《I Am Not The Machine King》 Chapter 1: Lin Yuan Chapter 1: Lin Yuan The red clouds filled the sky as the sun rose slowly from sea level. The morning glow gradually illuminated Qingshan City at six o''clock in the morning. In a courtyard in the vi area of Qingshan City, a young man with ck hair was bare-chested. He mobilized all the muscles in his body and kept punching forward. With each punch he punched, his right fist would turn into a fist of steel with a ck glow. When he withdrew it, he would return to his normal bare-handed state. "999!" "1,000!" "Phew..." "Mechanical-type, interesting..." Afterpleting his morning training day after day, Lin Yuan picked up a towel to wipe his sweaty face and muttered to himself. Then, he stretched his muscles and walked into the vi. After taking a quick shower and making breakfast, Lin Yuan pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms and kicked the yellow-haired young man on the bed. "Wu Di, it''s time." Wu Di was kicked and rolled over, muttering in a daze. "Ah..." "Yes..." "Hurry up, I''ll give you five seconds." "Otherwise, I''ll post your photos with underpants on the Inte." As his best friend for more than ten years, Lin Yuan had Wu Di under his thumb. Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Wu Di jumped up from the bed with his hands on his head. Amidst his screams, one could hear his urge to strangle Lin Yuan to death. "Ah!" "Lin Yuan!" "Brother Yuan!" "Please spare me!" Lin Yuanpletely ignored Wu Di''s screams, leaving behind a cold back view. "Hurry up." "Martial arts ss at nine o''clock." "Go early." "Ah!" ... At the dining table in the vi, Lin Yuan was eating breakfast while flipping through the book, "Spirit Seeds of Martial Arts" in his hands. Strictly speaking, Lin Yuan was not entirely a person of this world. Amyotrophicteral sclerosis, also known as ALS, was one of the five fatal diseases. In his previous life, when he was twenty-one years old, he had died of ALS. When he woke up, he had already arrived at the level-one civilization of Cann Star. This was a world where the spirit of martial arts was prevalent. For Lin Yuan, who had died once, he naturally cherished this chance to be reborn. In fact, back on the original earth, scientists had already defined level one civilization. It was defined as being able to control the natural energy on the. To put it inyman terms, it was spirit energy. The first sentence of the general principles of martial arts formted by the Tianshui Kingdom was, "There is a breath between heaven and earth. This breath is spirit energy, filling the space between heaven and earth." ... After Wu Di washed up, he sat on his seat in a daze and picked up the breakfast that Lin Yuan had prepared and chewed it mechanically. As he ate, he slowly leaned on the table like a corpse. Lin Yuan flipped through a page of the book and said without looking up, "Jiang Yining will be attending the martial arts ss today." "What?" "Where did you hear that?" When Wu Di heard the name Jiang Yining, he instantly perked up and his eyes shone. Lin Yuan continued to flip through the book and said, "While you were still wailing, she had already arrived at the dojo." "F*ck, why didn''t you say so earlier? Hurry up!" Jiang Yining was the school belle of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. She came from the martial arts aristocratic family of Qingshan City, the Jiang family. She had a strong background and her martial arts talent was outstanding. She was the favored daughter of the heavens, so she naturally had countless suitors. "Lin Yuan..." "Brother Yuan." "If you have something to say, just say it." Wu Di chuckled and moved closer to Lin Yuan. He patted Lin Yuan''s back like he was his own brother. "Give me a chance today." "We are brothers." "Isn''t that right?" The entire day was filled with basic martial arts lessons. Although Lin Yuan''s spirit seed talent was terrible, the only fire-type spirit seed that he had awakened was a useless me seed. However, in terms of basic martial arts that did not use spirit energy, no one dared to im that he was number one when Lin Yuan was imed to be the number two in Diyi Middle School. Jiang Yining hade to take a basic martial arts lesson three months ago and sparred with Lin Yuan. During that time, Jiang Yining and Lin Yuan had almost spent the whole day interacting, which made Wu Di, who was standing at the side, drool with envy. Lin Yuan closed the book, smiled slightly, and removed Wu Di''s hand from his body. "Why don''t I let her spar with you and give you a beating?" Wu Di held his chin and thought carefully. It seemed like a good idea. Then, he looked at Lin Yuan and nodded excitedly. "Sure!" Lin Yuan frowned and looked at Wu Di as if he was looking at a pervert. He cursed angrily, "F*ck, stop it!" "Hurry up and change your clothes. We''re going out." Looking at Lin Yuan''s retreating figure, Wu Di shouted, "Brother Yuan! Brother Yuan!" "We had a deal!" ... In Wu Di''s eyes, Lin Yuan was a person who he would never understand. He had grown up with Lin Yuan since he was young. When he awakened, Lin Yuan had awakened a weak fire-type spirit seed, and his talent was terrible but he had practiced the basic martial arts for more than three years without missing a day. He was known as a "weirdo" in the entire Diyi Middle School of Qingshan City. What puzzled Wu Di even more was that Lin Yuan''s family environment had not affected him at all. Instead, it had be his motivation. Wu Di asked himself, if he were him, he would have copsed a long time ago. Lin Yuan''s mother had died in a car ident when Lin Yuan was young. When his father remarried, Lin Yuan lived with his father and stepmother. In this reorganized family, Lin Yuan''s position was very awkward. Lin Yuan''s stepmother had a strong personality and did not particrly like Lin Yuan. Coincidentally, when Lin Yuan grew up, his half-brother was born, so Lin Yuan waspletely ignored. To outsiders, Lin Yuan was indeed a little pitiful, but in reality, Lin Yuan did not have any emotions in his heart. After entering middle school, Lin Yuan moved out of his home. At first, he lived in the dormitory. Later, he moved out of the school with Wu Di. Of course, with Lin Yuan''s family background, he could not live in such an expensive vi area. Wu Di''s father, Wu Dafu, was a standard "nouveau riche". He had a big belly but was generous. When he was young, he was more farsighted. He seized the opportunity and started investing in real estate. Wu Di was the typical second-generation rich kid. However, a normal family like Wu Di''s did not have a particrly high status in this world where martial arts thrived and martial arts were respected. Coincidentally, Wu Di had top-notch martial arts talent, so Wu Dafu was eager to change his family style from Wu Di''s generation. Unfortunately, Wu Di was very yful, just like his father back then. He only cultivated three days a week, causing Wu Dafu a lot of trouble. In the end, Wu Dafu realized that only Lin Yuan could cure him, allowing him to put a little more effort into cultivation. Hence, he kicked Wu Di out of the house and let Wu Di and Lin Yuan live outside together. Lin Yuan had been mature and steady since young. He was calm and wise, and his IQ and EQ far surpassed his peers. He had a good rtionship with Wu Di, so Wu Dafu simply treated Lin Yuan as his godson. Lin Yuan hesitated before moving into the vi with Wu Di. After all, he was suspected of treating Wu Dafu as a sugar daddy. However, under the persuasion of Wu Di and Wu Dafu, Lin Yuan still chose to ept their good intentions. The main reason was that there was not enough space for Lin Yuan to cultivate in the school dormitory. And just as Uncle Wu said, if he really made a name for himself in the future, it would not be toote to repay him. It was not that easy to be a real martial artist. If one did not consume arge amount of grain and meat to replenish energy during the growth period of the body, it would affect the future of martial arts. There was bound to be some investment in bing a martial artist. Even if one did not use spiritual liquid or pills to speed up the cultivation of spirit energy, the starting point of a martial arts aristocratic family or a wealthy family was much higher than that of an ordinary family. For Wu Dafu, it was naturally impossible to provide Lin Yuan with expensive cultivation resources. However, giving Lin Yuan a ce to live, plus a bowl and chopsticks, was not a big problem. Wu Di lived alone or with Lin Yuan was no different. Most importantly, ever since Wu Dafu kicked Wu Di out of the house, Wu Dafu felt that his home was extremely quiet! ... Every middle school would set up a number of dojos in school. Anyone with martial aspirations could apply for the martial arts course. The ratio of arts and martial arts in middle schools was usually around 50-50. When Lin Yuan and Wu Di arrived at the school''s dojo, there were already quite a number of young men and women in the dojo training against the rubber mannequins. Punches and kicksnded on the mannequins, and sounds could be heard continuously. As soon as they entered the school, a few polite juniors greeted Lin Yuan warmly when they saw him. "Senior Lin!" "Hello, Senior Lin." "Yes." Chapter 2: Basic Martial Arts Chapter 2: Basic Martial Arts The name Lin Yuan was well-known in Qingshan Diyi Middle School. He was a weirdo that even the principal couldn''t handle. His liberal arts results were exceptionally good. He had broken and improved the history records of Qingshan Diyi Middle School''s 10th grade, 11th grade, and 12th grade. He was a genius among geniuses. He was in the 13th grade of middle school, thest year of middle school. He had scored almost full marks in the joint examst month. He was such a rare genius, yet he was determined to take the martial arts exam. The school officials rolled their eyes and almost fainted. No matter how good Lin Yuan''s liberal arts results were, the results of his martial arts were terrible. He had a fire-type spirit seed. After a few years of cultivation, his spirit energy was only 41. He was an intermediate-level level two martial artist. Even many juniors in 10th grade and 11th grade were stronger than Lin Yuan. However, Lin Yuan worked harder than anyone else and trained his Basic Martial Arts to the extreme. If he continued to develop like this, he would at most be a teacher of Basic Martial Arts. His bright future was far inferior to that of the liberal arts. ... Countless gazes in the dojo were firmly locked onto the beautiful figure in the center of the dojo. Jiang Yining kept raising her legs to attack the dummy in front of her. Her ponytail was tied high. She was pure and natural, without any makeup. To be able to be the favored girl of the heavens and the goddess in the hearts of thousands of young men could not be separated from Jiang Yining''s powerful strength. It was said that she had already opened all twelve meridians half a year ago and advanced to a level three martial artist. As Lin Yuan warmed up, the number of people in the dojo gradually increased. Even some students who did not usuallye to the Basic Martial Arts ss came to join in the fun and look at the goddess from afar. Most of the teenagers were still self-aware. They were people from two worlds. Even if Jiang Yining stood in front of them, they would still tremble, let alone pursue her. "Phew." "After more than three years, I can finally start cultivating." Sensing the strength of his bones after more than three years of cultivating, Lin Yuan was relieved. Fortunately, there was still half a year before the College Entrance Exam. If everything went smoothly, half a year should be enough. The first four stages of martial arts were actually the four processes of awakening a spirit seed, opening the meridians, tempering the body, and refining the soul. In the Tianshui Kingdom, they would directly call them a level one martial artist or a level two martial artist. At the moment, Lin Yuan and Wu Di were only level two martial artists when they were opening their veins. Almost all the young men and women in this world would awaken their spirit seeds when they were 12 to 14 years old. This spirit seed represented the different attributes that a martial artist cultivated. For example, if the spirit seed was blue, it would be a water-type martial artist. If it was brown, one would be an earth-type martial artist. If it was red, he would be a fire-type martial artist. The spirit seed attribute was various, for example, different colors would represent different spirit seed qualities of the same spirit seed. For example, the ordinary "purple fire" and "phoenix purple fire" would have a far differentbat power. This was often called a "gift". The reason why Lin Yuan was said to be extremely untalented was that the faint light of the fire-type spirit seed in Lin Yuan''s body appeared somewhat white. From the color of the fire-type spirit seed when it was awakened, it looked a little simr to the "nineherworld Yin me". Unfortunately, the spirit energy released was very different. It was confirmed that it was not the nineherworld Yin me. It was most likely an unrecorded fire-type spirit seed. There were about 30,000 types of fire-type spirit seed recorded in the Martial Arts Outline. Naturally, many unknown fire-type spirit seeds were not recorded. Basically, it was judged by the fullness and quality of the spirit seed. Normally, spirit seeds would gradually take root and germinate in the body of a martial artist as they cultivated. However, Lin Yuan''s white me did not make any movements no matter how much he cultivated, causing the growth of Lin Yuan''s spirit energy to be extremely slow. Up until this moment, if Lin Yuan wasn''t persistent, he must have been forced to give up on cultivating this "white me seed". "Fortunately, I still have this." Lin Yuan sighed slightly and circted his spirit energy. At this moment, two spirit seeds were flickering in his body. One was red with a tinge of white, appearing sickly. The other was a plump silver-gray! Twin spirit seeds were actually not rare in this world. Even Wu Di had fire-type and lightning-type twin spirit seeds, there were also martial artists with three spirit seeds and four spirit seeds. But it did not mean that the more spirit seeds there were, the better one''s talent would be because the quality of the spirit seeds was different. If all four of someone''s spirit seeds were trash, they would definitely not be better than a good spirit seed. For example, many martial artists with twin spirit seeds would choose to cultivate one of them. For example, the fire-type spirit seed in Wu Di''s body was far less powerful than his lightning-type spirit seed. Therefore, Wu Di focused on cultivating the lightning-type spirit seed and gave up on the fire-type spirit seed. Ny-nine percent of the martial artists would do the same. Lin Yuan''s silver-gray spirit seed was an extremely rare mechanical-type spirit seed! This spirit seed was very rare in the Tianshui Kingdom. Of course, different types of spirit seeds could not bepared horizontally; They were just rare. Therefore, Lin Yuan could not even find a teacher in Qingshan City. After flipping through a lot of information, he finally found a suitable cultivation method. That was the reason Lin Yuan''s spirit energy had improved so slowly over the past three years. Mechanical-type martial artists were different from other elements. To a certain extent, they were simr to steel-type martial artists. If one''s physical strength didn''t meet the standard, the mechanical-type martial artists wouldn''t be able to withstand the pressure of the mechanical-type martial artists'' spirit energy on their bones, flesh, and meridians. That was why Lin Yuan practiced Basic Martial Arts diligently every day to improve his physical strength. Until a few days ago, Lin Yuan''s physical strength finally met the entry requirements of a mechanical-type martial artist. He used the money he had saved over the years to buy two mechanical-type basic spirit skills and practiced them for a few days. The effect was unexpectedly good. "I''ll be busy for the next half a year." Lin Yuan thought to himself. Lin Yuan did not tell the second person about the second spirit seed in his body. Even Wu Di did not know about it. First of all, it was not a secret to Lin Yuan. It was not the kind of spirit seed that would attract the attention of the whole world if it was revealed. On the contrary, in the real world, especially after entering the martial arts academy, the stronger one''s talent was, the more attention and resources one would receive. The reason Lin Yuan did not announce it was very simple. Middle school couldn''t provide resources. It could only be determined by one''s background. Middle school wasn''t as rich as the martial arts academy, so they couldn''t provide expensive cultivation resources. On the other hand, Wu Di had never taken the initiative to talk to Lin Yuan about the spirit seed. Wu Di knew very well that Lin Yuan''s spirit seed talent wasn''t good, and he saw how hard Lin Yuan worked. As a brother, how could he expose Lin Yuan''s scars? ... It was nine o''clock. Elder Yang, who was in charge of the Basic Martial Arts ss of Qingshan Diyi Middle School, arrived at the dojo on time. Seeing Elder Yang''s arrival, everyone''s gradually stopped warming up. Elder Yang was a real level four martial artist. He was over a hundred years old, but he was still full of energy and full of vigor. "Come, you, you, you, and you." "Four of you, perform one set of basic fist techniques." Basic Martial Arts were the foundation ofbat. If one practiced martial arts, they would have a martial arts ss in 10th grade. Some martial arts aristocratic families would even let their children practice their steps, fist techniques, and leg techniques. Combining these Basic Martial Arts with spirit energy and spirit skills, these were the foundation of a martial artist. After Elder Yang called the three men and one woman in the front row, whispers immediately sounded. "So handsome." "Senior Pei is too handsome." "He''s Pei Xi?" ... Lin Yuan was just focused on warming up and thinking, so he didn''t notice that