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

the next day.

Gaowu No.1 Middle School has resumed classes.

But the atmosphere in the whole school was completely different from yesterday.

In the center of the playground, the Dragon Gate Trial Tower has been dismantled.

All that remained was a large expanse of scorched earth.

On the ground, there are still silver-white patterns left by the source energy and dark blue scorch marks left by the forced crushing of the Black Gate pollution.

The military blockade has not yet been lifted.

Several military personnel stood guard at the edge of the playground, preventing students from approaching.

The students passing by all subconsciously slowed their pace.

No one dared to discuss yesterday's events as if they were still a hot topic, as they used to.

Because what happened yesterday is no longer a lively event.

Longmen retrial.

Five hundred times the source energy pressure.

Black Gate Intrusion.

The blood-stained elder openly suppressed civilian areas.

Lin Yuan secured an S-level guaranteed admission qualification.

One thing after another has been weighing on everyone, leaving them breathless.

……

Class 7, Grade 12.

The classroom, which was usually noisy, was eerily quiet today.

Until familiar footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Almost everyone looked up at the same time.

Lin Yuan walked into the classroom.

It was still that old, faded school uniform.

His expression remained calm, almost indifferent.

He is still at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

But as soon as he walked in, several students near the aisle almost instinctively pulled their legs back.

Someone dropped their pen on the ground.

With a snap.

The man's face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick it up, not daring to even lift his head.

Lin Yuan didn't look at anyone.

I walked straight to a seat by the window and sat down.

The classroom remained quiet.

Zhao Hai sat beside him, watching this scene, his shoulders trembling with suppressed emotion.

Cool.

So cool.

In the past, these people were all sarcastic and said that Lin Yuan was a waste, that he was not worthy of participating in the assessment, and that he relied on luck.

What now?

They didn't even dare to cough loudly.

Zhao Hai lowered his voice and said:

"Brother Yuan, look at them."

"Weren't you quite talkative before?"

"Why are they all mute now?"

Lin Yuan placed the book on the table and said calmly:

"It's good that there are fewer people arguing."

The sound wasn't loud.

But the classroom was too quiet.

Many people heard it.

For an instant.

Many students felt a chill run down their spines.

Because they suddenly remembered Xiao Chen.

I recalled the scene yesterday where Han Zhaoye knelt in public under the pressure of three hundred times the source energy.

Sometimes, Lin Yuan's words really aren't harsh.

But every sentence seemed to be a reminder to them.

There are definitely fewer people arguing now.

Because some people are no longer capable of arguing.

Zhao Hai couldn't help but grin.

"Too."

"It's much quieter now."

When the homeroom teacher entered the classroom, she could also clearly sense this oppressive atmosphere.

His gaze fell on Lin Yuan and lingered for a moment.

This student used to be his most troublesome and helpless subject.

Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.

He was almost destined to be forever barred from martial arts.

But now, who in the entire Seventh Security Zone dares to say that Lin Yuan is ordinary?

The Longyuan Academy personally reviewed and approved it.

The Central Sky Patrol Division supervised the entire process.

The Seventh Army provides the highest level of protection.

more importantly.

Behind him stood the senior from the Blood Sect.

The humanoid forbidden zone that suppressed the crack in the Black Gate with a single punch.

The homeroom teacher took a deep breath and began the lesson.

When Lin Yuan's name was called, his tone unconsciously softened a bit.

"Lin Yuan".

Lin Yuan looked up.

"arrive."

The homeroom teacher nodded.

He didn't say much.

But the whole class could tell.

That tone was completely different from before.

……

afternoon.

The area outside the training ground of Gaowu No.1 Middle School.

Han Zhaoye stood in the shadows, his face grim.

He has not yet left the Seventh Security Zone.

After the Dragon Gate retrial, he had to wait for the Dragon Abyss Academy's arrangements to return to Dragon Abyss City to report back.

Yesterday's kneeling incident almost crushed all his pride into the mud.

Early stage of Xuanhai realm.

A genius from the outer academy of Longyuan Academy.

He knelt down under the immense pressure of three hundred times the source energy.

He even admitted that he had been saved by Lin Yuan once.

If this gets back to Longyuan Academy, he will definitely become a laughing stock.

Han Zhaoye stared intently at the classroom where Lin Yuan was in the distance.

His fist clenched tighter and tighter.

But he dared not move.

Even though murderous intent surged within him, he dared not move.

Because the senior blood-stained one really does take action.

