Chapter 4
The next day…
Lin Bai was full of energy again after a night of rest.
The fatigue in his body had also mostly dissipated.
This was the result of Mr. Lin taking him to the spa to soak in the medicinal bath.
It would be impossible for him to recover so quickly just by himself.
Nonetheless, this made things worse for his poor family.

Practicing martial arts required money in countless areas.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that improving one’s strength was a process that required a lot of money.
Lin Bai had no money.
He could only make an issue out of the system.
“I need to find someone to form a contract with.”
There were not many classes today, only one in the morning.
After that, Lin Bai could move around freely.
After finishing the class seriously, Lin Bai did not run to the free training area in the field, which was rare.
Instead, he strolled around the school.
He specifically walked toward places with many people.
Through the system’s judgment, everyone’s talent level was assessed.
This was similar to the classification of martial skill levels.
The highest was SSS, while the lowest was F.
It was reasonable to say that the higher one’s talent, the faster one’s cultivation would be, but that was only under the circumstances of putting in effort as well.
If one messed around every day, even if one’s talent was SSS, no matter how much time passed, one’s realm would not change.
Therefore, the level of one’s cultivation could not be the decisive factor in judging one’s talent.
They had to go through the system’s screening one by one.
Perhaps, there were people with ‘potential’ in the school!
With that hope, Lin Bai looked very carefully.
He was even more serious than when he was training.
In the end…
He found nothing!
The person with the best potential in the school was only a B, and he did not even work hard!
The standard was far from what he had expected.
Lin Bai had no intention of forming a contract.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a message from Xu Kun.
One was from yesterday.
One was from today.
[“Click to view picture” Brother! There are so many beautiful women in the First Academy! Quickly look! They’re all so pretty!]
[Where did you go, dude? I didn’t see you after class, and I didn’t see you in the training area. The message I sent you yesterday was also unseen!]
Lin Bai casually replied. [I’m at the school gate. What’s up?]
[F*ck you!]
Xu Kun replied very quickly as if he was full of resentment.
Lin Bai ignored him and continued to look at the crowd.
After a while, he saw his good brother’s figure.
Xu Kun punched Lin Bai in the chest.
“There’s something wrong with you, dude. You weren’t like this before. Did you run into something?”
“I didn’t.”
Lin Bai’s mind was on the contract, so he casually replied, “I’m looking for someone.”
“Looking for someone?” Xu Kun’s eyes lit up. “I thought your brain was only filled with learning and training! Spill the beans! Is it a girl? Is she pretty? Do I know her?”
“I don’t know,”
Lin Bai gave him the most nonsensical answer to the string of questions.
Unexpectedly, Xu Kun did not get angry.
Instead, he fell into deep thought.
“You’re not looking for love at first sight, are you?”
“…”
Lin Bai’s train of thought was cut off, and he had no choice but to look over. “What do you have to say? Say it, but I’m not going home with you today.”
“Who goes home so early?” Xu Kun rolled his eyes. “I’m going to the First Academy to find a chance to fulfill my dream. Are you interested in joining me?”
“No! Get lost! I’m not a pervert!”
“Forget it. You’ve seen all the videos I sent you in the past. Who are you trying to fool?”
“Seeing them by accident and looking at them by will are two different things!”
“Just tell me, are you going or not?”
Xu Kun put his arm around Lin Bai’s shoulder and said in a tempting tone, “The girls in the First Academy have been training and sparring like crazy for the past two days. They’re all wearing clothes that show off their figures, arms, and legs. It’ll be a feast for the eyes.”
Then, he paused and slowly added, “Don’t you like to exercise? Come with me to watch. They’re quite talented. They’re cool and fast when they fight. You might be able to learn a thing or two.”
Lin Bai was stunned.
‘Quite talented…’
That was right!
If the students of the Fifth Academy were not good enough, Lin Bai could just go to the First Academy and find someone to make a contract with!
Coincidentally, it was an open school day.
This was a ready-made opportunity!
Without any hesitation, Lin Bai agreed.
“Alright, I’ll go with you!”
Xu Kun was overjoyed when he heard this and pulled Lin Bai into a taxi.
“To the First Academy!”
…
The scenery outside the window kept changing.
In this new era where everyone valued martial arts, even the architectural style was very unique.
The sense of technology was getting lower.
What replaced it were all sorts of raw materials that did not need to be processed.
Everyone was pursuing a simple and quaint feeling, indirectly creating a city with a relatively slow pace of life.
The car stopped in front of the gate of the First Academy.
Lin Bai looked at the white jade courtyard gate that had merged with the towering trees.
Even though it was his second visit, he was deeply shocked.
‘God knows how much this thing is worth. If a piece of it was knocked off and sold, it might be worth a few years of income for an ordinary working family!’
Behind the gate, there was a huge lake, which was built into a water park for students to enjoy the scenery and cultivate their bodies and minds.
In terms of the environment and layout, the First Academy invested much more than the other academies.
There was an endless stream of tourists coming to visit.
Lin Bai took in everything.
Compared to the prosperity here, the Fifth Academy appeared somewhat dilapidated and depressed.
He crossed the lakeshore together with Xu Kun.
This was the teaching area of the First Academy.
Even so, there was a roadblock.
Only those with a student ID could enter. Those from other universities could enter as well.
A large number of passers-by stopped and sighed. They could only take photos as mementos.
Lin Bai and Xu Kun were naturally unimpeded.
“Let’s go, Big Bai! Let’s go and watch the beautiful girls fight!”
Xu Kun hit his palm with his fist, unusually excited as he led Lin Bai forward.
Sure enough, the First Academy was indeed full of beautiful women.
Moreover, their appearances were very distinctive, each with their own merits.
Xu Kun was making sounds all the way. When he saw those wearing short skirts, he was so excited that his eyes were fixed on them.
Despite that, on the whole, he was still restrained and did not make any noticeable movements.
Until…
He saw a young girl with two ponytails and a youthful spirit in the distance. He could not hold it in anymore.
“F*ck!
“Big Bai!
“Quickly look!
“There’s a beauty over there!!!
“A peerless beauty!!!”
Lin Bai was speechless.
‘This is so embarrassing. I really regret coming with you.’
If speechlessness and awkwardness could kill, Xu Kun would have died thousands of times by now.
Lin Bai could already imagine how the passing students would laugh at Xu Kun.
However, who would have thought that after hearing Xu Kun’s voice, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction he was pointing.
After that, they also started to make a big fuss!
“F*ck! It’s Senior Sister Su Zi from the First Academy!”
“F*ck! Her waist… Her legs… They must be fake! Even the girls in the f*cking anime aren’t that good!”
“F*ck! I actually met her here! My brother didn’t lie to me!”
“F*ck! She’s more beautiful than the other four campus belles combined! The people in the academy forum weren’t b*llshitting!”
