Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Area A, the Su family.

"My dear daughter, you've got nothing better to do than sit around doing nothing."

"Why don't you play some games with your old father?"

Wu Yongyi crept up to his daughter, his face full of ingratiating smiles.

On the sofa, Su Lingling was engrossed in reading a thick "Encyclopedia of Pregnancy".

She was very attentive to the task, hoping to give Yang Xiansheng a healthy and exceptionally gifted baby in the future.

Hearing her father's words, the girl didn't even lift her eyelids, her slender fingers turning a page of the book.

"Dad, aren't all those single-player anime games with cute girls the ones you play? Do you really need someone to play with you?"

"Hehe, it's not that I can't handle it all by myself..." Wu Yongyi rubbed his hands together. "There are so many characters to raise and so many materials to farm, I can't manage it all by myself."

Su Lingling finally looked up from her book and gave him a big eye roll.

"Go play by yourself! If you really can't, find someone to play for you! Don't bother me, I'm busy learning how to be a good mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated slightly.

The screen lit up, displaying a new message.

Su Lingling picked up the phone, glanced at it, and immediately jumped up from the sofa.

"My little darling, slow down! What's making you so agitated?" Wu Yongyi was startled and almost dropped the handle.

Su Lingling's face was filled with excitement and eagerness: "Dad! I want to go to Area B!"

"No way! Absolutely not!" Wu Yongyi resolutely refused.

"You are now under special protection. During your pregnancy, you cannot go anywhere, and you absolutely cannot leave Zone A!"

"This is your mother's order, a direct command!"

The mere mention of this made Su Lingling furious.

That's why, when Yang Xian went to the core area to compete, she could only stay at home.

The results of it?

As a result, Jiang Mengyun succeeded and spent so much time alone with Yang Xian in the core area!

"This time is different!" Su Lingling argued. "Yang Xian is back, and he even invited me to his house! It's to meet his parents!"

"Meeting the parents?" Wu Yongyi stroked his chin.

"Meeting the parents is a good thing, but given your current situation..."

"Forget it, I still need to ask your mother's opinion before I can leave Area A..."

at the same time.

Chengwu University, Jingxiuping on the back mountain.

"Xiao Chen, do you think Bai Chuyi... might not be suited for martial arts at all?"

An old man looked worried and sighed deeply.

Principal Huang Meng and his assistant Xiao Chen were watching Bai Chuyi resting under the pavilion from afar.

Both of them looked somewhat bewildered.

"How could that be?"

Xiao Chen immediately retorted, "Principal, she's an SS-level talent martial artist! A martial arts prodigy, one in a century! How could she not be suitable?"

In the past two months, Bai Chuyi's cultivation level has improved at a terrifying speed.

From the initial stage of the first realm when he first enrolled, he has soared all the way to the initial stage of the third realm, directly spanning two major realms.

This speed is simply astonishing.

But in stark contrast, her progress in martial arts training was... utterly appalling.

"But it took her two whole months to barely learn the most basic 'Qi-inducing Technique'."

Principal Huang's voice was filled with frustration, "This progress can't just be described as bad, it's simply..."

He couldn't find a suitable word.

It should be noted that for students who can get into martial arts universities, an introductory mental technique like the "Qi-Inducing Technique" can be fully mastered in half a day.

Some exceptionally talented individuals may have completed the task in less than two hours.

Even for martial artists with mediocre talent, three to five days would be enough.

But Huang Meng never expected that an SS-level student hailed as a peerless genius would take two whole months to barely learn it.

Is this reasonable?

It's like a top student from Tsinghua or Peking University who just can't learn basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division like a first-grader.

"Uh..." Xiao Chen also got stuck:

"Could it be...some other reason?"

"Is she not interested in martial arts techniques themselves? Or does she understand the techniques differently from ordinary people?"

"Or perhaps her physical structure is different from ordinary people, requiring special methods to guide her?"

"Impossible!" Principal Huang categorically denied.

"I used every trick in the book to teach her!"

"At first, I thought it was because I wasn't good enough. Later, I secretly asked a few other teachers in the school, but they were all helpless with Bai Chuyi!"

Huang Meng became more and more agitated as he spoke, feeling like he was about to go crazy.

If it takes so long to learn even the most basic breathing techniques, what hope is there if one learns more profound Heaven-level techniques in the future?

Despite possessing unparalleled SS-level talent, he couldn't even learn the simplest martial arts technique.

Even if his cultivation level rises higher in the future, he will still be nothing more than a paper tiger with empty true energy.

Am I, Huang Meng, to bury the brilliance of such a genius with my own hands?

Am I to become a sinner in the history of Chengwu University, to be nailed to the pillar of shame by future generations?

I'm not reconciled!

"headmaster……"

Seeing his principal's heartbroken expression, Xiao Chen didn't know how to comfort him.

Just then, Bai Chuyi, who seemed to have rested enough, walked towards them from the pavilion.

The girl's long, light blue hair fluttered in the wind, and her fair face held a touch of natural naivety.

"Teacher," she greeted Huang Meng politely as she walked up to him.

"Hmm, have you rested well?" Principal Huang composed himself, trying to appear as calm as possible. "If you've rested well, then continue your cultivation."

"Teacher, I want to go home for a while," Bai Chuyi suddenly said.

"Go home? No way!" Principal Huang refused without even thinking. "Bai Chuyi, your cultivation progress has fallen far behind. You must seize every second to make up for the lost time!"

"But..." Bai Chuyi tilted her head, "Da Yang is back, and I want to go back to be with him."

"Da Yang?" Principal Huang was taken aback, then realized what he meant.

It refers to her guardian, Yang Xian.

"Sigh—!" Principal Huang let out a long sigh:

"It's not that I don't want you to go back... If your studies progressed faster, I wouldn't have to worry about you so much."

"How about this, if you can master the basics of the 'Starry Sky Body Tempering Technique'..."

"I'll agree to let you go back!"
