"All right, since the competition is over, I'll be taking my leave."
The principal smiled amiably and turned to leave, even walking a bit hurriedly.
In fact, he had noticed something was amiss later on, but since he had bragged at the beginning about Lu Xiaobai knowing the [Coiling Dragon Force], denying it later would be like slapping his own face...
"Take care, Principal..."
Nangong Ling watched him leave, then turned her gaze to Lu Xiaobai with a look of suspicion.
It wasn't that she didn't believe the principal, but the problem was that this was too exaggerated. A high school senior mastering so many advanced star skills? Even sci-fi movies wouldn't dare to shoot it like this...
Most importantly, Lu Xiaobai didn't seem like a low-profile person. If he were really this strong, he would have bragged about it to the heavens long ago...
"Ahem... Teacher, announce the result..."
Lu Xiaobai noticed her suspicion and quickly urged,
"The principal is probably still watching from outside."
Hearing this, Nangong Ling could only suppress the doubts in her heart and said,
"I announce that student Lu Xiaobai has won first place in this month's practical combat test!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a message instantly appeared before Lu Xiaobai's eyes:
[Two-Star Task: Win first place in the practical combat test has been completed]
[Reward: Starry Sky Points * 2]
"It's here, it's here!"
Lu Xiaobai instantly beamed with a full smile.
As he had guessed, the number of stars a task had equaled the number of Starry Sky Points he would receive...
Now that he had the Starry Sky Points in hand, he couldn't wait to open his status panel and directly consumed one Starry Sky Point to upgrade the [Basic Body Refining Method]!
In an instant, an extremely profound power merged into his mind, pushing his understanding of the body refining method to the absolute limit!
At the same time, the level of the body refining method on his panel impressively showed that it was maxed out!
"Huh?"
Nangong Ling was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion.
Her gaze was fixed on Lu Xiaobai. She instinctively felt that he had undergone some sort of transformation, but she didn't know the exact situation...
If she had seen others with a max-level body refining method, she might have been able to guess a thing or two.
But unfortunately, in the entire Starlight Middle School, not even the strongest principal possessed a body refining method of this level.
"Is this the max-level body refining method?"
Lu Xiaobai spread his hands, his eyes full of pleasant surprise.
At this very moment, he clearly wasn't circulating the body refining method, yet he could still sense faint traces of invisible starry sky energy merging into his body, continuously strengthening his every cell.
"The body refining method changed to passive operation?"
He vaguely guessed the ultimate effect of the [Basic Body Refining Method]...
In the past, even a young master of the Lu family like him didn't know what this specific effect was. After all, Star Martial Artists wouldn't easily expose what star skills they had mastered, let alone the ultimate effect of a max-level star skill.
Of course, if he asked his old man, he would definitely get an answer, but he had always felt that he would never come into contact with any ultimate effects in his lifetime, so naturally, he had zero interest...
"All right, the practical combat is over. Arrange your own physical training for the remaining time."
At this moment, Nangong Ling took a deep look at Lu Xiaobai, then turned and left.
She was in a hurry to go back and look up some things, wanting to unravel the doubts in her heart...
Lu Xiaobai didn't care about what she was thinking and actively started his physical training.
The rest of the crowd also started training one after another.
Just as the teacher always said, they were learning for themselves, not for others...
Two hours later.
Lu Xiaobai's face was full of joy. In this short time, his vitality had actually improved significantly. Of course, this wasn't the effect of the physical training, but came from his max-level body refining method!
"To think it improved this much in just two hours..."
Lu Xiaobai calculated silently in his heart and muttered to himself,
"If it really improves continuously for twenty-four hours, then the effect of the max-level Basic Body Refining Method is roughly five times that of level four, which means a hundred and twenty times that of the level one body refining method!"
The corners of his mouth curled up. This was quite close to what he had guessed before.
However, the one thing he hadn't expected was that it would turn into a passive effect!
"In other words, even if I do absolutely nothing every day now, I can still get over a hundred times the improvement of an ordinary student..."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and continued,
"I wonder if I can still actively circulate the body refining method now."
His expression shifted slightly, planning to ask his old man when he got home, since information about the effects of a max-level body refining method was basically impossible to find on the internet.
"Young Master Lu, how does it feel to be in first place?"
Right at this moment, Liu Lin, who was previously ranked fifth in the class, spoke with a smile.
The other few people also had smiles on their faces, and at the same time, their eyes seemed to carry a hint of suggestion.
Lu Xiaobai naturally understood their meaning instantly and said,
"To the bros who fought me earlier, I will immediately transfer double the promised Alliance Coins to you. In addition, the rest of the classmates will also receive a three hundred Alliance Coin thank-you fee!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd cheered, their hearts instantly hit by a wave of joy.
For them, three hundred Alliance Coins was not a small sum. For a moment, they all felt that Lu Xiaobai was simply too generous, even wishing they could acknowledge him as their big boss on the spot.
Lu Xiaobai wore a smile. As a direct descendant of the Lu family, he naturally knew that money could easily buy people's hearts.
Of course, he wasn't giving it away for no reason. If similar tasks appeared later, it would be much easier for him to ask for their help. After all, taking someone else's money makes you beholden to them; this is an eternal truth...
At this moment, Lu Xiaobai was true to his word. He opened his chip network on the spot and transferred the Alliance Coins to them one by one.
His original living expenses of a hundred thousand instantly dropped by half.
But to him, it didn't matter at all.
After all, no matter how well he ate, it wouldn't bring him any improvement, but the improvement from this max-level body refining method was real...
"Everyone, see you tomorrow."
Lu Xiaobai waved at the crowd, turned around, and left the Star Martial Hall.
"Take care, Young Master Lu!"
The crowd responded one after another, all wearing enthusiastic smiles.
At this moment, in their eyes, Lu Xiaobai's back was no longer ordinary, but dyed in a brilliant golden light, with a giant gold ingot hovering over his head. His entire person had transformed into the God of Wealth from ancient legends...
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