so many people hade to the dojo. The moment he saw the genius martial artist of the same year, Pei Xi, being called up, Lin Yuan subconsciously nced at Wu Di. Sure enough, Wu Di showed an expression of seeing his enemy. When love rivals met, their eyes were especially red. Pei Xi and Jiang Yining were geniuses ranked in the top five of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. He also came from a martial arts aristocratic family. Not to mention his looks, just the fact that Wu Di mentioned that he was ranked 124th on the list of handsome men in middle school, Pei Xi ranked third. He was only slightly inferior to Lin Yuan, who ranked second. Whether it was in terms of talent, strength, looks, family background, or temperament, Pei Xi was ahead of Wu Di in all aspects. Wu Di waspletely defeated. Lin Yuan sighed silently. ... Pei Xi had always been brimming with a confident and warm smile, and the group of junior sisters couldn''t even control the speed of their hearts. Any martial artist was no stranger to basic fist techniques. Although it was Pei Xi''s first time attending a Basic Martial Arts ss, the Basic Martial Arts of martial arts aristocratic families were generally not bad. Thus, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Pei Xi confidently began to practice the basic fist techniques! In an instant, the dojo was filled with a vigorous atmosphere. It was Lin Yuan''s first time seeing Pei Xi perform the basic fist techniques. He kept observing the details of Pei Xi''s fist techniques andmented, "It''s very good." There were a few minor ws, such as the center of gravity of the punch was not that stable. However, it was still better than 99% of the middle school martial artists. "What a pity." Lin Yuan''s eyes were extremely sharp. Pei Xi''s punches were only halfway through and he already knew that there would be a good show to watch. After finishing the set of punches, Pei Xi slowly stood still. The apuse of a few fangirls could still be heard from below. Pei Xi naturally revealed a calm and confident expression. Unfortunately, the next second, Pei Xi''s smile froze on his face. Elder Yang''s cold voice rang out in the center of the dojo. "Are you here for ss?" The entire dojo fell silent in that instant. One could even hear the sound of swallowing saliva. "As expected." Lin Yuan thought to himself. Wu Di, who was not far away, was stunned at first. Then, he instantly understood why Elder Yang was so angry and almostughed out loud on the spot. Although he waszy, he had not missed a single day of martial arts lessons over the past three years because of Lin Yuan. He was too familiar with Elder Yang. When he was practicing his fist techniques, no matter how bad his fist techniques were, Elder Yang would not get angry. The only thing that could make Elder Yang angry was that his mind was not on his fist techniques when he was practicing! When he was in his first year of middle school, Elder Yang had scolded Wu Di for being absent-minded. Those who attended Elder Yang''s sses often heard Elder Yang say, "You have to be in awe of Basic Martial Arts in order to improve." Pei Xi''s fist techniques were not bad, but when he fought, it was as if he was performing. From the corner of his eye, he would asionally nce at Jiang Yining. Wasn''t he asking for a scolding? "If you''re not here for the ss." "Get out of here as soon as possible!" While Pei Xi was still in a daze, Elder Yang''s furious roar could be heard. At this moment, the anger and shame in Pei Xi''s heart continued to intertwine. His expression kept changing, and the warm expression on his facepletely disappeared. Wu Di was so excited that he kept trembling. He enjoyed watching it! After a few seconds of adjustment, Pei Xi finally suppressed the negative emotions in his heart. He bowed politely and said, "I''m sorry, Elder Yang." "It won''t happen again." Elder Yang did not respond and directly ignored him. He continued to guide the three martial artists behind him. "This female student doesn''t have enough strength to punch. Look at me." "Left bow step, left hand to hug right hand horizontally, back to your waist, cupped fist, and punch your right fist." "The strength of this punch doesn''te from the waist." ... Pei Xi took a deep breath and returned to the team while maintaining his rationality. The veins on his temples gradually disappeared. He didn''t dare to get angry at all, and he had no reason to get angry. Pei Xi looked at Jiang Yining, but Jiang Yining didn''t look at him at all. Pei Xi only saw Wu Di''s gloating eyes and slowly clenched his fists. "Lin Yuan,e up and demonstrate." "Yes." After half an hour, Elder Yang finished the detailed instructions and called Lin Yuan up. Lin Yuan slowly walked to the center of the dojo. His footsteps were heavy, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. His entire temperament had changed! "Try to observe Lin Yuan''s every move." "Let''s begin." Elder Yang nodded slightly at Lin Yuan. When Lin Yuan punched, he became the focus of everyone''s attention! Even Jiang Yining stared at Lin Yuan. "Perfect." Looking at the strength and position of Lin Yuan''s punches, Elder Yang smiled even more and nodded continuously. A perfect basic fist technique was to gather 100% of one''s strength. Even someone as picky as Elder Yang could not find a single w in Lin Yuan''s fist technique. "Sigh." Many students sighed softly. Every time Lin Yuan demonstrated Basic Martial Arts, whether it was the fist technique or leg technique, they felt as if he was glowing. It was a pity that the heavens were jealous of geniuses. His spirit seed''s talent was so poor. Otherwise, he would definitely be a favored son of the heavens. Under Elder Yang''s constant exnation, the morning passed quickly. Elder Yang would note to the afternoonbat ss. Thebat experience was something that the teacher could not teach, and one could onlyprehend it by himself through constantbat. Chapter 3: A Lesson Chapter 3: A Lesson At noon, in the cafeteria of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. Six people were sitting at the dining table at the corner of the third floor. Besides Lin Yuan and Wu Di, there were two boys and two girls. They were friends at school. They didn''te to the Basic Martial Arts lesson in the morning. The martial arts lesson at school was rtively flexible. They came whenever they wanted. "Old Fang!" "You didn''t see it! Pei Xi''s expression at that time was... Hahahaha!" Wu Di patted Fang Zixin''s shoulder andughed for twenty minutes. When Fang Zixin heard that he had missed such a famous scene, he beat his chest and kept asking Wu Di about the details. Among these people, Wu Di and Fang Zixin disliked Pei Xi the most. The Pei family and the Fang family were both second-rate martial arts aristocratic families in Qingshan City. There had been a lot ofpetition since they were young. When Fang Zixin heard that Pei Xi was defeated, he was naturally extremely excited. He had to go back and promote this matter to his family. "Lin Yuan, are you going to spar with Jiang Yining this afternoon?" Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes, are you alling?" When the martial arts ss ended in the morning, Jiang Yining went to look for Lin Yuan and arranged to spar with him at the dojo in the afternoon. A few friends around them nodded and said, "That''s for sure. I wonder if Pei Xi will have the guts toe in the afternoon. Hehehe..." "He shoulde. If I get scolded in the morning and don''te in the afternoon to regain my status, wouldn''t that be too embarrassing?" "That''s true." "Wu Di, be careful in the afternoon. Pei Xi is probably going to pick a fight with you in the afternoon." Wu Di snorted coldly. "Hey, who''s afraid of him? It''s just Basic Martial Arts." "At least I''ve been practicing hard with Lin Yuan for three years." ... In the afternoon, there were even more students in the dojo than in the morning. Many of them came to watch Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining spar. Both of their Basic Martial Arts were top-notch. From the perspective of martial arts, the fight between the two of them would definitely benefit the bystanders. Every time Lin Yuan sparred with someone, there would be many juniors watching and learning. It was the same this time. They had already formed arge circle before the fight even started. In the center of the arena, Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining had already stood still. The only rule of Basic Martial Arts sparring was that spirit energy could not be used. "Let''s begin," Jiang Yining took a stance and said to Lin Yuan seriously. Feeling an imposing auraing at him, Lin Yuan also turned to the side and clenched his fists, gathering his strength. To him, Jiang Yining was just an opponent. Swoosh! Jiang Yining took a step forward and charged, using the momentum to throw a punch! The explosive power of this step made all the spectators below the stage cry out in surprise. "So fast!" "This is the speed of a level three martial artist." Even in a duel of Basic Martial Arts, a level three martial artist''s spirit energy tempered their body, and their explosive power was obviously stronger than that of a level two martial artist. Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining had sparred once three months ago, so he naturally knew her strengths and weaknesses. Female martial artists usually had more than enough agility, but not enough strength. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan did not retreat but threw a punch. The two fists met, and with a loud bang, both of them took a step back! Lin Yuan was surprised. He felt Jiang Yining''s almost transformed explosive power. Sure enough, Jiang Yining found her weaknesses after thest sparring, so she focused on practicing explosive power. No matter what, the difference in strength between male and female martial artists was not so easy to erase. Even with the momentum of this punch, Jiang Yining did not gain the slightest advantage, Lin Yuan found his center of gravity one step ahead of Jiang Yining. His move was simple and direct. After a sweep of his leg, he performed ten straight punches consecutively. The shadow of the punch was like a river breaking its banks. Each punch was faster than thest! Boom boom boom... Below the stage, Fang Zixin saw this scene and looked at his girlfriend beside him. "F*ck, he just doesn''t know how to be gentle to girls..." They were not the only ones who thought so. The surrounding audience was also shocked by what they saw. Lin Yuan''s every punch was aimed at knocking Jiang Yining down. He had no intention of showing mercy to the opposite sex at all. After exchanging two punches with Lin Yuan, Jiang Yining realized that under such high-intensity pressure, she could not make a qualitative counterattack. She found an opportunity to use her agile steps to pull away. The two of them took turns to attack and retreat, but it was clear from the moment they exchanged blows, Lin Yuan had taken the initiative! Lin Yuan respected Jiang Yining very much. A female martial artist who had trained her Basic Martial Arts to such an extent would have put in as much effort as Lin Yuan. Under the passive situation, Jiang Yining was also constantly looking for an opportunity. With a sh, she brushed past Lin Yuan''s side. Using the inertia generated by the twisting of her waist and the axial leg, she threw a kick at Lin Yuan''s back! "What!" Jiang Yining''s pupils constricted. She never expected that Lin Yuan did not dodge her kick! The surrounding audience also widened their eyes. Some of the juniors even cried out in surprise. Boom! "Hmph..." Jiang Yining''s kick hit Lin Yuan''s back. Lin Yuan grunted and turned around at the same time. Jiang Yining looked at Lin Yuan in horror and knew that situation was turning bad. After throwing out this kick, she had no way to quickly retract her center of gravity. Seeing the opportunity, Lin Yuan turned around and kicked Jiang Yining''s curvaceous body! Bang! Jiang Yining''s body flew backward andnded on the ground, her blood was boiling. "Yining!" Seeing that Jiang Yining was kicked away by Lin Yuan, Pei Xi dashed up to the fighting ring. While ring at Lin Yuan, he reached out to help Jiang Yining. However, Jiang Yining threw Pei Xi''s hand away and said coldly, "Get lost." Before Pei Xi could react, Fang Zixin, who was watching the battle from the side, suddenly got excited and shouted at Pei Xi, "Pei Xi!" "You are told to get lost!" "Ahahahaha!" In this small group, Wu Di was a little afraid of Pei Xi''s background and did not dare to offend him too much. However, Fang Zixin was not afraid. He seized the opportunity to mock him. The group of juniors beside him covered their mouths and snickered, which made Pei Xi even angrier. In the noisy environment, Jiang Yining covered her ribs and slowly got up. She said to Lin Yuan, "Thank you for your guidance." "Let''s spar again when there''s a chance." Jiang Yining nodded slightly at Lin Yuan and then walked down the fighting ring. In the corner of the dojo, the two martial arts teachers also sighed, "Exchanging injuries for injuries." "Jiang Yining has learned a lot again." "It''s a pity that Lin Yuan''s spirit seed talent is too poor. Otherwise, this kind of martial arts genius would be too scary." "Yeah, some martial artists can''t even learn how to judge the situation in a lifetime." After Jiang Yining walked down the fighting ring, her younger sister, Jiang Xiaoyu, immediately came up to her and ridiculed, "Lin Yuan is too ruthless!" Jiang Yining shook her head. "He has already held back." If Lin Yuan had not held back with that kick just now, her ribs would have been fractured. In less than ten minutes, Jiang Yining had learned a lot. Lin Yuan had taught her another lesson. To put it simply, it was called "exchanging injuries for injuries.". In fact, it was an urate judgment of the opponent''s lethality in a duel. Jiang Yining''s kick just now hadpletely sent her center of gravity away. In fact, because she dodged Lin Yuan''s attack, her strength was not strong enough to knock Lin Yuan down in one hit. Lin Yuan immediately judged the situation and chose to forcefully take Jiang Yining''s kick, taking advantage of the opportunity to kill her in one hit. In a battle, the words "one hit to kill" were too important. Maybe someone took a hundred times attack to seriously injure another party, but he died after another person attacked him once. ... On the fighting ring, Lin Yuan felt pain in his back. It was still a little painful. After all, it was Jiang Yining''s solid kick. Just as Lin Yuan was about to leave, Pei Xi called out to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan." "Spar?" Chapter 4: Lin Yuan vs Pei Xi! Chapter 4: Lin Yuan vs Pei Xi! When they heard that Pei Xi was going to fight Lin Yuan, the students gathered around the arena and whispered among themselves. "Is there any enmity between Pei Xi and Lin Yuan? I don''t remember them having any interactions." "Pei Xi is standing up for Jiang Yining." "Standing up? That''s more like he is acting ostentatiously..." "He was scolded by Elder Yang this morning. I guess he''s holding back his anger and is looking for a fight." ... "You want to fight with me?" Lin Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Pei Xi, who was with a smile. Pei Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. "What? You don''t dare?" The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the dojo suddenly became tense. Lin Yuan chuckled, "Come." "Whoa, whoa, whoa...!" Hearing Lin Yuan ept the challenge, the surrounding people immediately began to mor. They were all here to watch the show. Fang Zixin immediately clenched his right fist and cheered for Lin Yuan. "Lin Yuan! Beat him up!" The dojo instantly became noisy. Everyone was discussing who would win and who would lose. Jiang Yining and Jiang Xiaoyu, who had originally wanted to leave the dojo, also looked toward the center of the arena when they heard that Lin Yuan wanted to spar with Pei Xi. A level three martial artist represented the Body Tempering Realm. Theoretically, they were much stronger than a level two martial artist when they were at the same level of Basic Martial Arts. Jiang Yining had just lost to Lin Yuan, but to arge extent, she had lost due to her strength as a female martial artist. If the strength of that kick was sufficient, the result might have been different. It was difficult to determine the oue of this duel. After all, no one had ever seen Pei Xi use Basic Martial Arts to fight with others. "Hey, Wu Di." "Could Lin Yuan win?" Although Fang Zixin shouted wildly, he was not confident in his heart. After all, Pei Xi was a real level three martial artist, and his talent was outstanding. However, when he looked at Wu Di, Wu Di''s smile was so wide that it almost reached the back of his ears. "Him?" "Even two of him can''t beat Lin Yuan." Wu Di could not help but smile when he thought of how Pei Xi would embarrass himself againter. "What do you mean?" Wu Di whispered to his brothers, who were all staring at Lin Yuan with their eyes wide open. "F*ck!" "There''s an iron bag on his waist?!" "Really?" ... Lin Yuan stretched his muscles and bones while keeping a distance from Pei Xi. In terms of Basic Martial Arts, to put it bluntly, not to mention the whole of Qingshan Diyi Middle School, none of the geniuses in Qingshan middle schools would be able to defeat Lin Yuan. Martial artists like Wu Di, Pei Xi, and Jiang Yining had to cultivate spirit energy and spirit skills besides Basic Martial Arts. Lin Yuan was different. No martial artist could spend as much time on Basic Martial Arts as he did. Since Pei Xi wanted to spar with him, he must have found the wrong person. "Let''s begin." Pei Xi smiled as he confirmed from the corner of her eye that Jiang Yining had not left yet. Then, he looked at Lin Yuan with full concentration and did not dare to be careless. Lin Yuan was not good in other areas, but he could be considered to have mastered the basics of martial arts thoroughly. The fact that he had just easily defeated Jiang Yining was enough to exin the situation. Moreover, this battle was very important to him. If he lost, it