I Truly Have Average Talents - Chapter 40

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Liu Chuan woke up.

Lin Sisi had asked him out yesterday, so he had to do his daily cultivation homework in advance. After all, he couldn’t let his cultivation go to waste just because of a date.

When Lin Sisi asked him to meet her yesterday, Liu Chuan was also a little surprised, but he still agreed without much consideration.

How could he reject an invitation from a beauty?

Two hours later, Liu Chuan ended his morning cultivation. He took a shower before choosing a clean and fresh set of clothes.

Just as he was about to leave the house, the door to Shi Yanyan’s room opened with a creaking sound. Then, Shi Yanyan walked out with her messy hair that looked like a bird’s nest.

He saw Shi Yanyan in a set of white silk pajamas with no shoes on, only a pair of lace-up socks. She didn’t look like she was wearing any underwear either.

Her beautiful figure was faintly discernible under the sunlight…

Liu Chuan quickly turned around, not daring to look again. Meanwhile, he cried out in his heart, “What a demoness!”

Shi Yanya rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked a little groggy. She did not know if it was because she had just woken up, or because Liu Chuan had woken her up when he was showering.

“Liu Chuan, I’m hungry,” said Shi Yanya in a sleepy tone as she looked at Liu Chuan.

Liu Chuan was puzzled. If she was hungry, she should go and eat. Why did she tell him that she was hungry? Thus, he replied without understanding the situation, “If you’re hungry, you should go buy breakfast. There’s a restaurant at the entrance of the neighborhood. It tastes really good.”

“I don’t like that. I like the food that you make.” Shi Yanya gradually regained her senses and spoke more fluently.

“I don’t have time today. I’ll cook for you next time. I’ll be leaving first.” Liu Chuan did not dare to look back. After saying that, he quickly opened the door and ran away.

He was a hot-blooded youth after all. If he didn’t leave now, he might embarrass himself.

When Shi Yanya saw Liu Chuan running away as if he was escaping from her, she couldn’t help but laugh secretly. “What a coward.”

…

…

However, after some thought, Liu Chuan still bought a few trays of xiaolongbao, soy milk, and fried dough sticks for Shi Yanya at the entrance of the neighborhood.

Then, he sneaked into the house like a thief. He placed the breakfast on the dining table and sneaked away. He was afraid that he would run into Shi Yanya again. After all, the thin pajamas were too sexy. Liu Chuan was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

He also filled his stomach in Uncle Wang’s shop at the same time. He was a little hungry.

“Little Chuan, you’ve been eating a lot lately. You seem to have grown taller after eating so much.” Uncle Wang was surprised to see Liu Chuan eat four portions of xiaolongbao.

Liu Chuan said with a smile, “It’s alright, it’s alright. I’ve been cultivating recently and have consumed a lot of energy, so my appetite has also increased a little.”

“Cultivation is good. If you can become a martial artist, that would be amazing. You can easily find a good vocation.” Uncle Wang seemed to yearn for cultivation. After saying that, he sighed and said, “You guys have made it in time. Uncle Wang is old. There’s no chance for me.”

When Liu Chuan heard this, he didn’t know how to reply. He could only cover his head and eat his dumplings.

“Uncle Wang, I’ll be leaving first.” After eating, Liu Chuan greeted him and left.

“Alright.”

…

…

Liu Chuan and Lin Sisi agreed to meet in front of her family dojo at 9 am. However, Liu Chuan arrived at 8 am.

It was also his first time here. He saw a wide door that was more than three meters tall. He looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging on it. On it were two big words: “Lin Dojo”.

The dojo was already open at this time. Seeing that Lin Sisi had not arrived yet, Liu Chuan decided to go in and take a look.

Liu Chuan thought that he would meet a lady at the front desk when he walked in, but there was nothing.

After entering the dojo, he realized that there were already quite a number of people training inside. Some were training with their bare hands in the arena, while others were holding weapons and training by themselves.

Most of the people in the dojo were in their twenties. There were also a few older people.

Liu Chuan observed everyone carefully and realized that most of them were not martial artists. These people’s physiques were not bad, but compared to the current Liu Chuan, there were still some differences.

However, he could still vaguely sense that there were a few people with very strong auras. Most of them were around 30 years old. They should be the instructors of the dojo.

“Student, are you new here?” When Liu Chuan was observing the others, one of them seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned to look at Liu Chuan. Seeing that Liu Chuan was an unfamiliar figure, he asked.

This person looked to be in his forties and had a strong physique. When he looked at Liu Chuan, Liu Chuan felt that he was very dangerous.

This person was very strong!

Liu Chuan nodded and said, “It’s my first time here, so I came in for a stroll.”

The middle-aged man walked over and patted Liu Chuan on the shoulder while praising him. “Not bad, your constitution must be above 180 points. You look like a student.”

Liu Chuan was a little surprised as this middle-aged man had good judgment. However, his constitution had already broken through 200 points, which was even higher than what this man had estimated.

However, Liu Chuan still nodded and said, “Yes, I’m a third-year student from Ping An High School.”

When the middle-aged man heard Liu Chuan’s words, his eyes lit up.

The rest of the people in the dojo gathered around as if they had seen a rare treasure.

“Kid, you’re impressive. Your constitution is so strong.”

“He’s only in his third year of high school, yet he already has such a strong physique. Ping An County is such a small place, yet there’s already a genius.”

“Not bad, kid. Do you want to practice together?”

“Practice together? Your constitution is only at 100 points. It isn’t even enough to withstand a single punch from him.”

“Bullsh*t, I can knock you down with one punch.”

“Why? Are you unhappy? Let’s try.”

“Let’s do it.”

Liu Chuan was dumbfounded as well. How could someone start fighting amongst themselves just like that?

When the two of them jumped onto the arena, the crowd surrounding Liu Chuan also dispersed. They all ran down to the ring and began to cheer.

“It’s fine, it’s always like this here. If you aren’t convinced, then practice with us until you are convinced.” When the middle-aged man saw Liu Chuan’s strange expression, he smiled and explained.

Liu Chuan nodded his head to express his understanding. He also followed the crowd to the front of the arena where two people were fighting.

As he watched, Liu Chuan realized that although the constitution and strength of the people in the arena weren’t very high, every move and stance was very orderly. Almost all of the moves were linked together. If Liu Chuan’s constitution were similar to theirs, he would definitely not be their match.

The two people on stage, one tall and one short, were presumably old rivals. Thus, both sides understood each other very well. For a time, they fought back and forth, and it was very lively.

In the end, the short man found the tall man’s weakness and dodged the tall man’s powerful attack. Then, he took advantage of the tall man’s lack of strength and struck the tall man’s back with his elbow.

The tall man was instantly knocked down to the ground. However, the short man did not exploit his victory. After all, it was just a normal match, not a life and death match. He had already won.

The short man raised his hands, indicating that he wanted to enjoy the cheers that victors should receive.

The people below the stage also cooperated and shouted the short man’s name.

“Wang Chao! Wang Chao! Wang Chao!”

…

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Chuan and asked, “How is it, little brother? Are you interested in going up to practice with them?”
