105th Training Room.
This was the training room Lin Jie had specially cleared out for Su Yuan's exclusive use.
In terms of treatment, Su Yuan was still one of a kind.
After spending fifteen days together, Lin Jie had completely come to regard Su Yuan as a very good friend.
Likewise, Lin Jie's progress during this period had been exceptionally rapid.
After sparring with Su Yuan, Lin Jie had grown accustomed to the taste of defeat.
Su Yuan could see through the trajectory of his moves every time.
None of the Mountain-Suppressing Spear's techniques had any effect on Su Yuan whatsoever.
Although Lin Jie was dejected, he still pulled himself together and went all out every time he sparred with Su Yuan.
"It's only 1:40 in the afternoon. Classes ended early today, so I might as well stay in the training room."
"The Blood Qi assessment is over. In five days, it'll be the battle for the Joint Key Class slots."
"That will be when I truly make a name for myself."
Su Yuan stood in the middle of the training room and muttered to himself.
To be honest, even he did not know where the limits of his current strength lay.
When he sparred with Lin Jie, Su Yuan barely needed to exert himself before Lin Jie was defeated. It was impossible to stir up Su Yuan's fighting spirit.
Two days ago, Su Yuan had tried asking Lin Jie to unleash the Mountain-Suppressing Spear with all his strength.
This time, Su Yuan did not dodge. Instead, he faced it head-on.
In the end, Su Yuan had completely blocked it with a Thunderclap Fist at eighty percent strength, leaving both of them dumbfounded.
Lin Jie had been utterly stunned, marveling at Su Yuan's explosive progress.
Lightning around Su Yuan's fist scraped against the spear tip, and Lin Jie's spear could not withstand the force of Su Yuan's punch at all.
"I've cleared Class Monitor Lin's hurdle. I wonder when he'll tell me about those two from First Class."
Su Yuan was very curious. Any information about those two from First Class seemed to have become a secret within Second High School, with very few people knowing anything.
"I'll take it one step at a time. For now, my goal is to secure a Joint Key Class slot."
After saying that, Su Yuan gently exhaled a breath of stale air and prepared to practice the Thunderclap Fist.
He would first cultivate the Thunderclap Fist to Perfection.
That way, his command of martial techniques would be overwhelmingly superior to everyone else's.
Others were still at Minor Achievement, or perhaps close to Great Accomplishment.
But Su Yuan was already at Perfection. The power unleashed by their techniques was simply on a different level. How were they supposed to fight him?
Su Yuan clenched his fists and practiced the Thunderclap Fist's forms in tandem with the Concise Thunder Breathing Method.
Each time Su Yuan exerted force, sharp sounds of air being torn apart echoed through the training room.
Coupled with the dazzling lightning that flashed from his fist winds, Su Yuan now resembled a martial arts master who had pushed the lightning attribute to its absolute limit.
"That kid..."
Outside the training room, Lin Zhenyan silently watched Su Yuan through a crack in the window.
"Great-Accomplishment Thunderclap Fist?"
"Su Yuan's attainments in martial techniques are quite high."
After watching him throw punches for only a short while, Lin Zhenyan had discerned the Thunderclap Fist's level.
"His Blood Qi foundation is solid, his fist winds are fierce, and his footwork is steady."
"When he performs the Thunderclap Fist, his control over the muscles throughout his body is extremely strong."
"Hiss..."
"This child is a martial arts prodigy!"
After watching Su Yuan complete a full cycle of the Thunderclap Fist, Lin Zhenyan could not help widening his eyes, which were filled with admiration.
"From what I can see, Jie is completely no match for him."
"For Jie to encounter a genius of this level, I need to tell him that he must deepen his friendship with Su Yuan."
"Our Starrock Martial Arts Academy cannot miss out on such a talent."
"Who knows? Su Yuan might have a chance to clear the Twenty-Eighth Secret Realm in the future. When that happens, our entire Starrock Martial Arts Academy will soar along with him."