was very likely that he would be aughingstock. "Ha!" Pei Xi shouted loudly, and his speed soared. After rapidly approaching Lin Yuan, he swung his arms, and his hook-like five fingers grabbed Lin Yuan''s right arm at high speed! "Interesting." Sensing Pei Xi''s imposing manner, Lin Yuan smiled. Compared to Jiang Yining, Pei Xi''s strength was stronger. In Basic Martial Arts, without the assistance of spirit energy, speed and strength were especially important. Same punching speed with stronger strength, the impact was naturally stronger. Unfortunately, Lin Yuan was faster than Pei Xi. Lin Yuan quickly dodged to the side and his movement was smooth to the extreme. The speed of his right leg was as fast as a tornado, and it was aimed at Pei Xi''s side waist! Seeing this scene, Jiang Yining''s eyes suddenly shed. "His judgment is terrifyingly urate." This first kick was enough to give Lin Yuan an advantage on the battlefield. It was just that exaggerated. Sure enough, Pei Xi subconsciously twisted his body to dodge. However, Lin Yuan''s speed was too fast. This kick stillnded on Pei Xi''s arm. "Hmph..." Pei Xi grunted. The intense pain did not make Pei Xi stunned. Instead, it made himpletely awake. Only then did he realize how terrifying Lin Yuan, who was well-known in Basic Martial Arts, was. In such a high-frequency confrontation, once Lin Yuan took the initiative, it would be difficult for the opponent to turn the tables. From Pei Xi''s set of basic fist techniques in the morning, Lin Yuan had already seen the weakness of Pei Xi''s lower body, which was rtively unstable. Hitting would need to aim the right ce. Lin Yuan kept on kicking rapidly, which could only make Pei Xi continuously retreat and defend. "Suffocate!" The surrounding students did not even dare to breathe. They seemed to have ced themselves in Pei Xi''s position and realized that there was no space for them to counterattack. Lin Yuan continued to exchange kicks and followed up with a double flying kick! Pei Xi kept retreating and could not find an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle. "I can only fight with my feet!" As a disciple of a martial arts aristocratic family, Pei Xi was naturally not a good-for-nothing. Since he could not find an opportunity, he would create one by force! He was a level three martial artist, and Lin Yuan was a level two martial artist. In terms of physical strength, he should have the advantage. Bang bang bang bang... On the field, Pei Xi changed his speed and gave a horizontal kick, which collided with Lin Yuan''s right leg in the air! "Ah!!" In the next moment, Pei Xi''s miserable cry rang out in the dojo. Countless students showed painful expressions and even subconsciously covered their right leg. This solid kick was extremely painful to watch. "Doesn''t Lin Yuan hurt?" Countless juniors looked at Lin Yuan who kept moving as if he was a monster. The moment Pei Xi''s leg touched his leg, Lin Yuan''s pain disappeared in a sh. "Whether it''s the physical pain." "Or spiritual pain, I''ve experienced it countless times." He would never forget the tears of his parents when he was in the hospital bed. After being reborn from despair, Lin Yuan''s determination had reached a terrifying level. Swoosh! Afternding calmly, Lin Yuan pounced on his prey like a cheetah! ... Jiang Xiaoyu held her chin and watched excitedly, her cute face filled with excitement. In the blink of an eye, she saw her sister, Jiang Yining, get up and leave. "Eh?" "Sister, are you leaving?" "Aren''t you going to finish watching? It''s getting intense!" "Let''s go, it''s over." "Oh..." Seeing that Pei Xi was almost beaten up, Jiang Xiaoyu hopped up and grabbed her sister''s arm. Who would have thought that this scene would happen to fall into Pei Xi''s eyes? At this moment, the anger that Pei Xi had suppressed for the entire day suddenly exploded. Seeing Pei XI''s gaze, his good friend who was familiar with Pei Xi instantly stood up and shouted, "Pei Xi!" "Don''t!" Pei Xi, who had been the favored son of heaven since he was young, had always been favored by others. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Pei Xi''s eyes turned scarlet, and his anger hadpletely overwhelmed his rationality. As he clenched his right fist more and more tightly, shocking spirit energy was emitted from his right fist! "Lin Yuan!" "Be careful!" "Be careful!" Wu Di, Fang Zixin, and the teachers in the dojo saw that it was toote to stop this scene, and they all cried out in horror. Lin Yuan had never fought a level three martial artist before. The moment Pei Xi released his spirit energy, cold sweat dripped down from Lin Yuan''s forehead! "Go to hell!" The flow of spirit energy whizzed out from Pei Xi''s right fist and suddenly struck Lin Yuan! Chapter 5: Mechanization! Iron Fist! Chapter 5: Mechanization! Iron Fist! In this battle state, Lin Yuan immediately sensed that something was wrong! However, the distance between the two sides was too close. The most important thing was that Lin Yuan was still charging forward. Facing the surging fist, he could not retreat or dodge at all. Although Pei Xi did not pour in the attribute strength and spirit skill of his spirit seed, the full-strength punch of a level three martial artist''s spirit energy was impossible to block with Lin Yuan''s current strength. This punch at such a close distance would definitely heavily injure Lin Yuan. Thinking of this result, no matter who it was, even Pei Xi''s good friend''s face was deathly pale. If this punch were to go down, Pei Xi might not be able to bear the consequences. Some of the juniors couldn''t bear to see this scene and turned their heads away. At the critical moment, Lin Yuan mobilized his spirit energy and decisively activated the silver-gray mechanical-type spirit seed in his body. He used the only mechanical-type basic skill that he had learned! "Mechanization!" "Iron fist!" When Lin Yuan shouted in his heart, the iron in the iron bag that was tied around his waist to increase the intensity of his training was almost instantly dissolved by Lin Yuan''s spirit energy. Then, through the rapid condensation of mechanical-type spirit energy, it quickly condensed into his right fist. Half a secondter, Lin Yuan''s right fist changed from a bare fist to a real iron fist, as if it had condensed into a shining ck iron glove! Pei Xi did not react to this sudden change at all. "A fist fight?" Lin Yuan showed no mercy in the face of Pei Xi''s sudden attack. This punch was like a shooting star as it flew straight at his opponent! ng! Crack! The fists of both sides collided with each other, and spirit energy burst out. A muffled cracking sound and the sound of bones breaking on Pei Xi''s right fist came almost at the same time. "Ah!!!" In the next moment, Pei Xi''s face turned dark red, and his painful screams were heard outside the dojo. Pei Xi''s punch did not use the attribute power of the spirit seed. It was equivalent to a punchnding on Lin Yuan''s iron fist. One could imagine how painful it was! All the iron bags around his waist were removed, and Lin Yuan''s speed was even faster than before! As he was pushed back by Pei Xi, the acute spirit that had been hidden in Lin Yuan''s heart for a long time was released for the first time. Lin Yuan''s gaze was fixed on Pei Xi like a knife. His agile body quickly stabilized his body, and his right foot made perfect support on the ground as he soared into the air. His body elegantly rotated 360 degrees in the air. "Whirlwind Kick!" Boom! When Lin Yuan''s right foot hit Pei Xi''s side face, all the students in the dojo opened their mouths wide and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Before Pei Xi could recover from the pain in his right hand, his handsome left face was hit by Lin Yuan''s powerful kick. His entire body flew out and crashed heavily on the ground. Bang! At this moment, Lin Yuan''s body was emitting an aura that waspletely different from the past. It was extremely sharp. Even Wu Di was still in a daze. There was only one question in his mind. "How did he do it?" All of this happened too suddenly. The dojo was instantly silent. Everyone stared nkly at Pei Xi, who was sent flying with a kick, and the handsome youth in the center of the arena. ... "F*ck you!" Pei Xi''s handsome face was so ferocious that it was terrifying. A low growl sounded in the dojo. Clearly, he hadpletely lost his mind. At the time he released his ice-type spirit energy, the temperature in the dojo started to drop! "Pei Xi!" "Pei Xi!" "How dare you!" At this moment, Wu Di, Fang Zixin, and Lin Yuan''s pals, who were watching the battle from the side, walked up to the arena and stood in front of Lin Yuan. "Pei Xi, don''t let me look down on you." Fang Zixin sneered and immediately released his wind-type spirit energy. Wu Di also released his lightning-type spirit energy and said, "Show yourself some respect, Pei Xi." They were both level two martial artists. They had opened eleven of their twelve meridians and were only one step away from bing a level three martial artist. They would definitely be at a disadvantage in a head-on fight, but they would never be afraid in such a situation. On the other side, Pei Xi''s friends and the teachers from the dojo quickly leaped onto the field to stop Pei Xi, who was burning with anger. "Pei Xi, calm down..." "Pei Xi, forget it." ... Pei Xi finally sobered up after being stopped by the two dojo teachers. However, when he heard the whispers of countless students below the field, Pei Xi''s expression was still extremely gloomy. It was no longer as calm and warm as before. Elder Yang could not care about Pei Xi''s identity as a disciple of the aristocratic family, but it was the other way round for the two ordinary martial arts teachers. They could only try to persuade him in a soft voice. "Hmph..." Pei Xi snorted coldly and looked at Lin Yuan in the air. Sparks flew everywhere. Even though Pei Xi''s gaze was as if he wanted to swallow Lin Yuan alive, Lin Yuan only looked at him quietly. Lin Yuan could not fight with him but it did not mean that he could be bullied. "Pei Xi, let''s go." One of Pei Xi''sckeys sighed and pulled Pei Xi back. The situation had developed to this point, and it could no longer be stopped. The venue was surrounded by many people. This matter would soon spread to the aristocratic families and the schools. Pei Xi would have to bear the wrath of his father. The surrounding students made way for him. Pei Xi''s hands and feet were injured in this battle, and he was still in a sorry state when he left. After Pei Xi and his underlings left the dojo, the dojo was instantly in an uproar. They began to discuss the battle crazily. "F*ck! What''s going on?!" "How did Lin Yuan do it just now?" "I didn''t see it clearly." "I didn''t see it clearly either!" ... On one side of the field, Lin Yuan was holding his right arm, which was hurting faintly. Wu Di, Fang Zixin, and a few friends surrounded him to ask about Lin Yuan''s condition at once. "Lin Yuan, how are you?" "Are you hurt?" "I''m fine. My bones aren''t broken," Lin Yuan moved his right hand slightly and answered. If his body was not strong enough, he would have broken his hand when he exchanged a punch with Pei Xi. Fortunately, Pei Xi did not use the attribute power of the spirit seed at that time. Otherwise, the huge gap between the realm and the spirit energy could not be made up by a mechanized iron fist. "F*ck, what''s wrong with you!" "What did you do just now? How did you do that?!" After confirming that Lin Yuan was fine, the surrounding friends were relieved at first, but then they became excited. Wu Di was also dumbfounded. He had lived with Lin Yuan for so long, how could he not know that Lin Yuan had this trick? Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Let''s talk about it in detailter." At this moment, two teachers from the dojo came over to ask about Lin Yuan''s condition. After confirming that Lin Yuan was fine, they heaved a sigh of relief. They had not expected Pei Xi''s sudden outburst. Pei Xi''s identity was much more honorable than Lin Yuan''s, but the Basic Martial Arts hall had always prohibited the use of spirit energy. With so many students watching, the two teachers could not openly side him. Moreover, it was indeed Pei Xi who had made the first move. If they were to be held ountable, Pei Xi would be the first. "Lin Yuan,e with us for a moment." Chapter 6: Mechanical-type Chapter 6: Mechanical-type Lin Yuan followed the two teachers to the infirmary of the dojo. Each dojo would be equipped with a doctor. If a student was injured during training, they would be able to treat their injuries in time. "It''s not a big problem." "There''s a slight bone fracture, it will heal in five to seven days at most." "Take a few days to recuperate. Don''t exert your strength," Doctor Lu, who was in the dojo, said after using a white healing-type spirit seed to treat Lin Yuan''s injury. This injury was really nothing to a martial artist. He could recover in two to three days. This was the difference between a martial artist and an ordinary person. For the same injury, an ordinary person without spirit energy would need about a month to recover. Lin Yuan thanked him politely, "Thank you, Dr. Lu." After confirming that Lin Yuan was fine, the two teachers who brought Lin Yuan to the dojo finally heaved a sigh of relief. If Lin Yuan were seriously injured, it would be a difficult situation for them. With Pei Xi''s identity, he would at most receive some insignificant punishment. However, as the teachers on duty, the two of them definitely had to bear the responsibility. "It''s nothing." Doctor Lu waved his hand at first, then asked with interest, "But I''m quite curious." "Who could break your bones?" Because he had treated Lin Yuan''s injuries a few times, he was the best person who knew the strength of Lin Yuan''s body. He hadn''t seen anyone who could hurt Lin Yuan in Basic Martial Arts since he came to Qingshan Diyi Middle School. "Pei Xi." "Pei Xi? That makes sense..." Doctor Lu nodded. Pei Xi was a genius at the top of this year''s 13th grade, so it wasn''t hard to understand. One dojo teacher shook his head helplessly, while another teacher said with a disdainful expression, "He used spirit energy." "Sigh." As ordinary teachers, they couldn''t afford to offend Pei Xi, who was a member of the aristocratic family. They were breadwinners for their respective families. However, after witnessing the entire process, they were a little angry and helpless. "Lin Yuan, I still hope that you won''t make a big deal out of this." ... "Bang, bang, bang..." Half an hourter, the dojo had returned to its normal training state. However, the students would still excitedly talk about what had just happened and the changes in Lin Yuan during the break. Someone had secretly recorded the battle process with a cell phone and sent it to the campus website, causing a heated response. Lin Yuan had juste out of the infirmary. Wu Di, Fang Zixin, and a few friends who were having a good time quickly gathered over. "What''s the situation?" Lin Yuan shook his head and raised his hand to reply, "Nothing much." "My right hand is slightly injured. I need to rest for three to five days." Wu Di was a little indignant. "So this matter is over just like that?" If not for Lin Yuan''s special methods, Pei Xi''s punch would have seriously injured Lin Yuan. Fang Zixin sighed and shook his head, "The school will not punish Pei Xi." "Moreover, Pei Xi is the one who suffered the loss this time. At most, he will be banned from entering the Basic Martial Arts dojo. It doesn''t affect him." "There''s nothing we can do." Everyone fell silent. As a disciple of an aristocratic family, Fang Zixin knew the importance of each aristocratic family to the middle school. To put it bluntly, the school begged these geniuses from the aristocratic families to go to school. Only these geniuses from aristocratic families would be able to enter the top schools and be top-notch experts. When they became famous, who would care about such trivial matters in middle school? Hearing Fang Zixin''s words, some of the brothers around him said worriedly, "Will Pei Xi cause trouble for Lin Yuan?" Fang Zixin shook his head. "No, he can''t afford to lose more respect." "Don''t worry, the Pei family will definitely teach him a good lesson." "Just wait for the show." The more aristocratic a family was, the more they cared about their reputation. Pei Xi had lost a lot of respect this time. Fang Zixin did not believe that the Pei family would not make a move. "Ah, Lin Yuan." "How did you do that just now?" "Look at that spirit energy. Is it your second spirit seed?" Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes, my second spirit seed, the mechanical-type. It''s quite rare." As soon as he said that, the surrounding friends all looked at Lin Yuan in shock. This was the first time they knew that Lin Yuan actually had a second spirit seed, and it was a silver-gray mechanical-type spirit seed! This spirit seed was rarely seen. They had only seen its name once or twice in their textbooks, let alone mechanical-type martial artists. Fang Zixin immediately pped Lin Yuan excitedly. "D*mn, you hid it deep enough!" "You didn''t even tell us. Isn''t you too much of a brother?" A friend at the side asked curiously, "What kind of spirit seed is a mechanical-type spirit seed?" Fang Zixin quickly waved his hand and said to his friends, "Let''s talk about itter." "I''ll treat you guys to dinner tonight at Jia Long Banquet!" After knowing that Lin Yuan''s injuries were not serious, Fang Zixin''s mood could only be described as sunny and beautiful on that day. Seeing Pei Xi being beaten up so badly and losing all his face, he had to celebrate. ... Night fell. The bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars filled the sky. In Lin Yuan''s clean and tidy bedroom, Wu Di''s face was livid. He was no longer as noisy as before. He suppressed his anger and looked at Lin Yuan. "Lin Yuan, aren''t you going too far?" "You even hid it from me?" Wu Di''s expression had not been very good when they were having dinner together just now. They had been brothers for more than ten years. They had yed together since they were young. He did not even know anything about Lin Yuan''s mechanical-type spirit seed. Who would not be angry? Lin Yuan was a little embarrassed. "I didn''t mean to hide it from you." "Mainly, you never asked..." "I apologize, okay?." Wu Di snorted and cursed, "F*ck, I was afraid of hurting your heart." "Can''t you open your mouth?" "You even hid your training?" Lin Yuan immediately became more confident. "In all honesty, I just tried to practice this mechanical-type spirit skill a few days ago." "Just the training was faster." This basic mechanical-type spirit skill was basic mechanization, and it had many forms. What Lin Yuan could do at this moment was to dissolve the metal machinery that he carried or the metal machinery around him, and then transform it into mechanical power that instantly condensed. Its effect was probably the result of his battle with Pei Xi. It was quite practical. "Forget it, forget it." Wu Di waved his hand. He knew that Lin Yuan was very grateful to his father for taking care of him all this time. So, he did not want to give them any more trouble. Perhaps it was one of the reasons. Brothers always understood each other. Moreover, without Lin Yuan, Wu Di would be in no ce to be found. Wu Di scratched his flowing yellow hair and said to Lin Yuan, "There''s still half a year before the College Entrance Exam. There''s still time." "But I haven''t heard much about your mechanical-type spirit seed." "I just checked the five colleges, but I don''t think there are any mechanical-type tutors." "Where are you going to take the exam?" Lin Yuan had long known about this kind of information. He smiled and replied, "Tianshui Military Academy." Tianshui Military Academy? When these four words came out of Lin Yuan''s mouth, Wu Di was alreadypletely stunned on the spot. In the next second, his voice suddenly increased by an octave. "What?" "You want to be a soldier?!" Chapter 7: Tianshui Military Academy Chapter 7: Tianshui Military Academy "Are you serious?" Wu Di gawked at Lin Yuan. Based on his understanding of Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan''s expression did not seem like he was joking. Lin Yuan smiled. "I''m serious." Wu Di spread his hands in confusion. "Why?" Tianshui Military Academy had the highest mortality rate among all the martial arts academies. Moreover, the requirements for a military academy were not low. Good results were required for both liberal arts and martial arts. Upon hearing Wu Di''s words, Lin Yuan extended three fingers. "Three reasons." "The first reason is resources." As soon as the word "resources" was mentioned, Wu Di was stunned on the spot. It was obvious that he had figured out some of the reasons. Tianshui Military Academy was established by the National Military Ministry of Tianshui Kingdom. Initially, the recruitment was conducted within the martial arts academies. Decades ago, it directly evolved into a military academy. It recruited middle school students around the age of 18 to expand the national military force, and train warriors. Most importantly, the state provided resources to train them. It was different from top-notch martial arts academies. Even if a martial artist from an average family entered a top-notch martial arts academy, if he did not have top-notch talent, he might be drowned in thepetition for geniuses because of the scarcity of resources. Therefore, the military academy was a very normal choice for Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan stretched out his second finger and said, "Second, my mechanical-type spirit seed." "I''ve already checked. Only Tianshui Military Academy has a strong mechanical-type expert." Wu Di was even more silent. This was indeed a very real factor. Lin Yuan''s mechanical-type spirit seed was really too rare. At least, he had never heard of any expert from those martial arts academies who was a mechanical-type martial artist. Without the guidance of a teacher of the spirit seed, Lin Yuan''s future development was quite limited. "Third." Lin Yuan stretched out his third finger and shrugged. "I want to go!" At this moment, Wu Di suddenly felt that Lin Yuan''s body seemed to be emitting a radiance. Every citizen of the Tianshui Kingdom was full of respect for the soldiers on the frontlines. It was because of their silent dedication and selfless action that the days of the Tianshui Kingdom were peaceful. "Is this Lin Yuan''s ideal?" "Lin Yuan has been training hard to protect the families and defend the country?" ... "Hey, what''s wrong with you?" Lin Yuan looked at Wu Di, whose eyes were slightly red, and waved his hand in front of him. He didn''t know what this guy was thinking. Lin Yuan had the idea of enrolling in a military academy a long time ago. When he was terminally ill, his mother often told him stories about his father in the military camp when she took care of him in front of the hospital bed. asionally, his father''srades woulde to visit him. The special friendship betweenrades was something that Lin Yuan yearned for very much at that time. Even if there was no such thing as a mechanical-type spirit seed, there was a high chance that Lin Yuan would still choose the military academy. "Ah..." Wu Di came back to his senses and asked, "Are you sure?" Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes." Wu Di sat down on Lin Yuan''s bed and facepalmed. "F*ck..." There was too much information on that day. First, he was shocked when he found out that Lin Yuan had a rare mechanical-type spirit seed. Then, he was shocked when he found out that Lin Yuan wanted to apply for admission to a military academy. He needed time to digest this. However, it was indeed amon choice for amoner to be admitted to a military academy. After Lin Yuan moved out of his home, he had much less contact with his family. The rtionship between them was already rtively weak, but it was even weaker during this period. They did not even send each other messages. Therefore, even if his father did not agree, it would not affect Lin Yuan. "Why don''t we go together?" Lin Yuan sat in front of theputer table and invited Wu Di with a smile. Wu Di immediately said with a righteous tone, "Brother Yuan, I really want to go to the military academy with you." "But you know how much my father loves his son. He will definitely not agree." "What a pity." Lin Yuan looked at Wu Di''s regretful look and was indeed a little amused. He chuckled and said, "That may not be the case." "I think Uncle Wu really wants to throw you into the military camp." Just now, Wu Di did have the thought of entering the military academy but it was forcefully extinguished in an instant. The training intensity in the military camp was definitely much more terrifying than the martial arts academy. Wu Di shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No, no, no, no..." "My dad really loves me." At this point, Wu Di immediately got up and left. Lin Yuan was really good at brainwashing! Every time Wu Di cked off on his training, Lin Yuan would crazily give him chicken soup. He was afraid that if they continued chatting, his blood would boil in just a few words. Wu Di had to nip this idea in the bud. ... "Ha..." Seeing Wu Di leave, Lin Yuan chuckled, picked up his clean clothes, and walked to the bathroom. He did not really want to take Wu Di to the military academy. The military academy respected one''s will. After all, studying in the military academy was not absolutely safe. If something happened to Wu Di, Lin Yuan would not be able to bear the responsibility. He would not know how to face Uncle Wu. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The cold water continuously washed over Lin Yuan''s strong body. Lin Yuan was also thinking about his n for the next half a year. "If I can break through ten meridians, I should be able to enter the military academy." A level two martial artist was also known as the "Meridian Opening Realm." The total amount of spirit energy was around 11 to 100. A human body had twelve basic meridians. Only by opening these twelve basic meridians could one be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation. The starting point of recruitment for the five top martial arts academies in the Tianshui Kingdom was a level three martial artist, which was also the Body Tempering Realm. The requirements of the military academy were slightly lower, roughly a level two martial artist with ten meridians. As long as the performance was not too bad, there should not be too much of a problem. After all, the Tianshui Military Academy recruited a lot of people. "Unfortunately, my foundation is too poor." "I don''t know if I can make it in time." Lin Yuan was a little worried himself. He had only opened two of his twelve meridians. His starting point was very low, and his total spirit energy was only a little over forty. On the path of cultivation, if one wanted to break through, they had to meet two conditions. One was the realm, and the other was the spirit energy. For example, if one wanted to break through from a level two to a level three martial artist, opening all twelve meridians was necessary. Another necessary condition was the total amount of spirit energy. The total amount of spirit energy was measured in units of spirit. The spirit energy of a level 1 martial artist was from 1 to 10 points; Level 2 martial artist was between 11 and 100 points; Level 3 martial artist was from 101 to 1,000 points, and so on. In other words, only when all twelve meridians were opened and the total amount of spirit energy exceeded 100 points could Lin Yuan break through. The stronger the spirit energy, the higher the sess rate of breaking through. Wu Di''s current spirit energy was about 140 points, but he had merely opened 11 meridians. Just like Fang Zixin, they were stuck at the bottleneck of 12 meridians. Once they broke through the 12th meridian, they would have the qualifications to try to apply for the top five martial arts academies. However, generally speaking, with Wu Di and Fang Zixin''s level, even if they could get into the top five martial arts academies, they would still be at the bottom. After all, they had gathered the most outstanding geniuses from all the provinces and cities in the Tianshui Kingdom. ... After Lin Yuan took a shower, he dried his hair. When he returned to his room and picked up his phone, he realized that the messages on his phone had already exploded. The messages in each group were all 99+. Chapter 8: Basic Mechanization Chapter 8: Basic Mechanization After Lin Yuan beat Pei Xi up in the afternoon, the video of the fight was posted on the campus website of Qingshan Diyi Middle School, and it caused a heated response. In just a few hours, there were thousands ofments. The number ofments was increasing, and the number of views was soaring. Pei Xi and Lin Yuan were famous people in Diyi Middle School, and everyone knew about them. One was a genius from an aristocratic family, while the other was a martial arts weirdo. One was gentle and elegant, while the other was sunny and handsome. Unfortunately, after this video was exposed, gentle and elegant might be put in quotation marks. In the video, Pei Xi became angry out of embarrassment and took the initiative to use his spirit energy to attack Lin Yuan. What was even funnier was that he was defeated by Lin Yuan instead. Some of the students anonymously leftments on the campus website, mocking Pei Xi for not being a martial artist with virtue and embarrassing the disciples of aristocratic families. Other than that, there was another thing that everyone was very interested in, and that was Lin Yuan''s mechanical method. "What kind of spirit seed is Lin Yuan''s? Isn''t he fire-type spirit seed?" "I''ve checked. Although there''s only faint silver-gray spirit energy, I should be able to determine that it''s a mechanical-type spirit seed." "What kind of spirit seed is a mechanical-type spirit seed?" "Then why does Lin Yuan insist on cultivating fire-type spirit seed? Why doesn''t he cultivate mechanical-type spirit seed?" "Who knows? He''s a weirdo. Anyway, Pei Xi has lost a lot of respect this time." ... There was a sentence or two about the silver-gray mechanical-type spirit seed recorded in the textbook. However, it was not in the scope of the liberal arts exam. As long as one had the intention, it was not difficult to find out the different types of the mechanical-type. Lin Yuan turned off the campus website and looked at the messages on his phone. Many friends who were on good terms with him came to inquire about Lin Yuan''s injury. After replying to them one by one, in the small chat group of Wu Di, Fang Zixin, and the others, Fang Zixin excitedly brought a piece of good news. "Pei Xi is grounded!" Wu Di immediately replied, "Ah? What''s the situation?" Among the aristocratic families in Qingshan City, the Fang family and the Pei family were equally powerful. They had been rivals for many years, so they knew each other better. Pei Xi had lost a lot of respect. Fang Zixin heard that after Pei Xi returned home, the head of the Pei family flew into a rage and grounded Pei Xi for half a year. At the same time, he made Pei Xi focus on cultivation and prepare for the challenge in half a year. With Pei Xi''s strength as a level three martial artist, it would not be a big problem for him to get into the top five martial arts academies. However, if he wanted to shine in the top five martial arts academies, he definitely would not be able to do so with his current strength. While the few of them were chatting, Lin Yuan took out two basic mechanical skills from his drawer. He was preparing to cultivate for two hours before going to bed. Generally speaking, when he was cultivating spirit skills, it was equivalent to cultivating his spirit energy in a disguised form. However, it was not as effective as cultivating spirit energy specifically. He had found these two spirit skills on the Tianshui Martial Arts Website, so they were not expensive. One was called "Basic Mechanization", and the other was called "Mechanical Crossbow". The requirement of the spirit skill of "Mechanical Crossbow" was a total of 100 spirit energy. Lin Yuan had not yet reached this threshold, so he put it aside. The other book was more important. "Basic Mechanization" not only contained the teaching of basic spirit skills, but also many basic theories about mechanical-type, which benefited Lin Yuan a lot. When he had note into contact with these before, Lin Yuan had purely thought that mechanical-type should be rted to steel, iron, and machinery. It was simr to the armed mecha warriors. In fact, this understanding was a little narrow. "Machine" and "machinery" were two different concepts. The core of the basic theory found in "Basic Mechanization" was that "Everything can be mechanized". In the basic theory of "Mechanical-type Martial Artist", if one cultivated it to the extreme, he could bepletely mechanized with bare hands. He could even create an enchanted Gatling with his bare hands! At the moment, Lin Yuan could only dissolve the iron and condense it back into a basic shape. Complex machines often had a precise spirit energy structure. Basic steel also had a structure. "Let''s give it a try." "Phew..." Lin Yuan took a deep breath and ced an ordinary iron bar on his left hand. The mechanical-type spirit seed was instantly activated. Just like during the day, Lin Yuan controlled spirit energy to enter the iron and quickly used the basic structure of the iron to dpose it. At this stage, Lin Yuan could only obtain mechanical power from it. The iron floated in the air and was instantly dposed. "Phew..." This step was not difficult. Lin Yuan controlled the mechanical power in the air to condense together, gradually condensing into an iron sword in the air. Then, it was dposed and condensed again, condensing into an iron spear... "Simple form like this is not a problem." "But how can the sticity mentioned in the book be achieved?" Lin Yuan had a headache. At this moment, basic form change could be achieved by Lin Yuan on the second day after he learned "Basic Mechanization". However, Lin Yuan could not do the next step, which was to create the sticity of the mechanical power. Taking Lin Yuan''s mechanized iron fist as an example, what Lin Yuan could do at this moment was to fix its basic form. Lin Yuan could not change the form of the glove, which meant he could not move it. However, if he followed the sticity described in "Basic Mechanization", the mechanized glove would change ording to the changes of his hand, freely changing its form. Even if Lin Yuan had an iron glove, he could still freely fight with a weapon in his hand. "F*ck, why didn''t say it clearly?" "Is it my problem or is it an iron problem?" Lin Yuan scratched his head, feeling a little confused. This was where books were inferior to martial arts teachers. Some things could only be solved by self-learning, and it might waste a lot of time. "Would it be better to use spirit iron?" "Post it and ask." Lin Yuan got up and sat in front of theputer, logging into the Tianshui Martial Arts Website. He kept typing on the keyboard and posted a post, offering a reward of 200 points. If he had umted enough points, they could be exchanged for some cultivation resources on the Tianshui Martial Arts Website. Lin Yuan hit the "Enter" key. "What''s the difference between ordinary iron and spirit iron? Will there be any difference in sticity?" Lin Yuan muttered, "There should be a cksmith who will answer this question." Spirit iron was a type of ore. It was divided into grades one to nine. The higher the grade, the more precious and stronger it was. If it were not for the fact that spirit iron was not cheap, Lin Yuan would have bought two pieces to try it out. When cksmiths forged weapons, they often used spirit iron. ording to what Lin Yuan knew, there were quite a number of cksmiths active on the Tianshui Martial Arts Website. "Awoo..." Lin Yuan yawned and looked at the time. It was gettingte. At this moment, his group of martial artists was far from being able to use cultivation as a substitute for sleep. ... The next day, when the east was turning bright and the sun was just beginning to shine, Lin Yuan woke up early to do his