“Instructor, I’m done with the laps.”
Su Chen finished the 4,000 meters in not more than 15 minutes. He was perspiring, but he showed no signs of being out of breath or flushing with heat as he came toward the young instructor.
“You are something, boy. What’s your name? My name is Zhang Jun,” said the young instructor while he looked at him in surprise and smiled. The army worshiped the strong. Even the instructor couldn’t run 4,000 meters so easily.
“Su Chen,” he answered with a smile and then ran to the steps to bring the water he’d bought. He first gave one bottle to the instructor, then one each to Lin Yumeng and her roommates.
“Handsome boy, how could you favor only them? Where is ours?” complained one of the girls as she laughed.
“Well…this is the only bottle left. Here, take it!” Su Chen smiled and handed over the last bottle of water.
“Thanks, handsome.” The girl took it with a grin.
“No, we want it, too.”
“That’s right. You took our class’s most beautiful girl just like that. We will not agree to this if you don’t show us some attention.”
The other students joined in to kid him.
“I’ll pay for the drinks. Who will buy them?” Su Chen took a hundred-dollar note from his pocket.
“Generous!”
“We’ll go! We’ll go!”
Two boys volunteered and ran to the supermarket with the money.
“Handsome boy, you are good at dealing with things. We will help if Lin Yumeng meets any trouble,” one of the girls said brightly.
“That would be nice.” Su Chen smiled and nodded.
The group of students could not help laughing.
“Come on, brother Chen. I give you this seat.” Qian Manman smiled like a flower and waved.
Su Chen did not feel embarrassed. He walked over to sit beside Lin Yumeng. Then he took the water bottle in her hand, opened it, and drank with his head up.
“Ohoh…”
The group of students laughed.
Lin Yumeng’s cute face blushed, and she hung her head in embarrassment.
Zhang Jun clapped his hands and drew the students’ attention to him. He then said with a smile, “Thank you, Su Chen, for treating us to some drinks at just the right time. Can anyone here perform for us? Just to entertain us?”
“Instructor, you have to start us off. What type of unique skills do you have? Show us one,” shouted a boy.
The students agreed.
“Well, I’ll show you a Military Physical Culture Fist.” Zhang Jun agreed with a smile and posed and began to punch.
Lunge punches, throat-piercing kicks, crosswalks—he showed them all.
The moves kept up a rhythm. His fists looked strong and menacing.

Notifications after notification emerged in Su Chen’s mind.
[Military Physical Culture Fist proficiency reaches 100, the level is upgraded to the primary level]
Zhang Jun finished demonstrating a set of fists. Su Chen successfully broke through the entry-level Military Physical Culture Fist and reached the primary level.
“Instructor, nice fist.”
“You are so handsome.”
The students cheered excitedly and clapped their hands.
“The drinks are here! The drinks are here!”
The two boys who went to buy the drinks had come back. They were carrying two boxes of iced cola and some ice cream. They left not a penny from 100 RMB for Su Chen.
Drinking bottles of ice-cold Coke in such hot weather immediately excited the students and put them in high spirits.
“Now that you have drunk your drinks and eaten the ice cream, who will perform next?” said Zhang Jun with a smile.
No hands went up.
“No one? Then we will continue the training!”
“No!”
“Hurry, who has talent? Go and sing or dance.”
The students didn’t want to train, of course.
“Instructor, we’ve got a traitor in our ranks without a uniform. Ask him to perform,” shouted Meng Lu suddenly as she raised her hand.
“Good idea. Su Chen, come out and perform something for everyone,” said Zhang Jun to Su Chen with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter and set their sights on Su Chen.
Su Chen felt helpless. He glared at Meng Lu, then got up to go to the front of the rank.
The students stared at him with contrasting expressions on their faces: the boys gloated while the girls looked forward.
“I will perform a set of fists too then,” said Su Chen with a smile.
A chorus of boos broke out.
“We don’t want to see the fists. Change to something else.”
“Yes. It would be nothing special seeing you performing fists. Sing a song instead.”
“Dance, dance…”
Everyone shouted.
Su Chen ignored them as if he did not hear them. He started performing the Military Physical Culture Fist as he set his stance.
[Military Physical Culture Fist proficiency +2]
[Military Physical Culture Fist proficiency +2]
He shocked the students with his moves.
Su Chen’s moves were standard. They looked similar to those of Zhang Jun’s demonstration, although he wasn’t quite so smooth, but the performance was great because of his strong, tall, and handsome figure.
Zhang Jun looked at him in surprise too.
After performing a set of fists, Su Chen ended the performance by standing at attention.
“Handsome!”
“Excellent…”
The students applauded in support—especially the girls, who blushed and clapped their hands.
Lin Yumeng stared at Su Chen with her beautiful eyes. Her heart was filled with worship and love.
“You’ve learned this before?” asked Zhang Jun in surprise to Su Chen.
“No, I haven’t. I learned from seeing your demonstration.”
Zhang Jun was surprised to hear this. Chen’s eyes were clear, and it did not seem like a lie. He was immediately shocked and could not help putting his thumbs up as he praised, “Amazing!”
Su Chen smiled.
“Boy, you learned fast enough.”
Not far away, a middle-aged man in military uniform came over.
“Commander.” Zhang Jun saluted at once. The middle-aged man nodded in response. “Students, this is our company commander and the chief instructor of military training.”
“Nice to meet you, commander.”
The students looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and shouted with smiles.
“Hello, class.” Xie Anguo smiled and nodded, then looked at Su Chen..”I saw what happened just now. Your fists seem to be strong. Are you interested in sparring with me?”
When he said this, everyone was shocked.
” Never mind, er…Mengmeng, I’ll leave first.”
Su Chen looked at Lin Yumeng and was about to flee.
“Watch the fist!”
Xie Anguo shouted and punched Su Chen’s shoulder.
Su Chen suddenly reached out to grab the fist, then aimed his right shoulder as if he was going to hit Xie Anguo’s chest.
Xie Anguo was shocked. His right arm covered his chest as he stumbled a few steps behind because of the force. Then he looked at Su Chen in surprise.
He had been aware of the strength of the other side when Su Chen was performing the fist. He did not expect him to be so strong, however.
This was inborn divine strength.
Xie Anguo looked at his slightly trembling arm as he marveled.
“Are you all right?” asked Su Chen hurriedly.
“I’m fine. I’m fine. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself from testing you. You are very strong indeed. You could fight one against ten if you learn some more skills,” said Xie Anguo as he smiled with both of his hands behind his back.
“Good to hear that you are fine.”
Su Chen smiled lamely and then ran away. He was afraid to stay and cause more trouble.
“Boy, you can come to me if you’re interested. I’ll teach you some skills,” shouted Xie Anguo, who was behind Su Chen.
Su Chen did not respond. When he ran farther, he shouted, “Mengmeng, I’m going to the canteen. I’ll wait for you to have lunch together.”
Lin Yumeng blushed. The other students and Zhang Jun burst into laughter.
