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

Is Chapter 377 all a lie?

During break time.

On a bench outside the campus.

A gentle breeze swept through the tree-lined path, bringing a touch of early autumn coolness.

"I'm so bored~"

"I'm so tired of having theory classes every day!"

Liu Ruyu held a cup of iced milk tea and leaned against Yang Xian's arm, looking rather unsteady.

The girl's eyelids drooped as she complained in a drawn-out tone.

She was holding a half-finished cup of milk tea, the straw of which she had bitten flat.

"Yang Xian, don't you find this boring?"

boring?

Yang Xian thought to himself.

Classes are definitely going to be boring!

What can I do?

In fact, he didn't hear a single word in class.

It was all thanks to Lin Ai, the ghost girl, who tutored him one-on-one on the mechanical and martial arts knowledge of Star City.

Even when the teacher suddenly calls on someone in class, Lin Ai tells him the answer.

Study hard and graduate!

Yang Xian uttered these eight words in a very serious manner.

"I'm going to the South China Sea with you anyway, what's the point of studying anymore!" Liu Ruyu rolled her eyes. "Let's leave here as soon as possible, then we won't have to study anymore!"

Yang Xian: "..."

"I want to go online..." Liu Ruyu stretched out a big yawn, her beautiful curves revealed under her tight vest.

She muttered something, then her eyes lit up, and she leaned close to Yang Xian's ear.

"Hey Yang Xian, next class is a training session, the teacher won't take attendance!"

"Want to go out together?"

Skipping class?

Yang Xian did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully.

This feels like a great opportunity!

As long as you get the mission to leave the city in advance and book your ticket to the city gate...

The floating transportation network of Star City is dozens of times faster than the trains of South Sea City.

They might actually be able to get out of the city before Liu Qin realizes what's happening!

"I forgot, you're a genius student at the academy, a big star..." Seeing that Yang Xian hadn't said anything for a while, Liu Ruyu pouted, feeling embarrassed, "How could you possibly go out with me?"

"I'll go out with you!"

"Right, I told you you couldn't possibly..." Liu Ruyu blurted out, then suddenly realized what she meant.

"What did you say??"

She turned around abruptly, her eyes wide.

"I said, I'll go out with you," Yang Xian repeated.

"You???" Liu Ruyu's expression was priceless. "You're going to skip class with me?"

"yes."

"Has the sun risen in the west?" Liu Ruyu stood up, hands on her hips, and looked Yang Xian up and down.

"A good student like you actually offered to skip class?"

"Are you running a fever?"

As she spoke, she actually reached out and touched Yang Xian's forehead.

Yang Xian knew in his heart that, given his usual behavior at the academy, it was indeed very unusual for him to suddenly suggest skipping class.

We need to find a reasonable excuse!

He looked at Liu Ruyu's outstretched hand and gently took it... their fingers met perfectly.

Liu Ruyu's body visibly stiffened.

"W-what are you doing?"

Yang Xian stood up and pulled her half a step closer.

The distance between the two people suddenly shortened.

"Well, you're my girlfriend, after all," Yang Xian said with a touch of affection. "What's wrong with skipping a class for the person I like?"

Quiet.

The leaves of the tree next to the bench rustled in the wind.

Liu Ruyu was completely stunned.

She has heard all sorts of things in her life.

The teacher's criticism, the classmates' ridicule, the mother's lecturing...

No one had ever said such straightforward and cheesy sweet words to her.

"You...you..."

Liu Ruyu suddenly took a step back and pulled her hand out of Yang Xian's palm.

Two suspicious blushes appeared on her fair cheeks.

"It was...it was you who wanted to come out with me!"

Her voice was several octaves higher than before, filled with barely concealed panic: "If we're found out later, don't say I brought you out!"

"Don't worry!" Yang Xian held up two fingers:

"I only have two conditions."

"After you leave, first of all, you are not allowed to get angry."

"Second, you are not allowed to mention today's events to anyone."

"Alright, alright, it's nothing!" Liu Ruyu waved her hand, turned around and left, her steps quick and hurried.

------

A dozen minutes later...

"Yang Xian, come down quickly! There's no one around!"

At the base of the wall, Liu Ruyu looked around and then waved upwards.

Yang Xian climbed down from the wall and landed silently.

"You're really something, managing to find such a hidden weakness in the academy's security system."

He glanced at the four-meter-high alloy exterior wall behind him, then looked at a slightly lighter-colored metal plate in the corner.

It's important to know that Star Academy has one of the highest security levels in the entire Star City.

Even if a martial artist at the sixth realm were to force their way in, they might not be able to break through without triggering an alarm.

Now, this system has been bypassed by a student who failed a grade in the third realm using the most primitive method—removing the wall panels.

"That's right!"

Liu Ruyu raised her chin, seemingly wanting to make a good impression on her boyfriend.

"Don't let my repeating a grade fool you, I'm still a genius."

"It took me three whole months to grind out this gap, bit by bit."

"We only process a small section of the welding point at a time, avoiding the patrol robot's route and time window, and even the fluctuation frequency of the energy sensing array is calculated."

"I used to sneak out from here to go online all the time, and I've never been caught."

She recounted her "great achievements" at length.

After waiting for a long time, they still didn't hear Yang Xian's praise.

"Wait a minute? Where's Yang Xian?"

Liu Ruyu sensed something was wrong and suddenly turned around to look.

There was nothing behind him.

Where is Yang Xian now?

She looked around again; the whole road was quiet, with only a few fallen leaves being swept across the ground by the wind.

"OK!"

Liu Ruyu stood there, her chest heaving violently.

"You promised to come out with me! And then you stood me up?!"

But then I thought about it again, and it seems that Yang Xian didn't break his promise!