daily cultivation in the morning. The n for the day should start early in the morning. The sun rose in the east. At the beginning of the day, the spirit energy in the city was the most majestic. When Lin Yuan came to the courtyard, he could not help but smile. "Yo, the sun has risen from the west?" Chapter 9: Qi Path and Weapon Path Chapter 9: Qi Path and Weapon Path "What happened to you?" "Or were you possessed by aliens?" Lin Yuan looked at Wu Di, who was already cultivating in the courtyard, with an incredulous expression on his face. It was the first time that Wu Di had woken up so early in his three years of middle school. Wu Di straightened his chest and said seriously without blushing, "I have always been very hard-working." Lin Yuan chuckled. "What exactly triggered you?" "Tell me." Lin Yuan knew Wu Di too well. If he could sit, he would never stand, and if he could lie, he would never sit. If he was hard-working as he said, with his lightning-type spirit seed, his strength would not be inferior to Pei Xi. Who knew that as soon as these words were heard, Wu Di suddenly looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears. His face trembled as he said, "Lin Yuan... My dad doesn''t love me anymore." ... The morning wind blew across the quiet courtyard, and the air suddenly became quiet. Lin Yuan, who was warming up, was also stunned. Several possibilities quickly shed through his mind, and then he carefully said, "Well..." "Your dad is going to have a second child?" "That''s great!" Wu Di cried. He shook his head and said with a sorrowful expression, "My dad wants me to go to the military academy with you." "Huh?" When Lin Yuan heard this, he looked at Wu Di in surprise. Uncle Wu wants Wu Di to go to the military academy? For a rich second generation like Wu Di, even if he didn''t walk the path of martial arts, he wouldn''t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. Wu Di was a little dejected and sat down on the grass. He raised his right hand and was about to p himself, but then he put it down resentfully. "Why is my mouth so cheap?!" "What''s going on?" Wu Di, who had nothing to live for, began to tell the story ofst night. After chatting with Lin Yuanst night, Wu Di called his father. He asked his father to help him keep an eye on the mechanical-type spirit skills on the market and see if he could get one or two for Lin Yuan. Generally speaking, these rare spirit skills were not too expensive. It was also the first time that Uncle Wu had heard of Lin Yuan''s mechanical-type spirit skill, so he chatted with Wu Di longer. Naturally, they talked about Lin Yuan''s ns for the military academy. ... "Then my father was determined to send me to the military academy!" "Tell me, am I his biological son?" Wu Di shook Lin Yuan with both hands and said miserably. However, the more Lin Yuan listened to him, the more he wanted tough. In the end, he simplyughed out loud. "So be it." "Isn''t a military academy much more interesting than a martial arts academy?" Many martial arts academies were formed into cliques. A genius with a noble status and outstanding strength would definitely have manyckeys around him. Wu Di was not a disciple of an aristocratic family, nor was he a top-notch genius who focused on martial arts. How would he live in a martial arts academy? Seeing Wu Di''s thoughtful look, Lin Yuan gradually put away his smile and said seriously, "There''s still half a year. There''s no need to make a decision so quickly." "No matter what choice you make, you have to do it yourself." Wu Di sighed silently. He did not sleep wellst night. For the first time, he had some thoughts about his future life. Lin Yuan understood Wu Di better. Wu Di waszy, but he was definitely not the kind of person who did not care about anything. "Stop thinking." "Cultivate." Lin Yuan smiled and then devoted himself to cultivating the mechanical-type spirit seed. He watched as Lin Yuan controlled the mechanical power to continuously condense into swords, spears, and sticks. Wu Di, who was short-witted, instantly threw his worries to the back of his mind and gradually became excited. "F*ck, isn''t this too awesome?" "Is this supposed to be ''Qi path'' or ''weapon path''?" This was the first time Wu Di had seen the training mode of mechanical-type. It was normal for him to feel that it was new. Lin Yuan controlled the mechanical power to change continuously as he replied, "I''m not sure either." "Let''s get into the military academy first." The "Qi path" and "weapon path" that Wu Di mentioned were two major categories of martial artists. The definition of "Qi path" was to gather Qi and use the energy attribute of the spirit seed to disy the spirit skills in battle. The definition of "weapon path" was to attach the attributes of the spirit seed to their weapons in battle. Moremonly, it was the difference between a "mage" and a "warrior". There were many sub-categories, such as doctors, pupiry masters, sound masters, talisman masters who used the spirit energy of heaven and earth to infuse ink, and so on. These were all sub-categories of the "Qi path". However, the machinal-type was a little special and could not be defined in detail for the time being. The martial arts education model of the Tianshui Kingdom was to allow martial artists to choose their direction after entering the martial arts academy. In middle school, one was toy a solid foundation, and to receive a good education, bing an adult before bing a talent. Another crucial point was that whether it was "Qi path" or "weapon path", they could not do without powerful spirit skills. These powerful spirit skills were mostly in the country, the academy, and the martial arts aristocratic families. The spirit skills that were circted on the market were rtively ordinary in general, and those with a little bit of quality were very expensive. This was also one of the important factors that opened up a gap in a martial artist''s strength. ... "I''ll take my leave first." "Ok." After cultivating in the morning, Wu Di set off to the school to study culture. Even if he went to the martial arts academy, the liberal arts score would still ount for 30% of the total score. The total score for the Tianshui College Entrance Examination was 500 points. If one were to apply for liberal arts, it would be a full score of 500 points. If one were to apply for martial arts, it would consist of a 150-point liberal arts test and a 350-point martial arts test. The special recruitment line for the martial arts test was 300 points. If one exceeded 300 points, then one could choose any martial arts academy in the Tianshui Kingdom. The rest would still depend on the overall score. Tianshui Military Academy was the only academy that had a basic requirement for both subjects. 90 points for the liberal arts and 240 points for the martial arts. Of course, the special enrollment students with 300 points for the martial arts did not need the score for liberal arts. The country most wee a talented martial artist to join the army. If Wu Di could sessfully break through to a level three martial artist within half a year, with Wu Di''s spirit seed talent evaluation, then there was a possibility of 300 points for the martial arts test. For Lin Yuan, liberal arts was not a problem, but the martial arts requirement was 240 points. It would be rather impossible if he did not break through 10 meridians. "One step at a time," Lin Yuan muttered to himself. For the next half a year, he would focus all his energy on cultivating the mechanical-type spirit seed and spirit energy. He went back to his room and opened the Tianshui Martial Arts Website. There were already a few replies tost night''s post. The most highlighted reply came from a person called "Snowke", who was certified as a "Level 3 cksmith". [Snowke]: Ordinary iron is only malleable and not stic. Spirit iron stone is stic and is the basic material for refining weapons. However, not all spirit stones have sticity. For example, ck stone and tungsten stone do not have sticity. ... "I said it wasn''t my problem!" Lin Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction and looked at thements below. They were all about the general knowledge and answers in this area. "It seems that I have to buy a few ores." "I should have enough money." After Lin Yuan gave 200 points to Snowke, he turned off theputer, put on a white coat, and went out. During the years he was in middle school, Lin Yuan did not spend much on the basic expenses of his life. All the expenses for food and amodation were paid by Uncle Wu. On the other hand, Lin Yuan''s father would send him money every month. In addition to the Liberal Arts Schrship from the school, Lin Yuan had saved up a sum of money over the past three years. He had spent nearly half of the money when he bought the two manuals of mechanical-type spirit skill. At this moment, he still had about 60,000 Tianshui coins left. It should not be a problem to buy a few ores. Chapter 10: Lin Shouyi Chapter 10: Lin Shouyi City center, World Street. This street was filled with shops of various aristocratic families in Qingshan City. The World Square in the center was a ce for leisure, dining, entertainment, and retail. The owner behind it was the first-ss aristocratic family, the Wang family in the capital of Tianshui Kingdom, Dongdu. Therefore, World Street quickly became the city center after it was established in Qingshan City. Since it was morning, there were not many customers on the street. World Street was veryrge. On both sides of the street, there were countless shops. "Iron-blood Soldier City". "Little Zhang''s Weapon-making". "Dan''s Pleasant Face". "Kendo Education Center". ... The target customers of these shops were all different. They could survive in the Tianshui Kingdom, which was prosperous in martial arts. A level two cksmith could actually open a cksmithing pavilion and customize weapons for somemon martial artists to maintain a normal life. Lin Yuan entered a small shop called "The Song Family''s cksmithing Pavilion". "Wee..." Song Yi was carefully wiping the cold weapons hanging around him. When he heard the sound of customers entering the shop, he immediately greeted them with a smile. Lin Yuan smiled politely and said, "Hello, Uncle Song." "Lin Yuan?" "Why are you here? Didn''t you go to ss today?" Song Yi was a little surprised. His son, Song Cheng, was a member of Wu Di''s small group of seven or eight. They had met a few times before. "I didn''t go today. I came to buy something." Uncle Song said enthusiastically, "Come,e,e. Don''t stand at the door. Come in and talk." "What do you want to buy? Uncle Song will help you choose." "I''ll sell it to you at the cost price." Song Cheng had always told him that Lin Yuan and the others had taken good care of him in school and they had a very good rtionship with each other. "I want to buy a few types of spirit stones." Uncle Song was slightly surprised. "Spirit stones?" "What do you want those for?" Low-grade spirit stones were the basic materials for refining weapons and were also the core materials for spirit energy bullets. Because the core energy was rtively small, it could not be directly absorbed for cultivation. High-grade spirit stones with pure energy could. Facing Uncle Song''s doubts, Lin Yuan did not know how to exin it in just a few words because even Lin Yuan himself did not understand the basic theory of mechanization. Seeing that Lin Yuan did not want to say it, Uncle Song smiled and said, "It''s okay." "Tell me what kind of spirit stones you want. I don''t have high-grade ones here, but I have low-grade spirit stones." "Come." Lin Yuan was brought to the spirit stone disy area. After looking around, he pointed at the grade one and grade two spirit stones and said, "Uncle Song, how much are these spirit stones?" Uncle Song took out the two stones from the disy cab and said, "This first-grade one is cheaper, 3,000 yuan." "The second-grade one is more expensive, 24,000 yuan." "These are the cost price." Uncle Song nced at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan carefully said, "Uncle Song, you didn''t sell it to me at a loss, right?" Lin Yuan had previously searched the price of grade-one and grade-two spirit iron ore on the Tianshui Martial Arts Website. They were 9,000 yuan and 70,000 yuan respectively. Was this business so profitable? Uncle Song shook his head and said, "No, these are the cost price." "The ores that small shops like us can get are all leftover from those big aristocratic shops. The quality is average." Uncle Song continued to pick up the grade-one spirit iron stone in his hand. "Moreover, the size of the stone will also affect the price." "The normal selling price for this piece is around 4500 yuan." Hearing Uncle Song''s exnation, Lin Yuan nodded. He really did not know about this. Uncle Song continued to exin. "For example, if we forge a spiritual iron sword, it is usually a half-spiritual weapon." "If we want to forge a real spiritual iron sword, we need a whole piece of spirit iron stone." Uncle Song gestured the size of the iron stone in front of his chest. A whole piece of spirit iron stone was very expensive. Lin Yuan looked at the spirit iron stone in front of him and thought for a while. Then he said, "Uncle Song, help me take these three grade-one spirit iron stones and one grade-two spirit iron stone." "Okay." "Thank you, Uncle Song." ... Aftering out of The Song Family''s cksmithing Pavilion, Lin Yuan carefully put the four stones in his embrace. Although he wanted to visit the cultivation shops in World Street, he was too poor and had only 20,000 yuan left. 20,000 yuan was a small amount of money for ordinary people, but it was a drop in the ocean for martial artists. "Time to go back." Every day was very important to Lin Yuan. He wanted to go back and study mechanized sticity. Just as he turned a corner, a middle-aged man and woman came out of a clothing shop at the corner of the street with a bouncing boy. Lin Yuan looked up and happened to meet them. "Lin Yuan?" "Dad?" The family of three was none other than Lin Yuan''s father, Lin Shouyi, and his stepmother, Zhao Lan. There was also Lin Yuan''s half-brother, Lin Xiaoyang. Lin Yuan had not been home much since he was in middle school. asionally, he would go out to eat with his father, Lin Shouyi, and talk about the recent situation. Therefore, Lin Xiaoyang, who was only nine years old, was very unfamiliar with this half-brother of his. He could not help but grab Lin Shouyi''s sleeve. "You didn''t go to ss today?" "Culture ss. I didn''t go." "I came here to buy something." Lin Shouyi nodded slightly. He knew that Lin Yuan''s results in the culture ss were very good, so he did not have to worry much. The most troublesome thing was that Lin Yuan yearned to apply for the martial arts course. Sincest year, Lin Shouyi had received a few calls from the school. He had never really talked to Lin Yuan about it. Then, Lin Shouyi and Zhao Lan discussed in a low voice. Zhao Lan gave Lin Shouyi a slight re, then held Lin Xiaoyang''s hand and left slowly. Seeing Zhao Lan and her son leave, Lin Shouyi smiled and said to Lin Yuan, "Let''s go, let''s have lunch together." "I have something to talk to you." ... World Square, Little Zheng''s Restaurant. "Try it." Seeing the mutton soup, Lin Shouyi asked Lin Yuan to try it. Lin Yuan took the bread and soaked it in the mutton soup. After taking a sip, the aroma filled the air. "How is it? Not bad right? The shop is new." "Okay." Compared to the lively atmosphere at the other tables, the atmosphere between Lin Yuan and his father was a little strange. It was mainly because their lives were a little divided, and they did not have manymon topics to talk about. After a moment of silence, the first to speak was Lin Shouyi. "How long until the College Entrance Exam?" Lin Yuan answered while chewing on the bread, "Less than half a year." Lin Yuan did not have a good impression of his stepmother, Zhao Lan. His father, Lin Shouyi, had a soft personality and did not have much status in the family. However, he and Lin Yuan were father and son after all, and their blood was thicker than water. Lin Shouyi nodded. "Have you thought about what school you want to take the exam for?" "Military academy." When he said the word "military academy", Lin Shouyi''s expression was obviously stunned. Lin Shouyi''s family background was not bad, but it was still amoner''s family. With his family background, he could not spend a lot of resources on Lin Yuan to learn martial arts. Lin Yuan had shown a maturity that far exceeded his peers since he was young. If Lin Yuan wanted to make a difference in martial arts, the military academy was indeed the best ce to go. "Military academy?" "The military academy requires quite a high score in the martial arts." Chapter 11: Mechanical Energy Chapter 11: Mechanical Energy Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at Lin Shouyi. They suddenly smiled at each other. After all, they were father and son. They knew each other too well. Lin Yuan knew what Lin Shouyi wanted to say. Lin Shouyi also knew that with Lin Yuan''s personality, no one would be able to shake the faith in his heart. "Okay, since you like martial arts, then just go for it." "Do your best. Don''t leave any regrets." "I''ll send you some money when I get back." "Spend it wisely." Lin Shouyi was not surprised by Lin Yuan''s martial arts dream. In this world where martial arts were respected, every young man had a dream of bing an expert. It was just that Lin Yuan''s belief was stronger than others. "Thank you, dad." Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. He knew very well that with his father''s family status, it would not be easy to give him more money. However, he really needed the money at this moment. Even buying one or two more pills might be able to change Lin Yuan''s fate. Lin Shouyi nodded and smiled. "Yes, prepare well." "I''ll wait for your good news." Lin Yuan''s mother had passed away a long time ago due to an ident, and Lin Shouyi remarried a few yearster. However, Lin Shouyi, who had a weak personality, was still unable to handle the conflict between Zhao Lan and Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan had never been as a child. Other children of his age would do whatever their parents said. However, Lin Yuan had outstanding thinking skills, and he was extremely opinionated and determined. This led to constant conflicts with his stepmother, Zhao Lan. As a father, Lin Shouyi was notpetent. The only thing he could do was to support Lin Yuan in pursuing his ideal and martial arts. He believed that Lin Yuan could make the right choice in life. ... In the courtyard. Lin Yuan''s eyes were fixed on the grade-one spirit iron stone in his hand. The feeling of holding it was a little gentler than holding an ordinary iron stone. There was no sharp feeling. "Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan finally activated the spirit seed. The mechanical-type spirit energy was released from the spirit seed and quickly gathered in Lin Yuan''s left hand along his body. As the mechanical-type spirit energy seeped into the grade-one spirit iron stone, Lin Yuan instantly realized a key point. "The structure is different!" "I see..." "This is why the theory in Basic Mechanization says that mechanical-type martial artists need a strong sense of mechanics and calcte ability." The miniature internal structure of ordinary iron, steel, and the alloy was very simple. They werepletely different from the inner structure of spirit iron. This led to the difference in the difficulty of dposing mechanical power. To give a simple analogy. Ordinary iron, after the mechanical-type spirit energy seeped into it, was equivalent to making a dposition form of "difficulty of 1+1". However, a grade-one spirit iron was equivalent to creating a "difficulty of 11+11" dposition form. Lin Yuan was fully immersed in the process of converting the spirit iron into mechanical power. Just like the first time he dposed ordinary iron, Lin Yuan used quite a bit of time. Time passed by minute by minute. It took Lin Yuan two minutes toplete the dposition of the spirit iron! After dposing, the grade-one spirit iron mechanical power seemed to linger around the mechanical-type spirit seed in his body. Lin Yuan controlled the spirit energy to rearrange it, slowly forming the basic form of knife, spear, and stick in front of him. As his proficiency increased, Lin Yuan''s speed of dposing the grade-one spirit iron gradually increased. "Still slow." Lin Yuan sighed slightly. This speed could not be used in a battle. If one spent so much time dposing the mechanical power of the spirit iron in a battle, the enemy would have prepared the grave for you. However, this was only at the beginning ofing into contact with it. As he gradually practiced and familiarized himself with it, this speed would be faster. It was the same for Lin Yuan when he first dposed the ordinary iron. The first time was 1 minute and 5 seconds. After practicing for a few days, he was able to dpose and condense it in just two seconds. Lin Yuan was not sure how good his first time was among the mechanical-type martial artists. He did not have a reference, so it felt normal. "Let''s try mechanizing iron fist." There were no problems with the basic form, so Lin Yuan focused on building the sticity of mechanical power. The "mechanical energy" of spirit iron waspletely different from the "mechanical energy" of ordinary iron. Lin Yuan already knew thebination form of the Mechanized Iron Fist in Basic Mechanization. As Lin Yuan urged it, the ck mechanical energy of spirit iron slowly condensed on Lin Yuan''s left hand. Starting from his wrist, the bones, meridians, and flesh of Lin Yuan''s left hand were instantly changed by this mechanical energy! It formed apletely mechanized left hand. It did not take too much time to regenerate the mechanical energy. The main thing was the dposition. Unlike the previous fixed form of the "boxing glove", Lin Yuan''s left hand could move a little. However, there was still a gap between the perfect form of free movement and it required a lot of practice. "I see." "Then can I fight like this in the future?" As he thought, the mechanization of his left hand suddenly disappeared. After spending another minute or so to dpose, the mechanical energy was transferred back to his right hand, and his right hand was also instantly mechanized! "Let''s try it." Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a good way to fight. He immediately made a boxing movement in the center of the courtyard. He closed his eyes and began to imagine the scene. The moment his left hand made a fist, his left hand became mechanized. Then, he took a step back and threw a right fist. The moment he threw a right fist, his right fist also became mechanized. If he could master the "Mechanized Iron Foot" in the Basic Mechanization, together with his Basic Martial Arts, Lin Yuan would definitely have extraordinarybat strength. "Oh..." Lin Yuan gradually became clear about the direction of his next cultivation. He might even be able to mechanize a part of his body with just a thoughtter on, so he should be considered to have mastered a part of the Basic Mechanization. At this moment, Lin Yuan was fumbling in the dark about everything in the mechanical-type. "Condense." Lin Yuan reached out his left hand, and the mechanical energy of the grade-one spirit iron instantly condensed into a small ck ball. This small ball was the grade-one spirit iron just now, but it was different from the original form. "What about the grade-two spirit iron?" Lin Yuan took out the only grade-two spirit iron that he bought with arge sum of money. He injected mechanical-type spirit energy into it to try to disintegrate it, but the effect was very bad this time. The speed was extremely slow, which was caused by the spirit energy. "As expected, my spirit energy is not enough." Lin Yuan thought to himself. There was a paragraph in Basic Mechanization: The mechanical-type spirit energy is proportional to the dposition speed. The stronger the spirit energy, the faster the dposition speed will be." ... The stronger his spirit energy was, the more spirit energy he could release to dpose the high-level spirit iron. Thus, the speed was naturally faster. At this moment, Lin Yuan could control the mechanical-type spirit energy, dposing the grade-two spirit iron was a little too strenuous. "I''d better practice with the grade-one spirit iron first." Lin Yuan took out the grade-one spirit iron again. For the whole afternoon, Lin Yuan kept dposing, condensing, dposing, condensing. The speed of dposing the grade-one spirit iron gradually increased. As his proficiency increased, he broke through the ten-second mark in one afternoon! Chapter 12: Breaking Two Meridians in a Row! Chapter 12: Breaking Two Meridians in a Row! At dusk, Wu Di hummed a tune as he returned to the vi. The moment he entered the door, Wu Di suddenly froze on the spot. He opened his mouth slightly and stared at Lin Yuan as if he had temporarily lost the ability to think. The scene in front of him almost shattered Wu Di''s worldview. Lin Yuan was holding a shiny silver kitchen knife, cutting his already mechanized left hand as if he was cutting vegetables. "F*ck!" "Lin Yuan, what are you doing!" Wu Di''s shout scared the cautious Lin Yuan. He raised his head and looked at Wu Di. "What''s wrong with you? Why are you so surprised?" Wu Di quickly walked to Lin Yuan''s side and saw two tes of meat buns on the table. Then, he looked at Lin Yuan in horror. "This bun..." "It can''t be..." Wu Di''s mind went crazy as he subconsciously covered his mouth. Lin Yuan''s expression was extremely cold. Then, he revealed a terrifying smile and gave him a thumbs up. "You''re so smart." ... A momentter, Wu Di sat in his seat and ate the meat buns. He said to Lin Yuan indistinctly, "You should have said it earlier!" "I was afraid that you would have something that you can''t get over." Lin Yuan looked at Wu Di and pressed his palms together. "I''m begging you." "Can you take some time to go to the hospital and have your cerebellum examined?" "See if it''s fully developed." Just now, Lin Yuan was testing the strength and pain level of the mechanized arm. This was because the mechanized arm was not coated with ayer of mechanical energy. Instead, it was mechanized from the meridians, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, skin, and bones. In other words, a mechanized arm was still a hand. Once a finger was cut off, then one''s own finger would also be broken. Just now, Lin Yuan had tried several "self-muttion" methods, such as punching the wall with his uninjured left hand. As the intensity of the mechanization of the body increased, the intensity of the pain perception decreased in an inverse ratio with an attack of the same intensity. In fact, it was very easy to understand. As for the bun filling, it was just a normal spiritual beast meat filling. Wu Di snorted and said, "Hmph, who knows what you were doing just now." "No wonder Song Cheng said that you went to his father''s shop to buy two stones today." "How''s the training effect of the mechanical-type?" Wu Di was not the only one interested in the mechanical-type mechanization mode. The entire ss was chatting during the break. If Lin Yuan went to ss next week, he would definitely be treated like an "animal" for a visit. Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. "I''m not sure either. I don''t have any experience at all." "It''s just like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant, finding his own way." "When my hand is healed, you can practice with me." Wu Di made a gesture that meant he did not have any problems. "Sure." ... When he returned to his bedroom, Lin Yuan received a text message from the bank on his phone. [Tianshui Bank] Dear customer: Your ount (end number 1997) received 50,000.00 Tianshui coins at 19:13:11 on June 12th, with a bnce of 78,165.45 yuan. "50,000 yuan?" Lin Yuan did not expect his father to transfer 50,000 yuan. 50,000 yuan was not a small sum to Lin Shouyi. Lin Shouyi''s message was sent at this time. "Take the exam well." Lin Yuan smiled and replied, "Thank you, dad." With just seven simple words, the interaction between the father and son came to an abrupt end. Although it was not a touching father-son rtionship, it was still a motivation for Lin Yuan to have Lin Shouyi''s support. "Phew..." "Cultivate!" With only half a year left, Lin Yuan could only try his best. Lin Yuan was gradually familiar with the structure of the grade-one spirit iron. However, after Lin Yuan had just practiced for an hour, he felt that the third meridian in his body, which had been attacked by spirit energy, was finally loosened. Sensing the opportunity to break through, Lin Yuan immediately stopped the action of breaking down the spirit iron and threw himself into the breakthrough of the meridian! There were twelve basic meridians in the body. They were the three Yin meridians of the hand, the three Yang meridians of the hand, the three Yang Meridians of the foot, and the three Yin meridians of the foot. They were the spirit energy channels connecting the internal organs, the surface of the body, and all the other parts of the body. Only by opening up the twelve basic meridians could one truly step into martial arts. The surrounding spirit energy was constantly being absorbed by Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan circted his mechanical-type spirit energy and tried his best to break through the third meridian! There was no earth-shattering breakthrough. For Lin Yuan, whose total spirit energy had already exceeded 40, breaking through the third meridian could only be a matter of course but it was not over yet. "It seems like I can still breakthrough!" Lin Yuan thought in surprise. He had been improving his proficiency in dposition over the past few days and did not try his best to breakthrough. His spirit energy was over forty. If he had a strong spirit seed, it was normal for him to break through to the fourth meridian. Lin Yuan''s fire-type spirit seed was too weak. With forty spirit energy, he could not even break through to the third meridian. However, everything was different at this moment. The plump silver-gray spirit seed released strong spirit energy and broke through the bottleneck of the third meridian in an instant, rushing towards the fourth meridian! The twelve meridians could be broken through in any order. However, Lin Yuan had chosen the hand three Yin meridians for the first three meridians. Next, he would definitely choose one of the hand three Yang meridians to breakthrough. "Absolutely no problem." Lin Yuan felt the strength of the mechanical-type spirit energy that was rushing toward the fourth meridian. He was full of confidence. He was certain that his mechanical-type spirit seed was not simple! Cold, sharp, and impactful. This was how Lin Yuan felt about the mechanical-type spirit energy in the first ce. The mechanical-type spirit energy turned into a torrential current, continuously hitting the bottleneck. "Hmm..." A drop of sweat finally appeared on Lin Yuan''s forehead, and he let out a painful groan. He felt as if there was a sharp awl in his body that was continuously hit by a heavy hammer on the fourth meridian. Every time it hit, there was a sharp pain in his heart, and he felt as if his entire body was being torn apart! "Break!" Lin Yuan''s confidence didn''t waver at all, and he burst out again. The st hammer" finallynded, breaking the bottleneck of the fourth meridian in an instant! The moment his meridians were broken, Lin Yuan opened his eyes and shouted loudly, "Awesome!" This word vented all of Lin Yuan''s resentment over the past three years! He had been discussed spiritedly by many people for more than three years and became the weirdo andughing stock of Dayi Middle School in Qingshan City. No matter how big Lin Yuan''s heart was, it was impossible for him to not have any emotions. Lin Yuan''s shout was so loud that it reverberated throughout the entire vi. ... Wu Di, who was next door, was tutoring in liberal arts. When he heard the word "awesome" from Lin Yuan, he suddenly understood and smiled meaningfully. Then, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Lin Yuan. "Take care of yourself." After putting down his phone, Wu Di was a little curious. "Hiss..." Wu Di smiled and nodded. He picked up his phone again and sent another message. "What''s your movie number? Can I evaluate?" Unfortunately, he only received the word "Get lost" in the end. Wu Di felt wronged. "If you don''t want to give it to me, then don''t give it to me. Why are you scolding me?" Chapter 13: Fight! Chapter 13: Fight! The corner of Lin Yuan''s mouth twitched when he saw Wu Di''s message. After replying with the word "Get lost" he threw his phone to the side. "Is this mechanical-type spirit seed so strong?" Lin Yuan thought excitedly. A 17-year-old level two four-meridians martial artist was certainly nothing. However, the total amount of 40+ spirit energy could open four meridians showed the strength of the spirit seed. The higher the realm, the more spirit energy would circte in his body, so his cultivation would naturally be faster. After cultivating the mechanical-type spirit seed for only a few days, Lin Yuan could clearly feel the increase of the spirit energy in his body, which had definitely improved. "I must be admitted to the military academy." "Only the military academy has a mechanical-type instructor." ... After taking a shower, Lin Yuan finally felt tired from the inside out. Then he slowly closed his eyes. His tensed heart finally rxedpletely and he soon fell asleep. The cultivation intensity of the mechanical-type spirit skill was very high, and it required constant concentration. Lin Yuan spent the whole afternoon to cultivate dposition, and in addition to the night cultivation, he had made continuous breakthroughs, so he was physically and mentally exhausted. The next morning, when Wu Di was training, he stood alone in the courtyard, stretching his muscles and bones. He mumbled to himself doubtfully, "Am I still dreaming?" Pop! Wu Di pped himself and covered his aching right cheek. Lin Yuan didn''t cultivate in the morning?! This was the first time in more than three years. As a brother, Wu Di knew how disciplined Lin Yuan was. How could Lin Yuan be absent at his cultivation? Then, Wu Di looked at Lin Yuan''s room worriedly. "D*mn, is he dead..." ... Knock, knock. Knock, knock. Creak... After knocking twice and no one answered, Wu Di gently opened Lin Yuan''s door and revealed his small head. After confirming that Lin Yuan was still breathing, Wu Di whispered, "D*mn." "What did you dost night? Why did you sleep so hard?" The sound of knocking on the door did not wake Lin Yuan up. One could imagine how soundly Lin Yuan slept. "Forget it." "As long as you''re not dead." Wu Di closed the door and struggled in his heart for a while. In the end, he made up his mind to do some morning cultivation. ... When Lin Yuan slowly woke up, it was already past nine in the morning. It was almost ten in the morning. Lin Yuan felt that he had never slept so well before. After breaking through two meridians, he felt full of energy when he woke up. "Phew..." Lin Yuan twisted his neck and went to the living room. On the dining table were the leftover steamed buns that Wu Di had eaten in the morning, as well as a note. There were two big words written on it: Control yourself! Lin Yuan was speechless as he threw the note into the trash can. After eating and drinking to his heart''s content, he once again devoted himself to the cultivation of dposing spirit iron. "As expected." When Lin Yuan once again circted his mechanical-type spirit energy to dpose the spirit iron, he could clearly feel the eleration of mechanization. After breaking through four meridians, the release of spirit energy was much smoother than before, but it was not as exaggerated as the qualitative change. In the following period, Lin Yuan made a detailed cultivation n. Because cultivating the mechanical-type spirit skill consumed a lot of spirit energy, it could not be non-stop. Therefore, Lin Yuanbined spirit skills, martial arts, and spirit energy cultivation. He maintained a high-intensity and reasonable cultivation state. As for Lin Yuan''s dposition speed of grade-one spirit iron, as his spirit energy increased, his proficiency also gradually matured. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. During this month, Lin Yuan did not go out. He concentrated on closed-door cultivation. Lin Yuan had even stopped going to the courses and liberal arts joint exam that he had always attended. Liberal arts students could not be absent. Unlike martial arts students, they were not free to choose courses based on their own cultivation. Previously, Lin Yuan had left himself a way out. Even if his talent in martial arts was too bad in the end and there was no hope for him to make a name for himself, Lin Yuan could still switch to liberal arts when there was no point in persisting. However, it waspletely different at this moment. Lin Yuan had found his own path in the future, and his future was bright. So he decisively gave up on liberal arts. Of course, this made the school officials of Qingshan Diyi Middle School very angry. If Lin Yuan was an ordinary liberal arts genius, the school officials wouldn''t bother with him but Lin Yuan was a liberal arts genius that was hard toe by in a hundred years. If he took the College Entrance Examination for liberal arts, he would definitely be able to create the glory of the entire Qingshan Middle School for arts. Since they couldn''t find Lin Yuan, they went to find Lin Yuan''s father, Lin Shouyi. And it was three times. What was even more unexpected was that they had already said all the good and bad words, and they couldn''t even change Lin Shouyi''s mind! "Forget it. Hurry up, I''m tired." Lin Shouyi insisted on letting Lin Yuan make his own choice and finally made the school officials despair. They really wanted to pry open the father and son''s heads and see what they were made of. ... A monthter, Wu Di announced a piece of "good news" as soon as he returned in the evening. "Lin Yuan!" "The school is looking for you all over the world. They''ve even approached me." Lin Yuan''s left and right hands continued to mechanize as he said, "What did the school say?" Wu Di chuckled. "They said that as long as you want to take the liberal arts, they can make an exception and break the school rules for you." "The door to the liberal arts is open for you at any time." In Qingshan Diyi Middle School, if a liberal arts student did not have a legitimate reason for missing a month of sses, they would basically be expelled from the liberal arts. However, Lin Yuan was too special, so the school had left a back door for him. "But I don''t think you need it anymore." Wu Di smiled as he sat down. As a brother who knew Lin Yuan''s cultivation progress the best, he knew how fast Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed was. Since hisst injury, Lin Yuan had broken through the sixth meridian in just one month. His cultivation speed was like riding a rocket! If he continued to cultivate at this speed, he might really have a good chance of reaching the tenth meridian before the College Entrance Examination. "I''m going to school tomorrow." "Pfft!" Wu Di, who was drinking a coke, suddenly spat it out and looked at Lin Yuan. "What did you say?" Just as he said that the school was looking for Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan was going to school the next day. Wasn''t he afraid of being caught on the spot and brainwashed for three hours? Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I''m going to attend a martial arts ss to spar with my opponent." Wu Di suddenly became excited. "Your first stage of cultivation is over?" "Come,e,e,e, let''s fight!" "I can finally beat you up again!" "Ah! Awesome!" In the past month, Lin Yuan waspletely immersed in cultivation. In the beginning, he sparred with Lin Yuan a few times, but because of the huge difference in spirit energy and Lin Yuan''s unskilled use of mechanical power, Wu Di had to hold back his fighting. Even though he had beaten Lin Yuan a few times, he did not get any pleasure from it. Lin Yuan had said that he would fight again after he finished the first stage of his cultivation. This moment was the time. "Come." Hearing that Lin Yuan was going to fight, Wu Di was instantly energized. "Oh ho ho! You''re so arrogant." "I''ll go get a wooden knife!" "Just you wait." Wu Di quickly ran back to his room and took a wooden knife that he used for his daily practice. When he came out, he saw Lin Yuan standing in the middle of the courtyard, warming up. "How much strength do you want me to use?" Wu Di knocked his back with the wooden knife and asked arrogantly. Chapter 14: Difference in Strength Chapter 14: Difference in Strength "Eighty percent." "Shall we try?" Lin Yuan smiled, his eyes shining with a strong fighting spirit. "Okay!" "You''re serious now." The smiles of the two gradually disappeared, and their spirit energy circted. Lin Yuan clenched his fists, his body slightly lowered, and he put on a defensive posture! Since Lin Yuan said eighty percent, then Wu Di would have to take it seriously, but he would not risk his life. The difference in spirit energy between the two sides was not small. Lin Yuan was a level two six-meridians martial artist, and his total amount of spirit energy had not been tested. ording to Lin Yuan''s estimation, it was between 60 to 70. Wu Di was a level two eleven-meridians martial artist. He was just one step away from breaking through the twelfth meridian and advancing to a level three martial artist. The two sides seemed to have a huge difference of five meridians and spirit energy, but it was not that they could not fight at Meridian Opening Realm. A martial artist at Meridian Opening Realm would at most know some basic spirit skills, but they could not achieve the materialization of their attributes. For example, a fire-type martial artist could not condense a me when they were at the Meridian Opening Realm, so they could only use the fire-type spirit energy. After reaching the third level, the gap between martial artists would gradually be widened. ... "I''ming." Wu Di took a deep breath and held the wooden knife tightly in his right hand. The spirit seed was activated instantly, and the lightning-type spirit energy surrounded his feet. Wu Di exerted force with both of his legs, and with a sh, he shot toward Lin Yuan at an astonishing speed! "Lightning Footwork!" Whoosh! The astonishing speed brought with it the sound of air being torn apart. The speed was even faster than Lin Yuan had imagined. This sparring was not a duel of Basic Martial Arts, but a duel between real martial artists. Speed was the greatest advantage of a lightning-type martial artist. In the past three months, Lin Yuan had not seen Wu Di use his Lightning Footwork at full force. He was not aware that Wu Di''s Lightning Footwork had improved significantly during this period. "So fast." Seeing Wu Di''s figure rapidly approaching, Lin Yuan''s reaction was very fast. He slightly moved his feet, but his boxing was not messy. After moving to the right side, he chose to dodge first. After cultivating the mechanical-type spirit seed, his mental strength and concentration had increased. In addition to Lin Yuan''s sensitivity to the battle and his ability to catch opportunities, this battle was not without leeway. Swoosh! Wu Di stepped on the ground with his right foot, and his agile body turned toward Lin Yuan like lightning. The wooden knife in his hand followed the momentum and shed towards Lin Yuan. The speed was so fast that Lin Yuan could not dodge at all! "Too fast!" "I can''tpete with my feet!" The biggest difference between the two sides was their speed, and it was even more obvious than the difference between their spirit energy. The six meridians that Lin Yuan had opened were the three Yin and three Yang meridians in his hand, but none in his foot had been opened. As for Wu Di, only the one in his hand had not been opened, and all six meridians in his foot had been opened. Just this alone was enough to show the difference in speed between them. This was not even mentioning the lightning-type spirit seed, which was good at speed. After two rounds of confrontation, Lin Yuan''s biggest feeling was that his speed could not keep up with his brain. He could clearly sense which direction Wu Di was going to attack from when Wu Di attacked, but because of the difference in speed, he could not avoid it at all! If Lin Yuan was a fire-type martial artist at this moment, his chances of winning against Wu Di with eleven meridians were almost zero. However, Lin Yuan was of mechanical-type at this moment, there was still another way. "Mechanization!" The mechanical-type spirit energy circted, and the grade-one spirit iron on Lin Yuan''s body instantly disintegrated and condensed, appearing in his right hand. Lin Yuan found the right time, and his right hand changed from a fist to a palm, grabbing the wooden knife that Wu Di had fiercely chopped down in the air! At the same time, with his right foot as the pivot, he turned 180 degrees and kicked his left foot to the side of Wu Di''s body. As he flew in the air, he quickly mechanized. "Mechanized Iron Foot!" Lin Yuan''s progress in the past month was amazing. Besides the Mechanized Iron Fist, Lin Yuan was also familiar with the Mechanized Iron Foot. In addition to the level one spirit iron mechanical energy in his hands and feet, this was the first phase of Lin Yuan''s training n! Facing Lin Yuan''s iron feet, Wu Di was shocked. While he lowered his waist to dodge the kick, his right hand was still holding the wooden knife tightly. His left hand condensed lightning-type spirit energy and rushed toward Lin Yuan''s shoulder! Bang! With a loud muffled sound, the two of them exchanged a punch in the air. The difference in spirit energy made Lin Yuan suffer a loss in this attack. He retreated five steps before he could stabilize his body! Hideously pain was seen on Wu Di''s face. He was not at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation, but Lin Yuan was using his Spirit Iron Fist. With this hardness, even if Wu Di used his spirit knife, he might not be able to break it. One could imagine how painful it was to fight with his bare hands! "Ah!" Wu Di roared as if he was venting. However, the battle was not over. His body did not stop. The moment hended on the ground, the soles of his feet tten against the ground. The tips of his feet were slightly tilted outward. He adjusted his direction and his entire body burst out with astonishing speed once again. Then, he held the wooden knife in his hand and chose to attack Lin Yuan''s waist! ... No matter how Wu Diined, he still followed Lin Yuan and practiced the Basic Martial Arts for three years. The Basic Martial Arts were the basics of martial artistbat and the ability to judge the situation of the battle. When Lin Yuan''s speed waspletely inferior to his, attacking Lin Yuan''s waist could force Lin Yuan to defend and keep him in a passive position. The atmosphere of the battle in the courtyard was extremely serious. As the two of them fought, Lin Yuan had long realized the result. "I can''t win." Lin Yuan''s current fighting style was the fighting style of a bat master". He could barely fight with Wu Di for a while with his mechanized martial arts. However, there was a huge gap between their speed and spirit energy, so Lin Yuan could never find a chance to win. With Wu Di''s speed and reaction, he could easily dodge Lin Yuan''s attack. If they were to fight head-on... Wu Di''s fist might hurt a little, but it was still Lin Yuan who was at a disadvantage. This was the difference in their physical strength. The difference between five meridians was not so easy to smooth out. The only way for Lin Yuan to defeat Wu Di was to condense a spirit iron weapon. However, it was meaningless. After all, Wu Di used a wooden knife, not a spiritual weapon. ... Even if Wu Di did not use his full strength, he was still able to fight to his heart''s content. At least he was not as restrained as when he sparred with Lin Yuan, not daring to release his spirit energy. Just like that, the bottleneck of the twelfth meridian, which had been bothering Wu Di, loosened! Wu Di''s body shook. He suddenly felt the changes in his body. He took a few steps back while he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to circte his spirit energy with all his might! Lin Yuan, who was about to admit defeat in the battle, was suddenly stunned. He looked at Wu Di, who had a slight fluctuation of lightning-type spirit energy on the surface of his body. Apparently, Wu Di had entered a breakthrough state. He said in surprise, "You''re going to break through?" "So fast?" "That son of a b*tch. He said that he always worked hard." Lin Yuan gradually smiled and shook his head. Wu Di had indeed worked hard in the past month. Lin Yuan could see it clearly. Apparently, he also realized that the College Entrance Examination wasing and felt a little urgent. Generally speaking, it was already very outstanding to be able to break through to a level three martial artist before the College Entrance Examination. There were still four or five months before the College Entrance Examination. To be able to break through to a level three martial artist at this point, Wu Di''s talent was indeed top-notch. Chapter 15: Uncle Wu Chapter 15: Uncle Wu He saw that Wu Di had officially started the breakthrough of the 12th meridian. Lin Yuan sat down on the grass in the courtyard and panted heavily. "Phew..." The battle with Wu Di did notst long, but it was too intense for Lin Yuan. Due to Wu Di''s speed, Lin Yuan had to focus to the extreme and block his casual attack. Such a battle consumed a lot of physical and mental strength. "There is still room for improvement in mechanization speed." "The attack method is too monotonous." "Speed is too slow." While Lin Yuan was protecting Wu Di, he was reflecting on the battle just now. He immediately came up with three key reasons. Regarding the mechanization in the battle, Lin Yuan felt that he was doing quite well. Even in a fight with a speed-type lightning-type martial artist like Wu Di, the mechanization of grade-one spirit iron was still rtively smooth. However, there were a few small mistakes in the fast-paced collisions, and he could continue to improve. The mechanical energy of grade-one spirit iron was indeed inferior to the grade-two spirit iron in terms of power, momentum, and strength. The second key reason was the monotonous attack method, which was the scarcity of spirit skills. At present, he only knew the first stage of "Basic Mechanization". In the branch of Qi path martial artists, there was a direction called bat master". The style was to train the body, bare-handed, and the body was like a rock. In the current situation where spirit skills were scarce, Lin Yuan''s fighting style was a little simr to the low-level version of bat master". "If I can learn another mechanical-type spirit skill, it would be different." Lin Yuan thought to himself. He had two books on mechanical-type basic spirit skills, one was "Basic Mechanization", and the other was "Mechanized Crossbow". With his current spirit energy cultivation speed, it should not be a problem for him to reach 100 before the College Entrance Examination. If he could master "Mechanized Crossbow" sessfully, then Lin Yuan would have more options to fight. There was no need to analyze the third reason. In front of Wu Di, Lin Yuan was very clumsy. This was a problem of strength and realm. When Lin Yuan opened the meridians on his feet, the problem would solve naturally. ... Breaking through from a level two to a level three martial artist was a bottleneck of a major realm. Wu Di used a total of twelve hours. When the next morning arrived, Lin Yuan could clearly feel that Wu Di''s Qi and blood began to surge violently. Streaks of lightning started to appear faintly beside Wu Di. "So cool." Lin Yuan quietly watched Wu Di enter the final breakthrough and clicked his tongue in admiration. When Wu Di opened his eyes again, there seemed to be a sh of lightning in his eyes. His entire martial artist temperament also underwent an earth-shattering change. Body Tempering Realm was the sign of truly stepping into level three for a martial artist. Almost half of the Tianshui Kingdom''s martial artists were stuck as level three martial artists. Lin Yuan smiled and asked Wu Di, who was full of excitement, "How do you feel?" "Do you even need to ask? Just one word, awesome!" Wu Di stood up and could not wait to get used to this new realm! Previously, when he broke through to a certain realm, Wu Di took into ount Lin Yuan''s emotions because Lin Yuan''s talent was very poor. He did not even dare to show off in front of Lin Yuan and share the joy of breakthrough with him. However, it waspletely different at this moment. Wu Di had never felt so good before! "Can you condense your spirit energy for me to take a look?" "Sure." Wu Di chuckled and stretched out his left hand. The lightning-type spirit energy in his body condensed into a rope and exploded. On his left hand, a golden bolt of lightning condensed and danced in Wu Di''s hand. It disappeared as Wu Di clenched his hands. "Am I handsome?" "Do you envy me?" Wu Diughed unscrupulously at the thought of his lightning-covered body and the handsome battle scene. "Awoo..." "Wonderful!" Lin Yuan yawned and waved his hand, "I''m going to sleep for a while. You... Awoo... do what''s fit." Lin Yuan was a little sleepy after watching Wu Di''s breakthrough the whole night. After chatting with Wu Di for a while, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. It seemed that he would not be able to attend the martial arts ss that he had nned to attend. The reason why he wanted to attend the martial arts ss was that Lin Yuan hoped that he could increase his martial artsbat experience by sparring with different opponents. He wanted to strengthen his mechanized handling when he faced different types of opponents. After all, this was the only move he knew at this moment. ... In the afternoon. "Son!" "Son!" Lin Yuan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Wu Dafu''s loud voice outside the door. In the living room, Wu Di made a gesture of silence and reproached. "Dad, keep your voice down!" "Lin Yuan protected mest night. He''s still..." "Eh? Lin