Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 267 Accident

Li Yuetian's body felt slightly hot, and his bones made a faint "clicking" sound, as if new power was taking root and sprouting in his flesh and blood.

Half an hour later, Lin Yue withdrew her inner energy, a little sweat beading on her forehead. This Li Yuetian smelled strangely sweet; she couldn't tell if it was his natural body odor or something else.

She positioned Li Yuetian on his side, using the blanket to cover his seemingly unchanged muscle lines.

Lin Yue admired his muscles for a while: "Hmm, your physique is even better than before, not bad, not bad."

"Hey, wake up." She gently patted Li Yuetian's cheek. He opened his eyes groggily, feeling warm all over, as if he had taken a nap in a hot spring.

"Have you slept enough? If you slack off again, I'll double your extra training this afternoon." Li Yuetian sat up, rubbing his temples. He vaguely remembered that he was incredibly sleepy as soon as he entered the room.

He clenched his fists instinctively—an unprecedented burst of energy surged through his palms, as if magma was coursing through his veins.

“Strange, how come I…” “How come what?” Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and interrupted him, shoving a new bottle of drink into his hand. “Did you sleep too comfortably? Hurry up and finish this drink so we can go to the open space. Don’t waste time.” Li Yuetian felt uneasy under her gaze and had no choice but to suppress his doubts and get up.

The two arrived at an open space, and Lin Yue began to demonstrate her new move. This time, however, Li Yuetian's movements were much smoother when he imitated it. When he threw a punch, the air even made a slight tearing sound—the power far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

“Not bad.” Lin Yue squinted at his movements. “Looks like sleeping really does build muscle?” She suddenly raised her leg and swept it horizontally. Li Yuetian instinctively dodged to the side, and with a burst of strength from his waist and abdomen, he actually caught her attack with 0.001% of his strength.

"This is impossible..." Li Yuetian stared at his palm, utterly shocked. He hadn't deliberately practiced, yet his body seemed to have been reshaped. Lin Yue smiled without saying a word, secretly relieved that he hadn't noticed her true energy flowing through him.

She deliberately emphasized, "You practiced in your dream?" "I..." Li Yuetian stammered. Where would he find the time to practice secretly?

But Lin Yue's teasing left him no time to delve deeper, and he could only bury his doubts in his heart. In the extra training sessions that followed, he fought with increasing courage and skill. In one sparring session, he even used a new move taught by Lin Yue to counter her by half a step, even though she had improved to use 0.005% of her strength.

"Not bad, kid." Lin Yue's eyes flashed with satisfaction as she finished her training. She didn't tell him the truth—the enhancement of true qi was not permanent, but if Li Yuetian trained diligently, this special forces physique could become his foundation.

As the sun set, Li Yuetian sat on the steps, drenched in sweat. He unscrewed the cap of his drink bottle with surprising ease, managing to do so with just one hand. He paused, then turned to Lin Yue: "I feel like something's off today..." "What's off?" Lin Yue asked, tilting her head back as she chugged her water, the line of her neck gilded by the setting sun.

"Could it be that you discovered I secretly gave you a cheat code?" She chuckled and patted him, his muscles beneath her palm as firm as iron. Li Yuetian's ears burned, he shook his head earnestly, but could no longer hide the confusion in his eyes.

He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lin Yue: "Don't worry, although I'm stronger now, I'll control my strength when I hit you later... I definitely won't hurt you!"

"How could I possibly be..." Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yue suddenly remembered her previous promise, and her face darkened.

Does this kid really think he did badly on the test? Or does he just want to punish himself?

"Go!" Lin Yue pushed him and shooed him to the door. "The sun is almost setting, what are you still doing in my house? Hurry up and go!"

Li Yuetian was pushed by Lin Yue, and he almost fell over. He looked back at the sullen Lin Yue, scratched his head, and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I'll leave. Do you need me to come and study with you tomorrow?" Lin Yue turned her head away and said irritably, "Who wants to study with you? Go study by yourself."

"Bang!" Lin Yue slammed the door shut. She didn't know why she had been so flustered just now.

