High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

Just as Lin Shuxuan was about to climb to the top, the mature woman in his arms jolted away as if electrocuted.

"Was I too hasty...?" Lin Shuxuan was about to explain when a silvery-white streak appeared in his senses.

Before long, the beautiful woman with flowing silver hair landed on the rooftop holding a brown paper bag.

Ye Lingyue, completely oblivious to disturbing others, slightly opened her mouth:

"I wanted to thank you, so I picked out a small gift..."

You've come at the wrong time... Gratitude is a virtue, but the current situation is very unsatisfactory to time management master Lin Shuxuan!

"I suddenly remembered that the TV at home isn't powered on, so I'm going back now."

The wavy-haired mature woman's voice trembled as she turned and left with stiff steps.

Lin Shuxuan raised his hand to try to stop him, but only made two empty grabbing motions in mid-air.

He turned around and glared angrily at Ye Lingyue.

"?"

......

Inside the room, Lin Shuxuan and Ye Lingyue sat down across the table.

The silver-haired girl took out all sorts of cakes from a brown paper bag; their exquisite designs clearly came from a famous baker.

Lin Shuxuan stared at the cake for a long time before asking quietly:

"These are all your favorite foods, right?"

A flicker of panic crossed Ye Lingyue's face, but her large sunglasses concealed her embarrassment perfectly. She shook her head.

"no."

Lin Shuxuan pushed the cake in front of him.

The silver-haired girl's body language betrayed her, and she began to eat.

"I don't want your cake."

Lin Shuxuan spoke in a serious tone.

You have to give me a girlfriend.

Ye Lingyue dropped the fork on the table, her small mouth, still stained with cake, twitched slightly as she stumbled to her feet.

"I...I suddenly remembered that I haven't fed the piano at home yet, I have to go now."

Watching the girl leave the room, Lin Shuxuan calmly picked up his fork and scooped up the cake he had only taken a few bites of, chewing it up.

half an hour.

Ye Lingyue clung to the door frame, peeking out half of her head.

"I...don't know the way, can you lead me out?"

The layout of the police station is complex, and it's like a maze for someone who has no sense of direction.

However, the condition of being a girlfriend is indeed a bit strict, Lin Shuxuan thought about it.

"Then come with me to admire the moon."

......

Rooftop.

Lin Shuxuan sensed the unease in the girl in his arms and asked:

"Does moon-viewing have to be done in this posture?"

"Of course! That's how Yu Xin and I were admiring the moon just now, you should have seen it too."

"But there's no moon tonight."

Looking at the starry night sky, Lin Shuxuan was speechless for a moment. He stuffed the cake into Ye Lingyue's mouth before she calmed down a bit.

Unfortunately, his affinity with Ye Lingyue hasn't reached 100 yet.

Since we can't unlock special CGs, this is the limit for us right now—just embracing each other like this.

Yu Xin is easily embarrassed, and her inability to maintain her momentum tonight will likely cause her a lot of trouble in the future.

The ear twitched slightly, and footsteps approached from afar.

Before my mind could process it, my heart skipped a beat.

Turning his head, his gaze met that of Yu Xin, who had turned back and was holding a small box in her hand.

The wavy-haired, mature woman's face was contorted with malice as she glared at him fiercely.

Then she stomped away in her high heels.

Lin Shuxuan quickly got up to chase after him, but a wave of energy rose up behind him.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Ye Lingyue transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

"How could this be allowed to happen...?" Lin Shuxuan was so angry he was practically fuming.

......

Lin Shuxuan returned to Huihao Residential Complex.

The matter is now settled, and he is now the number one martial arts student in Xinhai City.

Given her status, it's unlikely that her aunt could interfere in anything anymore.

No... Lin Shuxuan silently despised himself. According to the eight-hour workday, he was now a powerful martial artist with sixty years of experience and profound foundation.

Aunt, you are the real challenger.

Lin Shuxuan decided to hold a family meeting that evening to determine the KPIs his aunt should achieve this year.

When I arrived at the apartment building, I found it completely surrounded by people.

Relying on his cultivation level, he squeezed in a few inches, and reporters holding microphones immediately surrounded him.

"What is the secret to your martial arts prowess at such a young age?"

"Having become the leader of the New Seven Seas, what would you like to say about this honor?"

"You haven't had a chance to say your acceptance speech yet."

"What is your relationship with that woman?"

The flashing lights kept making him slightly dizzy, and Lin Shuxuan couldn't help but marvel at the professional skills of Korean actresses in his previous life.

He pushed aside the seven or eight microphones being shoved into his mouth and took the microphone from a stubborn-looking young reporter in front of him.

Seeing the other person's almost fainting expression of happiness, he whispered:

"When the sun rises, forget yesterday."

Amidst the clicking of camera flashes, he turned and went upstairs.

The once rough cement stairwells were now covered with red carpets, and the motion-sensor lights had been reinstalled. Of course, given the current commotion, most of the motion-activated lights in the community were on.

