Chapter 10
“Big Brother, are you selling yourself?”
Chu Yu looked at Chu Zhou suspiciously.
“What do you mean by selling myself?” Chu Zhou was stunned.
“There’s no need to hide it. I understand!” Chu Yu’s face revealed a look of understanding. “Many people on the Internet say that young man don’t know the goodness of living off a woman. They have wasted their youth the other way around.”
“It seems that you’re more mature than your peers and have understood the true meaning of life!”
She reached out and patted Chu Zhou’s shoulder. “Big Brother, don’t worry. I’m reasonable. I understand and support you!”
“There’s nothing wrong with earning money with your own abilities!” His father, Chu Donglai, also added on silently.
Chu Zhou reacted and his face darkened.
“What the h.e.l.l did you learn on the Internet?”
He rubbed his sister Chu Yu’s head angrily and messed up her hairstyle again.
“Listen carefully. I happened to make a windfall today. The money used to buy the Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat is all mine…”
He told her about how he had accidentally “picked up” 100,000 Alliance Dollars when he took a shortcut home.
He wasn’t lying. He had indeed “picked it up” from the ground.
“What? Big Brother, you actually picked up 100,000 Alliance Dollars? What kind of luck is this!”
Chu Yu was dumbfounded.
The next moment, she extended her small hand and placed it in front of Chu Zhou.
“Everyone who sees it gets a share! It’s better to be happy together than to be happy alone! Brother, I believe you would not be so stingy as to not spare a strand of hair

!”
Chu Yu looked at Chu Zhou with a flattering smile.
“Not sparing a strand of a hair? Am I such a person?” Chu Zhou was very angry. This little girl actually insulted his character.
He lowered his head and looked at his arm. He “beared the pain” and plucked a strand of hair and placed it on Chu Yu’s palm then helped her close her fingers.
“A hair plucked from the ground. Take it!”
Chu Yu looked at his closed hand in a daze, and his expression collapsed.
“Big Brother, you miser!”
Screams resounded throughout the house.
When his father, Chu Donglai, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.
In the end, Chu Zhou still gave her 500 Alliance Dollars as a “pacification fee” to calm her down.
“Xiaoyu, don’t think it’s too little… This money is very useful to me now. The elite trial is about to begin. I’ll use this money to buy some cultivation resources to increase my strength!”
“I will be able to obtain the genetic potion if I can obtain the top three in the elite trial.”
“With the genetic potion, I can try to open the genetic lock and become a true martial artist!”
“Earning money will be an easy for me when I become a true martial artist. At that time, it won’t be much even if I give you five million dollars as pocket money!”
Chu Zhou said to Chu Yu, as he cut the Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat in the kitchen.
Chu Yu stopped frying the vegetables and said to Chu Zhou with a worried expression.
“Big Bro, are you partic.i.p.ating in the elite trial held by the top 10 high schools? This is risky. Every year, many people die in the trial.”
“Don’t you already get a guaranteed spot in a Martial Arts University? Why are you still taking the risk?”
His father, Chu Donglai, also looked at Chu Zhou.
“Yes, I’m definitely partic.i.p.ating! I have to perform well to fight for more resources even if I can enter the Martial Arts University. Don’t worry, I’m absolutely confident that nothing will happen!” Chu Zhou explained to his sister and father.
He did not mention about how Jin Zhennan had almost replaced him in the guaranteed spot.
There was no need worry his family worry.
Chu Yu saw the determination in Chu Zhou’s eyes and did not continue to persuade him.
She knew her brother’s personality very well. Once he decided on something, even nine cows would not be able to pull him back.
Moreover, he would have to face all kinds of danger sooner or later as a martial artist. He could not avoid it.
The dangers in the elite trials were not worth mentioning compared to the dangers of fighting monsters in the wilderness in the future.
“Big Bro, be careful. You just said that you will give me five million dollars as pocket money after you become a martial artist… You have to come back in one piece to fulfill your promise, okay?” She could only remind him.
His father stared deeply at Chu Zhou and only said, “Be careful!”
The dishes were quickly cooked.
A mouth-watering fragrance of meat wafted through the room.
This was the fragrance of the Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat.
They turned on the television and the family began to eat.
This was the first time Chu Zhou’s family had eaten monster meat.
The meat of the Iron Thorn Wild Boar was smooth, tender, and delicious. It also had a unique fragrance that made Chu Zhou’s family reminisce.
