Chapter 1 Li Yuan September of the year 2042 in the Seven-Star Calendar, Xia Kingdom, Jiangbei Province, Jiangcheng. This city, known as the furnace, has winter and summer for more than a year, and early September is the hottest time of the year. Guanshan District No. 1 High School. On the back blackboard of every classroom in the senior high school teaching building, there are similar banners: "If you don't fight, your senior year is a waste", "Fight all year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and fight for your whole life without regrets", "If you are not ruthless in the senior year, how can you stand firm"... A classroom on the east side of the first floor is particularly large, covering nearly a thousand square meters. Unlike ordinary classrooms, it does not have any tables or chairs. On one side are a large number of cold weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and sticks, and on the other side are many special instruments and a special runway paved with dark red metal. This is the martial arts class classroom. At this moment, there are more than a hundred students practicing standing exercises in the classroom, performing different movements. Some look like monkeys, some like flying birds, and some like tigers...they all have excellent spirits. "Its root is in the feet, starts from the legs, dominates the waist, and the strength of all the bones is manifested in the fingers..." A burly middle-aged man in a black martial arts uniform walked in the team. He had a grim face, was nearly two meters tall, had a voice like a bell, and stared at every student like a tiger.
The most eye-catching thing is his right arm, which is a silver metal arm that can be perfectly combined with the broken limb and is agile and free. "Ordinarily, this should be the basic practice method that you should have mastered in your second year of high school. As a result, in your third year, you are still standing in a loose posture." The burly man shouted angrily. As he walked, a casual slap from his metal arm would knock a sweaty student to the ground: "If the posture is stable, the center of gravity will be difficult to shift. The basic practice method is the foundation of martial arts!" "One day of practice is one day of improvement. One day without practice is a hundred days of wasted effort. I see that even during the half-month summer vacation, you guys completely relax and don't practice at home." "You're already in your third year of high school, and you still want to relax? You're just ordinary students, and you haven't awakened your spirituality. How are you going to get into a martial arts university if you don't work harder?" "Even if you don't plan to apply to a martial arts university and choose the cultural route, martial arts scores still account for 30%..." the burly man kept scolding. This group of students didn't even dare to breathe, and they practiced more seriously. "Report." "Report." More than ten voices suddenly sounded at the door of the classroom, and a group of students in martial arts uniforms appeared at the door. "The second group that participated in the spiritual test is back?" The burly man glanced towards the door. Immediately, the burly man's sharp eyes fell on one of the students. This student is nearly meters tall, with a crew cut. At first glance, there is nothing unusual about him, but if you look closely, you will find that his head is upright, his body is straight, and his spine is aligned. Just standing casually gives people a sense of unshakability. Apparently, this student has incorporated the basic practice of 'the upper body should be empty and the head should be energized, and the tailbone should be sunken' into his daily walking and sitting routines. Truly make the heart move and the body follow, and the thoughts and spirit convey. This level of martial arts has surpassed all the students standing in the classroom. "Li Yuan, how are you?" The burly man looked at the other party. Nearly a hundred students standing in the stance couldn't help but secretly glance at the student named Li Yuan. "Teacher Xu, he failed to awaken." The student named Li Yuan shook his head calmly, not showing any disappointment. The burly man frowned when he heard this. Li Yuan is the student in his class who has the greatest hope of awakening his martial arts spirituality.
