Chapter 78: Impressive

“Hey, Shi Ji, are you kidding me? Sure, people with Star constitutions are stronger than normal folks, but you don’t have to be this monstrous. Fifteen reps with a 500-kilogram barbell, and you didn’t even break a sweat. You must be some kind of freak,” Xing Yuxiu said, astonished.

Earlier, when Shi Ji was lifting the barbell, the entire class watched in awe, each person more shocked than the last.

Jing Xin, the instructor, wasn’t too surprised. In her view, Shi Ji was on the same level as Lin Xinyan. Being able to do this was expected.

For Shi Ji, 500 kilograms was a breeze. It wasn’t anything remarkable. But Xing Yuxiu’s reaction was understandable. To them, a 500-kilogram barbell was a harsh punishment, and no one in Class B could complete it in one go. Yet Shi Ji did it, effortlessly completing fifteen reps without breaking a sweat, his face calm and composed.

Word around was that Shi Ji had initially been placed in Class A, but due to some conflicts, he was transferred to Class B. 

Today, he defeated Chi Yang and Ling Si from Class A, astonishing everyone. Class A certainly didn’t expect Shi Ji to be such a formidable character.

Class A had always looked down on Class B, and Class B had always been annoyed by the arrogance of some Class A students. Now, with Shi Ji’s addition, Class B’s overall strength had undoubtedly increased. Defeating Chi Yang and Ling Si made the Class B students ecstatic.

Shi Ji, though a new student, had quickly become the focus of the entire class.

After the so-called punishment, Shi Ji chatted with Xing Yuxiu. Xing Yuxiu turned out to be a straightforward and amiable person.

Faced with Xing Yuxiu’s astonishment, Shi Ji simply smiled and offered no explanation.

“By the way, thanks for your help today,” Shi Ji said.

Xing Yuxiu patted Shi Ji on the shoulder, his face still beaming with a bright smile. He said, “Class B is a collective. We’re all brothers and sisters here, so it’s only natural for us to help each other. Let’s officially introduce ourselves.”

With that, Xing Yuxiu extended his hand.

“Xing Yuxiu, Class B monitor. Nice to meet you.”

Shi Ji didn’t hesitate and shook Xing Yuxiu’s hand.

“Shi Ji, nice to meet you.”

At this moment, Xing Yuxiu laughed heartily again.

“If Class A ever gives you trouble or if you need help with anything else, just come to me. As the class monitor, it’s my duty. Don’t be shy.”

Shi Ji nodded, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.

“Speaking of needing help, there is something I could use your help with.”

“Straightforward, huh?”

“Of course. Didn’t you say you’re the class monitor? So, I’m coming to you.”

“Haha! Tell me. I’ll help if I can.”

At this point, a sly smile appeared on Shi Ji’s face, making him look somewhat mischievous.

“Well, I currently only have sixty-two credits. The cafeteria food is terrible, so could you…”

Hearing this, Xing Yuxiu immediately understood.

“Heh heh! You’re pretty crafty, aren’t you? But seriously, you’re obviously very capable. How did you start with just sixty credits? That’s quite unusual. What did you do during the practical tasks?”

Shi Ji didn’t hide anything and wasn’t embarrassed.

“Oh, those few days I helped at a bun shop. Got free meals and accommodation, plus a few hundred yuan.”

Xing Yuxiu was taken aback. Shi Ji didn’t seem like he was joking.

“You… I can’t figure you out. “Impressive” is the only way to describe you.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“What the hell? You really took that as a compliment? You better get your credits up soon.”

Shi Ji laughed, about to respond when Jing Xin’s stern voice interrupted from the side.

“Everyone! Gather up!”