Xiao Chen is the best example.

He didn't want to be the second one.

In the classroom.

Zhao Hai noticed Han Zhaoye standing in the distance and immediately approached.

"Brother Yuan."

"That guy surnamed Han is still watching you."

Lin Yuan flipped through the book without even lifting his eyelids.

"He wouldn't dare."

Zhao Hai was taken aback, then burst out laughing.

"Too."

"If he really dared, he wouldn't have knelt down yesterday."

outside the window.

Han Zhaoye seemed not to hear those words.

But as if he sensed something, his expression turned even more grim.

Lin Yuan is right.

He dare not.

……

After school in the afternoon.

Su Qinghan has arrived.

She didn't bring many people with her and appeared alone outside the teaching building.

Nowadays, Su Qinghan is seen as an unapproachable figure by the students of Gaowu No. 1 High School.

The eldest daughter of the Su family.

Granddaughter of Su Zhan, commander of the Seventh Army.

The people who rushed to protect Lin Xiaoya immediately during yesterday's Black Gate incident in the civilian district.

Many students instinctively made way for her when they saw her.

Su Qinghan didn't look at anyone else.

She walked straight up to Lin Yuan.

"The transfer order has been issued."

Lin Yuan looked up.

"When?"

"Ten days later."

Su Qinghan said:

"The Dragon Abyss Academy's escort ship will arrive at the Seventh Safe Zone in ten days."

"The list of people to be recruited has been finalized."

"You and Lin Xiaoya will travel directly to Longyuan City on the ship."

She paused, then said:

"Luo Xingshuang will accompany you."

"I will go with you."

"Gu Changye will also go to Longyuan City to report back."

"Apart from that, only necessary escort and reception personnel will be on board, and no other students will be arranged to travel on board."

Lin Yuan nodded.

This arrangement is actually quite reasonable.

Su Qinghan continued:

"My grandfather's idea is that you and Xiaoya should try not to leave the military's protected area for the next ten days."

"The Black Gate has confirmed that Xiaoya is a member of the Cleansing Gate."

"They won't give up easily."

"Especially before you leave the Seventh Security Zone."

Lin Yuan did not answer immediately.

He simply asked:

"Are there enough ships available for guidance?"

Su Qinghan was stunned.

She thought Lin Yuan would ask about the strength of the guards.

They will ask about flight safety.

They will ask about the arrangements in Longyuan City.

But she never expected that Lin Yuan's first question would be this.

"a lot of."

Su Qinghan hesitated and said:

"The central receiving ship of Longyuan Academy is equipped with a high-level source energy core."

"Shields, navigation, and space stabilization systems all require a large amount of energy to support them."

"It is stronger than the source energy core of the Lungmen Trial Tower, but its structure is more enclosed."

After listening, Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then wait ten days."

Su Qinghan couldn't understand it at all.

"Wait ten days?"

"Um."

Lin Yuan offered no explanation.

Su Qinghan looked at him and suddenly remembered the Dragon Gate Tower, which had lost 97% of its source energy.

A strange sense of absurdity welled up inside me.

No way?

impossible.

Lin Yuan was only at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

The energy loss of that tower was likely caused by the conflict between the Blood Elder's protective seal and the Black Gate's pollution.

But I don't know why.

Looking at Lin Yuan's calm expression, she felt that something was amiss.

Su Qinghan suppressed her thoughts and said:

"In short, I will arrange for people to keep watch around Lin Xiaoya for the next ten days."

"Just guard the perimeter, don't get close to her."

"I won't bother you."

Lin Yuan glanced at her.

"Can."

Su Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that this was the maximum Lin Yuan could accept.

If you get any closer, you'll cross the line.

No one dared to mess with Lin Yuan's lines.

……

the other side.

Temporary outpost of the Sky Patrol Division.

Gu Changye sat at the table.

There were three reports on the table.

The first document is the result of the Longmen retrial.

The second document is a record of the Black Gate Crack Incident in the civilian district.

The third document is an abnormal risk assessment of Lin Xiaoya.

He translated very slowly.

They watched it very carefully.

The adjutant stood beside him and whispered:

"Sir, the central government has confirmed the transfer arrangements."

"Ten days later, Lin Yuan and Lin Xiaoya will travel to Longyuan City on the Longyuan Academy's ferry."

"The only necessary personnel are the guards, Luo Xingshuang, Su Qinghan, and ourselves."

Gu Changye nodded.

"very good."

The adjutant hesitated and said:

"very good?"

