5: Chapter 5: 100% absorption of medicinal power, resulting in a 10-point increase in health and mana.

This time, there was a faint, almost imperceptible edge to her palm techniques.

Although it was still very weak, it already had the budding form of something greater.

"Correct, that's it!" Wen Yan nodded. "Keep practicing, and remember this feeling."

Su Yingxue practiced seven or eight times in a row, making progress each time.

The more she practiced, the more excited she became, as this level of high-quality guidance was simply impossible to obtain at school.

Most school teachers were just newly promoted Martial Artists. Having a Second-Rank Martial Artist as a teacher was something only top-tier martial arts high schools could offer; in a small place like Jiangcheng, it was unthinkable.

"Thank you, Auntie Wen!"

When Su Yingxue stopped, her forehead was already covered in sweat, but her eyes were filled with excitement.

"Don't be in such a rush to thank me; this is just the beginning."

Wen Yan pointed to the training equipment nearby.

"Now, go use that equipment to better refine your Qi and blood."

"Remember, the more solid your Foundation is during the apprentice stage, the greater your growth potential will be after your Breakthrough into a Martial Artist."

Su Yingxue followed her instructions and walked toward the training area.

There was various advanced equipment here:

Gravity-adjusting treadmills, electromagnetic weighted squat racks, high-frequency vibration strength trainers...

Each piece was worth a fortune.

She tried getting on a strength trainer and began to exercise according to Wen Yan's guidance.

As the equipment started, Su Yingxue felt all the muscles in her body being activated, and her Qi and blood began to circulate at high speed within her.

This efficiency was more than ten times higher than those old, outdated pieces of equipment at school!

"This is amazing..." she sighed inwardly.

The conditions here were even better than she had imagined. To be able to Cultivate in such an environment, with personal guidance from a Second-Rank Martial Artist...

She couldn't even imagine that she had actually hesitated about whether or not to marry into this family.

"Not only can I pursue the Dao of martial arts, but my husband is also so handsome and kind..."

As Su Yingxue thought this, a blush appeared on her face.

"To think I hesitated for so long before... really..."

On the other side, Lin Yun had already walked into the Gravity Chamber.

This was a completely sealed metal room, with complex energy patterns covering the walls.

The Gravity Chamber is a Sharp Weapon for a Martial Artist's cultivation, capable of affecting every single cell in the body.

Cultivating in a high-gravity environment not only strengthens the body but also significantly increases the absorption efficiency of any Medicinal Pill.

"Two times gravity, activate."

Lin Yun said to the control panel.

Hum—

Amidst a low humming sound, Lin Yun felt his body suddenly sink, as if another person were pressing down on him.

Lin Yun adjusted his breathing, and after adapting for a few minutes, he took out a blood-qi pill and swallowed it.

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a stream of heat that surged into his abdomen.

Lin Yun dared not slack off and immediately began to practice the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Under two times gravity, every movement was several times more difficult than usual, but the stimulation to his Qi and blood was also much stronger.

He felt the heat in his body being rapidly absorbed as he performed the fist techniques.

His Qi and blood were boiling, growing!

After finishing one set of fist techniques, Lin Yun stopped, stood still, and carefully felt the changes in his body.

"This is..." A look of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes. "It increased by at least five points!"

In the past, taking a blood-qi pill and getting an increase of 0.5 points would have been considered good; sometimes, there was no reaction at all.

But now, with the combination of the Gravity Chamber and the fist techniques, it had actually increased by five points in one go!

This was an effect he never dared to imagine before!

Lin Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to Cultivate.

He dared not waste this precious time and practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist over and over again inside the Gravity Chamber.

After finishing four sets of fist techniques, the medicinal power of the blood-qi pill was completely absorbed.

Lin Yun felt his Qi and blood surging like a tide, much stronger than before!

"Check Qi and blood."

He said to the indoor monitoring System.

The screen displayed the data: 58 points.

"Ten points... it increased by a full ten points!"

Lin Yun clenched his fists, an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart.

From 48 points to 58 points, it only took one blood-qi pill and two hours of Cultivation!

At this speed, he had a good chance of reaching 100 points within a month and becoming a Martial Artist!

When he walked out of the Gravity Chamber, Lin Yun was drenched in sweat, but his spirits were exceptionally high.

He looked toward the training area and found Su Yingxue practicing in the movement technique training zone.

It was a transparent glass room with dozens of firing ports inside.

Wearing a special weighted suit, Su Yingxue moved quickly inside the room, while soft rubber projectiles were fired at her from various directions from time to time.

She dodged with great difficulty, and from time to time, she would be hit, making "pat-pat" sounds.

Five minutes later, the training ended.

Su Yingxue walked out of the room, drenched in sweat. Her black training outfit clung tightly to her body, outlining her curves in a way that made one's heart itch uncontrollably.

She was panting, but her eyes were filled with excitement.

"Your reaction speed is still a bit slow," Wen Yan commented.

"Your predictive ability needs to be strengthened. Don't wait until the rubber projectiles are fired to dodge; you must watch the charging light effects of the firing ports and predict them in advance."

"Yes, Auntie Wen." Su Yingxue noted it down seriously.

Lin Yun approached, and after Su Yingxue had calmed her breathing a little, he quickly said:

"Yingxue, you should go to the Gravity Chamber to Cultivate now, and while you're at it, take the blood-qi pill."

Su Yingxue, however, shook her head. "Husband, I still need to consolidate my Foundation a bit more."

"Sister Wen Yan just pointed out many problems I have; my Foundation isn't solid enough. To rashly use a blood-qi pill to force an increase now would do more harm than good."

Hearing Su Yingxue change her address to "Sister Wen Yan," Lin Yun's eyes lit up.

Right, he was used to calling her "Auntie Wen" since he was a child, but now that he wanted to marry her, wouldn't calling her "Auntie Wen" seem too distant?

It must be this form of address that made her unhappy, which is why she threw him out last time!

Thinking of this, Lin Yun immediately turned his head and shouted to Wen Yan, "Sister Wen Yan!"

Wen Yan rolled her eyes at him but didn't object to the address. She just said indifferently, "What? Not calling me Auntie Wen anymore?"

"That's just to make you sound younger!" Lin Yun grinned cheekily. "Sister Wen Yan sounds so much more intimate!"

"Smooth talker." Wen Yan snorted, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The training session came to an end, and the two took a shower in the training room's shower area.

Because Wen Yan was still waiting outside, Lin Yun had to suppress the amorous thoughts in his heart and quickly finished rinsing off with Su Yingxue before coming out.

When they walked out of the shower area, they found that Wen Yan was no longer in the training room.

"Sister Wen Yan must have gone back."

"Let's go back too. Today's training intensity was quite high, so we need to get some good rest."

"Mm."

Su Yingxue nodded, her face still flushed from the exercise, looking exceptionally charming.

As the two walked out of the training room side by side, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled over the small path of the manor.

Su Yingxue suddenly said softly, "Husband, thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Lin Yun asked, puzzled.

"Thank you for sharing such good resources with me." Su Yingxue looked at him seriously.

"And thank you for respecting my wish to continue pursuing the Dao of martial arts."

Lin Yun smiled and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.

"Silly girl, you are my wife; if I'm not good to you, who should I be good to?"

"Besides, the stronger you are, the stronger our future baby will be, right?"

Su Yingxue blushed, but she didn't pull away, letting Lin Yun hold her as they walked back.

At this moment, a warm current surged in her heart.

Perhaps, marrying Lin Yun really was the most correct decision of her life.
