Swan Dance

The consequence of trying to be clever and teasing Liu Wenyin was that Su Ze had to wash the dishes alone.

Dongli Kingdom had officially created a file for Su Ze. On the eleventh day after crossing over, he finally had a legal identity that he could use normally.

Although he had never been to Dongli Kingdom, he had now become a Dongli citizen.

However, he could not get his ID card for the time being. He would only receive it after arriving in Dongli Kingdom.

His household registration had been placed under Liu Wenyin's family, naturally as her younger brother.

Su Ze had not expected that after calling her sister every day, he would actually become Liu Wenyin's unrelated younger brother.

From now on, he could call her sister with even greater peace of mind. After all, they were on the same household register, certified by the Dongli Kingdom Household Registration Department.

That afternoon, Su Ze began doing some basic physical training in the yard.

Training while popping pills was the norm for many evolvers.

The Immortal Salamander extract Su Ze had absorbed two days ago still contained a large amount of Evolution Substance that had yet to be digested. The higher the extract's grade and quality, the longer it took to digest.

As they digested extracts, evolvers' physical abilities continued to improve.

A Tier 2 S-grade extract would take roughly two months to digest naturally. Taking medication could shorten that process.

The Body Conditioning and Digestion Tablets Su Ze took were already the most effective synthetic medicine of their kind on the market. If he took them continuously every day, he could complete the absorption in around half a month. With high-intensity training on top of that, the time could be shortened even further.

Su Ze strapped lead weights to his body and began running with the extra load.

He ran lap after lap around the yard, and before he knew it, his clothes were soaked through with sweat.

Many evolvers chose to train at gyms. High-end gyms now had training equipment specifically for evolvers, but Su Ze did not have those conditions yet. He could only make do with the most traditional form of training: running.

After running for three hours, Su Ze had just stopped to catch his breath when he saw Liu Wenyin standing in the doorway, though he had no idea when she had arrived. She beckoned to him.

"What is it?"

"The way you train is far too stupid."

Su Ze's eyes lit up. "Do you have a better method?"

Liu Wenyin said, "First, you need to understand the purpose of exercise. Evolvers and ordinary people both work out, but their goals are fundamentally different."

Su Ze vaguely grasped something and analyzed, "Ordinary people exercise to strengthen their bodies. Evolvers seem to do the same... Wait, I think I get it!

"Evolvers undergo high-intensity training to improve their physical abilities as well, but exercise alone offers limited improvement and has a low ceiling. That is why evolvers take evolutionary medicines and combine them with training."

"That's right." Liu Wenyin nodded. "The reason evolvers can break humanity's limits is because Evolutionary Force and Evolution Substance alter the body. The evolutionary medicines you usually take also contain various Evolution Substances. It is those substances that rapidly improve your physical abilities."

"So, the direct purpose of exercise for evolvers is to stimulate the body and accelerate its absorption of Evolution Substance. The evolutionary medicines you take, as well as the extract in your body that has yet to be fully absorbed, have caused a large amount of Evolution Substance to accumulate in your body. High-intensity exercise can indeed speed up your body's digestion of those substances, but your method is too stupid. It is inefficient and lacks focus."

Su Ze's eyes were filled with admiration, as if little stars were sparkling in them. "A top Evolutionary Science expert like you must know efficient, targeted training methods, right, Sister?"

"Who taught you to flatter people so smoothly at such a young age?" Liu Wenyin recalled that when she had been Su Ze's age, she had still been a tsundere girl. She could not have flattered someone as effortlessly as he did.

Though she said that, a smile still unconsciously appeared on her face. "Such training methods are closely guarded secrets of the major factions. But I researched this area a few years ago and created a training method of my own. If you want to learn it, I can teach you."

Su Ze nodded rapidly. "I want to learn! I want to learn! A training method created by Sister herself must be better than those passed down by the major factions!"

"I wouldn't dare say it's better than theirs, but it certainly isn't inferior." Liu Wenyin said confidently, "Wait here. I'll change clothes, then come teach you."

"Okay."

Before long, Su Ze saw Liu Wenyin emerge in a perfectly fitted yoga outfit.

The tight yoga clothes outlined her flawless curves. In her, Su Ze saw both the voluptuous splendor of Western women and the slender grace of Eastern women.

"I named this training method Swan Dance. Based on the structure of the human body and combined with special exertion techniques, it is a set of movements designed to focus stimulation on the parts of the body most compatible with Evolution Substance. It can effectively speed up the body's digestion of Evolution Substance."

Something about that sounded wrong to Su Ze... Swan Dance?

Was it the Swan Dance he was thinking of?

"I'll demonstrate it once first. Watch carefully and learn as much as you can."

After saying that, Liu Wenyin began to move. She rose onto her toes, placed her hands before her abdomen, and lifted her head, exposing her snow-white neck like a proud, elegant white swan.

Then she lightly tapped her feet against the ground, moved her arms, spun and leaped, her dance graceful and enchanting.

As she danced, she explained the exertion techniques to Su Ze in great detail. What looked like a simple dance incorporated the essence of dance, yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, and more.

But no matter how he looked at it, it was still a dance!

It looked eighty percent like the Swan Dance from the ballet Swan Lake that Su Ze had watched in his previous life.

She wanted me to dance this?

Every inch of Su Ze's body resisted.

Soon, Liu Wenyin finished one round and said to Su Ze, "Follow me and do it once."

Everything was for evolution and becoming stronger. Besides, there was no one else here... Fortunately, Su Ze was not particularly concerned about saving face. After comforting himself, he began following Liu Wenyin, learning one movement after another.

It had to be said that as an evolver, Su Ze's physical fitness was quite good. His balance and coordination were both exceptional, and he quickly grasped the essentials of Swan Dance.

After Liu Wenyin had taught him only two or three times, Su Ze had basically learned it. He could already dance it alone.

Liu Wenyin looked beautiful when she danced, but Su Ze... Could you imagine a little swan over six feet tall?

Su Ze felt that what he was doing should be called the "Goose Dance" or the "Penguin Dance."

Fortunately, after finishing the dance, Su Ze could clearly feel the Evolution Substance in his body digesting faster, and his physical abilities improving noticeably.

For the sake of such good results, Su Ze could endure the embarrassment.

It's fine. There are only the two of us here. What does it matter if I embarrass myself a little in front of my own sister... Then he turned his head and saw an old face pressed against the window behind him.

Aunt Yun's injuries were still far too light!

My sister really was considerate. She had even turned away so I would not feel embarrassed.

Huh? Why were her shoulders shaking so much?
