Study to Get Stronger: From Top Student to Muscular Hunk

Chu Yang is a top student whose life goal is to get into Tsinghua or Peking University through the regular exam route and pursue scientific research.

The day he got bound to a System, he thought his lucky break had finally arrived.

But it was called the [Study Hard, Get Strong System], and it had just one rule: every minute he studied, his strength increased a little.

Other people lose their hair from studying. He builds muscle.

He crushes the PE students at pull-ups, carries a stack of books with one hand and stuns the whole class, then casually shoves a bullying delinquent three meters through the air.

The whole school thinks he's secretly lifting weights. Only Chu Yang knows the truth: he really just wants to sit quietly and work through a practice exam.

He becomes the top scorer in his province on the college entrance exam, with the build of a bull calf. Martial arts masters come knocking to ask him to be their teacher, and when an assassin climbs through his window, he knocks them out with an Introduction to University Physics textbook.

Chu Yang looks at his increasingly broad shoulders, on the verge of tears.

"I just wanted to study. How did I end up a musclehead?"
