37: Zhan Jiang Xin (Happy New Year)

After their chat, the two put on their protective gear.

The fourth stage is a threshold; after the fourth stage, the quality of Star Power will undergo a qualitative leap, similar to the difference between gas and liquid.

Lin Ye didn't dare to be careless, but he was still very confident. After training with his Martial Ancestor, although it was only for a short month and most of the time was spent training his six senses.

However, his other skills had still greatly improved, and his most beloved Ruyi Strength had even reached the minor accomplishment stage.

The two bowed to each other, as they were fellow disciples.

"Be careful, Junior Brother," Jiang Xin reminded him.

Lin Ye felt a Vacuum Wave approaching.

With his enhanced six senses, he could barely perceive the formless and invisible Vacuum Wave.

He dodged with an Inch Step, his left foot lightly tapping the ground, and a Ruyi Strength stealthily attacked.

Jiang Xin had naturally also cultivated her six senses. Her brows furrowed, and she quickly moved away, then a burst of Force Emission erupted, forming a large net.

"Good heavens, this boy's Ruyi Strength is so proficient." Jiang Xin was a bit startled; this must be minor accomplishment Ruyi Strength.

She hadn't even achieved minor accomplishment in a golden-tier skill.

She became wary, wondering if she would suffer an unexpected defeat.

Lin Ye, the sunny boy, expressed regret. "Too bad, if this wasn't a Martial Artist with Mind Stream, it would have hit."

Jiang Xin didn't want him to continue using Ruyi Strength. She quickly closed in, unleashing Force Emission and a Cannon Fist.

An identical Cannon Fist was unleashed.

Bang~.

Both retreated simultaneously.

Is this the fourth stage?

How is this kid's physical body so strong?

They were mutually wary.

Lin Ye didn't plan to hide anymore. He activated Muscle Master, and his body instantly expanded by a circle.

Muscle Master? Jiang Xin was startled, thinking, "Am I really going to lose?"

Force Emission ~ Vacuum Wave.

Jiang Xin hastily dodged, but then a burst of Force Emission suddenly entangled her leg.

Not good, the thought flashed, and she was already facing Lin Ye's full-power Cannon Fist.

She blocked with both arms, a layer of black light appearing on them—it was Star Force Body Armor.

The full-power Cannon Fist shattered the protective Force Emission, but it quickly reappeared.

This kid, Jiang Xin felt her forearms go numb.

She delivered a kick upwards, her leg enveloped in black light.

Lin Ye sensed the danger of this kick and quickly dodged.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xin pressed her advantage, launching continuous strikes with both palms, unleashing Force Emission ~ Sky Breaking Palm.

Lin Ye, relying on his keen perception and Inch Step, dodged most of them.

But Jiang Xin knew she couldn't win in close combat, so she disregarded martial ethics and began a continuous barrage of ranged attacks. Lin Ye endured a few hits and returned two Vacuum Waves. Jiang Xin didn't dodge; without the physical body's enhancement, the Vacuum Wave, which was purely a Star Power attack, could only barely cause cracks in Jiang Xin's protective Force Emission.

Lin Ye knew he couldn't let this continue.

He fully circulated his Star Force, black Force Emission appearing on his body. A Ruyi Strength quietly cleared a path, and then he charged forward.

Jiang Xin naturally paid close attention to Lin Ye's Ruyi Strength. She stopped her Sky Breaking Palm and dodged.

This also gave Lin Ye an opportunity. He unleashed Force Emission ~ Breaking Void Fist.

The protective Force Emission on Jiang Xin's body was once again shattered, and the extremely penetrating Breaking Void Fist also injured her internal organs.

"Pfft~"

She couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone below the stage was dumbfounded. Jiang Xin was made to vomit blood by her junior brother?

Jiang Xin felt like her reputation was ruined.

She no longer held back. She unleashed her full Star Force, and a terrifying wave of energy exploded.

Lin Ye was pushed back by the energy wave. When he stabilized himself, he found that Jiang Xin had already transformed into a black giant bird.

"Jiang Xin is actually getting serious!"

"This must be Jiang Xin's ultimate move, Azure Bird."

"This kid is simply outrageous, forcing Jiang Xin to use her full power!"

Lin Ye took a deep breath. "Alright, it's time to test my durability again."

