A night of cultivation.

His Qi and Blood had soared.

And his realm had jumped directly from 1-Star 2nd-Order to 3rd-Order.

Lin Yi came out of his room.

He found that Tang Qinru had already left.

She had left him a note, and breakfast was already laid out on the table.

A bag of store-bought buns and a bowl of millet porridge.

A small dish of pickles...

Lin Yi didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down to eat.

Soon, after he finished eating,

he first washed the bowl and then headed straight for the Martial Arts Hall.

Another day had passed, bringing the Martial Arts exam one day closer.

He had to reach the small goal he’d set for himself before the exam: breaking through to the 3-Star Cultivation Realm.

For others, this "small goal" might be completely unattainable.

Advancing a full star and two orders in just two short months was simply impossible for most.

But for Lin Yi, it might just be possible.

He took the bus all the way to the Martial Arts Hall.

By the time he got off, it was already past nine in the morning.

At this time, students were trickling into the Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Yi joined them and walked inside.

When he took the elevator and arrived at the training room,

a few students were already there, cramming in some extra practice.

Like Lin Yi, they were all third-year high school students.

They were also preparing to take the Martial Arts exam.

Two months was an incredibly tight deadline for them.

To successfully get into a Martial Arts University, the higher their Cultivation Realm, the better their chances.

Lin Yi changed his clothes.

He went straight to the main training hall.

"Coach Wu, morning!"

After coming in, Lin Yi saw Coach Wu sitting lazily in a chair, playing on his phone.

Lin Yi greeted him.

Coach Wu was so startled that his phone almost fell to the ground.

"Lin... Lin Yi?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Yes, it’s me!"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

"You’re here so early? For Body Tempering?"

"Yes. I want to test my limits. I didn’t get to find them yesterday!"

Coach Wu was speechless.

"Lin Yi, quenching is about raising your body’s upper limits."

"But you have to know your own measure and timing. If you exceed your body’s limits, it can be counterproductive. You understand what I’m saying, right?"

Coach Wu reminded him again.

Lin Yi nodded. "Coach Wu, I understand what you mean. I won’t force it. The moment my body reaches its limit, I’ll come right out!"

Coach Wu stared intently at Lin Yi for a few moments.

Then he finally nodded and said, "Alright, go on then. There’s no one in the Quenching Rooms, so you can pick whichever one you like!"

"Thank you, Coach Wu!"

After thanking him, Lin Yi took out his Black Gold Card and walked over.

He chose the same room as yesterday.

After swiping his card, Lin Yi pushed the door open and went inside.

The moment the door closed, Coach Wu couldn’t afford to be careless.

He immediately walked over to monitor the situation inside the Quenching Room.

He was afraid that Lin Yi, being a new student without a good sense of his own limits, might accidentally injure himself, which would be a huge problem.

After all, everyone who could train here was at the disciple level.

Their talent went without saying.

Furthermore, they were all promising candidates for the Martial Arts Universities.

Some might even be accepted as Direct Disciples by the old Hall Master.

If an accident were to happen, he, Wu Gang, couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Time ticked by, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty minutes had passed.

Inside the Quenching Room, there was still no movement.

Last time, Lin Yi had been forcibly stopped at this very moment.

But today, Coach Wu didn’t do that. In truth, he also wanted to see Lin Yi’s limit—just how long could he last?

"Coach Wu? Who’s in there, quenching so early in the morning?"

Hearing the voice, Wu Gang turned to look.

He saw a male and a female student walking over, looking curious.

The boy was tall and well-built, with somewhat delicate features.

The girl was poised and graceful, with a towel draped around her neck.

Among the Martial Arts Hall’s disciples, the two of them were considered quite early.

So when they saw someone had arrived even earlier than them,

it naturally made them curious.

"Zhuang Tao? Lin Lu?"

Wu Gang called out their names.

These two disciples were also third-year high school students.

Their talent was a given; anyone recruited as a student by the Martial Arts Hall was one in a hundred.

Right now, they were all focused on the Martial Arts exam in two months.

They spent every day at the Martial Arts Hall, improving their Cultivation Realms.

"It’s one of Coach Yang’s students!"

"Coach Yang’s student? Zhou Qi?"

Lin Lu walked to the door of the Quenching Room and glanced at the timer.

Her expression changed dramatically.

"34 minutes? Coach Wu..."

Wu Gang looked at the shocked expressions on her and Zhuang Tao’s faces.

He wasn’t surprised in the least and nodded. "It’s not Zhou Qi. It’s another new disciple!"

"Holy shit..."

"No way! What’s his name? How can he be so fierce? He’s been quenching for over half an hour and still isn’t out? Coach Wu, you didn’t go easy on the settings, did you?" Zhuang Tao asked with an exaggerated expression.

In truth, anyone else would have reacted the same way.

Before this, the record holder was a disciple from the previous year.

The longest time spent in a Quenching Room was 28 minutes.

Just two minutes short of half an hour.

No one had ever been able to break that record.

But today, it was like they were witnessing a monster.

He had been in there for over half an hour and still showed no signs of coming out?

Lin Lu suddenly gasped, a look of realization dawning on her. "It couldn’t be that guy named Lin Yi, could it? The student who sparred with Zhou Qi over the weekend and threw the match to let him win?"

"Lin Yi? Now I remember him!"

"He joined our Martial Arts Hall? And as a disciple?"

Seeing that they had both heard of Lin Yi,

Wu Gang gave a wry smile and nodded. "That’s him."

"My god... just what kind of monster is he?"

"It’s almost been forty minutes, and he’s still not out?"

Zhuang Tao’s shock was beyond what words could describe.

Lin Lu, meanwhile, had her eyes glued to the timer.

She watched as the seconds ticked by relentlessly.

But the Lin Yi inside still showed no intention of coming out.

’Does he really have no upper limit?’
