re fine; they left the country ahead of time and are currently abroad waiting to reunite with you. If you don't believe me, I can contact them right now.”Guo Huai smirked but didn't look happy. He too...Wu Yishan looked at the broken video, his face darkened. He thought that as long as he didn't tell Lian Yi, this matter could be vague and pass. He was also a general, others would look at him on the surface and wouldn't hold onto this matter.

But now that General Du has stepped in, it's clearly impossible to sweep things under the rug. His actions are indefensible, and if no one mentions them, well, then that's fine. But if someone exposes this, not only will Lian Bo be unable to get into the first Military Academy, but even Du himself will face questions about his character.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Yishan still signed the statement agreeing to change his surname and gave it to General Du Lao. He knew very well that once he signed this statement, his father-son relationship with Lianyi would come to an end, but he had no choice but to do so.

General Du had originally thought that Wu Yishan would still hesitate for a while, but the next day the other party sent over a statement agreeing to change his surname. He let out a sigh, feeling sorry for Lian Yi, and understood why the child acted so decisively. Now thinking about it, blowing up General Du's residence wasn't that hard to accept.

When Lian Yi heard the news, she wasn't at all surprised. Instead, she asked in a cheerful tone:

"Grandfather, what is the name of my new"

"Among your generation, you are all a character of 'Hong.' Your new name is Du Hongtu, and your nickname is still Lianyi. This was given to you by your mother."

Old Master Du smiled and said.

Thank you, Grandfather!

Ripples smiled and agreed.

That evening, the Du family gathered together for a rare occasion. They held a family gathering for Lian'i to welcome her into their big family. Lian'i also received gifts prepared by everyone. From now on, she could proudly say that she was part of the Du family whenever she went out.

There are still three months until the Imperial First Military Academy's recruitment day, and Lianri's daily schedule has become increasingly tight. In the morning, she absorbs spiritual energy in the meditation room, in the afternoon, she trains her body, and for the three hours before bed, she uses it to train her mental strength.

Ten days before the enrollment, Lian Yi broke through to the Golden Core stage, which is the seventh level of ancient martial arts.

Tu Zi Feng went home on vacation and discovered that Lian Yi had already broken through to the seventh level of ancient martial arts, officially entering the ranks of ancient martial arts masters. It would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised.

"Lian Yi, I'll take you for a qualification test tomorrow and get the report done. Don't cultivate today."

Du Zifeng rarely said something that wouldn't encourage cultivation.

"Okay! Cousin, I just have a question for you."

After Ripple finished speaking, she opened her own smart brain and asked about the things she didn't understand when she was researching the mech. She asked one by one. Some questions even involved research areas, and Du Zifeng also showed his professional level and answered these questions carefully.

The next day, at the research institute, they retested him. It was still the same group of people from last time. This time, they were even more shocked. In just half a year, this child had reached the seventh level of ancient martial arts. This completely overturned their understanding of cultivation progress.

Zi Feng, be honest with me, did you give the little one special treatment Or did you come up with some even more advanced activation fluid, that's why his progress is so fast

With blonde hair, Monica pushed her chin up and immediately questioned back, a question that echoed in everyone's minds.

"Monica, I work on mecha development, not drug research. Your question is too dumb, so I won't answer it."

Du Zi Feng was dressed impeccably at the moment, a light gray long-sleeved shirt under a black suit and trousers, with a white, form-fitting coat over it. His legs looked longer and his waist narrower than ever. He stood casually in front of the testing screen, glancing at it while speaking.

"That's cooking up a special meal for yourself!"

"No way! I'm in the lab every day, no chance to give Lian a private lesson! I think it must be the gene stimulant that fully unlocked his potential, that's why he improved so fast."

When I went back, my father told me that the child spent most of his time training his mental fortitude and practicing ancient martial arts besides deep sleep. This must be what our ancestors meant by "Heaven rewards hard work."

Du Zi Feng smiled and explained.

Lian Yi successfully obtained the qualification test report and then returned to the Du family with Du Zi Feng.

Before entering, Du Zifeng was still saying:

"You're about to go to the First Military Academy, so these two days you should spend more time with grandpa and the others instead of cultivating."

"I know, I was planning to spend the next time with my grandparents."

The ripples flowed smoothly from Shanru's words.

The old master and madam had already seen the report sent back by Du Zifeng. They couldn't help but smile. The old master even went to his small storeroom, rummaging through it all, to prepare a gift for his grandson to welcome him into the university.

Ripple looked at the long, metal box in front of her and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. She raised her eyes to look at General Du Lao, asking with some impatience:

"Grandfather, is this really a gift for me"

Of course, this was left behind by an ancient martial arts grandmaster. Only those who have reached the seventh level of ancient martial arts can wield it. It's a pity that he perished on the battlefield against extraterrestrial enemies, leaving only this sword behind. He hopes you are worthy of it.

After hearing this, Lianyi nodded solemnly and then opened the box. There lay her familiar Lei Yao sword, almost as if it flew into her hand the moment she raised her hand.

That familiar feeling flowed into his palm. The Lei Yao sword let out a soft hum, its blade quivering as it conveyed its joy to Lian Ri.

“I want to try it out in the yard.”

Ringlets smiled, holding onto Rayo and said to the people present.

"Go!"

General Du was delighted to see that his grandson loved the gift he had sent.

Ripple immediately drew her sword and stepped out of the room. Standing in the open courtyard, she struck with a single powerful thrust, followed by a series of moves from the Heaven and Earth Dragon Sword Technique. As she wielded her long sword, her precise control, decisive strikes, and graceful movements left the few onlookers delighted.

Because this ripple used spiritual energy, it was the most compatible force with the Thunderlight Sword. Moreover, Thunderlight was her signature sword, and their combination was exceptionally harmonious. After a single set of sword techniques, they even managed to attract heavenly lightning.

Du Zifeng was startled and about to activate his defenses, but General Du stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Don't worry! Lian Yi can handle it. The original owner of this sword could summon lightning and drag all the enemies in a star sector into a sea of thunder. He was one of the Empire's few formidable generals, but unfortunately, he died too young and had no heir."

"Father, are you talking about the ancient martial arts grandmaster Lei Zu"

Yes, not many people remember him now. I hope Lianyi can restore Lei Zu's former glory.

As soon as General Du's voice fell, ripples had already absorbed the bolt of lightning into the purple crystal embedded in the hilt of Lei Yao Sword. Then he sheathed his sword into his intelligent brain space and jogged to the three people, smiling:

"Grandfather, I love this gift so much. It really gives me an edge. I'm confident I'll pass the military academy entrance exam with flying colors. I won't disgrace the Du family."

"Haha! Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news."

Five days later, Du Zi Feng personally drove a flying car to take Lian Yi to the Empire's First Military Academy for the entrance exam.

After the car came to a stop, Du Zi Feng and Lian Yi got out together. They ran into Wu Yishan and Wu Lianbo at the door.e troops were present.There's no wall that wind can't blow through. Even if Zhang Xuetao hid it well, rumors still spread, and even a blurry photo of him on a date with Yun Siyu appeared in a little-k...
