For six consecutive days.

Chen Ye stayed at home and trained.

Every time he finished training, he could clearly feel himself getting stronger.

And his stats were unwavering, increasing by 15 points every day: 5 points each for physique, strength, and agility.

Six days passed.

His status panel had undergone significant changes.

Name: Chen Ye.

Physique: 37.

Spirit: 11.

Strength: 39.

Agility: 39.

Talent: Saitama Physique.

His physique, strength, and agility stats were now nearly four times that of a normal person.

Only his spirit stat hadn't increased at all.

This made Chen Ye suspect that the Saitama Physique he obtained was actually a watered-down version…

As his stats increased.

Chen Ye's physical fitness was also rapidly enhancing.

The most direct manifestation was that he was no longer as exhausted when performing the "Saitama Training Method" exercises.

Previously, it took him a full day to complete all the exercises.

Now, it only took him a few hours.

In terms of physical fitness, he could now easily outclass professional athletes.

And Chen Ye had achieved this in just six days!

This was the awesomeness of the Saitama Physique.

Chen Ye was naturally more than satisfied with the Saitama Physique.

The only thing he felt regretful about was probably his hair.

In the past few days, every morning when he woke up, he found quite a bit of hair shed on his pillow.

At this rate of hair loss.

In less than three years.

He would be completely bald…

Today was the seventh day since Chen Ye obtained the Saitama Physique.

It was also the seventh day since he made a fool of himself.

Most netizens were forgetful.

Six days had passed.

The number of people mocking him online had significantly decreased, with only a small portion of netizens occasionally bringing him up.

On the other hand, the girl named "Tang Zichen" remained extremely popular, having been on the trending news list for several consecutive days.

It was said that Tang Zichen had been specially recruited by Magic City Martial University, which was one of the best Psychic Universities in the country.

Judging from the netizens' comments, everyone was eagerly anticipating her future performance.

Even Ms. Qin, in an interview, had revealed that she was very optimistic about Tang Zichen's future…

Chen Ye's expression turned a bit strange when he saw these news reports.

He remembered overhearing his parents chatting before. Chen Father had mentioned wanting to use a life-saving favor from the older generation to get the girl Tang Zichen to act as his temporary bodyguard for a period of time.

Now that she was so famous and had attracted the attention of influential figures…

Chen Ye strongly doubted if his father could still manage to arrange this.

The time was now.

Twelve noon.

Chen Ye was having lunch with his mother, Yang Rongzhi.

It was mainly him eating, while his mother watched from the side.

As he grew stronger with his daily training, Chen Ye's appetite also increased.

Most of the dishes on the table ended up in his stomach.

"Son."

Yang Rongzhi suddenly spoke, "After dinner, do you want to go out for some fresh air? How about coming to the company with Mom this afternoon?"

Under Yang Rongzhi's name was a company of considerable size, valued at several hundred million.

By all accounts, Chen Ye was also a rich second-generation heir.

"I still need to train this afternoon, I don't want to go," Chen Ye refused outright.

He had woken up quite late today, and he still needed to get stronger by completing the Saitama Training Method in the afternoon. How could he have time to go out and play?

"It's not a solution for you to always be cooped up at home..."

Yang Rongzhi frowned, her eyes full of concern for her son.

"Training every day isn't good for your body either; you need to relax occasionally. My company has a lot of young people, you can go find them to hang out with."

She was practically saying it outright: her company had plenty of girls.

In Yang Rongzhi's imagination, Chen Ye's desperate training every day was entirely due to being stimulated.

She was afraid that if Chen Ye continued like this, he would ruin his health.

Just as Chen Ye was about to respond to his mother.

Suddenly, Yang Rongzhi's phone rang.

She answered the call, spoke for a few sentences, and then hung up with a delighted expression.

"Chen Ye, you sit here and wait for a moment. Your father will be back soon; he has a surprise for you."

Chen Ye's heart stirred.

If he guessed correctly, the surprise his mother mentioned was probably related to him going to college.

A moment later.

Chen Father arrived home, indeed holding a university acceptance letter in his hand.

Seeing Chen Ye, Chen Father didn't have a pleasant expression. He thrust the acceptance letter towards Chen Ye and said stiffly, "Take it. In a couple of days, you're going to pack up and report to school. Just a small setback, and you're already half-dead like this. You really are..."

The more unpleasant words that followed, Chen Father couldn't bring himself to say.

Because Yang Rongzhi was glaring at him with killing intent.

Chen Ye suddenly felt like laughing.

This acceptance letter must not have come easily.

It was definitely his father humbling himself and using his connections to get Chen Ye into the school.

The middle-aged man before him, who clearly loved his son dearly, always put on a stern face and acted like a strict father.

His personality was exactly the same as his father back on Earth.

"Thanks, Dad!"

Chen Ye said with a smile.

His tone was sincere.

As for going to college, he was indifferent.

However, since it was an arrangement his father had put effort into, Chen Ye felt no need to disappoint his father's expectations.

After Chen Ye took the acceptance letter, he immediately noticed it was unusual.

The cover of the acceptance letter was actually inlaid with a gold border.

Then, Chen Ye opened the acceptance letter and was immediately astonished when he saw the name of the university indicated inside.

Magic City Martial University!

Even though Chen Ye was a transmigrator, he knew that this Psychic University was one of the best universities in the country, on par with a certain Psychic University in the capital.

Most importantly, Magic City Martial University was the same school as the currently wildly popular "Tang Zichen."

It seemed.

His father had truly done everything for him.

He had underestimated his father's influence and connections...

Chen Ye knew that his father must have paid an unimaginable price to achieve this.

Looking at that slightly tired old face, Chen Ye felt a mix of emotions.

"Dad, you must have paid a considerable price for this acceptance letter, right?"

Chen Ye asked.

"It's good that you know."

Chen Father's expression softened considerably, but he still said stubbornly, "As long as you work hard and cause me less trouble in the future."

"Okay, I promise!" Chen Ye responded very seriously.

However, Chen Father clearly didn't believe him.

He couldn't help but worry and cautioned, "Once you get to school, you absolutely cannot draw attention to yourself or make a fool of yourself. I've repeatedly assured Principal Lu, and only then did he agree. If you cause any more trouble and it gets posted online, affecting the school's reputation, you'll definitely be expelled."

Chen Ye knew this.

He had just become a national laughingstock.

His situation was quite special.

It was already under immense pressure for Principal Lu to give him a chance and accept him.

If news of Magic City Martial University admitting him were to be posted online, people would surely assume he got in through connections and question Magic City Martial University's fairness.

Although, he did get in through connections