As the academy master, Lin Zhenyan naturally had a sharp eye.
He could see just how much potential Su Yuan possessed.
They absolutely could not make an enemy of a talent of this caliber.
After watching for a while longer, Lin Zhenyan made up his mind and quietly left the entrance to the 105th Training Room.
Suddenly, Su Yuan glanced toward the door, a strange look flashing through his eyes.
Just now, he had felt as though someone had been watching him.
Moreover, there seemed to be a faint scent of blood in the air. This unprecedented sensation was probably not an illusion.
"The smell of blood..."
Su Yuan frowned slightly, recalling what Lin Jie had said a few days ago.
"My dad hasn't been at the academy lately. He took a group of people into the Twenty-Ninth Secret Realm."
"No one knows when he'll return, but it should be soon."
"Could it be that Academy Master Lin is back?"
Su Yuan suddenly understood. That seemed to be the only possibility.
Lin Jie had told the other academy members not to disturb Su Yuan while he was training.
At this moment, the only person who could appear here without Su Yuan noticing was the master of Starrock Martial Arts Academy, Lin Zhenyan.
Shaking his head, Su Yuan stopped thinking about it.
If Academy Master Lin was back, then he was back. He could properly thank him when they met.
Since the other man had not disturbed him, Su Yuan would pretend not to have noticed Academy Master Lin's arrival.
"Pu Shan."
"After three this afternoon, move Su Yuan's training room to Room 205. From now on, fulfill his requests as much as possible, as long as they aren't excessive."
At the academy's front desk, Lin Zhenyan suddenly appeared beside Pu Shan.
"205th Training Room!"
Pu Shan covered her mouth in shock. The 205th Training Room was second only to the academy master's and young academy master's training rooms within Starrock Martial Arts Academy.
The 205th Training Room was fully equipped. Other than being slightly smaller than Lin Jie's training room, there was no difference at all.
"Understood, Academy Master."
Pu Shan followed her academy master's orders. When the young academy master returned from school later, he would probably be equally shocked.
Afterward, Lin Zhenyan walked out of the academy and vanished from Pu Shan's sight.
"Su Yuan..."
Pu Shan kept murmuring Su Yuan's name. Then delight appeared on her face, and she hurriedly began operating the computer.
The 205th Training Room also required special authorization before one could enter.
Identity information had to be entered into the computer before the training room door could be opened through iris recognition.
At three in the afternoon, a light knock suddenly sounded at the 105th Training Room.
Seeing this, Su Yuan stopped practicing and opened the training room door.
"Sister Pu, what is it?"
When he saw that the visitor was Pu Shan, Su Yuan broke into a smile.
"Su Yuan, you won't need to train here anymore. The academy master has changed your room to one with better conditions."
"Come with me. I'll take you to the 205th Training Room."
Pu Shan got straight to the point, leaving Su Yuan somewhat flattered.
Again?
Academy Master Lin had specially changed his training room for him?
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate...?"
Su Yuan stood where he was, somewhat hesitant.
Before Su Yuan could say another word, Pu Shan grabbed him and sped off in a certain direction.
She moved so quickly that Su Yuan had no chance to react.
She's so strong!
Su Yuan was startled inwardly.
Although Pu Shan held his right hand, she controlled her strength with remarkable precision. Su Yuan only felt himself being guided by a gentle force.
His body involuntarily followed behind Pu Shan.
Seven seconds later, Pu Shan brought Su Yuan to a stop before a wall.
The familiar sight left Su Yuan slightly dazed.
The scene before him looked familiar, but it did not seem to be outside Class Monitor Lin's training room.
"Su Yuan, hold out your right hand and register your palm print."
"Huh?"
Su Yuan did not move.
Seeing this, Pu Shan grabbed Su Yuan's right hand and pressed it against the wall.
Su Yuan: "..."
Sister Pu seemed a little rough.
Immediately afterward, an iris scan swept over Su Yuan's entire body.
With a creaking sound, the wall slowly opened along a Rift, and the door gradually unfolded.
