Unable to withstand the repeated questioning from Aunt and Mo Xixi, Jiang Yuan admitted.
"My awakened talent is indeed more than E Level, and my job change is not a regular Assassin."
"For some reasons, I feel it's better to keep it hidden."
"Becoming a Martial Artist was also just a few days ago. Killing that Abyss monster made my level increase."
"I haven't told my parents about any of this yet. They don't know either."
"As for the money, it is indeed my signing fee for joining the guild, so you can rest assured."
The three of them, including Aunt, fell silent for several minutes after listening.
Only then did Mo Lingfeng ask, "Then your current level is...?"
"LV9." Jiang Yuan said sheepishly, "I went to the Abyss these past few days. I lied because I was afraid you would worry... I'm sorry for making you worry."
"..." The three members of Aunt's family were speechless at this moment, too shocked to know where to begin.
It took less than half a month to go from 3 points of Qi and blood during the Awakening ceremony to becoming a Martial Artist, and during this time, he also killed a LV7 Abyss monster.
He snuck out to go to the Abyss, was gone for three days, and came back a LV9 First-Order peak job-changed Martial Artist.
When did leveling up become so simple?
You should know that ordinary novice Hunters teaming up to go into the Abyss can only kill one after several days, and the experience is shared equally.
After LV6, Hunters with insufficient ability often can't even level up once a year.
Not to mention the professional Martial Artists who die at the hands of Abyss monsters as soon as they enter the Abyss, or those whose Dao Heart is broken after witnessing the death of their companions and give up entering the Abyss; their levels are fixed there for life.
Someone has done a statistic.
Within ten years, those who persist in entering the Abyss to kill fierce beasts and constantly level up to improve themselves only account for 10% of all humanity, and those above Third-Order only account for 5% of this group.
Most people in human society without outstanding Aptitude will still choose to be ordinary people in society, working in companies like Aunt and her husband, living stable lives, and spending a protected ordinary life, at least without the danger of death.
On the premise of having only one life, killing monsters to level up is not really as simple as in a game.
If you persist, you either die or become one of the very few strong individuals!
For ordinary people, Second-Order and Third-Order job-changed Martial Artists are already considered quite powerful individuals.
That's why Mo Lingfeng and Tao Yufeng were so shocked when they heard Jiang Yuan's current level.
Their own 17-year-old nephew.
Half a month ago, they were still worried about whether he could get into a third-tier Martial University and his future prospects.
Half a month later, he transformed into a quasi-Second-Order Martial Artist whom they all had to look up to.
It's simply...
"Unbelievable...!!" Mo Lingfeng's voice of emotion seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "A quasi-Second-Order Martial Artist before the college entrance examination... If your parents knew, they would definitely be scared weak in the knees."
"My legs are already weak." Tao Yufeng said with a bitter smile, plopping down onto the sofa.
Not only her, but Mo Xixi also seemed to have drunk fake wine and become dizzy, her feet feeling like they were stepping on cotton, almost unable to stand steadily.
"You, are you really my Brother Yuan? You're not a monster pretending to be him?!"
"..." Jiang Yuan knew this would happen.
He looked at Yan Runan and said, "Miss Yan, if there's nothing else, could I ask you to leave first today?"
Yan Runan was taken aback. Normally, she came and went as she pleased, and others couldn't welcome and flatter her enough. This was the first time someone had actively asked her to leave.
However, she didn't care about these things.
"Okay."
"Uncle and Aunt, I'll be leaving now. Xixi sister, let's eat cake together next time."
"Ah~" Mo Xixi was very reluctant, "You're leaving already? Stay a little longer..."
Yan Runan smiled and said, "Next time, next time I'll take you to [Shang Qingtian] for dim sum."
Mo Xixi's eyes immediately lit up, "Really?!"
"Of course."
Jiang Yuan escorted her to the door.
Before leaving, Yan Runan spoke to him seriously, "Jiang student, do you remember what I said last time? With your strength, you can definitely apply for Shenwu University."
"Shenwu University only recruits 50 people in one province each year. Do you really believe I can squeeze into the top 50 in the province?"
Yan Runan smiled and pointed to her eyes covered by black satin, "I believe my own eyes."
"In my opinion, those few attention-grabbing geniuses in Nanjiang City who awakened S-Class talents and Epic-level professions are still a bit lacking compared to you."
