We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 21
"Heh, how could that be?"

Wei Peng chuckled, completely disbelieving the boy's nonsense. This was the school hospital, not some shady place; how could such a thing happen here?

Shen Bailian gave a strange smile, put the apple from the knife into his mouth, and after swallowing it, he slowly said with his red lips and white teeth, "If you don't believe me, you can try and see if you can still feel it now."

"Gulu."

The boy's eerie smile, coupled with the hazy words he'd overheard in his sleep, made him swallow hard in fear. He quickly retorted, "Impossible! How could that be?"

Wei Peng stopped mid-sentence because he noticed something there.

It seems like I really can't feel anything anymore!
!!!

He panicked instantly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He could accept a broken leg, but he absolutely could not accept the loss of his penis; that was an excruciating pain he could not bear.

Despite the excruciating pain in his head, Wei Peng sat up abruptly and immediately reached for his precious spot.

"Whoo~"

After Wei Peng touched his most precious little brother, his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, immediately relaxed. He let out a long breath and murmured, "It's still there, it's still there..."

"Hahaha~"

After placing the knife on the counter, Shen Bailian laughed heartily and couldn't help but say, "You actually believed it? It's just that the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet."

"This is of utmost importance, how can we not be in a hurry?"

Wei Peng rolled his eyes at the other person and was about to withdraw his hand when...

boom!
A loud thud as something heavy hit the ground drew their attention.

Shen Bailian's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if he had forgotten an important person. Besides him and Wei Peng, there was a third person here!

"you you you……"

Qi Shiyu looked at Wei Peng's hand on the quilt, her face flushed, and covered her eyes with her hands, spilling the things she had just bought onto the ground.

"You, you, that's not right."

The moment Wei Peng saw the girl, his mind went blank. This surprise was no less than, no, even greater than winning five million!
"You guys chat for a bit, I'm going out to get a kettle of hot water."

Shen Bailian was stunned by the scene. He hadn't expected to encounter such a situation. In order to avoid being caught in the crossfire, he immediately went outside.

Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door.

In the ward.

"Shi, Shiyu, you have to believe me, I, I... I'm not that kind of person, no, I'm not that kind of person!"

When Wei Peng saw that his beloved girl was about to misunderstand him, he panicked. The usually fluent Wei Peng became a stutterer. He looked at the apples on the counter and suddenly realized the key point.

"It's Lao Shen, yes, it's Lao Shen, he just tricked me."

"Oh? Then why are your hands like that?"

"my hand?"

Wei Peng looked at his hand, still in that spot, and jerked up as if electrocuted. Remembering his embarrassing experience and the culprit who had escaped, he couldn't help but roar angrily:
"Shen Bailian, I will never forgive you!"

"Patients in room 312, please refrain from making loud noise."

"Ok."

Hearing the nurse's reminder coming from the walkie-talkie next to him, Wei Peng immediately slumped down and responded softly.

"Pfft~"

Seeing this scene, Qi Shiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing...

Wei Peng was completely mesmerized by this scene, and he had long forgotten what he had said on the stage earlier.

"Luckily, I escaped quickly."

Hearing the voices coming from the ward and sensing the resentment in them, Shen Bailian couldn't help but shiver.

"Wei Peng should have another half hour or so, which is just enough time for him to practice the Five Spirits Fist twice."

Thinking of this, Shen Bailian no longer hesitated. After glancing at the time and finding that it was only 5:30, he sent a message to his father and Wei Peng respectively.

He ran to the vending machine, bought some food to quickly replenish his energy and a few bottles of soda, and then rushed to the playground.

Time flies when you're focused on practicing.

By the time Shen Bailian felt the smart bracelet vibrate and came to his senses, it was already dusk.

He raised his right hand to check the time and realized it was already 6:26 PM.

"I actually practiced for forty-six minutes straight." Shen Bailian was deeply surprised.

In the past, he would rest for at least five or six minutes between each repetition of the Five Spirits Fist.

It seems his physical attributes have been boosted again.

Shen Bailian's thoughts stirred slightly, and his eyes, like ripples on a calm lake, instantly revealed several lines of clear small characters—

Name: Shen Bailian

Character Level 4 (221/700)

Physical Strength: 2.7; Spirit: 2.3

[Skill: Running LV2 (379/400)]

Iron Body LV1 (229/300)

Five Spirit Fist LV2 (190/400)

【Cure point: 1】

[Divine Matter: 1]

"Just as I expected."

Shen Bailian looked at the panel and saw that his physique attribute value had quietly increased from 2.6 to 2.7. The attribute value is only displayed to one decimal place, so it is usually only displayed when the increase is 0.1.

Only when the physical attribute value changes will the warm current that strengthens the physique surge within the body, but it mainly plays a stabilizing role.

Let's look at the skills panel again.

Although the training time was less than an hour, the gains were still considerable.

My running skill has increased by 8 experience points, and I'm not far from leveling up. I just need to run one more half marathon.

The Iron Body skill gained 39 experience points, 18 of which were gained during the few minutes of fighting Li Tianxing. The experience bar is already more than half full.

Finally, there's the Five Elements Fist, which will probably need about ten more repetitions before it's upgraded.

At this rate, his strength will see another qualitative leap in less than a week, giving him a greater sense of confidence for the upcoming Sanqing Mountain Trial.

Shen Bailian was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

"You bastard, I've finally found you."

Wei Peng's injuries had almost fully healed. He wrapped his arms around Shen Bailian's neck from behind and threatened with a smile, "Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my losses?"

He seemed determined to get something out of him.

"compensate?"

"Yeah, you made me look so bad today, shouldn't you make it up to me?"

"You've got it wrong, haven't you?" Shen Bailian moved his arm away and said seriously, "Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

"Thank you?" Wei Peng was stunned.

"Yeah, otherwise, would you have had any time alone with Qi Shiyu today?"

"Hmm~, that makes sense."

Upon hearing this, Wei Peng frowned and began to ponder. Although something seemed a bit off, he felt there was some truth to it.

"Right, and..."

As Shen Bailian spoke, she gently snatched her schoolbag back, then suddenly patted Wei Peng's face lightly, saying, "You're so silly, you got fooled by me again!"

"!"

Wei Peng immediately realized what was happening and was about to retaliate when he discovered that Shen Bailian had already run more than ten meters away, laughing as she ran.

"Damn it! You bastard, stop right there!"

Wei Peng immediately chased after him.

"Hahaha, Wei Peng is a big idiot."

Shen Bailian certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to stand still; he ran while shouting loudly.

In the quiet campus, the pale red glow of the sunset shone through the clouds and shone on two running boys, casting two long, slender shadows.
