"Bro!"
The moment the call connected, Chen Qianqian's unmistakable, energetic voice burst through the receiver.
"I'm free! I'm heading back to Yicheng today!"
"That soon?"
Chen Lin raised an eyebrow. It was indeed time for Wucheng University's summer break.
"Of course! I can't wait to get home!" A sly note crept into Chen Qianqian's voice. "Oh, right, bro, I've prepared a huge present for you! Be at the High-Speed Rail Station at noon sharp to sign for it in person!"
"You're making it sound so mysterious." Chen Lin laughed.
"It'll definitely be a surprise! Gotta go. Stay safe on the road."
After ending the call, Chen Lin checked the time.
Nine in the morning.
There were still three hours until noon.
Rather than rushing out, he returned to the guest room and locked the door behind him.
With a thought, the ancient thread-bound book that could upend the world-the [Azure Origin Sword Art]-appeared in his hand.
When he had first obtained the [Everlasting Spring Art], he had merely found it intriguing.
But only after truly delving into the [Azure Origin Sword Art] did he realize that what he had practiced before probably amounted to little more than a basic calisthenics routine.
This was the supreme method that led to the true Immortal Path!
He sat cross-legged. Instead of rushing for results, he simply immersed his spiritual sense in the sword art's first-level cultivation method.
After just a brief moment of contemplation, the spiritual power within his dantian seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force. It began circulating along profound pathways with an efficiency more than a hundred times greater than that of the [Everlasting Spring Art]!
The process was unfamiliar and sluggish.
Yet the tangible sensation of his power soaring made every cell in his body tremble with excitement!
