21: It's easier for me to get into Wuhan University than for you.

Following the teaching process of First High School, mornings were dedicated to liberal arts courses.

This so-called “liberal arts” was relative to Martial Arts.

It included subjects like mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Even though this was a high-martial world, technology was still developing.

The foundation of science was mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and these courses absolutely could not be abandoned.

In the afternoon, the curriculum would diverge.

Liberal arts students would continue their studies.

Martial Arts students, however, would go to the Martial Artist-specific building, which was the gymnasium, to participate in training.

Here, Martial Arts referred to students whose four-dimensional attributes reached or were close to 60 points, and who had hopes of getting into a martial arts university.

For Martial Arts students, to further uncover their attribute points, besides taking medicine, they needed to train.

It was the same principle as wanting to run fast; lying down certainly wouldn't work; one had to frequently practice sprinting, constantly surpass oneself, and activate more potential.

At this time, First High School Martial Arts students were all coming out of their classrooms.

They walked together to the gymnasium.

Jian Tong, along with several other Martial Arts students from her class, simultaneously got up and headed to the gymnasium.

Shen Bei also stood up and swaggered along behind them.

“Hey, hey?”

Jian Tong reached out and pressed her hand against Shen Bei’s chest, raising an eyebrow: “What are you doing?”

“Is it okay?”

“Shen Bei!”

“Uh, I mean, I’m going to the gymnasium.”

Jian Tong nodded slightly, letting out a soft laugh: “I know your attributes aren’t far off, but as my father said, it’s not too late to go to the gymnasium once you’re sure you can reach 60 points; otherwise, it’s a waste of money.”

Shen Bei naturally understood.

Although First High School’s gymnasium was self-built for Martial Arts students to temper their bodies, not every student could have their own gym.

Moreover, the school's fitness equipment was far superior to what commercial gyms offered.

Naturally, there was a fee.

It cost 300 yuan per entry, and an annual pass was a bit cheaper.

Don’t complain it’s expensive; Martial Arts students even found it cheap.

After all, there were Martial Artist teachers providing guidance inside.

The saying “poor in liberal arts, rich in martial arts” was no joke.

Shen Bei coughed: “I’m not short on money; I just want to go in and learn.”

Jian Tong pouted, feeling that Shen Bei was acting a bit out of character.

He was a student who clearly disliked classes, whether liberal arts or Martial Arts, yet he suddenly wanted to go to the gymnasium.

Was something fishy going on?

Suddenly, Jian Tong remembered something.

She composed her expression, stood perfectly still, her posture impeccable. Her face, however, showed an expression of having seen right through Shen Bei:

“I think you have ulterior motives; you just want to go in and feast your eyes, right?”

Shen Bei chuckled: “Feast my eyes? Do Martial Arts students put on fancy performances in there?”

Jian Tong snorted: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Martial Arts isn’t just for boys; there are girls too.”

This reminder made Shen Bei’s eyes light up.

That’s right!

Inside the gymnasium, both boys and girls trained together.

Who wears a jacket when training?

It would naturally be more revealing.

One could imagine… Martial Arts girls’ attire would definitely be explosive!

Much more alluring than the gyms in the city!

Tsk tsk…

Shen Bei, like a lit firecracker, shot out directly towards the gymnasium.

Jian Tong: …

She watched Shen Bei’s hurried steps and lightly spat: “He really proved me right!”

“Then I need to dress nicely today; I can’t let other girls outshine me.”

…

Upon entering the gymnasium, Shen Bei immediately felt a huge wave of hormones wash over him.

Many students were already exercising on various fitness machines.

Their training method was pure exercise, not tempering.

Shen Bei wasn’t looking at these; he wanted to see if there were any students here like himself, who dared to Breakthrough to Martial Artist early.

It would be good to learn from them.

Of course, at this moment, Shen Bei was still drawn to some faintly visible young girls in the gymnasium.

Their attire was indeed incredibly revealing.

