Super Soldier in Campus

Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng drank the night before, and were a bit dazed when they were woken up early by Lin Feng demanding they expend their Inner Strength and physical energy, somewhat unwillingly. Later, seeing their sluggishness, Lin Feng angrily had staff bring over two buckets of cold water to drench the two lazybones, instantly sobering them up!

In fact, not only did they sober up, but Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng also started shouting from the cold...

You have to know that this period is already the coldest time in Jiangzhou City, with morning temperatures around zero degrees. The Martial Hall is large and can’t have air conditioning everywhere. Although the two have Inner Strength to protect themselves from the cold, the agony of being drenched in ice-cold water all over is definitely not something ordinary people can endure!

"Sounds like you’re more energized now! You better behave, or I’ll bring two buckets of hot water next time!" Lin Feng smirked cruelly as he spoke, clearly pleased with himself.

After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng shuddered with fear, not daring to slack off anymore, and desperately ran at the highest speed on the treadmill, trying their best to expend their Inner Strength...

However, for inner strength cultivators like Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng, this level of exercise clearly can’t quickly exhaust their stamina. They spent a full four to five hours on equipment training, and by noon, still had plenty of energy...

But the dual pain of spirit and body already made Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng, who hadn’t suffered much before, involuntarily let out repeated sighs.

"I didn’t expect you guys to last this long. How about this... If you still have energy, go hit the punching bag... at least you’ll have some way to vent, won’t be so miserable!" Lin Feng said with a chuckle as he enjoyed the sweet pastries sent by Zhu Xiuyue.

Lu Zhanpeng and Xie Nan, who had previously been totally demotivated, perked up at the suggestion to hit the punching bag, and with gritted teeth selected a bag, starting to punch it with all they had. Seeing their engrossed expressions, it was obvious they imagined the poor punching bag as some hated boss!

Their invested punching led to faster exhaustion, and they finally toppled over one after the other. Lin Feng began to use the Fate Changing Needle to reshape their meridians. Just after finishing all this, Lin Feng’s phone suddenly rang...

Upon checking the phone, he found an overseas call from Xiang Wang in America. A sudden ominous feeling crossed his mind. He steadied himself and answered the call, asking in a deep voice, "Fatty, what’s up?"

Xiang Wang’s voice sounded slightly anxious and tense.

"Brother Feng, Tang Rou... she’s in trouble..."

"What happened? Make it clear!" Lin Feng frowned and asked sternly.

...

Tang Rou had already been in the USA for two days. Her mother, Ye Shufen, lived in a secluded town in Snow City, New York State. At the end of December, during the Western Christmas period, Snow City lived up to its name with swirling snow enveloping the world in silver.

Following Lin Feng’s instructions, Xiang Wang and Zhou Yang escorted Tang Rou to meet her mother, ensuring at least one person remained by Tang Rou’s side while the other could move freely.

Xiang Wang was concerned about his parents’ situation and wanted to find a way to visit them, so Zhou Yang naturally stayed by Tang Rou’s side.

Tang Rou found it a bit troublesome to bring Zhou Yang to meet her mother, but she understood Lin Feng’s concern, so she brought Zhou Yang to her mother Ye Shufen’s house, introducing Zhou Yang as her bodyguard, which Ye Shufen accepted without comment.

Over two days, the mother and daughter who hadn’t seen each other in years poured out their hearts, talked a lot, cried and hugged, and then Ye Shufen, who was accustomed to living alone, began to cool off her enthusiasm and focused on her work and life affairs, while Tang Rou, in a foreign land, also began to feel a bit homesick.

That morning, Ye Shufen suddenly introduced someone to Tang Rou.

"Little Rou, this is Mom’s good friend, Master Ciyun. She’s a renowned sage from Wunian Nunnery in Harbor City. Come over and chat with Paragon Master!" Ye Shufen warmly introduced Tang Rou, "Come let Master Ciyun read your face and offer you some life advice. With her guidance, you’ll have an enjoyable life free from worries!"

In Tang Rou’s eyes, Master Ciyun was a middle-aged woman dressed in moon-white attire with kindness reflected on her face, always wearing the kindest smile that offers warmth, so Tang Rou complied with her mother’s directions naturally and started chatting with Master Ciyun.

Master Ciyun was Ye Shufen’s good friend purely because of Ye Shufen’s wealth and past emotional wounds that led her to Buddhist faith. Ye Shufen, caring for worldly matters and unwilling to take vows and become a nun while still being exceedingly generous, had once donated a million in incense money to Wunian Nunnery during an early visit, naturally becoming a good friend of Master Ciyun from Wunian Nunnery...

This time, Master Ciyun traveled overseas mainly to visit her benefactor Ye Shufen and discuss the plans for Wunian Nunnery’s restoration of the Bodhisattva’s golden statue. Ye Shufen, true to her generosity, promised three million for restoration, naturally making Master Ciyun prioritize their friendship even more!

When asked by Ye Shufen to read her daughter’s face, Master Ciyun originally planned to use some generic flattery to praise Tang Rou casually and be done with it, but when Master Ciyun’s gaze settled on Tang Rou, she was somewhat taken aback...

"Master Ciyun? What’s wrong?" Ye Shufen asked in concern, noticing Master Ciyun’s sudden stillness. "Is Tang Rou in poor condition?"

Tang Rou was also surprised looking at Master Ciyun. She had clearly seen that when the old nun looked at her, her eyes seemed to flash with tangible cold glints, as if scanning her entire being completely, leaving no secrets in front of her.

"Not at all, not at all!" Master Ciyun shook her head, telling Ye Shufen, "Ms. Ye, I see your daughter possesses great wisdom and is fated with Buddhism. I wish to take her as an apprentice, what do you think?"

"Take Tang Rou as an apprentice? What made you have this idea, Master?" Ye Shufen asked with surprise, though she didn’t see any issues with Master Ciyun’s request. In fact, she felt a bit delighted; after all, in her heart, Master Ciyun was someone difficult for ordinary people to approach. If Tang Rou could apprentice under her, it would be Tang Rou’s fortune...

Except Tang Rou didn’t see it that way!
