Chapter 3: Fairy Drove Me! (2)
With a loud bang, something seems to be unshackled in his body. Li Fenshuang roared as he performed the last movement of the first stage of the Basic Scripture.
It was as if a dam had been overturned, leaving the water freely flowing into it. He could feel his explosive strength. It's not just a simple breakthrough.
After accumulating strength over three years, Li Fenshuang could finally break through, and naturally, his accumulation would also transform. Before, he was unable to break the chasm due to his insufficient talent, forcing him to accumulate more and more blood qi in his body.
His strength crazily rose, and after the explosive growth, it stabilized in the middle of the 1st Stage of Martial Realm.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of nutrition, his daily practice over the past years could barely help him accumulate blood qi in the past, allowing him just to break through to the middle of the 1st Stage of Martial Realm.
And with no money in hand, it seems like it would stay like that before he could get his own money. Li Fenshuang's face darkened before he realized something.
"It seems like I have to depend on practicing martial techniques to increase my strength."
He had yet to figure out a way to make money, and he also had no connection. He felt very pitiful.
"Putting that aside, it seems like my physique experienced a substantial increment."
He looked over to check, only to be shocked by the terrifying figure on his interface.
| Talent: Good (Two times of an Average talent. Pretty good!)
| Physique: 23 (Mortal)
| Strength: 160 kg
23 points of physique! That means his comprehension is 23 times his original talent! If he could get a treasure that could enhance his talent...
His gaze turned hot. He would soar!
"It seems like I underestimated the effect of a Blue talent. Previously, I did not think much of it, but that's only because my previous physique was pitiful. But as I become more and more powerful, that's where its potential bloomed!"
There are too many factors that could stack with this talent. Li Fenshuang felt like the bright future had become even brighter. It was incomparably brilliant!
Let's take a factor for example. If his physique reached thousands in the future, his comprehension would be multiplied hundreds or even thousands of times!
"Let's continue!"
With this increased comprehension, the previous rate of improvement has increased by almost three times! In just one night, he made great strides toward the second stage of the Basic Scripture.
In a few days, he would be able to break through the first stage, achieving the second stage of the Basic Scripture!
The Basic Scripture was a technique shared by the upper echelon of mankind so everyone could have a chance to step into the Martial Realm. It was composed of 10 stages, and if mastered, one could become a full-fledged 4th Stage Martial Master.
At that time, even a city has to treat them with utmost respect. In the military, they could command a thousand troops!
When one reached the first stage, they would become a 1st Stage Martial Master.
When one reached the third stage, they would become a 2nd Stage Martial Master.
When one reached the sixth stage, they would become a 3rd Stage Martial Master.
Finally, when they fully grasped the technique, they would become a powerful 4th Stage Martial Master!
The increment of the stage by one for each breakthrough showed just how hard it was to improve as one's realm continued to increase.
After pulling an all-nighter to cultivate, Li Fenshuang stood up with high spirits. Unlike a mortal, a 1st Stage Martial Master could be awake for 3 full days and only require 4 hours of sleep to replenish their energy.
So, for Li Fenshuang, it was as if a third of a day had just passed. It was inconsequential for him.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
"There was an upcoming competition held by the official, right? Perhaps I could use this opportunity to win the prize and even attract several forces!"
Although it was somewhat wistful, you never know unless you try it, right? Besides, Li Fenshuang has been beaten by the world enough his whole life, so even if he got an embarrassing result, he wouldn't lose out much.
His gaze showed determination and a little bit of craze.
He, Li Fenshuang, has lost everything. So he has nothing to lose!
"Thankfully, it was held a few days before the Final Examination. I could use the remaining time to practice the Basic Scripture and perhaps even break through to the next stage. I also have to study the subjects included in the Final Examination in my spare time."
Having devised his plans, Li Fenshuang took a quick bath in his small bathroom and tidied himself quickly. Although he was depressed, because of his training craze, his foundation was pretty good.
With his recent breakthrough, his physique became even more refined, showcasing his lean muscles and broad shoulders. Although he was not as handsome and white as those good-looking leads, he was still very satisfied.