Even the walls were repainted.

The property management reacted quickly... Lin Shuxuan found it somewhat amusing, but given his current level of public exposure, a smarter neighborhood could indeed reap the benefits.

Wait a minute, will this neighborhood raise its prices because of me...? He silently apologized in his heart.

Inside the room, my aunt was being interviewed.

"Ms. Li, hello. Lin Shuxuan's ability to pursue martial arts while being a liberal arts student must be inseparable from your guidance?"

Under the spotlight, my aunt wore light makeup and looked much younger.

"I knew from the beginning that Shuxuan was a martial arts genius..."

"cough!!"

Lin Shuxuan leaned against the door frame and coughed with a smile to remind his aunt.

She couldn't continue speaking, as expected.

The middle-aged man who was conducting the interview looked over at the sound and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I am the editor-in-chief of the Xinhai Daily. We are currently gathering material for your column, and interviewing your guardian is part of that. I wonder if what they say is credible?"

This man's ability to read people is truly exceptional... Lin Shuxuan glanced at his aunt with a playful expression.

Li Ping immediately felt a little scared. It wasn't until today that she truly saw through this adopted nephew, and she couldn't help but worry that her previous attitude might have been too harsh.

Then Lin Shuxuan's voice rang out:

"My aunt raised me for over ten years, so her word is law. Please continue."

The atmosphere in the room relaxed.

Chen Yi ran out and buried her little head in his arms.

Feeling the slight dampness on his shirt, Lin Shuxuan laughed and scolded:

"Did you secretly wipe your nose?"

Chen Yi secretly wiped away her tears and said angrily:

"No way!"

He ruffled his sister's hair and whispered:

"You've been wronged lately. If anyone bullies you, I'll stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and she took out a notebook from her pocket.

"I've written all their names down in this notebook."

"What is this, Kira Yagami and Death Note...?" Lin Shuxuan took it and flipped through a few pages.

"My students!!!!"

From the corner of the room, a wailing sound rang out, and a huge black shadow lunged forward.

Lin Shuxuan's hair stood on end, and he instinctively wanted to retaliate but managed to hold back, simply blocking the inexplicable old man in front of him.

"Who is this person?"

The uncle crossed his arms helplessly.

"The principal of Yinshan Middle School insisted on waiting for you to come back in his room, and he wouldn't leave no matter how hard you tried to get him to leave."

"What brings you here, Principal?"

While blocking the seemingly deranged old man, Lin Shuxuan tried his best to keep his tone calm.

Principal He calmed down slightly before rubbing his fists and saying:

"I've come to see some of our school's outstanding graduates."

I thought you came to mourn me... Lin Shuxuan was speechless.

"Then please go ahead."

Just then, Chen Yi whispered a few words in his ear.

Lin Shuxuan immediately understood the cause and effect. Indeed, he had seen the post from Yinshan Middle School distancing itself from him, but he was too busy to pay attention to it.

"Please leave, Principal. I never attended high school. All the past events are just a thing of the past."

Principal He wanted to play the victim, but when he saw Lin Shuxuan raise his fist, he immediately gave up.

He left with the words, "I will be back," and departed.

Chen Yi felt a little soft-hearted and shook Lin Shuxuan's hand.

"I think that old man is quite pitiful, maybe we should just forget about it?"

Lin Shuxuan didn't care. He had severed ties when he was down on his luck, and now he wanted to win him back with a few nice words? There was no such easy way.

"Principal He is an adult; let's wait for his next visit."

Anyone who can get to the position of principal must be a shrewd person; they'll have their bargaining chips ready for their next visit.

He doesn't need the resources of a private school principal, but they are still good for Chen Yi, who is about to enter high school.

As night fell, he chased away all the reporters who were interviewing him.

The room finally became quiet.

His aunt stood in front of him, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

She remains an absolute advocate for the humanities, but Lin Shuxuan's achievements are truly too dazzling. Having enjoyed news interviews and the admiring glances of her sisters, her aunt felt that her guidance was no longer valid.

"Shuxuan, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? Your aunt will make it for you."

Lin Shuxuan glanced at his aunt, whose expression was awkward, and laughed:

"Give me a plate of Grandma's stir-fried rice cakes."

My aunt, whose veins were bulging, obediently replied:

"it is good."

......

After finishing the rice cake, Lin Shuxuan returned to his room, sat on the creaking wooden chair, and opened the information sent by Guan Yunyang.

The paths are divided into fire, water, earth, wind, wood, and electricity.

The Dragon Fist Heart Sutra he cultivates belongs to the fire element, and the professions he can change to are [Pyromaniac] and [Ember Fist Master].

The two professions have different focuses; the former is like a magician, with flexible and varied methods.

The latter involves enchanting the fists to significantly enhance physical strength.

Martial artists who primarily practice Dragon Fist will generally choose the latter.

Qin Feng, with his four arms, seems to be an advanced variant of the [Ember Fist Master].

