Chapter 127: The Morning Glow After the Battle

  The building complex surrounding No. 8 Square, inside one of the buildings.

  The image in the [Wan Hua Ling Mirror] gradually disappeared, and Lin Dan Master gently stroked the mirror surface, wiping away the water stains on it, and then put it into the universal backpack to store.

  Several girls beside her were stiff in their bodies, dull in expression, and trapped in a chaotic emotion, still not recovering from the battle just now.

  Including Shui Lian Qing, she was also slightly aghast, her face filled with incredulity. Although she had always known that Sun Yan was very formidable, however, the extent of the youth's abilities was still far beyond what she had expected.

  At this time, Luo Miao first came back to her senses and said softly: "Lin Dan Master, Sun Yan's junior brother has been boasting that he will fight Lin Bingxue senior sister again after a year. Isn't that too childish? Even if the two people's martial arts talents are similar, Lin Bingxue senior sister is still two years older than him."

  Master Lin Dan smiled slightly and said, "This duel is a decision made by Lin Bingxue and Sun Yan, why should we worry about it?"

  "But..." Luo Miao's small mouth pouted, somewhat disagreeing.

  Within the academy, it was common for fellow students to engage in martial arts competitions and sparring matches. However, a genius like Lin Bingxue who had reached such a high level of mastery would attract attention from all sides whenever she agreed to a duel with someone, so how could this be considered a personal matter?

  "Alright, you all must be tired too, hurry back and rest. Xian Qing, wait a moment." Coach Lin Dan instructed.

  Under the envious gaze of the other girls, Shui Lian Qing stayed behind alone, lowering her head and being very obedient.

  Lin Dan looked at Shui Qing, fondly stroking her hair, and smiled: "You're indeed my proud disciple, your vision is extraordinary. However, Qing, you must hold on tight, a young man like this will be sought after by many women in the future."

  Upon hearing the teacher's praise of Sun Yan, Shui Lianqing felt delighted in her heart and obediently said: "I understand, teacher."

  "This won't do." Lin Dan's mentor frowned and said, "Come, I'll teach you a few tricks to entice boys. That little brat will definitely be head over heels for you from now on."

  As he spoke, Lin Dan didn't care whether Shui Bingqing was listening or not, and just went on talking to himself.

  She had only spoken a few words, and Shui Lian Qing's face was already red with embarrassment. She had been raised in a very strict household and had always been extremely gentle by nature, so she had never heard such things before. Unable to bear it any longer, her face flushed with shame, she bid farewell and ran off without a trace.

  "Hehe, this little girl."

  Lin Dan's mentor lost his smile, shook his head and walked to the window. He leaned against the windowsill, gazing out at the distant sky which was faintly bright. He muttered: "The Four Spirits Seal Dragon Technique... I didn't think this kid could actually master this battle skill. Ah Zheng, did you see it from up there? Finally, a peerless genius has appeared to revive this technique."

  Lin Dan's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he suddenly remembered something. His eyebrows furrowed and he quickly opened the communicator, dialing a number. After connecting, he said in a condensed voice: "Is that Wei Lingdong?"

  "Huh? Professor Lin Dan, what's going on with finding a student?" came Wei Lingdong's voice from the other end of the communicator.

  Lin Dan's coach scolded with a smile: "You're so clever, don't you know why I'm looking for you? Still playing tricks on the teacher."

  Wei Lingdong hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "Professor Lin Dan's intention is to seal off tonight's events, isn't it? To what extent will they be sealed?"

  "This is about right." Lin Dan nodded, "With things having blown up so big, the 'Dragon Gate' trial event will definitely not be able to be covered up, this aspect doesn't need to be managed. However, this new student's duel with Bing Lian must be completely sealed off, give those students who were present a gag order. Feng Yan and Meng Dong Wang, those two little brats, were also present, just right, let the Disciplinary Squad and the Elite Department Student Union work together in coordination, must do it seamlessly."

  "Alright." Wei Lingdong responded with a single word, bid farewell respectfully, and immediately hung up the communication.

