17: Chapter 17: Propose to School Beauty Lin Qianxi when she comes of age

Three hours later, the door to the Gravity Chamber opened.

Su Yingxue walked out.

Her temperament had undergone a subtle change.

Originally cold and gentle, she now possessed an added sharpness characteristic of a Martial Artist.

Her body was filled with blood-qi, and there were faint fluctuations of energy.

"Test it," Wen Yan said.

Su Yingxue walked to the punch strength testing machine, gathered her strength, and struck out with her palm.

11236.47 kg

Over eleven thousand kilograms!

She had also reached the Middle Stage of the First Order!

"Congratulations," Wen Yan smiled.

"It seems your Martial Arts Talent is indeed quite good. To have such progress during pregnancy is truly rare."

Su Yingxue was so happy she couldn't speak; she only looked at Lin Yun, the love in her eyes nearly overflowing.

Lin Yun stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace: "My wife is the best."

Watching this loving couple, Wen Yan shook her head and turned to leave.

She didn't want to be fed this dog food.

"Sister Wen Yan," Lin Yun called out to her, "thank you."

Wen Yan paused: "Thank me for what?"

Lin Yun said earnestly: "Thank you for your guidance."

"If it weren't for you, Yingxue and I wouldn't have improved so quickly."

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, then said with her back to him: "I am paid to do a job, it is expected."

After speaking, she quickly left the Training Room.

Returning to her room, Wen Yan closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long breath.

This kid... is improving too fast.

Fifteen days ago, his punch strength was over six thousand kilograms; ten days later, it was nearly seven thousand kilograms.

Now, it has directly reached thirteen thousand kilograms.

Although most of his cultivation was boosted by Medicinal Pills, costing countless sums of money.

But money is also an important part of the Dao of martial arts, sometimes even surpassing one's own Martial Arts Talent.

Cultivation gained from Medicinal Pills is still cultivation!

Isn't she protecting the Lin family just to buy various resources for her own Cultivation?

Wen Yan walked to the window, looking at the lights flickering on in the manor, her mind filled with thoughts.

The stronger Lin Yun's strength became, the more likely her initial joke, "Wait until you defeat me, and I will marry you," would become reality.

And what annoyed her even more was that she found she seemed... not to resist this possibility.

"What is wrong with me?"

Wen Yan asked herself softly, but no one could give her the answer.

In the Training Room, Lin Yun and Su Yingxue did not leave immediately.

"Husband, I feel like the baby moved a little today."

Su Yingxue suddenly said, her hand resting gently on her lower abdomen.

Lin Yun's eyes lit up: "Really? Let me listen."

He bent down and pressed his ear against Su Yingxue's abdomen.

Although he couldn't hear anything yet, he could feel the aura of life coming from there.

"Baby, you must be good, don't make Mommy work too hard."

Su Yingxue gently stroked his hair:

"Husband, do you think the baby will inherit our Martial Arts Talent?"

"Definitely."

"We are both Martial Artists, and our blood-qi is powerful. The baby is nourished by our blood-qi while in the womb, so their talent will definitely not be bad."

A look of anticipation flashed in Su Yingxue's eyes:

"Then in the future, we will teach the baby the Dao of martial arts..."

"Mm, we will teach together."

Lin Yun held her hand tightly.

The reason Su Yingxue asked this was her subconscious worry that their offspring would experience regression to the mean.

Regression to the mean, Lin Yun was familiar with that.

In his hometown before his Transmigration, if both husband and wife were top students from Tsinghua or Peking University, it was very difficult for their offspring to be like their parents and also get into Tsinghua or Peking University.

Some even couldn't get into a regular undergraduate program and could only attend a vocational college.

This is regression to the mean.

It is impossible for offspring to be one hundred percent stronger than their parents.

Just like human height, even if tall people marry each other, breed offspring, and select the best among the best, one has never seen anyone grow into a giant.

The two packed up their things and left the Training Room holding hands.

At dinner, when Grandfather Lin Zhentian heard that both of them had reached the Middle Stage of the First Order, he was so happy he ate an extra bowl of rice.

The old man was full of energy every day now, just waiting for his great-grandchild to be born.

The night was deep, in the bridal chamber.

The hot, intense scent had not yet dissipated.

Lin Yun gently held Su Yingxue, his palm stroking her lower abdomen.

"Yingxue, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"

This time, it was his turn to ask.

Su Yingxue nuzzled into his arms, finding a more comfortable position:

"Both are fine. As long as it is our child, I will like it."

Lin Yun kissed her forehead: "Me too."

Moonlight spilled in through the curtains, gently enveloping the two.

The world quieted down, leaving only each other's breathing and heartbeats.

But for Lin Yun, this was just the beginning.

The Middle Stage of the First Order is far from enough in this world.

To truly protect this home, and to realize the "bold words" of marrying Wen Yan, he must become stronger.

Second Order, Third Order... or even higher.

Lin Yun thought to himself:

"System."

"View current status."

【Host: Lin Yun】

【Special Physique: Fertility Holy Body (Activation progress 1%)】

【Cultivation: Middle Stage of the First Order Martial Artist】

【Martial Arts Talent: Yellow Grade Medium Grade】

【blood-qi value: approx. 13000kg punch strength】

【Cultivation Technique: "Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method" (Yellow Grade Top Grade)】

【Combat Technique: "Stone-Splitting Fist" (Yellow Grade Medium Grade), "Phantom Steps" (Yellow Grade Low Grade)】

【Spouse: Su Yingxue (Pregnant)】

Looking at the System panel, a surge of ambition rose in Lin Yun's heart.

Yellow Grade Medium Grade talent, Middle Stage of the First Order cultivation; this was already considered decent strength in Jiang City.

But it was not enough, far from enough.

He must continue to work hard and continue to become stronger.

...

Time passed slowly just like that.

Without taking Medicinal Pills and relying solely on hard work, the speed of Lin Yun's cultivation improvement slowed down significantly.

Every day in the Gravity Chamber, he sweated profusely, but the growth of his punch strength was minimal, sometimes even showing no obvious progress for several consecutive days.

The improvement of his Combat Technique proficiency was also average.

"Stone-Splitting Fist" was stuck at the Bottleneck between "Entry Level" and "Minor Achievement".

Although he clearly felt he was just one step away from a Breakthrough, he just couldn't cross it.

This is the limitation of talent.

Yellow Grade Medium Grade talent is considered decent in Jiang City, but looking at the entire martial arts world, it can only be considered the lowest of the low.

Without the assistance of Medicinal Pills, relying only on hard work, the speed of progress is indeed limited.

Lin Yun was not discouraged, but rather looked forward to Lin Qianxi coming of age even more.

Since their chance encounter by the river, that little girl communicated with Lin Yun more frequently on her phone.

Sometimes sharing her life, sometimes asking about martial arts questions, she found various excuses every week to talk to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was not stupid; he could naturally see the affection Lin Qianxi had for him.

"It seems this little girl has always had a crush on me." Lin Yun chuckled inwardly.

Next year, Lin Qianxi would come of age; when he went to propose marriage then, it would absolutely be a one hundred percent success.

Her beauty score was 94, her Martial Arts Talent was Yellow Grade Medium Grade, and the System's comprehensive rating reached Yellow Grade Top Grade.

If he married her, his own Martial Arts Talent would definitely be able to increase to Yellow Grade High Grade.

By then, his Cultivation speed would be able to increase by another notch.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun had even more motivation to train.
