Chapter 21: My Brother is So Powerful Yet Overly Cautious

  Transtor: Krukist

  After listening to Lin Ling’er’s expnation, Lin Yu finally uood that the foundational Body F Teiques on the Heavenly Sun ti were essentially the same, with each faaking slight adjustments. For example, the Body F Manual Lin Ling’er had transcribed was a modified version used by Heavenly Cloud Academy.

  It was more suitable for young cultivators and had removed some methods that could easily lead to injuries.

  This version of the manual was also known as the Heavenly Cloud Body F Art, signifying its in from the academy.

  Lin Yu hesitated. “Ling’er, if your academy finds out you’ve secretly transcribed their manual for me, won’t you get in trouble?”

  Lin Ling’er was momentarily stunned. She knew how passionate Lin Yu was about cultivation, but even with the manual right in front of him, his first was her well-being. Her ingled with emotion, and she couldn’t help but recall yesterday’s specution: Did my brive up his beloved ary arts to fulfill our father’s wishes and pursue medie instead?

  Tears welled up in her eyes. She turned her head away, not wanting Lin Yu to see her sadness, and forced a smile. “Don’t worry. This manual isn’t a secret. Every major family in Heavenly Cloud City has a copy.”

  “It’s on knowledge at the academy too. It’s just a basiual—no one cares about it. The Body F Institute instructors out dozens of modified versions every day.”

  Lin Yu uzzled. Why had her mood shifted so suddenly? Had he said something wrong? Well, girls’ thoughts were always hard to decipher. Still, he felt reassured.

  He quickly finished his bowl of millet pe. Seeing that it was still early, he opehe Body F Manual. Suddenly, the puter in his mind activated on its own, and a square box appeared on the s:

  Detected Object: Heavenly Cloud Body F Art

  Attribute: Basic Body F Teiqu

  e

  Permission: Downloadable

  A familiar 30-sed tdown followed: “Download Heavenly Cloud Body F Art?”

  “Is this… a software downloader?” Lin Yu’s heart raced. An absurd idea struck him. Could I learn teiques like downloading software? If I spend energy, I master this teique instantly?

  It seemed highly likely. Lin Yu felt as if he’d stumbled upon a golden path to cultivation. If the Heavenly Cloud Body F Art could be learhis way, what about other teiques? His repaired Seven Meridians a Vessels currently only supported body f, but with enough Spirit Stones or Spirit Beasts, he could fully restore them.

  Ohat happened, if he downloaded a Are Spell manual, would he instantly bee an Are Martialist? The thought seemed ludicrous. Even someone as talented as Lin Ling’er had to endure years of grueling training to bee an Are Martialist.

  But if his theory was correct, the puter in his mind was the ultimate cheat in this mystical world!

  Lin Yu quickly calmed himself. No matter how miraculous the puter was, without suffit energy, it was useless. After some thought, he clicked “Yes.” The s ged, and a progress bar appeared:

  Downloading Heavenly Cloud Body F Art: 0%

  A stream of information flooded Lin Yu’s mind. He realized he could trol the dorogress. The puter seemed to have upgraded, granting him trol over energy allocation. Although the download had started, he could keep it at 0% if he chose not to spend energy.

  Currently, Lin Yu had 30 energy points—equivalent to 300 Spirit Stones.

  “Let’s allocate 15 energy points to the download,” Lin Yu decided. The progress bar jumped to 5%, and his body was immediately wracked with soreness. Yet, a cooliion emerged from deep within his muscles, soothing the pain.

  “Brother, what’s happening…?”

  Lin Liared in shock. She had just handed Lin Yu the manual, and he hadn’t even read it—well, maybe a gnce or two. Yet, his body was already excreting impurities, just like yesterday.

  Could my brother be the on-a-geion genius the instructors always talked about? Lin Ling’er quickly closed the doors and windows. Despite the foul odor emanating from Lin Yu, she refused to leave.

  She knew how crucial the first step of body f was. Not only did she o prevent interruptions, but she also had to protect Lin Yu during the process.

  However, ohing puzzled her: How had Lin Yu taken the first step without even finishing the manual? Her imaginative mind quickly jured an expnation: Brother must have another master!

  “That makes sense. While I was attending Heavenly Cloud Academy, Brother must have trained under someoo develop such exceptional ary skills. And this master must have reized his talent for body f, giving him a different manual!”

  “But my brother, despite his immealent, is overly cautious. That’s why he asked to see our academy’s Heavenly Cloud Body F Art—to pare it with the one he was given! How meticulous! Truly worthy of being my elder brother!”

  Lin Ling’er’s heart swelled with admiration. Her petite frame trembled with excitement as she gazed at Lin Yu with fervent respect—she had pletely bee his devoted fan.

  “If Brother is this capable, he must have anticipated today’s ary duel with Situ Deng. However, given Situ Deng’s background, there’s bound to be interference. I o find a way to help Brother!”

  After some thought, Lin Ling’er pulled out a yellowed letter from her sleeve. It seemed ordinary, but it was a gift from her mentor, meant to protect her in times of danger. She i with Spiritual Energy, and the letter emitted a faint glow…