  ……

  The sky is slightly bright, and the heavy rain has stopped.

  Not far from the gate of Qianlong Temple, under a big tree, Lü Erban leaned against the tree, looking anxious and constantly asking Du Zhujiao beside him.

  "Teacher Du, it's been so long since Ah Yan hasn't come back, could something have happened to him? Do you want to go take a look?" Li Er asked repeatedly.

  Upon hearing this, Du Zhujiao sighed and shook his head, saying: "Li Er, don't worry, Sun Yan won't have any problems."

  Du's tone was very affirmative. In fact, he dared to say so because he had personally seen Sun Yan single-handedly fighting against more than 400 elite students of the Hidden Dragon Institute on Square No. 6. Seeing this scene, Du turned back and left. He knew clearly in his heart that such an abnormal student must be thinking of breaking through the Hidden Dragon Institute again and coming back, and as a teacher of the college, he was not suitable to stay there for long.

  Just then, the two saw a young figure emerging from the entrance of the Qianlong Temple. His clothes were tattered and worn out, his upper garment was torn to shreds, and the two legs of his pants were also broken open, but as he walked, he showed a few hints of elegance.

  Li Er struggled to get up and waved his hand: "A Yan, I'm over here."

  Seeing Lì èr and Dù Zhuō Jiào, Sūn Yán raised a smile and walked over, sizing up the bald young man from head to toe, patting Lì èr's shoulder and saying: "You're still quite spirited, I thought you'd be bedridden for two days!"

  Two consecutive slaps came down, and Lian Er couldn't help but grit his teeth and shout: "You little brat, how do you still have so much energy?"

  Sun smiled and looked at Du, saying: "Teacher Du, this 'Dragon Gate' trial should be considered passed, right? I exhausted all my strength to barely defeat 99 elite students from the Hidden Dragon Institute!"

  Bullshit! Do you think I'm blind? 99 elite students? I'm afraid it's not just 999.

  Du Zhujiao cursed in his heart, but could only nod helplessly. Although the school rules clearly stated that students were not allowed to engage in private fights in public areas, the reality was different. Sun Yan's fists had already severely damaged the Qianlong Institute, a clear violation of school rules. However, if the department found out, they would likely turn a blind eye.

  Such a top genius, if he is expelled from school because of such a small matter, other prestigious schools will probably rush over to grab him like flies smelling blood.

  Du Zhujiao opened the light brain, input records, and said in a serious tone: "Hmm, not bad, the trial is perfectly completed. Sun Yan, since you completed the 'Dragon Gate' trial, the rewards for this trial, including academic credits, gene source liquid, etc., will be distributed between you and Li Er in an 8:2 ratio."

  "Oh, and there's a credit reward?" Sun Yan's eyes lit up, saying: "Lui Er doesn't need credits anyway, so the credit rewards are all mine. The rest can be distributed as you like."

  Although he already had nearly a thousand credits, during his time at Imperial Wind Academy, Sun Yan was tormented by the pursuit of credits, unknowingly cultivating an almost instinctual craving for them.

  Besides, in Imperial Wind Academy, credits are equivalent to a kind of currency, who would complain about having too much money?

  After exchanging a few pleasantries with Du, Sun Yan helped Li Er up and the two of them walked along the slightly damp road towards Liuli Street.

  The sky gradually brightened, and the pedestrians on Luliu Street also increased.

  When Sun Wen helped Lai Er walk into a small restaurant, Lai Er had already fainted.

  Midnight continuous fighting, Lü Er had already exhausted his physical strength, and he kept himself awake to wait for Sun Yan's safe return. Now that the matter was over, his long-cherished wish was also fulfilled, and he could no longer hold on, fainting away.

  Sun Yan and Tie Sheng Uncle together, the two men helped Li Er up to the second floor, after treating his injuries, only then did they come down.

  Sitting in the chair in the hall, Tie Sheng uncle looked at Sun Yan with an inexplicable expression on his face and said: "A Yan, you helped Li Er complete the 'Dragon Gate' trial, and it was unscathed. I used to have some small doubts about you."

  "Huh?"

