The Sixth Change!

The yoga mat was covered in sweat stains, and a faint fragrance filled the room. Su Qi's cheeks were flushed, and she was panting heavily.

She looked as if she was about to collapse, yet the soft sword in her hand continued to dance, its movements unhindered and as graceful as a startled swan, dazzling and mesmerizing.

"Hah-hah, System, I can't do this anymore! Stop, stop!" Su Qi begged frantically.

Her entire body felt like it was trembling uncontrollably. Even each step she took felt like walking on cotton. It was less like she was controlling her body and more like a puppeteer was manipulating her, forcing her to dance.

"Believe in yourself, Host, you can do it. Remember, all those who achieve enlightenment once felt beyond saving. If the heart does not die, the Way cannot be born. If you are at your wit's end, then break through like a bamboo!"

The System actually responded with a philosophical answer, which made Su Qi pause. Then she remembered that these were the words from today's morning news on the page. It was cool, but she really couldn't go on.

Her delicate feet tapped lightly, followed by a stunning backbend. Even as she bent backward, the soft sword in her hand didn't stop, executing sharp, slashing movements. She looked like a spirit dancing among flowers, full of momentum.

After finishing the concluding move of thirteen consecutive sword strikes, Su Qi finally broke free from that terrifying state.

Her arms and legs were trembling violently, like cramps. No, they were cramps. Even the calves of her legs were shaking as if sieving, especially noticeable beneath her fair skin.

At this moment, Su Qi couldn't afford to worry about her cramping calves. What was more serious was her waist. As a male, he had never learned to dance. This complete backbend was truly going to break his waist, and it was aching terribly.

"System, is this Secret Manual poisonous! This is only the second page, and it feels like it's trying to kill me! I'm afraid if I turn to the third page, this manual will actually kill me!

Why is there a setting where you have to practice continuously without being proficient? Other Systems give you manuals that let you learn instantly, like Doraemon, with a 'beep,' and you've learned it. Why do you make me practice every single step?" Su Qi lay on the yoga mat for ten minutes before she could muster the strength to complain.

"Please, Host, regulate your cognition and abandon those utterly shameful thoughts of getting something for nothing. Not only are your thoughts unscientific, but even having such thoughts is wrong.

If there were truly such shortcuts, wouldn't that be disrespectful to ordinary people? Perhaps a lifetime of effort from others would be less than one manual?"

From its unperturbed tone, Su Qi detected a lecturing undertone. Although hearing the word "scientific" from it felt strange, as it was clearly a being beyond science itself.

But she had to admit, this System had a very strong moral compass. And as the System said, if one could become omnipotent just by binding with a System, wouldn't that be disrespectful to others?

Before Su Qi could think further, the System explained, "Although this System cannot allow the Host to achieve the ideal results you envision, it has introduced an intelligent learning system. Through repeated practice of movements, muscle memory is achieved.

Furthermore, the Host lacks any foundation in dance or swordplay. If you were to learn on your own, the success rate would be minimal. Therefore, the mandatory assistance of the Secret Manual is necessary. Frankly, without the mandatory execution, when would the Host have given up?"

Su Qi felt that the System's learning ability was growing stronger with each interaction, and it was becoming more eloquent. And what it said made a lot of sense.

He had started reading the book after lunch at 2 PM.

Around 3:10 PM, he had already begun to complain. After an hour of exercise, his muscles were starting to ache. Without the manual's help, he probably would have given up around that time.

By 4 PM, he had no strength left, and the manual had dragged his body through the corresponding movements.

Just now, at 5 PM, Su Qi felt like she was going to die. But her body had moved before her mind could.

Thinking about it, it was quite remarkable, even if it wasn't particularly humane. For example, her butt felt like her muscles had been stretched from the leg-opening movements just now. If only she could gain a few inches in height too.

Her height of just over 1.7 meters was indeed a bit short.

"System, in this situation, I won't be able to finish this thick Flower Stance Secret Manual even if I don't rest for the next few days!"

Su Qi didn't want her money to go down the drain. The thought of the draconian clause stating that one failed photo would invalidate everything made her temples throb.

"Rest assured, Host, all of this System's decisions are within the Host's usable range and will not exceed the scope. After all, we are a whole; we rise and fall together." the System replied.

Su Qi glanced at the somewhat tattered and thick Secret Manual. She estimated there were at least 150 pages left. She had spent 3 hours on the ten movements of the second page today, so she couldn't understand where the System's confidence came from.

Oh well, she wouldn't think about it anymore. Perhaps she would know the answer in the next few days, or perhaps it was related to the abilities she would awaken later. Su Qi thought this, and surprisingly, she was a little curious about the changes she would experience tomorrow.

She even had the thought that it might not be bad to have new and surprising things happening every day.

How could I possibly look forward to becoming a woman? No, no!

Having experienced yesterday's ordeal, Su Qi didn't want to sleep on the yoga mat again. She climbed onto the bed, which still carried the lingering scent of Wang Yun. The duvet was as light as feathers and extremely soft.

In no time, Su Qi fell asleep. Due to the intense exertion, she even let out faint snores.

It wasn't even midnight yet. If someone were beside Su Qi, they would notice her figure slowly changing.

Her flat chest gradually began to swell, becoming rounder and fuller like an inflating balloon, finally stopping when it resembled two apples. The bones in her waist were also undergoing a transformation.

If the previous Su Qi, even when held in a cute embrace, still had a slight stiffness of male bone structure, the current Su Qi would feel truly soft and cuddly when held.

Her waist, now slender enough to be held in one hand, had bones that were no longer as broad as before, making her appear much smaller overall. Coupled with the slightly protruding Jade Rabbit...

Although the skeletal changes in her chest were significant, the biggest change was in her pelvis. After all, the most significant skeletal difference between males and females lies there.

This is because women bear the great responsibility of carrying and nurturing a fetus.

This results in women having wider and shorter pelvises, while men have slender and elongated ones.

As her pelvis changed, if one observed carefully, they would notice that Su Qi had actually shrunk by a few centimeters. But this didn't mean the centimeters had disappeared; they had simply redistributed to other areas.

In her sleep, Su Qi felt as if her butt had gotten bigger. She shifted a few times before falling back into a deep sleep. Her perky buttocks pressed into the bed, creating an even larger indentation than before.

If Su Qi knew that her height had been exchanged for her perky backside, she might have cried.

However, as she was now, she had no such thoughts. She was still happily lost in her dreams.

In her dream, she was still a man, with Wang Zijin in his left arm and touching Wang Yun's thigh with his right. Wang Yun was sitting on him, while Bai Miao stood nearby, holding a food box and feeding him. It was pure bliss. He even let out a girlish giggle, completely unaware of the changes happening to his body.

The System surveyed Su Qi's figure, particularly admiring the size of the Jade Rabbits on her chest.

Although they weren't the "giant" size the Host preferred, the System had consulted a lot of data, especially the Host's own works.

Most of the characters Su Qi drew were initially only palm-sized. Then, as the main storyline progressed, the Female Protagonist would be developed from childhood.

The Host particularly liked this gradual process. This time, the System decided to let him experience it firsthand!

Surely the Host would praise me!
