However, in the next second.
A new problem arose.
He suddenly thought...
The Imperial Capital is landlocked!
There’s no sea!
"What should I do?"
Lin Beichen was stunned for a moment, but soon, he realized that he had only been practicing this leg technique for about a week.
And also...
He had discovered a method to train even faster, and he was already preparing for it.
In other words, as long as he worked diligently, he could push the limits of these two traditional martial arts within a little more than a week.
"Just a week..."
"If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask for another leave!"
"I’ll go train by the sea near the Imperial Capital."

Lin Beichen made up his mind instantly, planning to ask his guidance counselor for leave.
But before asking for leave.
He had something else to do.
He had to test the power of his legs, which had just reached their limit!
He first packed these martial arts manuals into a box, then placed four large briefcases in a hidden spot in the gymnasium and walked out to the grove behind the gym.
This grove, because of its location.
Was in a place where no one came, and no one maintained it.
Weeds grew abundantly.
"Swoosh—"
With a rustling sound.
Lin Beichen walked through the weeds in the grove, finally stopping in front of a tree.
This tree was around twenty centimeters thick.
Its age was not very old.
It was of average size in the entire grove.
"This one will do."
A move from the Shaolin Twelve-Legged Spring Kicks instantly came to mind.
Then, he immediately performed it.
In an instant!
He felt both his legs turn into two steel-like limbs, brimming with power.
Without the slightest hesitation.
He kicked the tree in front of him...
"Bang—!!"
"Crack—!"
A dull thud and a crisp cracking sound rang out almost simultaneously.
The entire small tree started to tilt from the spot where it was kicked, and after a moment, it fell to the ground with a heavy crash, raising a cloud of dust and startling the nearby birds.
The breaking point was exactly where he had kicked.
The break was jagged, almost looking like it had been gnawed by a dog.
Seeing this, Lin Beichen’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but look down at his leg. Aside from a slight red mark where it had contacted the trunk, there were no other changes, no abrasions, no swelling.
"If I had used my full strength with that kick..."
"The whole tree would probably have been cut off immediately, right?"
He had a clear understanding of the power of his legs, and without further delay, he headed straight for his guidance counselor’s office.
Sixth teaching building, third floor, guidance counselor’s office.
Lin Beichen stood at the doorway and gently knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
"Come in."
The counselor’s voice came from inside the office.
Lin Beichen opened the door and entered.
Seeing him, the counselor broke into a bright smile and asked, "Lin Beichen, what brings you here, do you need something?"
"Yes, counselor, I need something."
Lin Beichen gave a shy smile and said, "I’d like to request a week’s leave."
"?????"
The counselor’s smile instantly froze on her face; she still vividly remembered the pressure she had endured after Lin Beichen’s last leave!
It hasn’t been that long since the last leave, right?
And now another leave?
Moreover...
Another subtle period of a week?
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the rope.
She was really worried now.
"Well... Lin Beichen, I’ll have to think about this leave request. You go back first."
"Counselor, this time won’t be like the last time."
Lin Beichen naturally knew what the counselor was worried about. He raised three fingers to the sky and quickly promised, "I guarantee my phone will be on 24 hours, and I’ll be reachable at any time."
After saying that, he smiled and said, "Counselor, please approve my leave!"
"This..."
The counselor was somewhat swayed by his words, but remembering past experience, she didn’t agree immediately and said, "I need to consult the principal."
With that, she took out her phone and called Principal Hao Jianhua.
The phone rang for a long time.
Hao Jianhua finally picked up.
The counselor promptly reported, "Principal, I need to discuss something with you."
"What is it?"
"It’s about Lin Beichen."
The counselor glanced at Lin Beichen, who was watching her expectantly, and continued, "He’s here asking for a week’s leave. He promises to keep his phone on and not to repeat the last incident. Should I approve his request?"
"What?!"
From the other end of the line, Hao Jianhua’s eyebrows furrowed instantly as he thought about the commotion Lin Beichen had caused during his last leave. It gave him a headache just thinking about it.
"Let Lin Beichen take the call."
"Alright."
The counselor handed the phone to Lin Beichen, who took it politely and said, "Hello, Principal."
"Lin Beichen."
Hearing Lin Beichen’s voice, the principal’s tone softened somewhat. "Why do you need to leave? Is something wrong with practicing at the school? If you need space or anything else, just ask, and I can approve it. But taking leave... let’s avoid that."
"Principal, what I need isn’t available at the school."
Lin Beichen pulled a bitter face and directly said, "I need to go to the seaside. My upcoming cultivation research requires being by the sea."
Cultivation??
Hao Jianhua didn’t believe in such things at all. Hearing this, he had an ominous feeling that this kid was going to cause more trouble outside!
