He clearly remembered that just a week ago, Su Xiaobai had only collected the subsidy for beginner level quasi-warriors!
Unlike the front desk staff, he was absolutely certain that Su Xiaobai had only stepped into the ranks of quasi-warriors within the last month or so… And now, in just a few days, he had advanced to an intermediate quasi-warrior?!
"How could his cultivation aptitude be this high?" Zhang Hengxing was stunned.
If Su Xiaobai had been from a powerful family, it might have made sense—rapid advancement through extensive resources wouldn't be surprising. But Su Xiaobai clearly had no such background!
What kind of privileged person would bother coming to the Warrior Hall just to collect subsidies of 100 or 200 spirit coins?
"It's my own arrogance and complacency… Besides those from the great families in our class, there's actually a true genius among us!"
"I can't let this slide. I must keep advancing and catch up!" Zhang Hengxing resolved inwardly.
"Book me a B-grade… no, an A-grade training room!"
"For three days!"
Zhang Hengxing refused to believe that someone like him, who had achieved quasi-warrior status earlier, could be surpassed so quickly… No matter what, he was determined to recover his lost progress!
Su Xiaobai, of course, had no idea that casually collecting his subsidy had sent shockwaves through his classmate's mind.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
No matter how impressive your cultivation skills were, could you train for 24 hours straight without rest?
He could!
No need for tedious meditation, no need for any cultivation resources. Just by eating, drinking, and sleeping, he could level up… How could anyone compete with that?
Thus, Su Xiaobai had no concerns whatsoever.
Given enough time, any elite, genius, or prodigy… would be crushed by him without a shred of resistance!
"Ling'er, we're having hotpot tonight!"
Having just collected 200 spirit coins, Su Xiaobai's life became even more carefree.
This was the equivalent of two months' wages for an ordinary person!
He didn't hold back at all, dining out every day and taking Su Ling'er on outings all over the place.
Nearly 20 days later, as the 200 spirit coins were about to run out—
Pop!
With a faint sound from his body, Su Xiaobai leveled up again!
From intermediate quasi-warrior, he directly advanced to advanced quasi-warrior!
"Ahhh, this feels amazing~"
Su Xiaobai felt an unprecedented warm current flowing through his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. It was indescribably pleasant.
He checked his current stats:
Human: Su Xiaobai
Cultivation Level: Advanced quasi-warrior
Strength Level: Advanced quasi-warrior
Endurance Level: Advanced quasi-warrior
Agility Level: Advanced quasi-warrior
Cultivation Aptitude: Lowest Grade
Martial Skills: None
Unlocked System Function: One-click Cultivation Space (Level 1)
All his physical attributes had significantly improved along with his level-up!
Su Xiaobai clearly felt that the power in his fists had increased greatly compared to before, and his entire body felt lighter. Just by running casually, he could now match the speed of Usain Bolt!
"Time to collect another wave of money. So satisfying!"
Every time he leveled up, he could collect an additional subsidy for that month.
Under normal circumstances, a person might at most level up once a month and collect subsidies only twice… But who could have imagined that Su Xiaobai would level up three times in a single month?
So when Su Xiaobai handed over his ID card, the front desk staff was momentarily dumbfounded.
She clearly saw the records on his ID card:
27 days ago, Su Xiaobai collected the 100-spirit-coin subsidy for beginner level quasi-warriors.
20 days ago, he collected the 200-spirit-coin subsidy for intermediate quasi-warriors.
And now, he was here to collect the 300-spirit-coin subsidy for advanced quasi-warriors!
This advancement speed was simply mind-blowing!
However, shock was shock—her professionalism remained intact.
Although it was rare, some talented individuals from powerful families, with abundant resources, could indeed achieve such rapid progress…
Thus, she quietly processed Su Xiaobai's subsidy for advanced quasi-warriors.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the door to an A-grade training room opened and Zhang Hengxing emerged drenched in sweat.
"Hengxing, you're really pushing it! Training nonstop in an A-grade room for four hours straight… At this rate, you'll probably reach intermediate quasi-warrior status within half a year!"
A friend approached, handing him a bottle of water with a smile.
"Half a year's too long. Three months. I must reach intermediate quasi-warrior status in three months!" Zhang Hengxing declared with determination.
If he couldn't achieve that, he might be left far behind. How could he hope to become a warrior, let alone a grandmaster?
Even though his cultivation aptitude was low, his lifelong goal was to break through the limits of a grandmaster and become a true martial general!
Pfft!
Just as Zhang Hengxing took a sip of water, his eyes accidentally landed on Su Xiaobai, who was waiting at the front desk to collect his subsidy. He couldn't help but spray the water out of his mouth!
"What's wrong?" His friend asked in confusion.
"Th-that guy…"
Zhang Hengxing stared wide-eyed, his gaze fixed on Su Xiaobai.
He watched as the front desk staff counted out 300 spirit coins and handed them over with a smile.
Su Xiaobai thanked her, then cheerfully turned to leave, holding his 300 spirit coins.
"300 spirit coins… advanced quasi-warrior!"
"H-he… He couldn't have… No… How is this possible?!"
Zhang Hengxing's face was filled with disbelief.
It has only been 20 days!
Only 20 days since Su Xiaobai collected the intermediate quasi-warrior subsidy!
And now, he is already an advanced quasi-warrior, here to collect the corresponding subsidy?
This meant that Su Xiaobai only took 20 days to advance from intermediate to advanced quasi-warrior!
Such cultivation speed… is simply terrifying!
"Hengxing, what's wrong? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
His friend was puzzled.
"Impossible… It's impossible!"
"Maybe he's just here to claim some mission rewards!"
Desperate to convince himself, Zhang Hengxing strode up to the front desk.
"What was that guy here for just now?" He asked, his voice trembling with anticipation.
The answer crushed his hopes.
"Oh, he just collected the monthly subsidy for advanced quasi-warriors!" the staff replied with a smile.
Boom!
It felt like lightning struck Zhang Hengxing.
He… He actually leveled up again!
