Apart from attending classes and visiting Lin Yumeng every day, he was almost always in the library.
He had been reading from books on various subjects such as mathematics, English, physics, biochemistry, and other subjects. His proficiency in these subjects had increased rapidly.
[ Browsing English books, English proficiency +2 ]
[ English proficiency: 10,000, level boost up to advanced level ]
[Unlocked active skills 10 lines at a glance]

The notifications that appeared in his head please dSu Chen. He hurriedly checked the skill panel in his mind.
[Ten lines at a glance]: Active skill. When the skill is activated, reading speed and memory will greatly improve. Could learn ten lines at a glance, and has a photographic memory. Duration: 60 minutes, cooldown: 12 hours.
At the bottom of the skills page, the skill icons of Chinese, math, English, physics, and biochemistry that had reached an advanced level were extended to illuminate a new passive skill.
[Genius will]: Passive skill. Having a mind that has the will to be a genius. Could easily enter the state of selfless learning. Efficiency is greatly enhanced.
Su Chen’s mood was carefree and joyful after unlocking two skills at a time.
When the skill of ten lines at a glance was activated, he found that his efficiency was high when he continued reading. The proficiency level boosted a few times faster than usual.
“So, if I want to improve any skills in the future, I just need to find relevant books to read,” he noted.
Su Chen silently pondered, and then thought of when he went to visit Lin Yumeng a few days ago. He was forced to learn fighting when Xie Anguo caught him.
Thinking of this, he closed his book and got up and went to look for a book about kung fu.
This largest library of the University of Magic City had hundreds of thousands of books in various categories, both academic and recreational.
He looked for a long time and did not find what he wanted. He asked the librarian, “Excuse me, the book about kung fu. Which section is it in?”
The librarian was beautiful, with a ponytail and glasses. She had a gentle and quiet bookish temperament.
Liu Shishu heard the voice and looked at him with surprise. “Kung Fu?”
Su Chen had been in the library for a long time these past few days reading books of all kinds. Liu Shishu was curious about him. Now that he was suddenly looking for a book on kung fu, she was even more puzzled.
She liked books a great deal, and she’d read all kinds of books, but never one about kung fu.
“Yes, are there any?” Su Chen nodded.
“Wait a minute. I’ll check for you.” Liu Shishu typed on the computer, then pointed to a shelf in the corner. “Over there. There are not many of them, however.”
“Thanks.”
Su Chen thanked her with a smile and then walked quickly in the direction she had pointed
Liu Shishu frowned a little and watched him with a curious look as he walked away. Then she smiled lightly and continued reading her book.
On the contrary, there were more than a hundred books.
Su Chen took a book called “Chinese Fist Overview.” He stood there and started reading.
[Eight Trigram fist skills unlocked, proficiency +1]
[Hsing I fist skills unlocked, proficiency +1]
[Baji fist skills unlocked, proficiency +1]
Notification after notification came into his mind. Su Chen was intoxicated, in a state of ecstasy as he read his book.
With the ten lines at a glance, he turned the pages of the book quickly. Then he charged into another book and continued reading.
At this time, Liu Shishu took two books and went near him. After she put the books back on the shelf, she looked at Su Chen, who was reading in front of the shelf curiously.
Su Chen was so engrossed in reading that he sent out a certain charm.
Not far away were a young man and young woman. The girl looked for a book absentmindedly while the boy babbled beside her.
The girl was impatient and turned around. Her eyes lit up when she saw Su Chen. She was stunned and murmured, “So handsome!”
The guy saw Su Chen along her line of sight, and he was jealous. Then he said in a strange tone of voice, “That is a good act. What could you read if you flipped through the book so fast?”
The girl glanced at him. “How do you know he is acting? Don’t you see he is reading so seriously? Stop being sarcastic.”
The guy was unhappy and said with frustration. “Do you see anyone who flips the pages so quickly when they read? How many words could you understand?”
“Perhaps he can read quickly!” said the girl as she raised her chin slightly.
The guy felt wronged when he saw the girl he had been pursuing for a long time looking at another man. He hated his parents for not giving him handsome genes.
Sometimes being handsome does help a man get away with anything.
“Wait and see.”
The guy was suddenly emotional and aggressively walked toward Su Chen.
The girl’s facial expression changed, and she ran to stop him. “What are you going to do? Don’t go.”
The boy did not give the girl the opportunity. He strode straight to the front of Su Chen and directly took the book in his hand.
Su Chen was reading attentively, so he frowned when the boy took his book away. He stared at the young man coldly.
“I’m sorry. He didn’t mean to.” The flustered girl apologized.
She had not fallen in love at first sight with Su Chen; she just habitually argued with her boyfriend.
She had good feelings toward the guy who had pursued her for so long but did not expect his sharp reaction.
“Eight Trigram fist. Poof, haha…I can’t believe there are still people reading about it in this era.”
The guy couldn’t help laughing, and he looked at the girl beside him. “You said he wasn’t acting. Do you think anyone would read such a book so attentively?”
The girl looked at the title of the cover, and her facial expression changed. She had never seen a young man read a book on kung fu before.
“Give it back,” said Su Chen expressionlessly.
“Still acting? Keep pretending.” The guy was even more unhappy when he saw Su Chen was not pretending.
“I’ll say for the last time, give the book back to me.” Su Chen’s expression turned stern, and his tone grew cold.
The ten-lines-at-a-glance skill was still active, and the girl was too lazy to talk to her boyfriend.
Liu Shishu, who was not far away, saw something wrong with the situation and wanted to calm it down.
“What can you do? Hit me with this Eight Trigram fist?” sneered the guy.
When he finished his words, he felt a blow to his chest. The book fell out of his hands, and he stumbled a few steps back before he landed on the floor on his bottom.
Su Chen opened his fist and grabbed the book that had fallen. He smiled lightly at the guy sitting on the ground. “This was the first time I heard such a request.”
“You—” The boy coughed.
The boy wanted to say something, but his blood boiled. He coughed a few times. When he wiped the edge of his mouth with his hands, he saw fresh blood. His facial expression changed in an instant.