His uniform became even more tighter, hugging his explosive muscles. Li Fenshuang smirked at the mirror, admiring himself.
"It's time to go!"
He took the same road as yesterday, and with his erased depression, his gloomy countenance became bright. He saw familiar faces in the street. Old Ma He, Loud Old Li, Generous Big Ji...
Unfortunately, these people have passed away in his past life. By the time he turned thirty, only a few of them remained.
"Morning!"
The old people were surprised. They took a look at the muscular youth and were shocked.
"Isn't that Depressed Little Ang? Why is he so happy today?"
"About time! I always thought that it was a waste of a figure to be depressed all day. Look at him now, as bright as the sun! I bet that he would bring a girl after a few days!"
"It seems like we oldies don't have to worry about the son of Little Be and Yen anymore, eh?"
"It's a good thing. Their son doesn't deserve what has befallen him..."
They were Li Fenshuang's parents' neighbors, and the relationship was very harmonious. Over the past few years since his parents died, they've been helping him out in organizing the mess left behind by his parents.
Unfortunately, he was too depressed to exercise gratefulness, being suicidal all day.
Li Fenshuang waved at them with a smile before he sprinted to the school. He felt light despite the weight of his bag, and his speed remained consistent for the whole 10 minutes.
At the front gate of Jin High School, some students were shocked when a towering, muscular lean figure came running through the gate. There has never been such a menacing figure, right?
"Wait! Isn't that the depressed senior we often saw in the corner of the auditorium every time the principal called for a monthly ceremony?"
"Impossible! There's no way that senior could be like this. Just look at him!"
It was every men's dream to have a good, lean figure. So while the girls admired it, the boys were envious and awed. Li Fenshuang ignored the fickle high schoolers, considering their attention as something meaningless.
Every average third-grade high-schooler would have this kind of physique as long as they reached the first stage of the Basic Scripture in this alternative reality. Still, even among them, Li Fenshuang was one of the best ones when it comes to figures.
He was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect the depressed him to be genetically gifted when it comes to physique aesthetic.
Different from the outside, as soon as he entered his classroom, he merely received a few surprised glances and appreciative nods before they minded their own business.
Seeing this, Li Fenshuang sat in his seat and did not hesitate.
"Classmate, can I borrow some of the books related to the subjects of the Final Examination?"
He was pretty straightforward, but it shocked his classmates to their cores. The one he asked, a big-eyed fellow, was also shocked.
"Brother... You're finally willing to talk?"
Receiving their strange and shocked gazes, even he would feel embarrassed. With a light chuckle, Li Fenshuang offered a polite smile,
"Well, enlightenment could happen anytime. Perhaps I was amongst the lucky ones."
Realizing that he was being rude, the big-eyed fellow profusely said, "Ah, I apologize. It seems like I was too judgemental. Sorry for embarrassing you."
"No need to be polite. Besides, I was the one who asked for your notes, so it should be me who apologized."
They exchanged quite a few pleasantries. The surrounding classmates were surprised. To think that this depressed fellow could show such a polite and sunny smile!
"Although he's not particularly handsome and white like Wan Cheng, he's very pleasant to look at."
"I know right? My bro sense is tingling!"
"I feel like I would be the safest woman alive in his big arms..."
"Wow, I don't expect you to be shameless!"
"I just haven't met the right one yet! But now I do!"
The class turned lively as they conserved amongst themselves. Li Fenshuang finally got the notes he needed and promised the big-eyed fellow a favor.
As for how precious the favor was, it all depends on his future performance.
After reconnecting with his classmates, Li Fenshuang could finally relish the feeling of rewinding his youth. Joking with the boys, teasing the girls, and doing things foolish high-schoolers would do.
The classmates were also astounded. They don't know why, but it was as if they had known him for years, and they didn't feel awkward at all as they mingled with him.
"No matter how much I think about it, I don't understand just why talking with this fellow feels so pleasant."
"I could only say that having a big, physically-aesthetic guy pleasantly talking to you just felt so nice!"
"Maybe you're right!"
In just a morning, Li Fenshuang easily integrated himself with the class. They caught up with the missed years of an estranged relationship due to his depression before the teacher entered the classroom.