"Li Yuan couldn't make it?" "In the final exam of his second year of high school, his martial arts scores were among the top 6 in the grade. His physical fitness had reached level at that time. He must be even stronger now. How could he not have awakened his martial arts spirituality?" "It's so difficult to awaken the spirituality of martial arts!" Nearly a hundred students standing in the stance were secretly surprised. Nowadays, there are two ways to select talents in the entire Xia Kingdom and even the entire Blue Star - cultural courses and martial arts training. All students, starting from junior high school, will be taught basic training methods and practice martial arts by the state. Guanshan District No. 1 High School has more than two thousand students in the senior year and a total of twenty classes. But there is only one elite martial arts class, and the others are ordinary classes. There are more than sixty students in the martial arts elite class, and all of them have awakened their martial arts spirituality. They often rank among the top fifty in martial arts performance in the grade. It was surprising that Li Yuan could rank among the top 30 in martial arts in the general class. "What about the others? Has anyone awakened their spirituality?" The burly man glanced at the others. A silence. "Come in first." The burly man was not surprised. In fact, if one can awaken the spirituality of martial arts, most people will succeed in the first year of high school or even junior high school. Want to awaken in the third year of high school? The hope is slim! The burly man originally only had hope for Li Yuan. He waved his hand and said, "Group 3, go to the martial arts building for spiritual testing." Boom~ The students in one row who were standing still already felt sore in their legs and feet. Upon hearing this, they immediately stood up and rushed out of the classroom. Li Yuan and his group returned to their positions and started practicing standing still again. "Brother Yuan, Xu Ban seems a little disappointed." A mature-looking classmate next to Li Yuan with a short beard muttered, "Brother Yuan, you weren't disappointed at all when the results of the spiritual test came out just now?" "do not talk." "Keep practicing. Practice the basics for four hours every day. These are the basic skills." Li Yuan said calmly. He had guessed the result early on, so he naturally wouldn't be disappointed. "Four hours?" The mature-looking boy muttered, "You are worthy of being the second-volume king of our class." Li Yuan smiled when he heard that, and no longer paid attention to the other party. He closed his eyes lightly, stood in his position, and bent his legs slightly. His aura changed, like a piece of rock, and the unshakable charm on his body became even stronger. "Rock Cultivation Method." Many movements of this cultivation method emerged in Li Yuan's mind. He had practiced these movements thousands of times and knew them by heart. In this era, martial arts are popular. The Seven Star Alliance has opened up seven basic cultivation methods to all citizens of the seven planets. There is no distinction between high and low, only whether they are suitable or not. No matter if one is rich and powerful or an ordinary citizen, as long as one practices martial arts, one must start with the basic training methods. "The Rock Cultivation Method" is exactly the cultivation method chosen by Li Yuan.
I have been practicing for more than five years. Each basic practice method can stimulate human potential to a great extent, continuously improve physical fitness, and even completely awaken spirituality. Not to mention that Li Yuan's physical fitness is less than level 7. Even entry-level warriors whose physical fitness exceeds level 9 will continue to practice basic training methods. "call!" "call!" Each basic practice method has thirty-six training movements and a corresponding exclusive breathing method. Li Yuan's breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes long, coordinating with the movements of his limbs, causing slight sounds to be faintly produced inside his body. Muscles and bones roar together! "It's so comfortable." Li Yuan was immersed in this practice. He could feel that his bones, muscles and tendons were being constantly stimulated and becoming stronger. This is the evolution of life. In this era, ordinary teenagers have the potential to break the world sprint record from a century ago. What you rely on is the practice of cultivation. "It's a pity that I didn't make it into the top 20 in the last final exam. Otherwise, in addition to the 5,000 yuan scholarship, I could have received some more Qi and Blood Medicinal Liquid this semester." Li Yuan's thoughts drifted away: "With more Qi and Blood Medicinal Liquid, my physical fitness will improve faster, and it can also relieve some of the financial pressure on my uncle and aunt." Li Yuan is an orphan and was raised by his uncle and aunt. My uncle is an employee of a state-owned enterprise and my aunt is a teacher in a junior high school. Logically speaking, such a family, if not wealthy, is at least well-off. But Li Yuan had been weak and sickly since childhood, and his uncle and aunt spent a lot of money to treat his illness. Later, following the doctor's advice, the uncle and aunt invested a lot of money in Li Yuan's martial arts training starting from junior high school, even more than what they spent on their own children. fortunately. Li Yuan has good talent and practices very hard. He was admitted to the No. 1 High School in Guanshan District in the high school entrance examination. After entering high school, his grades continued to improve. He was among the top 100 in his grade in his second year of high school, and even ranked among the top 30 in his grade in the final examination of his second year of high school. This made my uncle and aunt very happy. However, martial arts training requires talent and even more money. Especially after his physical fitness reached level 6, the food from the astral realm, medicines for replenishing qi and blood, medicated food, special equipment, etc. needed to improve his physical fitness were all gold-consuming caves. Compared with other students in the top 30 of the grade, Li Yuan's external conditions are average, even poor. However, Li Yuan knew in his heart that his uncle and aunt had done their best to provide for him. I have younger brothers and sisters at home, so I can’t ask for more.
