Sima Lingling even thought about persuading Su Yue to give up on the breathing ring altogether, wondering why he was putting himself through so much trouble.

"Report to mentor, I’ve reached Great Perfection!"

Su Yue took a deep breath and shared this exhilarating news with his mentor.

He could finally practice the Profound Ice Palm.

Such great perfection.

Come on, praise me a little, I’ve been waiting for this.

"Don’t get discouraged, keep wor... what, don’t joke with me!"

Sima Lingling was about to habitually encourage her student with a few words.

She didn’t even bother to listen to Su Yue’s exact Qi Blood value, as it was irrelevant until reaching 2000.

But when Su Yue said Great Perfection, it startled Sima Lingling.

How could it happen so quickly?

Is he training with a rocket?

"Mentor, about that Profound Ice Palm, isn’t it... hehehe!"

Su Yue rubbed his hands excitedly.

It might be because he understood the combat technique principles, whenever there’s such a powerful combat technique, Su Yue couldn’t help but feel excited.

The key is that it’s an auxiliary combat technique.

Which is quite rare.

"The Profound Ice Palm is an outstanding combat technique, my ability is not enough to imprint it on you!

"Go get ready, come to You’an Mansion at 3 PM, I’ll be waiting for you!"

Sima Lingling took out her watch and tested with an instrument.

As expected.

It was indeed 2000 calories, absolutely certain.

Then, Sima Lingling, dressed in morning jog sportswear, directly left West Martial!

"You’an Mansion?

"Mentor, which floor is it?"

Su Yue hurriedly asked.

Why so rushed, generally, the mentor isn’t this way.

"Wait for me on the first floor!"

Sima Lingling’s voice had faded into the distance.

...

Returning to Su Yue, he changed his clothes.

Not his lucky day.

Mu Cheng had gone out on a mission again and hadn’t returned to West Martial yet.

Even though they were dorm neighbors, it felt like a long-distance relationship.

Bai Xiaolong wasn’t on campus either.

Honestly, isn’t he tired of being with Meng Yang every day?

What an oddball!

Called Xu Baiyan.

Phone was off.

Not sure what his sister was doing, as a Martial Artist, her phone shouldn’t be off for no reason.

Then, out of the blue, he called Yang Lezhi.

This call infuriated Su Yue greatly.

Turns out his sister and Yang Lezhi were together, having just been diving with sharks and were now planning to bungee jump.

Truly a couple blessed by the immortals.

On the phone, Yang Lezhi was blissful, and Xu Baiyan was exclaiming with excitement.

Su Yue was rather comforted.

His sister, always looking burdened and having a bad temper, was not someone to smile easily.

Could this be the mysterious power of love?

I must be great for facilitating such a perfect match.

...

Su Yue dawdled a little longer, and before he knew it, it was already afternoon!

He prepared to head to You’an Mansion.

By then, the pills from Martial Arts Network had also arrived, and Su Yue signed for them directly.

Running out of time, Su Yue didn’t bother to return to the dorm, carrying ten Cold-Driving Pills with him.

You’an Mansion.

Seems so mysterious!

...

You’an Mansion.

This building belongs to the Divine Land’s Auxiliary Association.

Full name: Divine Land Auxiliary Martial Artists United Exchange Association.

This isn’t a fly-by-night association, it’s officially recognized by the Divine Land and receives dedicated funding!

A long time ago, when Earth was in great danger and in the era of full defense in major cities, auxiliary Martial Artists played a critical role.

But now, the talent pool has dwindled.

Throughout the entire Divine Land, fewer than 80 can be found.

And the veteran auxiliary Martial Artists are almost semi-retired, leaving a gap for successors. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Even in various Wudas, the auxiliary courses have gradually been canceled.

There’s no helping it.

As the Divine Land’s Martial Artists rose, the Military Department shifted from passive defense to active offense in the Wet Territory.

This made the need for strict protection of auxiliary Martial Artists increasingly awkward on the battlefield.

In the charge, auxiliary Martial Artists purely hold back progress.

As Martial Artists, everyone wants to achieve merit, everyone wants to become famous.

Unfortunately, because auxiliary Martial Artists cannot fight on the frontlines, they don’t gain much merit. Although the Divine Land provides some resources and support, the gap with combat Martial Artists is too large.

Over time, auxiliary Martial Artists have become fewer and fewer, nearly extinct now.

Lu Jianghao.

Sima Lingling’s mentor, a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster.

Of course, due to his age, Lu Jianghao has retired.

Back then, Lu Jianghao became popular in various armies with his combat song auxiliary technique.

An unparalleled auxiliary technique, at that.

But now, very few among the new generation of Martial Artists remember the King of Singing.

Yes!

King of Singing.

Not the King of Singing from the variety show, but a special title bestowed by Divine Land due to this combat song technique.

Similar in meaning to Su Qingfeng’s title of the Prince Qing.

Of course, Lu Jianghao spent his life studying auxiliary techniques, with limited energy, so he didn’t understand martial arts combat techniques. Thus, his title of King of Singing is considered a special title from Divine Land.

During that time, the Divine Land was in devastation, the Military Department was in disarray, and with the Wet Territory beings swarming, the Martial Artists of the Divine Land were almost in despair, some places turned into hell on earth.

Back then, Lu Jianghao’s combat song rallied the troops, lifted martial morale, and could make the armies’ spirits soar, endlessly determined. Under the boost of the combat song, the Martial Artists had no fear or despair whatsoever.

That was also his most glorious era.

But later, when the Divine Land stabilized, the Wet Ghost Tower was established, and various fortresses emerged in the Wet Territory, while the seven major armies became capable of both attack and retreat.

It was then that the effect of the combat song waned.

Nothing could be done.

Now, it’s no longer the era when lives were sacrificed to fiercely guard a mountain.
