Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 266 Midterm Examination

As Lin Yue spoke, she reached out and touched his forehead.

Li Yuetian was startled by her actions and involuntarily took a step back.

This step back was disastrous. Since he was already not very stable, this move caused him to lose his balance and he was about to fall to the ground.

Lin Yue reacted quickly and grabbed Li Yuetian, thus preventing a "tragedy" from happening.

"Are you some delicate, fragile young lady who could be pushed over at any moment?" Lin Yue said irritably. "You seem perfectly normal usually, so why are you acting so strange today?"

Lin Yue felt somewhat helpless. Li Yuetian's academic performance was so good, but his learning ability in this area seemed to be a bit poor. Moreover, she wasn't as firm as Li Yuetian was when he taught her, yet she couldn't bring herself to be strict with him.

After Li Yuetian regained his footing, he stammered, "I...I'm just a little nervous." Lin Yue looked at him suspiciously, "Okay, relax, let's continue practicing." As she spoke, she went over to help him adjust his movements.

This time, Li Yuetian tried his best to calm himself down, but the faint fragrance emanating from Lin Yue wafted into his nose, and his heart began to beat wildly again.

Actually, he had a slightly wicked idea. He deliberately adopted the wrong posture, hoping that Lin Yue would touch him. As a result, he almost fell.

Li Yuetian took a deep breath, forcing himself to concentrate. Lin Yue's hand was still on his waist, the warmth of her fingertips seeping through the thin clothing, making him feel hot all over. But this time, he didn't deliberately distract himself, instead focusing all his energy on the key points of the movements.

After several rounds of practice, his movements became increasingly fluid. Lin Yue finally smiled and said, "You've made some progress! Looks like you're not so stupid after all."

Li Yuetian wiped the sweat from his forehead and revealed a smug smile: "Of course! Compared to you, your learning efficiency is far inferior when I tutor you!"

Lin Yue was speechless for a moment. She pouted a little embarrassedly and muttered, "Yes, yes, you talk too much! I wasn't used to it at first, but I improved a lot later, didn't I?"

Looking at Lin Yue's adorable pouty face, Li Yuetian couldn't help but chuckle and tease, "Yes, yes, Lin Yue's progress in the dream is indeed quite fast! But don't forget what you promised."

Hearing Li Yuetian say this, Lin Yue suddenly remembered that she had promised him during winter break that she would get her grades back to average for the midterm exams. If she failed, she was sure to get a spanking from Li Yuetian!

She couldn't deny it; the written guarantee was still given to Li Yuetian by her, and there was no way to deny it in black and white.

Lin Yue glared at Li Yuetian angrily: "You still bring this up! I can definitely do it, just you wait and see! As for you, if you keep being so clumsy in combat, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

As she spoke, she casually punched a tree to the side, punching a hole right through it!

Li Yuetian took a step back in fear: "Okay, okay, I'll try my best to learn, alright?"

But as soon as he stopped, he couldn't help but steal glances at Lin Yue's profile. Sunlight shone on the ends of her slightly curled hair, giving it a soft golden hue, and even the tips of her ears were tinged with a faint blush. He suddenly felt that even if he were beaten up ten or eight times on an afternoon like this, it would be worth it.

Li Yuetian's gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Yue's taut side waist. She was currently throwing punches at the air, each strike kicking up a cloud of dust, making him tremble with fear, as if silently proclaiming her power.

Yet this same person was scratching his head over trigonometric functions on a math exam, repeatedly memorizing even the most basic formulas... Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on Li Yuetian's lips, a smile that held a hint of expectation.

"What are you looking at!" Lin Yue suddenly turned around, her bangs sticking to her cheeks with sweat, and glared at him fiercely. "Watch the moves carefully! Still laughing? If you laugh again, believe me, I'll hang you up!" As she spoke, she picked up a large rock next to her with one hand and easily twirled it twice with her fingers, scaring Li Yuetian into retreating.

"No, I wasn't laughing!" He hurriedly waved his hand, but quickly suppressed his flirtatious thoughts and said seriously, "But seriously, the monthly exam is in a month. How's your studying going lately?"

