Chapter 46

In the early morning, the sun leaped from the horizon, shaking off its fiery red coat and began to scatter scorching heat across the ground, completely dispelling the coolness of the night.

It had been three days since the final exams ended, and summer vacation had started two days ago. Students were gradually returning home, and the campus of Nan Ying Academy was sparsely populated, appearing somewhat desolate.

At the edge of the playground, Sun Yan and Mu Tong sat there, gazing at the empty field. Both sighed, thinking about the beautiful scenery created by the girls, which they would no longer see.

Sun Yan remarked, "After today, we don't know when we'll return to school next."

Mu Tong also shook his head and sighed, "Ah! We used to look forward to graduation every day, but now that it's really here, we feel a bit nostalgic. Humans are just so contradictory!"

Sun Yan glanced at him with disdain, "Don't generalize, and don't compare me, such a noble person, to you."

"You've been showing off ever since you became a genius warrior!"

"I have always been consistent, with my noble, humble, and pure qualities unchanged for 16 years. Mu Tong, please don't deliberately slander me."

"Your character has been shaped under the influence of my great personality over a long period. Yan, you should know how to be grateful."

"My innate qualities are like a pearl, just long covered by dust. Now that the dust is gone, the light shines brightly, illuminating thousands of mountains and rivers."

"Hmph! A pearl covered by dust still needs someone to polish it to shine. Without my daily spiritual influence, could you have understood the essence of martial arts? The power of a role model is infinite."

The two young men mocked each other, shamelessly boasting, and chatted for a full half hour before licking their lips, still feeling unsatisfied, and stopping the topic.

Mu Tong checked the time, patted his buttocks, and stood up, saying, "Alright, Yan. I'm going home. We'll part here, and see you at Difeng Academy in half a month! By then, we, the Difeng Duo, will sweep through the school and charm all the girls."

"Uh, you're leaving now?" Sun Yan looked up, his eyes pleading, "At least wait for me to collect the prize from the [Zhengri Elimination Battle], so I can see you off."

"Get lost!" Mu Tong raised both middle fingers, sneering, "You just want to show off. With us as the green leaves, you can shine even brighter."

Sun Yan said innocently, "Look at what you're saying. We're brothers for life. Am I that kind of person?"

"You are that kind of person." Mu Tong sneered even more, then shook his head helplessly, "Actually, I wanted to stay for a couple more days, but something happened at home, and my family wants me to return as soon as possible."

Hearing the urgency in his best friend's voice, Sun Yan was puzzled. The two had been friends since junior college, but he knew little about Mu Tong's family situation and didn't feel comfortable asking more.

"Go back quickly, don't let your family worry," Sun Yan urged.

Watching Mu Tong's departing back, Sun Yan suddenly felt something. His gaze scanned the area subconsciously, and his brows furrowed.

Since the strange encounter at the ancestral house, Sun Yan's senses had become increasingly acute. Although he was now a Level 2 warrior, his perceptiveness far exceeded that of a Level 2 warrior.

During this time, whenever he was with his best friend Mu Tong, Sun Yan always had a sense of being watched, but he could never find any trace of it.

Sun Yan muttered, "Strange, why do I always feel like someone is watching me? Could it be a girl who has a crush on me? That makes sense, I'm so handsome and charming, it's normal for a girl to have a crush on me."

"Who has a crush on you?" A light and agile voice came from behind, startling Sun Yan. He turned around to see Feng Lingsnow standing beside him, sitting down next to him.

Every time he saw the top student and top beauty of Nan Ying Academy, Sun Yan felt a stunning shock.

Wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black shorts, with a golden ring on her right arm, her silky black hair casually draped over her white shoulders, her collarbone resembled two crescent moons, exquisitely beautiful.

Feng Lingsnow preferred black and white clothing, and these two colors perfectly highlighted her character. White snow in the night, wind chimes in the small house.

Sun Yan was momentarily stunned, awkwardly turning his head to the side. Each time he met Feng Lingsnow, he needed a moment to adjust before his heart rate returned to normal.

Feng Lingsnow suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed, "Your Inner Yuan cultivation is already at the peak of Level 2?"

Sun Yan came to his senses, thinking about the strange event he encountered at Luoshan Stone Tower three days ago. He felt a bit uneasy and laughed dryly, "Yes! I reached the peak of Level 2 Inner Yuan cultivation yesterday, by luck, by luck!"

Feng Lingsnow stared at him, her scalp tingling, her heart surging with waves of shock. The cultivation of battle techniques relies on time and personal insight. However, the cultivation of Inner Yuan is different, requiring a long-term accumulation process, from little to much, from quantitative to qualitative change.

But how long had this young man been a Level 2 warrior? She had seen Sun Yan advance to Level 2, and in less than half a month, he had already reached the peak of Level 2.

