Chapter 15

In the streets of Luoshan City's District 43, Sun Yan hung up the communication and muttered, "Shuilian Qing? Why is she coming to see me? That's strange."

Though the visit of a beautiful woman at night is something that excites male animals, especially a beauty like Shuilian Qing, who could make the testosterone levels of all the male students at South Eagle Academy skyrocket a hundredfold, Sun Yan was more concerned about the [Chongxu Juyuan Technique] in his backpack. If it got damaged in his hands, it would be a matter of life and death.

Carrying his backpack, Sun Yan quickly weaved through the crowd and soon stood in front of the Starry Sky Fighting City building.

Familiar with the route, Sun Yan arrived at the dedicated elevator. Before he could press the button, the elevator doors automatically opened. It seemed that the person on the top floor already knew he was coming, but he didn't know if it was King Chen or Uncle Chen tonight.

Ding...

The elevator stopped at the top floor. Sun Yan walked into the hall and saw King Chen on the sofa, with Uncle Chen standing respectfully beside him.

Their gazes fell on Sun Yan, and they both simultaneously showed a look of shock.

Looking Sun Yan up and down, King Chen asked in surprise, "Sun Yan, you've condensed Inner Yuan?"

Actually, with King Chen's keen eyesight, this question was completely redundant, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Sun Yan hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Fortunately, I just condensed Inner Yuan today."

He originally wanted to say that he had condensed Inner Yuan four days ago and become a Level 1 Warrior. But thinking about his previous solemn promise to return the [Chongxu Juyuan Technique] as soon as he completed the Body Tempering and Yuan Condensation, he feared it might affect their friendship. Sun Yan had few friends, and he valued this friendship greatly.

Four days earlier or four days later, it shouldn't make much of a difference.

"Great!" With a bang, King Chen slapped the table and stood up, "Condensing Inner Yuan in five days and becoming a Level 1 Warrior, well done, Sun Yan! Come, please sit!"

Beside him, Uncle Chen had already prepared a cup of tea and said respectfully, "Young Master Sun, please enjoy."

Sun Yan sat on the sofa and quickly took out the [Chongxu Juyuan Technique] from his backpack, "Thank you, King Chen."

Taking the [Chongxu Juyuan Technique], King Chen casually tossed it to Uncle Chen and smiled, "Sun Yan, how does it feel to be a Level 1 Warrior? Do you want to play a few rounds on the 'Military Virtual Fighting Machine'?"

Sun Yan's eyes lit up at the suggestion, "Really? That would be great." One of his purposes for coming here was to get some practice on the 'Military Virtual Fighting Machine'.

At this moment, Uncle Chen interjected, "Young Master, it's dinner time now. I guess Young Master Sun hasn't eaten yet."

"Oh? That's true." King Chen was taken aback and then said, "Sun Yan, wait a moment. I'll change my clothes, and we'll celebrate properly. This meal is on me."

Faced with King Chen's unyielding attitude, Sun Yan didn't know how to refuse and could only watch as King Chen walked into the inner room.

Sun Yan drank the tea in large gulps, secretly thinking, "Changing clothes again, rich people are really too particular, it's so troublesome."

Inside the room, King Chen's shocked expression couldn't be hidden, "Condensing Inner Yuan in five days, five days? Uncle Chen, really five days?"

Behind him, Uncle Chen smiled and replied, "Young Master, to be precise, Young Master Sun took less than five days to condense Inner Yuan and become a Level 1 Warrior."

"Less than five days, less than five days..." King Chen repeated the words, then suddenly clapped his hands, "Good, really good! The previous decision needs to be changed."

"Of course, Young Master." Uncle Chen bowed and said, "Although Young Master Sun is already 16 years old, condensing Inner Yuan in less than five days indicates his extraordinary talent, combined with his high-level comprehension. His future martial achievements are immeasurable, possibly not inferior to Young Master."

King Chen shook his head and affirmed, "No, if I weren't from the Chen family and didn't practice the [Chengwang Baikou Technique], Sun Yan's future achievements would definitely surpass mine."

"Young Master is wise."

King Chen paced back and forth, a hint of hesitation in his expression, "Uncle Chen, do you think it's still necessary to secure a spot at Imperial Wind Academy?"

Uncle Chen replied respectfully, "Young Master, the [Chongxu Juyuan Technique] is just a good start. With Young Master Sun's current strength, he will almost certainly enter Imperial Wind Academy in the graduation exam in 10 days. Our interference would be inappropriate."

"That's true. Condensing Inner Yuan in five days, with such terrifying martial comprehension. For someone like this, entering Imperial Wind Academy would be a piece of cake." King Chen pondered, then sighed, "What should we do?"

Uncle Chen smiled, "Young Master has few friends, so you find it hard to interact with others, which is not surprising. Actually, as long as Young Master follows four words, you will surely become good friends with Young Master Sun."

King Chen's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Oh? What four words?"

"Treat him sincerely."

"Treat him sincerely?" King Chen was taken aback and nodded slightly.

...分割...

At night, a black floating limousine sped down the road, drawing the attention of passersby.

There were no more than 100 such limousines in Luoshan City, and they were the dream cars of car enthusiasts - the StarChase X200.

