Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 66 Test
Hu Xiaobei watched intently from the side, his gaze slowly moving from An Xiaoqian's toes to her taut leg lines, silently evaluating in his mind.

"A little higher, if you can still hold on," he said softly, his voice filled with professional calmness.

An Xiaoqian nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and continued to stretch upwards.

Her cheeks flushed with exertion, her eyes were firm and focused, and her tenacity seemed to be conveyed through her gaze.

Hu Xiaobei exhaled, walked forward, and gently pressed the back of An Xiaoqian's legs with his hands, feeling the tightness of the muscles.

But the moment his fingers touched An Xiaoqian's warm skin, a ripple and a sense of beauty arose in his heart.

But his face remained serious as he spoke word by word, "Not bad, but there's room for improvement in flexibility. Next, let's test your balance."

He took a narrow balance beam from the side and placed it on the ground.

"Try to walk on it. Keep your body steady and don't shake."

An Xiaoqian looked at the balance beam, a hint of familiarity and confidence flashed in her eyes. After all, years of dance training had given her a good grasp of her sense of balance.

She stepped lightly onto the balance beam, her arms slightly outstretched, her steps light and steady.

With every step, the balance beam sways only slightly, as natural as dancing on the stage.

Hu Xiaobei activated his spiritual perception ability, staring at her closely and keeping an eye on her condition at all times.

Although he secretly admired her excellent balance ability in his heart, he only said briefly: "Good sense of balance, next is the reaction speed test."

He took out a small reaction tester and quickly explained to An Xiaoqian how to use it.

"When this signal light comes on, you need to press the button next to it as quickly as possible. I will record your reaction time each time."

An Xiaoqian listened attentively and nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

The test began, and the signal light flashed randomly.

An Xiaoqian's eyes were fixed on the traffic light, her finger hovering above the button. Every time the light came on, she could react quickly and press the button accurately with her finger.

Hu Xiaobei was watching the time data recorded on the instrument and couldn't help but marvel at her quick reaction.

Then he took out a few colorful balls and placed them in different positions.

"I'll give you some instructions. You need to quickly pick up the corresponding balls according to the instructions and put them in the designated box."

An Xiaoqian took a deep breath and listened to the instructions attentively.

Following Hu Xiaobei's command, she quickly moved around the venue. Her movements were a little awkward at first, but soon she became agile and smoother thanks to her excellent body coordination.

Then, Hu Xiaobei set up a set of jumping obstacle tests: "You have to jump over these obstacles continuously, paying attention to the rhythm and height."

An Xiaoqian nodded slightly, took a few steps, and easily jumped over the first obstacle, her figure drawing a graceful arc in the air.

However, when jumping over the third obstacle, her steps stumbled slightly, but she quickly adjusted and continued to complete the subsequent jumps.

After several rounds of testing, Hu Xiaobei thought about the previous test data and said, "Your reaction speed is quite fast.

This will be very advantageous when learning some moves that require quick response.

Okay, now let’s do the strength test.”

As he spoke, he walked to the equipment rack beside him, picked up a pair of light dumbbells and handed them to An Xiaoqian.

"Try to do a few simple exercises with these dumbbells. Let me see your strength control."

An Xiaoqian took the dumbbells, gently shook her arms to relax, and then flexed, extended, and rotated her arms according to the instructions. Her movements were gentle and the force was evenly transmitted.

Hu Xiaobei focused on "observing" her movements and muscle strength, and gained a more comprehensive understanding of her physical fitness.

After finishing the strength test, Hu Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "Let's do a comprehensive movement imitation test.

I will do a series of moves and you need to imitate them completely in the shortest possible time."

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei walked to the center of the venue and began to demonstrate a set of movements that included various martial arts elements. His movements were vigorous and powerful yet agile.

An Xiaoqian watched intently, memorizing every detail without blinking.

After Hu Xiaobei finished, she paused for a moment and then quickly began to imitate him.

