“This year, Qingping City has produced several geniuses. There’s a youth surnamed Wang who is only 13 years old, but his attributes have reached 16 points. Most notably, his strength is at 20 points.”

“What the f*ck? How is he so amazing? I’m already 26 years old, yet, my strength is only 7 points even though I work hard every day.”

“Wang? Isn’t he a descendant of the richest family in our city?”

“That’s nothing. You’ve heard of the Liu family, right? They also live in our city. Their descendant is a girl named Liu Yin and she’s 15 years old this year. She has about 20 points on average. Needless to say, she immediately attracted the principal’s attention. There’s no limit to her future. In less than ten years, we’ll be watching her on TV.”

“Sigh… If only my son could also be so powerful.”

“If your son can get into the martial arts academy, then your Zhou family will be blessed for eight lifetimes.”

Those conversations took place on the bus to Qinghe County. Since it was the martial arts examination period, this was a hot topic. Almost everyone would talk about it.

Qin Feng leaned against the glass window and looked at the passing scenery. He was not interested in these discussions.

In any era or generation, there would always be geniuses. Qin Feng was not surprised at all. Even the original host of this body had heard things like this countless times. In a first-grade coastal town, there lived a wealthy family. Their son was only fourteen years old, but his attributes averaged at fifty points each. In total, he accumulated more than two hundred points.

After this information was revealed, he received an advanced acceptance from Tsinghua University. It was a top-tier academy. Millions of people wanted to enter, but this academy only accepted three thousand students per year and not a single more. It was basically a one in a hundred thousand chance.

Their entrance test had to be taken before one turned eighteen. Moreover, the individual’s attributes had to exceed thirty. That was only the first test. There would still be more to follow. Only by passing all the tests, one would be accepted into Tsinghua University. In smaller cities, those who had twenty points in their attributes were considered geniuses. Unfortunately, that number was nothing when it came to big cities.

“We’ve arrived in Qinghe County. Quickly get off!”

While Qin Feng’s imagination was running wild, the driver suddenly shouted at him. The young man immediately carried his backpack on his shoulder and got off along with several other people. Once he got off, he took a deep breath of the sweet countryside air.

Qin Feng did not come to hike. He had to return to his hometown because he no longer had sufficient funds.

There were only two paths in front of him. First, he could become a farmer and marry someone’s daughter. Perhaps his son could inherit his wish to become a martial artist. The second choice was that he could continue practicing martial arts every day in his former house. Qin Feng did not really have a lot of choices.

Regardless, he felt good being back in his hometown. At least he could save some money this way. Qingping City was a third-grade town. Although the living cost was not high, he was still an orphan without any support. Without wasting any more time, Qin Feng headed toward his old home.

About an hour later, he finally reached his destination. His old house was located in the innermost part of the village. Even though the house was old, it was still very big. The small pond in front of the house was enough to make it look grand. After bypassing the pond, Qin Feng was standing in front of the gate. Unfortunately, the gate looked extremely rusted. It would take at least a few days just to clean it.

Qin Feng entered the house and placed his backpack down on a random spot. Then, he went to the grocery store to buy some cleaning supplies. Unbeknownst to him, the moment he left the old house, it slightly changed. The pond emitted a multicolored light but turned back to normal almost immediately.

Lights were also shining from the dozens of rooms. A small tree in the courtyard that was about to die suddenly became straightened. In a blink of an eye, tender green leaves began forming. Under the leaves, there was a small fruit. Upon closer inspection, the fruit was actually branded with a totem of flames. Everything came and went away quickly.
