Chapter 100

"Get up at four o'clock every day to cultivate? Without resting?" Big Brother Lin was puzzled for a moment: "Even a Source Martial Artist can't do that."

"Work and rest must be combined to last long."

"Unless one reaches the level of a Flying Martial Artist, feeling heaven and man, spirit merging with nature, and being able to nourish the spirit and body at any time, otherwise, who can be so desperate." Big Brother Lin said seriously: "Even Senior Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji only says he cultivates for sixteen hours a day."

Lin Lanyue didn't speak.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the scene Gu Gu Gu Qianghan described to her after returning from Jiangbei Martial Arts University: "Sister, that Li Li Li Yuan is simply a madman, a self-torture demon. He cultivates every night when he goes back, and gets up at four or five in the morning... I really admire him. If he doesn't succeed, who will?"

Gu Gu Gu Qianghan's sworn words.

Gave Lin Lanyue a deeper understanding of Li Li Li Yuan back then.

This is a person who is extremely self-disciplined, has firm goals, and can always struggle toward them.

"Brother, what is it exactly?" Lin Lanyue asked again.

"It's about Li Li Li Yuan." Big Brother Lin smiled: "Do you want to know?"

"Brother, if you want to say it, say it; if not, don't delay my cultivation." Lin Lanyue glanced at him.

She knew the difference between her big brother and second brother; her big brother would feel stifled if he had gossip and didn't say it.

"Fine, fine, fine, I give up on you." Big Brother Lin was helpless and raised his hand; some data and intelligence appeared on the light screen.

It was all about Li Li Li Yuan.

"Top in both subjects? Top in raw martial arts scores in Jiangcheng City?" Lin Lanyue muttered to herself.

Double perfect scores! This is a very terrifying result.

"Little sister, you don't seem that surprised." Big Brother Lin smiled: "Did you know in advance? Or have you been in contact with Li Li Li Yuan?"

"No, I didn't know." Lin Lanyue smiled: "It is indeed incredible that he could achieve such results, but thinking about his efforts, it's not strange."

"He is indeed diligent in his cultivation." Big Brother Lin nodded: "Besides the April mock exam results, I just received news that he should have passed 300 points in Meteor."

"Fourth Stage middle-stage skill?" Lin Lanyue finally showed a trace of surprise.

She knew very well that Li Li Li Yuan's skill only crossed into the Fourth Stage a month ago.

Improving so fast?

One must know that because of cultivating the "Nirvana Divine Canon," she was able to come to Flying Star early to receive special training, and her progress in both physical fitness and skill was faster.

But now, her skill is still slightly short of Third Stage perfection.

"Fate often favors those who work harder." Lin Lanyue smiled slightly.

"Little sister, do you really like him?" Big Brother Lin suddenly asked.

"Like?"

Facing her big brother's inquiry, Lin Lanyue didn't show any embarrassment and pondered for a while before saying: "Perhaps, it's more that I find him admirable."

"Fine, you've always had your own opinions; as long as you know what you're doing." Big Brother Lin smiled.

He was an experienced person; looking at Lin Lanyue's appearance, how could he not understand?

But he didn't care.

Young people yearning for love is the way it has been since ancient times; suppressing it is not as good as guiding it.

"Brother, don't tell Father and Mother about this." Lin Lanyue suddenly glared at her brother.

"Haha, why would I tell them?" Big Brother Lin laughed: "You're not a child anymore; as long as you're happy."

Big Brother Lin was very open-minded, although if the family knew, they would definitely have opinions.

But who was he?

He was Lin Lanyue's big brother!

In his eyes, as long as his sister isn't wronged, she can do whatever she wants.

If the sky falls, there are still the two of them as brothers to hold it up; besides, he also felt that Li Li Li Yuan was not bad.

"However, little sister, I still have to remind you."

"You have good intentions, but do you know Li Li Li Yuan's thoughts? You've done quite a lot for him; just saving his uncle is..." Big Brother Lin couldn't help but say.

"Brother."

Lin Lanyue interrupted him, frowning: "Before I came to Flying Star, I told you that what's past is past; it's not a big deal."

"I don't care what he thinks."

"In martial arts, one seeks a clear mind and no regrets."

"I do things for myself; helping him is not because I want him to do anything for me." Lin Lanyue said seriously.

Deep down, Lin Lanyue's personality is very stubborn, even carrying a trace of rebellion.