Li Yuetian's words made Lin Yue pause. She subconsciously clenched her fist, but accidentally crushed the stone. Looking at the broken stone in her hand, Lin Yue awkwardly let go, and the shards fell down.

He had just reprimanded the other person for laughing, but now he couldn't hold back anymore—after all, the bet was clearly written in black and white, and if he didn't reach his goal by the midterm exams…

"Review? Humph, I don't need to review!" She stubbornly insisted, but secretly turned on her phone screen and glanced at the math error notebook she had just completed yesterday—the red crosses were glaring.

She suddenly found Li Yuetian's "worried" look particularly irritating. "Don't worry, it's just a monthly exam. The midterm exam is still a long way off. I'm sure I can do it." She shook her long hair, which was stuck together with sweat, and casually threw the gravel on the ground.

"As for you, with your fighting skills improved to this extent, I'll have to do extra training later." As she spoke, she suddenly closed in and made a feint with her fingertips in front of Li Yuetian's eyes. The latter was so frightened that he took half a step back and his back hit a tree trunk.

“Extra training is fine, but we should always balance work and rest.” He deliberately lowered his voice, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yue’s collarbone, which was heaving from exercise. “How about… we take a break first? I brought some drinks.” Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, about to refuse, but then she caught sight of the milk he took out of his bag—it was her favorite brand.

Her throat tightened, her momentum instantly diminished by a third, and she snatched the bottle, taking a large gulp as the cool, sweet taste slid down her throat. Despite being a bookworm, she actually had some emotional intelligence.

"Okay, let's rest for ten minutes." She sat down on the concrete block, stretching her long legs out casually, her trouser legs rolled up to reveal her sharply defined ankles.

Li Yuetian also took out a bottle of beverage.

His fingers twirled repeatedly on the plastic cap, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He frowned slightly; why did this drink seem tighter than usual?

Lin Yue laughed: "Are you really that useless? You can't even open a bottle cap?" She casually crushed the empty bottle, and the aluminum can made a crisp sound of deformation in her palm.

Li Yuetian's face flushed red. No, this was a man's dignity! He defiantly increased the force, but the lid didn't budge!

Lin Yue was too lazy to watch him struggle. She reached out and snatched the bottle, flicking the edge of the cap twice with her fingertips. With a crisp "click," the cap came off neatly as if it had been cut open by a sharp blade.

"Wow!" Li Yuetian's mouth dropped open. He had embarrassed himself again today.

She shook the bottle, the clear liquid rippling in the sunlight: "With that kind of strength, you probably couldn't even tear my exercise book."

She returned the drink to Li Yuetian, while also considering other things.

Compared to her, Li Yuetian's strength was like a drop of water compared to the ocean. Her strength was mostly due to her internal energy, and had little to do with her fighting ability.

Her true energy is unique and cannot be passed on to others. Moreover, if other people retain her true energy, it will harm their bodies. So what should she do?

Lin Yue shook the beverage bottle in her hand, a sly smile flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly stood up and patted Li Yuetian's shoulder: "You must be tired after training for so long. Come on, let's go back to the room. I'll give you a massage to relax your muscles—that way, you won't get beaten up too badly during the extra training this afternoon."

Li Yuetian froze, his cheeks instantly turning bright red. A massage? A man and a woman alone in a room... His throat tightened, "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Lin Yue pushed him, "Oh, I don't care at all, why are you being so stubborn? Hurry up, hurry up!"

Li Yuetian didn't dare refuse Lin Yue's kindness. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded as if possessed and followed Lin Yue to her house.

After entering the room, Lin Yue gestured for him to close his eyes and lie on the edge of the bed. Then, she knocked him unconscious with a single slap!

"Sleep," Lin Yue said softly, a wisp of true energy gathering at her fingertips. This wisp of energy seeped into Li Yuetian's meridians like a snake; too much of it would burst an ordinary person's body! She closed her eyes and focused her mind, using her inner strength to travel along his meridians—from his dantian to his limbs, every inch of his muscles was tempered by the true energy.
