28: Cultivation level breaks through!

What did she just hear?

Liao Zhongyang said Shen Bei did Stance Training for three hours?

At this moment, Professor Gu Xinrou's eyes suddenly changed, with shock, confusion, disbelief, and other emotions swirling in her deep eyes.

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

Three hours—that requires extremely high attributes as a foundation to achieve.

And Shen Bei's last test showed an attribute value of only 42 points!

He was just an ordinary, unremarkable student.

How could he do Stance Training for three hours?

Even three minutes would be a struggle!

As Professor Gu Xinrou was shocked, she suddenly remembered the situation this morning.

At that time, she was extremely annoyed and angry about Shen Bei Cultivating.

For a moment, she had forgotten.

She had pushed Shen Bei several times but couldn't make him fall.

Isn't this the first layer of Horse Stance, "Stand Firm"?

Professor Gu Xinrou's heart skipped a beat.

She overlooked it!

How could an ordinary person achieve this!

If it weren't for Liao Zhongyang's reminder, she wouldn't have realized that Shen Bei might have undergone a sharp change!

Professor Gu Xinrou's delicate body trembled.

If that's truly the case, Shen Bei has hope of getting into a Martial Arts University!

Then her bet with him...

"Which shade of lipstick should I apply?" Professor Gu Xinrou murmured, her cheeks flushed.

"Teacher? Is Teacher saying lipstick is the secret to rapid Cultivation?"

Liao Zhongyang asked blankly.

"Ah~~~!!"

Professor Gu Xinrou's expression panicked, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no, a misunderstanding, I was just Divided Soul."

"Ahem." Professor Gu Xinrou regained her cold demeanor and said, "Well... although I did guide Shen Bei, it was all conventional techniques, yes, conventional techniques. Shen Bei himself is quite outstanding."

Liao Zhongyang and Qi Chuanyu exchanged glances.

They felt that what Professor Gu Xinrou said was untrue.

Of course, this untruth didn't mean Professor Gu Xinrou was holding back techniques.

Rather, she hadn't guided Shen Bei at all.

Shen Bei being able to do Stance Training for over three hours was because he himself was amazing!

The three chatted for a while longer.

Then the two bid farewell and left.

And now, Professor Gu Xinrou was completely stunned.

Who would have thought that Shen Bei, the student she least favored, would suddenly rise to the occasion?

And all this time, she was kept in the dark!

"You little rascal!" Professor Gu Xinrou's expression subtly changed, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes: "You want to play a surprise attack with me, do you?"

Professor Gu Xinrou immediately pulled out her phone and started searching:

How to kiss?

Do you breathe when kissing?

Do you use your tongue when kissing?

What to do about drooling?

What's the best kissing duration?

...

Professor Gu Xinrou read, her face flushed and heart pounding.

Just then.

Jian Tong called out from the side: "Teacher Gu, can you guide me?"

"No time!"

Professor Gu Xinrou flatly refused.

Don't interrupt my learning!

Jian Tong: ...

...

Over the next period of time.

Professor Gu Xinrou wanted to talk to Shen Bei to probe his background.

But strangely...

These days, Shen Bei didn't even come to school to clock in.

He was nowhere to be found all day.

Professor Gu Xinrou even asked Jian Tong if she had seen Shen Bei.

But Jian Tong shook her head, saying she hadn't seen Shen Bei for several days either.

In the past, it wasn't uncommon for Shen Bei to skip classes for a few days.

But now the Martial Arts Exam was approaching!

This guy was still playing hide-and-seek!

Annoyed, Professor Gu Xinrou stopped looking, deciding to let him do as he pleased.

Meanwhile, Shen Bei hadn't been idle these days.

Every day, besides working, he was tempering his Qi and blood and doing Stance Training.

Without the distraction of studying, without the "harassment" of women, Shen Bei's Cultivation progress was incredibly fast!

"Horse Stance, Stance Training like riding a horse..."

"Spine like a Dragon, form like a pile (stake), steps light as a cat..."

The key principles from the book echoed in Shen Bei's mind repeatedly.

Stance Training, it's easy to practice if you say so.

It's hard to practice if you say so, some people don't get the hang of it for years.

At this moment, after Liao Zhongyang's guidance and several days of long Stance Training, Shen Bei was already proficient and moved freely.

You know, the effect of Stance Training for two hours versus three hours is not a simple 1+1.

It's 1x1!

This is also why Liao Zhongyang felt sour.

