Chapter 21: Light Body Technique

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing weapon choices.

Only Chen Ye and Qian Fugui were left without anyone to talk to.

Chen Ye appeared indifferent.

Within his youthful body resided a mature soul, allowing him to disregard such matters.

Qian Fugui, however, was not so fortunate.

He looked quite dejected.

Finally, his roommates Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong couldn't bear to see it and came over to ask them.

"Chen Ye, Fugui, have you decided what weapons you want to choose?" Zhao Zheng asked.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "I'll pick a saber!"

Qian Fugui followed, "Then I'll choose a sword!"

Suddenly, a laugh came from the side: "Qian Fugui, I suggest you go to the hospital for a heart transplant first. Otherwise, with your talent, it's too dangerous to go into the Secret Realm. You'll attract monsters wherever you go."

This was actually meant as a joke.

However, Qian Fugui, having been hit by one setback after another, was currently very sensitive. Upon hearing this, he immediately bristled.

"You bastard, say that again!"

Qian Fugui stood up, his eyes red, staring furiously at the speaker, looking as if he would attack at any moment.

The student who had spoken was clearly taken aback. He sheepishly said, "I was just kidding... Forget it, I apologize. I'm sorry, Qian Fugui. I promise I'll never say anything about you again."

This person was very clever. With just one sentence, he made Qian Fugui seem like someone who couldn't take a joke, leaving Qian Fugui in an awkward position.

Qian Fugui took several deep breaths, then packed his things and left the classroom.

This made Zhao Zheng and the others feel somewhat awkward.

Watching Qian Fugui's retreating back, Chen Ye shook his head slightly.

From the moment this little fatty chose a compatible king, tragedy was already inevitable.

The path Qian Fugui chose, he could only walk it himself!

After class.

The teacher created a class group chat, added all the students, and then posted a weapon list.

[This is the list of all alloy weapons. Everyone, please take a look. If there's nothing you like, you can also design your own weapon blueprints for custom orders. However, custom orders take a long time, and the teacher doesn't recommend it.]

[Received!]

[Received!]

The students responded with "Received!"

Teacher Liu: [Also, I remind everyone, absolutely do not post course content online. AI is very advanced now. No matter how anonymously you post, you can be tracked. If caught, it's a minimum of three years. Content related to the Secret Realm will also be instantly deleted. Don't do anything foolish.]

[Understood!]

[Understood!]

Chen Ye downloaded the weapon list file sent by Teacher Liu. It was a surprisingly large 1GB.

Upon opening it, he found there were over a thousand types of weapons.

Each weapon was accompanied by a high-definition 3D image, along with detailed descriptions of its size, weight, pressure resistance, and destructive power.

No wonder the file was so large.

He casually browsed through it and finally selected an alloy saber, sending it to Teacher Liu.

Even though he had chosen a weapon, Chen Ye might not necessarily use it. Choosing one was just to put on a show and avoid arousing suspicion.

When the Secret Realm opens, Chen Ye definitely plans to bring some glutinous rice and peach wood swords to test whether the zombies in the Secret Realm are afraid of these things like they are in movies.

This experiment is very important.

Because Chen Ye suspects that all the monsters in the Secret Realm might be things he is familiar with.

If that's the case.

Then, he would have an unimaginable advantage in the Secret Realm.

Even though Chen Ye already possessed the Bald Demon King's physique.

But who would complain about having too many advantages?

Furthermore, his Saitama Physique couldn't increase his mental attributes, which he could conveniently supplement through the Secret Realm.

At noon.

The four roommates gathered in the cafeteria for lunch.

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke, "Chen Ye, Fugui, and Lu Yong, if you guys are free this afternoon, accompany me to the library? I want to pick a National Arts course, and I'd like you to take a look and give me some suggestions."

Hearing this, Lu Yong immediately said, "Brother Zhao, you're joking. With our talent, how could we possibly give advice to a prodigy like you?"

Chen Ye shook his head slightly.

Although Lu Yong was good at flattery, his emotional intelligence was still a bit low.

Zhao Zheng's suggestion clearly showed he wanted to pull his roommates along to study together.

Chen Ye guessed that perhaps Teacher Liu had said something to Zhao Zheng after keeping him behind last time, which led a prodigy like Zhao Zheng to proactively approach them, the "underachievers."

He had to admit, Zhao Zheng's way of handling social interactions was excellent, and Chen Ye really admired the kid.

Even now, the S-class talent holders in the class, while they would chat and laugh with their classmates, couldn't hide the arrogance in their eyes when facing A-class talent holders.

Some of them didn't even bother to hide it, directly putting on a condescending demeanor.

Only a minority of S-class talent holders genuinely treated everyone as classmates.

Zhao Zheng was one of the few.

"When three people walk together, one of them is bound to be my teacher," Zhao Zheng said with a smile. "It would be good if you could help me with some advice."

Seeing Zhao Zheng's persistence, Lu Yong finally understood and agreed, "Since Brother Zhao has said so, I definitely will."

Chen Ye thought about it. He really didn't have anything to do that afternoon, and he was also a bit curious about the Psychic University's library. It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

"Then let's go!"

With Qian Fugui the only one left, he naturally wouldn't spoil the mood at a time like this.

Thus, the group headed towards the library.

When they arrived, they found quite a few people already there.

Furthermore, there were no books in the library. Instead, there were individual computers, and none of them were connected to the internet.

Although there was no internet, the computers stored a vast amount of information, enough for the new students to study.

The four found seats and began to search for information.

Chen Ye originally wanted to see what monsters were in Secret Realm No. 2, but the system displayed that access was not yet open...

Bored, he saw Zhao Zheng researching National Arts and decided to open the related materials and follow along.

There were many types of National Arts in this world.

Since the emergence of heroic talents, National Arts had developed rapidly. Over the past few decades, countless diverse martial arts had evolved!

"Huh?"

As Chen Ye flipped through the pages, he suddenly discovered an interesting martial art.

This martial art was called the "Light Body Technique"!

After cultivating it, one could control their muscles and compress their bones, shrinking their body size to be able to pass through extremely narrow environments.

It was somewhat similar to bone shrinking techniques.

Or rather, this Light Body Technique was adapted from bone shrinking techniques, an enhanced version that was far more sophisticated.

Upon successful cultivation, it could significantly reduce a person's height without affecting their strength or mobility.

Most importantly, this technique was easy to learn, and those with well-developed muscles could master it with ease.

Chen Ye's current muscles might not look imposing, but they were strong enough to instantly defeat countless people!

He felt it was necessary for him to learn this martial art...

(Reporting to all my dear readers, your author has time-traveled back from over a hundred chapters in the future. The plot of creating an alternate identity was something this little author wrote in a moment of confusion after a terrible experience, and I deeply regret it now... Unfortunately, a plot point has already been written that makes it difficult to change. Please bear with me; this idiotic segment will not appear again. I will arrange for the protagonist to be unable to use this ability later, with the reason being that as the protagonist's strength increases, the density of his muscles and bones grows, making compression impossible!)

(This little author is a semi-newbie and made quite a few mistakes in the early stages of this book. However, it gets more exciting as it progresses. Readers who have stuck with it all say the pacing is fantastic, and the book's performance is getting better and better. Please be patient and keep reading...)
