High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

The next day, Chen Shi went to school as usual.

The martial arts gym was unusually empty, with only a few students training freely. Grandpa Di sat at the entrance with his legs crossed, watching the area while scrolling through his phone and smoking a cigarette.

He doesn't dare to smoke on weekdays because there are many students at school.

During winter break, I completely let loose and let loose.

He would occasionally turn back to look at Zhang Xuexin, because he could always see the girl looking at Chen Shi.

A little while later, a group of female students walked in together. None of them were wearing school uniforms; they were all dressed very nicely, arm in arm, carrying a case of water. They walked to the entrance of the martial arts gym and said with smiles, "We've come to cheer on our juniors!"

"Ah, you're too kind." Grandpa Di chuckled as he took the gift, filled with envy.

How many people are chasing after this kid?

However, I was pretty much the same back then.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Di glanced back at Chen Shi, but the kid didn't turn around at all, his eyes were fixed on his Achilles tendon.

After a while, Grandpa Di went up and measured Chen Shi's body.

He's growing so fast; his body proportions should be adjusted in about six months. On the other hand, Wang Hu is still far from that point, and might not even be able to get his proportions right until his final year of junior high.

That's the difference in talent!

This winter break was peaceful, the kind of time Chen Shi liked best. There was no noise, no distracting stares or words, only the warm winter sun, the cool breeze, the clean ground, his ever-growing self, and the pretty girl who would secretly watch him every day.

With his extraordinary perception, how could Chen Shi not know that Zhang Xuexin was watching him?

Chen Shi did not respond, and Zhang Xuexin did not do anything further; she just stood there practicing and watching.

Time blows through the girl's hair and falls on the boy's shoulders; in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and the winter vacation is halfway over.

The martial arts school was unusually quiet that day, as if only Chen Shi had come. It was Chinese New Year, and everyone was preparing for the family banquet that evening. The streets were already ablaze with festive cheer.

As winter grew colder, Chen Shiyi's breath could create puffs of white mist. He opened the door of the martial arts gym, wearing a long-sleeved school uniform jacket.

Di Yun didn't come today, so I lent him the key.

He started his warm-up and workout as usual, looking at the blue sky outside the martial arts gym window while on the treadmill. Time ticked by, and the sky gradually turned white.

Chen Shi smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

It only snows for a few days each year in Linshan City, which is Chen Shi's favorite weather.

Every year when it snows, he would play games in his small bedroom at home. He would drink beverages and eat instant noodles under the warm yellow light, with the music turned up to the maximum, staring at the dazzling game screen with a big smile on his face.

No matter how cold it was outside or how heavy the snow was, the house was always warm, giving him the feeling that no storm in the world could get into that little house, and he enjoyed it.

Thinking of this, Chen Shi prepared to close the gate of the martial arts school.

The moment he reached out, a pair of small hands wearing fluffy gloves pressed against the door. Their fingertips were very close together. When Chen Shi looked up, he saw a glint in the girl's bright eyes, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her rosy face.

Today, Zhang Xuexin wore woolen gloves, a cute fluffy hat, and thick, warm clothes, along with white snow boots.

The two sat on a bench in the martial arts gym.

Zhang Xuexin handed over a bottle of sports drink with both hands.

Chen Shi was taken aback, but accepted the gift and said, "Thank you."

After finishing his drink and putting the lid back on, he asked, "Why did you come to the martial arts gym today?"

Zhang Xuexin's eyes darted around as she said, "It's Chinese New Year, and there are so many relatives at home. It's too noisy, so I came here because I prefer peace and quiet."

"What about you? Aren't you going to train today instead of resting?"

Chen Shih-tao: "What else can I do if I don't train?"

"Won't my training disturb you?"

Zhang Xuexin shook her round head twice like a rattle-drum and said, "Of course not."

"You are very quiet."

"I'm going to train now." After finishing his water, Chen Shi stood up and walked towards the treadmill.

Zhang Xuexin also looked down and took out her small phone to play for a while. After getting a little bored, she started to take off her down jacket, revealing that she was wearing a workout uniform underneath.

She walked onto the treadmill next to Chen Shi, and this time she didn't ask if he wanted to run together. After clicking on it, she started swinging her arms, her short bowl-cut hair swaying back and forth.

Chen Shi thought the bowl cut was really ugly, but both Chen Yan and Zhang Xuexin had this hairstyle because it was too difficult to practice martial arts with other hairstyles. However, Zhang Xuexin's bowl cut looked better, probably because she had big eyes, was pretty, and had a good temperament.

Time slipped away beneath the feet of the running boy and girl, and the snow outside gradually intensified.

As Chen Shi ran, he looked up at the window, a hint of joy involuntarily appearing on his face.

He was watching the snow.

Zhang Xuexin turned her head to look at him, her bright eyes sparkling.

"You like watching snow?"

"Yes, it's really beautiful." Chen Shi nodded and said, "But it only snows in Linshan City for these three days, and it's like this every year."

Zhang Xuexin nodded thoughtfully and said, "So you go out to play in the snow when you're bored during the Chinese New Year?"

"No way," Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I just like watching. Playing is too much trouble, and nobody plays with me anyway."

"Then you can come to me from now on, and I'll play with you!" Zhang Xuexin nodded gently.

"No," Chen Shi shook his head. "Playing in the snow is nothing compared to practicing martial arts!"

"Okay." Zhang Xuexin pouted slightly, turned to look out the window, and continued running.

Just when she thought Chen Shi was unwilling to communicate with her and that their conversation was over, Chen Shi suddenly asked, "How much blood energy do you have?"

Zhang Xuexin was quite pleased and chuckled, "I'm only 52 now."

"And you?"

Chen Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "I'd better not say anything."

"Go ahead and say it," Zhang Xuexin smiled sweetly and said, "I know you're a super genius, I won't be provoked by you."

Chen Shi's lips curled up slightly as he said, "I just took the test today, it's 267."

"Huh!?" Zhang Xuexin's eyes widened, and she almost fell off the treadmill.

Chen Shichao reacted automatically, turning around abruptly to catch her, and suddenly wrapped his arms around Zhang Xuexin's waist.

"Ah, are you alright?" Chen Shi asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhang Xuexin shook her head, straightened up, turned off the treadmill, put her hands on her hips, let out a long breath, and looked confused.

"267".

"He must be taller than the team leader of the second-year junior high school class, right?"

"That's amazing."

"What exactly is your talent?"

Chen Shi said smugly, "3S3+!"

"Wow!" Zhang Xuexin's eyes widened suddenly. "The strongest physical talent?"

"Then why are you staying in Hengshan?"

Chen Shidao: "Because I was lucky."

"No, what I mean is..." Zhang Xuexin quickly said, "Shouldn't you be?"

"No, I know what you mean," Chen Shi said with a sigh. "If it weren't for good luck, I wouldn't even be able to become a martial artist!"

"Why?" Zhang Xuexin asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's all in the past." Chen Shi shook his head.
