The sun is setting, and night is about to fall.
Outside Tongcheng University, the old restaurant under the banyan tree welcomes and sees off batches of students.
Tonight, the Banyan Tree Restaurant is brightly lit. The three large round tables booked by Class 1 of the Chinese Language Department have been filled with people. Two of the tables are already full, and the other table is half empty.
Xie Feng, Zhu Gan, Fei Bo, and Ma Jianhua sat at the same table.
Xie Feng was looking down at his phone.
"Mengyao, I've saved seats for you and the girls in your dorm. Hurry up and come over!"
Xie Feng sent the edited message to Chu Mengyao with a single click.
Ding-dong.
"No need, we're already on our way!"
...
By 6:30, most of the students in the class had arrived.
Chu Mengyao, Chen Tingting, and other girls sat at a table with Xie Feng. Class monitor Ma Jianhua scanned the group, counting heads.
Chu Mengyao's gaze swept across the crowd, as if searching for something: "Huh, why isn't Zhang Yuan here?"
Ma Jianhua: "Zhang Yuan said he has an upset stomach and won't be coming tonight."
Chu Mengyao gave an "oh" and silently lowered her head, feeling somewhat disappointed.
After counting the heads, Ma Jianhua said, "43 people, everyone is here."
The proprietress is serving the food!
Two more cases of beer, please!
...
In October, the temperature in Tongcheng was already a bit chilly.
Surrounded by beech trees, a group of energetic freshmen were warming up on the rubber basketball court of the School of Humanities. Wang Tao, the coach of the freshman basketball team of the School of Humanities, walked slowly from a distance with a silver whistle in his mouth and a big belly.
"Beep beep!"
Gathered!
Wang Tao blew his whistle, and the dozen or so main players representing the 2021 freshmen basketball team of the School of Humanities stopped their warm-up and shooting practice, and quickly walked to the coach and stood in two rows.
Coach Wang's gaze swept over the group of fresh-faced young people who had just enrolled, and he noticed that there were only 5 people in the second row, one person was missing.
Where is Zhang Yuan?
Why isn't Zhang Yuan here again!
Coach, Zhang Yuan said he has an upset stomach this afternoon and can't train, so he asked me to ask you for leave!
Xie Feng, who was standing at the very front of the first row in the line, said.
When he came to training in the afternoon, he called Zhang Yuan, who then clutched his stomach and said that his stomach was uncomfortable, and told him to consult Coach Wang.
This isn't the first time. I don't know what Zhang Yuan is thinking, he always skips training.
Xie Feng muttered to himself.
"That Zhang Yuan!!"
Coach Wang said with dissatisfaction, "Then let's start the afternoon training session!"
The dozen or so key players and substitutes selected for the college's freshman basketball team were divided into two teams and trained together under Coach Wang's guidance.
...
Meanwhile, in the quiet woods behind Tongcheng University, Zhang Yuan practiced two sets of the Vajra Longevity Exercise before withdrawing his internal energy into his dantian.
Based on the Foundation Establishment Pill formula passed down by Bu Er and Zheng Yang Immortal, the Foundation Establishment Pill he refined was extremely potent and had excellent effects after consumption. It helped Zhang Yuan open two acupoints within a day, and the remaining medicinal power remained in his body for a week before being slowly refined and absorbed.
Because the Foundation Building Pill he took was too large and its effects were too strong, it almost caused Zhang Yuan's meridians to burst. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened in the end.
However, after being baptized by the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhang Yuan's body reached an even higher level.
In particular, after the Dazhui and Yaoyangguan acupoints were opened, his arm strength and waist strength were greatly improved, and his whole body underwent a new qualitative change.
This afternoon, the Wushu Association organized all its members to practice and teach at the gymnasium.
Just then, Zhang Yuan opened two new acupoints and prepared to go to the Martial Arts Association to spar with others and test his current strength.
Zhang Yuan took a path through the woods behind the mountain and circled around to the east side of the college campus, arriving at the gymnasium.
The martial arts association at Tongcheng University has a siphon effect due to the addition of campus beauty Zeng Jingxue, attracting a large number of male students to join the association.
The association's membership increased from 10 to 25 in just 3 days!
In order to improve the teaching quality of Yiquan, Li Hu, the president of the Wushu Association who didn't like to get involved, voluntarily stopped recruiting new members after reaching the 25-member limit; otherwise, the number of members would probably be even greater.
This made those boys who were late to the party and admired Zeng Jingxue regret not knowing about it sooner; now it's too late for them to join.
The opportunity to get close to the goddess was thus missed.
The bright and spacious stadium can accommodate more than twenty people without feeling crowded.
At this moment, ten veteran members of the Wushu Association were instructing newly joined members in practicing Yiquan.
These long-time members never imagined that one day they would be teachers themselves, and their faces beamed with pride.
"Yes, that's it, bend your legs a little more!"
Yes, very good!
Punch harder!
The fifteen new members were divided into groups of two or three, and each group was led by an experienced member for practice.
Among them, Lin Bao, the vice president of the Wushu Association, has the most new members, a total of 5, and Zeng Jingxue is also in Lin Bao's group.
There are three girls in this group of trainees. Besides Zeng Jingxue, there are two other pretty girls who are Zeng Jingxue's classmates and were brought here by Zeng Jingxue.
Zeng Jingxue studied at an art college, which is never short of beautiful women. Therefore, her two classmates were also outstanding in appearance and temperament.
These three girls are currently the only three girls in the Wushu Association!
In Lin Bao's group, besides the three girls, there were two other boys. One of them, a boy with short hair, stood out. He was 1.85 meters tall and was very tall and burly, even taller than Lin Bao.
