The great difference between men and boys, women and girls, lay in physical maturity and breakthrough.

For instance, because of women's particular physiology, once they had experienced relations between men and women, it was easy for others to discover it. Modern society had even developed restorative surgery on that basis.

Men, by contrast, because of their physiology—that is, the differences in their bodies—were much harder to judge as virgins, especially in the society of Duàn Yì's previous life.

But this world was different. Because martial arts had manifested the extraordinary, one specialized martial art after another had emerged for virgin men.