This is related to her living alone in Jiangcheng City when she was very young.

Although she had housekeepers, nannies, guards, martial arts teachers, and everything else, she lacked a lot of family affection.

"Fine, fine, fine, as long as you know what's in your heart."

Big Brother Lin raised his hands in surrender: "Do you want to take a day off today?"

"The 'Fire Bath' of the Nirvana Divine Canon, the longer each cultivation session lasts, the better the effect." Lin Lanyue shook her head: "I've only been at it for..."

"I'll endure through today first."

A trace of heartache flashed in Big Brother Lin's eyes, but he didn't try to persuade her anymore.

The Fire Bath is truly being burned in special flames.

That kind of pain, not many people can endure it completely.

But he had to admit that his sister's willpower and perseverance were indeed extraordinary; at least at this age, she was already second to none.

"Good, I'll take you to the 'Changji Volcano' later." Big Brother Lin said.

Watching her brother leave.

"Three times of Body-Washing Spirit Marrow per month?" Lin Lanyue muttered to herself; she remembered the information about Li Li Li Yuan she had just seen.

She knew very well the pain of the Body-Washing Spirit Marrow.

"Six days?"

"Let's see if I can endure ten days; I can't lose by too much." A trace of determination flashed in Lin Lanyue's eyes.

She continued to practice her sword technique.

Every day, she practiced sword technique for half a day and then went to endure the 'Fire Bath' to temper her body for half a day.

April 17th, evening, Li Li Li Yuan returned home.

"Brother, come quickly and watch your program."

"It's a rerun!"

"Come quickly." Li Li Li Qianqian and Li Li Li Muhua had already run over, both quite excited.

On the sofa in the distance, Chen Hui was all smiles.

"Program?" Li Li Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized it was the program interviewing him.

It aired so soon?

Li Li Li Yuan was pulled by his younger brother and sister; he didn't even have time to take off his shoes before arriving in the living room.

On the light screen projection, Li Li Li Yuan's interview program was indeed playing.

"'The Impoverished Jiangbei Martial Arts Top Graduate? Exploring the Unknown Heart-Wrenching Journey Behind a Martial Arts Genius'?" Li Li Li Yuan recited the promotional slogan for this episode that the host was reading.

In an instant, Li Li Li Yuan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Which "Shock Department" did this come from?

"Aunt, this is a promotional program for the Martial Hall; the script was prepared in advance." Li Li Li Yuan explained hurriedly.

"I understand."

"Don't worry, your aunt used to minor in journalism." Chen Hui smiled: "Journalism students, I understand all of this."

Li Li Li Yuan nodded with a smile; it was good that his aunt didn't think too much about it.

On the light screen.

"Since I was a child, I have been determined to join the Starfire Martial Hall." Li Li Li Yuan said, his face earnest: "This is the Martial Hall opened by Senior Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji; I have always admired Senior Senior Senior Dongfang..."

"I heard that the Starry Sky Martial Hall was the first to invite you, and it was a D-level contract at first, right?" the host asked.

"No!"

"The Starry Sky Martial Hall did indeed invite me first and prepared a C-level contract for me, and Hall Master Song Yi is a very good person." Li Li Li Yuan's face was full of the 'sincerity' unique to a teenager: "She specifically told me that although she didn't have enough authority, as long as I was willing to sign, she would definitely help me apply for a B-level contract later and was even willing to sponsor me privately."

"Hall Master Song Yi is a very excellent and dedicated Hall Master." Li Li Li Yuan said earnestly: "It's not that the Starry Sky Martial Hall is bad, it's just that I wanted to join Starfire more..."

... "Li Li Li Yuan is the most excellent teenager I have discovered in recent years. At that time, I didn't have enough B-level contract spots, so I specifically applied to our City Martial Hall's Hall Master Fei, and Hall Master Fei agreed immediately." Wan Qinghe said in the VCR during the interview.

"Li Li Li Yuan has a great sense of justice; he is also a recipient of the Youth Hero title." Li Li Li Yuan's classmate was interviewed.

... Finally.

"Back then, not being able to invite Li Li Li Yuan might be the regret of my life." In the VCR, Song Yi even appeared; her face carried loss, but also a trace of pride: "But his growth along the way is enough to prove that my judgment back then was not wrong; he is indeed an uncut jade."

"If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame Li Li Li Yuan for being too determined; once he sets a goal, he doesn't change it easily."