"But, that's six times." "I have failed the spiritual test every year since the first grade of junior high school." Li Yuan thought: "If the spiritual energy in my body can be awakened, I can get a 10% bonus on the test score. I can definitely rush into the top ten in the grade directly." "After awakening the martial arts spirit, you can also receive a national subsidy." Whether to awaken the martial arts spirituality. Looking at the entire blue star and even the seven major planets, it is the most important indicator for assessing a person's martial arts talent, without a doubt. Unfortunately, Li Yuan has not been able to awaken his martial arts spirituality. "Over the years, no more than five students from our school have been admitted to the top five universities." Li Yuan thought silently in his heart: "With my current grades, it won't be a problem for me to be admitted to an ordinary martial arts university." “But if you want to get into the top five universities, your hope is very slim if you don’t awaken your spirituality.” The Xia Kingdom has a population of nearly two billion and twenty-four provinces. Each province has a martial arts university that only recruits students within the province. This is the goal of most students who are interested in martial arts. The five famous schools are five famous martial arts schools established by the Xia Kingdom, which recruit students from all over the country. In ordinary martial arts universities, students have access to a lot of training resources, but they still have to rely more on themselves. The country will devote a lot of resources to each of the students of the five famous martial arts schools. "With the training of national resources, I can go further on the road of martial arts. In the future, I can become an entry-level martial artist like Teacher Xu, or even stronger than Teacher Xu." Li Yuan said to himself. His college entrance examination goal is to enter the five prestigious universities. However, the five famous martial arts schools also have extremely high score requirements. "Take it one step at a time. There are still nine months left before the college entrance examination." Li Yuan practiced quietly, with fewer distracting thoughts in his mind. …… Soon after, there was a burst of noise outside the classroom, and more than ten students from three groups returned to the classroom door, with a little excitement on their faces. "Teacher Xu, Wan Xiao has awakened his spirituality." "Teacher Xu..." Many students couldn't help but shout before the burly man asked. The classroom suddenly exploded. "Wan Xiao, has he awakened his martial arts spirituality?" "Is he going to the elite class?" “I heard that students in the elite class can practice advanced training methods in advance.” Most of the classmates couldn’t help but reveal envious looks. Only by awakening your martial arts spirituality can you enter the elite class. Otherwise, even if Li Yuan ranked among the top 30 in his grade, he could only stay in an ordinary class. "Wan Xiao?" Li Yuan opened his eyes and couldn't help but look at the burly figure with a slightly flushed face standing at the door of the classroom. He was nearly meters tall and had a very strong build, like a bear. His arms were incredibly thick, but his face looked a little childish. It was Wan Xiao, the only student in the class besides Li Yuan whose martial arts performance was among the top 100 in the grade.