“Big Brother, eat more!”
His younger sister, Chu Yu, placed pieces after pieces of Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat into Chu Zhou’s bowl, filling it up.
She wanted Chu Zhou to eat more after knowing that he was going to partic.i.p.ate in the elite trial.
Chu Zhou looked at the meat piled into a small pyramid, speechless, and could only eat it.
At this moment, a piece of news was broadcasted on the television.
A female newscaster said:
“At 5:35 p.m. this afternoon, three victims were found in a remote alley near Yi’an District! The three victims died tragically without even a corpse. There was even a red rose stuck at the crime scene!”
“The police have determined that the murderer is an extremely dangerous figure among the fallen martial artists.”
“During this period of time, the fallen martial artists have been committing crimes without rest. 12 students have gone missing in a row, and there are even murder cases now. Citizens, please pay attention to your safety and try not to go to remote alleys. Don’t approach anyone you suspect of being a fallen martial artist.”
There were also a few pixelated images of the murder scene on the television.
Chu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly watching the news.
He naturally wanted to see the police identify the murderer as a fallen martial artist.
He had actually recorded a video with his phone at that time, it was enough to prove that he was defending himself.
In this era, it was completely legal for the victim to kill the other party in self-defense when they were being attacked with weapons such as knives and guns.
Therefore, he was not afraid of being discovered.
However, it was better to avoid trouble.
The current outcome was pretty good!
“Eh, isn’t this alley where you often take shortcuts?”
Chu Yu looked at the photo on the television and could not help but be shocked.
“There’s actually a murder case in this alley, and it was done by a fallen martial artist. Big Brother, don’t go through this alley.”
“Well, I didn’t think that something like this would happen in this alley. I won’t be taking this road again anytime soon.”
Chu Zhou nodded and said calmly.
…
The Jin family.
Jin Jingmao immediately slammed the table angrily after seeing the news report.
“No wonder they didn’t reply for so long. It turns out that they were killed by the fallen martial artists.”
“I wasted 100,000 Alliance Dollars!”
“Hmph, consider that kid lucky!”
Jin Jingmao’s face was gloomy. It would not be good for him to find someone to attack Chu Zhou so soon after the plan was foiled this time.
Recently, the actions of the fallen martial artists in Jiang City had been too rampant. All the police officers in Jiang City were on high alert.
It would easily cause a “misunderstanding” if he made any moves.
…
At Chu Zhou’s house.
After dinner, he sat down and waited for his digestion to complete. Then, he immediately checked his Attribute Board.
Attribute Points: 0.7 (+0.45)
During this dinner, his attribute points had increased by 0.45!
The high-energy food feast he ate in school only increased his attribute points by 0.15.
The attribute points obtained from a meal of Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat was three times that of ordinary high-energy food.
Chu Zhou was overjoyed.
“Looks like there’s no need to stay in school for the time being. I can eat at home for every meal!”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself. He had made up his mind.
High school rules were actually more flexible. Students could choose whether or not to live on campus.
Many students choose to stay in school mainly because it provides cheap high-energy food.
There was naturally no need for him to stay on campus now that Chu Zhou could eat Iron Thorn Wild Boar meat at home.
Two days of vacation pa.s.sed quickly.
Chu Zhou still chose to return home.
He ate three meals a day at home.
In the morning, he would wake up at 5:30 am and rush to the school’s martial arts cla.s.sroom before 6 am to cultivate with Big Sister Dao.
Soon, another two days pa.s.sed.
It was Tuesday.
Chu Zhou sat cross-legged on the gra.s.s in the small forest near his school where he had tested the Curved Hand Blade previously. He brought up the Attribute Board.
…
Name: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field 3.6)
Attribute points: 6.1 (+5.4)
Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level Three (Not Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
Curved Hand Blade (D-rank): Level 4 – Perfection Realm (Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
Sharp Blade Kick (D-rank): Level 2 – Proficient Realm (Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
…
“I can finally level up again!”
“Upgrade the Curved Hand Blade!”
With a thought, Chu Zhou’s Attribute Board flickered and became blurry.
At the same time, a large number of cultivation memories and details appeared in his mind.
A moment later, the Attribute Board became clear again.
Curved Hand Blade (D-Rank): Level 5 – Intent Realm (Not enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
The Curved Hand Blade was finally upgraded to the Intent Realm after spending five Attribute Points.
