156: Affection

The train arrived at the Kyoto Station.

The speed of the Strongest Train was very fast.

It just took a little time to process Alice and Rui Jin's paperwork.

After getting off the train, Fish Brother was already waiting.

"Lin Ye," Fish Brother waved to Lin Ye in surprise.

"Fish Brother," Lin Ye rushed up and hugged Fish Brother enthusiastically.

"You brat, I was startled when I heard you broke through to Star Level," Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Lin Ye with relief.

"I got lucky; I gained too many good things in the Star Realm," Lin Ye said.

"Fish Brother, let me introduce you. This is your grand-disciple, Alice, the princess of the Elf Race, and Rui Jin, the prince of the Dwarf Race," Lin Ye introduced.

Jiang Xiaoyu had already seen the two of them and knew they had come with Lin Ye, and he was curious about their relationship with Lin Ye.

He didn't expect one to be an Elf Race princess and the other a Dwarf Race prince, yet both had become Lin Ye's disciples.

"Grand-master."

"Grand-master."

The two bowed respectfully.

"You brat, you actually took on such good disciples," Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled.

Jiang Xiaoyu drove his hovercar, taking the three of them to Kyoto University.

Along the way, he caringly inquired about the situation of his two grand-disciples.

Upon arriving at Kyoto University, it was dismissal time, and people were coming and going.

Ability user students naturally followed their instructors everywhere.

But besides ability users, there were also many who pursued cultural studies.

And ever since Yang Hongyu decided to vigorously develop rune technology, he had launched many related majors in various universities.

The number of enrollments was huge, with the first batch accounting for ten percent of the ability users.

They did not study with instructors but learned relevant knowledge in university classrooms and laboratories.

The Grand-master knew Lin Ye was coming and had finished his research early.

"Lin Ye," after a few years, the Grand-master was still as robust as ever.

"Grand-master," Lin Ye replied enthusiastically.

Naturally, he introduced Alice and Rui Jin during their conversation.

In the Grand-master's residence, the Third Martial Uncle and Fourth Martial Aunt still lived there.

His Senior Sister had already graduated and gone to develop her own company.

He had never seen his other Martial Uncles anyway.

Everyone had a lively meal together, then stayed to chat happily.

"Are you planning to travel and study to create cultivation techniques this time?" The Grand-master was not surprised.

The Mind Stream lineage had also been prominent; his master was a Star Level, so he had heard about these things.

"That's right, so I want to ask Grand-master about the information on various Martial Artist factions and their cultivation techniques."

In fact, the national database contained the cultivation techniques of various Martial Artist schools, and one could obtain them by paying a certain price. Each school was also happy for a Star Level Martial Artist to use their techniques for reference.

It was just that the information obtained that way was too one-sided.

The situation after cultivating the techniques.

The characteristics of each school.

These were difficult to acquire without observing them one by one in reality.

The Grand-master introduced each school one by one, along with their information.

Lin Ye stayed at the Grand-master's place for a few more days.

He knew that perhaps it would be difficult to meet Fish Brother and the Grand-master again in the future.

As his level became higher, he would also become busier.

Before leaving, he left two hundred star stones.

A fledgling eagle, once grown, will eventually feed its parents.

He hoped his elders could break through to Star Level and extend their lifespan, and with a star core mine, these were just a drop in the bucket for him.

"Don't look anymore, let's go."

A beautiful and moving figure stood in the distance.

It was his Senior Sister, Jiang Xin.

"Knowing that lovesickness is useless, yet it's no harm to be melancholic and infatuated." Jiang Xin was saddened.

To meet again was already at an unreachable mountain peak, impossible to climb in this life.

.......

Lin Ye naturally knew his Senior Sister.

His heart was very complicated. Towards his Senior Sister, he didn't have that kind of feeling; there was only the affection between a Senior Sister and a Junior Brother, not the feelings between a man and a woman.

Who can clearly see matters of the heart?

So he pretended not to see, to avoid awkwardness for both sides.

"Master, someone is secretly looking at you. Who is she?" Alice asked curiously.

Elves pursue art and have deep research into the way of emotions; she naturally understood.

"That's your Martial Aunt," Lin Ye didn't explain too much.

He returned to Ye Hai City to visit the orphanage and his alma mater.

He made a donation, considering it a way to give back to his hometown.

Falling leaves return to their roots; every wanderer always has a special feeling for the place where they grew up.

Because Lin Ye came from Ye Hai City, the government vigorously developed it for a time, and the orphanage and school where Lin Ye was located received great development.

His fans had donated quite a bit.

.......

After this journey, Lin Ye's state of mind also grew significantly.

Everyone's progress is always supported by a force, and what supported Lin Ye's progress was his love for the Martial Arts and these sentiments.

Lin Ye stood on the road, the breeze gently blowing through his hair.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged, his hands resting lightly on his knees. He began to recall his past experiences, those moments of battles, setbacks, and growth.

The starry sky seemed even more dazzling.

Alice and Rui Jin knew that Lin Ye was in a critical state at this moment and silently guarded him.

The starlight suddenly intensified, illuminating the night like day.

Around Lin Ye, countless stars shone, seemingly echoing the billions of stars.

"Star Transformation," Lin Ye opened his eyes and slowly uttered three words.

An unexpected joy, truly searching high and low for something only to find it effortlessly.

Although he had just set off on his study tour.

Is it fate?

Lin Ye faintly felt that this usually seemingly useless thing of his had played a role.

The right time, the right place, and the right people forged this enlightenment.

However, the study tour still had to continue; for now, Star Transformation was not yet complete, only a rough outline.

"Congratulations, Teacher," the two disciples congratulated him.

"Let's go, Teacher will take you sightseeing," Lin Ye, in high spirits, was ready to visit those schools thoroughly.

From then on, Lin Ye embarked on a year-long study tour.

One-strike style, combo style, Turtle style, Crane style........

The more he saw, the more Lin Ye felt the importance of drawing on strengths from all sources.

Every school had its strengths and unique characteristics; these wonderful ideas were the insights of countless Martial Artist predecessors.

Martial Artists were established very early, not long after the era of abilities began.

Initially, it was just an ordinary profession, and then people continuously integrated the concept of Chinese Kung Fu into Martial Artists, which led to the strength of Martial Artists.

Unfortunately, the human race's life-and-death struggle caused the pillars of most schools to die on the battlefield.

Currently, there are not many schools with Star Level practitioners, only three, including Lin Ye himself.

Let alone Star Level, even Ninth Level practitioners were few.

Martial Artists suffered too severe a generational gap due to that great war.

Coupled with the emergence of powerful, instantly effective professions, it led to the complete decline of Martial Artists.

Fortunately, although the strength had a gap, the inheritance was still there, and the Chinese database stored a large amount of data.
