Chapter 35: A New Required Course

Su Ming stood bare-chested in the center of the courtyard, repeating that simple punching motion over and over again.

Sweat trickled down his lean back, reflecting fragmented light under the moonlight.

A week had passed.

His master had fallen into a deep slumber, completely silent for an entire week.

The shock and terror of that night had, after seven days of settling, transformed into another, deeper emotion—a reverence for the unknown and a bitter hatred for his own weakness.

Every day, aside from reviewing his studies, he spent all his time on "body tempering" and "meditation."

Each punch he threw was more powerful than the day before.

Each session of meditation was more focused than the last.

He was pushing himself, using physical exhaustion to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

He dared not stop. He feared that if he paused, the terrifying killing intent that had leaked from his master that night would resurface in his mind, shattering his courage and resolve. Su Ming exhaled a turbid breath, retracted his fist, and prepared to return to his room.Right at that moment, a hoarse voice, tinged with extreme exhaustion, abruptly sounded in his mind.

"Kid, not sleeping in the middle of the night, who are you putting on this monkey show for?"

Su Ming's body jolted violently, ecstasy instantly washing away all his fatigue and anxiety.

"Master! You're awake!"

Lin Yu thought to himself: *Finally got that madwoman's resentment bound up tight... Damn it, building a prison in my own mind, I'm truly a genius. Just these side effects... feels like I've got a ticking time bomb in my soul, could blow up my retirement home at any moment.*

Lin Yu's voice still sounded weak, but much more stable than before.

"Mhm." He responded lightly, maintaining the most basic reserve of a lofty master.

"Master, your condition..." Su Ming asked urgently, his voice full of concern.

"It's nothing. Just a remnant of a heart demon, already refined and purified by your master." Lin Yu said dismissively.

Lin Yu thought to himself: *Refined my foot! Just tied it up with sealing strips and stuffed it in a corner! This thing is now a high-purity source of mental pollution, can't even touch it!*

Hearing this, the weight in Su Ming's heart finally eased considerably.
