“I have an idea, Xue’er!” Luo Fei joyfully said to his sister.

“I remember that the Thunder Dojo’s specialty is their speed. They’re especially fanatic about people who are talented and are able to run at high speeds. As long as I have the speed of an intermediate-level martial artist, the Thunder Dojo will definitely appreciate my value. They might even offer to protect my family!” Luo Fei’s face lit up with excitement.

For ordinary humans, it would be a tough row to achieve the speed of an intermediate-level martial artist disciple. However, at Luo Fei’s level, it would be extremely simple! His speed should have at least reached 130m/s or 140m/s. His speed had increased greatly while he was escaping with Luo Xue earlier.

The Automatic Improvement System’s notifications had indicated at least two points were added every time he ran and it seemed that his speed had yet to reach its limit. As long as he ran with all his might, he would gain even more points. In other words, he was already approaching the speed level of a mid-level martial artist who could achieve at least 300 m/s. 

Previously, he was only focused on escaping and did not put much emphasis on estimating his speed limit. Based on the frequency of the notifications from the system, he would have heard a notification of ‘Speed +2’ so long as he ran for about three to four minutes.

‘If my speed increased by two points in three minutes, I would have obtained 40 points of speed in an hour and 400 points of speed in ten hours. Hence, if I ran for twenty-four hours, I would have a total of 960 points of speed. Today I ran for about three hours since I left the academy, and I took half an hour to pack up my things at home. 

‘Wow! By this deduction, my speed has doubled today! My speed should have been in sync with my strength yesterday, which was at 100 m/s!’

Luo Fei was completely shocked by his results. His current speed should have exceeded 200 m/s.

‘My calculations are very prudent. So if I were to run at full speed, my speed should increase by three or four points at short intervals. Hence, this would mean that I would only need at most two hours for my speed to be on par with the level of a mid-level martial artist.’

Gasp!

Luo Fei made a sound as he sucked in a breath of cold air through gritted teeth. He knew that the system was remarkable, but after his rough deduction, he realized that the system was beyond remarkable and out of his imagination! It turned out that his attribute improvements while he ran were not an illusion. It was real. At this moment, Luo Fei was glad that he had paid attention in his mathematics class back then.

Luo Xue who sensed the unusual excitement from Luo Fei, could not help but reach out her hands and gently stroke her brother’s forehead. She knew that her brother had to slow down because of her. Otherwise, Luo Fei could have escaped much faster without the need to care for her. After all, she knew that her brother had just reached adulthood and this wasn’t easy for him! At this moment, Luo Xue’s heart filled up with guilt.

Luo Xue wasn’t a young and naive girl who didn’t know the ways of the world. She knew how difficult it was for Luo Fei to achieve the speed of an intermediate-level martial artist within a short period of time. This accomplishment was even more difficult to achieve than being promoted from a disciple to a martial artist. 

Everyone on this planet knew that it was difficult for martial artists to increase their own speed. Perhaps for some people, it would even be considered an impossible task! Her brother had probably undermined his own abilities in the heat of escaping.

“What are you doing! Let go of me! I am fine!” Luo Fei playfully smacked his sister’s small hand away and laughed loudly. The pressure from escaping the whole day was instantly swept away. 

Although Luo Xue couldn’t see the big laughter on Luo Fei’s face, she could feel his joy. Somehow, she felt that he was about to disclose something to her but eventually changed his mind about it. She concluded her brother was too exhausted from the escape and was probably hallucinating. 

Not knowing what his sister was in his sister’s mind, Luo Fei took out his phone and looked up the map of Base No. 38 to confirm the route to the Ultimate Dojo. Their base was huge, and it was segregated into four different regions. Luo Fei was currently in the West part of the base where commoners lived, while the dojos were mostly in the North.

Therefore, based on his current speed and after he considered Luo Xue’s physical conditions and feelings, one hour would be more than enough for him to reach the dojo. However, he could easily reach the speed of an intermediate-level martial artist if he were a little more patient during the dojo’s assessment.

After a while, he placed down his phone and said to Luo Xue, “Let’s go, we should continue on our journey! Let’s go to the Ultimate Dojo!”

Luo Xue was about to mutter something when her brother interrupted her. She tilted her head when she sensed Luo Fei’s fighting spirit and thought to herself, ‘I guess Brother would need to join a dojo after all. Apart from his intentions to protect me, we were indeed thinking about the same thing.’ 

Thus, Luo Xue suppressed all her thoughts and nodded obediently. However, she secretly felt powerless. She did not doubt her brother’s abilities, and she believed he had the speed of an intermediate-level martial artist. Hence, she remained quiet because she did not want to spoil his enthusiasm.

Luo Fei asked Luo Xue to hold onto him tightly as he embraced her and used his loose clothes to tightly wrap around her.

“Xue’er, please endure the suffering for a little longer. Our hard days will be over soon!

“I will cure your eyes and make you see again so that you can watch me reach the pinnacle of the martial arts world with your own eyes!” Stroking his sister’s silky hair, Luo Fei said adoringly and solemnly promised. 

“Brother…” Luo Xue’s heart felt warm from her brother’s words and her tears welled up.

If she wasn’t a burden to her brother, he would certainly be better off and became one of the strongest martial artists in this generation considering his current abilities and his hard work. Without her around, he would be more outstanding!

The more she thought about it, the more difficult it was for her to control her tears. Suddenly, Luo Fei noticed that something was not right with his sister and immediately comforted her. “My dear sister, we are now escaping from danger, why are you crying? Everything will be fine, don’t you have faith in your brother?”

Muacks!

Just when Luo Fei wanted to comfort his sister again, Luo Xue suddenly leaned in and kissed him on his cheek. Luo Fei was stunned as he felt the softness of his sister’s lips on his cheek and softly inhaled her refreshing fragrance.

“Hmph! How old are you? Why are you still crying! Hold on to me tightly!” Luo Fei suppressed the lust in his heart and rolled his eyes. He immediately followed the route that he had memorized and dashed forward.

‘Raspberries!’

Luo Xue shyly hid into her brother’s embrace without saying anything. Luo Fei was suddenly in a very good mood as he felt the breeze blowing in his face. 

“As long as I’m alive, I can make a difference! I, Luo Fei, must live a life worthy of praise!” His heart swelled with pride.

No one knew that the story of the most powerful martial artist of the generation had just begun.

‘Ding! Speed +3.’

‘Ding! Speed +4’

‘Ding! Speed +3’

‘Ding! Strength +2’

…

The pleasant sound of notifications rang continuously in his ears. Luo Fei felt as if he were a bird flying in the sky. Waves of warm current continuously flowed through his body, into his limbs and bones, which increased his speed and strength.

…

Meanwhile, in the Cultivation Academy dean’s office, a young man who was dressed in a suit and tie was sweating profusely. His face was stiff and awkward as he stood in front of the dean.

“Dean, we’ve searched everywhere! I sent guards to his house, but the boy had already left!”

The dean’s face turned furious as he heard the young man’s report. “What have all of you been doing? You couldn’t even capture one single disciple with an army of guards! Use the surveillance cameras and any other resources that you need! You must find him! Otherwise…”

A ringtone interrupted the dean before he could finish his sentence. He picked his phone up, and his expression changed immediately..
