Returning Home and Unexpected Changes

It took half a month for Su You to exhaust his training time for the month, and the results were gratifying: his Dripping Water Sword technique had broken through to the third level, and his physical force output had reached 2.4 times.

After his sword technique broke through, Su You purchased a ticket home, opting for a first-class seat that cost 20 million Huaxia coins. An extra 10 million was just pocket change to him, and there was no need to endure the cramped space of economy class.

Over the past few months, especially in the two months since his physical fitness broke through to the Warlord level, hunting down Monster Warlords had become much easier.

In just a few short months, Su You had already amassed over 500 million Huaxia coins. In terms of earning speed, he was far faster than high-level Warlords in the outside world.

On January 16, 2054, at the Hongning Base City airport departure lounge, Su You sat alone in a seat, waiting.

This year's Spring Festival fell on February 8, so the Huaxia Country students at the training camp hadn't planned on going home yet; Su You was considered one of the earliest students to return.

About half an hour later, Su You finished checking his ticket and walked along the boarding bridge into the top-tier luxury cabin of the passenger aircraft.

In this current era, aircraft are mainly divided into four types.

The first type is the cheapest Flying Fighter Jet, priced at around 10 billion Huaxia coins, but it is only suitable for short-range flights around base cities. The Extreme Martial Arts Hall has one such jet in every base city around the world.

The second type is the Disc Fighter Jet, priced at nearly 50 billion Huaxia coins. It can perform long-distance flights, but the numbers are extremely scarce, and they are generally only owned by powerhouse-level officials.

The third type is the passenger aircraft that Su You was about to board; it is the most expensive form of public transportation in this era.

The fourth type is the Smart Fighter Jet, which can fly according to a person's will without a pilot. However, only Hong possesses the method to manufacture Smart Fighter Jets, and only the top brass of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall can purchase them.

Over an hour later, the passenger aircraft landed at the Kyoto Base City airport. As soon as Su You stepped off the plane, he saw Tang Yongqing running over, throwing herself directly into his arms.

"Xiao Qing, why did you run all the way here?" Su You was both pleasantly surprised and puzzled.

He had indeed told Tang Yongqing he would be back today, but normally she should have been waiting outside. How did she get to the side of the aircraft boarding stairs? Only people with extremely high status could come here to pick up passengers.

"Supervisor Wang brought me in," Tang Yongqing said.

Before Tang Yongqing could finish her sentence, Su You saw a figure walking toward him; it was none other than Supervisor Wang of the Kyoto Base City Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

"Uncle Wang, so it was you who brought Xiao Qing in!" Su You suddenly realized.

Supervisor Wang walked over and teased, "I was waving to greet you the moment you got off the plane, but I didn't expect you to only have eyes for your girlfriend!"

Su You chuckled, then asked, "Uncle Wang, are you here to pick up a friend today too?"

Supervisor Wang nodded and said, "That's right, I'm here to pick up a friend. I just happened to see Xiao Qing outside, so I brought her in."

As one of the supervisors of the Kyoto Base City Extreme Martial Arts Hall, he had his own connections at the training camp. Su You's return home wasn't a secret, so he had come specifically to pick him up after finding out—though he wouldn't state that explicitly.

If it were an ordinary training camp student, he would at most give some money as an investment, but Su You was completely different; he had charged into sixth place in the Basic Training Camp in just a few months.

With this kind of potential, he would at least be a mid-level God of War in the future, and a high-level God of War was very possible. Although he had invested once before, good relationships need to be maintained; how could he just invest once and never care again?

After Su You expressed his gratitude, Supervisor Wang continued, "Alright, I'll go pick up my friend first. I won't disturb your romantic reunion."

Just two steps away, Supervisor Wang turned back and said with a smile, "Oh, right, I just had a car sent over from the martial arts hall. You'll see it when you go out. If you're hanging around here for a few days, just contact the driver."

Su You nodded with a smile and led Tang Yongqing out of the airport.

He had his own guesses about Supervisor Wang's actions, but for him at the moment, it was a good thing. At the very least, it would reduce a lot of trouble, and he could return the favor in the future.

After leaving the airport, the two took the luxury car to Kyoto University. Although he had lived two lives, this was Su You's first time visiting this top institution in the country, so he naturally had to look around properly.

Halfway through, his brother-in-law Tang Yongyuan also rushed over, but after eating lunch together, he was promptly chased away by Tang Yongqing; she wasn't happy about being disturbed by this foolish younger brother during their time together.

As for introducing her roommates to Su You, Tang Yongqing didn't even mention it, which left Su You feeling slightly regretful.

At night, after experiencing the small woods of Kyoto University, Su You sent Tang Yongqing back to her dormitory and took the train back to Tianjin City.

The area between the base city and the satellite cities is within the human protection zone and also serves as a food production area, so the trains run all day long.

Early the next morning, Su You arrived at the Yourong Steamed Bun Shop on Wenjing Road. As soon as he arrived, he saw two burly men standing in front of the shop shouting, their mouths full of filth.

Behind the counter, He Yourong was hugging little Yuan Yuan, her face flushed with anger as she argued incessantly, while a group of passersby gathered around, pointing and whispering.

Su You frowned, flashed forward, and slapped both of them. The two thugs appeared to be ordinary people, so Su You didn't use much strength, but it was still enough to send them rolling to the ground, knocking out two teeth.

"Sister Yourong, what happened?" Su You asked as he walked to the counter, shooing away the onlookers.

Seeing Su You, He Yourong immediately relaxed, tears welling up instantly, and for a moment, she couldn't speak.

"I'm here, don't cry, don't cry." Su You stepped behind the counter and pulled He Yourong into his arms, comforting her softly.

After He Yourong's emotions calmed down, Su You asked softly, "Sister Yourong, do you know these two guys?"

He Yourong nodded, saying with a sobbing voice:

"Yesterday, the two of them came with a young man. That young man said he wanted to... to keep me as his mistress. I called him a lunatic, and he said if I didn't agree, he would make sure my business couldn't continue. Then he left."

Tang Yongqing gave Su You a light tap and continued, "I intended to mention it to you last night, but your video call never went through. I didn't expect that today..."

Su You's mouth twitched. When He Yourong had called last night, he was in the small woods of Kyoto University with Tang Yongqing. It was nearly eleven o'clock by the time he got back, so he hadn't returned the video call.

Su You cursed himself silently, then walked up to the two burly men and asked sternly, "Who was that bastard who came with you yesterday?"
