Chapter 1137: Endless Benefits
Mu Jianling didn’t answer Ji You’s question. She just glanced at Ji You with an extremely indifferent expression, then continued to be silent.
Ji You: "???"
Ji You blinked: "Teacher... How exactly is the Concealment Technique of the Ninth Layer of the Fierce Tiger Body Forging Technique?"
Mu Jianling stayed silent.
Ji You asked again: "Why, even though it counts as spiritual training, is it included in Body Building Technique?"
Mu Jianling frowned, still not saying a word.
Ji You, persistent, leaned over and continued to ask: "I’ve already succeeded in the Spirit Shielding Technique twice. With more practice, I should be able to master this skill, right?"
This time, the constantly nagging Ji You seemed to finally give Mu Jianling, who was deep in thought, a headache, as if she wanted to sew Ji You’s lips shut with a needle and thread.
So, Mu Jianling slightly turned her eyes, staring at Ji You, and said: "I think the most important thing for you to do is shut up."
Upon hearing this, Ji You quickly raised her hand, making an action as if she was automatically locking her lips.
Only then was Mu Jianling slightly satisfied. Afterward, she said: "Your situation is a bit special; you’re the type who, despite being very weak, can’t be beaten to death."
"!" Ji You opened her mouth wide: "Teacher, can I take your words as a compliment?"
Mu Jianling ignored Ji You’s opportunistic self-praise, continuing to stare at Ji You’s face, and watch the changes in her limbs, facial expressions, and energy and blood state while speaking and acting...
Being stared at like this, Ji You felt her heartbeat race. Teacher Mu’s gaze was like a searchlight, sweeping across her body inch by inch. It felt as if she were lying on an autopsy table...
Unconsciously, Ji You took a few steps back and said: "Teacher... Please stop staring. I’m just an ordinary person, nothing interesting to study..."
Mu Jianling suddenly pointed to a power detector beside them and said: "Try hitting it."
Ji You was taken aback: "Now?"
Mu Jianling snorted coldly: "Of course."
Ji You immediately stepped forward, swung her fist, and smashed it into the detector!
Boom——
The moment her fist hit, the entire detector shook.
Ji You looked at the display screen with anticipation, only to see a large number displayed:
[Strength: 8999.]
Seeing this number, Ji You’s eyes widened: "How is this possible?"
Last semester, her test was only 3500, and after just one holiday, how could it have increased so sharply? Ji You found it incredible and immediately approached the detector to take a closer look: "No... no problem."
If it wasn’t a malfunctioning machine, then—
Could she be broken?
This thought emerged, and Ji You’s face darkened. Then she swung her fist again, this time concentrating her strength and swinging it forcefully, only to hear—
Bang!!!
After a round of throbbing from the detector, it quickly displayed a number:
[Strength: 8999.09.]
Ji You: "!!!"
Ji You opened her mouth wide: "No... no way?" Not only did the number not decrease, it increased?
Ji You could never forget the number from her first test, an embarrassing number that, to this day, left her mortified. It never broke into three digits, and often had single digits, leading Ji You to wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes or brain.
But—
Now, it was on the verge of breaking 9000!
At this moment, Mu Jianling suddenly said: "Hit it again."
Ji You swung her fist!
Bang!
[Strength: 8999.101.]
Mu Jianling said: "Keep going."
Ji You punched again.
[Strength: 8999.104.]
Mu Jianling said: "Once more."
Ji You swung her fist.
[Strength: 8999.106.]
After that, Teacher Mu Jianling didn’t call stop, and Ji You continued to punch over and over until the number she hit started to drop, only then did Mu Jianling call a halt.
After withdrawing her hand, Ji You couldn’t help but massage her hands, which were almost numb...
Mu Jianling said: "Your maximum value can’t break through 9000 points for now, it seems you’ve hit a barrier that hasn’t been broken."
Ji You, upon hearing this, was not disappointed; instead, she seemed very pleased, leaning closer to teacher Mu Jianling, and extending her hand for a reward: "Teacher, look how I’ve improved so much in just one semester, my strength jumped from a single digit to nearly 9000! A 9000-fold improvement, how terrifying is this speed, someone like me is practically a genius among geniuses, shouldn’t I get a little reward?"
Mu Jianling cast her a cold glance.
Ji You, instead of being scared to retreat, leaned in even closer and said: "Teacher... give me just a token reward, a couple hundred Candy Beans, sugar pills or so, I wouldn’t mind."
Saying this, she muttered softly: "Even though this reward might lack creativity, it’s practical."
Mu Jianling: "Oh— maybe you do deserve a reward."
Ji You’s eyes brightened as she heard Mu Jianling say: "Since you’ve made such a mess of the training room, I’ll reward you with cleaning the training room for a week."
Ji You: "!!!"
Ji You was almost suffocating: "Teacher... you can’t do this to me, I’m very busy, I really don’t have time to clean. If you’re short on cleaners, I can introduce some to you. Sheng Qingyan and the others are quite free."
Mu Jianling ignored Ji You’s words, and calmly said: "9000-fold improvement is indeed impressive."
Ji You smiled cheerfully: "Isn’t it?"
The next second.
Mu Jianling snorted: "After consuming a special item, you only improved your physical fitness by less than 2 times, and you have the cheek to demand a reward? Isn’t your face feeling hot? How thick-skinned must one be to utter such words."
"..." Ji You: "...Teacher, it’s impossible! My physical strength improvement is absolutely not due to the special item." As she spoke, Ji You felt a bit uneasy, because, with her current 2B talent, the maximum strength she reached before was 3500, and after completing a group task during the holidays and coincidentally consuming a special item, although there was no immediate reaction in Ji You’s body, and even the special item which was the Iron Plate, providing zero benefit to her and her Spiritual Silk...
Ji You almost forgot about this thing.
When she returned to school for classes, especially during physical training, the change in Ji You’s physical strength was most evident, as she felt her body becoming healthier and her physical fitness stronger than before. She didn’t understand why back then, but now on reflection...
It seems...
It could be...
Perhaps...
It truly was due to that special item?
Of course, Ji You merely suspects this, as she cannot prove it. Now that Teacher Mu Jianling has pointed it out, Ji You inwardly believes it, but still stubbornly refuses to admit it, shouting: "My genius is innate, absolutely not due to any special item."
