Chapter 16: Physique Modeling Realm (1/2)
”Excuse me, how much is a room?” Jake asked the receptionist. She was a neatly dressed, beautiful blonde lady with a huge burst. Every time she bopped her head, things would shake. While Jake was not attracted to her, he still appreciated the perfection.
”That depends on what you want,” she replied
”I want a simple room for the night,”
”It is two coppers sir,” she said.
Jake brought out two coins from his pocket, ”Take.”
He had stolen--picked them during the lecture at the park.
”Here is your key? Your room number is written on your key. Have a good rest,” the receptionist said with an experienced tone.
Jake walked down the hallway directed by the receptionist. He found a door with his room number on it.
He inserted his key and opened it. The room was not bad. It was ordinary with a creaky-looking bed and a window view.
Jake sat on the bed. Even though it could not compare to the one at the guest house, it was better than nothing.
Laying on the bed, Jake thought about the lecture at the park. He had to say master Luca had a way with words. While he said a few irrelevant information, he pointed out the key points of cultivation.
Body, Strong will, Talent, Comprehension.
All of that was needed for the cultivation journey.
Master Luca also said that for the start of cultivation, a strong body and foundation were needed.
After a lot of rumination, Jake stood up from his bed. He began to perform a set of exercises. Thinking back at the zombie fights, he realized he had a weak body, so he had to train it, and what time was better than now?
Jake decided to forget about all his problems and exercise. It was also a good way of training the mind.
....
The next day
”Whew”
Jake whipped his hair. Not liking the length, he grabbed scissors nearby and cut them to shoulder length.
He had just showered, so he felt refreshed. He put on an outfit he bought from the inn. He had spent the last of his stolen coins on it. He wore a stretchy silk shirt and leather pants with a comfortable boot. It was a warrior outfit that fit Jake's preferences.
Jake strolled out of the inn, heading straight to the park.
Five minutes later, he got to the park. There were a few people here, even some new faces. Jake knew why they came. Registration for the classes started yesterday and will end today.
On the podium, Master Luca appeared. After his appearance, the crowd quietened.
He waited a few more minutes before he began, ”Hmm, looks like we all came. I need all of you to sit down, you can't just be standing all day.”
Heeding his instruction, the class sat down on the grass ground.
”On second notes, some of you are looking fresh and tender. I need to burn that out. Cultivation does not need weak people. Everyone stand up.”
Jake stood up along with the class.
”Give me 1000 push-ups right now, ” Master Luca said.
Jake was delighted. He had done some exercises early this morning. So, it wasn't hard for him to do this.
He went into position, waiting for Master Luca.
Seeing as they were ready, Master Luca shouted, ”On my count. One, Two, Three….ten...fifty…..hundred…...two hundred….five hundred….six hundred...”
At the count of five hundred, some youngsters started staggering. Even Jake was shaking from head to two; he had underestimated the exercise.
Master Luca praised those that were doing good, ”Burn it out! Burn out your uselessness. Burn! Hmm, some of you are doing good. You, with the ugly face, keep up the good work and ladies will like you.”
”You! yes you, stop staring at the young lady's ass, focus on burning your fat.” He pointed at a fat youth.
”You, very good. You have a determined face. However, are you sure you don't want to take a dump?”
”You, with the smiley face. Why are you smiling? You look like a pervert.”
”Young lady, why do you keep staring at the boy beside? Do you like him? Good news! As long as you are stronger than him, you can just snatch and marry him. His parents won't mind,” Master Luca addressed a blushing young girl.
Master Luca made a strange expression as he addressed a bulky youngster, ”You. Are you by any chance, gay? Well, it doesn't matter. As long as you cultivate, you can have that skinny boy you keep glancing at.”
