Chapter 1138: Keep Pushing Forward
The entire training room had only Ji You and Mu Jianling.
Ji You stiffened his neck, unwilling to admit his strength was due to that special item, because if he admitted it, wouldn’t it mean his improvement was due to external forces? Then—
Wouldn’t he be unable to ask Teacher Mu Jianling for candy beans or sugar pills as a reward?
Exactly.
Ji You was still thinking about the candy beans and sugar pills in Teacher Mu Jianling’s hands...
Ever since he ate a sugar pill, Ji You couldn’t forget it.
Five million!
Five million for one pill.
Ji You jumped around making a fuss, while Mu Jianling remained unmoved, calmly saying, "Some people ate a special item and in one night went from E-level physical level to S-Class. And you?"
Mu Jianling paused here, especially when she saw Ji You’s face stiffen and his smile grow more bitter, and then she continued, "Think about it yourself, do you really think you deserve a reward?"
Ji You: "..."
Mu Jianling was about to say something else when Ji You loudly said, "Of course I do!!"
Mu Jianling: "..."
Mu Jianling’s palm felt itchy, but she resisted the urge.
Ji You confidently shouted, "Others are others, I am me! People shouldn’t be compared like that, besides, if we really want to compare, then how many people in this world can find their own special item?"
"A one in a billion chance!"
"And I—" Ji You took a deep breath and shouted, "Ji You! Ji You is the one who found the special item! I found my special item through my own skills and ability! Don’t say it’s because of luck or anything... Having this special item is a testament to my skills and ability! I believe I’m already excellent enough, you should give me 100 sugar pills as a reward!"
Listening to this, Mu Jianling’s hands felt even itchier, and the urge to strike amplified, but Mu Jianling’s smile grew, and she sternly said, "Indeed, it reflects your ability."
Ji You huffed, "Now that sounds reasonable."
Ji You thought she was bracing for Teacher Mu Jianling’s sarcasm and sharp tongue, but unexpectedly, Teacher Mu Jianling didn’t deal any blows but rather said, "If your physical level hits a barrier, the only way to break through is training, training, constant training, exhausting your physical fitness over and over again..."
Then Mu Jianling shifted the tone, saying, "Ji You, your journey of challenges hasn’t started yet? Do you intend to sit and wait for others to come to you?"
Ji You was stunned.
In United University’s top hundred list, the only way to improve your ranking is to challenge and defeat your opponents.
Previously, Ji You considered challenging the top hundred students, but her studies were too busy to visit other planets or even other star systems to face one opponent after another.
But!!!
Ji You loudly said, "No way! I plan to challenge everyone in the top hundred."
Mu Jianling twitched her mouth. This kid, every time you say something to her, she’ll choke you half dead... Mu Jianling meant for Ji You to actively initiate challenges, regardless of winning or losing, to increase her combat practice.
Ultimately, talking on paper feels shallow, and true strength enhancement comes not from drills but through actual combat!
Mu Jianling coldly said, "Lower your goals a bit, for example, start by defeating your classmates, your alumni, your teachers..."
"Cough cough..." Ji You choked. Classmates and alumni she could attempt challenging, but at this stage, facing the likes of Mu Jianling the devil, Principal Hong, or Dr. Luo... these terrifying beings? Ji You thought she should take it slow.
But!
Ji You took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I understand, I will initiate challenges within the school to my strong classmates, seniors, and juniors."
Mu Jianling smiled and said, "Not bad."
Then—
Suddenly Mu Jianling said, "Your body strength is already at 8999, about to break through 9000, which is a major barrier, perhaps breaking through is instantaneous, perhaps it’ll take a year, ten years, or twenty years..."
What does 9000 strength mean?
Before entering, the average body strength for the entire Combat Department was about 900, with the highest being Chu Jiaojiao, reaching 4099, making her the indisputable number one in the 131st Combat Department, and now?
Ji You is already over twice as much as Chu Jiaojiao at that time.
How about current students?
The 131st Combat Department’s average student body strength is 2500 points.
Ji You has exceeded the average by far.
Additionally—
Currently, Chu Jiaojiao’s body strength also improved significantly, although only reaching 7999, not yet breaking 8000. How strong is Chu Jiaojiao? Just a casual punch could kill a cow.
Ji You’s power has surpassed Chu Jiaojiao.
Furthermore, Ji You’s physical level is only at B-level.
Chu Jiaojiao?
Chu Jiaojiao has an S-Class physique.
The talent level gap is quite significant, yet the power exceeds that of the opponent.
Ji You believes as long as her physical level rises, her power will also increase. But now, Teacher Mu Jianling mentioned that achieving 9000 power might take years or decades...
Just thinking about it makes Ji You feel a bit depressed and regretful.
But it’s only fleeting, Ji You quickly returned to normal, giving Teacher Mu Jianling a sweet smile, saying, "Teacher, rest assured, I will break through 9000 points soon!"
Is it just about effort?
Well, she’s not lacking.
Is it about going all out?
She’s fearless.
No need for useless thoughts, no need for panic, face every challenge calmly as it comes!
Ji You loudly said, "Teacher, I will certainly strive harder."
Mu Jianling lightly snorted and said, "I will have Dr. Luo prepare some medicine baths for you, combine them with your training."
"Is there such a nice thing?" Ji You couldn’t believe her ears.
The next second.
Mu Jianling said, "The cost will be deducted from your personal account."
Ji You: "..."
Of course.
There’s always a charge involved. She knew perfectly well that from Teacher Mu Jianling, there’d be no such thing as a free lunch.
"The special item within your body might still have residues, requiring some auxiliary measures to absorb these residues for nourishment..." Mu Jianling didn’t continue this topic but rather said, "The ninth layer of the Body Building Technique, it doesn’t require spiritual power, only—"