She combined her dance skills with the key points she had just observed, and her movements were smooth and rhythmic.

Although there was a big difference in strength between her and Hu Xiaobei's, and there were many mistakes in her moves, the overall imitation was quite similar. Hu Xiaobei looked at An Xiaoqian's performance and smiled with satisfaction.

Finally, the leg-exhaustion test is performed.

The reason why this test was put on hold until now is because An Xiaoqian probably wouldn't be able to stand up after completing this test.

Hu Xiaobei looked at her and said seriously, "The next leg-strengthening test is related to Xiaolongnu's umbrella kicking action.

You start by doing single-leg standing exercises. Stand on one leg and stretch the other leg out to the side and up, like the starting position when preparing to kick a parachute. Feel the endurance of your legs in maintaining balance and height.

Upon hearing this, An Xiaoqian immediately adjusted her posture and stood firmly on one foot. Her raised leg was straight and graceful. Her eyes were calm, focused on maintaining balance, and her body was only shaking slightly.

Hu Xiaobei stood aside and observed, but was a little absent-minded.

Because his eyes always wandered unconsciously on An Xiaoqian, his mind was full of thoughts, and he tried hard to concentrate, but it was a little difficult.

He paced slightly, using the movement to clear his mind.

"Now try to build on this single-leg standing leg exercise by simulating the force of a parachute kick, slowly swinging your raised leg up and down in small movements.

Pay attention to controlling your strength and balance, as this will test your leg muscles' ability to sustain force in similar movement situations."

An Xiaoqian did as she was told, and each swing was extremely steady. Although sweat was dripping from her forehead, her movements were standard, showing her good qualities.

"Alright, stand on one leg against the wall. I'll help you stretch your legs and see how far you can go."

An Xiaoqian did not hesitate at all. She stepped back a few steps until she reached the corner of the wall, leaned her back against the wall, stood on her right foot, and stretched her left leg upward and to the side.

Hu Xiaobei stepped forward and pressed down on her left leg.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were face to face, so close!
Hu Xiaobei thought to himself that something was wrong and was about to change his position while he was still unstable so that he could turn sideways and not look at her, but he forgot that there was an obstacle on her left hand side.

Without noticing for a moment, he had pushed An Xiaoqian into the corner, creating a scene similar to the reverse "cheating against the wall".

It was fine at first, but as my mind gradually calmed down, everything around me became quiet.

The two looked at each other and felt very embarrassed.

Maybe it was because they were close, they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeat and sense each other's breathing rate.

With every breath, a sweet feeling goes straight into the deep lungs through the nose, as if a faint fragrance slowly spreads in the body, and freshness and moisture gradually spread to the body and mind.

"Thump, thump..."

The breath that seeps into the heart is truly intoxicating.

But seeing An Xiaoqian lowering her head gradually out of embarrassment, Hu Xiaobei still turned his head with great perseverance and looked at the people training in the distance.

Even so, that damned feeling of ambiguity still lingered on Hu Xiaobei like a thorn in his flesh.

"How long has it been?" An Xiaoqian's soft and tender voice sounded softly in her ears, with a hint of timidity.

Hu Xiaobei cleared his throat and looked away, avoiding her gaze. He said with a stammer, "Not even two minutes yet."

An Xiaoqian was slightly surprised. She lost half her breath, and the corners of her mouth instantly drooped. Her tone gradually became lower and longer: "Haha~ Only two minutes!"

Perhaps because their eyes no longer met, An Xiaoqian grew bolder. She raised her small chin slightly and locked her gaze on Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei was seen looking sideways into the distance, with a blush on his ears that spread across his entire cheek like clouds.

For a moment, An Xiaoqian felt that the offensive and defensive situations were different.

　I took a look at the first wave of recommended trends.

　　The data is appalling, far lower than the 100 books sold in the same period.

　　There is a high probability that it will be eliminated in the first wave of recommendations.

　　Never mind, my level is really not good enough.

　　Everyone can just watch it casually, don’t pursue these things.
