I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

[You helped Lin Molong take revenge for his severe injury in an impeccable manner, earning his sincere gratitude and hence, the world's Origin Will's favor. Origin Value +157!]

[You helped Xu Shilin take revenge in an impeccable manner, earning his heartfelt gratitude and hence, the world's Origin Will's favor. Origin Value +132!]

[You helped Ge Ruoyu take revenge in an impeccable manner, earning her deep gratitude and hence, the world's Origin Will's favor. Origin Value +199!]

In just one day.

Xu Lingjun, using various pretexts like getting stepped on or accidentally bumped into, or having someone return his things minus an important treasure, confronted three senior True Transformation students in the Martial Arts Arena three times in a row.

As a result, he earned a total of 670 Source Value in a day, enough to imbue a Vibranium Armor with a new Talent Source.

This definitely beats making money in the Secret Realm.

Xu Lingjun couldn't help but feel that good deeds really do get rewarded.

If Xu Lingjun wasn't concerned about collateral damage or innocent people getting hurt because of him, he might not have discovered this method of obtaining Source Value.

In each of the four battles, he would first take a punch to apologize, and then send the opponent flying with one of his own...

Lightweight Step?

Flame Slaying Fist?

Are you kidding me, do I need that?

Xu Lingjun now acts like a high-attack, high-defense warrior. In the wild, he might need high-speed pursuit, but in the arena, the Martial Arts Arena isn't that big.

All he needs to do is gather energy, and then with one punch, his opponent kneels on the ground, willingly listening to Xu Lingjun's sincere apologies.

Four seconds, so what?

Even at nine seconds, you can't hit me.

Unable to hit, unable to dodge, those True Transformation Martial Artists are all so aggrieved.

And earning Source Value is secondary; Xu Lingjun's reputation surprisingly spread among the freshmen.

Someone with a penchant for drama unraveled the story behind these events.

Then people were amazed to find that these four students, who Xu Lingjun pummeled to their knees, had previously bullied the freshmen for ridiculous reasons...

And Xu Lingjun, using exactly the same excuses, bullied back with pinpoint accuracy.

But he is still somewhat thin-skinned, thus he'd take a punch before each fight as a form of apology.

For the time being, Xu Lingjun's reputation soared among the freshmen to a matchless level.

Previously hidden among the crowd, Xu Lingjun has suddenly become the King Without a Crown among the new students...

To think that he could beat up four senior students in a day, each with a single move, Xu Lingjun might just be a freshman, but his strength is already immensely superior to theirs.

"Thank you, Xu Tongxue, for standing up for me,"

Ge Ruoyu, with her arm in a sling, and her peach blossom eyes filled with emotions towards Xu Lingjun, looked sympathetically at his torn clothes and said softly, "Your jacket is torn too; should I sew it for you?"

"No need. If the clothes are torn, just toss them; they're just a few hundred bucks,"

Xu Lingjun said with a smile while taking off his jacket.

"Then how about you give me your contact info so I can transfer some compensation to you?"

Ge Ruoyu persisted, "I'm just so grateful to you. What should I do if I really want to repay you?"

"It's really nothing worth mentioning. If you feel uncomfortable about it, just help me with my chores during my duty days each month,"

Xu Lingjun chuckled as he politely distanced himself from Ge Ruoyu's insistence...

Ah, women are really troublesome.

That's why he waited to deal with Ge Ruoyu's enemy last, fearing she'd misunderstand… in the end, this woman still misunderstood, thinking he was standing up specifically for her and added a few people to shyly cover it up.

Women, when their thoughts diverge, even men can't catch up.

So truly, having no women in mind leads to clear and divine wielding of the blade; there's truth in it, except for Sister Yaya, women are just obstacles on my path of cultivation.

Arriving home, he calculated that it was around the time Li Jingjun would be leaving the Secret Realm too.

Xu Lingjun didn't really have much interaction with her, less so than his deep connection with Pang Hu...

At least Pang Hu eagerly kneaded him every day.

Though he couldn't enjoy that feeling.

However, after confirming Pang Hu is a female cat, he decided once Sister Yaya arrives, she'll get to enjoy this sensation; surely she'll find it quite delightful.

Although they had little communication, he felt he understood Li Jingjun's personality well.

Being diligent to the last minute, she would definitely spend all three days in there… despite being from a grand family, she is unexpectedly frugal.

As for now, excluding the four targeted individuals like He Ziming, Li Jingjun seems likely to become another target. He didn't want to help her after the fact.

Be prepared before it rains.

Back home, changing into his school uniform, Xu Lingjun scooped up Pang Hu and said: "Let's go, time to pick up your master's departure."

Pang Hu meowed, somewhat unwilling to leave the cozy warm bed...

Huffing and puffing, she swatted her paws at Xu Lingjun, yet ended up draped over his shoulder as he headed out.

Along the way…

He exchanged greetings with a few unfamiliar classmates… usually, they would sneak glances and whisper about him without ever approaching.

But in one day, his reputation had soared.

Even the shyest student couldn't help but greet Xu Lingjun with a friendly smile.

Xu Lingjun smiled and nodded back, making his way towards the Secret Realm.

Meanwhile,

In the Tier Four student residential area.

A spacious single dorm was crowded with people.

Sitting and standing…

About twenty or thirty people, among them only two newly recruited freshmen had weak strength, while the rest were at least of the True Transformation Realm.

Qu Zhengying, about twenty-five or six years old this year,

dressed in plain and simple attire, looked clean-cut, almost like a gentle scholar.

It's hard to believe he's already a Profound Realm Martial Artist.

In fact, on the Dongxuan Hundred Names List, he ranks sixty-seventh; among the students of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, he is quite top-tier in terms of strength.

Keep in mind that many students who reached the Profound Realm had already gone to the Outer Realm for training.

The list positions seldom change; otherwise, his rank would be higher.

But right now, ranking can't help him.

The ongoing issues have somewhat spun out of his control.

He asked, "How are Old Ying and the others' injuries?"

"Not so good,"

Wang Yuan answered, "The injured areas have comminuted fractures, and the extent of the damage is severe, nearly all ribs are broken. Although not life-threatening, but preventing fractured ribs from piercing internal organs might require three to four months of bed rest, especially since their legs are also broken, the recovery time will be longer."

Broken legs…

Qu Zhengying knew this; Xu Lingjun's catchphrase seemed to be "Can you kneel properly for my apology?"

And afterward, they all knelt.

"This is also for everyone's sake, how about this? I'll cover their hospital expenses, and grant an additional twenty academic credits to each of them."

The group nodded.

Though their expressions didn't improve, twenty academic credits?

A decent sum, but not much… at least not more than what could be earned in three or four months, especially for those in the True Transformation Realm, given their increased dependence on Elixirs and Spiritual Elixirs. Their consumption of academic credits skyrockets, already leaving them with limited reserves.

It's conceivable that Ying Yuanchong and others, laying in bed for a few months, would be troubled by next year's routine academic credit issues, 20 credits? It's a drop in the bucket.

Then accumulated interest upon interest…

Frustrating, isn't it?

"So, what's next?"

Qu Zhengying asked.

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Then... should we still search for Jigsaw?"

Someone cautiously asked.

Qu Zhengying frowned and said, "Of course, we need to find him. Liu Yun and others are my students after all. They were injured, and repeatedly robbed by that Jigsaw in the Secret Realm, expenses aside, even their Spiritual Protection Devices were turned off, this vendetta can't be left unchecked."

"But that Xu Lingjun…"

"Can't you just avoid him?"

Qu Zhengying rolled his eyes, "We're looking for Jigsaw, what's that got to do with Xu Lingjun?"