"Li Yuan." Wan Xiao, who was excited, seemed to notice Li Yuan's gaze. He couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan and smiled. Li Yuan also smiled. In terms of martial arts achievements, Li Yuan is better than Wan Xiao. In terms of family background, Wan Xiao's is much better off. As the two students with the best grades in the class, Li Yuan and Wan Xiao seem to often compete for scholarships, but they have a good relationship. The friendship between classmates is often very pure. "Damn! Brother Yuan, you didn't awaken, but this Wan Gou Xiong actually awakened. He's just lucky." The mature-looking boy standing next to Li Yuan couldn't help but mutter, "So, his martial arts performance has spiritual bonus points, and he's almost catching up with you, Brother Yuan." Wan Xiao, nicknamed Bear. Li Yuan laughed softly and said, "Old Zhou, are you envious?" The boy who was speaking was named Zhou Qi, and because of his abundant hair and mature face, he was nicknamed "Old Zhou". He was Li Yuan's junior high school classmate. They were admitted to Guanshan No. 1 Middle School together and were assigned to the same class. After five or six years, we can be called good brothers. "I'm not envious." Zhou Qi whispered, "My academic performance is good enough to get into a key university. I take martial arts classes mainly to exercise my body. I can't always be a weakling and fail to catch up with Lingling in the future... I'm just standing up for you." Li Yuan smiled. Zhou Qi's physical fitness is average, even short of level 4, but his academic performance is very good, ranking in the top in his grade. National resources are limited, and the number of students admitted to the Martial Arts University is ultimately small. Most students eventually enter different universities based on their academic scores. "Wan Xiao has good physical fitness, so it's normal for him to awaken his martial arts spirituality." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Besides, the college entrance examination is a competition among high school students across the province or even the country, not just a competition with Wan Xiao alone." Wan Xiao awakened his martial arts spirituality, and Li Yuan could only be happy for him. There are more than sixty high school students in our school who have awakened their martial arts spirituality. Looking across the province and the country... there are too many. Instead of worrying about others, it is better to improve yourself. This is the truth that Li Yuan has understood since he was a child. …… Wan Xiao's successful awakening gave a great stimulus to the other students, and those who had not yet been tested all had some expectations. The fourth group, the fifth group...failure, failure. In the end, all the students in Class 3 (2) were tested, and only Wan Xiao awakened his martial arts spirituality. Wait until all students return to the classroom. The burly Teacher Xu glanced at them and said in a low voice, "Okay, today's basic training ends here. Stop." wow~ Crash! Immediately, all the students stopped, and many of them already had sore and weak legs.
But due to Teacher Xu's strictness, no one dared to lie on the ground. The basic practice method consumes a lot of physical strength. Even though the physical fitness of senior high school students generally reaches level 4, most of them still feel exhausted after practicing for two hours. "It's a good thing that some students can awaken their martial arts spirits. Don't be disappointed if you don't succeed." "The school will organize another spiritual test for both the January adjustment exam and the April unified exam." "Before the college entrance examination, there is a national unified spiritual test." "As long as you awaken your spirituality before the college entrance examination, your martial arts scores will be increased." Teacher Xu said in a low voice: "But remember, the test scores are the foundation. The additional points will only be useful if the foundation scores are high enough." “Even in the elite class, not everyone can get into the Martial Arts University.” "How do you get good grades? Work hard!" "Like Li Yuan, even without the extra points for spirituality, his martial arts scores were still over 800, surpassing most of the elite class students." Teacher Xu scolded, "And I don't need to say much about his hard work." Most of the students couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, with admiration in their eyes. Li Yuan's hard work in cultivation was well-known throughout the senior year. "Brother Yuan, Xu Ban has brought hatred to you again." Zhou Qi muttered softly on the side. Li Yuan smiled helplessly. Ever since his martial arts scores broke into the top 100 in his grade, he has gotten used to being 'someone else's kid'. Mr. Xu, whose real name is Xu Bo, is the martial arts head teacher of Li Yuan's class and one of the only two special martial arts teachers in Guanshan District No. 1 High School. As far as Li Yuan knows, Teacher Xu's physical fitness has exceeded level 15, which is considered outstanding among the entry-level warriors. He was originally a warrior in the army. He retired after being injured and came to Guanshan High School to teach. If one's physical fitness exceeds level 9, he or she will be classified as an entry-level warrior and have a very high status in society. The physical fitness of ordinary adults is generally only level 5-6 "You are at a stage where your physical fitness is improving rapidly. Senior year is a year that will determine your fate." Teacher Xu continued to lecture: "Don't slack off." "Now, take a half-hour break, and then I will conduct the skills assessment on you one by one." After giving the lecture, Teacher Xu turned and left. "what?" "Skills assessment?" "You're about to be beaten by Xu Ban again. I bet you can't last more than three moves." "Can you survive three moves from Xu Ban?" Many students whispered to each other, all quite excited. There was also an inexplicable light flashing in Li Yuan's eyes. Blue Star and even the seven major planets have always been facing the threat of war, and powerful warriors play an important role. Therefore, it is a consensus that all the people should practice martial arts.
