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

Chapter 4 Innate Body of Horizontal Strength
"Whoo~"

In the early morning, Shen Bailian, dressed in a black tracksuit, took a deep breath and slowly stopped in front of a breakfast stall. Beads of sweat glistened in the dim morning light and slowly gathered at the ends of his hair.

[Complete a 21km run, running experience +21, Iron Body experience +4, character level experience +21]

Because it was the weekend, most students and office workers were still at home sleeping in, so there were very few people in the store.

Several elderly men wearing vests and shorts sat together, chatting and eating breakfast.

Shen Bailian glanced at it casually before looking away.

"Uncle Hammer, give me six fried dough sticks, six baskets of pork buns, and three cups of soy milk."

"okay."

The honest-looking middle-aged man readily replied, but his hands were just as efficient. In less than ten seconds, he had packed everything into a white plastic bag.

"Be careful, it's hot. Here are three more tea eggs for you. Grow up strong and become a martial artist soon."

"Thank you, Uncle Hammer."

Shen Bailian smiled and nodded. After paying with his bracelet, he picked up the plastic bag and strolled leisurely towards home.

Uncle Hammer and his father were old acquaintances, so every time he bought breakfast, he would take a detour to buy it here.

It's 6:30 in the morning.

Shen Bailian left home at 5:30 a.m. and, following his established habit, began running along a fixed route to exercise until now.

This is a habit he developed after obtaining the control panel.

The original purpose of the "strengthening the body" was mainly to increase energy, allowing Shen Bailian to easily enter a state of deep sleep. Five hours of sleep was equivalent to eight or nine hours of sleep for an average person.

As for the improvement in physical fitness, it wasn't as significant as I had imagined, perhaps because my level was too low.

However, this simple "strengthening" skill can keep Shen Bailian energetic all day long. With improved sleep efficiency, the time he can devote to fitness will naturally increase significantly.

The advanced version of [Strengthen Body], [Iron Body], while retaining the functions of the former, focuses primarily on improving three aspects: resistance to attacks, physique, and strength.

If this had happened during my previous high-intensity training phase, I probably would have collapsed by now.

To give a real-world example, Shen Bailian's world record for the half marathon in his previous life was 57 minutes and 31 seconds, and excluding the time spent warming up, Shen Bailian's time to run 2,000 meters was less than 45 minutes.

Keep in mind that once you reach your limit, every second you improve is a huge improvement, let alone a difference of more than ten minutes.
If it weren't for his innate ability to cultivate a divine physique, it would be almost impossible for him to reach this level without relying on technological advancements.

What's even more frightening is that Shen Bailian still has about 20% to 30% of his stamina left, which means that his speed can be even faster and his endurance is far from exhausted.

How about I ask for leave today?

As Shen Bailian walked, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

According to the original plan, relying on his innate physical body, he was able to get into a martial arts academy no matter what.

However, now that an eight-school alliance has emerged, the current rate of improvement is far from enough to achieve a top-three ranking among thousands of high school students of the same grade, and they also need to learn some martial arts moves.

The best way to learn martial arts techniques in modern times is to go to a martial arts school.

Shen Bailian had already set his sights on a martial arts school, but because he didn't have enough funds and there was nothing urgent, he didn't ask his family for money. He had been saving money through tutoring jobs he found and the rewards given by the school.

By now, he has saved up more than six thousand yuan in his savings account, enough to buy the lowest-end course at that martial arts school.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Bailian raised his wrist.

"Xiao Ai, dial Aunt Lin's number."

"Okay, Xiao Ai is connecting you, please wait." An AI-synthesized voice came from the smart bracelet.

A moment later, a somewhat languid voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is this Xiao Shen? Is there something you need?"

"Aunt Lin, I have some things to do this week, so I won't be able to tutor Dudu for the time being."

On the other end of the phone was a beautiful young woman in her thirties. She had delicate features, a face as beautiful as the moon, and a pair of clear, bright eyes. Her red lips were slightly parted as she yawned, exuding a gentle and tranquil charm.

She was holding a little girl of about six or seven years old in her arms, revealing two white arms that looked like lotus roots.

The little girl's ears twitched slightly as she heard the faint sounds coming from the other end of the phone. A hint of joy secretly appeared on her face, but on the surface, she looked extremely sad and sighed, "Mom, what a pity, I can't study today."

Lin Baiwei looked down at Dudu, whose expression she thought she had hidden well was completely visible to her, and in an instant, she had an idea.

She reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek, smiling as she said, "Okay, perfect. I'm home today, so I can let her do a little quiz."

"Thank you, Aunt Lin. I'll hang up now." Shen Lian said as he prepared to hang up the phone.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft, sweet voice calling for help came faintly from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing the word "test," Dudu's pupils dilated sharply. She looked at Lin Baiwei in disbelief and reached out to snatch the smart bracelet.

"Brother Bailian, don't hang up. I can come to your house for tutoring."

"Dudu, be good. Teacher Shen is a bit busy this week. Let's do a test today to see how much you've improved in the last few days."

"No~~"

"By the way, Xiao Shen, I'll transfer your tutoring fee to your card later."

Just before Shen Bailian hung up the phone, Lin Baiwei suddenly added a sentence.

Shen Bailian was taken aback, because it wasn't payday yet.

"Thank you Aunt Lin."

Du~du~du~
Hearing the lingering sound coming from the headphones, Shen Bailian couldn't help but smile.

Due to the rapid development of technology in the New Era, coupled with the improvement in physical fitness and brain capacity in the Mythical Era, students' academic burden has not only not decreased, but the pressure has actually increased.

For example, high school freshmen now have to start learning advanced mathematics and calculus, and be able to apply them proficiently.

Therefore, many relatively wealthy families hire tutors at a young age, but they usually hire professional tutors or college students. As for high school students, almost no one wants them.

The protagonist met Dudu, who was out having fun, by chance during her second year of high school. Dudu insisted that Shen Bailian be her tutor.

Because Aunt Lin gave him a lot, she taught him very seriously, and he went from being a temporary worker to a full-time employee.

"Your bank card account xxxx received an online payment of 3000 yuan on April 13th, leaving a balance of 9235.35 yuan."

"Your payment income is 3200 yuan, and your balance after the transaction is 12435.35 yuan."

The two consecutive pieces of news brought Shen Bailian back from his reverie.

The first source of income was the school. In order to encourage students' enthusiasm for martial arts, various awards were set up in the monthly comprehensive evaluation. Shen Lian won the Best Improvement Award in Fist Power, with a prize of 3000 yuan. The evaluation was conducted once a month.

The second source of income was Aunt Lin, who provided tutoring twice a week for two hours each time. The tutoring fee was 200 yuan, twice the amount offered by the institution, and it was settled monthly with very punctual payment.

In less than ten minutes, Shen Bailian arrived home. After placing the breakfast he had bought on the counter, he prepared to help his father get off the chair to eat breakfast before heading to the martial arts school to register.
The book is scheduled to be released at 0:01 AM. If any readers would prefer, the release time can be changed to the morning or noon.
