Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

When a martial artist enters the basics and reaches the first level of the Acquired Realm, also known as the Flesh Refining Realm, all the strength in their body is twisted into a single rope, and a single punch can easily exceed 100 kilograms. This number represents a continuous and stable output, not explosive power.

There are ten levels in total. Each level increases strength by 100 kilograms, which is the common strength advancement situation for most martial artists.

To kill a strong bull with a single punch, the punching force must reach at least 300 kilograms, and this level of strength is equivalent to the third level of the Acquired Realm, the Skin Refining Realm.

Shen Wenwen can now easily lift a 100-kilogram stone lock with just one finger. What does that mean?

She said she could kill a bull with one punch; she probably wasn't exaggerating!

Shen Bai went into his room and took out a stone lock that he had used to practice his strength in his third year of junior high school.

"This weighs 300 kilograms, try to lift it."

Shen Wenwen also realized that her strength might be somewhat superhuman. She swallowed and looked at Shen Bai: "Shen Bai, am I a monster?"

"You'll know once you try!"

Shen Bai was also a little unsure. Fearing his sister might misunderstand, he reassured her, "Some people are born with superhuman strength, while others awaken their talents after entering the martial arts world. It's not unusual. If you really do awaken your strength talent, your future cultivation will be much more efficient. You should be happy!"

Hearing this, Shen Wenwen felt relieved. She walked up to the stone lock, weighed it in her hands, and then released one hand, lifting the 300-kilogram stone lock with just her right hand.

Although she still felt a little strained, this was enough to prove that Shen Wenwen had already reached the third level of the Acquired Realm as soon as she stepped into the martial arts path.

"Shen Bai, am I born with superhuman strength?"

After gently placing the stone lock on the ground, Shen Wenwen immediately jumped up and down, exclaiming, "Is it? Is it?"

"Yes, you have superhuman strength!"

Shen Bai also became excited. He didn't expect his younger sister to be a martial arts prodigy. He wondered if she would also be a cultivation prodigy after she entered the Qi Refining Realm.

However, the fact that she is a martial arts prodigy alone is enough to allow Shen Wenwen to shorten the time that others would otherwise spend honing their physical skills in the martial arts stage.

Shen Bai might not be able to enter the Innate Realm until his freshman year, and then make a final push in his sophomore year to enter the first level of Qi Refining.

If Shen Wenwen gets enough nutrition, she might be able to reach the Innate Realm or even the Qi Refining Realm by high school. If she can also keep up with her humanities grades, she can basically choose between the two prestigious academies.

Nutrition!

Just thinking about that word gave Shen Bai a headache.

Money! Money! Money!

Without money, all of this is just a dream!

"Shen Bai, aren't you happy for me?"

Seeing that Shen Bai didn't look very happy, Shen Wenwen walked over to him and looked up at him.

Shen Wenwen, who is just starting junior high school, is already 1.55 meters tall, which is considered tall among her classmates. This is thanks to the good genes of the Shen family. Shen Bai, who is eighteen years old, is already 1.83 meters tall.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about whether you should tell your teacher about your talent."

Not wanting Shen Wenwen to worry about money, Shen Bai reached out and ruffled her pigtails, laughing, "Wenwen is a genius girl; from now on, your brother will be relying on you to support him!"

"Don't worry, you can expect me to take care of you from now on!"

Seeing that Shen Bai was happy, Shen Wenwen stopped thinking about what had happened to him earlier. She was now immersed in the joy of her breakthrough and ran to the stone lock. She lifted the 300-kilogram stone lock with one hand, laughing as she did so, and muttering to herself from time to time, "Hmph, you guys laugh at me every day. Tomorrow I'll beat you all to a pulp."

Looking at the happy Shen Wenwen, Shen Bai couldn't help but smile. The little girl would definitely be showing off all over school tomorrow.

After thinking for a moment, he still advised, "You'd better not show off to anyone tomorrow. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. You're in the lead today, but what if someone else takes the lead and beats you up later? Instead of wasting time arguing with those classmates, you should start practicing your martial arts properly."

"Okay, okay! You're just like your mother, always nagging!"

Shen Wenwen threw down the stone lock, her face full of impatience: "Can't you let me be happy for a little while longer? Don't I know that with our family's financial situation, if we beat someone up, we can't even afford to buy them a second-tier Rejuvenation Talisman?"

Shen Bai was taken aback, then reached out and pulled Shen Wenwen into his arms.

This little sister is so sensible it breaks my heart.

……

The next day, Shen Bai took Shen Wenwen to school early in the morning and then specifically sought out her homeroom teacher.

"...Teacher Huang, that's the general situation. I'll need your help in the future."

Teacher Huang was a young female teacher with the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining. When she heard Shen Bai say that Shen Wenwen had awakened her divine power talent, she was overjoyed.

With this genius girl, her class was sure to get the top score in the grade. However, when she thought about Shen Wenwen's family background, she felt discouraged.

"Shen Bai, I know your conditions are not good enough, but you also need to know that Wenwen's talent cannot be wasted at all. If she is not allowed to advance quickly during her best cultivation age, she will become just an ordinary person. Even if she has talent, she will only be slightly better than the average person."

Superhuman strength isn't an exceptionally rare talent; a few children awaken it every year. However, even this level of talent is something ordinary people cannot possess, and such a talent must be carefully developed.

Shen Bai understood the key point here. He gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, don't worry, her spirit beast meat won't be cut off. I just hope you can take care of her and help her improve her martial arts skills."

"Don't worry about that, it's just part of my job. But don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'll report to the principal later and see if we can find some investment or donations for you from the community."

Shen Bai understood perfectly what Teacher Huang meant by "investment".

Some large private companies will provide private investments in advance for some exceptionally talented students from less fortunate families, covering all the student's expenses for the next few years, and then the student will repay the company after achieving academic success.

Generally speaking, this investment takes a long time and the return requirements are quite demanding, such as working for a private company for at least 30-50 years.

This condition is essentially equivalent to selling one's future to the company.

This approach isn't necessarily good or bad, but Shen Bai certainly didn't want his sister to be sold to a private company in the future, so he politely declined: "Teacher Huang, don't worry, I won't interfere with Wenwen's cultivation."

Seeing Shen Bai's resolute attitude, Teacher Huang had no choice but to nod: "Alright, go to school first and try your best to get into a good school this year, so that you can better help your sister in the future."

In Teacher Huang's eyes, Shen Bai's cultivation level of the sixth level probably wouldn't be enough to get into a good Dao Academy. It would be better for him to start working early to support his younger sister. When Shen Wenwen becomes successful, she will definitely not forget to repay her brother.

This is the life path that Teacher Huang believes is most suitable for the Shen siblings.

……

Stepping out of the school gate, Shen Bai took out a business card and contacted the other party using a communication talisman: "Can the price for sparring be raised further?"

"Young man, have you figured it out? You're only at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm. One hundred spirit stones per hour is already quite a lot. If you can advance to the seventh level, one hundred and twenty spirit stones per hour. The price can't be raised any further, as this is the market price. However, if you can win over the master, I can try to get you a bonus."

Big Gold Tooth's smug laughter came from the communication talisman. He had been waiting for Shen Bai's call, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. In just one night, the other party had made up his mind.

It seems he's really short of money.

He's just a sparring partner now. When this money isn't enough for him, won't there be even more expensive matches coming up?

This wasn't the first time Big Gold Tooth had done this; he knew very well that human desires were endless.