  Sun Yan looked at himself and suddenly found that all the wounds on his body had healed, without even a scar left behind. His skin was as white and tender as a baby's, with a captivating glow.

  After a moment's thought, Sun Yan inferred that this astonishing recovery power was probably related to the understanding of that one punch intention in the battle with Lin Bingxue.

  He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing much, just lucky, that's all."

  Having Half-Dragon Institute in a half-embarrassed state, if this matter spreads out, it's indeed very embarrassing. However, Sun Yan would absolutely never say it himself.

  Thinking of the battle at dawn, Sun Yan also felt a bit helpless. As the fight went on, his fighting spirit surged, and he couldn't hold back anymore. He just wanted to keep fighting all the way, to have an exhilarating battle with an evenly matched opponent, and incidentally test his own limits, where exactly they were.

  But even Sun Yan himself did not expect that after two and a half months of survival trials in Bai Yuexing, his strength would suddenly soar to this extent. The vast Pinyin Academy actually had no one who could be his match, and if Lin Bingxue hadn't arrived just in time, it was entirely possible that he would have fought his way through the entire academy.

  Thinking of his duel with Lin Bingxue a year later, Sun Yan couldn't help but glance at the severed lock of hair wrapped around his right thumb.

  This strand of hair got tangled around her thumb and couldn't be removed, perhaps just as Bellon said, Lin Bingxue's "Great Star Luo Tian" was incredibly mysterious, and her hair might have an unimaginable magical place.

  At this time, Uncle Tie Sheng also noticed the broken hair on Sun Yan's finger and exclaimed: "Wow, what a beautiful ring! Ah Yan, is it that little sister Shui Lian Qing who gave it to you?"

  "Hmm..." Sun Yan was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said: "Uncle Tie Sheng, you're a man, you should understand! I was also forced to wear it."

  "Hahaha......" Iron Spoon Uncle was also laughing uncontrollably, patting Sun Yan's shoulder and saying: "The most difficult thing to dispel is the beauty of a woman's favor, I understand!" But between his words, there was a hint of something else.

  Gulu gulu......

  A loud and intense growling sound came from Sun Yan's abdomen, he couldn't help but cover his stomach, looking worried and said: "Uncle Tie Sheng, I've been working hard all night, can you reward me with a bowl of noodles?"

  "Alright, you wait a moment." Iron Ladle Uncle replied readily and turned around to dash into the kitchen.

  In the hall, Sun Yan sat alone, staring at the broken hair on his thumb, and Lin Bingxue's exceptionally beautiful face appeared in his mind. He thought of the duel a year later and muttered to himself: "No wonder, this ring is really hard to get rid of!"

  Ding!

  At this time, a bell rang out and the shop door was pushed open.

  Outside the shop, an elderly man stood wearing a black suit and silver short hair, looking spirited. After pushing open the door, he stood sideways, with a stretched hover sedan parked not far away on the side of the street.

  Upon seeing this, Sun Yan couldn't help but feel overjoyed and turned his head to shout towards the kitchen: "Uncle Tie Sheng, we have a guest arriving, what great luck!"

  It's no wonder Sun Yan is so delighted. Since knowing Iron Spoon Uncle, except for Sun Yan and a few who came to cheat and eat, the total number of customers in the restaurant did not exceed 5. Now, there are customers coming in early in the morning, it's really a good start.

  In the kitchen, Iron Ladle's laughter rang out: "Oh, that's great, what a wonderful start!"

  Clap Clap Clap...

  A crisp knocking sound came from outside the door, Sun Yan involuntarily turned his head to look over, and in the next second, his eyes widened instantly, his upper body straightened up, his mouth corners twitching slightly, and a wild howl in his heart: "Grandma's bear, is today really my lucky day? Can I just run into such a girl?"

  Outside the store, a girl came walking, she was wearing the same black suit as the old man, and her white leather shoes made a crisp sound on the ground.

  The girl had a shoulder-length black hair that fell down casually, as soft as swan's down. Her bright eyes were good-looking and her eye waves flowed with a hint of charm.
