When Feng Yun returned to the base, it was already dusk.
As usual, he sold all the Ferocious Beast materials he obtained today at the Black Market guild. Because he had spent much time hunting solitary level-3 Ferocious Beasts, he only earned 200,000 yuan this time.
Even so, this was far more than ordinary people could make—there was no comparison.
"Still far from enough. To buy a house in the inner city, at least hundreds of millions are needed..."
Ferocious Beasts raged on; although base space remained unchanged, population steadily grew, driving housing prices sky-high. A normal house in the inner city cost over a hundred million yuan, not to mention the nicer villas.
Money alone wasn't enough to live there—you had to have sufficient strength too.
"I projected several level-3 Ferocious Beasts today, but none had Attribute Talents."
Feng Yun shook his head. As expected, Attribute Talents were rare here.
Back at the Welfare Institute, Feng Xiaolan saw him and hurried over quietly. "Feng Yun, a bald man claiming to be your homeroom teacher came looking for you."
Huh?
Feng Yun was surprised. What could he want? Didn't they agree? Had he changed his mind?
With these thoughts, Feng Yun entered the Welfare Institute, spotting the director entertaining Bald Master from afar.
Since Feng Yun anonymously donated 200,000 yuan, life here had noticeably improved. The director personally bought tea and snacks to entertain Bald Master.
Seeing Feng Yun, Bald Master stood awkwardly, recalling his recent crushing defeat.
Though a teacher for many years, it was his first time losing so thoroughly to a student, making him uneasy facing Feng Yun.
The director didn't notice and waved Feng Yun over. "Feng Yun, your homeroom teacher is here. You two can talk."
Then she told the teacher to stay for dinner and left to prepare it.
Only Feng Yun and Bald Master remained in the living room.
Bald Master understood Feng Yun's harsh upbringing and how remarkable it was to reach such levels under such conditions—a true genius.
He even felt Feng Yun would have a place among the many geniuses of the inner city.
"Teacher, what do you want with me?" Feng Yun asked.
Bald Master took out a finely packed box and handed it to Feng Yun. "This is a grant from the Principal—Third-rank Treasure Origin Pill."
Third-rank Treasure Origin Pill?
Feng Yun was surprised. He knew these pills were worth over a million yuan, rarely seen outside the inner city.
The pill helped temper the body, made from precious herbs and refined with Heaven and Earth Origin Power.
It was not very effective for Warriors but an immense tonic for those below Warrior level.
He hadn't expected the school to invest such resources in him—he was pleasantly surprised.
The Principal must be a man of vision.
Without hesitation, Feng Yun accepted the pill and looked Bald Master in the eye. "Thank you for the school's care. Please tell the Principal I won't forget him or the school."
He knew this message was meant for the Principal.
"Understood. You focus on your business. I'll leave now."
Bald Master felt uncomfortable under Feng Yun's sharp gaze and hurriedly left, not wanting to lose face again.
After watching Bald Master leave, Feng Yun didn't rush to swallow the pill. He tested it thoroughly—better safe than sorry.
Once confident it was genuine, he closed his door and swallowed the pill.
Boom!
The third-rank Alchemy Pill was incomparable to a first-rank one—once inside, Feng Yun felt an explosion like a tiny universe bursting.
His body flushed red and steamed like a lobster boiling in hot water.
Pain tore through every cell.
Damn, it hurt like hell!
Even with Feng Yun's tolerance, it was overwhelming. Still, he pressed on, practicing the Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique in his room.
One, ten, fifty, seventy, a hundred times...
He spent an entire night, finally digesting the pill's power fully after five hundred repetitions.
At that moment, he felt his bones had become incredibly hard, and his vitality had greatly strengthened.
"Bones hardened like steel."
Feng Yun inhaled excitedly. This was a sign of deep senior preparatory Warrior training—bones reinforced, piercing power immensely strong, able to withstand great force.
"Just need to finish refining my blood; then it's the Warrior realm!"
He muttered to himself.
But this final step was the hardest. Many stalled here, spending years, sometimes two or three, stuck.
Refining blood wasn't just increasing vitality but maintaining quality while increasing quantity.
This required painstaking gradual effort, unless one possessed legendary materials with no side effects.
Attribute Warriors had an edge here—they could purify vitality using Heaven and Earth Origin Power.
Feng Yun had a clear advantage but wasn't satisfied—he wanted more and higher Attribute Talents to speed up his cultivation.
