“Huff huff!”
Su Lu put down the dumbbell in his hands, panting heavily,rge beads of sweat rolling off him.
Next to him, Angelia frowned deeply: “Your foundation is too weak! You’re awful. Did you eat anything this morning?”
After paying fees and registering, Angelia conveniently gave Su Lu an assessment, which resulted in a pitiful performance.
Su Lu was originally at the average level for an ordinary person, but having lost a third of his constitution, he suddenly fell into the category of weaklings.
With a spirit as high as 1.6, he could clearly read a look of pity in Angelia’s eyes.
“It’s rare to see a man as weak as you. Ah, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean that. Don’t be discouraged, as long as you eat a bnced diet, enhance your training, you can still recover.”
Angelia had a habit of speaking her mind, and immediately waved her hands in frantic apology.
“I understand… So, can you teach me fighting skills?”
Su Lu asked calmly, knowing his own condition.
“You choose me as your personal trainer? You have good taste!”
Angelia puffed up her chest and then immediately put on a serious face: “But what you need to do now is not to learn fighting, but to start from the basics. Come! Let me teach you how to exercise correctly!”
How to exercise correctly, avoid injuries during a workout, and take care of oneself after all was indeed a knowledge in itself.
In fact, the Pottery family definitely had content in this area, which was better than amon fight club.
Unfortunately, Su Lu hadn’t been exposed to this due to his early departure from the family.
After all, one couldn’t possibly exercise when they were too young; the best time for training was during physical development, where a few months of effort would be equivalent to a full year for the average person.
Su Lu was acutely aware of this, hence he was very humble and earnest.
Although his constitution had weakened, his other qualities were still decent. Under Angelia’s guidance, he quickly grasped the right ways to exercise, making this female trainer feel a sense of admiration for him.
After the workout, Angelia generously gave Su Lu a muscle massage to rx his body, and finally reminded him, “Remember to eat more meat and have a good rest when you get back!”
“Thank you!”
Although he hadn’t learned any fighting skills, mastering the correct way to exercise made Su Lu feel like the trip had been worthwhile.
…
After taking a hearty shower, changing clothes, and leaving the fight club, Su Lu headed to the university canteen, decisively ordering a cheese-baked lobster, a fried chicken steak, a vegetable sd, and bread to go with the meal.
After all, a high amount of exercise required high nutrition and calorie support; otherwise, it would just be intentionally ruining one’s health.
As he feasted, Su Lu was also silently calcting in his mind.
‘I absolutely can’t afford this level of high consumption for long. Maybe next week, and at thetest the week after that, I will definitely go broke! Even if it’s for emergency training, it’ll take at least a month or even longer to see results… I must figure out a way to get some money.’
He had plenty of experience in this regard.
Although St. George’s offered specific student loans for impoverished students, he was one of the few students who paid off his debts during his studies.
Carrying the traditions from his past life, he hated the feeling of being in debt.
“Hey, Su Lu!”
When he returned to the dorm, Sean, his eyes glowing, met him immediately: “I have to admit, you have good taste… That Moli, she’s actually quite cute when she takes off her sses!”
Su Lu was speechless.
This roommate of his had a real knack for pursuing women.
“Weren’t you keen on Catherine’s style?”
“That’s my aesthetic taste! It’s an art. Do you understand?” Sean refuted, then continued, “Moli is on a very regr schedule, she spends her day at the dormitory, the library, and the canteen… Brother, if you want to create opportunities to interact with her, you should go to your home ground! Also… I wasted a job opportunity to help you today, I think it’s worth 10 copper elves!”
“Five copper elves! Not a copper more… if you argue I’ll find someone else.”
Su Lu felt it was necessary to tighten his purse strings.
“Deal!!!”
…
The next day, Su Lu went to the fight club as usual to train with Angelia.
The fight club had three coaches, the other two were men. When Angelia was training him, Su Lu noticed envious eyes staring over.
After all, Angelia was a schoolgirl herself, quite good-looking, with the bonus of being fit.
It’s just a pity that most students were too poor to afford such private tutoring.
In fact, if it weren’t for his desperate need to improve his skills quickly, Su Lu wouldn’t have wanted to do this.
However, after persistently asking, Angelia finally relented today.
“Today, I’ll teach you some basic Boxing Skill routines!”
She stood in front of Su Lu, demonstrating some stances,”Follow me, pay attention to your breathing… don’t scoff at routines, once you master them and they be your body’s instinctive response, even with your physique, you can catch thugs off guard!”
Su Lu agreed with this point.
The most critical aspect of any martial arts routine is instinct, responding to attacks without hesitation.
“Our Fight Club’s Boxing Skill, inherited from the Goddess Church, is also used in the Federation Army, known as the Maga Fighting Skill!”
As Angelia demonstrated, she exined, “This Boxing Skill has many variations, the military version directly targets the opponent’s eyes and throat, aiming for a swift victory by taking out the enemy! Our Fight Club uses a simplified version with eight basic routines, collectively referred to as ‘Eight Forms’, much like a form, to handle eightbat situations. Remember this, in the future when you encounter simr situations, you can apply these!”
Since Su Lu had paid, Angelia taught very seriously.
Su Lu listened intently; this was the training he wanted.
‘This Maga fighting Skill, targeting the enemy’s weaknesses and defeating the strong with the weak, is the perfect path for my current situation…’
He studied up to the end of the lesson, finally managing to memorize the eight basic routines and their corresponding techniques.
“Just learning them is not enough, you have to practice, practice hard! Once it bes an instinct, you truly master the Boxing Skill!”
As Angelia concluded, she noticed a strange expression on Su Lu’s face: “What’s the matter?”
“No…nothing! I just want to practice a little more.”
Su Lu stared at the prompt that popped up on his attribute panel, a surge of joy swelling within him.
[Ding! Learned Maga Fighting Skill, current level LV1!]

‘Sure enough, I can learn from skill books and get teachings from people. Furthermore, I mastered it through learning, not requiring experience.’
‘Maga Fighting Skill LV1, directly improves Constitution and Strength!’
Su Lu squeezed his fist, feeling a surge of heat pass through his body, his strength seemed to have grown slightly.
Meanwhile, the memory of ‘Eight Forms’ Boxing Skill was ingrained in his mind, bing a physical instinct.
“Okay, practice it once more for me to see!”
Angelia nodded.
Su Lu took a deep breath, his right hand clenched into a fist: “First Form!”
“Huh?”
Angelia’s face changed, in just a blink, she felt a transformative change from Su Lu, he was performing the sequence of moves with exceptional proficiency and precision.
‘As expected… with the assistance from my attribute panel, directly forming a physical instinct, it’s as if I’ve trained for one to two years, what a thrill!’
Once he finished a set of standard moves, Su Lu felt so relieved, he wanted to let out a long cheer.