Li Yuetian stared at the closed door, puzzled. What was wrong with him now? He didn't seem to have said anything. Li Yuetian stood at the door for a moment, scratched his head, and turned to leave. Lin Yue leaned against the door, listening to the footsteps gradually fade away before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

.........

Lin Yue didn't concern herself with the aftermath of the principal's eccentric behavior, but she still inquired about it with Zhuang Changwu.

The follow-up was not difficult; the students recovered after a nap in the hospital. The slightly more difficult part was dealing with the girls who had been brought into the inner circle by the eccentric principal.

They were heavily hypnotized and suffered considerable psychological damage; it seems they will need to stay in the hospital for some time.

However, this matter could not be kept from his brother. Soon, Lin Mu called and, as expected, he gave him a lecture.

After that, things were peaceful for a while. Lin Yue went to and from school, living a simple life, and she was quite happy with the peace and quiet.

The monthly exam was fast approaching! Lin Yue looked at the test paper, her brows furrowed. Those formulas that she had once memorized perfectly now seemed like mischievous sprites, darting around in her mind and refusing to obediently surface.

Finally, all the exams were over, and after school, Lin Yue walked out of the classroom dejectedly.

Li Yuetian caught up with her and asked with concern, "Lin Yue, how did the exam go?" Lin Yue replied irritably, "I don't think it went very well, but I could understand all the questions." She had missed a lot of classes and had fallen behind, so she couldn't understand many of the questions on the exam. Fortunately, Li Yuetian's tutoring had been effective.

Li Yuetian nodded: "Don't be discouraged. Even if you didn't reach your goal, you've still made a lot of progress compared to before!"

Lin Yue rolled her eyes at him: "Are you trying to comfort me? Do you really want to hit me?"

Li Yuetian imagined the scene: Lin Yue, looking defiant, lay on his lap, and he raised his hand...

His face flushed red, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that."

Li Yuetian's stammering made Lin Yue even more irritated. She quickened her pace, her schoolbag swaying behind her with a dull thud.

On the day the monthly exam results were released, Lin Yue looked at the ranking list at the back of the classroom—39th place. Li Yuetian leaned over to look, his delight evident: "You've improved by 6 places compared to the end of last semester! That's not bad!"

Lin Yue wasn't so optimistic. After two monthly exams came the midterm exams. If she was at a mid-level, that meant ranking 25th or higher.

Lin Yue frowned, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. "We're still a long way from our goal."

Li Yuetian smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, at worst it's just..." "If you bring that up again, believe me, I'll hang you up and beat you up first!" Lin Yue glared at him. How come she never noticed how mischievous Li Yuetian was before? It seems she still doesn't understand him well enough.

“There are still two months left. I can tutor you; I'm sure it will work,” Li Yuetian immediately changed his mind. Lin Yue glanced at him, feeling a little touched, but still refused: “No, I still want to try it myself.”

In the days that followed, Lin Yue threw herself into her studies and declined all entertainment activities.

The second monthly exam before the midterms. When the results came out, Lin Yue looked at her ranking—30th, one step closer to her goal.

"Another improvement! At this rate, I'll definitely be in the middle of the pack in the midterms." Lin Yue looked at the rankings and smiled slightly, but quickly became serious again.

Not enough, still 5 places short! In the days that followed, Lin Yue studied even harder than before, spending her breaks doing practice problems. Of course, the price was that she would fall asleep as soon as she got home from school, and she would copy Li Yuetian's homework the next morning at school.

Soon, the day of the exam arrived, and the classroom was shrouded in a stifling silence.

Lin Yue's hand trembled slightly as she gripped the pen, but the answers flowed from her pen like a spring. The morning's Chinese exam went smoothly; the pen tip traced lines on the paper like the trajectory of her punch tearing through the air.

She felt exceptionally good at subjects like physics, math, and more, and this time she might do better than ever before!

The next day at noon, Lin Yue walked out of the school with a relaxed expression. Now, all that was left was the afternoon's English class.

But just as she was about to leave for school that afternoon, the voice of the Heavenly Dao suddenly rang in her mind.

"Lin Yue, are you there? I've detected that Oma Zi-O has been resurrected! I need you to come and destroy him right now!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's face instantly turned extremely ugly. That damned Oma Zi-O! Of all times, it had to happen at this time!
