That freak Zhang Xinglie, easily completed 54.
Zhou Leng took a deep breath, lightly jumped, and grasped the bar with his right hand.
His exposed right arm muscles were tense, skin gleaming faintly, smooth like polished granite.
The muscle groups of his arms, shoulders, back, and core were like car engines, simultaneously exerting force.
Zhou Leng's body suddenly rose, arms bending, head slightly lifted, and as his chin passed the bar, his body dropped.
The muscle groups exerted force again, the body rose once more...
One, two, three...
By the 20th, Zhou Leng's speed did not decrease.
By the 30th, his breathing was slightly heavier.
By the 40th, his movements slowed, sweat covered his entire body.
51...
Zhou Leng put all his strength into passing his chin over the bar, then gently landed.
"Whew..."
Zhou Leng breathed heavily; reaching 51 single-arm pull-ups with no True Qi broke his record, making him second only to Zhang Xinglie at Eighth Middle School.
"51, not bad..."
Zhou Leng looked at his right arm, then slowly headed home.
After showering, Zhou Leng walked to the sink.
He turned on the faucet, caught the water with his hand, then withdrew his hand.
True Qi spread through his right hand, none of the water was lost.
Zhou Leng gently shook it up, down, left, and right, under the effect of True Qi, the water in his hand wobbled like jelly without spilling.
Zhou Leng tried tossing it lightly, then catching it.
Splash...
Part of the water splashed, part stayed in his hand.
Zhou Leng kept trying, after dozens of attempts, he could easily toss and catch without letting a drop spill.
Holding water in his palm, tossing and catching smoothly.
In the following days, Zhou Leng routinely traveled back and forth between Frost Giant Tree and home.
He exchanged all the remaining pill vouchers.
Soon, Zhou Leng received the supplementary admission notice from Rucheng Martial Arts Academy Affiliated Martial Arts Hall.
In the morning, Zhou Leng arrived outside the entrance of Ruda's affiliated martial arts hall.
While waiting, he edited his new Martial Arts Diary.

Looking at his Martial Arts realm, Zhou Leng felt quite relieved.
All above Minor Achievement.
Zhou Leng tapped the screen, "6, Body Technique" below, added a 7, (blank space).
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Leng deleted it.
Then, he silently added in his heart.
7, Training Method: Ten Reversed Beast Fist - First Form of the First Layer of the Standing Elephant Technique.
"Getting closer to perfection."
Zhou Leng thought to himself while hearing a familiar playful noise.
He turned to look and saw a few people he had met in Demon City.
The leader was tall, slim, fair-skinned, somewhat handsome, with long hair slicked back, hair shiny.
Chang Luan, who exchanged jibes with Xue Chengsong at Demon City camp.
Zhou Leng turned back, continued fiddling with his watch.
Those people also glanced over.
After both parties moved away, a blue-haired student beside Chang Luan whispered, "Young Master Chang, that kid was behind Xue Chengsong that day."
"Hmm, they should be part of a Martial Arts study team," Chang Luan said.
"But it doesn't make sense, Xue Chengsong invited top students, how come they're here for supplementary admission?"
"Could be helping hands, after all, teams always need some to do the menial work." Chang Luan didn't care and continued walking forward.
"Oh, should we..." The blue-haired one gave Chang Luan a look.
Chang Luan calmly said, "Their relationship with Xue Chengsong may not be very close; even if it is, I don't necessarily need to stir things up. If he passes the supplementary admission, we'll be classmates, always seeing each other, no need for unnecessary trouble. Of course, if he foolishly stands up for Xue Chengsong, that's a different matter."
"Young Master Chang is magnanimous."
As time arrived, many examinees entered the venue.
The supplementary exam had no written test, only physical tests and martial arts tests, the content was identical to the college entrance exam.
Due to fewer people, the exam process was very swift.
Within a day, Zhou Leng finished his exam and then left alone.
On the way, many supplementary examinees looked at Zhou Leng.
The blue-haired supplementary examinee Tao Bing glanced at Zhou Leng's back, saying, "Young Master Chang really had an eye, this guy is fierce!"
"I also misjudged, if not surprisingly, he should be the first among our supplementary admissions." Tao Bing said, "His performance, not just among supplementary, likely ranks among the top regular examinees at the affiliated martial arts hall. And your Senior Brother position..."
Chang Luan squinted, slowly saying, "I plan to enter the Martial Guard Department in the future, restricted by talent; identities like elite students cannot be obtained. The Senior Brother resume becomes particularly important. If I can't secure it, the old man will scold me for four years."
"Rest assured, I'll sort things out; won't let you lose face." Tao Bing chuckled.
"No rush for now, I'll talk to him before the school test." Chang Luan said.
"Anyway, your cousin's in the student council, if things don't work out, invite him for assistance. Once you have a student council identity, those competing for Senior Brother will have to reconsider." Tao Bing said.
"Hard to say. Let's go, strive to first secure the class leader position." Chang Luan replied.
Zhou Leng returned home, and continued the routine of training, training, constantly training.
The supplementary results soon came out, he ranked first in the Rucheng Martial Arts Academy Affiliated Martial Arts Hall supplementary exam.
Receiving the admission notice, Zhou Leng thought for a while, and sent a message to Xue Chengsong.
Xue Chengsong, amongst those Zhou Leng knew, controlled the most information channels, even surpassing Zhang Xinglie.
"Young Master Xue, can you help me out? I want to ask about the school start test and monthly tests."
Xue Chengsong invited you to a video call...
Zhou Leng immediately chose to switch to voice call.
"Zhou Leng, you... how's it going?"
"I'll be reporting to the affiliated martial arts hall in a few days." Zhou Leng responded.
"Alright, what exactly do you want to know?"
"How to maximize martial arts resources at the affiliated martial arts hall?" Zhou Leng asked.
Xue Chengsong paused for a moment, and said, "Some things, try not to spread widely."
"I understand." Zhou Leng nodded.
Xue Chengsong said, "Whether it's Martial Arts Academy or Martial Arts Hall, you must determine your future direction, based on that choose what you do now. Do you foresee joining the Martial Guard Department, Demon City Army, Martial Mansion, Pioneer Company, or pursuing Extreme Martial Arts?"
"Tell me briefly about each." Zhou Leng requested.
"The Martial Guard Department mainly handles the security within Blue Star, focusing on the Demon Worship Sect, demons infiltrating from Demon City and hostile nations, only entering Demon City occasionally to assist the Demon City Army."
"The Demon City Army is relatively straightforward, mainly dealing with demons in Demon City, sometimes partnering with the Alliance World to battle in the Otherworld."
