Chapter 1: Transformed into a Beautiful Girl

Su Yu stared at himself in the mirror, sizing up his appearance from top to bottom.

He felt an incomparable shock in his heart.

In the mirror, the girl with a delicate, fair face and a pair of large, watery eyes also wore an expression of disbelief.

Set off by long eyelashes, she appeared even more lovely and cute.

Her moist, cherry-like lips were slightly parted, similarly reflecting the surprise of the person in the mirror.

Su Yu raised a hand and pinched his own fair, delicate cheek hard.

“Hiss… So painful!” a melodious and pleasant female voice escaped.

It wasn’t a dream…

He… He, Su Yu, had actually become a girl!

And a stunningly beautiful one at that, a fact even he had to admit.

In his past life, although Su Yu wasn’t some big celebrity, as a dancer, his skills were solid, and he had participated in many talent shows and dance variety programs.

He had seen plenty of beautiful female stars.

And the person in the mirror, which was now herself, was in no way inferior in looks to any of the female stars he had seen in his past life…

Without a trace of makeup, the girl’s skin condition and vibrant energy were even a cut above!

Wait.

How did he suddenly become a girl? And she looked very young, too.

Had he transmigrated?

Right.

He remembered now…

Last night, after finishing a company-arranged show as usual, he had habitually engaged in the usual backstabbing and intrigue of the entertainment industry, where every step was fraught with peril…

He didn’t dare speak his true thoughts to anyone.

He buried his true self deep in his heart, presenting to the world a meticulously crafted persona: Su Yu, the gentle and elegant classical dancer.

He did all this simply because he loved to dance, wanted to be a dancer, to create more beautiful dances, and to be seen by more people!

Not to constantly compromise and suppress himself just to get by in the entertainment industry.

Bound by his company contract, he was even forced to break up with his girlfriend…

At that moment, the despairing Su Yu couldn’t even quit the entertainment industry; the astronomical breach of contract fee would crush him and his family.

He was tired…

Just when Su Yu was about to break, he had an unrealistic dream.

In the dream, he was in another world, a martial artist, wielding a long saber and laughing boisterously as he roamed the world, being his truest self, no longer needing to suppress his heart.

Perhaps he was more suited to be a martial artist than a dancer…

Just then, Su Yu suddenly heard a voice.

“Are you willing to exchange lives?”

“Willing to what?” Su Yu mumbled in his sleep.

“Are you willing to exchange lives with me? To become a… martial artist,” the female voice in the dream spoke again.

“A martial artist…”

“I… am willing!” Su Yu said with determination.

…

And what followed was the scene before him now.

Su Yu looked at himself in the mirror. It seemed he had exchanged lives with the girl in the mirror.

The next moment.

A flood of memories surged into Su Yu’s mind.

After a brief spell of dizziness, the original memories of this body merged into Su Yu’s mind.

The original owner’s name was also Su Yu, a girl with a special talent for martial arts. In this world where martial artists and technology coexisted, she was naturally raised by her family to become a martial artist.

But this girl, it seemed, did not wish to become a martial artist; instead, she wanted to become a popular idol, constantly practicing dance…

This was what led to the previous exchange of lives.

Su Yu continued to look at himself in the mirror, his gaze shifting slightly downward, to the gentle swell on his chest…

He curiously cupped it with his hand, a soft sensation transmitting back.

It seemed there was no room for doubt…

He had indeed become a girl, from “he” to “she”.

Although she had thought of becoming a martial artist, she never expected she would become a girl.

But what was done was done, there was no helping it.

At least now she had become a talented and beautiful young woman, well-suited to being a martial artist.

And she was nearly 10 years younger; speaking of which, she had come out ahead.

She really didn’t want to go back to that repressive life…

So be it, she would be a martial artist!

In this life, she would take firm control of her own destiny.

First.

Su Yu sorted through the memories in her mind, recalling the world she was in.

This world was not Earth, but a parallel world where martial artists and technology coexisted…

In this world, there was something called “Spiritual Energy,” which people could absorb through special cultivation methods to enhance their physical constitution.

Martial artists who reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm could ignore firearms and other thermal weapons.

Martial artists of the Qi Manipulation Realm could even convert spiritual energy into Inner Force and Astral Aura for combat, with power and effects no less than those of powerful thermal weapons like missiles.

Above the Qi Manipulation Realm was the Divine Elephant Realm, a state one in ten million could reach. It was said that martial artists who reached this realm could command the forces of heaven and earth, moving mountains and overturning seas…

And she was now a martial artist at the mid-second stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

The second stage of the Body Tempering Realm corresponded to the Bone Forging Realm. Once achieved, the bones of the entire body would be as hard as iron and stone.

An unarmed ordinary person could hardly harm a peak second-stage martial artist.

What a pity.

If the original owner of this body hadn’t disliked practicing martial arts, she could have reached an even higher level with her special talent.

Still, being at the mid-second stage at 17 years old was considered quite good among her peers.

Besides, she had a special talent…

Monstrous Strength!

This talent had awakened when Su Yu was a child.

The effect was just as its name suggested: boundless strength!

In Su Yu’s memories, her monstrous strength had caused a lot of trouble when she was young.

After all, it was common for children to be noisy and get into fights, and with this being a world where martial arts were universally revered, the general populace was even more aggressive.

But before the age of 15, before one’s bones were fully developed, it was not advisable to use cultivation methods to absorb spiritual energy.

Therefore, Su Yu, with her “Monstrous Strength” talent, was simply invincible before the age of 15!

Because of this, the young Su Yu was practically the school’s top bully, beating wave after wave of male classmates into submission…

Among them, the unluckiest one was beaten by Su Yu for a full three years during middle school.

While all the other boys had submitted to her, this unlucky fellow alone refused to yield, challenging her again and again.

But this unlucky guy was tough; after being beaten by her, he wouldn’t tell his parents or the teachers, he would just come to challenge her once every day.

The result, naturally, was tragic.

Every single challenge, without exception, ended in failure.

Su Yu offered a moment of silent prayer for this unlucky soul…

‘I hope I don’t run into this unlucky guy in the future, otherwise it would be quite awkward.’

Later, at the age of 15, Su Yu transferred to a martial arts high school, finally leaving this unlucky fellow behind.

Now, she had graduated from martial arts high school and arrived at a new stage in her life…

Taking the university entrance exams!

The original Su Yu had wanted to give up the path of a martial artist and was preparing to apply to an arts school, while her family didn’t want to waste her martial arts talent and wanted her to apply to a martial arts university.

It was precisely because of the dispute over her choice of university that the original Su Yu had exchanged lives with her in a dream.

After the exchange, there was no question about which university Su Yu would choose.

She was going to a martial arts university!

Right.

Since something as absurd as transmigrating to a parallel world and exchanging lives had already happened…

Then according to the plots in novels, since she had transmigrated, shouldn’t there be a system, a golden finger, or something of the sort?

Otherwise, how was she supposed to make her way in this world of martial artists?

The next moment.

A mechanical female voice sounded in Su Yu’s mind.

“Ding, intense emotions detected. Do you wish to bind the Valkyrie Training System?”

…

“Holy sh*t! There really is a system!”
