"Next, please fill out this form." Aisha placed two forms in front of Jiang Yuan and Lin Qingyan. Neither of them said anything, picking up their pens and starting to fill them out. After Lin Qingyan finished writing, she glanced at Jiang Yuan's form. As expected, he was a high school student taking the college entrance exam, just like her. Class 3 of High School No. 1, wasn't that a regular class? When did a guy like this appear in a regular class? Aisha brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them, saying gently, "No need to rush, take your time writing."
"Have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat here?" Aisha was not stingy with her kindness.
Given the talent they had shown, becoming top-tier powerhouses was only a matter of time.
There's a saying that goes well in the God-Forsaken Era: the best investment is to latch onto a Genius's leg, especially before they rise.
"No need," Jiang Yuan said, handing over the form, "This should be fine."
"So your father is in the military, but I don't remember any commander named Jiang in Nanjiang City," Aisha said, thinking for a moment.
"My dad isn't a commander; he's just a sentry responsible for standing guard."
Aisha was stunned.
A sentry? Can an ordinary family from a sentry background afford supplements and cultivation methods?
How on earth did they manage to cultivate such a Genius?
Lin Qingyan was also observing Jiang Yuan from the side, becoming more surprised the more she looked.
His breathing rhythm was too perfect, his aura was restrained and smooth; without careful observation, one couldn't feel the fluctuation of his blood energy at all, not even the four prodigies in the S-Class could reach this level.
Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Qingyan, their eyes meeting again.
"You've been looking at me since just now, is there something?"
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Lin Qingyan's face as she averted her gaze, adjusted the brim of her hat, and said indifferently, "Nothing. I'm just a little curious how an Assassin with an E-Rank Talent managed to deal over forty thousand damage. As far as I know, there should only be four people with S-Class Talent in Martial Arts High School..."
"Jiang student," Aisha said, looking at the form, unable to help herself, "Did you write your talent incorrectly? It says E Level on here..."
"It's not wrong, I awakened an E-Rank Talent."
Jiang Yuan admitted it openly.
Aisha was dumbfounded.
Lin Qingyan was also clearly stunned for a moment.
E... E-Rank Talent?
Even with her experience, she found it somewhat unbelievable at this moment.
An Assassin with an E-Rank Talent achieved forty thousand damage after job changing... Are you kidding me?!
Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't seem to be joking, Aisha couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"What a pity."
You know, if a job-changed Martial Artist's profession is average, it's still manageable, but if their talent is poor, then they are destined to be unable to become a powerhouse.
As for top-tier powerhouses, both talent and profession need to be outstanding!
"The procedures have been completed, and the one hundred thousand yuan subsidy will be transferred to your cards later."
...By the time Jiang Yuan and Lin Qingyan walked out of the Martial Artist Association, the rain in the sky had stopped.
Steel skyscrapers lined both sides of the street, huge light screens on the buildings played advertisements for new types of potions and smart home appliances, flying vehicles shuttled high in the sky, and neon reflections on the ground puddles were full of dreamy colors.
Not far away, there were roadside barbecue restaurants where some office workers were drinking and chatting.
Taking a deep breath of the fresh post-rain air and looking at the scene before her, Lin Qingyan felt a rare sense of nostalgia.
She hadn't seen such a sight since the college entrance exam in her previous life...
Thinking of the disaster that would sweep through millions of people not long after.
Lin Qingyan lowered her head, her exquisite little face under the brim of her hat shrouded in a haze.
She knew what would happen, but with her current strength, she couldn't stop it at all.
Saying it out loud wouldn't work either; Lin Qingyan herself couldn't predict what kind of impact it would have if it changed the trajectory of fate.
For the future of all humanity, the only thing she could do was to become stronger as quickly as possible.
Sensing the change in her atmosphere, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at her more.
Lin Qingyan put on the hood of her hooded jacket, hands in her coat pockets, walking alone and soberly on the street after the rain.
After walking ten meters, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yuan behind her, saying coldly, "Why are you following me?"
Jiang Yuan looked speechless: "Who's following you? I'm going to the Level 1 Abyss in the south of the city."
Lin Qingyan was startled: "You too?"
"..."
Both fell silent, not expecting such a coincidence.
They were both thinking of going down into the Abyss to kill monsters and earn money after registering as Martial Artists.
Without speaking further, the two walked one after the other, heading to the terminal building and waiting for the vehicle together.
While waiting for the vehicle, Lin Qingyan said, "Are you planning to go down into the Abyss alone, without weapons or preparation?"
"Yeah."
Lin Qingyan sneered: "Let me tell you in advance, the Abyss is not as simple as you think, don't overestimate yourself. Even a Level 1 Abyss can cost the life of a Third Order Martial Artist."
Jiang Yuan looked speechless: "You say that as if you have a lot of experience. What about you? Isn't it your first time too, and haven't you made any preparations either?"
"I'm different from you. Forget it, I'm just reminding you; if you want to court death, that's up to you."
Lin Qingyan finished speaking coldly and said nothing more.
Jiang Yuan just felt inexplicable.
Soon, the elevated train arrived at the station.
The two got on the vehicle, sat facing each other in their seats, and neither spoke.
Jiang Yuan was considering comprehending the Visualization Method.
Xu Yihan taught him a Visualization Method called the Morning Radiance Visualization Method, which required observing the morning radiance every morning to temper one's spirit.
Although it wasn't too profound, it allowed Jiang Yuan to understand what visualization was.
...
On the other side, while Jiang Yuan and Lin Qingyan were on their way to the Level 1 Abyss, back at the Martial Artist Association, Aisha placed Jiang Yuan and Lin Qingyan's information in front of Branch Guild Leader Chu Xiong.
"Branch Guild Leader, these are the profiles of two high school students who registered as Level 1 Martial Artists today. They applied for the Genius fund."
"Oh? Besides the two from the Qin Family and the Xia Family, there are high school students who can become Martial Artists before the college entrance exam? Let me see," Chu Xiong said interestedly, picking up the forms to check.
"Lin Qingyan, is she the illegitimate daughter of Baihe Group? Awakened an A Level Talent, Healer, tsk tsk, everyone seems to have underestimated her."
"Jiang Yuan, ordinary Assassin, E-Rank Talent, combat power value forty thousand?!! Are you sure?"
Chu Xiong looked up at Aisha in surprise.
"Tested twice, guaranteed accurate," Aisha said with a wry smile.
"Is that so..." Chu Xiong looked at the information in his hand with deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"Give them the subsidy, and also add a bottle of gene spirit liquid."
Although Aisha was a little surprised, she still nodded: "Yes, I understand."
