Sunlight shattered the dust motes, kneading them into Su Jiu's still drowsy eyes. She was now like some invertebrate with limbs stretched back, her torso tightly embraced by Bai Qianyu.
Opening her mouth, Su Jiu's dead fish eyes instantly sharpened, her body sliding down like a catfish. She felt that after Bai Qianyu discovered her true identity, she seemed even more unrestrained.
Actually using her as a large doll while she slept, though Su Jiu reluctantly accepted it—after all, they were so big and white... no, it was to cultivate friendship with Bai Qianyu. When she was in danger, wouldn't that guy Bai Ming help her tremendously?
Su Jiu nodded to herself and secretly praised her own cleverness...
"Sister Jiu, are you awake?"
Bai Qianyu rubbed her eyes and sat up. The thin blanket slid from her shoulder, and that clothing thinner than the blanket made Su Jiu's heart race.
"Little Bai, the attribute test is coming up soon. Stop sleeping."
Silently reciting the Three Character Classic in her mind, Su Jiu slightly adjusted her facial expression to appear more serious.
"Mm? Sister Jiu, I didn't mean to hold you while sleeping last night..."
Bai Qianyu thought about how she was attracted by that strange aura on Su Jiu's body last night, and her face flushed. Su Jiu must think she was that kind of lesbian girl, right?
"Mm-hmm, I understand..."
Su Jiu waved her hand, already changing into a Japanese-style delinquent short skirt JK outfit while speaking.
"..."
Bai Qianyu wanted to say something but couldn't speak. Seeing Su Jiu's already accustomed expression, she really wanted to dig into the floor.
Su Jiu must think of her as that kind of girl who liked cuddling... It really wasn't that she wanted to, but that cold yet somewhat warm strange aura was truly irresistible.
She once suspected it was the influence of bloodline awakening, but Su Jiu awakened Ice Chi, right? Logically, lower bloodlines couldn't influence higher ones.
Bai Qianyu was clear that her bloodline wasn't the Black Dragon bloodline the school claimed, but Ancient Black Dragon—two words that made all the difference. Ancient Black Dragon was equivalent to royal bloodline among the Black Dragon clan.
If it wasn't bloodline, then what was influencing her... Bai Qianyu's gaze fell slightly on Su Jiu's doll-like face, and her heart inexplicably fluttered. Then she quickly shook her head frantically, throwing out that terrifying thought.
Absolutely not!
...
The two quickly arrived at the strength testing room according to Lu Nan's requested time. Unlike Bai Qianyu who often came for tests and appeared composed, Su Jiu was visiting this place for the first time. She looked around at the surrounding metal instruments like a curious baby.
In front of the crowd.
"Su Jiu? How do I encounter you everywhere?"
Lu Ke's slightly dissatisfied voice came from not far away. She crossed her arms, her eyes full of bad luck, continuing sarcastically: "You don't think that just because bloodline awakening succeeded, the strength test will also succeed, right? Without martial techniques, not knowing techniques for power accumulation, having only brute force, you probably can't even reach the basic 1,200 pounds for low-level warriors, right?"
Su Jiu expressionlessly slowly extended a middle finger toward her, her small mouth opening and closing to mouth the word "idiot."
Seeing this, Lu Ke snorted and turned to look at the testing platform. Their queue was helped by some students arranged by the school to test and score, including a figure she had to take seriously.
A few more minutes passed.
"Lin Lie, why are you here helping with the test scores?" Lu Ke stepped forward, equipped some protective gear, then looked up at the buzz-cut youth not far away.
Their fathers had some dealings, so they were quite familiar.
"Got caught causing trouble and was dragged here by Old Huang for reform," Lin Lie originally thought it was some pretty girl, but upon closer look, it was his childhood friend, immediately rolling his eyes.
"Then you better give me some special treatment later." Lu Ke joked, though she didn't need any special treatment. The passing line was 1,000 pounds, and 2,000 pounds was full marks—getting full marks wasn't impossible for her.
"I don't want to get scolded to death by Old Huang." Hearing this, Lin Lie looked at Lu Ke with disgust and shrugged, indicating he was a fair good person.
"Tch!"
Rolling her eyes, Lu Ke's pupils instantly condensed, fire qi emanating from her body. Her tall body instantly became like a superwoman—if her clothes weren't specially customized by the Lu family, those male students would have had quite a feast for the eyes.
She lightly stepped, causing wave-like tremors all around, her fist pounding the weight plate like a roaring angry dragon.
The numbers above fluctuated rapidly.
1000!
1600!
1900!
Finally, they began jumping slowly, stabilizing at 1963. Lu Ke's aura began slowly retracting, and she frowned slightly, seeming somewhat unsatisfied with her performance.
But Lin Lie shouted like a ghost: "Lu Ke, 1963 pounds, 98 points."
"1963 pounds?! I saw that Chongming Bird earlier was barely 1300 pounds. How can the gap be so large!" Some viewers were stunned—how were those who just reached 1000 pounds supposed to live?
"Pfft, Lu Ke used martial techniques. It's normal you can't compare. You know she's been learning family martial techniques since childhood. Her Great Strength Fist has probably reached minor achievement proficiency now."
Lin Lie suddenly laughed, feeling he could show off a bit through his childhood friend's awesomeness.
"Minor achievement?? How is that possible! We haven't even touched martial techniques, and she's already at minor achievement? How can the gap be so large?" Someone's face became despondent.
"People's constitutions are different. Martial techniques require physical qualities to reach certain standards before learning. It's normal we can't learn them." Someone behind patted his shoulder, then continued: "Tomorrow we officially start warrior-level courses. The teacher will explain related content."
Scanning around, Lu Ke enjoyed the surrounding exclamations and praise. When she turned her gaze to Su Jiu, she found herself greeted by that annoying middle finger again, making her somewhat frantic.
No way—you've never even touched martial techniques, so why are you still so defiant?
Lu Ke felt the other party's successful awakening probably had a lot to do with items her father prepared rather than any midnight efforts.
She didn't leave, just standing next to Su Jiu like a wooden person, staring at her. Hard work paid off—after more than ten minutes, it was soon Su Jiu's turn.
"Name..."
Lin Lie had just handed over protective gear when he looked up and saw that face that had given him nightmares these past few days, making his speech stutter.
"Sis... Sister, why are you here? I'm a good citizen now." Seeming worried this violent person might go crazy again, he quickly raised both hands and quietly repeated.
"A big good citizen."
This scene left everyone present somewhat dumbfounded. This Lin Lie used to flirt with any slightly pretty girl he encountered, but when it came to this little delinquent, he became like this.
