Lin Yun didn't know how long he had slept, but he finally woke up after a good night's sleep.

He stretched out a long, yawning stretch, his bones cracking softly. The fatigue from days of intense training and martial arts exams vanished without a trace after this deep, restful sleep.

The Qi and blood in his body flowed smoothly, and after being tempered by actual combat tests, they seemed to be even more refined than before.

Lin Yun casually picked up the phone from the bedside table, and the moment the screen lit up, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He actually slept for a day and two nights.

More than a hundred missed calls, more than five hundred unread text messages, and WeChat was flooded with friend requests and group messages.

He casually scrolled through a few text messages, all of which were similar, full of polite congratulations on his admission to the top martial arts academy in the capital.

Among the senders were teachers who usually mocked him, classmates he had hardly ever spoken to, and even a few alumni he had no connection with.

A faint sneer curled at the corner of Lin Yun's lips.

Before the martial arts exam, there were only two people in the entire Qingcheng No. 1 Higher School who truly considered him a friend.

One is Su Nianhe, and the other is Zhang Tie, her best friend who grew up with her. However, Zhang Tie's whole family moved to Jiangcheng half a year ago, and the two have had much less contact.

But now, overnight, he seems to have become everyone's old friend.

Nothing in this world is more fickle than this.

Too lazy to reply to each message, he skipped the polite ones and opened the text message from Zhang Tie first.

It consisted of only a few simple sentences, delivered in a uniquely teasing tone.

"Son, your dad passed the exam for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy! Remember to come to Jiangcheng and seek refuge with me. I'll provide food, lodging, and all the necessary services. I'll take you on a wild ride and make you rich!"

Lin Yun smiled and shook his head, quickly typing a reply: "Your father did well on the exam too, he got into the top martial arts academy in the capital."

"Come on, Dad is serious. It's a pity I have to do special training this summer and don't have time to come back to Qingcheng to see you. Don't blame your dad, okay?"

"Being busy is good."

That's how it is between brothers. We might not contact each other for months, but when something big happens, we're always the first to let each other know.

After exiting the chat window with Zhang Tie, Lin Yun immediately saw Su Nianhe's message.

"Lin Yun, contact me after you've had a good night's sleep."

Lin Yun dialed her number.

Ten seconds after the phone rang, Su Nianhe's clear voice, tinged with a hint of excitement, came through.

"Lin Yun! You're finally awake! I thought you were going to sleep for three days and three nights. Did you sleep well?"

"I haven't slept this soundly in ages." Lin Yun leaned against the headboard, his voice still languid from just waking up. "Nianhe, shall we meet up on Martial Arts Street?"

"Okay!" Su Nianhe immediately agreed, "I happen to be training at a martial arts gym around here."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yun felt a pang of emotion.

Two days after the martial arts exam ended, while most people were still enjoying the relaxation and celebration, Su Nianhe had already thrown herself into new training.

It's no wonder she became the top talent in Qingcheng; her diligence and self-discipline are truly unmatched by ordinary people.

However, he had rested enough and began the next stage of training.

He quickly washed up, changed into clean casual clothes, and left with his phone and bank card in his pocket.

The June sun shines brightly in Qingcheng, and the streets are bustling with high school seniors in their uniforms, discussing their martial arts exam results and future martial arts academies in twos and threes.

This time, Lin Yun walked among the crowd and finally didn't feel out of place like before.

Before long, Lin Yun arrived at the entrance of the martial arts school. An old man with gray hair was standing at the entrance, wearing a retro Tang suit and holding a broom, slowly sweeping the fallen leaves at the entrance.

He looked like an ordinary old gatekeeper, but Lin Yun subconsciously glanced at him a few more times.

The old man's body showed no fluctuations of qi or blood, yet there was an indescribable rhythm about him.

Especially those eyes, which, though cloudy, held a subtle sharpness that seemed to see right through people's hearts.

He is definitely a hidden master.

Seeing Lin Yun approach, the old man stopped sweeping and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"You must be Lin Yun, young friend?"

