Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

After the afternoon classes ended, Lin Yue went to the elite class's practice room.

First, I practiced the Bear Sutra. I sat cross-legged and circulated my breathing. After mastering the Bear Sutra, my breath recovered twice as fast as before. In less than ten minutes, my breath was fully replenished.

Current True Qi Reserves: 0.5%

"It seems that besides practicing the Bird Strike Technique, resting and practicing other techniques can also increase the amount of true qi stored."

"I just don't know when this 'seed of true energy' will sprout."

Lin Yue could now sense a trace of true energy, but 0.5% was still too little.

"Not enough, far from enough!"

After Lin Yue finished practicing the three forms of the Bear Stance, he then practiced the Bird Stretch, spreading his wings, flapping his wings, and folding his wings. Each movement was imbued with the intention of "lightness." After his speed increased by 15%, his movements became much smoother than before.

Finally, there's the Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist...

"Hoo." Lin Yue exhaled, sat on the ground, and began to circulate the Bear Scripture to recover his energy.

Practicing martial arts requires perseverance.

The bracelet vibrated slightly, and Chen Fang's message popped up: "Brother Yue! I heard you have a qualification test next week? Good luck! You have to treat us if you pass!"

Lin Yue tapped his fingertip lightly and replied with a single word: "Okay."

Chen Fang is doing very well in the mechanical engineering class, and it is said that he is only one step away from becoming a mechanic.

Lin Yue looked at the message and smiled slightly: "Once you advance to the level of Mechanic, it'll probably be my turn to mooch off your meals."

"Hahahaha, of course."

Chen Fang sent another message: "Have you taken some kind of magic pill lately? Your progress is so fast!"

"no."

"Then tell me the truth, how exactly did you train?"

"Practice the basics for three years first."

"...Never mind if I didn't ask, I'll just stick to my mechanical stuff."

Lin Yue looked at the message and couldn't help but chuckle. He put away the bracelet, stood up again, and continued to punch the sandbag, the sound of his punches cutting through the air filling the air.

......

At 7 p.m., Lin Yue and her mother went to Gu Feng's house.

Gu Feng prepared a table full of dishes: braised pork ribs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, cucumber salad, and a bowl of pork rib soup.

Gu Yutang sat at the table, one hand supporting her cheek, the other holding chopsticks, her eyes fixed on the plate of braised pork ribs.

"I've been waiting for you forever!" she complained. "Sit down and eat!"

Lin Yue sat down, picked up a piece of pork rib. The rib was stewed until tender, the meat and bone were easily separated, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

After practicing martial arts, it's essential to replenish your body with food.

People who are good at martial arts must have an amazing appetite, otherwise they simply cannot replenish the energy they consume.

"Is it good?" Gu Yutang turned her head and asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"tasty."

"Of course, my cooking is never bad!" Gu Yutang proudly raised her chin, then picked up a piece of pork rib and stuffed it into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

Gu Feng sat opposite him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his expression calm.

As the two young people wolfed down their food, Lin's mother smiled faintly, her eyes filled with tenderness.

After the meal, Gu Yutang took the initiative to wash the dishes, and soon the sound of running water came from the kitchen.

Gu Feng pointed to the sofa next to him, gesturing for Lin Yue to come and sit down.

"The Xuan Tian Martial Hall issued you a D-level contract?" Gu Feng put down his teacup, his brows furrowed slightly, his tone thoughtful.

Logically speaking, now is not the time for the Martial Hall to recruit special members. According to the Blazing Martial Hall, it will take at least several more months.

As a member of the Blazing Sky Martial Hall, Gu Feng was very familiar with the recruitment schedules of the various martial halls.

"Lin Yue is going to the Xuantian Martial Hall?" Gu Yutang wiped her hands as she walked out, suddenly remembering Wang Teng from her class. He seemed quite familiar with the Xuantian Martial Hall, but Wang Teng's strength was mediocre. Last time she fought him, he was defeated in two moves.

"Mom, what do you think?" Lin Yue turned to his mother and asked softly.

"As long as it's your own decision, Mom will support you." Lin's mother smiled and patted his hand, her tone full of trust.

"May I see that contract?" Gu Feng took a sip of tea and gestured for Lin Yue to look at it.

Lin Yue handed over the paper report.

Gu Feng glanced at a few lines, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and fell into deep thought: "One million Blue Star Coins per year, plus other resources worth 500,000..."

One million Blue Star Coins is a huge sum for an ordinary family, but for a mid-level martial artist, it's barely enough to cover daily expenses.

The consumption of cultivation resources, the treatment of injuries and illnesses, and the purchase of various elixirs—each expense amounts to astronomical figures.

While signing the contract in advance demonstrates the Martial Hall's recognition of its strength, the sincerity of this contract is truly lacking.

100 million Blue Star Coins, that's more like fooling a high school student.

"Lin Yue," Gu Feng looked up at him, his tone serious.

"If you're not in a hurry to use this money, you might as well wait until the Martial Hall's unified special recruitment in December. At that time, all three Martial Halls will come to the school to sign contracts, and outstanding talents will be highly sought after. You will have more choices then."

In December, the three major martial arts halls will hold a unified recruitment event, sending representatives to various schools to sign contracts with students who are strong or exceptionally talented.

At that time, Lin Yue might be able to sell himself to a higher-priced seller.

"By the way, Yu Tang also received a contract from the Xuan Tian Martial Hall before."

"But just like your current situation, it's not sincere enough." Gu Feng shook his head.

As a member of the Blazing Martial Hall, Gu Feng naturally hoped that his daughter would have a brighter future, and that it was not worth it for such petty gains.

"I understand, Uncle Gu." Lin Yue nodded his thanks, then stood up with his mother and said goodbye to the Gu family.

......

"Sister Dan, it seems that Gu Yutang isn't very keen on signing a contract with our Xuantian Martial Hall." Wang Teng scratched his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Back at school, Wang Teng had tried to contact Gu Yutang several times, but all his attempts ended in failure. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough not to feel ashamed.

"Oh? Not even a hint of interest in a D-level contract?" Xu Dan raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone tinged with surprise.

The Martial Hall's D-level contract is already a significant preferential treatment for high school students. Even if it's not top-tier, it's enough to support a martial artist in completing the initial stages of training.

Xu Dan had never seen a high school student refuse a case before.

"What are these high school students thinking? Why would they give up a million dollars?" Xu Dan thought to herself, her face full of confusion.

One is Gu Yutang from Hehai High School, and the other two are students from the Affiliated High School of Wuhan University of Science and Technology in Jiangcheng.

Xu Beihai, who was being fiercely contested by the three major martial arts halls, didn't even want this contract. He was capable and came from a good family.

But what's up with this Lin Yue? His family isn't well-off, his life energy level isn't particularly high, and he doesn't even care about 100 million? That's really strange.

"If Wang Teng hadn't mentioned it to Wang Dao, there would be tons of students like Lin Yue in Jiangcheng."

"A D-level contract is already a lot of praise for him."

Seeing that Xu Dan looked unwell, Wang Teng quickly found an excuse to retreat.

"Sister Dan, I still have homework to finish, so I'll have to go now."

Meanwhile, Lin Yue, who had already returned home, logged into the Starry Sky Battle Network.

"It's been a while since I've been active on Battle.net, let's play a couple of games."
