Chapter 20: 020 Absolutely powerful boost

The next day, June 30, morning.

In the bathroom, water flowed along the tiles, gradually draining away.

In front of the mirror, a young man stood expressionlessly. He slowly stretched out his robust arms, observing the protruding muscles and the thick blue veins pulsing beneath his skin. Slowly turning around, he glanced sideways at his back.

His shoulders resembled the wings of a soaring eagle, radiating strength.

His skin had also undergone significant changes, from its original roughness to now appearing as if it were coated with a layer of ointment. It was translucent, thick, and glossy.

The bathroom's mesh window was half-open, and the dazzling sunlight fragmented as it shone through, illuminating Bai Xiao's upper body with fine golden light, making him look like a young cheetah, poised to strike.

“Is this my physique now?”

“Good!”

He shifted his gaze away, feeling a strong sense of security within him.

His body, enveloped in muscles, didn't feel suffocating, but rather brought immense comfort as if he were wearing a layer of hard armor, capable of warding off danger.

In front of his gaze, his personal panel suddenly displayed.

[Power: 11.9→13.0]

[Speed: 10.8→11.6]

[Physique: 11.3→12.3]

[Will: 11.3→11.7]

Power +1.1, Speed +0.8, Physique +1.0, Will +0.4!

Bai Xiao's average four-dimensional attributes had now surpassed 12.

Especially the power attribute, which had reached an astounding 13!

“I am becoming stronger at a visibly rapid pace!”

“Such an enthralling feeling…”

He ran his hand over his arm.

The muscular contours were angular, firm yet full.

With a deep breath, Bai Xiao stepped out of the bathroom.

Two minutes later, in the room's open space, he began warming up, fully dressed.

Whoosh!

Progressively, Bai Xiao's figure dashed, moving as swiftly as a rabbit.

Tss!

His fist unleashed furiously, piercing through the air at an extremely fast speed.

Leaving behind a short and sharp whooshing sound.

“Let's try Sandboxing again…”

He shifted his stance, instantly switching to a Sandboxing combat position. The next second, Bai Xiao fiercely threw punches, unleashing a series of fierce and potent blows.

Fast, ferocious, fierce!

It was completely a feeling of mastering the skill as if it were second nature!

Swoosh!

His palm struck out swiftly cutting through the air and smoothly retracted.

“Is this what it means to master Sandboxing?”

Bai Xiao squinted his eyes, a smile of excitement appearing on his face.

Last night, he did not go out to deliver food as usual because he had improved his fighting technique. Instead, he took it easy at home. Nevertheless, he still went to his job as a bar security, although he was slightly short on experience.

[Occupation: Security LV.1 (99/100)]

He was truly just a bit off.

But it didn't matter, he could easily break through to level two next time.

“This bit of Potential Points might be put to use in Jujutsu…”

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, then immediately checked his phone.

9:40.

“It's about time to leave.”

He grabbed his backpack with one hand and slung it over his shoulder as he briskly walked out the door.

He bought breakfast and finished it quickly.

On the blue bus, fresh air streamed in through the window continuously, giving a refreshing feeling. Bai Xiao stood straight at the exit, his right hand raised to grab the handle, while his eyes looked outside.

He frowned slightly, catching in the corner of his eye a few college-aged girls on the adjacent seats, pointing and whispering in his direction.

He could vaguely hear them.

“Muscular,” “physique,” “sort of handsome,” like they were murmuring.

Bai Xiao had indeed become more handsome. His facial features were already good, and his skin had become smoother, body more robust, and demeanor more confident after his breakthrough. Coupled with his quiet and cool demeanor, he had the air of a cool guy.

Additionally,

Due to his physique and muscles growing too rapidly, the black shirt on his upper body was now too tight. The fabric tightly stretched over his pectorals and arms, outlining the firm contours and muscular figure, creating a tight-shirt look. Fortunately, the pants were fairly large and not too tight.

Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if it were tight and seen while walking.

“The bus is arriving at the station, please exit from the rear door.”

After the announcement from the speaker's female voice, the bus door whooshed open.

Bai Xiao quickly stepped off and headed towards the White Bird Martial Arts Hall.

9:54.

At the entrance of the martial arts hall, he was just about to enter with his backpack strap in his right hand.

Suddenly, a familiar voice arose at his side.

“Are you… Bai Xiao?”

Turning his head, he saw it was Li Xuefei, whom he had chatted with briefly before.

Today, she was dressed in a white mandarin collar shirt and black capri wide-legged pants, topped with white canvas shoes, adopting a rather handsome unisex style. Her black ponytail complemented her long legs, exuding a youthfulness.

At that moment, Li Xuefei was tilting her head slightly, her big eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Bai Xiao, as if seeing him for the first time: “You… seem to have become a lot more handsome. Are you always this muscular? I didn't notice before…”

Her gaze swept over Bai Xiao's prominent pectorals,

and the short sleeve tightly hugging his muscular arm contours.

“Thank you.”

“I used to wear loose clothing, so it's pretty normal you couldn't tell.”

Bai Xiao accepted her compliment and turned his head directly towards the inside of the martial arts hall. His time was precious, and talking for just two or three sentences with unrelated people was already his limit, even if the other party was a beautiful woman.

9:59, Bai Xiao came out of the changing room and walked along the corridor towards the training hall, where he happened to meet Li Xuefei halfway.

Li Xuefei seemed enthusiastic and appeared to have something to say, but the hall was just ahead, and they walked in together.

“You're here? Get in line,”

Zhang Hongtao glanced aside and then let the two of them enter.

In the training hall, Guo Hao saw Bai Xiao and Li Xuefei entering together, his face darkened immediately. Beside him, He Hao, with a freckled face, also saw this scene. Perhaps it was due to the residual anger from being bumped by Bai Xiao the day before and being humiliated when he attempted to curse, fear behind his anger made He Hao, like Guo Hao, look unfavorably at Bai Xiao.

“Hah, not seriously learning fighting technique, wasting time I don't know where. This kind of person, can he compete with my Brother Hao?”

“He was so poor in previous lessons, only Sandboxxing was somewhat okay, this kind of one-legged walker, don't even think about getting into the elite class…”

“Even if he got into the elite class, he would be eliminated immediately.”

He Hao murmured, his expression unimpressed. Several other students around heard these words, furrowed their brow but said nothing.

It seemed to comfort and inspire Guo Hao, however.

His hostility towards Bai Xiao suddenly escalated to the maximum.

The following was, as usual, coach training and self-practice.

Time passed bit by bit, and many students were sweating profusely.

This time, however, with a significant increase in physical fitness, Bai Xiao did not feel soaked as usual. He was sweating too, but far from the point of exhaustion. Bai Xiao still had a lot of stamina left.

He had the energy to continue training for another two or three hours with ease.

At three fifteen in the afternoon, nearing the end of the class,

Coach Zhang Hongtao suddenly came over to the corner where Bai Xiao was practicing his punches.

“Bai Xiao, come out for a second, I have something to tell you…”
