Three years later, Li Ming celebrated his twenty-first birthday.
Over these three years, Li Ming had grown taller, reaching an impressive height of 1.85 meters. His persistent training in martial skills had rendered his figure well-proportioned and his movements agile. Coupled with his extraordinary appearance, anyone who saw him would have to praise him as a tall and handsome young man.
"It's time to head to the Capital City for the imperial examination," he said.
That night, Li Ming put down yet another book and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. A sudden urge to admire the moon arose in his heart, so he pushed open the door of his study, walked into the courtyard, took a step, and instantly leaped several meters into the air, landing on the rooftop.
Feeling the martial force within him, Li Ming shook his head again.
Once, when he had first been exposed to the mundane martial skills of this world, he thought that their power could rival the ancient martial arts of Earth.
