Chapter 1 You Can Afford It Even If You Sell Me

"You little brat, your parents owe so much money, even if we sell you, you'll still have to pay it back," the aunt sneered.

The eldest uncle, Luo Ming, was much more restrained. He felt that Nie Yan's aura was completely different from before. He didn't dare to treat Nie Yan as the little kid he used to be.

"Xiaoyan, have you been exercising lately? Let Uncle Lin see what level you've reached." Lin Ya was also eager to see some talent. If his comrade's child could make something of himself, he would be happy to see it.

Lin Ya pushed Luo Ming and the others aside. Nie Yan's house was a bit cramped, but it should be enough. In fact, sparring didn't require much space. The narrower the area of engagement, the more the strength of both sides could be demonstrated.

Luo Ming and the others looked at Lin Ya in confusion. What did Lin Ya want to do?

"Yes." Nie Yan nodded. He respected Lin Ya very much and felt guilty. In his previous life, Lin Ya's family was also destroyed because of Nie Yan's family.

Lin Ya suddenly threw a punch, aiming at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan blocked with his left hand, and with a side kick, struck directly at Lin Ya's face. The wind from his leg whistled, full of force.

"Not bad leg strength." Lin Ya was even more surprised. He bent over and dodged Nie Yan's attack, then closed in with an elbow strike, smashing towards Nie Yan's back.

Nie Yan quickly dodged, turned sideways, and executed a spinning kick, a domineering force sweeping towards Lin Ya's face.

Lin Ya blocked with his elbow. With a loud thud, the great force made Lin Ya take several steps back, barely managing to steady himself by grabbing the table. He was both shocked and delighted, and laughed loudly, "Not bad, come again."

The two exchanged several moves, and it was impossible to tell who was winning. Luo Ming and the others were dazzled, and they were shocked. Lin Ya was a veteran of five years, and his skills were formidable. Ordinary five or six strong men were no match for Lin Ya, but Nie Yan could fight him for so long, and without losing ground. This was incredible.

Bang, Nie Yan and Lin Ya each took a few steps back.

"Xiaoyan, you've learned some combat, right? Not bad, Uncle Lin is old, can't compare to you young people." Lin Ya said happily, rejoicing for his old comrade. With Nie Yan's skills, as long as his academic subjects weren't too bad, there shouldn't be a problem with getting into the First Military Academy, maybe he could even be specially recruited.

"I've learned a little bit. Uncle Lin is as strong as ever." Seeing Lin Ya's hearty smile, Nie Yan felt much more relaxed.

"Being too humble isn't good either. Have you thought about what you want to apply for in the college entrance examination?" Lin Ya looked at Nie Yan nervously.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Nie Yan shook his head. He hadn't had time to consider this issue yet, after all, there was still a year to go.

"Go apply for the First Military Academy. I have a comrade who is a practical combat instructor there, I can have him help you with your application. With your skills, you'll definitely get extra points, and your academic subjects must be good too. Your father almost got in back then, and regretted it for most of his life, you can definitely do it. And the First Military Academy has a special recruitment exam in January next year, you must try it." Lin Ya said excitedly.

"Okay." Nie Yan nodded solemnly. In his previous life, he didn't get into the First Military Academy, and his father was depressed and dejected for a long time. At that time, his father seemed to have aged several years in an instant. Nie Yan decided that he must fulfill his father's dream in this life.

Hearing the words First Military Academy, Luo Ming and the others' hearts couldn't help but beat faster. The skills that Nie Yan had just displayed had frightened them. He could actually fight the veteran Lin Ya, who had experienced several battles. The Lao Liu family's child was admitted to the First Military Academy the year before last, and wasn't he still getting beaten up by Lin Ya every year he came back? On this basis, there shouldn't be a problem with Nie Yan getting into the First Military Academy.

What kind of place was the First Military Academy? It was a national-level key university specializing in training military talents. As long as you were admitted to the First Military Academy, you could get at least 60,000 in scholarships every year, and at least a company-level cadre upon entering. Each personal quality test was linked to military rank. Some people were above the regimental level when they came out of the First Military Academy.

As the saying goes, the common people don't fight with officials. If Nie Yan really made something of himself, who knew if he would hold a grudge for what happened today.

Looking at Nie Yan's cold eyes, Luo Ming and the others felt their scalps tingle.

"Luo Ming, I think if Xiaoyan can get into the First Military Academy, paying you back the debt shouldn't be a problem, right?" Lin Ya looked at Luo Ming and said. If they continued to pester him and affect the child's mood, he felt he had to step in and teach them a lesson.

"This, should... shouldn't be a problem." Lin Ya's threatening tone made Luo Ming's tone weaken.

Nie Yan's aunt, mother's sister, and second aunt didn't dare to be as harsh as before.

"Xiaoyan, work hard, and get into the First Military Academy. Auntie will be proud." Nie Yan's aunt said with an awkward smile.

"Yes, Xiaoyan, work hard, we'll go back first."

Nie Yan looked at them coldly. These snobbish guys were now starting to pretend to be friendly, but he wouldn't forgive them for it.

The aunt and others left in embarrassment one after another. Lin Ya chatted with Nie Yan for a while and cheered him on.

"Xiaoyan, work hard, you must get into the First Military Academy. If you have any difficulties, tell Uncle Lin. As long as you get into the First Military Academy, all problems are not problems, and your parents will turn things around. You work hard, Uncle Lin will leave first." Lin Ya said.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Lin." Nie Yan nodded. What Lin Ya didn't know was that Nie Yan's family didn't have to wait until he graduated to turn things around. When Nie Yan's father and mother came back this time, their family's situation would be much better.

After Lin Ya left, Nie Yan hardly went out for the whole day. He kept exercising and studying at home. Coming back once, he didn't want to live a muddled life. He wanted to work hard to control his own destiny. Seeing the faces of those relatives, Nie Yan understood even more that only when you are strong enough will those despicable villains fear you and stay away from you, otherwise, you will be oppressed by them sooner or later.

The next day, as soon as he went online, Nie Yan bought the newly appeared Black Phenol Potion and other things on the market as usual, and then went to kill the respawned Lion King Kardo and Ogre. According to the original method, killing these two elites was almost effortless. These two guys were not stingy, and gave Nie Yan three gold equipment and a lucky gem, one of which was the Black Blood Gauntlets +7 Resilience, +12 Agility, one of the Black Blood Set.

The other two pieces were equipment for priests and paladins. Nie Yan didn't plan to sell them. He wasn't short of that little money. There would be a steady stream of money coming into his hands in the future. Nie Yan would rather let these gold equipment rot in his hands than sell them. If they flowed into the market, they might end up in the hands of the enemy. If he had an acquaintance who wanted to buy them, he might consider it.

Soon, a piece of news that shook the whole server came: Soth Mountain Valley had opened!

This was exciting news, and elite teams from countless large guilds began to rush to Soth Mountain Valley.