They were all eighteen-year-old girls, in their prime, each one tender enough to drip water.

Especially the sweat tracing down their necks over their collarbones, coupled with their panting breaths.

Oh my goodness!

What good person could endure such a scene?

It was far more captivating than the seductive women on video platforms.

“This 300 yuan is too worth it!”

Shen Bei licked his lips.

He secretly vowed to work hard and come every day to feast his eyes!

Of course, Shen Bei wasn't simply driven by hormonal impulses.

An old man once said: the secret to extending one's lifespan is looking at beautiful women.

I, Shen Bei, am just getting a head start!

Nothing wrong with that.

However, Shen Bei noticed that the boys training generally didn’t look at the girls’ side.

They were probably afraid of looking bad, right?

“Hey, Shen Bei.”

Someone called out from behind him.

Shen Bei turned his head.

It was Jian Tong.

She had changed into a different outfit.

The top was a tight, waist-cinching athletic top, perfectly outlining her slender waist and ideal chest proportions.

The bottom was tights that tightly hugged her long legs.

Her hair swayed with her delicate head.

In her hand, she carried relatively plain flat shoes, not yet changed.

Shen Bei was momentarily dazed, exclaiming: “An immortal fairy has descended!”

“Stop with the nonsense.”

Jian Tong’s pure, jade-like face instantly flushed, and a sense of shame mixed with dark desire welled up in her heart, making her gaze a bit unfocused.

“I can’t even speak the truth now?” Shen Bei said, a little angry.

Jian Tong smiled beautifully, revealing two rows of neat, pearly teeth: “Alright, alright, whatever you say. Move aside, I need to change my shoes.”

Shen Bei moved his feet to clear the long bench seat.

He gazed at Jian Tong’s flawless, vibrant skin and her slender, well-proportioned figure.

Even more remarkably, her eyes were bright and lively, and with her small, delicate lips that fit the aesthetic preferences of Chinese people, she looked like a stunning sculpture carved from the same mold.

Jian Tong took off her shoes, gently rubbing the tops of her feet with both hands, revealing their unblemished, icy white color, with a beautiful, delicate, pinkish-beige seam visible in the middle.

That smooth, soft arch of her foot made Shen Bei shiver all over.

It was far more impressive than the Deep Sea Titan.

At least, Jian Tong’s tender hands and foot arches could move in conjunction, which would surely bring unexpected pleasure.

Soon, Jian Tong finished changing her shoes and stood up, ready to train.

Shen Bei asked seriously: “Is there nothing else to see here?”

Jian Tong furrowed her brows slightly, thinking, I’ve gone to such lengths, and you still haven’t seen enough?

Jian Tong composed herself and said: “What else are you looking at? Aren’t you satisfied?”

Shen Bei glanced at Jian Tong’s jade-like feet and blinked: “I am satisfied, but there’s no lasting joy.”

“What exactly do you want to say?”

“I mean, besides students exercising their bodies, are there any other students practicing some special techniques or… tempering?”

Jian Tong folded her arms across her chest, asking with an “I knew it” expression: “So you didn’t listen to my warning yesterday, did you? No tempering before the Martial Arts Exam! It will reduce your attribute points!”

Shen Bei waved his hand: “I know, I just want to see if anyone is so bold.”

“There are, actually.” Jian Tong pointed to the second floor: “There are a few up there, but their attribute points are all in excess, so they try to Cultivate early. Or rather, their families are rich, so even if their attribute points drop, they can take medicine to recover them.”

“Then you do your training, and I’ll go up and take a look.”

“Don’t mess around, now.” Jian Tong warned loudly: “If you lose your attribute points and can’t get into a martial arts university, you’ll just have to wait to give me a wedding gift!”

Shen Bei scoffed: “Getting into a martial arts university is easier for me than getting you.”

He then slipped away.

“Shen Bei, you stop right there! I’m going to strangle you, you bastard!”

Jian Tong was about to explode with anger.
