The entire training ground was almost entirely stunned, except for Shen Tieshan, a few instructors, and Lan Ruobing.

Breaking through to the Martial Master level isn't something that can be done overnight. Su Nianhe's display of Martial Master cultivation at this moment only proves that she had already broken through to this level long ago, but had just never revealed it.

"You're a martial arts master, no wonder you dare to challenge me."

Ling Han's eyes also turned serious.

If Su Nianhe were a peak martial arts disciple, he could naturally look down on her, but things are different now!

Su Nianhe's footwork was ethereal, and her figure moved as lightly as a willow catkin, narrowly avoiding the sword's edge.

Immediately, the longsword in her hand trembled slightly, creating a sword flower. The move was graceful and agile, yet it concealed a deadly intent.

"It's the Su family's Thirteen Flowing Cloud Swords!"

Someone recognized the swordsmanship and exclaimed in surprise.

Su Nianhe's movements were incredibly fast, like a wisp of smoke swirling around the arena. No matter how sharp Ling Han's sword moves were, they were always just a hair's breadth away from touching the hem of her clothes.

But her counterattacks were cunning and ruthless, always striking from unexpected angles, forcing Ling Han to defend.

After exchanging only a few dozen moves, Ling Han gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

His swordsmanship was more powerful than agile. Faced with Su Nianhe's extremely graceful movements and dense sword techniques, he felt restricted at every turn, and his strength had nowhere to be used.

"How is this possible? Ling Han was actually suppressed?"

"Su Nianhe's movement technique is terrifying! Who among those of the same level can catch up to her at that speed?"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, and everyone was stunned.

No one expected that Su Nianhe not only suppressed her cultivation level, but also possessed such heaven-defying combat power.

This is a battle against a much stronger opponent!

After another ten or so moves, Su Nianhe seized an opening, her body suddenly accelerating, and she approached Ling Han's side like a streak of light.

With a light flick of his longsword, he precisely deflected the opponent's sword, then with a turn of the blade, the cold tip of the sword was pressed against Ling Han's throat.

You lost.

Su Nianhe spoke calmly, sheathing her sword and standing still.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, her figure was outstanding, and her cool and aloof eyes carried a hint of sharpness, like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath.

The entire room fell silent.

Shen Tieshan paused for a few seconds before speaking in a deep voice: "Su Nianhe wins this battle. Effective immediately, Su Nianhe is promoted to Class S, and Ling Han is demoted to Class A1."

The audience erupted in cheers.

"A first-level Martial Master defeating a second-level Martial Master! That's outrageous!"

"She's been hiding it way too well! Why would she suppress her cultivation level upon entering university?"

In the S-class queue, many people's expressions changed.

They initially thought Su Nianhe was overestimating herself by challenging Ling Han, but now it seems she truly has the ability.

Chen Xuan stood at the front, his gaze falling on Su Nianhe. He nodded slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Beside him, Zhao Beichuan, the leader of the Thirty-Two Heroes of Kyushu, frowned and whispered, "Her Flowing Cloud Thirteen Swords technique has probably reached the tenth level."

Lan Ruobing smiled and stepped forward, extending her hand to Su Nianhe as she stepped off the stage, her eyes filled with joy.

"After hiding it for so long, you've finally decided to show your skills. Welcome to Class S!"

Su Nianhe took her hand and smiled faintly.

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Yun not far away and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, secretly winked at him.

Lin Yun looked at her and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that Su Nianhe had been suppressing her cultivation all along, perhaps even back in Qingcheng.

She was afraid that the gap between them was too big, which would create a distance between them.

Now that he has advanced to the A-level sequence and is among the top 100 freshmen, she no longer needs to deliberately hide it.

A fighting spirit quietly ignited in Lin Yun's heart.

Su Nianhe has already reached the level of Class S, so how can he fall too far behind?

He will make it into Class S in the next monthly exam, no matter what.

Therefore, making money needs to be put on the agenda.

