When the Earth Awakens, I Become the Female Sword Saint

Chapter 21: Physical Fitness Test

On Friday, at the school’s sports field, not only the third-year students but even first and second-year students came to watch. The stands were filled with people, and a large number of students gathered at the sidelines, all with eager expressions, wanting to see the impressive figures of the seniors who were about to face the most important exam of their lives.

Yuyin, in a white T-shirt and sports shorts, naturally attracted the most attention. The school beauty of the third year, the object of admiration for all the girls, the dream girl of the boys; regardless of her test results, just being able to see her in sportswear from afar was already a happiness.

“Yuyin, the high jump test is about to start,” Ying Luo, also in sportswear, said. She not only participated in the test herself but was also well-versed in the entire process, acting as Yuyin’s guide or assistant, just like her usual role as vice president.

“Mm.” Yuyin flicked her long hair and walked beside Ying Luo. In fact, Yuyin had already run 1500 meters during her morning exercise before the test began, but she felt perfectly fine, exuding the vitality of youth and sports, mixed with the morning breeze, making Ying Luo feel a wave of serene happiness.

She came from the night, yet seemed like a princess of dawn.

Arriving at the high jump area in a corner of the grass, some girls were already jumping. The physical fitness assessment for the women’s Yuanwu college entrance exam consisted of seven events, only looking at the total score and not individual results, to accommodate different types of talents.

However, the girls in front had basically completed their two rounds, while Yuyin had yet to take her turn.

This made the nearby fans a bit anxious; why hadn’t she jumped yet?

At this moment, most of the girls had finished jumping, including Ying Luo.

Currently, the best score was from Liu Li, who jumped 1.6 meters on her first attempt, but she seemed to have said something to the judge and was temporarily not planning to jump again.

Two students stepped forward to raise the bar, which suddenly began to rise significantly.

The bar was set at 1.8 meters.

At that moment, the surrounding students couldn’t help but look around in confusion.

“What is this? Is there a mistake?”

“Could it be that the boys’ test is starting?”

A few second-year boys were discussing.

“Are you kidding? This is 1.8 meters! Even among the boys in our school, only Long Xiaotian can jump 1.8 meters!”

“Yeah… so I’m puzzled too…”

“Hey! Look over there.”

While the younger students were discussing in confusion, in the corner, Yuyin had already begun to prepare for her run.

“It’s Senior Yuyin!”

“No way, is she going to challenge 1.8 meters on her first jump?”

“Senior Yuyin is great at sports, but 1.8 meters seems too much of a stretch, right?”

A few girls were also blushing and discussing.

In front of the crowd, a girl dressed in a half-Chinese style diagonal sports shirt, with embroidered Chinese shorts and braided hair, was Liu Li. She looked at Yuyin and slightly furrowed her brows.

“Xia Yuyin, I’ve heard about Zhang Biaoyang’s incident, but it seems exaggerated, right? You are indeed excellent, but half of your excellence comes from your beauty. Perhaps these rumors are just the beautiful fantasies of your admirers…” Liu Li thought to herself. She was born in a martial arts family in the Zero Capital, practicing martial arts since childhood, but facing a fierce man like Zhang Biaoyang, Liu Li felt a bit intimidated, as he was too strong, and any small mistake on her part could lead to failure.

“Whoosh.

The sound of rain started, and she moved gracefully, her steps light but not hurried. Her long, jade-like legs took precise strides, and in thirteen steps, she reached the horizontal bar, leaping into the air.

In midair, she formed a beautiful arc, her hips at least two or three palms away from the bar, effortlessly clearing it, like a flying swallow.

“……” Liu Li couldn’t help but take a deep breath of the cool air, her eyes wide open, “Is it really that simple?”

Yuyin landed on the air cushion, her legs raised high, which from certain angles, rewarded the waiting junior students with a view.

“Phew… as expected…” Yuyin stood up easily and walked off the air cushion.

These days of practicing source energy had significantly increased her physical abilities, and just two days ago, she had consumed the Ice Fruit found by the White Ape, further enhancing her physical foundation. She was quite confident in jumping over 1.8 meters.

“Ding, successfully surprised the juniors, gained 3 soul charm.”

“Successfully broke Liu Li’s prejudice, gained 2 soul charm.”

Yuyin smiled slightly, seemingly enjoying the joy of breaking the school record, but in truth, it was not so.

In fact, she had quietly come here to practice before dawn, confirming her performance first, which was why she intentionally set the take-off point so high.

The purpose was…

Yuyin wanted to test the method of obtaining soul charm.

The previous two times were coincidental, but soul charm values were limited; it was impossible to wait for coincidences all the time. Yuyin wanted to try to layout her own plan, actively triggering everyone’s surprise to gain soul charm values.

It seemed her idea was not wrong; this soul charm value was simply a display of strength, not necessarily something that could be obtained. The key was to surprise everyone, exceed their expectations, or break some people’s self-righteous conclusions; that was the most likely way to gain soul charm values.

Moreover, Yuyin felt that harming or scaring people for no reason was useless. To surprise everyone, the act had to have some depth; it couldn’t be too vulgar, it had to be natural, and not forced.

Human hearts are hard to gauge.

But this soul charm value, it must come from the human heart… Yuyin felt.

“Xia Yuyin, do you want to jump again? You’ve already broken the record; do you want to challenge a new height?” The physical education teacher asked with some anticipation.

“No, thanks.”

Saying this, Yuyin turned and walked towards the edge of the field.

“Ding, a certain boy who secretly admires you thinks your back looks very cool, gained 1 soul charm value.”

“Ding, some girls who admire you regard you as an object of fantasy, gained 2 soul charm values.”

Yuyin smiled slightly… huh? Wait a minute, what kind of object do those girls regard me as?

This physical fitness test, with Yuyin, the school beauty, as the focus, completely captured everyone’s attention.

Throughout the day, Yuyin repeatedly achieved astonishing results, not only ranking first in the women’s heptathlon but also breaking three school records, one of which might even have equaled a district record.

On this day, Yuyin gained a total of 21 soul charm values.