With "Great Deduction Level" martial arts insight and such a terrifying Inner Yuan cultivation speed, this young man's rapid progress was truly astonishing.

"I'm jealous!" Feng Lingsnow pouted, suddenly saying this.

Sun Yan didn't hear clearly and asked, "Hmm, Feng classmate, what did you say?"

Feng Lingsnow stretched out her hand, pinched Sun Yan's arm hard, and twisted it, saying resentfully, "I said, I'm jealous."

"Ah..." Sun Yan immediately cried out in pain, "It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go quickly!"

Finally, he managed to escape from Feng Lingsnow's "poisonous hand," pointing to the bruise on his arm, he exclaimed, "Do you want to murder me? You, a Level 4 warrior, are bullying a Level 2 warrior like this?"

"Who made you cultivate so fast," Feng Lingsnow pouted.

Seeing Feng Lingsnow's rare pouting face, Sun Yan was both amused and moved. The more he interacted with this stunning girl, the more he discovered her unknown sides.

"The reward from the [Zhengri Elimination Battle], if it's a cultivation technique or battle technique, you can't keep it all to yourself!"

Sun Yan patted his chest and promised repeatedly that if the reward was a cultivation technique or battle technique, he would call Chen Wang and Chang Cheng, and the four of them would study it together.

Taking advantage of the early time, the two discussed martial arts. Both were exceptionally talented, and when talking about cultivation techniques and battle techniques, they often hit the core and were incisive.

Just as they were discussing enthusiastically, Sun Yan and Feng Lingsnow's expressions changed simultaneously, and they both turned to look behind them. They saw Instructor Carter standing there, looking awkward.

Carter often appeared silently behind students, often scaring them half to death, and at the same time, highlighting his authority as a stern instructor.

As a Level 8 warrior, achieving this was easy for him.

Unexpectedly, today, he was detected by two students. Although these two were genius warriors, their senses were too acute.

Seeing both pairs of eyes on him, Carter felt a sense of defeat and helplessness. He cursed in his heart: I hate geniuses!

Sun Yan immediately stood up, "Good morning, Instructor!"

"Good morning, Instructor Carter!"

Feng Lingsnow also stood up, her demeanor exuding noble grace, leaving no room for criticism.

At this moment, Sun Yan noticed a change in Carter's clothing and was surprised, "Instructor Carter, have you been promoted to the head instructor of the C-class?"

Carter shook his head, rarely smiling, "I just received the notification. The official appointment will be next semester."

As he spoke, he looked at Sun Yan, increasingly satisfied with this student. If not for Sun Yan's outstanding performance in the final exams, he wouldn't be as glorious as he was now. Not only was he promoted to the head instructor of the C-class, but the instructors of the A and B classes were also constantly trying to build relationships with him. Carter felt elated thinking about the envy in their eyes.

Thinking of this, Carter's gaze became even softer, and he smiled, "Let's go, Sun Yan. Principal Wang Sen is waiting for you."

Following Carter, the three walked along the school's stone path, surrounded by trees. Sun Yan was filled with anticipation.

What would the reward left by Principal Zhang Zhengri be? A cultivation technique? A battle technique? Wealth? Or some other special reward?

With excitement, Sun Yan and the others arrived at the back of the school, where Vice Principal Wang Sen and the three head instructors of the A, B, and C classes were all standing.

"Good morning, Principal!"

"Good morning, Instructor Rodney!"

...

Sun Yan and Feng Lingsnow greeted each one, and the four responded warmly, their smiling eyes making Sun Yan shiver, feeling like he was a piece of meat.

Looking around, Sun Yan asked curiously, "Principal, why are we here?"

This was the back of the school, with only the college library and no other buildings. Sun Yan originally thought that the reward from Mr. Zhang Zhengri would be opened directly in the vice principal's office.

Wang Sen smiled and indicated, "Follow me. I'm also very curious about what Mr. Zhang Zhengri left as a reward. Being able to open the [Zhengri Elimination Battle] reward during my term, even the principal would envy me."

Turning, Wang Sen led everyone forward, heading straight for the college library at the front.

The library of Nan Ying Academy was located at the back of the school, nestled in a grove of trees. Walking on the forest path, looking up through the gaps in the trees, one could see the ancient building.

The library was one of the important buildings of the school. Sun Yan used to like coming here often, but the types of books he borrowed were quite limited, such as "Super Model Photo Collection," "Xiaolin's Romantic Life," "My Unforgettable Stories with Seven Women," and so on.

These types of books were hard for other students to find, and some didn't even know they existed, but they couldn't escape the "sharp eyes" of Sun Yan and Mu Tong, who found them all in hidden corners.

Looking at the library ahead, Sun Yan recalled the past and remembered something. He hadn't said goodbye to the library's kind and friendly old librarian, Mr. Huang.