Although the guide's business is stable, its growth is limited. It can support the dissipation of energy six times, but it is far from enough to complete the final ultimate foundation building.

Tomorrow is the weekend, so it's a good time to go out and find some new ways to go.

……

The next day, Saturday.

The morning in the capital was a bit noisy. Lin Yun waited for Su Nianhe at the school gate.

She wasn't wearing her training uniform today; instead, she wore a simple white dress with her long hair down, looking less sharp and more gentle than a martial artist.

The two walked side by side out of the school. This was the first time Lin Yun had had free time to go out and stroll around since enrolling.

The streets are bustling with traffic, high-rise buildings stand tall, shops line the streets one after another, and pedestrians come and go in droves, exuding the atmosphere of a bustling metropolis.

On the tall GG screen, reports of the beast plagues that were happening in various parts of the Dragon Kingdom were constantly being broadcast.

Near Diwu, there is a dedicated martial arts commercial street that sells various weapons, elixirs, and martial arts manuals, specifically to serve the students of the university town.

The two strolled slowly along the street, and when they passed a grandly decorated Tianwen War Soldiers specialty store, Su Nianhe stopped.

"You're still using a standard-issue combat knife, aren't you?"

She turned to look at Lin Yun.

"Why don't you go in and see if there are any styles you like? You can buy them later when you have more money..."

Lin Yun nodded and followed her inside.

He knew Tianwen Group fairly well.

The two major military technology giants in China are Tianwen Group and Black Star Group.

Black Star Group focuses on refining materials from exotic beasts, following the traditional martial arts path.

Tianwen Group specializes in technological synthesis, combining alloy technology with various chemical materials to produce lightweight and cost-effective products.

The combat stimulants he redeemed in the system, as well as the Swift Boots awarded by the city defense army, were all products of Tianwen.

In comparison, he was more familiar with Tianwen Group's products, and naturally preferred them.

As soon as I entered the store, I heard arguing coming from the counter.

An ordinary-looking girl with red eyes was arguing with a young man behind the counter.

On the table lay a longsword broken in two, its broken edges jagged, clearly indicating that it had snapped under immense force.

The girl's name was Chen Yao, and she seemed to be a freshman at a nearby martial arts academy.

Her tone was tinged with grievance and anger.

"I rented this top-tier Tier 1 battle sword from you a month ago. You said the quality was absolutely fine."

"Yesterday, when I was hunting a late-stage Tier 1 beast, my sword broke! If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would be dead! You have to give me an explanation!"

The young man behind the counter is named Liu Zihao; he is the son of the shop owner.

He leaned casually against the counter, a disdainful smile on his face.

"Explanation? What explanation?" Liu Zihao sneered. "The lease agreement clearly states that the lessee is fully responsible for any damage to the weapon. You broke the sword due to your own improper use, and now you're asking me for an explanation? Let me tell you, not only will the rent not be refunded, but you'll also have to pay three times the penalty for breach of contract, a total of 1.8 million."

"One million eight hundred thousand?"

Chen Yao's face turned pale.

"You're extorting me! This sword was defective; otherwise, it wouldn't have broken so easily!"

"Defective product? Do you have proof?"

Liu Zihao looked disdainful.

"We signed a contract in black and white. You can renege on it if you want. Either you pay me back, or... you become my sparring partner for three months, and this debt will be wiped clean."

As he spoke, his gaze roamed over Chen Yao with unbridled lewdness, a malicious smile on his face.

Chen Yao was so angry that she trembled all over, and only then did she realize that she had been set up.

The other party had ill intentions from the beginning. They rented her substandard weapons, just waiting for her to break them so they could extort money from her. They not only wanted money, but also wanted to take advantage of her body.

The terms in the lease agreement were all biased towards the other party, and she couldn't explain herself no matter what she said.

Su Nianhe frowned and stepped forward, her gaze falling on the broken sword.

"Can I take a look?"
