“Your punching angle is too high, lower it a bit, that way you can exert more force.”
“Your legs are clamped too tightly, spread them out a bit.”
“You also need to adjust your stance, don’t face your opponent straight on, but at a slight angle.”
It was Saturday, four o’clock in the afternoon, at Shen Qinghan’s house.
After finishing his training at home, Lin Zichen came over to give Shen Qinghan a special lesson, patiently instructing her martial arts techniques.
Shen Qinghan was extremely serious about her learning, doing exactly as Lin Zichen instructed.
Feeling that the issues had been mostly corrected, Lin Zichen said to her:
“Come on, let’s put it into practice, attack me with all your strength.”
“Okay, here I come.”
With that said, Shen Qinghan propelled herself forward with a strong push from her calf, quickly rushing towards Lin Zichen.
She was well aware of how strong Lin Zichen was, so she didn’t hold back at all and attacked with full force.
“Smack!”
Lin Zichen caught her incoming fist and said with an approving face, “Not bad, the punching angle is very standard, and the force you exerted is much greater than before.”
“Smack!”
Lin Zichen caught her sweeping leg and patiently corrected her, “The posture for your sweep is incorrect; don’t clamp your legs so tightly before the sweep, space them out a bit.”
“Now, using the correction I just made, try the same move again.”
“Alright.”
“Smack! Smack! Smack…”
With a series of blows from punches and kicks echoing around them.
Before they knew it, more than two hours had passed by.
After such extensive training, Shen Qinghan was completely exhausted, sitting on the ground drenched in sweat and panting.
But she didn’t find it tiresome at all, instead, she felt incredibly fulfilled.
Because, after over two hours of special training with Lin Zichen, she could clearly feel her martial arts strength had improved.
If before her martial arts strength was a 75, now it was at least an 80.
“Xiao Chen, I think three times a week isn’t enough, can we have special training every day?”
Shen Qinghan wanted to defeat Wen Yuntong and Chu Yuxi on the Martial Stage as soon as possible and rip off the label of being ranked last in the whole class from herself.
Lin Zichen shook his head and said, “No need, three times a week is already a lot; you wouldn’t be able to handle it if it were every day.”
Shen Qinghan thought that made sense, “Alright then, three times a week it is.”
At this moment, the sound of a WeChat voice message notification rang out.
Lin Zichen answered the voice call, and soon Zhang Wanxin’s voice came through, saying that dinner was almost ready and to come over for the meal.
Shen Jianye and Xu Meng, both being high school class advisors, were often too busy to come home and cook, usually having to settle for the school canteen.
Under such circumstances, the couple would have Shen Qinghan go to Lin Zichen’s house for meals.
And today, the couple was too busy to come home to make dinner.
After ending the voice chat.
Lin Zichen turned to Shen Qinghan and said, “You’re covered in sweat, go take a shower. After that, we’ll head over for dinner.”
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
Having said that, Shen Qinghan sat on the floor and started taking off her shoes and socks, getting ready to go to the bathroom for a shower.
“Xiao Chen, it’s so strange, other people’s socks smell after they exercise and sweat, but mine don’t smell at all.” Shen Qinghan sniffed the sock she had taken off and then handed it to Lin Zichen, saying, “Smell it, see if it’s true.”
Smell what the heck… Lin Zichen’s mouth twitched slightly, not giving Shen Qinghan’s sock even a glance.
Seeing his twitching mouth, Shen Qinghan playfully laughed and said, “Just kidding, I’m not that weird to make you smell my socks.”
“If only you could be this whimsical at school as well.”
“That’s impossible, I only act like this around you.”
“Alright, go take a shower, or my mom will call again soon to hurry you.”
“I’m going now.”
After leaving those words behind, Shen Qinghan got up to take a shower.
Watching her departing figure, Lin Zichen slipped into deep thought.
Whether it was the inability to hold urine from childhood, the aquatic talent that exceeded ordinary people, or the sweat that didn’t smell bad but was even slightly fragrant.
All of these unique aspects were related to water.
Why was her body like this?
What secrets lay within?
As he wondered, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He took it out and saw a notification from the novel website’s editor, stating that his book would be going live for paid access next Wednesday.
Lin Zichen replied, “Got it,” and then opened the writer’s assistant app to check the novel’s statistics.
An update for a month, 150,000 words written, and over 20,000 readers had added it to their favorites.
The data was quite impressive, showing promise of excellence.
Hoping that the performance would soar after going live, he wished to earn more manuscript fees, aspiring to unlock the Ferocious Great Eagle album as soon as possible…
With that thought, Lin Zichen posted a notice to inform his readers that the book would go live next Wednesday.
Afterwards, he logged out of the author’s backend and started browsing the news on his phone.
“After many days of effort by the public security department, the number of rats in the city area has significantly decreased, earning the praise of the general public.”
“Ji Shen Group has declared on its official website that it will treat, free of charge, a once genius girl with mechanical talents who has become physically disabled due to premature mechanical modifications.”
“Capital University genius successfully integrates Exotic Beast Gene of the Thousand-Thread Spider, breaking the university’s record for the youngest person to undergo a second Genetic Fusion.”
Seeing the words “Capital University genius,” Lin Zichen’s first thought was of the prodigy from Capital City of yesteryear.
He clicked on it and indeed it was the same person.
About this, he felt a bit surprised.
He had looked into the genius’s information before, who was only a year and a half older than him, meaning they hadn’t quite reached eighteen this year.
Under normal circumstances, most people would have to wait until they were adults to undergo Genetic Fusion.
Otherwise, the body wouldn’t be able to handle the dominance of the Exotic Beast Gene, and mutations were likely to occur.
However, this prodigy from Capital City, now tagged as Capital University genius, had undergone a second Genetic Fusion before turning eighteen.
Such genetic talent was truly formidable.
Musing on this, Lin Zichen clicked on the video embedded in the news.
Watching the Capital City genius shooting webs and swinging around the buildings like Spider-Man was pretty cool.
In the meantime, Shen Qinghan came out from the shower.
Now her hair was slightly damp, her fair face flushed with a hint of red, wearing a light pink skirt that just covered her knees, showing off her slender and snowy white calves, looking elegant and graceful.
“Xiao Chen, is your book going live?”
While toweling off her hair, Shen Qinghan looked down at her phone and saw the notification Lin Zichen had just posted about his book going live.
Lin Zichen responded, “Yeah, the editor said it would go live next Wednesday at noon.”
“Then I’ll go leave you a good review!”
Having said that, Shen Qinghan sprang into action, logging into over a dozen of her alts and started to act as a one-woman army in the review section of Lin Zichen’s book.
Lin Zichen opened the author’s backend and saw that in less than 5 minutes, Shen Qinghan had already switched through 17 accounts, leaving nearly 20 good reviews.
Dang, what kind of army commander was she?
