179: Chapter 179 The Trial Begins

She looked at Wu Qingya: "Qingya, how many times gravity can you withstand now?"

Wu Qingya thought for a moment: "I am currently at First-Stage Perfection. If I weren't pregnant, I could reach forty or fifty times at most. But since getting pregnant, it hasn't exceeded five times."

Li Xiaoping was filled with envy; her roommate had truly married into a wealthy family. In two years, she had actually reached First-Stage Perfection.

Suppressing the envy in her heart, she nodded and said:

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"That is why the school specifically opened this elective course, allowing Martial Artists to normally Cultivate in high-gravity environments."

"At the same time, it also teaches pregnant Martial Artists how to regulate their Qi and blood and nourish the fetus during pregnancy."

Everyone listened intently.

Lin Yun sighed inwardly.

He truly hadn't thought about this issue before.

There was actually such a course in the Martial Arts University?

But thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable.

With over a hundred thousand students and a maximum study period of thirty-two years, marriage and pregnancy were completely normal.

If one couldn't Cultivate during pregnancy, that time would be wasted in vain.

The school opening such a course could both help students Cultivate normally and ensure the health of the fetus; it was killing two birds with one stone.

Su Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Wu Qingya's hand:

"Qingya! This course is great! Let's go together!"

Shen Youqing also nodded: "Yes, let's go together. Anyway, we are all pregnant, so it's a good time to learn how to regulate."

Lin Qianxi, Zhao Qingyue, and Chen Yuwei also chimed in one after another.

Wu Qingya looked at Li Xiaoping with a smile: "Xiaoping, thank you for the reminder. We will definitely go to this course."

Li Xiaoping waved her hand: "Why be so polite? We are good sisters."

After bidding farewell to Li Xiaoping, the group continued to walk back.

Su Yingxue linked arms with Wu Qingya, excitedly discussing that elective course:

"Qingya, when do you think we should go? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"

Wu Qingya thought for a moment: "Husband has to participate in the Imperial Star test tomorrow; let's wait until the results are out."

Su Yingxue nodded: "That's true. Then after Husband finishes the test, we'll go together!"

She turned to look at Qiao Shiyu and the other two, asking with a smile:

"Shiyu, Lulu, Feifei, you guys should come along too."

Qiao Shiyu blushed and gave a soft "Mm."

Bai Lulu's cheeks also flushed slightly; she turned her head away, pretending to be calm, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her.

In the end, she also nodded gently.

Qiao Feifei was hiding in the back, also nodding, her voice as soft as a mosquito:

"O-okay~"

Su Yingxue smiled even more happily.

These three little girls were becoming more and more like "one of our own."

...

The next day, early morning.

Virtual Training Building.

In a spacious room, an all-silver Advanced virtual pod sat quietly in the center.

The body of the pod was flowing with a faint energy light, appearing exceptionally precise and solemn.

The room was full of people standing around.

The six of them, including Su Yingxue, surrounded Lin Yun, their gazes fixed on the virtual pod, filled with both anticipation and nervousness.

Qiao Shiyu, Bai Lulu, and Qiao Feifei stood to the side.

Qiao Shiyu was uncharacteristically quiet, her small hand tightly gripping Qiao Feifei's.

The three teachers, Teacher Zhou Qi, Luo Xiangdong, and Teacher Ding Wu, also arrived.

Shen Qingqiu stood tall, her gaze calm.

Principal Yang Qi stood with his hands behind his back, his beard and hair fluttering.

Beside Su Yingxue, a figure stood quietly.

Wen Yan.

The former guardian of the Lin family, the woman who had been waiting for Lin Yun to defeat her.

She had come today, for the first time ever.

Su Yingxue looked at her, her heart blooming with joy.

Yesterday, Sister Wen Yan had still stubbornly said, "It's just a test, what's there to watch?"

But when today actually arrived, Sister Wen Yan was ultimately unable to stop worrying about Husband and followed along.

Wen Yan noticed her gaze and turned her head away, pretending not to care:

"I'm just here to see if this kid can pass the test; don't let him embarrass the Lin family."

Su Yingxue smiled even more happily inside; she was truly a tsundere little woman.

Eight-thirty sharp.

The massive pure white wall directly in front of the room suddenly lit up!

Soft light spread, eventually condensing into a line of clear, large characters:

[Imperial Star test received]

Teacher Ding Wu walked quickly to the console by the wall, his fingers operating rapidly on the virtual light screen:

"Principal, Director, the Imperial Star test has been received and is currently syncing to the virtual pod."

Principal Yang Qi nodded slightly: "Sync."

Light flowed, and the data stream accelerated.

Ten minutes later.

[Sync complete]

Teacher Ding Wu turned to look at Lin Yun: "It's ready."

Lin Yun's gaze swept over every face in the room.

Su Yingxue's eyes were slightly red, but she tried hard to smile.

Shen Youqing looked at him gently and nodded slightly.

Wu Qingya, Lin Qianxi, Zhao Qingyue, and Chen Yuwei were filled with support and encouragement in their eyes.

Qiao Shiyu clenched her small fists and mouthed: "Brother Lin Yun, fighting!"

Bai Lulu nodded slightly, her eyes filled with trust.

Qiao Feifei's little face was flushed, but she was also nodding vigorously.

Wen Yan met his gaze and nodded slightly.

Principal Yang Qi smiled and patted his shoulder: "Go, don't embarrass our Tianshui Martial Arts University."

Shen Qingqiu said calmly: "Believe in yourself."

Lin Yun nodded solemnly and turned to walk toward the virtual pod.

The pod door opened slowly, and he lay inside.

The door closed.

[Consciousness linking...]

This scan was exceptionally long.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Finally.

[Consciousness connection successful!]

[Welcome to the Imperial Star virtual world, test subject Lin Yun confirmed.]

[Test Rank: A+]

[The test will begin in thirty seconds, please be prepared.]

Lin Yun opened his eyes and found himself standing in a pure white space.

In front of him, a huge countdown number was jumping:

30... 29... 28...

He adjusted his breathing, letting his body and mind enter their best state.

Thirty seconds passed in a flash.

[Test begins!]

The pure white space instantly collapsed, turning into a dense primeval forest!

Towering trees blocked out the sky and sun, thick vines intertwined among them, and the air was filled with a damp and primitive scent.

Before Lin Yun could see the surrounding environment clearly.

"Yo...!!!"

A clear deer cry suddenly rang out!

Immediately after, countless pale golden figures rushed out from the depths of the forest!

Ming Deer!

A full twenty Ming Deer of Second-Stage Perfection were charging from a hundred meters away, running while raising their heads and crying!

Sonic attacks descended instantly!

That familiar, Soul-piercing shriek was like countless fine needles, fiercely stabbing into Lin Yun's mind!

But Lin Yun was no longer the Lin Yun of ten days ago.

He moved his mind.

"True Qi Body Protection!"

Activate!

A layer of solid pale golden shield instantly appeared on his body surface!

The sound waves struck the shield and were weakened by over seventy percent; the remaining thirty percent, while still able to enter his mind, no longer posed much of an impact.

At the same time, his footwork changed.

"Thousand Shadow Steps!"

Countless afterimages split out simultaneously, and his true body was already like an arrow released from a string, rushing toward the nearest Ming Deer!

Inside the room, the hearts of the women instantly rose to their throats.

Su Yingxue tightly gripped Shen Youqing's hand.

Qiao Shiyu was even more nervous, not daring to even breathe.

Previously, when Lin Yun challenged the Combat Power Tower, he had fallen before the Ming Deer on the fifth floor!

Those damn deer had literally "cried" him to death with their sonic attacks!

But now.
