"???"
Hearing this, Du An's face instantly went pale, and he even instinctively took a few steps back.
No, man, are you serious about this?
"Brother... Brother Lu, I know I offended you in the past, and I apologize. Please don't mess with me, okay? I'm really not that kind of person."
Du An had a miserable expression on his face, his heart filled with fear.
"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and come in!"
Lu Xiaobai frowned and waved him in, saying at the same time:
"Don't worry, it's definitely a good treasure!"
"..."
Du An became even more fearful, but seeing a hint of impatience in the other party's eyes, he could only bite the bullet and go in.
In this situation, it was damned if he did and damned if he didn't, so he might as well just face it...
"Brother Lu, let me just say this first, be gentle..."
"What the hell are you talking about!"
A hint of confusion appeared in Lu Xiaobai's eyes.
However, he didn't have time to think too much. Seeing the other party come in, he quickly closed the cubicle door.
At the same time, he took out a round ball from his hand. Instantly, a light screen appeared, covering the entire cubicle, and then disappeared.
"Don't worry, it's a basic jammer to prevent our conversation from being overheard."
"..."
Seeing this, Du An silently closed his eyes, looking as if he had accepted his fate.
Lu Xiaobai asked in puzzlement:
"Wait, I asked you to come in to look at a treasure. Why are you closing your eyes?"
"Brother, let's not play so pervertedly, okay..."
"No, what on earth are you talking about?"
Lu Xiaobai became even more confused and said:
"I asked you to come in to talk about serious business!"
"Serious business?"
Du An said with a bitter face:
"Brother, who talks about serious business in a toilet? I actually know what you want to do..."
"If you know, then why did you close your eyes?"
"I'm a little embarrassed..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? We're all men."
Lu Xiaobai shook his head in confusion, then opened his backpack.
"You even have professional tools?"
The corner of Du An's eyes twitched, and his scalp was about to explode.
Finally, under his terrified gaze, Lu Xiaobai took out an exquisitely designed... handgun from his backpack!
"Huh?"
Du An looked stunned and said in a surprised tone:
"Brother, is this the good treasure you wanted to show me?"
"What else? What did you think it was?"
"..."
Du An remained silent.
So it turned out his own thoughts were just dirty...
Lu Xiaobai didn't know what the other party was thinking. He picked up the handgun and explained in a low voice:
"The latest Class C seventh-generation laser gun on the market. It's incredibly powerful. If it hits a vital spot, it can instantly kill a Star Martial Artist with a vitality level below 30! And the charging cost isn't high, it only takes about 30,000 Alliance Coins to charge it once!"
"Kill a Star Martial Artist below level 30?!"
Du An instantly felt a tremendous chill, and his body stiffened.
His vitality was only at level 3.5. Facing this thing, wouldn't he drop dead from just a graze?
"Let me load it and demonstrate it for you!"
Lu Xiaobai picked up the laser gun and started to operate it directly.
"Brother, there's no need!"
Du An looked extremely terrified.
He figured there was no target to demonstrate on here...
"Never mind then, let's look at the other goods..."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled, then pulled something new out of his backpack.
"Class D Star Energy Explosive, single-use, blast radius of one thousand meters. It can severely injure a Star Martial Artist below level 10!"
"Poison-Devouring Liquid, colorless and odorless. Just one drop can make a Star Martial Artist below level 30 die instantly. This is a not-for-sale item of my Lu family. Ordinary people have never even seen it!"
"Star Energy Flame Blade, Class C quality. It can cut through defense armor of the same level and simultaneously enhance fire-attribute Star Skills!"
"..."
Looking at the rare items placed in front of him, Du An couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Brother Lu, I'm just a lowly intern Star Martial Artist. There's no need to waste such good things on me, right..."
Using these things to deal with him, wasn't the other party overestimating him a bit too much...
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said:
"It's worth it, absolutely worth it!"
"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it straight..."
Du An sighed, already resigning himself to being manipulated by the other party.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai no longer hesitated and said in a low voice:
"You can choose any one of these things to take away, but on the condition that you promise me one thing!"
This was Lu Xiaobai's true plan!
As the saying goes, when you eat someone's food, your mouth is short; when you take someone's things, your hands are soft. With these things, couldn't he easily control the other party...
"Ah?"
Du An was slightly taken aback and scratched his head, saying:
"Brother, you're not going to make me commit murder or arson, are you?"
"What are you thinking? I'm a good, law-abiding citizen!"
Du An instantly fell silent, muttering in his heart:
Would a law-abiding citizen carry these things around?
"Alright, I won't hide it anymore."
Lu Xiaobai said in a low voice:
"It's actually a small matter. In a few days, it will be our class's practical combat test, and I want to get a good grade..."
A moment later.
Du An completely understood. So the other party just wanted him to go easy on him during the practical combat...
"How about it? It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Lu Xiaobai said with a look of expectation.
"It's a small matter, I promise!"
Du An, however, didn't hesitate at all and agreed straight away.
In the past, he would have definitely refused such a thing. But now, Lu Xiaobai's status was too exaggerated, and most importantly, the deterrent power of these few items laid out before him was too great...
If he agreed, he could take one of them away.
If he didn't agree, who knew if the other party would use him to demonstrate the power of these things.
He didn't think his measly level 3.5 vitality could withstand these lethal weapons...
"Straightforward enough!"
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said:
"Pick one of these weapons!"
"Young Master Lu, I won't take the items, they are too precious!"
Du An shook his head and directly refused.
Whether it was the laser gun or the Poison-Devouring Liquid, their value was at least hundreds of thousands or even millions. Even the Star Energy Explosive, which looked like the most garbage item, was worth a lot. They were far from something a student like him dared to take.
What if the elders of the Lu family came knocking on his door afterwards, or if the other party was entrapping him? He would be finished...
Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said:
"These aren't rare goods. They're nowhere near as expensive as my flying machine."
"..."
Du An's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself:
The root of all evil, the rich second generation... No, the rich N-th generation!
"Old Du, it won't do if you don't take it. How can you do things for others without taking any benefits?"
Lu Xiaobai, worried that the other party was only pretending to agree, said firmly:
"Take it, be generous about it!"
Du An also understood this point. After thinking for a while, he said:
"I won't take the things, as long as Young Master Lu can promise me one thing!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"Wipe the slate clean regarding the mistakes I made against you in the past!"
"Huh? You've made mistakes against me?"
Lu Xiaobai's expression shook. He quickly took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Uh... I mean, I used to look down on poor students a lot..."
Du An hastily explained.
"Is that so?"
"Young Master Lu, I wasn't targeting you before..."
"I know. You just thought everyone else in the class was trash, and I was merely one of them."
"..."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