Lin Yun was somewhat surprised and quickly nodded, "It's me, sir. Hello."

"My young lady already gave the instructions, you can just go in directly." The old man smiled and stepped aside to make way.

"Thank you, sir," Lin Yun said politely, and stepped into the martial arts hall.

The martial arts gym is spacious, with thick solid wood floors and various training equipment neatly arranged along the walls.

Lin Yun spotted Su Nianhe at a glance.

She changed into a neat white training uniform, her long black hair tied up in a high ponytail, and held a gleaming longsword in her hand.

At this moment, she was concentrating and calming herself. As she turned her wrist, the longsword seemed to come alive in her hand, its light flashing like a swimming dragon.

Her movements were light and agile, sometimes like a fleeting shadow, sometimes like a towering pine tree. Every move was precise and graceful, carrying a sharp sword intent.

Lin Yun stood quietly to the side, without making a sound to disturb them.

Under the sunlight, the girl, dressed in white, had a graceful figure that could make any young man's heart race.

Lin Yun was no exception.

After completing a set of sword techniques, Su Nianhe sheathed her sword and stood up, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead and her chest rising and falling slightly.

She turned around and met Lin Yun's gaze, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"

"I haven't been here long, and seeing how seriously you were practicing, I didn't want to disturb you." Lin Yun clapped his hands with a smile. "I really didn't expect that you were not only good at leg techniques, but also at swordsmanship."

"It's just casual practice."

Su Nianhe smiled sheepishly, walked over quickly, and naturally took the energy drink Lin Yun handed her, twisted it open, and took a big gulp.

She wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, looked up at Lin Yun, her eyes sparkling.

"Why did you arrange to meet at the martial arts gym? I thought you were going to ask me to go to the park or the movie theater."

Lin Yun scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "To save you the trouble of changing clothes."

"Pfft!" Su Nianhe couldn't help but laugh, rolling her eyes at him. "You really are as clueless as ever. Let's get down to business."

Lin Yun's smile faded, and his expression became more serious: "I'd like to train with you for a while."

"Great! I was just worried about not having a sparring partner!" Su Nianhe agreed without hesitation, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "I'll have Uncle Fu make an extra key later."

"Come on! I'll show you around this place!"

Lin Yun followed Su Nianhe through the training area, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.

When he came to move the equipment last time, he didn't even bother to examine it closely.

Now, after Su Nianhe explained everything to him, he finally understood what true financial power really meant.

"This is the military's latest Type 99 Qi and Blood Detector, which is ten times more accurate than the one we use at school. It can monitor the subtle fluctuations in Qi and Blood circulation in real time, allowing you to accurately find weaknesses in your power when practicing martial arts." Su Nianhe patted a silver-gray instrument. "Next to it is the Titan-4 gravity chamber, which can be adjusted to a maximum of one hundred times the gravity. Whether you're training strength or agility, the effect is more than three times better than in a normal environment."

She walked to another sealed cabin, where a faint blue light shone through the glass door.

"This is the Dragon Roar No. 9 Virtual Beast Combat Pod, which is much more advanced than the virtual combat pod used in martial arts exams. It can simulate thousands of first and second-tier beasts and can also recreate dangerous environments such as urban disaster areas and primeval forests. It can even simulate the roars of beasts and the smell of blood. Except that no one will die, it is almost the same as real training."

"And there's the X-shaped Qi and Blood Cultivation Chamber over there. One soak is equivalent to three days of meditation and cultivation, helping you quickly condense your Qi and Blood; that hibernation chamber is even more amazing. The nerve-soothing spray inside can put you into a deep sleep in three seconds, and you can recover your energy for the whole day in four hours."

Su Nianhe spoke casually, but Lin Yun's heart pounded wildly.

He roughly calculated that the total value of the equipment in the martial arts school exceeded 200 million Chinese Yuan.

He used to think that Su Nianhe was just a rich heiress from a wealthy family, but now he realized that the Su family's background was far more than that.
