"I'm back!"
A loud voice entered the bedroom.
Li Fei knew that Li Tianyu had co back.
The other person could be considered his childhood friend from his previous life, a sister with no blood relation.
Li Fei put down his book and turned to face the door.
He knew Li Tianyu would soon enter his room.
As expected, in no ti, a short-haired woman dressed in a white top and a black long skirt ca in without knocking:
"What are you doing?"
Li Fei, looking helpless,
"Sis, I've told you many tis to knock before entering."
Li Tianyu raised an eyebrow, "Is there anything you can't let your sister know about?"
Her face inherited the lon-seed-shape of her mother, Zhang Yuqing, with equally fair skin, while her narrow eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows ca from her father, Li Lei, adding a hint of heroism to her look.
Her long legs made her taller than many boys her age, and wherever she stood, she was striking and impressive.
Li Fei thought if this sister were in his past life, she would definitely beco an international supermodel.
"What if I was changing clothes inside?"
Li Fei said.
Li Tianyu scoffed with disdain, "What haven't I seen of you? What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Li Fei felt resigned.
His father and Li Lei had been comrades-in-arms, and both happened to have the surna Li, which to outsiders made them seem like brothers.
Li Fei's father had died on the battlefield, and Li Lei had taken him in, wanting Li Fei to call him godfather, but Li Fei's predecessor just wouldn't agree.
Li Fei understood the previous Li Fei's feelings. By acknowledging Li Lei as godfather, Li Tianyu would truly beco his sister, and the predecessor did not want Li Tianyu to be just a sister.
But in Li Fei's view, Li Tianyu clearly only saw the previous Li Fei as her younger brother and had no other intentions.
"That's better, to avoid future awkwardness,"
Li Fei thought to himself.
Now, his sole focus was to beco a Martial Artist, to take control of his own destiny; he had no ti for romantic thoughts.
"Speaking of which, you've been acting a bit strange lately. You never wanted to call 'sister' before, so why the sudden change now?"
Li Tianyu sat down on Li Fei's bed, face-to-face with him.
Li Fei's heart skipped a beat.
Although he had acquired the mories of his predecessor after his transmigration, so of his behaviors and actions were definitely different.
Luckily, he was only seventeen years old, right in the throes of puberty, so a bit of personality change wouldn't be unacceptable.
He smiled and said, "Aren't you happy I'm calling you 'sister'?"
"I am your sister,"
Li Tianyu habitually raised her eyebrows, "Co on, let tell you about what the tutor said in our supplentary class today."
She had received a Rank A-minus in a special physical examination two months ago.
According to the school teachers, only students with at least a Grade B were eligible to apply for the university's Zhi Ge Departnt, and only those with a Rank A or above had a good chance of getting in.
So, after that examination, the school specifically arranged for all students who got a Rank A score to have supplentary tutors to teach them so advanced material to increase their chances of getting into university.
The reason Li Tianyu had co ho late today was due to the supplentary classes at school.
"Are you allowed to share the content of these supplentary classes with anyone?"
Li Fei asked curiously.
"You're not just 'anyone,'"
Li Tianyu said matter-of-factly.
Although she enjoyed teasing Li Fei, since they were young, if she ever had anything good, she would always share it with her younger brother.
"Alright, sit tight, I'm going to tutor you!"
"Please do tell."
And with that, Li Tianyu cleared her throat and spoke earnestly:
"The human body has its limits, no matter how much you train, you can't be faster than a bullet, nor can you withstand the bombardnt of artillery fire. Do you know why our Da Lan Dynasty's martial artists can defeat those foreigners with their guns and cannons?"
"Why?"
Li Fei was full of curiosity.
This question was exactly what he wanted to know.
How could the martial artists of this world overco firearms?
In his previous life, those who practiced martial arts dared only claim to be 'swift within seven steps.' Could it be that in this world, beyond seven steps, fists were both fast and powerful?
"Because we have the Implant."
Li Tianyu didn't leave him hanging and revealed the answer directly.
"Implant?"
"I'm not quite sure what exactly it is, but it's sothing that's implanted into the human body, and with it, a martial artist can break through human limitations and possess greater strength."
"This..."
Li Fei had thought this world would have things like Inner Strength or Qi, but he never expected it to be the so-called Implant.
Is this so kind of cyber martial arts?
"What else did your teacher say?"
"The teacher also said that after the Implant enters the body, it can cause harm, and so people with good constitutions and strong endurance can slowly adapt. However, the vast majority cannot withstand the Implant, and naturally, they cannot beco true martial artists."
"I see, so the last assessnt, was it actually evaluating our ability to withstand the Implant?"
"Yes."
Li Tianyu looked into Li Fei's eyes. "Your score was Grade B, not as good as mine, but it's already better than the vast majority of people, and you also have the chance to beco a martial artist."
That was the main reason she had co to chat with Li Fei today—she worried that he would be impacted by this.
In her mory, her younger brother was a restrained and sensitive person.
After hearing what she said, Li Fei couldn't help but smile:
"I have the Myriad Blood Pearl within , and my constitution is definitely even stronger than Rank A!"
Seeing the smile on Li Fei's face, Li Tianyu also started to grin:
"The supplentary teacher also said that they will give us so dicine that can help our bodies adapt to the side effects of the Implant in advance. I'll sneak so back for you when the ti cos to try it out."
Upon hearing this, Li Fei was taken aback and quickly said earnestly,
"Sis, you don't need to bring back any dicine for . I'm not planning to apply to the university this year."
Li Tianyu frowned. "You're not applying to university? Didn't you say you wanted to beco a general with and go to battle together?"
Unlike other girls, her dream since childhood was to beco a female general, to gallop across the battlefields, and to be rembered in history.
Only by becoming a martial artist, and a strong one at that, could she realize this dream. That's why she chose the Zhi Ge Departnt for her diploma and was determined to get into university.
Li Fei smiled, "I'm just not applying to the university this year. I plan to go to the Martial Arts Hall in Xing City where there are quotas each year for direct entry into the university's Zhi Ge Departnt."
"Did dad say sothing to you?"
Li Tianyu's expression darkened, and she abruptly stood up, "I'm going to find him!"
"Sis!"
Li Fei quickly grabbed her, "Our family can only afford to send one person to university. Since you're more talented than I am, you should be the one to go. Don't make Uncle Li feel awkward about it."
"I..."
Li Tianyu hesitated.
Ever since they were young, she had shared all the good things with Li Fei.
But this ti...
"Sis, the Martial Arts Hall also has quotas for university. I'll go there, secure a spot, and then we'll et at the university next year."
Li Fei said with certainty.
The light of the setting sun stread in from the bedroom window, casting a golden glow over him.
Li Tianyu looked at the younger brother she had grown up with, and felt that he seed different sohow.
"Then it's settled. We'll et at the university next year."
"Yep, it's a promise!"
