Did the villainous professor survive today?

"I'll give it a try first."

Kroenke nodded; just listening to it was still somewhat abstract.

He removed his protective gear and began to move his joints again.

Then, he imitated Sofia's previous movements, taking a step, spinning around, and then exerting all his strength.

His eyebrows shot up fiercely, his spine arched slightly, and his muscles twitched all over.

The air was still for a few seconds.

Nothing happened.

"It doesn't seem to be working." Krenk stared at his arm, not getting a single goosebump.

"Brother, my dear brother, your talent in this area is truly terrible," Sophia said regretfully.

"But that makes sense. You're already so skilled in magic. If your physical abilities were any better, would anyone else even stand a chance?"

She puffed out her cheeks, stared at Krenk's face, and suddenly raised a finger.

"Okay, I got it! Bro, wait for me a minute!"

As Sophia spoke, she immediately took off running towards the house and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Five minutes passed.

Sofia shoved a glass bottle containing a pale red liquid into Krenk's hand, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Brother, try this."

"What's this?" Krenk frowned.

"medicine."

Sofia was concise and to the point.

"This is a special potion that can help beginners quickly improve their skills."

"This thing... I hope it doesn't have any side effects..."

Kroenke subconsciously touched his head.

"Why do you think it has side effects?" Sophia asked, looking puzzled.

"Besides, as your sister, would I ever harm you?"

"I don't think so."

Kroenke stated that he had considerable distrust of his sister.

Has anyone tried it?

"Most people use it. Me, Sister Sistine, and the teachers at the Combat Academy all use it. Well, not everyone takes it. Only the rich can afford it. The formula for this drug is very expensive, and it uses the best materials. But the side effects you mentioned have never occurred."

Krenk looked up at Sophia, then looked down at the potion in his hand.

He remembered that there were indeed one-time items in the game that could improve a player's leveling efficiency in the early stages, and they didn't have any side effects.

A rational voice told Klenk that the drug indeed had no side effects, but another voice kept repeating in his ears, saying things like "every medicine has some toxicity."

After some hesitation, Kroenke decided to trust his own rationality.

"How do I use it?"

"It can be taken orally, it's strawberry flavored, and not bitter."

How much each time?

"all."

Kroenke nodded, unscrewed the medicine bottle, and then downed it in one gulp.

A hint of sweetness spread across his tongue, and Krenk smacked his lips, thinking to himself that this thing tasted pretty good.

About ten seconds later, Krenk suddenly felt a surge of heat burst forth from his chest, flowing through his veins and into his limbs.

Immediately afterwards, a chill crept up from the base of my spine to the back of my head.

My scalp tingled, goosebumps rose all over my body, and my pores closed tightly, forcing back the hot air that was about to burst out.

The hot and cold currents within his body felt like a battle between two forest fire and ice beings, and Kroenke's body slowly swelled up as if he were inflating a deflated soccer ball.

Kroenke felt as if he was about to burst, and he reached out to cover his abdomen, trying to alleviate the situation.

But at this moment, his abdomen was like a fully inflated, hard soccer ball, and he couldn't press it down no matter what he did.

Not only in his abdomen, Krenk felt a surge of heat rushing through his blood to his face, where it stopped at his temples.

Even without looking in a mirror, Krenk could feel that his temples, and even his entire head, were bulging.

"Brother, draw your sword! Take this!"

Sophia raised her wooden sword and suddenly thrust it towards Krenk's face.

Krenk's pupils contracted slightly, and then, almost instinctively, he twisted his head with a forceful movement of his neck, dodging the attack.

Huh? You dodged it?

Krenk muttered to himself subconsciously, but before he could think any further, Sophia flicked her wrist, using the space between her thumb and forefinger as a lever, and forcibly changed the direction of the sword, turning the thrust into a diagonal slash in an instant.

Kroenke's muscles rippled like flowing water, and he instinctively took a step back, leaned to the side, and dodged the attack again.

Feeling this power that didn't belong to him, Krenk seemed to understand something.

"You're adapting quickly, bro! That's it, keep improving, feed on me, and eventually devour me completely!"

Sofia praised it in a childish way.

She lowered her center of gravity, twisted her ankle, and relied on the core strength of her slender waist to change her original diagonal slash into a horizontal slash, drawing a perfect circle in the air, aiming at Krenk's side abdomen.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Krenk could only raise his wooden sword downwards to block.

"clang!"

The two swords clashed and bounced back, producing a crisp sound.

Krenk felt the heat surge through his body, stimulating his muscles. Under the influence of the drug, his physical functions reached an unprecedented and wondrous level. He accurately parried every attack from Sophia and even managed to launch a counterattack when the opportunity arose.

The shadows of the two were cast on the ground, creating a chaotic interplay of light and shadow, and the sound of wooden swords clashing was continuous.

After about ten minutes, Krenk suddenly noticed that Sophia's movements slowed down, as if she was tired and couldn't keep up with the pace.

At this moment, Sophia's back was completely exposed to Krenk.

good chance!

Seeing the opening his opponent had made, Krenk raised his wooden sword and slashed down without hesitation.

"Finally, they fell for it..." Sofia laughed silently.

Then, Sofia suddenly accelerated, took a step forward aggressively, and at the same time flipped her hand to grip the sword hilt in reverse, so that the longsword was held diagonally behind her back to block the slash from behind.

Once Kroenke realized it was a scam, Sophia had already tripped him to the ground with a clean sweep kick.

"Brother, you're very observant, but you forgot, my physical fitness is better than yours, how could I possibly get tired before you? You must have deliberately revealed a flaw."

Sofia reached out and helped Krenkla up from the ground.

"Alright, bro, let's call it a day."

The moment he finished speaking, Krenk's previously closed pores suddenly opened wide, and sweat and heat poured out, soaking his entire body. His wet hair clung to his cheeks, as if he had been caught in a downpour.

"call……"

It has to be said that the feeling of being drenched in sweat made Kroenke feel very satisfied with the fight. Sophia's attacks were precise and methodical, with the scale and impact of the blows perfectly controlled. She is definitely an excellent mentor.

"Let's stop here for now. You're not suitable for long-term training after taking the medication, and you have class the day after tomorrow. Being in too much pain will affect your image," Sofia said.

Kroenke nodded slightly, then returned to the mansion with Sophia.

After showering, Krenk, wearing knitted pajamas, lay down on the soft bed to recharge.

Behind him, Sofia pushed open the door and walked in like a cat.

"What's up?" Krenk asked.

"Brother, let me give you a massage," Sophia said, her fingers already on Krenk's shoulder, beginning to apply acupressure.

"If muscles are not maintained, they will become stiff, and once they become stiff, some large movements will not be smooth."

"Don't we have a maid at home who does this specifically?"

"What, you dislike your sister that much?" Sophia said, suddenly straining.

"Be gentle."

Kroenke grunted.

"Serves you right for disliking me."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and press it."

Kroenke closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Perhaps it was the medication, or perhaps it was the profuse sweating, but a wave of exhaustion enveloped Krenk, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
