By the time Fang Qingyu came to his senses.
There was hardly anyone left in the training hall. Only Instructor Qin stood to the side.
There was also a meal box beside him.
"Burp~"
After eating and drinking his fill, Fang Qingyu finally relaxed.
He had just finished training and was hungry, tired, and in pain.
No wonder so few modern people practiced martial arts.
It was practically looking for ways to suffer every day.
"Stop resting. Come over and take a test first."
Seeing that Fang Qingyu had finished eating, Instructor Qin walked over to the equipment by the edge of the training ground and beckoned him over.
"Sure thing."
A coach who treated him to a thousand-yuan meal right after training—where could he find another one this good?
"Strike."
At that moment, Instructor Qin was like a machine without emotions, issuing commands.
Bang--
"."
After Fang Qingyu finished striking, he looked at the screen together with Instructor Qin.
The two of them fell silent.
81 KG.
"Have you been taking some kind of supplement lately?"
Instructor Qin turned around and looked at Fang Qingyu suspiciously.
He had suspected it the last time as well.
But back then, he had merely thought that since Fang Qingyu was young, it was normal for his body to develop quickly after beginning martial arts.
But once or twice could be considered normal.
His strength had increased by more than ten pounds again today. Wasn't that ridiculously outrageous?
It had only been a day.
Even medicine wouldn't have such an incredible effect.
"You're joking, Instructor Qin."
Fang Qingyu naturally couldn't reveal the existence of the chart.
"Maybe it's because I'm young and still growing."
Although Fang Qingyu himself didn't believe this excuse, it was all he could say.
Instructor Qin thought about it, then could only sigh.
"I used to say that your physical foundation was poor. Now it seems you'll soon be able to catch up with the others."
"But I still have to say something to you."
"Please do."
Fang Qingyu accepted it humbly.
As a coach, Instructor Qin could be said to be highly responsible.
"You already train for long enough every day. If you keep training privately on top of that, even if you went to the gym every day, your body wouldn't be able to take it."
Fang Qingyu was a little confused by this.
"Still not admitting it?"
Seeing his reaction, Instructor Qin rolled his eyes.
"If you hadn't been training extra in private, could the Stance Training Fist Technique you performed today have been that polished?"
"Oh, right, right, you're right. It was my fault."
Only then did Fang Qingyu understand.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's not a bad thing for young people to be a little more driven. But don't do this again. If you damage your physical foundation, you won't even have anywhere to cry."
"Understood."
Fang Qingyu followed him out of the martial arts gym and glanced at the time.
It was only half past twelve.
But given his current physical condition, he definitely couldn't train any more.
Seeing that Instructor Qin was about to leave, Fang Qingyu suddenly remembered the question he had wanted to ask since earlier that day. He hurriedly stopped him.
"Uh, Instructor Qin, wait a moment."
"Is something wrong?"
Instructor Qin turned around.
"It's like this. I wanted to ask you about something. I'm already very familiar with both the Stance Training Fist Technique and the fist technique, but why can't I bring them out in actual combat? It feels like there are many restrictions."
Fang Qingyu was actually rather puzzled by his performance the day before.
Hearing this, Instructor Qin said gruffly, "Can practicing a rigid routine be the same as actual combat? Come tomorrow, and I'll teach you again."
"Okay, thank you, Instructor Qin."
Only then did Fang Qingyu smile and watch him leave.
He then took a deep breath and looked excitedly at the chart.
Now it was time to reap the rewards.
Name: Fang Qingyu Age: 18 Primary Class: Martial Arts Apprentice Secondary Classes: Delivery Driver, Security Guard, Fitness Enthusiast Strength: 9.3→9.5 Speed: 9.4→9.6 Physique: 9.3→9.5 Willpower: 10.8 Attribute Points: 1 Skill Points: 1
His three physical attributes had increased by a combined total of 0.6.
No wonder he had become so hungry that he felt stifled this time.
