149: Chapter 149 Sect
After the Secret Realm special training ended in Perfection, Jianghai Second Middle School did not rush to resume classes, but instead gave the students a three-day break.
Yue Yun was woken up on time by his biological clock. He gave the soundly sleeping Miao Sang a good petting, then climbed out of bed, satisfied, and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
In the end, Miao Sang could not overcome the sandman; its thunderous snoring started up again, loudly proclaiming its defeat.
Yue Yun, who didn't like to laze in bed, had no intention of depriving Miao Sang of the right to sleep in. He considerately prepared some cat food and headed out alone.
Today, his attire was light and casual. A white short-sleeved T-shirt contrasted with his skin tone. His brows were like swords, his nose bridge was high and straight, and his gentle expression carried a hint of a sharp, piercing aura.
Without hesitation.
Yue Yun headed toward the west side of the city with a clear destination in mind.
The abandoned brick factory remained the same as he remembered, but suddenly, there was a bright, beautiful figure there, a stark contrast to the style of the abandoned factory.
It was a young woman. Not only did she have fair, delicate skin and a slender figure, but she also possessed a beautiful face with a hint of heroic spirit, and a mischievous, intriguing smile hung on her face.
She spoke softly: "Grandpa, what's the point of staying holed up here every day? Why not come with me to the Imperial Capital for a few days!"
The Old Master opposite her looked completely unwilling.
When Yue Yun's figure appeared in his line of sight, the Old Master seemed to have found a savior. He pointed at him and immediately said:
"This kid is currently in the sprint stage of his college entrance exam. How can I leave at such a critical moment? Let's talk about it after the college entrance exam is over."
Yue Yun's footsteps suddenly faltered.
Although the Old Master didn't speak loudly, Yue Yun's perception was extremely keen, so he naturally heard it clearly.
Yue Yun's expression froze. Looking at the path he had walked hundreds of times, he hesitated, unable to Move forward for a moment.
The young woman, guided by the Old Master, also noticed the tall, slender figure in the distance and couldn't help but feel curious.
"What are you spacing out for? Come over!"
The Old Master didn't give Yue Yun a chance to leave.
When Yue Yun walked up to the two of them, the Old Master pulled him over and introduced him: "You shouldn't be a stranger to this kid. He's your dad's student, Yue Yun, and also the team champion of the Campus Championship!"
The young woman nodded in acknowledgment.
Her beautiful eyes landed on Yue Yun, and she unabashedly looked him over, finding him quite novel.
The young man in front of her was half a head taller than her. Through persistent tempering, his physical fitness was terrifyingly strong, and with the addition of his unique Beast-Taming School, it was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying power was contained within his body.
Yue Yun bit the bullet and greeted: "Hello, Senior Sister!"
From how the person before him addressed the Old Master, and the few words the Old Master had let slip, it was clear she was the Old Master's granddaughter, and her father was his teacher.
He currently only had one teacher.
A bold guess formed in Yue Yun's mind.
Sure enough.
The young woman before him smiled and gave a slight nod, acknowledging the relationship: "Hello, Junior Brother, my name is Pan Shuyu!"
Yue Yun smiled and shook hands with Pan Shuyu, but he was immensely surprised in his heart. He hadn't expected the Old Master and Pan Xuan to be father and son, and even less did he expect Pan Xuan to have such an old daughter.
Neither Pan Xuan nor the Old Master had ever mentioned this!
Pan Shuyu found him more and more interesting the more she looked at him.
The almost universally disliked E-rank Beast Taming Talent [Blood-Qi Sharing], along with the most ordinary Earth Spirit Cat.
Even though they were both surprisingly weak, they had managed to create such a unique Beast-Taming School for Yue Yun, and he possessed impressive combat power.
"You really are one of a kind!"
Facing Pan Shuyu's praise, Yue Yun scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's all thanks to the cultivation of my teacher and the Old Master; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bring out the unique characteristics of the Martial Combat Style."
[Blood-Qi Sharing] fuses the Pet Beast's life and power into his body, and [Life Manifestation] grants immunity to physical damage.
These two points were the cornerstone of his growing stronger, while Pan Xuan and the Old Master were the guiding lights that helped him realize his inner goals.
The Old Master appeared calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about Yue Yun's gratitude, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.
Pan Shuyu noticed this and couldn't help but pout.
She said testily: "Yeah, now Grandpa is staying here because of you and won't leave. I can't even get him to go to the Imperial Capital."
The Old Master's expression suddenly stiffened.
Fearing that he would be caught in the crossfire, Yue Yun didn't hesitate to clear his name: "Senior Sister, please don't misunderstand. This has absolutely nothing to do with me. It's completely because the Old Master can't bear to leave his smithy, and he's blaming me for his own unwillingness to leave!"
The Old Master's smile shattered.
He glared at Yue Yun: "You brat, no loyalty!"
Yue Yun rubbed the bridge of his nose and didn't dare to respond.
Pan Shuyu gave Yue Yun an approving look, then turned back to look at the Old Master, her eyes filled with a determined glint.
Seeing this, the Old Master knew he couldn't escape this trip to the Imperial Capital, so he had to sigh silently.
"Fine, I'll go to the Imperial Capital with you."
Having received the Old Master's agreement, Pan Shuyu nodded with satisfaction, finalizing the matter.
She suggested again: "Grandpa, let's go to the supermarket!"
This time, the Old Master was clearly tempted, so he looked at Yue Yun, asking if he needed help with his tempering.
"Old Master, don't worry about me. I just stopped by while passing through; I wasn't planning on doing any high-intensity tempering."
Yue Yun explained with a light smile: "I just finalized the skill customized through the directional skill cultivation qualification awarded by the Campus Championship, and I need to go to the Association to collect the first batch of Awakening resources."
Pan Shuyu couldn't help but feel curious.
As far as she knew, Yue Yun's Beast-Taming School did not rely on Pet Beasts for combat, but rather independently relied on himself.
For such a unique Beast-Taming School, the skill selection should also differ from other Beast-Taming Schools.
"What skill are you going to choose?"
Not just her, the Old Master was also quite curious.
Although the Old Master knew the direction Yue Yun had chosen, not all defensive skills were suitable for Yue Yun.
Facing the curiosity of the Old Master and Senior Sister, Yue Yun naturally didn't hide his choice. He also explained his reasoning for choosing [Stone Cocoon], clarifying the pros and cons.
Pan Shuyu raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. The Old Master was quite gratified, clearly very approving of Yue Yun's choice.
"Since that's the case, we'll be leaving now."
Pan Shuyu affectionately took the Old Master's arm and waved goodbye to Yue Yun: "Junior Brother, come to my house for dinner tonight! I'll have my dad pick you up then!"
Without giving Yue Yun a chance to decline, Pan Shuyu walked away with the Old Master, leaving Yue Yun with a dashing view of their backs.
Yue Yun smiled and slowly walked to the open ground at the back.
He closed his eyes slightly to adjust his breathing, then, following the teachings of the Old Master and Pan Xuan, he executed various Moves step by step, followed by an endless stream of variations.
Every stretch of his muscles and bones, every surge of his Blood-Qi, felt as if it were being fused into his bones to become instinct.
Until a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, Yue Yun finally stopped, stood upright, and slowly exhaled the stale air, readjusting his state before leaving the place.
He had also long since received the urging message from Xu Qingfang.
