If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

The Seventh Safe Zone, the outer city slums.

A black armored SUV with military license plates was parked at the end of the crowded and narrow street.

Lin Yuan got out of the car and waved to the officer in the driver's seat. The SUV quickly turned around and drove away from this dilapidated neighborhood that seemed so out of place in the bustling city center.

On both sides of the street are densely packed, old tenement buildings that resemble pigeon coops. The air is filled with the artificial flavoring of cheap synthetic foods and the sour smell of sewers.

This is where Lin Yuan and his sister, who is three years younger than him, have lived together for more than ten years, relying on each other for survival.

"call……"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath of the murky air filled with the everyday life of the city, and a rare touch of warmth appeared in his usually deep and cold eyes.

Before going home, he made a detour to the nearby underground black market.

Lin Yuan randomly picked out two of the worst-looking scraps of fourth-tier exotic beasts from that tattered backpack and tossed them directly to the black market boss.

Even scraps were instantly exchanged for a huge sum of two million Alliance Coins!

With money in his pocket, Lin Yuan was not stingy at all.

He turned and walked into the best martial arts supermarket in the civilian district, where he spent a lot of money to buy a full ten catties of top-grade hind leg meat from a second-tier "Crimson Flame Pig", plus two full boxes of the most expensive "Black Gold Qi and Blood Nutrient Solution" on the market.

Carrying large and small bags, Lin Yuan walked into the dilapidated tenement building where several streetlights were broken.

I climbed the dimly lit stairs to the sixth floor.

Lin Yuan took out his key and turned the rusty security door.

"Drink! Ha!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, a clear, melodious, yet somewhat stubborn, shout came from the small living room.

A girl with a high ponytail, wearing a faded old school uniform, is sweating profusely in front of a worn-out sandbag.

The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate and pretty features, bearing a resemblance to Lin Yuan. However, due to long-term malnutrition, her complexion appeared somewhat pale, and her body was rather thin.

She is Lin Yuan's only family member in this world, Lin Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, I'm back." Lin Yuan closed the door and called out softly.

boom!

The girl delivered her final punch with great force, turned her head, and her fair forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

When she saw who it was, her clear, bright eyes lit up instantly, shining like stars.

"Brother?! Why are you back early?"

Lin Xiaoya rushed over excitedly, but stopped halfway and looked Lin Yuan up and down with a suspicious expression.

"Isn't the special training camp supposed to be a two-week closed training session? You didn't come in last in the assessment and get kicked out by the instructors early, did you?"

Looking at his younger sister's mature demeanor, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

He stepped forward and, without any hesitation, flicked Lin Xiaoya's smooth forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Xiaoya covered her forehead, glaring at him angrily.

Stop making wild guesses.

Lin Yuan placed the large and small bags he was carrying on the slightly chipped wooden table and casually explained:

"An unexpected situation arose in the mutated forest, and for safety reasons, the military prematurely terminated the special training camp. Everyone was evacuated today."

"Something happened? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoya immediately became nervous. She quickly went over and circled Lin Yuan twice to make sure he didn't have a single scratch on his body before letting out a long sigh of relief.

immediately.

Her gaze fell on the pile of beautifully packaged bags on the wooden table.

"Brother, what... what is this?"

Xiaoya carefully opened a bag, and when she saw the piece of Crimson Flame Pork inside, which was radiating a rich aura of blood and energy, she was completely stunned.

She then hurriedly opened the box next to her.

"Black Gold Blood Nourishing Liquid?!"

Xiaoya gasped, her voice rising eight octaves, her eyes widening in shock.

"Brother! Are you crazy?!"

"This meat costs 20,000 yuan per kilogram! A box of this nutrient solution costs 100,000 Alliance Coins!"

"Where did you get so much money? Did you borrow from loan sharks on the black market? Go and cancel the loan! I'm still growing, the nutritional supplements the school gives me are enough. You haven't even saved enough for your martial arts university tuition yet!"

Xiaoya's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she grabbed the box, trying to run out.

In this impoverished family, she had long been accustomed to being frugal. Even if she coveted those high-level qi and blood replenishments, she would never be willing to spend a single penny. Her only wish was for her brother to successfully enter a martial arts university and make a name for himself.

Seeing her younger sister's anxious and distressed expression.

Lin Yuan felt as if a warm current had struck his heart.

He grabbed Xiaoya's wrist and pressed her down onto the worn-out sofa, his tone extremely serious.

"Why would I back down? Your brother has made something of himself."

Lin Yuan smiled and ruffled her hair.

"In this training exercise, not only did I not come in last place, but I also got incredibly lucky and topped the special training camp! This money is the military's bonus for first place!"

"real?!"

Xiaoya's face was full of disbelief, but looking at Lin Yuan's determined eyes, the anxiety in her eyes slowly turned into unprecedented joy and pride.

"My brother actually got first place! That's amazing!"

Xiaoya jumped up from the sofa with joy, grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, and smiled like a silly little girl who had received the most precious treasure in the world.

"Alright, go take a shower."

Lin Yuan patted her on the back, turned around, tied on his apron, and walked towards the narrow, cramped kitchen.

"Today, I'll personally cook for you so you can really taste the flavor of this second-tier beast meat."

After half an hour.

The rich aroma of meat filled the entire cramped rented room.

The brother and sister sat around the wooden table.

Lin Xiaoya picked up a piece of glistening, braised beast meat, put it in her mouth, and happily squinted her eyes. A surge of immense qi and blood energy spread within her body, instantly turning her cheeks rosy.

"Brother, why aren't you eating?" Xiaoya asked Lin Yuan, her cheeks puffed out.

"I've already eaten at the military base. You should eat more; you're so thin."

Lin Yuan rested his chin on his hand, quietly watching his younger sister devour her food.

For him, who had just absorbed 200,000 times the amount of liquid source energy, this second-tier Crimson Flame Pork was not even as good as plain water.

But at the moment.

Looking at my sister's satisfied smile.

Lin Yuan felt that this was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten since he acquired the Extreme Dao System.

Outside the window, there was the noisy shouting and cursing of the working-class neighborhood, and the neon-lit steel jungle.

Inside the house.

That dim, yellow incandescent light circled out a warm and serene haven.

Lin Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and a dark golden light, absolutely cold and violent, flashed deep within his pupils.

"I possess terrifying blood and qi from two hundred thousand times."

"I possess an ultimate battle body capable of slapping a Grandmaster to death."

"But in this house, I am just Lin Xiaoya's brother."

In his heart, Lin Yuan made a vow that was even more unbreakable than his battle body.

In this cold and chaotic world where martial artists roam freely and human life is as worthless as grass.

Who dares to touch his only pure land?

Who dares to touch a single hair on Lin Xiaoya's head?

Lin Yuan will definitely show them what it means to be a true Asura descending to earth, slaughtering gods and destroying Buddhas!
