Chapter 90: Astonishing Harvest
Five messages, one after the other, appeared on the light screen.
"Finally, they're here," Li Yuan thought as he reached out and tapped the screen, his eyes gleaming with joy at the sight of the numbers displayed.
After temporarily setting aside the matter of his uncle's health, Li Yuan felt a sense of relief.
The funds had arrived, and all at once.
"3.6 million Blue Planet Coins, that's the difference between the first year of the Martial Hall's A-Class contract and the B-Class contract," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "And this 960,000, is it the additional 20% cultivation resources from the Starfire Guan Mountain Branch?"
The Starfire Guan Mountain Branch was responsible for this 20% bonus on the A-Class contract.
"Both sums, and they're deducting 114,000 in taxes from me?" Li Yuan pondered.
Without dwelling on it, Li Yuan swiped to the next transaction.
"This 2 million, the Kunlun Martial University's reward for my first place in the practical assessment." Li Yuan continued, "The reward for the first place in the 'Cage Battle' was 500,000 Blue Planet Coins, and they gave it to me quite early."
"This 1 million, is from the Lop Nur Star Realm." Li Yuan muttered, "The first installment of the cultivation funds from Kunlun Martial University."
The down payment was non-refundable.
All these funds, in a sense, were provided by the nation and the Seven Stars Alliance as part of a structured system to nurture talents like Li Yuan.
"If I include the 200,000 Blue Planet Coins gifted by the Starfire Guan Mountain Branch for the Youth Hero title, my total earnings for the past half-month exceed 9.26 million Blue Planet Coins." Li Yuan revealed a smile, thinking, "In just this short period, I've gained so much."
If one were to include the 5.7 million Martial Hall points and 9.65 million cultivation points gifted by the Starfire Martial Hall... When calculated together, Li Yuan's total wealth accumulated in the past half-month undoubtedly surpassed 15 million Blue Planet Coins.
Perhaps, for some powerful martial artists, this wealth might not be significant.
But for Li Yuan, it was a fortune.
Li Yuan tapped the light screen to access the 'Starfire' app, a platform provided by the Starfire Martial Hall on the smart ring.
He navigated to his personal account, where his entire fortune was displayed:
Bank Balance: 10.89 million Blue Planet Coins
Martial Hall Points: 6.73 million
Cultivation Points: 9.65 million
"Just three months ago, I was a high school senior worried about 1 million Blue Planet Coins." Li Yuan reminisced, "And now, I've become a millionaire."
In the blink of an eye, his fortunes had changed.
And it was all in cash.
"Many entrepreneurs or millionaires, despite their wealth, might not have such a substantial amount readily available." Li Yuan thought.
"From January until now, in just over three months, I've spent around 6.7 million points and 250,000 Blue Planet Coins." Li Yuan's gaze swept over the transaction records.
The points were primarily spent on basic Qi and blood potions, deep-sea source pills, and source energy pills.
The Blue Planet Coins were mostly used for daily expenses and practical combat coaches.
Other than these, Li Yuan spent very little.

This was the primary reason Li Yuan could 'easily' obtain such wealth.
...
Today, after school, Li Yuan skipped lunch and headed straight to the Martial Hall.
Every Wednesday was Li Yuan's practical training day.
At 8 PM, inside Room 7024 of the Martial Arts Hall, two men clad in full protective gear, each wielding cold weapons, engaged in an intense clash.
"Clang!"
Li Yuan's long spear danced in his hands, each strike flowing like lightning, relentless as a rushing river, forcing Fang Longhu, who held a sword and shield, to retreat step by step.
It seemed as if Fang Longhu had no strength to parry.
Suddenly, Li Yuan exerted force from his waist, took a powerful step forward, and swung his spear down like a giant axe.
This was the ultimate burst of the second technique of the Five Stars, the Starfall Cascade.
With twelve spear strikes, he built up momentum, pushing his aura to its peak.
It was like a massive waterfall plummeting a hundred meters, creating a terrifying impact upon hitting the ground.
"Oh no!"
Fang Longhu's face changed slightly. Finally, unable to adhere to the training partner rules, he unleashed nearly all his strength in an instant. His shield moved like lightning, blocking the strike.
"Bang!"
