the total to 559 credits.

Additionally, there were the ten Qi-Blood Pills from Liu Chuanwu.

And one credit can essentially be used as 10,000 yuan.

559 credits would then equal 5.59 million yuan.

This one battle had made him directly rich.

In the time that followed.

The top ten of the school trial proceeded to the stage to receive honors and take photos with the school leaders.

As the newly crowned king of the newcomers, Lin Zichen received not only a 100 credits reward but also an additional champion trophy.

The trophy was made of special alloy, heavy and looked exquisite.

But it wasn’t worth any money, serving only as a memento.

After the photographs were taken.

Lin Zichen had the other top ten new students transfer their credits to him through the school’s app.

Shen Qinghan also opened the app to transfer credits, but Lin Zichen told her there was no need and asked her to keep the 90 credits she earned for coming in second for herself.

Seeing Lin Zichen say this, Shen Qinghan didn’t make a fuss and kept the credits for her personal use.

She wouldn’t just take those 90 credits without giving something back – she would compensate Lin Zichen in another way in the future.

Not far away, Liu Chuanwu saw Lin Zichen collecting transferred credits from others, which reminded him of the bet he made with his colleagues.

He looked towards the other school leaders and reminded them, “Don’t forget about our bet, everyone. Lin Zichen has won the title of the top newcomer, so you can transfer the credits you owe me through the school app now.”

“Rest assured, you won’t be shortchanged.”

“It’s just 100 credits, I’m transferring them to you right now.”

Everyone honored their bets promptly, transferring the agreed credits to Liu Chuanwu without any delay.

Seeing 1,900 credits deposited into his account, Liu Chuanwu couldn’t stop smiling.

With this large amount of credits, he wouldn’t have to worry about providing Lin Zichen with triple benefits for a good while.

Noticing his arch rival smiling so jubilantly, Ma Zhenhe felt displeased and couldn’t resist saying, “President Liu, I’d advise you not to be too smug.”

“Becoming the top newcomer in the school trial just means having a physically strong body. When the others advance further with their Genetic Fusion and mechanical enhancements, the power structure will undergo a great shift.”

“In next semester’s newcomer competition, whether it’s Li Moyu or Weiwei, they will easily crush him as long as Lin Zichen continues on the Pureblood Human Path.”

After Ma Zhenhe finished, he added, “Song Yuyan is an example, and Lin Zichen is nothing but an upgraded version of her.”

Seeing him constantly using Song Yuyan as a negative example, President Liu frowned slightly, feeling displeased.

But remembering the 1,900 credits he had just earned, his mood vastly improved and he couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Ma Zhenhe.

Soon after, Liu Chuanwu went over to Lin Zichen, gave him the ten Qi-Blood Pills they had previously discussed, and decided to advance all the triple benefits for the entire semester to him at once.

The benefits included various items like credits, Exotic Beast Meat, scholarships, and so on.

For convenience, Liu Chuanwu converted these benefits into credits and transferred 300 credits to Lin Zichen.

With these 300 credits included, Lin Zichen’s student account now totaled 769 credits.

Now that he had so many credits, Lin Zichen immediately opened the school’s app mall to see what he could purchase.

But before he had the chance to look, Liu Chuanwu said he wanted to discuss something with him and asked for a word in private.

Picking a spot nearby, they went up to the rooftop of the sports hall to talk.

After telling Shen Qinghan to head back first, Lin Zichen quickly followed Liu Chuanwu to the rooftop.

As soon as they arrived, Liu Chuanwu, with a face full of curiosity, couldn’t wait to ask, “Zi Chen, you were too strong in the opening trial of the semester. How much strength did you hide?”

“I hid a little.”

“What’s your real level?”

“Ordinary Sixth Order, one Tempering Skin session, a bit of muscle conditioning on the face, and naturally hard facial bones.”

“You’ve actually learned Tempering Flesh?!”

Liu Chuanwu was shocked, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and then he was incredibly excited.

To learn Tempering Flesh just after starting school!

Lin Zichen’s compatibility with the Blood Tempering Technique was unbelievably high!

There really was hope for the Pureblood Human Path to make a breakthrough!

No!

It was definitely going to break through!

Liu Chuanwu, who had devoted his life to researching the Pureblood Human Path, had never been as excited as he was today.

After calming his emotions slightly, he earnestly said to Lin Zichen, “Before today, I would have said you had a good chance of evolving into an Advanced-level Creature with the body of a Pure Blood Human.”

“But now, I can say with certainty that you can evolve into an Advanced-level Creature before you graduate from university with the body of a Pure Blood Human!”

“You must persevere on the Pureblood Human Path, and you will surely achieve great things in the future!”

“Don’t worry, President, I will,” replied Lin Zichen confidently.

They chatted briefly.

Soon, Lin Zichen left the rooftop and returned to Shen Qinghan’s dormitory.

There was just one thing he wanted to do right away—shop in the school’s app marketplace.

And just as he left, Yuan Dongzhi appeared on the rooftop right after him.

“This new student of yours, Lin Zichen, is hiding many secrets. His true strength may be far greater than what he showed in the opening trial,” Yuan Dongzhi walked up to Liu Chuanwu and said.

Liu Chuanwu chuckled, “What genius doesn’t have secrets? Li Moyu from the Capital City has them, Ma Zhenhe’s daughter has them, and your newly accepted cheaper disciple surely has them too. What’s so strange about that?”

Yuan Dongzhi: “True.”

With his hands clasped behind his back, Liu Chuanwu said, “On the path of evolution, those who can succeed are all complex in their own right, and those without secrets simply can’t grow.”

As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Dongzhi, his gaze somewhat profound, “Your casual use of spiritual power to probe Lin Zichen’s body on the Martial Stage earlier is a very offensive act. If it had been in the past, that would have meant a fight to the death.”

Yuan Dongzhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, “You could tell I was using spiritual power to probe him?”

Liu Chuanwu didn’t explain but simply snorted coldly, “Yuan Dongzhi, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t be too aggressive, or sooner or later, disaster will strike.”

Yuan Dongzhi ignored the advice, speaking indifferently, “Gathering tonight?”

“Too busy.”

“There’s money in it.”

“At your place or mine?”

Liu Chuanwu instantly asked with a smile on his face.

In a certain dormitory at the school.

Lu Gang and Wang Shujie were together, discussing how to make Li Moyu swallow that high-grade demon seed.

The two racked their brains for a long time, but couldn’t come up with a good plan.

Force was definitely not an option.

Because they simply couldn’t beat him.

As for temptation…

Li Moyu was the young master of the Jingdu Li Family; he had everything he wanted and couldn’t be tempted.

While the two were taxing their brains, thinking hard,

their special watches suddenly displayed a dense block of text.