"The Black Gate has its sights set on Lin Xiaoya."

"Once the list of those to be recruited is made public, they will likely take action within the next ten days."

Gu Changye gently closed the report.

"They will definitely take action."

The adjutant's expression changed slightly.

Gu Changye picked up a pen and wrote a line of text below Lin Yuan's name.

The possibility that Lin Yuan shares the same identity as the senior blood elder has decreased.

A brief pause.

He added another sentence.

However, the following cannot be ruled out: clones, substitutes, remote projections, and ancient body cultivation techniques.

The adjutant frowned.

"My lord, the incident in the civilian district has proven that Lin Yuan and Senior Bloodthirsty can coexist."

"You still have doubts?"

Gu Changye looked up and smiled gently.

"The more perfect the evidence, the more it seems like someone wants me to believe it."

The adjutant remained silent.

Gu Changye moved the pen tip next to Lin Xiaoya's name.

There were a few words written there.

Suspected of being a member of the Pure Gate sect.

He looked at it for a long time and then slowly said:

"Continuing to investigate Lin Yuan will be very difficult."

"Senior Blood and Lin Yuan have already appeared together."

Logically, the most reasonable explanation is indeed that they were master and apprentice.

"But Lin Xiaoya is different."

The adjutant whispered:

"The Black Gate is looking for her."

Gu Changye nodded.

"right."

"The Black Gate will be even more anxious than we are."

"Because once she enters Longyuan City, it will be much more difficult to make a move."

The adjutant felt a vague unease.

"My lord, you mean...?"

Gu Changye did not answer.

He simply looked out the window.

Outside the window, the sky was gradually darkening.

Sparse lights have already appeared in the direction of the civilian area.

Gu Changye said softly:

"Ten days."

"The Black Gate can't wait ten days."

……

night.

Old, dilapidated tenement buildings.

When Lin Yuan returned home, Lin Xiaoya was tidying up her schoolbag at the table.

The backpack is old.

The edges and corners were worn white.

Inside, there were several calligraphy practice books, two pens, and the new nutritional supplement that Lin Yuan had bought for her.

Hearing the door open, she immediately looked up.

"elder brother!"

Lin Yuan walked into the house and placed the exotic beast meat in his hand on the table.

"Are you packing up?"

Lin Xiaoya nodded.

"Sister Su said that we are going to Longyuan City in ten days."

"Brother, is Longyuan City very far away?"

"Um."

"Is it big?"

"should."

Are all the people there very capable?

"should."

Lin Xiaoya lowered her head, her fingers gripping the strap of her schoolbag.

"Will I embarrass you?"

Lin Yuan paused.

He looked at her.

Lin Xiaoya's voice was very soft.

"I can't do anything."

"He didn't practice martial arts either."

"And I always have strange dreams."

"If other people knew I was your sister, wouldn't they think you...?"

"Won't."

Lin Yuan interrupted her.

Lin Xiaoya looked up.

Lin Yuan placed the nutrient solution in front of her, speaking calmly.

"You don't need to make me look good."

Lin Xiaoya was stunned.

Lin Yuan continued:

"Who would dare think you're a disgrace?"

"I'll make him lose face."

Lin Xiaoya stared at him blankly.

A moment later, her eyes suddenly turned a little red.

"elder brother……"

Lin Yuan reached out and ruffled her hair.

Don't overthink it.

Pack whatever you want to take.

"I'll handle the rest."

Lin Xiaoya nodded vigorously.

"Um!"

Lin Yuan turned and walked to the door.

A light flick of the fingertip.

A faint, dark gold blood mark silently settled into the door frame.

Then came the second course.

The third way.

These marks usually show no fluctuations.

Ordinary martial artists cannot detect it.

The outer guards sent by Su Qinghan were unaware of it.

But as soon as any Black Gate aura approaches Lin Xiaoya, Lin Yuan will know immediately.

After doing all this, Lin Yuan walked to the window.

The night outside the window was very dark.

The civilian district was quiet.

But in the more distant wilderness, a faint resonance of the Black Gate is slowly approaching.

A system notification appears.

[Resonance detected from a very distant black gate]

[Resonance Direction: Wilderness outside the Seventh Safe Zone]

Lin Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at the prompt.

"Ten days?"

He said in a low voice.

"You can't wait that long."

outside the window.

A night breeze blew by.

The entire civilian district appeared peaceful.

But deep within the darkness, it seemed as if a door was quietly opening.
