If you want to drive the flying vehicle in the future, just say so. Can you stop calling it 'little baby'?
Lu Xiaobai shot Xiao Lei a dissatisfied glare and then said,
Let's go.
Since there was no evening self-study today, there naturally wasn't any hot spring bonus either...
Just as he and the siblings, Lin Xue'er and Xiao Lei, were about to leave, they saw a male student with a resolute look on his face walking over.
Hmm? Jiang Yi?
Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Jiang Yi's face was expressionless as he calmly said,
Brother Lu, you gave me too much. I only showed you the way; it wasn't worth twenty thousand!
Besides The Pig, Cow, and Sheep Trio, Jiang Yi and the others had also guided the way for him. Lu Xiaobai naturally paid them too, just not as much as thirty thousand.
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said,
If I think it's worth it, then it's worth it!
Jiang Yi, however, frowned slightly and said,
But I don't think it's worth it. I've already refunded fifteen thousand to you.
...
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai's eye twitched.
Seriously man, are you that stubborn? I gave you the money. Even if it's a lot, you should just take it. It's not like it's a bad thing for you...
He had never met someone like this before and was left somewhat speechless for a moment.
Jiang Yi didn't pay any mind to his expression. He turned around to leave, but as if suddenly remembering something, he said sincerely,
Thank you, Brother Lu.
With that, he turned and walked toward a quiet corner of the Star Martial Arts Hall to continue his physical training...
Brother Lu, don't mind him. Jiang Yi is just like that.
Xiao Lei, who seemed to understand him a bit, smiled and said,
To put it nicely, he has his own set of principles. To put it bluntly, he's just stubborn as a mule!
...
Lu Xiaobai chuckled, his eyes showing that he didn't mind too much.
Although this guy was inflexible, his mindset was extremely resolute. After all, not everyone could resist the temptation of Alliance credits...
By the way, school's out. Why hasn't he left yet?
He looked toward Jiang Yi, who was still practicing, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Brother Lu, you haven't been in our class for long, so you don't know him well yet.
At this moment, a hint of admiration appeared in Xiao Lei's eyes as he smiled and said,
Our school day ends at six o'clock, but his ends after midnight...
That late?
Lu Xiaobai looked taken aback and asked,
During this whole time, he's just doing high-intensity physical training in the Star Martial Arts Hall?
Exactly.
Xiao Lei nodded, then lowered his voice,
He only sleeps four hours a day. The rest of the time, he's either doing physical training or studying the basic body-tempering method. They say he started this routine back in elementary school. Before he even had access to body-tempering methods, he was already doing constant physical training.
For over ten years?
Lu Xiaobai's expression shifted in shock, surprise filling his eyes.
Pretty much.
Xiao Lei explained from the side,
His family background is ordinary. If he wants to improve his vitality, this is the only way he can do it.
Although the effects of physical training couldn't compare to body-tempering methods, nor were they as good as various supplements and nutrient fluids, such high-intensity training, accumulated over a long period, was still extremely useful for increasing vitality.
Xiao Lei continued,
If we put in ninety-nine percent effort to get into the elite class, he put in a thousand percent effort!
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai took a deep look at Jiang Yi in the corner.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to go to such lengths. This was truly a case of 'as long as studying doesn't kill you, study yourself to death'...
Let's go. We shouldn't disturb him.
Lu Xiaobai didn't ask anything else and left the Star Martial Arts Hall with Lin Xue'er and her brother.
A few minutes later,
Brother Lu, my sister and I are going to Excellence Star Martial Arts Hall today to practice actual combat. Could you give us a ride on the way?
Xiao Lei said with a cheeky grin.
Even though there was no evening self-study today, the siblings still had their own study plans.
No problem.
Lu Xiaobai didn't mind at all.
Since school ended early today anyway, he had nothing else to do...
By the way, your practical combat scores are quite good. Is there really a need to go to a Star Martial Arts Hall for extra tutoring?
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Did even the top two academic achievers in the grade need extra tutoring?
Uh... well, we haven't gotten perfect scores yet, have we?
Xiao Lei scratched his head and said,
Besides, the sparring partners there are pretty good. They're all Junior Star Martial Artists above level 10. Sparring with them offers a huge improvement.
Lu Xiaobai didn't say anything more upon hearing this.
In just about ten minutes,
The three of them rode the flaming flying vehicle and arrived in front of a luxuriously decorated building. The words 'Excellence Star Martial Arts Hall' were boldly displayed on it!
Thanks, Brother Lu.
Xiao Lei chuckled, then prepared to get off the flying vehicle.
At this moment, however, Lu Xiaobai didn't speak. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked inside the main doors of the martial arts hall.
What's wrong?
Lin Xue'er and her brother looked bewildered. Following his gaze, they looked over.
They saw three people gathered inside the martial arts hall, seemingly arguing about something.
A refined-looking middle-aged man in a suit said with a cold expression,
Zhao Guangming, you are no longer a part of our Excellence Star Martial Arts Hall. Leave immediately, or I really will notify the Security Bureau!
Manager Wang, settle all my wages, and I won't interfere with your business!
A young man with an angry face stared straight at the middle-aged man in front of him.
Wang Ren narrowed his eyes and said coldly,
Your wages have already been settled in full long ago!
Hearing this, Zhao Guangming's face grew even more furious as he said,
According to the contract we signed, I'm supposed to get seventy percent of the sparring fees paid by the clients. But every time, you only gave me fifty percent. You secretly deducted twenty percent of my wages, and this has gone on for five whole years!
Give me back the money that belongs to me!
By privately asking the clients about their sparring fees, you have already violated our martial arts hall's employee code of conduct!
Wang Ren's expression turned even colder.
I was already being lenient by not holding you accountable, yet you actually dare to come asking me for money. Do you really think our Excellence Star Martial Arts Hall has no way of dealing with you?
Zhao Guangming glared fiercely at him and spat,
Bullshit! If I didn't ask the clients about the sparring fees, how would I have known that you dog had been eating up my wages for all these years!
Hmm?
Hearing the other party dare to curse at him so brazenly, Wang Ren's face instantly darkened. He said slowly,
If you really think you're in the right, you can go sue me at the Federal Court anytime. But let me remind you, this kind of thing takes time and money. Do you really think a lowly sparring partner with no background like you can outlast our Excellence Star Martial Arts Hall?
Furthermore, let me give you another warning. With just one word from me, no other Star Martial Arts Hall in all of Starlight City will ever dare to hire you. You'd better not cut off your own path of retreat!
You?!
Zhao Guangming's weak spot was instantly hit, his eyes filling with a sense of stifled grievance.
If you know what's good for you, get out on your own!
Manager Wang waved his hand as if swatting away a fly, mocking at the same time:
"If you dare pull this malicious wage-demanding crap again, don't blame me for forgetting our past relationship."
Hearing these words, Zhao Guangming felt a rush of pure rage shoot straight to the top of his skull. Completely losing his mind, he charged forward and dropped the man to the ground with a single punch, roaring,
"Demand my fucking ass!"
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.

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?!