With its streamlined and cool exterior, every part of the car, from the body to the smallest component, was handcrafted by a Level 6 Warrior, capable of withstanding the firepower of a starship and even performing short-distance space flight.

Owning a StarChase X200 was not just a matter of wealth; it was also a symbol of power.

The legendary Zeus Huang financial group's StarChase series was not something that could be bought with just credit points. The value of this StarChase X200 was even greater than that of a small starship.

Sitting in the car, Sun Yan felt no vibration and marveled at the spacious cabin, "It's really spacious and comfortable. No wonder so many people want one. The StarChase X200, known as the 'cannon room,' is the ultimate tool for dating and seducing girls."

King Chen was drinking wine and almost choked at Sun Yan's words, then laughed, "If you like it, I'll give you the car."

Sun Yan rolled his eyes, almost choking, "Forget it, I can't even afford the maintenance costs. Sigh, you rich kids! You're too extravagant."

King Chen found it interesting and asked, "Oh? Sun Yan, what do you think of us rich kids?"

"What do you think?" Sun Yan thought for a moment, "On the left side of their face, it says 'I'm rich,' on the right side, 'I'm capable,' on the forehead, 'I have connections,' and on the nose, 'Just give in to me, girl.' Their eyes are on the top of their heads. Yeah, something like that."

King Chen couldn't help but laugh, "This is definitely the behavior of those at South Eagle Academy, probably mostly from the Qian family. You can't generalize."

"Qian family?" Sun Yan thought of Qian Lin and Qian Li and nodded, "You're right about that."

Many members of the Qian family attended South Eagle Academy, and many of the school's top officials were also from the Qian family, making them the dominant force at South Eagle Academy, untouchable by others.

King Chen's expression turned cold, "As a warrior, one should focus on martial arts and not be swayed by the heart. The Qian family has completely forgotten this, each generation worse than the last."

Sun Yan's mouth moved, but he shrugged and said nothing. As one of the three major young geniuses of Luoshan City, King Chen had the right to say such things, but Sun Yan had no such authority.

Seeing Sun Yan's silence, King Chen continued, "Sun Yan, you should know that you have exceptional talent. A person like you, entering any high-level academy, will become an outstanding warrior in the future. However, my advice is to aim for Imperial Wind Academy, where we belong."

Sun Yan's heart skipped a beat, "Imperial Wind Academy?"

Imperial Wind Academy, the top academy in the Southern Wind Domain, known as the premier academy in the southern star systems and one of the ten prestigious academies in the Odin Star Region. This was the ideal destination for every intermediate academy student, and for the former Sun Yan, the name of this academy was too far out of reach, something he had never even dared to dream about.

As for what made this academy so special, Sun Yan had never investigated, only knowing that many of the big shots in Luoshan City and even on Dommil Planet were graduates of Imperial Wind Academy.

"Exactly, Imperial Wind Academy." King Chen nodded, "Sun Yan, you might not know, but many advanced combat techniques and cultivation methods are controlled by various families, clans, and financial groups. To obtain these techniques and methods, one must become a member of these groups. Our Chen family, or the three major families of Luoshan City - Feng, Chang, and Qian, have such ancestral rules, where non-direct descendants cannot obtain the family's core combat techniques and cultivation methods."

"Advanced combat techniques must be accompanied by unique cultivation methods to achieve their maximum power. Even with your comprehension, it would be difficult to deduce an entire advanced combat technique through combat alone..."

Sun Yan listened in amazement, these secrets were something he had never encountered before. He only knew that the combat techniques and cultivation methods widely used now were mostly released by the military, modified, simplified, and even censored versions.

Suddenly, Sun Yan came to his senses, "So, does Imperial Wind Academy have...?"

"Exactly." King Chen's eyes gleamed, "The founder of Imperial Wind Academy, Wu Qiaoyan, a famous Grand Martial Master in the Odin Star Region, left all the combat techniques and cultivation methods he collected throughout his life at Imperial Wind Academy. Over the past 2000 years, these have been added to, improved, and supplemented. Therefore, the library of Imperial Wind Academy is a hundred times more profound than any thousand-year-old martial arts family. That's the academy that suits us best."

Sun Yan couldn't help but be moved. He now understood the true value of Imperial Wind Academy. No wonder students from the entire Southern Wind Domain and even the other three domains of Dommil Planet were vying to get into Imperial Wind Academy.

"Don't think about other high-level academies, Sun Yan. Imperial Wind Academy is our destination for the next four years. With your strength, there's no difficulty."

As he spoke, the StarChase X200 stopped. Opening the door, Sun Yan looked at the towering building in front of him and turned to King Chen, "We're not having dinner here, right?"

This skyscraper was located in the center of Luoshan City, one of the city's landmarks - the Starry Sky Building. It was also the most luxurious comprehensive consumption venue in Luoshan City.

"What?" King Chen said matter-of-factly, "We'll pick out two suits first, then have dinner. We have a banquet to attend later."

Damn! We have to buy clothes, and buy them at the Starry Sky Building? Sun Yan firmly shook his head and patted his chest, "I think this suit is enough for any banquet."

"I'll pay, what are you afraid of?" King Chen grabbed him, "Sun Yan, you will have to adapt to these occasions in the future. As for the expenses, you'll soon realize that credit points won't be a problem for you."

That's in the future, but right now, even buying fast food is a problem for me!