Jiang Yuan neither confirmed nor denied this.
"Believe me, what you can gain at Shenwu University is not comparable to what you can get at the other three top Martial Universities. One of the three demigods of Great Xia was the former principal of Shenwu Academy."
"Whether it's the number of Secret Realms or the quality of strong individuals and students, Shenwu University is undoubtedly the first. The preferential treatment for students is also top-tier."
"You can think about it carefully."
Jiang Yuan's first choice in his heart was also Shenwu University, but he still said calmly, "Let's talk about everything after the college entrance examination."
...After seeing off Yan Runan, Jiang Yuan went through another round of questioning at the table.
Only then did he dispel the doubts of Mo Lingfeng and the other two, confirming that the young man in front of them was indeed the nephew (cousin) they had watched grow up, and his body had not been occupied by a monster.
"This is great, simply great."
"If your sister knew how promising Xiao Yuan you are now, she would definitely be very happy."
Tao Yufeng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled so widely she couldn't close her mouth, feeling both happy and relieved.
Mo Lingfeng nodded and asked Jiang Yuan, "When do you plan to tell them about this?"
"After the college entrance examination," Jiang Yuan smiled, "I want to give them a surprise during the college entrance examination."
He also had a plan hidden in his heart.
His father was a sentry in the army, and his mother was a nurse within the Beijiang City hospital system. They had been separated for a long time and could only meet once in a while. If he could get into a top Martial University, he could use the connections of the top Martial University to let them not have to work anymore, or transfer their jobs, allowing them to both come and live in Nanjiang City.
This way, he would also feel more at ease.
Mo Lingfeng nodded, "Whatever you do, as long as you have a plan, that's fine. Your Aunt and I will support you from behind."
"Thank you, Uncle. There's also something else. I plan to move out soon," Jiang Yuan said. Tao Yufeng blurted out, "How can you do that? You're not an adult yet..."
Mo Lingfeng put his hand on her shoulder and interrupted, "Although he's not an adult yet, in terms of strength, he's already reached a height we can't reach."
He looked at Jiang Yuan, "There must be a reason why you want to move out, right?"
"I'm afraid I'll disturb you."
Tao Yufeng quickly said, "How could that be...? You've been living here for three years, and we're all used to it."
Mo Xixi nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes."
Mo Lingfeng smiled, "That was before. I heard that a quasi-Second-Order job-changed Martial Artist can shatter rocks and even steel with just a little force. A training ground needs to be as big as a basketball court."
He looked at Jiang Yuan and sighed, "For you, our home is indeed too small."
Jiang Yuan smiled sheepishly.
Tao Yufeng also found it hard to say anything more.
"Then I'll go back to my room first. Aunt, remember to take these tonics. These gene potions are for Xixi; she's at the age when her Qi and blood are growing."
Holding the gene potions that Jiang Yuan had stuffed into her hand, Mo Xixi felt like she was in a dream, her whole body light and floating.
I never thought that I, Mo Xixi, would one day become rich and have the freedom of gene potions... It felt like a dream.
Unlike Mo Xixi, Tao Yufeng waved her hands repeatedly, "These tonics are too precious. Keep them for your parents..."
"I've also sent some to them, so you can rest assured," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. Only then were the two of them reluctantly willing to accept.
After doing all this.
Jiang Yuan returned to his room to pack.
Tao Yufeng looked at the tonics in her hand and sighed, "I never thought we would have such good fortune... If word gets out, others will probably be envious to death."
"Yes..."
"This is great!! I have a Genius cousin who is a quasi-Second-Order job-changed Martial Artist! I have a Genius cousin who is a quasi-Second-Order job-changed Martial Artist!!!"
"Brother Yuan is truly amazing!!"
"If Qingqing and the others knew, they would definitely be envious to death!!"
"Hahahahaha, from today onwards, I, Mo Xixi, am also someone with a backer!!!"
Mo Xixi jumped barefoot on the sofa, acting like she was crazy, extremely excited.
Tao Yufeng said disapprovingly, "This crazy girl, she doesn't know to learn more from her cousin."
But as she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh happily as well.
Under the warm yellow light, the family in the living room was full of smiles, feeling both proud and self-satisfied.
Jiang Yuan saw this scene through the crack in the door and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Although it was Aunt's family, they had long since become family to him.
He hoped to be reunited with his parents like this soon, as a family.
