C13 Lee Tianhe Fled the Martial Artist Association Compensated Him!

Su Yu's pupils suddenly narrowed.

A big shot?

A flicker of doubt crept into Su Yu's gaze.

At that moment, Lau Kuang offered an explanation.

"You're familiar with the College Entrance Exam, right?"

Su Yu nodded.

Who wasn't aware of the College Entrance Exam? It was, without a doubt, the grandest event of the year in Great Xia.

Numerous prodigies had risen to prominence through the College Entrance Exam, joining the ranks of the Martial Dao Academy and ascending to become Great Xia's elite.

Rumor had it that even the current top experts of Great Xia were alumni of the Martial Dao Academy.

This spoke volumes about the allure of the Martial Dao Academy to the human race.

However, to gain entry into the Martial Dao Academy, one had to pass the College Entrance Exam. Only those who excelled in the exam would earn the privilege of admission.

Lau Kuang went on, "The College Entrance Exam is the Martial Dao Academy's sole opportunity to scout for talent, and the Martial Artist Association has made extensive preparations for it."

"Preparations?"

Su Yu's confusion deepened.

What was the connection between the College Entrance Exam and the Martial Artist Association?

Noticing Su Yu's puzzled look, Lau Kuang offered a knowing smile.

"At first glance, the College Entrance Exam might seem like just another selection test for the Martial Dao Academy. But for the Martial Artist Association, it's also a crucial recruitment drive."

"You're aware of what the Martial Artist Association does, aren't you?"

Su Yu nodded, replying, "The Martial Artist Association encompasses all Martial Cultivators of the human race, safeguarded by our most formidable warriors. It's our bastion against the Myriad Clan!"

Lau Kuang continued with a grin.

"The Martial Artist Association has welcomed all Martial Cultivators from across Great Xia. It's an inclusive organization, extending membership even to those from the Martial Dao Academy and the military."

"Today's human race is essentially composed of three paramount forces: the military, which deals with external affairs; the Martial Artist Association, which manages internal matters; and the Martial Dao Academy, which oversees education. Together, they form the framework of our Martial Cultivator society."

"The College Entrance Exam, therefore, is not merely a means for the Martial Dao Academy to identify promising individuals. It also serves as a benchmark for the Martial Artist Associations in various regions. The more talent a local branch has, the greater the resources it can command."

"So..."

Lau Kuang inhaled deeply, his face etched with gravity.

"Hengcheng is a branch under the Martial Artist Association of Jiangnan Province. Our local prodigies are also part of the Association's assessment."

"The Association in Jiangnan Province holds a secret intensive training called the God's Favored Camp each year. It's designed to help more geniuses excel in the College Entrance Exam."

"God's Favored Camp?"

Su Yu could sense the significance of the name alone; the God's Favored Camp was clearly no ordinary place.

His breath quickened with excitement.

"So, the distinguished individual you're referring to, President Lau..."

Lau Kuang nodded, his smile confirming the anticipation.

"Exactly. This esteemed person is an instructor from the God's Favored Camp. He will soon visit Hengcheng to personally evaluate you. If you qualify, you'll gain entry to the Camp, where a wealth of resources and martial techniques will be at your disposal!"

Su Yu's eyes widened in amazement.

Such generous benefits...

Combined with his synthesis column, wouldn't his progress skyrocket?

He was filled with eager anticipation.

He and Lau Kuang continued discussing this prominent figure and the details of the God's Favored Camp.

An hour or two later, Zhou Wen re-entered Lau Kuang's office, his expression grim.

Lau Kuang's brow creased as he asked in a stern tone, "What happened?"

Zhou Wen clenched his jaw, admitting his oversight.

"President, I failed in my duties. By the time we arrived at Lee's Group, Lee Tianhe had fled. We've taken control of all personnel within the Group and sealed the city gates. If Lee Tianhe dares to show his face in the city, I'll ensure his capture!"

Lau Kuang's impassive gaze weighed heavily on Zhou Wen.

Then, a sharp glint flashed in Lau Kuang's eyes as he let out a cold laugh.

"It seems I've underestimated the chairman of Lee's Group. His caution is remarkable. It's no wonder he had the audacity to flout the Martial Artist Association's rules and strike against a Martial Cultivator."

"Lift the blockade at the city gates. Since Lee Tianhe was already planning his escape, he's probably long gone by now, likely enjoying his freedom somewhere we can't guess."

"Issue a nationwide warrant for Lee Tianhe!"

Lau Kuang was decisive, quickly arranging all the necessary actions.

He then sighed and turned to Su Yu, saying,

"I never expected Lee Tianhe to actually flee. To make up for this oversight by the Martial Artist Association, I'll give you ten Body Refining Pills as compensation."

Ten Body Refining Pills!

Su Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement.

With these, wouldn't he be able to create a Medicine Pill even more advanced than the Bone Refining Pill?

And even secure that rare item he'd been after!

After expressing his gratitude to Lau Kuang and accepting the compensation from the Martial Artist Association, Su Yu returned to his rental.

Holding the ten Body Refining Pills, he licked his parched lips in anticipation.

He opened the synthesis column and placed a Body Refining Pill inside.

Moments later, five glistening Bone Refining Pills were in his hands.

"Five Bone Refining Pills. With a few days, couldn't I break through the latter stages of the Blood Essence Stage and reach 8 points of Blood Essence Value?"

"And if I continue to synthesize..."

A sense of eager anticipation filled Su Yu's heart.

He placed two Bone Refining Pills into the synthesis column and hit 'synthesize.'

Instantly, a white glow shimmered.

A pill, pristine as white jade, lay in the column.

Below it, a line of text slowly emerged.

"Marrow Refining Pill: A Level 5 Medicine Pill. Taking it guarantees a three-point increase in Blood Essence Value, with the sole side effect being a five-day waiting period between doses!"

A Level 5 Medicine Pill!

A brilliant light shone in Su Yu's eyes.

"It's a shame it can only be taken once every five days, but a guaranteed three-point increase in Blood Essence Value is like advancing a minor realm within the Blood Essence Stage."

In the Blood Essence Stage, one to three points of Blood Essence Value is early stage, four to six points is middle stage, and seven to nine points is late stage.

Reaching ten points of Blood Essence would mean entering the Blood Refining Stage!

Then, he successfully synthesized another Marrow Refining Pill.

"With two Marrow Refining Pills and one Bone Refining Pill, if used correctly, I could potentially break through to the Blood Refining Stage in just half a month!"

Su Yu was brimming with excitement.

It was at that moment that a chilling mechanical voice echoed in Su Yu's mind.

"Ding! Luck Value has reached the threshold. Would you like to proceed with the extraction?"

Luck Value?

Could this be...

Overjoyed, Su Yu quickly accessed the Synthesis Column, eager to discover what sort of treasure his first rare item would turn out to be!