Martial Artists dare to strive for first place.

For everything!

Including "time"!

Someone else's one day of Cultivation is more effective than a month's worth of Cultivation.

Who wouldn't feel sour?

Who wouldn't be jealous?

Under these circumstances.

On the eighth day before the Martial Arts Exam countdown.

Shen Bei achieved a Breakthrough in the second layer of Horse Stance, "Stand Solid."

His feet were like roots, firmly planted in the earth!

On the fifth day before the Martial Arts Exam countdown.

Shen Bei successfully reached the third layer, "Stand Empty."

Only at this layer does one truly become an unmoving figure.

If Professor Gu Xinrou were to try a sweeping kick now, Shen Bei wouldn't fall so easily.

This was the result.

This was the achievement.

This was the accomplishment!

At this point, Shen Bei's Stance Training concluded.

At the same time, his Qi and blood tempering also reached its ceiling.

In other words, Shen Bei was now just one step away from becoming a Martial Artist.

That was acquiring a Martial Skill!

This was more difficult to accomplish.

One needed to be admitted to a Martial Arts University to obtain it.

Shen Bei, at this moment, was no longer anxious.

Because there was something more important to do.

That was...

Replenish the fallen attributes.

Shen Bei had no way of knowing how many attributes he had lost during these days of Cultivation.

He also hadn't recorded how many attributes he earned from intermittent work.

Because there was no need.

Shen Bei refused to believe that his attribute values could be as bad as the A-share market, only falling and never rising?

There were still five days left.

He just needed to work hard and activate the daily settlement panel.

...

One day before the college entrance examination.

Shen Bei, riding an electric bike and wearing a yellow robe, appeared at the school gate of First High School as school let out.

He just caught Jian Tong walking out of school.

Shen Bei grabbed her: "Come on, let's go to your house, I need to fix something for you—"

Before he could finish, Jian Tong's face flushed, and she immediately interrupted: "So urgent? Tomorrow is the Martial Arts Exam, and you can't even wait for that?"

"Nonsense, after the Martial Arts Exam it'll be too late!"

Jian Tong lowered her eyes, kicking pebbles on the ground, and said indifferently: "My dad is home."

"It's precisely in front of your dad!"

Shen Bei said anxiously.

If your dad isn't home, and we're alone, it would be hard to explain if we were caught.

Jian Tong's face instantly changed, and she swung her backpack, hitting him: "Shen Bei, you scoundrel, have you no shame!"

Shen Bei was stunned by the blow and said: "No, I just wanted to adjust your family's testing equipment. How am I a scoundrel?"

"Ah?"

Jian Tong was surprised for a moment, then glared with her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes and sternly scolded: "Next time, explain yourself clearly! Wasting my feelings!"

Crazy!

Shen Bei rolled his eyes; after a few days, Jian Tong was acting up again.

Then.

The two rode their electric scooter, weaving through the streets.

Shen Bei would occasionally brake suddenly, causing Jian Tong, who was sitting behind, to lean forward involuntarily due to inertia.

Her soft, fair chest pressed tightly against Shen Bei's back.

Jian Tong became even more embarrassed, scrunching her nose, hitting Shen Bei, and pouting fiercely: "Can you ride properly?"

Shen Bei sighed: "It's rush hour, lots of cars and people, so sudden braking is necessary. Can you blame me?"

"You're taking advantage of me, and you even have a reason? And you're blaming me?"

Jian Tong said, a cold glint trembling in her eyes.

Shen Bei's expression became awkward. He looked back at Jian Tong, then grinned, smiling like an old fox:

"You should be happy, you're above the rest, how many girls envy you."

Jian Tong immediately lost it, her face full of anger: "Stop the car! I'm not riding anymore! You big bad guy!"

Shen Bei let out a strange chuckle and twisted the throttle to the maximum.

Against the afterglow of the setting sun, his riding skills were perfect, speeding like the wind and lightning, making the owners of luxury cars stuck in traffic incredibly envious.

Of course, they weren't envious of the electric scooter being fast and agile.

Instead, they envied the youth, the handsome boy with a foolishly smiling girl behind him.

That was their lost youth.

Upon arriving at Jian Tong's house.

Shen Bei entered as if it were his own home, running faster than Jian Tong.

He ran right into Jian Shan.

"Hello, Father-in-law!"

"Father-in-law my foot!" Jian Shan's face was cold, his attitude not as before, and he loudly questioned:

"I heard you started Cultivating early?"
