Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

Early the next morning.

Since it was the weekend, Gu Feng and Gu Yutang had nothing to do, so they went to Lin Yue's house as guests.

After ringing the doorbell, Lin's mother opened the door. She was dressed in simple home clothes, with a warm smile on her face. Her eyes lit up instantly when she saw the two of them: "Brother Gu, Yutang, come in quickly!"

Gu Yutang stepped into the house first, her eyes immediately drawn to the newly renovated living room. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Lin Yue's house is so beautifully decorated now!"

"Brother Gu, Yutang, please have a seat," Lin's mother greeted with a smile.

Gu Feng sat down on the sofa. There was freshly brewed tea on the table, emitting a faint aroma.

Gu Feng took a sip of tea and sighed, "This must be tea specially supplied by the Starry Sky Martial Hall, right? It truly lives up to its reputation; it's even more mellow than the fine teas at home."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Gu Yutang beside him, his tone teasing: "If I had known that the Starry Sky Martial Hall had such good tea, I should have let you join back then, so you could bring some back for me to try."

After finishing his tea, Gu Feng's joking expression vanished. He picked up an exquisite gift box from his side and presented it to Lin's mother with both hands, his tone respectful:

"Sister-in-law Lin, this is a small token of our appreciation from Yutang and me. Please accept it."

Gu Yutang quickly stepped forward, a sweet smile on her face and sincerity in her eyes:

"Auntie, we haven't had time to celebrate Lin Yue joining the Starry Sky Martial Hall. It's not too late to make up for it now, is it?" When she smiled, two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, making her look cute and endearing.

"Not too late, not too late, you're so thoughtful." Lin's mother smiled as she accepted the gift box.

"Yutang, in a couple of days Auntie will take you to the city center for a shopping trip, and we'll buy you some pretty clothes."

Gu Yutang nodded, a smile on her face.

"Aunt Zhang, where is Lin Yueren?" Gu Yutang asked in confusion.

Normally, Lin Yue would definitely come out to greet them, but today Lin Yue didn't make a sound at all.

"Ah Yue is studying hard," Lin's mother said with a smile.

"That kid, Yue, is so clueless. He doesn't even know to come out and say hello."

Meanwhile, in Lin Yue's room, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

The desk was piled high with thick volumes of "Detailed Explanation of Task Theory".

Lin Yue sat at his desk, his brows furrowed, pen in hand, occasionally marking important points in the book, muttering to himself:

"This is such a headache, why is it so hard to remember?"

After a morning of studying, Lin Yue successfully read through 20 pages of key points, but finishing all five books was still a long way off.

Suddenly, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and a clear voice rang out: "What are you doing, Lin Yue?"

Lin Yue looked up abruptly and saw Gu Yutang standing at the door, wearing a white dress and with her long hair flowing down her shoulders.

He paused for a moment, then quickly put down his pen and asked in confusion, "I was reviewing my lessons, what are you doing here?"

"I had nothing to do during the holiday, so I came to see you." Gu Yutang had a beautiful smile with two small dimples.

"I believe it."

"By the way, don't you need to review? Your school must have mentioned the South China Sea Secret Realm, right?" Lin Yue asked.

Gu Yutang waved her hand dismissively, her tone tinged with smugness:

"I've already finished reviewing. I've already reached the Martial Artist realm, and I've encountered this kind of theoretical knowledge about secret realm missions before, so I know it by heart."

Seeing Lin Yue's dejected look, Gu Yutang couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, deliberately putting on a smug expression, and raised an eyebrow as she said:

"What? Do you need me to teach you? With my guidance, you'll be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort."

"Really?" Lin Yue was overjoyed.

Learning on your own is too slow; it would be much faster if someone gave you extra help.

"However, I have one request." Gu Yutang held up one finger.

"What are your requirements?"

"I'll tell you after the exam," Gu Yutang said mysteriously.

"Okay." Lin Yue nodded.

"Then let me see how far you've come," Gu Yutang said, gently leaning closer to Lin Yue and looking down at the textbook on the table.

A faint, pleasant fragrance suddenly wafted into Lin Yue's nose.

"Gu Yutang smells so good..."

Because they were so close, Lin Yue could even feel Gu Yutang's breath.

"The racial classification of Star Beasts..."

......

Before she knew it, several hours had passed. Gu Yutang closed her textbook, stretched, and said:

"Let's stop here for today. You'll get tired if we keep going. You need to balance work and rest to remember things better."

Originally, Lin Yue could only study about 20 pages in a morning, but with Gu Yutang's guidance, he managed to study 100 pages.

After seeing Gu Yutang and Gu Feng off, Lin Yue received the gift that Gu Yutang had brought from her mother.

"So that's what it is."

Lin Yue opened the box and found a doll modeled after himself, as well as a brand-new Starry Sky Battle Network personal terminal.

Lin Yue carefully placed the doll on the bedside table and then logged into the Starry Sky Battle Network.

[One-on-one body movement training by a renowned instructor.]

"Do you confirm your appointment time is 2 PM today?"

"confirm."

Please confirm the appointment location.

"Jiangcheng Starry Sky Martial Hall".

After finishing the course, Lin Yue performed another set of Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist.

"call."

"It's getting easier and easier to use."

"So this is the second-tier Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist? Compared to the first-tier Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist, its power is indeed much greater," Lin Yue exclaimed.

"After entering the Martial Artist realm, things are indeed different."

Since becoming a mid-level martial artist, Lin Yue has gained a new understanding of his body tempering method.

"A martial arts master is just around the corner."

2 PM, Starry Sky Martial Hall.

"The starry sky is right beneath your feet."

"Welcome to the Starry Sky Martial Hall." Lin Yue scanned his face and entered the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

Upon entering the martial arts hall, Lin Yue quickly spotted the burly men waiting at the training ground. He hurried forward and respectfully greeted them, "Instructor Hong."

The burly man turned around, sized Lin Yue up and down, nodded, and asked to confirm, "You must be Lin Yue?"

"It's me, Instructor," Lin Yue replied quickly.

"I am Hong Yu, an instructor from Starry Sky Battle Network." Hong Yu extended a hand and shook hands with Lin Yue.

"Hmm?" Lin Yue felt that Hong Yu's hand was very hard, unlike the hand of a normal human.

Noticing that Lin Yue's expression was off, Hong Yu revealed the mechanical arm. The mechanical arm was silver-gray all over, with flexible joints, and was almost indistinguishable from a normal arm.

"This hand was bitten off by a star beast during a star beast hunting mission a long time ago. Fortunately, the Alliance's technology is advanced enough now, and they gave me a mechanical prosthetic arm that functions almost the same as my original arm, or even stronger."

Lin Yue stared at the severed arm, utterly shocked.

"Well then, without further ado, let's begin the lesson."