Besides the main paths, there are also some special paths, such as Ye Lingyue, which uses the moon as its symbol.

Without the bloodline of the Ye family, even if outsiders cultivate their techniques, they will not be able to embark on the path they follow.

I feel that Ye Lingyue's path is much stronger... Lin Shuxuan recalled the girl flying on the moonlight, and her performance was truly enviable.

Furthermore, embarking on the path requires accommodating the bodies of corresponding exotic beasts, which can trigger severe rejection reactions.

However, based on Guan Yunyang's judgment, with his current martial arts cultivation level, the side effects he can tolerate will be very small.

Lin Shuxuan thought for a moment and decided to ask the question that was on his mind.

[Besides these, are there any even stronger special paths?]

The martial arts cultivation brought by the opening ceremony made his foundation incredibly profound. Lin Shuxuan believed that with this, he could challenge some more difficult paths... if there were any.

My phone vibrated slightly; a message from Guan Yunyang had arrived.

Yes, theoretically, the shells of strange beasts from the "Deep Cave" could allow one to embark on a new path; however, all those who attempted it have died.

I do not recommend you choose this option.

I don't recommend you say it out loud... Lin Shuxuan really wanted to complain, but Guan Yunyang seemed to be waiting for him to ask this question.

Indeed, the anomaly caused by his "opening up" would definitely have been noticed by this federal major general, he just didn't say anything.

I'll choose [Ember Fist Master]... Lin Shuxuan decided to follow the crowd; being ordinary meant being safe.

Just as I finished editing the message and was about to send it, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, there was my uncle, a simple-looking man with a troubled expression.

"What's wrong, Uncle? I'm now the number one young talent in Xinhai. You should be happy."

The simple, honest man sighed: "The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."

"It's like a tree standing out from the crowd."

Lin Shuxuan retorted, and he received a blow to the shoulder; his uncle was a little angry.

"Isn't adding your surname bad luck? Hurry up and spit it out."

Do as instructed.

His uncle stared at him for a long time, then sighed softly:

"Time flies, you've grown so much in the blink of an eye. You were this tall when you first came here."

As he spoke, he gestured towards the bedside table.

Lin Shuxuan chuckled; he was also somewhat moved.

Do you remember your father?

The topic came up a bit abruptly, and after thinking for a moment, Lin Shuxuan admitted, "I can't remember."

He awakened his past life memories when he was fifteen years old; he had almost forgotten his childhood memories from when he was four or five.

The uncle nodded and took out a black bracelet from his pocket, as clear as crystal.

"This is something your father left behind. He entrusted it to me to give to you when you turn eighteen."

Lin Shuxuan took the bracelet and examined it, his gaze freezing.

This is a smart bracelet issued at the forward base. Every soldier on the front line must wear it. His father sacrificed his life while fighting against the alien beasts.

How could he have given this to his uncle in advance?

"Is my dad really dead?"

The uncle nodded, quite certain: "The city government released his portrait."

"Perhaps he foresaw that he wouldn't come back, so he left you this gift."

The man thought for a moment and then added:

"He is a very good person."

"A really good person let their child live under someone else's roof for over ten years? If you have any sense of responsibility, you should come back, you bastard..." A trace of resentment flashed through Lin Shuxuan's mind.

His uncle patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Lin Shuxuan put the bracelet on his wrist. The smart brain functions similarly to a mobile phone, allowing communication and leaving messages. Most importantly, it stores merit points.

"Am I a hidden rich kid...?" Lin Shuxuan had this thought in his mind. Of course, it could also be a tearful and touching confession.

Son, I'm sorry, and so on.

But none of this happened.

A mechanical female voice echoed in my mind.

[Dragon Fist Heart Sutra detected; technique optimization initiated.]

A surge of heat flowed from my wrist.

The Dragon Fist Heart Sutra operates automatically, but the energy flow path is quite different from before.

Lin Shuxuan was greatly alarmed. The cultivation method was the optimal solution that had evolved over thousands of years in the Federation. If one made a wrong move, it might destroy one's meridians, a condition commonly known as "going into a demonic state."

And this damn smart bracelet is actually interfering with his cultivation technique!

Just as Lin Shuxuan was about to tear the bracelet apart, a loud bang appeared in his mind.

Life energy levels surged and rose like a floodgate being opened.

If the gears represent the grade, then the axle is currently generating sparks from intense friction.

30, 31, 32.....44.

The bottleneck that was originally only resolved by embarking on the path was easily broken through.

The overwhelming power instantly reached every part of his body.

He raised his hand and gently clenched it, and a sonic boom suddenly exploded in his palm, shattering the window in front of him into dust.

If Mu Ning, clad in armor, were to reappear before him, he was confident he could shatter him within fifteen rounds.

What exactly did my cheapskate father leave behind...? I hadn't even had time to ponder the question deeply.

The Hextech option suddenly appeared before me.

He has already broken through the level.
