Su Bai repeated himself, and on the other end of the phone, his dad's shocked voice came through:

"A million?!!"

"That much??"

In the factory, some of Su Zihao's coworkers heard what he said and immediately gathered around curiously.

"Old Su, what's this about a million? Did you win the lottery?"

"Old Su, you spend your days dreaming instead of working. Come on, give us a hand, there's too much work to finish!"

"Old Su, working diligently is much more reliable than daydreaming. Your kid's education depends on you earning money!"

Su Zihao was still in a daze and ignored his coworkers' teasing.

He kept asking Su Bai what was going on!

Su Bai spent quite a bit of effort explaining to his dad that he wasn't short on money, and the million was just pocket money for him, so his parents wouldn't have to work so hard.

Soon, his dad received a bank transfer notification, and Su Zihao quickly checked it.

Seeing it made Su Zihao's heart race!

His coworkers, seeing his stunned expression, curiously peeked at his phone.

One glance and they were shocked too!

"Holy crap! Old Su, maybe I'm tired from work today, but how many zeros are there?"

The other coworkers noticed the commotion and curiously looked over at Su Zihao's phone screen:

"Wow, so many zeros? Could it be a scam message?"

"Are you dumb? The bank's number is right there, how could it be a scam?"

"Everyone quiet, let me count the zeros. Damn, Old Su, you're about to strike it rich!"

"It's really a million! Not a single zero missing!"

"No wonder you're a Martial Academy student, martial artists earn way more than us regular folks!"

"I'm really envious, Old Su, you have a good son! If my kid could get into Martial Academy, I'd sell everything to support him!"

"If I were you, Old Su, I'd quit my job and retire!"

Su Zihao was a bit carried away by his coworkers' praise, feeling light on his feet.

But he didn't plan to touch the million.

After all, his son was an ability user, and although he earned quickly, he also spent a lot. Su Zihao wanted to save the money for his son, just in case it was needed in the future, so the family could support Su Bai.

However, the pride and smile on Su Zihao's face were unmistakable.

"Hahaha, it's all because Su Bai is such a good kid, hahaha..."

"Come on, let's get back to work before the supervisor comes and yells at us!"

Coworker: ......

"With a son like yours, which supervisor would dare yell at you? The whole factory would probably treat you with respect!"

.....

Meanwhile, in the Lin family villa.

Wenyuan gently knocked on Lin Yanran's door: "Yanran, come out for dinner!"

But there was no response from Lin Yanran's room, and Mr. Wenyuan shook his head helplessly:

"This girl, ever since Su Bai participated in the Hundred Schools Tournament, she's been either watching his matches or training like crazy, without any sense of balance, sigh!"

"She never liked martial arts, but suddenly she's working so hard."

Inside the room, Lin Yanran had just taken a priceless Bronze Tier Blood Coagulation Pill. She sat cross-legged on the bed, her entire body surging with energy, surrounded by a blue glow.

"Boom!"

A powerful aura swept through the room, knocking books off the shelves and even toppling several chairs.

"Crack!"

The aura grew stronger, causing the glass to crack and eventually shatter.

Glass shards scattered across the floor.

Lin Yanran slowly opened her eyes, feeling the overwhelming power coursing through her, a smile appearing on her lips:

"I've advanced to Bronze Tier!"

"Haha, I'm one step closer to Su Bai, hehe!"

"I must catch up to you!"

Still at the door, Mr. Wenyuan heard the commotion inside and knocked again. Only then did Lin Yanran realize he was there and quickly went to open the door.

Sensing the power within Lin Yanran, Wenyuan looked at her in surprise:

"Yanran, your newly advanced Bronze Tier energy is even denser than most Bronze High Tier!"

But considering Lin Yanran's background, Wenyuan understood:

"Not surprising, being Lin Tiger's daughter, your talent is indeed extraordinary, far beyond ordinary people."

"Yanran, if you hadn't spent time compressing your energy to enhance its quality, you could have advanced to Bronze Tier much earlier."

"It's a pity you missed this year's Hundred Schools Tournament during your critical training period."

"Otherwise, you might have showcased your father's youthful prowess and shaken the Nine Provinces!"

"Showing those who doubt your father why he was named the most promising human to reach King Tier in a century! The name 'Tiger Roars in the Nine Provinces' isn't just talk!"

Despite Wenyuan's praise for Lin Yanran's talent, she was still not satisfied.

After hearing Wenyuan's words, Lin Yanran shook her head.

"Uncle Wenyuan, I'm not as strong as you say."

"Besides, even though I can fight against Bronze High Tier, there's still a big gap between me and Su Bai. He can already slay Silver Tier beasts!"

"The difference is too great..."

"By the way, Uncle Wenyuan, I'm almost out of the pills you gave me. Could you ask my father for more? I want to improve my strength as quickly as possible!"

"Now that Su Bai has finished the battle zone league, we can go to Luocheng to find him and head to the Magic City together."

Wenyuan looked at Lin Yanran's face full of regret and confusion:

"I wonder what kind of spell Su Bai cast on you!"

"That kid is really lucky!"

"If he knew how many top families and prodigies from the Imperial Capital, Magic City, and even military schools have proposed to your father for you..."

"And you rejected them all outright, I wonder what he'd think... This is the pinnacle for any man..."

"Uncle Wenyuan... what are you talking about..."

Lin Yanran's face turned red as she interrupted, lowering her head, not daring to meet Wenyuan's gaze.

But in her heart, she couldn't help but think of Su Bai's bright smile.

Although at first glance, Su Bai might seem lacking compared to the nation's top prodigies in terms of background, talent, and strength.

But none of that mattered!

I have the background, I have the resources!

Su Bai, he's the best!

No reason needed!

There are countless prodigies in the world, but none are him!

As long as it's him, it's enough!

......

After resting in Luocheng for two days, Su Bai and his group were led by the Old Principal to the train station, preparing to head to the final destination of the tournament—the Magic City!

Along the way, the Old Principal introduced the details of the finals to Su Bai and the others:

"This time, the finals will feature ten teams from the five battle zones, plus three top schools, making a total of thirteen Martial Academies competing."