The long spear, like an axe, slammed into the massive shield. Even though Li Yuan was only a 12th-level Martialist, Fang Longhu, as a 15th-level Martialist, could still withstand this impact without much difficulty.
"Stop!" Fang Longhu abruptly shouted.
But Li Yuan had already halted and smiled, "Coach Fang, you lost again."
"I lost, I lost!"
"I never thought that even with my strength and speed at around the 12th level, I still couldn't stop you," Fang Longhu said, putting away his shield, "If you had kept attacking, I might not have been able to control my strength and would have injured you."
Li Yuan smiled.
Although he hadn't unleashed his full power, his near-rank-advancement strength, combined with his fourth-stage spear skills and killing moves, resulted in an astonishing display of power.
Of course, it still wasn't enough to threaten Fang Longhu.
A 12th-level Martialist and a 15th-level Martialist might sound like a difference of just three levels.
But these are post-rank-advancement levels, unlike the gap between levels 6 and 9.
For post-rank-advancement Martialists, each level of physical condition difference is significant.
A 12th-level Martialist has a burst speed of 30 meters per second and a fist power of 3,000 kilograms.
In contrast, a 15th-level Martialist surpasses 50 meters per second in burst speed, and their fist power easily exceeds 10,000 kilograms.
They are simply not on the same level.
Facing a 12th-level Martialist, Li Yuan could still hold his own with his superior skills.
But if he were to face Fang Longhu directly, Fang Longhu's absolute strength and speed could defeat him in a single move.
Even with his fourth-stage skills, he couldn't make up for the absolute gap in strength and speed.
Click-click! Both men removed their helmets.
"Li Yuan, I didn't do a good job as your training partner today, so I won't charge you," Fang Longhu said with a shake of his head, "Also, from now on, I won't take on your sparring partner duties anymore."
"You won't?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
"I can't be your sparring partner anymore," Fang Longhu said with a helpless smile, "You're just too extraordinary, improving at an incredible pace. In just half a year, your physical condition and skills have advanced at a rate that's beyond belief."
"Don't worry, I'll report this to the Hall Master." Fang Longhu smiled, "I'll arrange for a new sparring partner for you. It's fine to take a week off, but don't choose one yourself."
"Okay," Li Yuan nodded.
Sparring training was crucial, but it was also dangerous... It wasn't just about having the strength to do the job.
Qualified sparring partners were rare, and excellent ones even rarer.
Safety was the most important factor.
There had been instances where sparring partners, unable to control their strength, had accidentally killed their training partners.
Fang Longhu had been specifically chosen by the Starfire Combat Palace for Li Yuan, and he had extensive experience.
Over the past six months, Fang Longhu had adjusted his strength based on Li Yuan's progress, providing pressure while ensuring Li Yuan's safety.
"Beep!" Fang Longhu's smart ring vibrated, and he looked down at it, "Li Yuan, what's this?"
Li Yuan transferred 20,000 Blue Star Coins to him.
"Coach Fang."
"Thank you for these past six months of training. Don't refuse," Li Yuan smiled, "Consider it a little extra bonus, don't think it's too small."
"Haha, okay, then I'll take it," Fang Longhu laughed, "In the future, if you need a sparring partner again, you can still in silence, also had the intention to get close to Li Yuan.
"Okay," Li Yuan smiled and nodded.
He had the same idea. In a few years, when his younger brother and sister needed sparring partners, Fang Longhu would be an excellent choice.
...
At 9 PM, in the 12th-floor office of the Starfire Guanshan Branch,
"You want to resign as Li Yuan's sparring partner?" Wan Qinghe looked at Longhu in surprise.
Previously, Fang Longhu had reported to Instructor Xing.
But starting from January, Wan Qinghe had ordered Fang Longhu to report on Li Yuan's progress every half month.
"Hall Master,"
"It's not that I don't want to, but Li Yuan's progress is too fast," Fang Longhu said helplessly, "His skills have surpassed the Meteor level, and I estimate his physical condition is at least at the 9.5 level."
Wan Qinghe was shocked.
Meteor level with a physical condition above 9.5? Li Yuan had made significant progress since the last assessment?
"Alright, you can go now. I'll select someone else,"
...
At 10:30 PM, Li Yuan returned home and had just finished washing up when he felt his smart ring vibrate.
"Hmm? A file?"
Li Yuan clicked to view it, "A file from Kunlun Martial University?"