This was clearly a skill at the peak of the golden tier. Although Jiang Xin's proficiency seemed low, it could still deliver a fatal blow by consuming a large amount of Star Power.

The black giant bird instantly detached from her body, and Jiang Xin's face was already pale.

Lin Ye roared, fully activating his ability. All his Star Power frantically gathered in his right fist, unleashing Force Emission ~ Cannon Fist.

Bang~

A violent collision aftershock occurred on the arena.

A black storm instantly obscured everyone's vision.

Jiang Xin suddenly regretted it. She seemed to have gotten too serious. What if she injured her junior brother?

The protective gear had a protection mechanism; fatal attacks would be defended against, and then a disqualification would be declared.

Although Lin Ye wouldn't be in danger, it wasn't good to injure him. His master had told her to take care of him.

Suddenly, she was trapped by a large net of Force Emission.

Jiang Xin was a bit bewildered.

The black storm dissipated, and Lin Ye's figure appeared. He wiped away a trace of blood, a smile on his lips: "Senior Sister, I won."

Jiang Xin froze.

"You won." Her reply was a bit bitter, but she truly couldn't break free in her current state.

"Jiang Xin lost? Are you kidding me?"

"That kid's large net of Force Emission must be a minor accomplishment Ruyi Strength, right? And his other skills are all golden-tier. Since when can a third-stage Martial Artist cultivate golden-tier skills so casually?"

"Wuwu, my Xinxin." Without a doubt, it was the simp Yang Feifei.

Lin Ye smiled, having gained an understanding of his own strength.

Jiang Xin should be a seasoned fourth-stage Martial Artist, with high proficiency in various golden-tier skills, not weaker than his own proficiency, yet she was still counter-killed by him.

Jiang Xin looked at the smiling Lin Ye. The young man wasn't handsome, but the light of his confidence was exceptionally dazzling.

"Junior Brother, aren't you going to release me?"

Jiang Xin turned her head away.

Lin Ye happily went up to retract the Ruyi Strength.

"Junior Brother, you really hide your strength well. No wonder you agreed so readily to spar." Jiang Xin stretched her body, speaking with a hint of resentment. She had lost face in front of everyone today.

"Just lucky, just lucky." Lin Ye rubbed his nose.

"Sister Xin lost, what do you say? Introduce this little brother." A beautiful young woman rushed up, hugging Jiang Xin's arm, her eyes shining as she looked at Lin Ye. "A potential stock, gotta make a move early."

Jiang Xin pushed her away. "Go away, Lu Jiaqi, you little hussy, go harm other men. This is my Junior Brother."

Lu Jiaqi was displeased. "You wouldn't be trying to hog him, would you, Sister Xin? Is our nine-year sisterhood not as good as a stinky junior brother?"

Saying that, she winked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye only felt a little scared, sensing that this woman was not a proper woman.

Lu Jiaqi rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, a wink wasted on a blind man."

Jiang Xin covered her mouth and chuckled, pushing Lu Jiaqi away. "Alright, you go on. I'll show Junior Brother around."

Jiang Xin led Lin Ye away. Many people along the way teased her, making her, a usual prominent figure, unable to bear it.

She quickened her steps.

Leaving the crowd, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother, how are you so strong? Was that Muscle Master just now? And your proficiency isn't low." Jiang Xin said with certainty.

Lin Ye didn't intend to hide it and nodded.

Jiang Xin sighed. So it was true. However, she lacked the experience to know what level of proficiency Muscle Master was, but she assumed it was no lower than minor accomplishment. What terrifying talent.

Jiang Xin took Lin Ye to the infirmary for a quick check-up. The infirmary was very close to the arena area.

Then, the two had a meal together and familiarized themselves with the campus before Jiang Xin finally brought him to the dorms.

Lin Ye looked at the villa in front of him, a bit stunned. So, what his Third Martial Uncle referred to as dorms was this?

Living in a detached villa in Jingda, where land was extremely expensive, was ridiculous.

His Martial Ancestor and Martial Uncles all lived in this villa, and his Senior Sister Jiang Xin did too.

The villa was very large. Currently, including him, there were six people living there. The other two seemed to be Fourth Martial Aunt and Third Martial Uncle's wife.

"How is it, Junior Brother?"
