Chapter 3: Implant

"I'm back!"

A loud voice entered the bedroom.

Li Fei knew that this was Li Tianyu returning.

The other party could be considered the predecessor's childhood sweetheart, a sister with no blood relationship.

Li Fei put down the book and turned to look at the bedroom door.

He knew that Li Tianyu would enter his room immediately.

Sure enough, after a while, a short-haired woman wearing a white top and a black long skirt pushed the door and walked in:

"What are you doing?"

Li Fei looked helpless:

"Sister, I've told you many times, knock on the door before entering."

Li Tianyu raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything you have that I, as your sister, can't know?"

Her face inherited the oval face of her mother, Zhang Yuqing, and she also had fair skin. Her long, narrow eyes and willow-leaf-like eyebrows were inherited from her father, Li Lei, giving her a bit more heroic spirit.

A pair of long legs made her taller than many boys of the same age. Standing there, she could be described as heroic.

Li Fei felt that if this sister were placed in his previous life, she would definitely become an international supermodel.

"What if I'm changing clothes inside?"

Li Fei said.

Li Tianyu smiled disdainfully, "Is there any part of your body I haven't seen? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Li Fei was helpless.

His father and Li Lei were comrades-in-arms, and both happened to have the surname Li. In the eyes of outsiders, the two were like brothers.

Li Fei's father died on the battlefield, and Li Lei adopted him. Originally, he wanted Li Fei to call him godfather directly, but the predecessor just wouldn't.

Li Fei understood the predecessor's thoughts. If he called him godfather, Li Tianyu would really become his sister, and the predecessor didn't want to just treat Li Tianyu as a sister.

But in Li Fei's view, Li Tianyu clearly just treated the predecessor as her younger brother, with no other thoughts at all.

"This is also good, saving embarrassment in the future."

Li Fei thought so.

He is now focused on becoming a martial artist and wants to grasp his own destiny, having no thoughts of romance at all.

"Speaking of which, you've been acting weird lately. You didn't want to call me sister before, why did you suddenly change your tune?"

Li Tianyu sat familiarly on the edge of Li Fei's bed, facing him.

Li Fei's heart jumped.

Although he obtained the predecessor's memory after transmigrating, some of his words and actions must be different from the predecessor's.

Fortunately, he is only seventeen years old, in puberty, so a little change in personality is not unacceptable.

He smiled: "Aren't you happy that I call you sister?"

"I was your sister to begin with."

Li Tianyu habitually raised her eyebrows, "Come on, sister will tell you what the tutoring teacher said today."

The score she got in the special physical examination two months ago was Grade A-minus.

According to the school teachers, only those with a score of Grade C or above are eligible to apply for the university's Stop-Conflict Department, and only those with a score of Grade A or above have a greater chance of getting in.

So after that physical examination, the school specifically arranged tutoring teachers for all students who received a Grade A score, teaching them some things in advance to increase their chances of getting into university.

The reason Li Tianyu came back late today was that she was having tutoring at school.

"Is the content of your tutoring something you can just tell others?"

Li Fei asked curiously.

"You are not 'others'."

Li Tianyu said as a matter of course.

Although she also likes to bully Li Fei, from childhood to adulthood, as long as there were good things, she would share them with this younger brother.

"Alright, sit still, sister will tutor you!"

"Please go ahead."

So Li Tianyu cleared her throat and said solemnly:

"The human body has limits. No matter how you train, your speed cannot be faster than a bullet, and your body cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery. Do you know why the martial artists of our Great Lan Dynasty can defeat those foreigners' guns and cannons?"

"Why?"

Li Fei looked curious.

This question is also what he most wants to know.

Why can the martial artists of this world defeat thermal weapons?

The martial artists of his previous life only dared to say "within seven steps, the fist is fast." Does this world mean that beyond seven steps, the fist is also fast and strong?

"Because we have implants."

Li Tianyu didn't keep him in suspense and revealed the answer directly.

"Implants?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it's something implanted in the human body. With it, martial artists can break the limits of the human body and possess more powerful strength."

"This..."

Li Fei thought there would be things like internal energy or fighting spirit in this world, but he never expected it to be a so-called implant.

Is this some kind of cyberpunk martial arts?

"What else did the teacher tell you?"

"The teacher also said that after this implant enters the human body, it will cause damage to the human body. Some people have good physiques and strong endurance, so they can slowly adapt. But the vast majority of people's physiques cannot withstand the implant, so naturally, they cannot become true martial artists."

"So that's it. So the physical examination score last time was actually evaluating our ability to withstand the implant?"

"Yes."

Li Tianyu looked into Li Fei's eyes, "Your score is Grade B-minus. Although it's not as good as mine, it's already stronger than the vast majority of people, and you also have a chance to become a martial artist."

This was her main purpose for coming to chat with Li Fei today. She was worried that Li Fei would be hit by this matter.

In her impression, this younger brother of hers had an introverted and sensitive personality.

And after Li Fei finished listening to what she said, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face:

"With the Myriad Blood Bead on me, my physique is definitely more powerful than Grade A-plus!"

Seeing the smile on Li Fei's face, Li Tianyu also smiled:

"The tutoring teacher also said that they will give us some medicine next, which can allow our bodies to adapt to the side effects of the implant in advance. I'll secretly bring some back for you later, so you can try it too."

Li Fei was stunned when he heard this, and quickly said solemnly:

"Sister, you don't need to bring medicine back for me. I don't plan to apply for university this year."

Li Tianyu frowned: "You're not applying for university? Didn't you say you wanted to be a general with me and go to the battlefield together in the future?"

Unlike other girls, her dream since childhood was to become a female general, galloping on the battlefield and leaving her name in history.

Only by becoming a martial artist, and a sufficiently powerful martial artist, could she realize this dream, so she chose the Stop-Conflict Department for her vocational school major and must get into university.

Li Fei smiled: "I'm just not applying for university this year. I plan to go to the Martial Arts Hall in Xingcheng. There are quotas every year to directly enter the university's Stop-Conflict Department."

"Did my dad say something to you?"

Li Tianyu's face sank, and she stood up abruptly, "I'm going to find him!"

"Sister!"

Li Fei quickly grabbed her, "Our family can only afford to send one person to university. Your aptitude is better than mine, so you should be the one to go. Don't make things difficult for Uncle Li."

"I..."

Li Tianyu hesitated.

From childhood to adulthood, she could share all good things with Li Fei.

But this time...

"Sister, the Martial Arts Hall also has quotas for university. I will get the quota at the Martial Arts Hall, and next year we can meet at the university."

Li Fei said in a firm tone.

The sunset light shone in from the bedroom window, reflecting on Li Fei, making him look golden all over.

Li Tianyu looked at this younger brother who grew up with her, feeling that he really seemed a bit different.

"Then it's a deal. We'll see each other at the university next year."

"Hmm, it's a deal!"
