"I can't believe you convinced me to do this!"
Inside a taxi, Li Siyao muttered stubbornly, an indignant expression on her face.
"What are you talking about? It's not like you're doing anything wrong," Yang Mingxue replied with a shrug.
After all, only she needed to attend the afternoon meditation class. Li Siyao had not yet reached the level of a nine star martial apprentice.
Technically, the only one skipping class was her.
"But… now I'm your accomplice… imagine if your brother finds out," Li Siyao continued in a low voice, afraid the driver might overhear them.
What if the driver decided to take them back to school after discovering they were skipping class?
"Why does it feel like you're more afraid of my brother than of me?" Yang Mingxue chuckled softly.
"He's scary!" Li Siyao muttered, recalling those days when he taught her how to train.
Her body trembled slightly.
Trying to think of something else, she asked, "But, Mingxue, are you sure? You just broke through to nine star martial apprentice!"
She truly did not know where Yang Mingxue got so much confidence to certify herself as a warrior.
After all… she was only a nine star martial apprentice.
Even if she only needed to hold out against a warrior for ten minutes, that was not easy at all.
Even some newly promoted warriors could barely complete the test.
"I have to succeed!" Yang Mingxue murmured, her expression heavy.
She had no choice.
Next month, she and her brother would have no income at all. And even if her brother was a warrior, with crippled legs, he would not be able to get a good job.
Moreover, her brother already had debts with the Martial Alliance and could not get any more loans.
Perhaps… they would not even have food to eat next month.
That was the real reason she had thought about selling the resources earlier, but her brother had completely stopped her.
Later, she thought it through and realized it made sense.
If the sale of resources were discovered, the consequences would be terrifying for an ordinary family like theirs.
She knew that unless she became a warrior, there was no way she could help her brother.
That was why, today, she would do everything she could to succeed.
It was only ten minutes.
As long as she remained conscious at the end of the fight… she would make it.
It was her turn to sacrifice herself for the sake of her family!
"The fare is 34 yuan," the driver finally glanced back.
The two girls had been talking for several minutes and had not even noticed they had already arrived.
"Ah, sorry," Li Siyao apologized quickly.
After pulling Yang Mingxue out of the car, she continued,
"Sorry about that, uncle," Li Siyao bowed after getting out.
On the other hand, Yang Mingxue looked at the enormous building located at the center of the inner city.
'Martial Alliance… today is the day I become a certified warrior.'

"It's done!" Yang Hu finally showed a smile.
After several hours, he had finally finished refining the Blood Baptism Liquid.
"Put it in the box," Yang Hu instructed Li Yang, who had been dazed the entire time.
Originally, he had heard that an alchemist usually had two or three assistants inside the room.
Although he did not understand anything, he was always ready to help at any moment.
But… who would have thought that Yang Hu could control vital energy so easily while refining pills?
He had basically been standing there as decoration.
Now that he finally had something to do, he naturally rushed over as fast as he could to help.
He had not forgotten his goal.
He wanted to become Yang Hu's personal driver.
Yang Hu, unaware of these thoughts, watched Li Yang put the bottles into the box and could not help but shake his head slightly.
Unfortunately, he was still too poor and did not possess a storage bracelet.
After Li Yang packed everything into the box, Yang Hu immediately left the room.
As soon as he stepped out, he ran into Yue Yuxia, who seemed to be waiting for him.
"Master Yang, do you need anything else?"
"I want to sell the Blood Baptism Liquid," Yang Hu said directly.
"Sir, our company has its own alchemists and we are not purchasing Blood Baptism Liquid."
"Of course, there are exceptions. As long as it reaches the third grade, the Ouyang Pharmaceutical Group will welcome it with open arms."
After saying that, Yue Yuxia fixed her innocent eyes on Yang Hu.
After learning about Yang Hu's purchase, her superior had already instructed her to pay close attention to him.
After all, those who bought third level ferocious beast blood were extremely rare.
Aside from a few specific second level pills, third level ferocious beast blood was only useful to a third grade alchemist.
The manager had even suspected that a third grade master alchemist was coming.
But when Yue Yuxia mentioned his age, he immediately lost interest and did not pursue it further.
There were only two third level alchemists in the entire city of Luoyang.
Even if there were a third, how could it possibly be a twenty year old young man?
Even so, following his professionalism, the manager still left Yue Yuxia in charge of handling any special situations.
"Yes, it's third level," Yang Hu nodded lightly.
"A genuine third level Blood Baptism Liquid, fourth grade!"
