A weekend "date"

Saturday.

Donghai No. 1 High School still held classes, practically determined to squeeze every last minute out of its students.

After school that afternoon.

Fang Yuan went to the library as usual.

Often, he went to the library not to borrow books, but mainly to look at the conical sculpture.

If anything inside it was discovered, he could notice ahead of time and prepare.

He ran into Han Youwei when he entered the library.

Han Youwei waved in greeting and said, "I've already returned The Devil's Opened Eyes."

To borrow books from the school library, students had to bring their student IDs in person.

Returns did not have to be made in person, as long as the books arrived.

All the library's books had labels on them.

Sometimes, if someone accidentally lost a book, whoever found it could take it straight back to the library.

"Finished it already?" Fang Yuan asked casually, his gaze sweeping seemingly idly over the geometric sculpture.

"I just flipped through it."

Han Youwei tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and asked, "Is something wrong with your martial arts gym's website? All your sessions for the next month are booked. I couldn't reserve even one."

"Do you really need a sparring partner?" Since she had brought it up twice, Fang Yuan asked casually.

"Not really. It's just that after learning the Star Power cultivation model, my Spirit attribute went up a little. I wanted to test whether an increase in Spirit improves the effects of Static Electricity Control," Han Youwei replied.

"I see. Then come to the gym tomorrow afternoon," Fang Yuan replied after a moment's thought.

"Are you covering someone's shift tomorrow too?" Han Youwei asked in puzzlement.

"No. No matter how hard I work, I still need to catch my breath on the weekend," Fang Yuan replied.

"Then how do we count the session?"

"What? Got so used to being treated like God that you can't just spar with a classmate over the weekend?" Fang Yuan teased with a straight face.

Han Youwei smiled with pursed lips. "All right, then. See you at the gym tomorrow afternoon. I'll head off first."

The two waved goodbye.

Sunday afternoon.

Thunder Martial Arts Gym.

It was half past two when Fang Yuan strolled leisurely into the gym and saw Han Youwei already hitting a punching bag on the platform.

"When did you get here?" Fang Yuan asked as he put on his protective gear.

"Right after lunch," Han Youwei replied.

Fang Yuan tilted his head back and thought for a moment, then said, speechless, "Doesn't that mean you've been waiting for two hours?"

"Not quite two hours. My family has a lot of rules at the table, so meals take longer." Han Youwei stopped hitting the punching bag and asked the gym staff to carry it off the platform.

"I came according to the school's class schedule. Since you got here so much earlier, you could've called me." Fang Yuan finished putting on his protective gear and stepped onto the martial arts platform.

"It's fine. I'd just be practicing my punches and kicks at home anyway. Besides, today doesn't count as a paid session, so I'm not God anymore." Han Youwei wore an expression as though her status had hit rock bottom.

"How do you want to test it? Want to zap me?" Fang Yuan winked at her.

"Yes, zap you!" Han Youwei retorted playfully, preparing to begin.

Once Fang Yuan was ready, he beckoned to her.

Han Youwei stepped forward and swept her leg around in a spinning kick.

Fang Yuan used a light Gliding Step and dodged easily.

Han Youwei was a little surprised by his evasive movement.

She had only used sixty percent of her strength in that kick.

That was because she was worried she would hurt Fang Yuan if she went all out.

Her concern was not unfounded, since her Star Power level had risen to Lv.2 over summer break.

For a Lv.1 Awakener, 20 Strength was a limit that was difficult to reach.

But a Lv.2 Awakener could easily exceed 20 Strength.

That was because, in the Awakener database, the average attribute value for Lv.2 Awakeners was 22.7.

Han Youwei's Star Power level had broken through to Lv.2 near the end of summer break, so her attributes had been rising very quickly lately. Her Agility and Spirit had already exceeded 20, and her Strength had reached 19 and was still rising rapidly.

With her current physical abilities, even without using her ability, a casual kick could knock out a Lv.1 Awakener.

That was why she had only used sixty percent of her strength in that kick, worried she might actually injure Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan's dodge had been faster than she expected-much faster.

Han Youwei did not ask about it. Instead, she attacked again, using another ten percent of her strength.

Fang Yuan still handled it easily, so she increased her strength again.

Even when she used her full strength, Fang Yuan could still handle it steadily.

"Don't tell me you've reached Lv.2 too?" Han Youwei asked curiously.

"No, still Lv.1." Fang Yuan shook his head.

"But your Strength must be at least 19, right? Otherwise, you shouldn't be able to handle my spinning side kick." Han Youwei did not have an ability like Iris Data, so she could only guess.

"Yep."

"Then aren't you almost at the Lv.1 limit?"

"Yep."

"That's not right. Your Agility shouldn't be low either." Han Youwei still felt something was off.

Her own Agility had already reached 22, yet Fang Yuan had actually evaded her full-strength spinning side kick with a Gliding Step.

"It's decent. I only trained my Agility up to 19 a few days ago," Fang Yuan replied.

Han Youwei's eyes widened, and she blinked several times. "Your Strength and Agility are both at 19? Then you have dual high attributes."

She was astonished.

Although her own Agility had already reached 22, higher than Fang Yuan's 19.

That was not how the two should be compared.

Her Star Power level had already broken through to Lv.2, and the average attribute value for Lv.2 Awakeners was 22.7.

So there was nothing strange about her Agility reaching 22.

Fang Yuan was different.

Fang Yuan's Star Power level was Lv.1, and his attribute limit was 20.

Moreover, reaching the attribute limit was extremely difficult. Reaching 19 was already very high.

Yet Fang Yuan's Strength and Agility had both reached 19. These dual high attributes were a prerequisite for becoming a super soldier.

"Not bad, not bad. Still a little short of the limit."

Fang Yuan grinned, but inwardly he said, If I told you my Spirit attribute was already at 20, would your jaw drop?

Han Youwei said with pleasant surprise, "No wonder you changed your mind about applying for the martial arts track. Turns out you're this talented."

"Not bad, not bad. It's all thanks to your help."

Fang Yuan was telling the absolute truth. Although he had not gained any Rage Points from Han Youwei, he had milked quite a few out of Li Weilian because of her.

Fang Yuan checked his Rage Points. He already had 330.

His Strength and Agility had both reached 19. Raising them further would mean breaking through the limits of a Lv.1 Awakener.

Under normal circumstances, that limit could not be broken.

He did not know whether Rage Points could raise his Strength and Agility to 21. If they could break through the level cap, this ability would be a little too powerful.

Still, he did not have enough Rage Points yet. He needed to save up some more.

"Let's start testing your Static Electricity Control. I say you just zap me." Fang Yuan held out his hand.

"All right." Han Youwei held out her hand too.

Fang Yuan held her palm. It felt soft. This was his first time holding her hand, and he had never expected it to happen under these circumstances.

Immediately afterward, Fang Yuan discovered that his Rage Points were skyrocketing.

As fiercely as a volcanic eruption.

Is this girl's anger trigger really that weird? We're just holding hands. How could that make her so angry?

Then he looked back and saw Li Weilian again.

This guy really haunted him like a lingering ghost.

He had come all this way just to deliver Rage Points. Fang Yuan was almost moved by such selfless dedication.
