Class 8, Grade 10.
Returning to the classroom, the students enthusiastically gathered around Xu Zhou, chattering as they inquired about his talent.
Faced with these classmates, Xu Zhou had to spend quite some effort dealing with them one by one.
Returning to his seat, Xu Zhou couldn't help but sigh, being too popular isn't always a good thing!
The teacher's public praise, the fervent admiration of the classmates, the girls' secret glances... all of this made Xu Zhou feel a little dizzy.
If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, they might lose sight of their goals and forget their future.
Lost in this ephemeral illusion, they might briefly lose themselves.
But Xu Zhou forced himself to calm down.
"My talent, though impressive," Xu Zhou thought to himself, "actually requires a lot of cultivation resources!"
Whether for his own cultivation or the growth of the mutated sharktooth chicken, a lot of funds were needed.
Without money or resources, his cultivation speed might even be slower than an average person!
And the school's top 100 ranking is currently his only place to earn money.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhou glanced at Wen Yuehui at the desk next to him, "Ahui, do you know the rewards for the top 100 ranking?"
"Top 100 ranking?"
Wen Yuehui looked at him and then explained, "You're talking about the top 100 ranking for Grade 10, right? Getting on the list supposedly comes with a reward of three thousand bucks a month."
"Three thousand bucks a month!?" Xu Zhou held his breath.
That's equivalent to his stepmother's monthly salary!
Wen Yuehui seemed informed and continued, "I heard that students who make it to the top ten of the top 100 ranking can even receive an additional ten thousand Federation Coin reward and some very precious cultivation resources."
Ten thousand Federation Coin!
Hearing this, Xu Zhou was immediately shaken, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Ten thousand Federation Coin, just how much food could that buy!
It might even allow the mutated chicken to break through to rank 1, right?
Beside him, Wen Yuehui was taken aback by the look of desire on Xu Zhou's face.
"Xu Zhou, you aren't thinking about the top 100 ranking, are you?"
Wen Yuehui said seriously, "Even the Grade 10 top 100 ranking is not to be underestimated. Most of them have been cultivating since the ninth grade."
"Moreover, these people have basically mastered at least one martial arts technique and are very powerful, such that even some of the average Grade 11 students can't compete with them!"
"We, who haven't even touched on martial arts techniques, shouldn't think about challenging the top 100 ranking."
Wen Yuehui shook his head helplessly.
Xu Zhou was slightly taken aback; the so-called martial arts techniques naturally meant those for combat, referring to techniques such as saber techniques, swordsmanship, and spear techniques.
After cultivating martial arts techniques, combat power would greatly increase.
But for most students, just cultivating one "Basic Cultivation Method" is barely enough, and it's naturally impossible to cultivate more challenging martial arts techniques.
Of course, Xu Zhou hadn't cultivated them either.
"Martial arts techniques..." Xu Zhou mused to himself, "I have to cultivate a martial arts technique."
He currently had an avatar to help boost Qi-Blood, so there was no need to cultivate the basic method in his daily life.
Wouldn't the spare time be perfect for cultivating a martial arts technique?
In an instant, Xu Zhou had a clear plan for his future.
"Cultivate a martial arts technique, get onto the top 100 ranking!" Xu Zhou thought to himself.
Just then, a loud voice came from the classroom door, "Xu Zhou, come to my office!"
Xu Zhou's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked out.
...
Cao Yong's office.
"Xu Zhou." Cao Yong looked at him and said slowly, "I spoke very clearly about your talent today on the podium."
"I hope you don't become complacent and slack in your cultivation because of your talent."
"There are far too many talents in this world who never grow up!"
Xu Zhou's heart tightened, and he solemnly said, "Understood, teacher."
Cao Yong nodded and turned to take out three metal medicine bottles from the cabinet behind him.
"This is the double resource allocation I promised you, for this month."
Xu Zhou took them with delight.
"Primary cultivation potion." Xu Zhou looked at the metal bottles and thought to himself, "Each one is worth over a thousand dollars, but the price is secondary. The key is, they're not available on the market!"
Such potions are state-controlled items, usually only supplied to students.
Although the price is only over a thousand dollars, it looks cheap, but its actual value is far greater, and ordinary people with no channels can't buy it even with money.
Cao Yong took out three at once. If it weren't through internal channels, it might have cost him a fortune.
At this point, Cao Yong looked at the three metal bottles with a slight look of pain.
