On the grounds of the primary school in Panlong Town, Liu Qiang had brought Chen Jue to the place where he taught every day.
The township primary school had a rubberized running track. Although it was not a standard 4 × 100-meter track, it had everything from a sandpit, basketball hoops, and soccer goals to table tennis tables. Beside it stood a sizable covered sports area with badminton nets inside, more than enough for the pupils' daily use.
Compared with the cinder track at the now-abandoned Shannan Primary School, this township school's facilities were almost on par with those in the city.
Liu Qiang's summer training class borrowed this venue. He was the school's PE teacher and used this semi-open sports ground on weekends and during the summer and winter holidays to teach the Body-Tempering Exercise.
A dozen or so people had come to class today, mostly teenage students, with a few young people around twenty. Only one male trainee looked somewhat more mature, appearing to be over forty.
The trainees spanned such a wide range of ages because the spread of the Body-Tempering Exercise had touched every aspect of life.
According to the information Chen Jue had previously read in the Guide to the Body-Tempering Exercise, it had become a compulsory examination subject for students advancing through their education, starting in junior and senior high school.
Except for special groups such as those with disabilities, ordinary junior high students had to reach level two in the Body-Tempering Exercise to pass the PE examination before graduation and advancement.
The senior high school proficiency examination required level three, while students specializing in sports were required to reach level four.
Although these ratings did not affect final examination scores, failing to meet the standard would affect school-zone placement when entering senior high