This boy is named Huang Zheng, and he is also a freshman in the School of Arts this year. He is one of Zeng Jingxue's suitors, but he is not in the same major as Zeng Jingxue. He is one of the few boys who knew that the school beauty Zeng Jingxue had joined the martial arts association and was among the first to join the association.
Zeng Jingxue wore a black tracksuit today, and her jet-black hair was tied up with a hair tie, making her look both cool and beautiful.
After a month of study, Zeng Jingxue had already mastered some Yiquan boxing techniques. At this moment, she had just finished performing a set of boxing techniques. Zeng Jingxue was covered in sweat, and a few fine strands of hair at her temples clung to her fair face.
\"well played!
Jingxue, your boxing skills are getting better and better!
After Zeng Jingxue finished her boxing routine, Huang Zheng clapped and cheered for her enthusiastically.
Huang Zheng speaks loudly, and his praise and applause for Zeng Jingxue immediately attracted the attention of the other boys in the gymnasium.
\"cut!
Simp!
Seeing this, the other boys in the association felt contempt for Huang Zheng.
Most of the boys who joined the martial arts association later did so because of Zeng Jingxue. Many of them were admirers or secret admirers of Zeng Jingxue, including some of the association's long-time members.
Just now, Zeng Jingxue was practicing her boxing, and many boys' eyes were intentionally or unintentionally drawn to her.
Everyone knows Zeng Jingxue's boxing skill level.
To say that he played okay would be so-so, but he certainly didn't play well.
It's not that Zeng Jingxue lacks comprehension or learning ability; girls are naturally weaker, so they have no natural advantage over boys in boxing.
"Jingxue, have some hot water!"
Huang Zheng ran over from the water dispenser with a cup of hot water, while Zeng Xiaohua looked indifferent and said, "Thank you, but I'm not thirsty! You can drink it yourself."
Huang Zheng gave an awkward smile and took back the hot water he had handed out.
"Damn it!"
"You're so shameless!"
"Depend on!"
The other boys in the martial arts association who had a crush on Zeng Jingxue were all secretly complaining to themselves.
However, Huang Zheng was not discouraged at all, nor did he care about the opinions of other classmates.
In his words, to pursue a girl, you have to be thick-skinned.
After being rejected, Huang Zheng followed behind Zeng, the school beauty, and asked her with concern: "Jingxue, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your legs?"
Jingxue, are you hungry? I brought some cookies!
Jingxue, my classmate...
They've taken shamelessness to the extreme.
Zeng Jingxue had a dark expression throughout.
If it weren't for her own image, Zeng Jingxue would have already hit someone.
Just as the martial arts association members were practicing enthusiastically in the gymnasium, the large iron door of the gymnasium's practice room was suddenly pulled open with a loud bang!
A long shadow was cast on the wooden floor of the venue in the sunlight.
Zhang Yuan arrived at the stadium with an air of dominance, wearing a faded vest, black athletic shorts, and old sneakers.
The loud noise of the door opening startled everyone in the venue, and all eyes turned to look at Zhang Yuan.
Who is this person?
Why did you suddenly barge in?
After joining the Martial Arts Association, Zhang Yuan participated in one training session. However, due to his busy schedule participating in the college basketball tournament and his regular training, he stopped attending training sessions, resulting in many new members of the Martial Arts Association never having seen Zhang Yuan before.
Most of the dozen or so new members joined the association after Zeng Jingxue entered it!
So when Zhang Yuan came in and saw so many people, he was quite surprised!
When did the Wushu Association recruit so many new members?
However, Zhang Yuandao didn't care much about these things. He came here today to find someone to spar with and test his combat skills.
In the martial arts association, with Chairman Li Hu absent, only Lin Bao and Wang Biao remain who can fight Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan's gaze swept across the venue, and he saw that Vice President Lin Bao and Wang Biao were together, so he walked over to Lin Bao and Wang Biao.
Over there, Zeng Jingxue's two best friends saw Zhang Yuan approaching and exclaimed in hushed tones, "Wow, a handsome guy is here!!"
Because of his cultivation, Zhang Yuan's complexion improved, especially after several acupoints on his Ren and Du meridians were opened, making his body stronger and more powerful, and his body proportions more harmonious.
So, when Zeng Jingxue, who had always been cold to boys, saw Zhang Yuan walking over, her eyes lit up.
Moreover, Zeng Jingxue clearly remembered that this was the guy who easily defeated Lin Bao and Wang Biao, who were second only to the president in strength in the guild, a month ago.
They're both freshmen, so why is he so good at fighting? And he seems to have gotten more handsome!
Zeng Jingxue muttered to herself.
Huang Zheng noticed Zeng Jingxue's gaze and every move she made towards Zhang Yuan.
Huang Zheng did not raise an eyebrow.
Huang Zheng has always been somewhat averse to guys who are more handsome than him, especially when he sees the gleam in his heart when his goddess looks at Zhang Yuan. This makes Huang Zheng even more wary and annoyed with Zhang Yuan.
"Zhang Yuan, it's been a long time since you've been to the association!"
Wang Biao said with a smile.
"Yes, I've been quite busy lately!"
Zhang Yuan also said with a smile.
Having become stronger, Zhang Yuan no longer cared much about the opinions of others, and his words exuded a strong sense of confidence.
This made Zhang Yuan, who already had good features, look even more charming.
"President Lin, who is he?"
Huang Zheng stood behind Lin Bao and Zeng Jingxue, stroked his chin, looked down at Zhang Yuan, and asked.
"He is also a new member of our Wushu Association this year, and like you, he is a freshman of the class of 2021."
Lin Baodao.
