"Support me?"
Qin Mu was instantly stunned.
He flicked Xiao Yun's head.
"Even if your brother is terrible, I don't need you to support me!"
"You don't believe me, do you?"
"Tomorrow, your brother will go take the Quasi-Martial Artist test, you'll see~"
"Ouch~"
Qin Yun frowned and rubbed her forehead.
"Quasi-Martial Artist? Xiao Mu, you're going to be able to test for Quasi-Martial Artist?" From outside, his mother Yang Ling's figure suddenly appeared.
"Mom~" Qin Yun immediately turned around and pounced into Yang Ling's arms: "Big brother is crazy, he said he's going to become a Martial Artist~"
Yang Ling's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Really?"
"I knew Xiao Mu had talent. It definitely won't be difficult for you to become a Martial Artist . Of course, it also had to do with the fierce beast meat I bought from Sister Zhang. They said it was of Grandmaster level!"
"If not for the connections at the factory, this kind of good stuff would cost hundreds of thousands to buy~"
"Good heavens."
Qin Mu immediately exclaimed, "Good heavens," after hearing that.
"So."
"You got deceived by a scammer, huh~"
"No…"
His words had just left his mouth when Qin Mu immediately took them back.
If he were to explain this, it would be better not to. He could only grit his teeth and say:
"Yes, yes, yes. After eating the meat you bought, I felt an immense strength in my body, and I was able to kill a Vicious Beast with one punch!!"
"Really?"
Disbelief was clearly evident in Qin Yun's clever, big eyes.
But Yang Ling believed him.
"That's great! I left work early today because I had a premonition that my Xiao Mu was going to become a Martial Artist!"
"It seems your father is watching over us from heaven. Go on, go quickly and light an incense stick for your father~"
"Phew~"
Qin Mu nodded slightly, without explaining.
Nowadays, it is not an easy task for a man to support a family, let alone Yang Ling?
The work at the Vicious Beast processing plant was something that not many men were able to endure; they would come home covered in blood every day.
The furor of the Qin Family.
Clearly startled neighbours around the apartment building. Fortunately, it still was early and not the end of the workday for most of the lower-class residents, so only three or five older women poked their heads out.
"Oh, is a Martial Artist going to come out of the Qin Family?"
"Congratulations, congratulations~"
"I told you the Old Qin Family was different."
" Their family has produced Martial Artists before; they have good Bloodline, another one coming out is absolutely no problem!
"Come on now~"
"My second son told me about Xiao Mu's results. He was only Apprentice Fifth Level during last month's assessment."
"Ah?"
.Everyone was puzzled.
Yang Ling, however, turned cold:
"Hmph, would my Xiao Mu lie?
"Of course, his rapid progress is due to eating… cough cough, of course, it's the result of his diligent efforts."
If Yang Ling had not explained, that would have been better, but she tried to cover it up instead, which made many neighbors believe it.
"Cough cough, well, let's not talk about it today then~"
"When Xiao Mu passes the Martial Artist test, I'll invite everyone to celebrate~"
"Bang!"
Yang Ling quickly closed the door.
Outside the door, news of Qin Mu becoming a Martial Artist spread through the entire apartment building in no time.
The people living there were all lower class.
The whole building of thousands of households didn't have a single Martial Artist.
If any family had produced a Martial Artist, they would have to set off fireworks and give out red envelopes to celebrate properly.
Yang Ling wanted to celebrate, but unfortunately, she was short of cash and couldn't afford to give out red envelopes, so she could only postpone it for now.
"Mom, let's eat first."
Qin Mu turned around and opened the refrigerator, started the food processor, and began making Hextech and delicacies.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the city and sign up for the assessment. When I become a Quasi-Martial Artist, I will be able to find a good job."
Yang Ling snatched the task from Qin Mu's hands.
"You're going to be a Martial Artist; how can you still be in the kitchen?"
"Go wait over there for dinner."
A small house of thirty square meters.
Only one living room.
It had a retractable kitchen and a corner bathroom that could also retract.
After dinner.
Qin Mu took Xiao Yun to exercise.
As for Qin Mu himself, he didn't dare to Cultivate.
Apprentice Ninth Level Each of his strikes would unleash 9000KG of force right away. There wasn't space at home to Cultivate, and he had no experience. If he broke something, there wouldn't be anywhere to sleep at night.
At night.
The bunk bed lowered from the wall.
Xiao Yun scrambled up: "Brother, tell me the truth. I can still beg Mom for you, otherwise, if you can't pass the test tomorrow, you'll be in big trouble~"
"Go on, go on, hurry up and take a bath!"
Qin Mu grabbed her and pulled her down.
"Wuwu~"
Qin Yun immediately looked wronged: "I'll wash tomorrow, can I wash tomorrow morning? I promise I won't tell Mom on you, and I'll even help you beg her~"
"Hmph!"
"Dream on!"
Qin Mu ignored her, directly pushed her into the bathroom and turned on the shower… The night passed without further words.
Qin Mu sent Xiao Yun off before heading to the city centre.
The factory and the apartment building were situated in a part of the city on the outskirts.
From the balcony, one could see Jiangcheng's steel wall over a hundred meters high.
The closer to the city center, the shorter the buildings became.
It was as if dozens-of-stories-high apartment buildings, row after row, were the city's second line of defense… Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall.
It was the second biggest martial arts hall in Jiangcheng.
It was also where most Martial Artists in Jiangcheng usually Cultivated and carried out missions.
Aside from Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, there were three others in the city.
Star-Breaking Martial Arts Hall, Hegemony Martial Arts Hall, and Military God Martial Hall.
The first two were private, and the last one belonged to the military.
And the largest Martial Arts Hall in Jiangcheng was Star-Breaking Martial Arts Hall.
The owner of the Martial Arts Hall, Wu Po Xing, was rumored to be a Great Grandmaster and the number one expert on Dragon Star!
"No rush."
Qin Mu glanced diagonally at the Star-Breaking Martial Arts Hall and thought to himself,
"Great Grandmaster! I'll reach that, too~"
"Soon! Very soon!"
"One level a day, it really is very fast!"
Qin Mu used to be envious; now, he only felt anticipation.
"Soon!"
"I can also become a Great Grandmaster, own a Martial Arts Hall! Own a Martial Arts Hall even bigger than Star-Breaking Martial Arts Hall!" "Presiding over Dragon Star, overseeing the twenty-four cities!