The increase was even greater than last time.
Next, Fang Qingyu opened the Martial Arts Apprentice panel.
Class: Martial Arts Apprentice Lv.1 (53/100) Talent: Martial Seed (★) Class Basic Skill 1: Hidden Dragon Stance Lv.2 (1/200) Class Basic Skill 2: Basic Fist Technique Lv.1 (65/100)+
The Martial Seed talent was even more abnormal than he had imagined.
The Hidden Dragon Stance had originally been nearly halfway from leveling up, yet after a few hours of practice, it had actually leveled up directly.
Fang Qingyu didn't hesitate and clicked the plus sign after Basic Fist Technique.
Congratulations. Your class basic skill "Basic Fist Technique" has reached Lv.2 (65/200).
When his mind touched the plus sign after Basic Fist Technique, Fang Qingyu suddenly felt as though the top of his skull had been pried open, creating a gap.
Countless pieces of information about Basic Fist Technique poured down.
"So this is how punches are supposed to be thrown?"
Fang Qingyu opened his eyes, excitement filling his gaze.
The feeling was like being born already knowing that one plus one equaled two. All the techniques related to Basic Fist Technique had merged seamlessly in his mind, without the slightest obstruction.
Moreover, when he recalled the process of practicing his punches earlier, he could spot many mistakes.
Therefore, the training postures corrected by the Martial Seed talent should be based on his current skill level, maximizing his experience gains.
After all, practicing with a level-one Stance Training Fist Technique definitely wouldn't grant class experience as efficiently as practicing with a level-two one.
He had already experienced this with the Security Guard class.
Fang Qingyu grew envious again.
Fortunately, the experience progress of the Delivery Driver and Security Guard classes wasn't slow.
He would be able to level them up again in a few days.
Thinking of this, Fang Qingyu didn't hesitate and assigned his remaining attribute point to Physique.
Physique: 9.5→10.5
Afterward, he hailed a taxi and had the driver go with him to change the tire behind the bar.
He had still been too careless.
Looking at the 200-yuan expense, Fang Qingyu regretted not taking something from the man in the suit yesterday.
After changing the tire, Fang Qingyu mounted his bike and prepared to start work for the day.
Xiao Si happened to come out through the back door at that moment.
"Qingzi, you're all right?"
Seeing Fang Qingyu looking as though nothing had happened, Xiao Si was somewhat surprised.
The bloodstains in the alley yesterday had been real enough.
"I'm fine. Thank you for warning me yesterday, Fourth Brother."
Fang Qingyu smiled and shook his head. Although Fourth Brother hadn't said it outright at the time, he had still intended to help Fang Qingyu avoid disaster.
After exchanging a few polite words, Fang Qingyu left.
Time was money to him now!
Xiao Si watched Fang Qingyu's departing back, then entered the bar through the back door and went straight to Brother Jiao's office.
Knock, knock~
"Come in."
Only Brother Jiao and his woman were in the office at that moment.
"Brother Jiao, do you remember Fang Qingyu from our bar? The one who was the first to notice when someone caused trouble here some time ago."
Brother Jiao thought for a moment. "I remember. What happened to him?"
"Yesterday, Shen Rui brought a few people to block him in the back alley, but today he actually came to work as though nothing had happened."
"I heard him say that he practices martial arts, and he's really short on money. He's been delivering takeout lately."
After hearing this, Brother Jiao patted his woman's butt, sat up straight, and turned on the computer.
He pulled up the surveillance footage from the back door the previous day.
Although it had been the middle of the night, there were lights by the back door, so it wasn't too dark.
The footage showed the entire process of Fang Qingyu taking on four people alone and beating them to the ground.
"Whoa, this kid really has some ruthlessness in him."
A Security Guard who could sit in an office with his woman naturally wasn't an ordinary Security Guard. Brother Jiao showed little reaction. After turning off the screen, he said to Xiao Si:
"When he comes tonight, tell him to come see me."
