15: I am not convinced!

"Is that half a Spirit Stone a reward for me being too outstanding?"

Hearing Zhang Qiang's somewhat exaggerated voice, everyone looked toward him.

There are Spirit Stone rewards too?

Thinking of this, the others couldn't help but look at their own jade bottles.

"Hiss! It really is! But it seems I don't have one and a half! I have two whole ones!"

"I remember the monthly Cultivation resource subsidy for a Utility Disciple is one Spirit Stone. Are these extra Spirit Stones, just like before, a reward for excellent performance in the assessment?"

He Wuyi was overjoyed, his voice even trembling slightly.

Spirit Stones are very scarce and have a great supplementary effect on Cultivation.

It was precisely because of the lack of Spirit Stones that his Realm had been stuck at Body Tempering Fourth Level.

Now that he had these two Spirit Stones, plus the previous three, there might be a chance to consolidate his cultivation and reach a Breakthrough to Body Tempering Fifth Level within a few days!

Yuxu Academy is the best!

"Uh, you have two?" Zhang Qiang was stunned and immediately felt somewhat awkward.

So he wasn't the only one; the others had them too!

And He Wuyi was rewarded with half a Spirit Stone more than him!

Did this mean He Wuyi's assessment score was better than his?

Regarding this, Zhang Qiang was actually convinced.

Although his Realm was two minor levels higher than He Wuyi's.

But He Wuyi was, after all, the first person to comprehend the Test Fist Technique, and his comprehension time was a full half-hour earlier than his. It was normal for his overall score to be better!

However, besides He Wuyi, he should be the most outstanding one present, right?

The others shouldn't have received any extra Spirit Stone rewards, right?

Thinking this, he secretly poked Mo Fan, who was beside him, and whispered, "Brother, how many Spirit Stone rewards did you get?"

Mo Fan rubbed his brow, his expression somewhat unnatural as he said, "Two... two, I guess?"

He originally wanted to refuse to answer the question or lie and say he hadn't received any Spirit Stone rewards.

But Zhang Qiang's shout earlier had immediately attracted the attention of Steward Shi Biao.

Right now, Shi Biao was smiling meaningfully at him!

This guy definitely has an issue!

He likely knows that my jade bottle contains three Spirit Stones!

No, these Spirit Stones were placed there by him on purpose!

Entrapment?!

Damn, that's too insidious!

Mo Fan's face turned black.

This guy is too sneaky!

Do I look like the kind of person who would covet a mere two Spirit Stones?

"Two... two?!" Zhang Qiang, who was nearby, widened his eyes, suspecting he had misheard.

"Two in total, or were you rewarded with two?"

"Three in total." Mo Fan scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Maybe Steward Shi was careless... and put the wrong amount?"

Zhang Qiang was stunned, then nodded in deep agreement. "That is indeed possible."

Naturally, he wouldn't think Mo Fan was qualified to receive a reward of two Spirit Stones.

You have to know, even He Wuyi, who was the first to comprehend the Test Fist Technique, only received a reward of one Spirit Stone!

And he himself only received a reward of half a Spirit Stone!

What right or ability does this guy in front of him have to receive a reward of two Spirit Stones?

It must be a mistake!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang lowered his voice and said quickly, "Hurry up and return the Spirit Stones to make a good impression on the Steward!"

Hearing this, Mo Fan's face twitched, looking pained.

It seemed that was the only way for now!

If Zhang Qiang hadn't shouted earlier, he could have quietly accepted the Spirit Stones.

If asked later, he could just say he wasn't aware and thought it was an extra reward from the Academy, and had already used them.

After all, as an ancient School with a thousand-year Legacy, Yuxu Academy wouldn't make things difficult for him over these two Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, it wasn't his fault to begin with.

But now... forget it, just return them!

Mo Fan wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had originally thought that by absorbing these three Spirit Stones, he could add points again!

Now that was gone, he could only wait for next month's subsidy or find a way to earn Spirit Stones himself.

However, just as Mo Fan was about to hand over the Spirit Stones, Lin Yiyi held him back.

She shook the jade bottle in her hand and said with a smile.

"I think it's not a mistake, but a reward for being outstanding enough."

"Look, don't I also have three Spirit Stones in my jade bottle? What's there to be so surprised about?"

As she spoke, she also glared at Zhang Qiang.

"Uh—" Looking at the jade bottle in Lin Yiyi's hand, Zhang Qiang was dumbfounded.

What is going on?

Not only Zhang Qiang, but He Wuyi was also confused.

He looked at the jade bottle in his hand, then at Lin Yiyi, and finally at Mo Fan.

What is the situation?

Even a Genius like himself was only rewarded with one Spirit Stone.

On what basis were they rewarded with two?

Just because they are pretty and handsome?

How unreasonable!

"Ah, this—" Mo Fan was also confused.

Although Lin Yiyi is very strong, she hid her strength.

She also went easy during the assessment.

In Mo Fan's view, the level Lin Yiyi displayed was just a little bit stronger than his, or perhaps they were about the same, neck and neck.

Regardless, neither of them compared to He Wuyi and Zhang Qiang.

But now... what exactly is going on?

The group looked at each other, and finally, filled with confusion, they all looked at Shi Biao.

Seeing that this guy finally remembered him, Shi Biao smiled and explained, "A normal Utility Disciple is indeed only subsidized one Spirit Stone per month.

"But for exceptionally outstanding Utility Disciples, the Academy is still willing to Cultivate them.

"Also, the Spirit Stones in your hands were placed into the jade bottles by me personally; there is no mistake."

Hearing this, the group was stunned and looked at each other.

After a while, He Wuyi swallowed hard, and asked somewhat incredulously, "Does that mean I will be able to receive a Cultivation subsidy of two Spirit Stones every month from now on?"

"Yes." Shi Biao nodded.

"Damn! That's too awesome?!" He Wuyi was so happy he almost jumped up!

A subsidy of two Spirit Stones per month! This treatment is already not worse than a regular Martial Arts University!

What's more, as a Utility Disciple of Yuxu Academy, there is also a handsome salary!

It seems this path was the right one to take!

He Wuyi was overjoyed, feeling full of motivation.

His strength was not weak; he had reached a Breakthrough to Body Tempering Fourth Level before the Martial Arts Exam. If he had performed normally, getting into an ordinary Martial Arts University wouldn't have been much of a difficulty.

But that would be it; he would barely meet the admission requirements of a Martial Arts University and could only go to the most ordinary School!

Better to be the tail of a Phoenix than the head of a chicken!

Therefore, he didn't report to a Martial Arts University and chose to walk the path of Yuxu Academy.

Now it seems, this path was the right one!

Yuxu Academy is not necessarily worse than a Martial Arts University!

If he is promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple in the future, that would be comparable to a first-class Martial Arts University, or even a top-tier Martial Arts University!

Just as He Wuyi was envisioning the future, Zhang Qiang looked at Shi Biao somewhat unconvinced.

"I accept that He Wuyi's Spirit Stone subsidy is half a Spirit Stone more than mine, after all, his talent is indeed a bit stronger than mine.

"But what is going on with Lin Yiyi and Mo Fan?

"Why do they have a subsidy of three Spirit Stones?

"That's twice as much as mine!

"I refuse to accept this; I don't believe their talent is more outstanding than He Wuyi's!"
