It must be said that the breakfast provided free of charge by Kyushu Budokan was quite delicious. Shizuma, who had just made a breakthrough, ate eight large bowls in one go. Fortunately, it was a buffet, so he didn't have to face the strange looks from others.
After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Qian, who appeared to be a beginner martial artist, went to a nearby shopping mall before taking a rickety public tram to school.
"The way the system controls power is truly perverse. Although my body is constantly absorbing these memories, it is far from being as refined as the system."
As he processed the memories of last night's system-based body training, he gently twitched his muscles, trying to simulate the process.
Full-body strength and explosive power are two completely different concepts. According to textbooks, the explosive power that an average person can exert after systematic training can reach about 70% to 80% of their full-body strength.
However, under the system's control, he can unleash almost 100% of his full power.
As he replayed his memories, he was shocked to find that "he" had easily crossed the line of a quasi-martial artist, and had even surpassed the threshold of 150kg and 10s for a beginner martial artist.
"There are still more than two months until the college entrance examination. At the current rate of progress, I'm almost certain to get the physical fitness score. Next, I need to figure out how to improve my academic score."
Shen Qian frowned and began to ponder another question.
However, he already had some ideas in mind. For example, he would first formulate a scientific and meticulous study plan. As for how to formulate this plan, since everyone has their own expertise, it would be safest to ask a top student for help.
It's a pity that Ding Yi has already left, but it doesn't matter. Class 109 doesn't have many outstanding talents in martial arts, but it has quite a few top students in humanities.
...
With 10 minutes to go before the bell rang, Shen Qian walked into classroom 109.
After settling into his seat and putting down his backpack, Zhou Xu glanced at Shen Qian with some surprise, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhou Xu staring at him, Shen Qian touched his face in confusion. Could there be something dirty on his face?
That shouldn't be the case; he clearly took a shower after the massage.
“Chen Qian, you’ve changed a lot lately. Your skin looks better, and you seem to have become… more upright, yes, inexplicably more upright.” Zhou Xu thought for a moment and carefully chose a suitable word.
Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment, then roughly understood where his changes came from.
It's just that his physical fitness has improved too quickly lately.
Eliminating impurities, increasing strength, improving blood circulation, and boosting energy... all of these can significantly enhance a person's vitality and spirit.
That's why they say people who practice martial arts aren't ugly.
Putting everything else aside, their temperament alone is certainly not lacking.
However, most people change gradually over a longer period of time, so it's not as obvious as it was for him.
"Heh, I've always been this handsome. It's just that jealousy blinded you before."
"Bullshit! If that were true, why wouldn't I be jealous of you now?" Zhou Xu sneered.
“Everyone has to face reality eventually. My son has finally grown up,” Shen Qian said with relief.
"……roll!"
"Where's Lao Wang?" Shen Qian looked at Wang Yangming's empty seat with a puzzled expression. In his memory, this guy always arrived at the classroom twenty minutes early. He was Lao Wang, who was never late and was incredibly reliable.
"It seems he took leave. He popped up in the class group last night and even posted a picture of the hospital, but he didn't say what the reason was, and then he disappeared," Zhou Xu said casually.
Shen Qian nodded, thinking that the medication was probably taking effect; the pain was indeed easy to misunderstand.
Since it hurts, it means the stamina potion is still effective for him. It's just unknown how much of an effect the diluted stamina potion will have.
While there was still some time left in class, Shen Qian took out paper and pen, went to the front row of the classroom, and found Zhang Liangwei, who was loudly discussing with two girls whether there were any extraordinary beings in China before the catastrophe.
Zhang Liangwei, whose liberal arts scores were comparable to Ding Yi's, was naturally the first choice for Shenqian after Ding Yi left.
Zhang Liangwei, the "tool man," was quite perceptive. Seeing Chen Qian approach, he immediately abandoned the two girls, glanced at Chen Qian, and asked, "What's up?"
"have."
Shen Qian pulled Zhang Liangwei aside and explained his demands.
"So you're giving up on martial arts and preparing to specialize in humanities?" Zhang Liangwei glanced at Shen Qian in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, it's a bit too late for you to realize this now. To be honest, I don't think I can offer you much help..."
Zhang Liangwei's voice stopped abruptly because Shen Qian handed him two fancy cards.
"Prepaid cards for 'Succubus Cafe Online'?"
Zhang Liangwei glanced at it, his expression immediately turned serious, and after looking around, he quietly stuffed the two game cards into his pocket.
"We're all classmates, I'll definitely do my best to help you."
As he spoke, Zhang Liangwei pulled Shen Qian down to sit, "Tell me about your situation first."
So Shen told him the results of the last diagnostic test.
"From 400 to 500 points in two months... that's almost impossible. But for the sake of our friendship, I'll help you create a detailed study plan. As for the final result, I can't guarantee it."
Zhang Liangwei frowned after listening, but still took the paper and pen and began to help Shen Qian analyze the situation.
"Your situation isn't too severe in terms of subject imbalance, but the biggest problem is that you're somewhat weak in every subject. In terms of efficiency, we should start with humanities subjects, because these are subjects that can be significantly improved with time. As for STEM subjects, I'll use my own experience to give you some quick and effective methods..."
The two game cards were quite valuable, costing Shen Qian a total of 300 yuan, which was not cheap for a senior high school student. So the effect was immediate. Throughout the morning self-study session, Zhang Liangwei did his best to help Shen Qian come up with ideas.
After the morning self-study session ended, I received a long page of study plans and also took some of Zhang Liangwei's study notes. I'm ready to start my arduous journey.
However, when he returned to his seat, he discovered another small problem.
That is, many of his textbooks have been lost.
That was easy to solve. After rummaging through the drawers on Wang Yangming and Zhou Xu's desks, they managed to gather most of the items.
"Shenqian, are you going to start studying humanities?"
Seeing Chen Qian pick up the first semester of high school Chinese history textbook and even open his notebook, Zhou Xu looked surprised.
"Um."
He answered with a nasal tone before speaking.
"It's time to give up these pointless fantasies. My situation is the most painful. There's still a sliver of hope in martial arts, and my parents won't allow me to give up..."
Ignoring Zhou Xu's slightly Versailles-esque rambling, Chen Qian eagerly plunged into the ocean of knowledge.
Chen Qian spent the entire morning memorizing key points of Chinese history from Zhang Liangwei's notes during all four classes. He even skipped the outdoor physical education class in the third period. Fortunately, with the college entrance examination approaching, the teachers' supervision was not so strict anymore.
After a morning had passed, Shen Qian slowly closed his textbook and let out a soft breath, his eyes sparkling with thoughtful light.
He made an unexpected discovery.