"However, no matter which Martial Hall he joins, he is a genius of our Xia Kingdom." Song Yi's voice was sonorous, elevating the theme of the entire program: "I think very highly of Li Li Li Yuan; I look forward to the day when Li Li Li Yuan can become a Flying Martial Artist and protect the heaven and earth of our Xia Kingdom."

Li Li Li Yuan watched the program, the corner of his mouth twitching!

He remembered the dinner last night; both sides talked very happily.

Wan Qinghe promised to give Song Yi a shot.

"Get 4 million more just for this one shot?" Li Li Li Yuan muttered to himself: "Can the high-level officials of the Starry Sky Martial Hall really be trusted?"

However.

Li Li Li Yuan didn't care much; as long as the money was in hand.

Li Li Li Yuan never expected that the evening program was just the beginning; for the next two days.

This program continued to ferment, spreading on major regional network forums in Jiangcheng City and even within Jiangbei Province.

Li Li Li Yuan actually showed signs of becoming popular.

"Brother Li Li Yuan, 666!"

"You actually got on a program? Brother Li Li Yuan, when did you go to film it? You didn't even tell us."

"Brother Li Li Yuan, your web blog account followers have skyrocketed again, from over a thousand to over thirty thousand now."

"Over forty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand, it broke fifty thousand." Li Li Li Yuan once again became a popular figure in the school.

"Brother Li Li Yuan, this time when you go to the noodle shop at the school gate, the boss will definitely recognize you."

Li Li Li Yuan didn't take the program too much to heart.

A week later.

The Starry Sky Martial Hall's triennial review ended, and Song Yi passed smoothly; she specifically sent a 'thank you' emoji to Li Li Li Yuan via V-message.

Inside the 7024 martial arts room of the Starfire Guanshan Branch Hall.

"Squeezed a sum out of her, and she still has to thank me?" Li Li Li Yuan shook his head and scanned the numbers in his bank account.

Bank balance: 18.79 million Blue Star coins

Martial Hall points: 4.08 million

Martial Hall cultivation points: 9.57 million

"I haven't spent much of the Blue Star coins yet; gave 2 million to my aunt, and harvested another 10 million here." Li Li Li Yuan thought: "It's almost at 20 million."

However, the consumption of Martial Hall points was very high.

In just one month, just by purchasing cultivation resources, Li Li Li Yuan had already spent over 2.6 million.

The main reason was that Li Li Li Yuan's physical evolution required more consumption than estimated in the cultivation plan.

One month requires 30 bottles of First-Stage Blood Qi potion, 4 Source Power Essence Pills, plus three portions of Body-Washing Spirit Marrow per month; one month costs 1.3 million points/Blue Star coins.

"Buy the second batch."

"It's enough for the body evolution needs until mid-May." Li Li Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Clang~

Li Li Li Yuan opened the 'insulation box' in the therapy room and took out a bottle of Body-Washing Spirit Marrow.

Gritting his teeth.

"Damn it, have to do it again."

"Are the people at Kunlun Martial Arts University perverts? Can everyone bear it better than me?" Li Li Li Yuan muttered: "That's right, university students must be better than high school students."

High school students will always have a trace of admiration for university students.

After a while.

"Ah!" In the full-body therapy instrument, Li Li Li Yuan's low roar, which was hard to tell if it was painful or comfortable, sounded again.

April 27th.

The 29th-level Source Martial Artist skilled in mental secret techniques invited by Hall Master Fei Gan arrived, cooperating with the hospital's highest-level 'Consciousness Awakening Instrument.'

After spending an hour.

Uncle Li Zhangzhou finally woke up.

May 10th, Li Zhangzhou was discharged from the hospital.

He didn't return to the previous home but moved directly to the Starfire Nanhu residential area, Li Li Li Yuan's new home.

May 15th, Li Li Li Yuan and the others moved all the necessary things into the new home.

Time passed day by day; Li Zhangzhou did not go out to work for the time being and was recuperating at home.

His aunt returned to work at school.

After the "Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement" promoted by Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji, all martial arts universities and cultural universities on the seven planets of human civilization adopted the college entrance examination model.

Therefore, as time entered June.

The entire Jiangcheng City and even the Xia Kingdom, and it can even be said the entire Blue Star.

Almost all countries, the eyes of all people, were focused on the annual college entrance examination.

This is the examination that determines the fate of countless people.
