Lin Yu, Tricked into Crippledness!

Lin Yu, being a Son of Destiny, naturally had many tricks up his sleeve.

He was actually bailed out.

After taking a few deep breaths of the outside air, Lin Yu's gaze gradually firmed.

"The school can wait; the Cave Abode is more important!"

With that, Lin Yu immediately rushed towards the mountainous area his master had left him.

That's right, he ran!

Currently, Lin Yu was penniless, his wallet gone at some unknown point. Modern transport relied on QR code payments, but he, a master who had trained diligently in the mountains for over a decade, still had an impression of the city from ten years ago.

He was no different from a savage!

He had originally planned to contact Ye Changkong and have him arrange a car to pick him up.

However, the trip to the Cave Abode had to be discreet. This was his great opportunity, and there could be no mistakes.

He ran from the afternoon until late at night, covering an estimated distance of two marathons, enough to make even marathon world champion Kipchoge weep.

"Damn it, I finally made it."

"It was so far, I should've just called Ye Changkong."

Lin Yu grumbled, looking down at his shoes. The soles were worn through, and his big toes were poking out.

Even as an An Jin expert, he was completely exhausted.

Lin Yu arrived at the top of the mountain stream and directly leaped down.

A height of ten meters or so, while significant, didn't pose much of a problem for him, an An Jin expert.

He landed steadily, even striking a pose, though no one was watching.

"Holy shit!!!"

"Which idiot dropped a nail? I @#$%^& you (@#$%^&)"

Lin Yu immediately clutched his foot in pain. A long nail had nearly pierced through his sole.

But with astonishing willpower, he still staggered to his feet.

He slowly walked to the stone door... the stone... where was the stone door?

Lin Yu's eyes widened, utterly bewildered as he stared at the electronic door in front of him. Countless question marks filled his mind???

Lin Yu leaned against the electronic door, examining it closely, even secretly tapping it with his finger.

"Please enter password!"

The synthesized electronic voice startled Lin Yu.

"Damn it, Old Man Lin, are you... messing with me? An electronic door?!"

"You guys made this secret realm, and you told me it opens once every six years? Bah!"

Lin Yu clearly didn't take this electronic door seriously. He clenched his fist.

And punched it directly!

"Ah!!!"

A pig-like shriek.

"Why is this door so hard? I'm an An Jin expert!"

It was completely impenetrable; his fingers were numb from the impact.

Direct attack failed, so he resorted to clever tactics!

"What's the password?"

Lin Yu could only honestly try to figure out this password.

Drip! Please answer three questions. The door will automatically open after you answer.

Lin Yu smiled, a confident, arrogant smile.

Even though he had trained rigorously in the mountains for over a decade, when it came to knowledge... he was undoubtedly a top student!

"Ask away!"

Question 1: Shout 'I am a dog' three times loudly, and then bark three times like a dog.

"You motherf***er, Old Man Lin!"

Lin Yu immediately cursed.

Such a tormenting, pointless question was indeed something Old Man Lin would do.

"Old Man Lin, I know this is your doing, and you can probably hear me, right? Stop messing with me, I will never bow down."

Lin Yu stood with his arms crossed, looking arrogant.

Just like that... he battled wits with thin air for over ten minutes.

Lin Yu was starting to lose his composure.

"Hey, Old Man Lin, you're not seriously going to make me bark like a dog, are you?"

"Can't you just answer me?"

"Alright, alright, I'm marking this down!"

"I'm a dog! I'm a dog! I'm a dog! Woof woof woof~"

Lin Yu practically gritted his teeth as he spoke.

In Lin Yu's mind, his master was still messing with him.

Ding! Now for the second question: Please state the deepest secret hidden in your heart.

Lin Yu shrugged. This one wasn't a problem.

"Old Man Lin, don't you already know? Peeking at Widow Wang from the next village bathing? You were with me, weren't you? And now you're playing these games with me?"

Ding! Now for the third question.

Lin Yu's mouth curved into a wild grin. Is that all?

Old Man Lin, you're not so great yourself, are you?

You think this will stump me?

Third question: Please recite Pi to 10,000 decimal places, in full.

Lin Yu: "???"

What the hell?

Can't you be a little less infuriating?!

Recite to 10,000 decimal places? Can't you be a little less inhumane?!

But Lin Yu eventually succumbed to reality.

He opened his phone and began reciting the long string of digits for Pi.

"Heh heh... just 10,000 digits! It's reading it... not memorizing it? That's easy peasy!"

Although Lin Yu felt the question was nonsensical, 10,000 digits was... too simple. If he read two digits per second, it would only take a little over an hour. Not a difficult task at all.

"3..."

When he reached over four hundred digits, he suddenly misread one.

Ding! Incorrect. Please re-read...

Lin Yu frowned, instinctively sensing that something wasn't quite right.

But he started reading again. This time, he slowed his pace and was more focused.

However, he made a mistake again when he reached over a thousand digits.

"Damn it!"

He had to start over!

He read up to over two thousand digits... Holy crap!

Over three thousand... Ugh!

Over five thousand... Ah!

After countless attempts, two nights had passed, and it was now even noon on the third day.

Lin Yu was still reading!

He conserved his phone's battery as much as possible, and by the end, he could even skillfully recite up to over five thousand digits from memory. His brain was severely overloaded, and he was hungry, sleepy... and his vision was blurry.

Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully completed all trials. Ding! Door opened.

The electronic door opened—

Lin Yu burst into tears.

To think that he, the mighty raging dragon who had descended from the mountains, an An Jin expert... a tough guy who bled but didn't cry, would actually cry!

He had been tortured so inhumanely that now his head was full of numbers. Everything he saw looked like numbers, and he felt a strange urge for mechanical ascension.

"Finally, I'm in. Lin Xiaotian, don't let me run into you again... If I do, I'll pull out all your whiskers."

Lin Yu practically crawled into the Cave Abode.

The cave was very clean, with only a golden jade pendant and a blue-purple secret manual placed on a stone table.

Wait... blue-purple?

Lin Yu was a bit confused.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yu gasped.

Five Years of Exam Prep, Three Years of Mock Tests???

"Is this... is this some kind of... 'new skin' for an ancient martial arts manual?"

Lin Yu's mouth twitched as he picked up the thick book of materials.

"Is this really information? What the hell, is it math? And the new edition for this year?"

Even Lin Yu, foolish as he was, knew he'd been played!

"You damn Old Man Lin, are you just picking on me, huh?"

All that talk about a Cave Abode mystic realm that opens every six years was a complete lie!

Hmm... Lin Xiaotian was certainly capable of pulling off a trick like this.

But he still stubbornly flipped through the materials all the way to the last page.

Sure enough, there was writing left there.

[Son, knowledge changes destiny. Master knows you're impatient and full of anger; you must have suffered a setback, right? Listen to Master's advice... put aside your martial arts and read more books, it will do you good.]

[This time down the mountain, your masters want you to temper your heart in the mortal world. Improving your strength too quickly isn't good for you.]

[And don't get addicted to women either. Only studying can make you progress; women will only slow down your sword draw.]
