- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 473
“Xiao Yezi (Chen Ye), why are you bringing those papers?” Zhao Fang asked curiously.
Chen Ye replied truthfully, “I don’t plan on attending the Martial Arts Academy anymore, and I’m not participating in the physical fitness test today.”
Zhao Fang was shocked. “But wasn’t getting into the Martial Arts Academy and becoming an official martial artist your dream?”
*Sigh.* Chen Ye pretended to sigh deeply, feigning disappointment. “You know what happened to me in the hospital. With my current condition, I can’t pass the test even if I wanted to.”
“Ugh, seriously! With your natural talent and fitness, even if you didn’t make it into the best War Academy, you could have easily gotten into a regular Martial Arts Academy. But you just had to push yourself too hard and overtrain… such a shame!”
Zhao Fang shook her head sympathetically, feeling bad for her friend.
Chen Ye, on the outside, showed regret and frustration, but internally, he remained indifferent.
…
The two of them attended different high schools, and they parted ways at a crossroad.
Chen Ye headed to his school, called Chenguang High School, alone.
By the time Chen Ye arrived, the physical fitness test was already underway on the sports field.
Finding his class, Chen Ye walked over to join them.
“Old Chen!” A round-faced, chubby boy turned around and whispered, “Why are you so late? Don’t you know today is a big day?”
Seeing the chubby boy, Chen Ye suddenly felt disoriented.
He couldn’t tell whether this was the world from the novel or just a parallel world because the boy in front of him looked exactly like Jiang Tao from his real life!
Even more coincidentally, this chubby boy was also named Jiang Tao, and he too was Chen Ye’s close friend…
“Old Chen, why are you spacing out?”
“Uh… nothing,” Chen Ye snapped back to reality. “I overslept.”
“Wow, you managed to sleep through a day like this? That’s classic you.”
*Sigh.*
Chen Ye purposely sighed, pretending to be disheartened.
Jiang Tao didn’t notice, though. His attention was elsewhere.
“Oh, damn, Old Chen! Your goddess is here!”
“Goddess?”
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and followed Jiang Tao’s gaze to see a slender girl with a delicate face walking out of the classroom.
She wore the school uniform, her expression cool and composed, with a touch of innocence in her demeanor. Combined with her striking appearance, she indeed exuded the aura of a school “goddess.”
As soon as she appeared, the noise in the crowd below noticeably died down, reflecting the high status this girl held in the eyes of the male students. Clearly, she wasn’t just Chen Ye’s so-called “goddess.”
After getting a good look at her, Chen Ye let out a small sigh of relief.
“Thankfully, her face doesn’t look familiar. If I see one more familiar face, I might start questioning which world is the real one.”
Chen Ye’s mind quickly retrieved the original body’s memories of this girl.
Her name was Xiao Linger, the campus belle and a rising star at Chenguang High School. Not only was she top of the class academically, but she had also made impressive strides in martial arts, with her qi and blood levels far surpassing the average for her age.
It was said that she trained under a famous mentor from a prestigious martial arts family.
“Quiet down!” The principal’s voice suddenly boomed from the stage.
What surprised Chen Ye was that the principal’s voice, though seemingly calm, carried a resonating force that silenced the entire crowd instantly.
“The principal’s sonic wave technique is getting more powerful,” Jiang Tao mumbled under his breath.
Hearing this, Chen Ye realized that even the principal was using martial arts techniques.
Once the students had settled, the principal wasted no time with lengthy speeches and got straight to the point:
“Today’s physical fitness test will be monitored by teachers from several prestigious martial arts academies. Some of them are carrying special recruitment quotas. Give it your best shot, understood?”
“Understood!” The hundreds of senior students responded in unison, the atmosphere charged with energy.
Satisfied, the principal nodded and handed the stage over to another teacher.
A female teacher stepped up, holding a roster. “When I call your name, come up for your test. Make it quick, understood?”
The testing began.
The physical test was divided into two parts: measuring qi and blood levels, followed by a strength test, both conducted using specialized equipment.
“Li Zijian!”
Upon hearing his name, a muscular student quickly made his way to the stage.
Following the teacher’s instructions, Li Zijian first placed his hands on the qi and blood monitor. After recording his reading, he moved to the punching power testing machine.
*Boom!*
Li Zijian struck the machine with a heavy punch.
Instantly, the digital screen on the machine flashed rapidly before stopping at “592.”
Seeing the number, several gasps echoed through the crowd.
“592?!”
“Did Li Zijian eat dynamite this morning or what?”
“Impressive! With that score, he’ll definitely be recruited by one of the martial arts academies.”
Listening to the murmurs around him, Chen Ye remained calm.
From the memories of the original host, Chen Ye knew that a normal adult male had an average punch power of around 300.
For Li Zijian to achieve a score of 592 was indeed impressive.
It was almost twice the strength of an ordinary person, suggesting that he had undergone substantial martial arts training.
Of course, if Chen Ye were to take the test himself, this punching machine wouldn’t even be able to register his true strength.
Because he could break the machine with just one punch…
…
“Li Zijian, qi and blood: 133, punch power: 592!” The teacher announced, clearly satisfied with the results.
On the guest platform, several martial arts academy instructors who had come to scout talent took note of Li Zijian’s performance, with many of them jotting down notes.
Seeing this, Li Zijian walked off the stage, visibly elated.
“Next up, Liu Yang… qi and blood: 93, punch power: 286!”
“Wang Ping, qi and blood: 88, punch power: 255!”
“Sun Yonghao, qi and blood: 97, punch power: 303!”
…
Aside from Li Zijian’s impressive performance, the following students delivered mediocre results, causing the teacher in charge to frown in disappointment.
Even the visiting martial arts instructors from prestigious academies looked disheartened.
Fortunately, they hadn’t set their expectations too high for Chenguang High School, as it was just an ordinary second-tier institution.
“Next, Xiao Linger!”
The moment Xiao Linger’s name was called, the entire crowd perked up.
Chen Ye suddenly recalled that Xiao Linger was a significant supporting character in the novel…
