Trouble even when lying flat? The school team's call for help!

The days after Lin Yuan won the championship were so enviable that even immortals would shake their heads in admiration.

He perfectly fulfilled his promise to his grandfather, taking the concept of "slacking off" to the extreme.

He slept until he woke up naturally every day.

When he woke up, a maid would feed him top-tier spirit fruits.

After eating his fill, he would go to the lawn in the back garden to sunbathe. When he got tired, he would return to his large bed in his room to sleep again.

During this time, the system's rewards arrived like clockwork, just like clocking in for work.

They were credited on time and never missed.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully slacked off for three days, contributing to the cause of the idle fish. Reward: one Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, a low-grade Heaven-tier pill!]

[Ding! Detected that the host has continuously slacked off for five days, with a focused mind and a stable Dao heart. Reward: a fragment of an ancient formation scroll - Grand Celestial Star Array - Fragment!]

[Ding! Detected that the host has continuously slacked off for seven days, achieving the "Slacking Off Master" achievement. Primal Chaos Saint Body automatic operation efficiency +1%!]

Rumble!

On this day, Lin Yuan was lying on a beach chair by the swimming pool, drinking ice-cold spirit fruit juice.

The spiritual energy within his body, under the automatic operation of the Primal Chaos Saint Body, had accumulated to an unprecedented peak!

The next second, it was as if an invisible barrier was quietly broken.

At his Dantian, a vortex of chaotic spiritual energy suddenly condensed, then rapidly expanded, transforming into a vast and boundless "ocean"!

Qi Sea Realm!

The third major realm of martial arts, achieved!

A terrifying aura, ten times more powerful than the Marrow Cleansing Realm, flashed through his body and then was perfectly concealed by the Primal Chaos Saint Body, without alerting anyone.

Feeling the surging spiritual energy ocean within him, Lin Yuan smacked his lips in satisfaction.

From the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm ninth level to opening up his Qi Sea and stepping into the Qi Sea Realm First Level.

Even with massive resource support, ordinary geniuses would need to go into seclusion and cultivate diligently for months, or even a year, to stabilize their realm.

He, however, had broken through naturally just by slacking off for a few days and sleeping a few naps.

"Alas, being invincible is so lonely."

Lin Yuan yawned and turned over.

Continuing his grand endeavor of slacking off.

Meanwhile.

The preliminaries of the National University Martial Arts League were in full swing.

The school team from the Capital Martial Arts Academy of the Dragon Summer Country, led by Captain Gu Ningxue, welcomed their first formidable opponent –

Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy.

"Hah!"

On the stage, Gu Ningxue's movements were elegant.

Her long sword danced up and down, weaving streaks of bright sword flowers, forcing her opponent to retreat repeatedly.

Her opponent was the ace of Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy.

A genuine genius at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level, who wielded the Blazing Palm with fierce dominance.

Although Gu Ningxue's realm was higher.

Having broken through another level in the past month to reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm Seventh Level, she was not fighting easily.

On the other side, Ye Xuan was also in a tough battle.

With his cultivation at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Second Level, he was facing an opponent at the Fourth Level.

Although he had the upper hand due to his rich combat experience and secret techniques, his spiritual energy consumption was extremely high.

Finally, after a hard-fought battle.

The Capital Martial Arts Academy won the match with a narrow advantage of three to two, a rather difficult victory.

After the match, in the lounge, the atmosphere was somewhat subdued.

"No, the shortcomings of our team are too obvious."

Gu Ningxue's delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she pointed out the problem incisively, "We lack an absolute powerhouse who can deliver a decisive blow. When facing opponents of Yan Jing Academy's caliber, I have to deal with their ace and cannot support others. Although Ye Xuan can challenge opponents of a higher level, his spiritual energy endurance is a major issue."

Everyone remained silent. They all knew that what Gu Ningxue said was the truth.

If every match was this difficult, let alone winning the championship, they might not even make it to the finals.

At this moment, a lazy figure appeared in everyone's minds, unbidden.

If that man were here...

Perhaps just him standing on the stage would have ended the match.

"Yeah, if Lin Yuan were here, we wouldn't have to struggle so much."

A team member couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of longing. "You all saw it last time, he dealt with Zhao Hao like it was child's play, just swatted him away with one palm. And that was someone at Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level!"

Another team member nodded repeatedly. "More than that, I heard that during his entrance test, he shattered the highest hardness test pile with a single punch, even startling the teachers. If he were willing to join the school team, let alone the ace of Yan Jing Academy, even if he encountered stronger opponents, he could probably handle them with ease."

"Alas, what a shame..." someone murmured with regret. "He probably doesn't even care about this kind of competition. After all, his strength is evident, he probably finds it boring."

The team members chatted amongst themselves, their words full of admiration for Lin Yuan's strength.

That certainty of "if he's here, it's a sure win" pricked Ye Xuan's heart like tiny needles.

His fists clenched secretly within his sleeves, his knuckles turning white.

Why?

Why, even now, were these people still talking about that guy?

He had just barely won the match by exhausting his spiritual energy!

Were his efforts so insignificant in their eyes?

Ye Xuan's heart churned with intense jealousy and displeasure.

Lin Yuan?

He's just a coward who only knows how to hide in the manor and enjoy himself!

If he were really on this high-intensity league stage, he might not be as good as me!

A bunch of short-sighted fools!

Just you wait!

Sooner or later, he would make everyone know.

Without Lin Yuan, he, Ye Xuan, was the true pillar of the Capital Martial Arts Academy!

After a long silence, Gu Ningxue seemed to have made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and took out her Optical Computer.

"It seems I have to try one more time."

In front of everyone, she dialed the number that gave her a headache.

Lin Family Manor.

Lin Yuan was enjoying a massage service from a maid when the Communicator on his wrist suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID--

Gu Ningxue.

"Hello?"

He answered lazily.

"Lin Yuan! It's me!" Gu Ningxue's voice sounded a little anxious, "I'll make it short, the School Team is in trouble right now, we need you! This concerns the honor of our entire academy!"

"Oh."

Lin Yuan's response was just one word.

"You... that's your reaction?"

"Don't you have any sense of collective honor? Besides, I heard Old War God Lin seems to be paying close attention to this league too..."

Gu Ningxue was almost choked to death by him.

She wanted to continue persuading.

However, Lin Yuan impatiently interrupted her.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Listening to the busy tone from the Communicator, Gu Ningxue was stunned.

He...

He hung up again?!

Before she could react, she tried calling again, only to hear a cold system prompt.

[Sorry, the user you are calling is busy, please try again later...]

In the Lounge, Ye Xuan looked at Gu Ningxue's ashen face, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.

He suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and pretended to be profound, saying, "Captain, there's no need to beg him anymore! That kind of coward is not worthy of fighting alongside us! Without him, I, Ye Xuan, can still lead everyone to victory!"

In his eyes, Lin Yuan's "cowardice" was the best opportunity heaven had given him to monopolize the credit!

He had to seize it!
