Chapter 54: Never Inferior to Anyone in This Lifetime

[However, you didn't pay too much attention to this little episode.]

[You have a pretty good grasp of the power wielded by the Federation's prominent families.]

[Just like how your last simulation allowed Lin Xue to transfer to Cloud City First High, if Du Yuhan didn't want to stay at Cloud City First High, the Du family behind her also had the ability to transfer her to an even better institution of learning.]

[However, just because you didn't care about Du Yuhan didn't mean Du Yuhan wasn't paying attention to you.]

[Ever since she was a child, she had been a favored daughter of the heavens, and striving for the number one spot was a family motto of the Du family.]

[After all, on the transcendent path, not striving means falling behind, and falling behind usually means being carved up and devoured by other prominent families.]

[Yet when she learned of your life story, she was shocked by your talent.]

[According to a professional analysis organization under the Du family that conducted a comprehensive analysis of you, they were eighty percent certain that you might be one of those few dual-talent Awakeners.]

[The remaining twenty percent was the speculation that you might be the illegitimate child of some high-ranking Federation official. Because your identity was inconvenient to make public, you could only be provided with massive resources for secret cultivation.]

[However, due to unspeakable reasons, the analysis organization still felt that the former was more likely, and that your Black-Iron tier talent was merely a facade you presented.]

[An extremely high-tier secondary talent was what truly impressed your behind-the-scenes investors, causing them to pour even more resources into you.]

[But at the end of the day, the resources you enjoyed were definitely not as abundant as hers.]

[Therefore, she refused to accept being surpassed by you.]

[She came to Cloud City First High precisely to surpass you and crush you here.]

[However, when she perceived the embryonic form of the Red Heart Battle Regiment you were building, this very same thought surged within her heart.]

[The scions of the Du family shall never yield to others throughout their lives!]

[In this era where talent is decreed by fate, she only possessed a Gold-tier talent, which perhaps paled in comparison to your mysterious secondary talent.]

[Yet having received her family's cultivation since childhood, she would definitely surpass you in the aspect of building a battle regiment!]

[In fact, in some paranoid plans of hers, she even wanted to cast aside the Du family's assistance and compete with you using pure personal charm and capability.]

[Upon learning of this matter, the head of the Du family let out a heavy sigh.]

[My daughter!]

[From awakening your profession to the grand examination, these three months are practically the watershed of your future life.]

[You were born into the Du family, enjoying top-tier transcendent resources from childhood to cleanse your flesh and soul. After awakening your talent, you even utilized top-tier instruments and various high-end auxiliary accessories arranged by the family to help you refine God-given crystals.]

[Even when feeling distressed, you had top-tier psychological counselors to resolve your worries.]

[Even your daily expenditure on food reached a height that ordinary families could never hope to accept.]

[Under such formidable and superior conditions, if your level still failed to surpass the other party, how on earth did you dare to place your own conditions on the same level as theirs for competition?]

[Do you have some special fetish for seeking self-abuse?]

[If the other party surpassed you to win the grand examination's top scorer, and you wish to contend with them, I support you.]

[But to have resources and refuse to use them, or even deliberately cast them aside to maintain so-called fairness—that is something only a complete idiot whose brain was kicked by a donkey would do!]

[If you insist on pursuing absolute fairness, why don't you simply cripple your own level and talent, and then use Soul Spirit Water to wash your physique and soul back to their initial stages?]

[Under such circumstances, without the Du family providing you with any assistance, let's see if you could rely on your own abilities to find an investor, and then rush to Level 16 within three months?]

[Du Yuhan fell into silence...]

[Without uttering another word, Du Yuhan began to take over the battle team development plan compiled for her by her father.]

[Wanting to build a battle regiment—unless the family already supports one, or one is the son of a commander himself—one can only start step-by-step from the level of a battle team.]

[When she saw the astronomical expenses required to build the embryonic form of a battle regiment, she suddenly felt that you were bound to lose without a doubt.]

[After all, building a battle regiment is not something a lone wolf with meager power like you can accomplish.]

[Without a family supporting you from behind, without the family's vast resources and network of relationships as a backing, what kind of battle regiment could one possibly build?]

[Faced with Du Yuhan's somewhat biased perspective, the Du family head shook his head once more.]

[Heroes in this world are as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.]

[Only a brain-atrophied fool would believe that everyone else is also a fool!]

[Since you were able to surpass Du Yuhan in the grand examination to become the provincial top scorer, it proves that you undoubtedly possess secrets unknown to others.]

[With these secrets, building a battle regiment is by no means an impossible feat for you.]

[Du Yuhan fell into silence once again...]

[随后，她开始按照规划书上的内容，先组建了一个战队，对江城考上云城一大的职业者进行招聘。]

[You remained completely unaware of the actions taken by Du Yuhan and the Du family.]

[At this moment, you arrived at the Cloud City First High principal's office, incarnating as an unashamed requester to demand high-grade God-given crystals from the old principal.]

[The ordinary lecturers and counselors of Cloud City First High were all Second-Transition professionals.]

[Consequently, Cloud City First High possessed a rather considerable stockpile of high-grade God-given crystals.]

[However, the moment you opened your mouth to ask for five hundred pieces, it scared the old principal out of his wits.]

[Even though you were the provincial top scorer, they couldn't just hand over five hundred high-grade God-given crystals the moment you stepped through the door.]

[Yet when you assured the old principal that you would definitely assemble the Red Heart Battle Regiment before graduation, the old principal fell silent.]

[Especially when you handed over the blueprint for the Red Heart Battle Regiment in your hand, a strange and unfathomable radiance flickered across the old principal's aged face.]

[Moments later, the old principal closed the plan and looked at you, raising his own doubts.]

[This plan of yours is excellent.]

[However, do you have a way to resolve the massive funds involved in it?]

[Building a battle regiment involves astronomical funds.]

[Even if Cloud City First High pooled all its resources to support it, without external assistance, it would still be unable to build a battle regiment.]

[After all, the equipment, skills, runes, and God-given crystals for battle regiment professionals each represent a massive consumption of funds.]

[Without a torrential supply of capital, building a battle regiment can only remain a fantasy.]

[Faced with the old principal's doubt, you smiled faintly.]

[I will prove this matter to you with practical actions.]

[And before I prove it to you, would you like to invest in me in advance?]

[Or rather, make an early investment in the Red Heart Battle Regiment?]

[Hearing your words, the old principal chuckled dumbfoundedly.]

[He then stated that five hundred high-grade God-given crystals would be delivered to the gathering place of the Red Heart Battle Team tonight.]

[He was willing to trust you, but he also hoped that you would not辜负 (let down) his good intentions.]

[Naturally, you would never let down the old principal's trust!]

[In fact, what you envisioned went beyond just the Red Heart Battle Regiment; you even wanted to elevate Cloud City First High's school regulations to a higher tier.]

[It was simply that you and the old principal were not yet familiar enough, making it inconvenient to bring up such matters just yet.]

[That night, Vice Principal Zhang of Cloud City First High personally escorted this batch of precious high-grade God-given crystals over.]

[To tell the truth, he strongly disagreed with the old principal's decision.]

[Although a top scorer is precious, the other party was merely a First-Transition professional—why on earth would the old principal approve five hundred high-grade God-given crystals?]

[To let the kid sell them for cash?]

[If it really came to that, wouldn't it be better to just give the kid money directly?]

[As the old principal's direct subordinate, he fundamentally disagreed with this decision.]