In human society, top martial arts masters have an extremely high status. Students like Li Yuan admire martial arts masters very much. Xu Bo is already one of the top martial arts masters that students like Li Yuan can meet in real life. "Brother Yuan, skill assessment is your strong point." Zhou Qi said excitedly. "Think about yourself first. I saw that you didn't make much progress in standing still compared to last semester." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Don't let Xu Ban knock you down with a stick later. That would be embarrassing in front of Peng Lingling." Peng Lingling is Zhou Qi's unrequited love. Zhou Qi's face froze, and he said awkwardly, "I'm not planning on applying to a martial arts university, Lingling won't care." …… Inside the classroom, each student took out his or her weapon from the weapons cabinet behind the classroom weapons rack. Afterwards, they all put on their protective gear. In this era, every high school student will be equipped with one or two unsharpened cold weapons by the state, mainly knives, guns, and shields, and a few will choose axes, halberds, swords, etc. As for weapons like hammers, hatchets, hooks, forks, whips, and maces? Almost no students would choose them. When it comes to the practice of cold weapons, swords and guns are the mainstream. The basic score for the martial arts college entrance examination is one thousand points, which is composed of three parts: physical fitness, martial arts skills, and cultural performance, accounting for 50%, 40%, and 10% respectively. If you awaken your spirituality, there will be additional bonuses. Therefore, skill assessment is very important and is the top priority of students' daily training. If you just have good physical fitness, you can't go to martial arts university. call! Li Yuan also took out a weapon from his own exclusive weapons cabinet, a large black gun, nearly three meters long and weighing about five kilograms. It is called a big spear, but the spear head is just a decoration, more like a long stick. After all, it is issued by the state and is only used for training, not real combat. "call!" Li Yuan held the gun and swung it seemingly casually. Swish! The tip of the gun pierced the air, creating a faint sense of tearing through the air, causing the faces of the students nearby to change slightly. With Li Yuan's strength, a stab, even without a sharp blade, is incredibly powerful. "Li Yuan is the only one in our class who can handle this kind of big gun." "Why does Li Yuan holding a gun give me the feeling that he is facing Xu Ban?" Many classmates whispered, revealing envy and admiration in their eyes. There are many students in the class who are learning shooting, but most of them are unwilling to practice with such a long gun. Every inch is stronger. But the longer the gun is, the harder it is to control.
Weapons require one to immerse oneself in practice for a lifetime, and the best one is the one that suits oneself. "First in skills! Brother Yuan scored 356 points in the martial arts skills test at the end of his sophomore year, the only one in the grade who scored over 350 points." Zhou Qi said with a grin, "Even Class Xu said that Brother Yuan's spear skills are very solid." Many students couldn't help but nodded. Without any extra spiritual points and his physical fitness is not the best, how can Li Yuan's martial arts performance be among the top 30 in the grade? It was because his marksmanship skills far surpassed those of his peers. In the individual subject of martial arts skills, Li Yuan is recognized as the top student in the grade. soon. Xu Bo, a burly man, walked back into the classroom casually carrying a long stick. His gaze lingered on Li Yuan for a while longer. "For the test, I will follow the college entrance examination standards." "Take it seriously and treat every test as the college entrance examination. When the actual college entrance examination comes, it will just be a test." Xu Bo said in a low voice, holding a long stick, very serious. "According to the student number, one by one in reverse order." "Number 112, Zhou Qi." (End of this chapter)