Yuan, you''re awake?" Lin Yuan came out of his room before Wu Di could finish his sentence. Seeing the familiar figure with a big belly in the living room, he said politely, "Hello, Uncle Wu." Wu Dafu received a message from Wu Di in the afternoon saying that he had broken through to a level three martial artist, and he immediately rushed over from his home excitedly. A level three martial artist! There were probably only a few geniuses from aristocratic families in the entire Qingshan Diyi Middle School who had reached this level! Wu Dafu was so proud of his son, who was on par with the geniuses from the aristocratic families. He couldn''t wait to let the whole world know about it. In the future, he would hold his head high in the business world and do whatever he wanted! Wu Dafu couldn''t hold back his smile, which was so wide that it almost reached his ears. As a result, his slightly plump cheeks became even more crowded. "Lin Yuan, I''m sorry. I didn''t know you were sleeping." Lin Yuan quickly waved his hand. "It''s okay, Uncle Wu. I turned in early morning." "I''m almost done sleeping now." Ever since he met Wu Di, Wu Dafu had taken care of Lin Yuan very well. He had always been very generous and treated Lin Yuan as his godson. He had spent a lot of money on Lin Yuan over the past few years. Without him, Lin Yuan''s path of martial arts would still be unknown in some corner of the world, let alone on the right track. Wu Dafuughed out loud. "Hahahaha!" "As expected, everything has been going ording to n recently." "Let''s go, I''ll take you guys out for a good meal today!" "World Street, pick anything you like!" In the past month, Wu Dafu had made two consecutive profits in the business world. Then, he heard the huge good news of Wu Di breaking through to a level three martial artist. Even his godson, Lin Yuan, had started to see hope as he re-cultivated his mechanical-type spirit seed. How could Wu Dafu not be excited? On the way to the vi, he had already called a few of his brothers and bragged about how good he was at teaching the next generation! He was proud! In fact, he himself knew that half of the credit for Wu Di''s breakthrough to a level three martial artist was due to Lin Yuan. Without Lin Yuan, Wu Dafu would be thankful if Wu Di, the little rascal, did not cause trouble for him, let alone cultivation. Although the Wu family was wealthy, Wu Dafu did not want Wu Di to inherit his legacy. Hence, when Wu Di said that Lin Yuan wanted to enroll in the military academy, he asked Wu Di to join him. The business world was dull, but martial arts was hot-blooded. Men should live out their own stories! Chapter 16: Anything That Could Be Solved with Money Was Not a Problem! Chapter 16: Anything That Could Be Solved with Money Was Not a Problem! World Street, Immortal Gathering. Even in World Street, where countless high-ss restaurants gathered, Immortal Gathering could be ranked in the top three. A simple meal would cost at least 100,000 Tianshui coins. If it was a banquet, it would cost more than 1,000,000 Tianshui coins. The reason why it was expensive was not only because of its fame and environment but the ingredients. "Come, Lin Yuan, Wu Di, try this silverfin cod." A small bowl of hot silverfin cod soup was served and Wu Dafu called out. The fragrance of the fish drifted out. Lin Yuan smelled it and heard his stomach beat. Silverfin cod was a grade two spiritual beast in the sea. Its meat was delicious. This small bowl cost 88,888 Tianshui coins. The four bowls on the table cost more than 300,000 yuan. "That''s 30,000 yuan for one bite." Lin Yuan''s heart was trembling. He had never been so extravagant before. When the silverfin cod slipped into Lin Yuan''s mouth, Lin Yuan felt a sense of extreme delicacy and faint spirit energy seemed to have merged into his body. Seeing Wu Di and Lin Yuan''s enjoyment, Wu Dafu smiled and said, "The taste is okay, right?" "Unfortunately, I can''t order the goldfin cod with my status. In the future, I''ll see if I can bask in the glory of the two of you." The goldfin cod was a level three spiritual beast in the sea. It was extremely rare. Usually, it was provided to those aristocratic families or martial arts experts. It was very difficult for real estate businessmen like them to get it. The woman sitting next to Wu Dafu was Wu Di''s mother, Jiang Xiu. She had a gentle temperament. Wu Di immediately patted his chest and said, "Don''t worry, dad." "I''m a genius martial artist." "In the future, I''ll let you eat goldfin cod until you vomit!" Jiang Xiu and Wu Dafu were full of smiles. When they learned that Wu Di had be a level three martial artist before the College Entrance Exam, they were both happy and relieved at the same time. They had finally raised Wu Di to adulthood. Not only did he not be a yboy, but he had be a genius martial artist instead. Wu Dafu patted Lin Yuan''s shoulder and smiled at Wu Di. "Wu Di." "You should thank Lin Yuan for breaking through to a level three martial artist, right?" When Lin Yuan heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wu, no, no, no." "I can''t help him cultivate either. He cultivated bit by bit on his own." Wu Di quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up excitedly. "Dad, did you hear that?" "I told you that I''ve been working hard, but you don''t believe me!" Jiang Xiu, who was standing at the side, heard Wu Di boasting about himself and quickly pulled him down. "Alright, alright, stop boasting." "You''re just a grinder. Push and turn. If no one push, then you won''t turn." As parents, Wu Dafu and Jiang Xiu knew their son too well. It was not until he met Lin Yuan that Wu Di''s personality slowly changed. Lin Yuan, who was mature since childhood, had indeed influenced Wu Di a lot and even admired him for a time. ... So this was the image of Wu Di in his parents'' eyes? Wu Di sat down resentfully and sighed heavily. "Sigh!" Wu Dafu kept smiling and said with rare encouragement, "You''ve finally made your father proud once after you were born." "In the future, your father can stand tall when I go out." The atmosphere of Wu Di''s family of three was extremely warm. After so many years, they had treated Lin Yuan as a member of the family. Naturally, Lin Yuan gradually blended in. When they talked about Lin Yuan''s ns for the military academy, Wu Dafu turned his head and asked Wu Di, "Wu Di, have you thought about which school you want to go?" After bing a level three martial artist, Wu Di actually had a lot of choices on his martial path. The five top martial arts academies were basically not a problem for him. The military academy still had to see if his liberal arts scores could meet the standards. However, the decision was still in Wu Di''s hands. Lin Yuan was also curious about Wu Di''s decision. He raised his head and looked at Wu Di. For an entire month, Wu Di was in a dilemma. Until the moment he broke through to a level three martial artist, he suddenly figured it out. "Let''s talk about it after the exam." "If Lin Yuan can get into the Tianshui Military Academy, I''ll go with him." "If he fails, then I''ll go to Dongdu College." Wu Dafu smiled and nodded. "Yes." "Not bad." No matter which academy Wu Di enrolled in, they had no objections. Dongdu College was one of the two best martial arts academies in the entire Tianshui Kingdom. Last year, it won the championship in the 1451st Tianshui Martial Arts Academy Competition. It was definitely a famous martial arts academy. There was no need to mention the military academies. As long as they could persevere, they would definitely be able to cultivate their best! As they were about to leave, Wu Dafu said to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, I''ll get someone to keep an eye out for the mechanical-type spirit skills on the market." "If there''s a suitable one, I''ll buy it for you." "Uncle Wu..." Seeing Lin Yuan''s expression, Wu Dafu frowned slightly and clicked his tongue. "Tsk." "Your Uncle Wu has always treated you as half a son. There''s no point in talking about it anymore. Do your best." "Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!" Wu Dafu knew very well that a truly powerful spirit skill could not be bought with money. With the status of a wealthy merchant, he could not even eat goldfin cod. As long as he had enough money, that was enough. Hearing Uncle Wu''s words, Lin Yuan did not refuse anymore. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu." "Okay." ... A dayter. When Lin Yuan appeared in the martial arts ss of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. From the school management to the students, the entire school was in an uproar. In the past, a genius would at most cause a discussion in the liberal arts or martial arts departments. However, Lin Yuan was a weirdo. He was involved in both the liberal arts and martial arts departments. When Li Jinnan, the head of the Liberal Arts Department of Diyi Middle School, heard that Lin Yuan, who had disappeared for more than a month, had appeared in the school, he stood up from his office with a whoosh! The teacher at the side asked carefully, "Do you want me to ask him toe over?" Li Jinnan took a deep breath and shook his head. "I''ll go to him myself." Lin Yuan was important to the Liberal Arts Department of Diyi Middle School, but it was even more important to him, Li Jinnan! As long as Lin Jinnan sessfully pulled Lin Yuan back to the Liberal Arts Department and created the glory of the Liberal Arts Department, his future would be bright. He might even be the next principal of Qingshan Diyi Middle School! Since thest time he beat up Pei Xi, Lin Yuan''s rare mechanical-type spirit seed had naturally be the topic of conversation among his ssmates. However, Lin Yuan''s road to the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, no one was optimistic from a rational perspective. After all, mechanical-type was too rare. There were no teachers and no spirit skills. It was indeed difficult to rely purely on Basic Martial Artsbined with spirit energy. Compared to the Basic Martial Arts dojo, a real dojo was much bigger. After all, the space required for a battle between martial artists was muchrger. "Hey, Lin Yuan, where''s Wu Di?" "He has something to do. He went home for a few days." Lin Yuan, Fang Zixin, Song Cheng, and the others gathered in a circle, waiting for the martial arts ss to begin. After Wu Di became a level three martial artist, he went back to attend a few dinners organized by his father. Just as everyone was chatting, the teacher in the dojo suddenly announced in a loud voice, "Today is the Martial Arts College Entrance Mock Examination." "The students from the 12th and 13th grades will participate. The students from the 10th and 11th grades will be watching from the side." Upon hearing this news, the dojo gradually became noisy. "Isn''t today a confrontation practice?" Song Cheng was somewhat puzzled. Fang Zixin shrugged and said, "Let''s do the College Entrance Mock Examination then. It just so happens that we can estimate the score." Chapter 17: Martial Arts College Entrance Mock Examination! (I) Chapter 17: Martial Arts College Entrance Mock Examination! (I) This sudden College Entrance Mock Examination was naturally the work of the head of the Liberal Arts Department, Li Jinnan. At this moment, Li Jinnan was talking with the martial arts teachers. There was nopetition between Liberal Arts and Martial Arts Departments. Even if it was a genius who had been doing good in both liberal arts and martial arts, 99% of them would choose the Martial Arts Department. After all, there was a difference in social status. However, for a liberal arts genius like Lin Yuan, the teachers of the martial arts would be happy to help. Moreover, Li Jinnan hade personally. They had to show him some respect. The martial arts mock exam was to directly attack Lin Yuan''s confidence in the martial arts. With 350 points for the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, he had to get at least 180 points before he had a chance to attend a regr martial arts academy. Li Jinnan thought of letting Lin Yuan get a score first before using this score tomunicate with him. It was more straightforward. In the dojo, the 12th and 13th-grade students were all warming up as they discussed. Indeed, there were less than five months left before the College Entrance Examination. It was normal to have a mock exam of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination. It was just a little sudden. Fang Zixin warmed up and asked, "Lin Yuan, do you want to take the exam too?" Lin Yuan nodded. "I''ll try." Lin Yuan was not afraid of being embarrassed. He knew very well that he could not score too high this time but there was no harm in trying. Coincidentally, he also wanted to know how far away he was from his target of 240 points. All the juniors of 10th and 11th-grade retreated to the edge of the dojo and discussed excitedly. It was still too early for them to get involved in the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, so they could only watch. ... The College Entrance Exam was 350 points for martial arts. There were battle spirit seeds and special spirit seeds. Special spirit seeds were white medical-type spirit seeds, and so on. The battle spirit seed exam was divided into six categories. Except for a full score of 100 points in the Spirit Energy Test, the other five categories were all full scores of 50 points. These six categories were the Spirit Energy Test, Strength Test, Speed Test, Spirit Seed Test, Combat Test, and Examiner Test. Compared to the atmosphere of the real Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, the atmosphere of the mock exam this time was not as tense. However, every student who participated in the mock exam also became serious as they wanted to find out their own abilities. After all the facilities were in ce, the martial arts mock exam officially began. ording to the numbers they received, they entered the dojo to begin the exam. "What''s your number?" "211." "462." "Lin Yuan, what about you?" Lin Yuan looked at his report card. On it was marked number 22. "Number 22." "Then hurry up. You''re going in soon." A group of ten people entered, and it was Lin Yuan''s turn in the third group. "Then I''ll go in first." ... Lin Yuan calmly stepped into the dojo. The third group of ten people began the first test, Spirit Energy Test. "Next, number 22, Lin Yuan." The teacher next to the Spirit Energy Test instrument checked Lin Yuan''s report card and then inserted the report card into the Spirit Energy Test instrument. "Begin." Standing in front of the instrument, Lin Yuan raised his right hand after hearing the instruction and slowly released all of his spirit energy! As he released his spirit energy, Lin Yuan''s score was clearly disyed in front of everyone''s eyes. 10 20 30 40 When he was over 40, the students who were watching nearby were all discussing. "Didn''t they say that Lin Yuan''s spirit energy talent is bad? It''s not bad." "Hiss..." "It''s a little bad, but it''s not as bad as the rumors say." ... The final result of the spirit energy test was 20 points off the total amount of spirit energy. If the total amount of spirit energy was 20 points, then it would be 0 points. If the total amount of spirit energy was over 120 points, then it would be a full score. When Lin Yuan''s result was fixed at 48.46 points, even the teacher who was taking the test could not believe it. Lin Yuan''s total spirit energy was 68? It was normal for a martial artist at this stage to have 80-90 points. Lin Yuan''s score was almostparable to that of a normal 13th-grade martial artist. "Phew." Lin Yuan withdrew his spirit energy and exhaled lightly. The teacher was surprised, but he still pulled Lin Yuan''s report card from the testing machine and handed it to Lin Yuan. This score was automatically recorded on Lin Yuan''s report card. Spirit Energy: 48.46. ... The Spirit Energy Test was a major category for martial artists to get points, and it was also the most stable one. Thetter few categories were not easy to gain points, especially the Combat Test and Examiner Test. The former was extremely unstable, while thetter could not get points. The next two categories, Strength Test and Speed Test were also conducted on professional equipment. As a "celebrity", Lin Yuan attracted the attention of almost all the juniors. After the first event surprised them, Lin Yuan, made the crowd cry out in surprise in the second event! Lin Yuan stood in front of the Strength Test equipment and suddenly exerted force with his feet. He slightly turned his body and a strong force burst out from his waist and crotch. The spirit energy of the mechanical-type surged, and in an instant, it spread through his right arm! "Mechanized!" Lin Yuan''s right fist rapidly mechanized, as if it was an arrow shot out from a full-moon bow. With an afterimage, it crashed into the tester with a bang! Boom! Everyone looked at the tester, and the score on it reached 31.19! "Holy sh*t." "F*ck." "F*ck, who said that Lin Yuan is a waste of martial arts? This score is almost at the level of nine meridians!" "Although it''s not very impressive, he is definitely not a useless martial artist." Looking at the result, Lin Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Other than Combat Test, he was most confident in the Strength Test. After all, all six of the opened meridians were the meridians of the hand. Moreover, the impact and strength of the mechanical-type spirit energy were already very strong. As for thetter part, Lin Yuan did not do well in the Speed Test. He tried his best, but only got 16.13 points. His speed was average. The reason was very clear to the freshmen. He did not open the six meridians of his feet, so his realm was not high enough. ... "It seems that Lin Yuan is around the level of six meridians," Li Jinnan, who was watching Lin Yuan, nodded and said. Lin Yuan only got 95.78 (48.46, 31.19, and 16.13) out of 200 points in the first three exams. He didn''t even get half of the points. Overall, he was below average, far from being outstanding in the liberal arts. "No..." "What''s wrong?" Li Jinnan heard Lu Zhun''s puzzled voice and turned to ask. Lu Zhun''s gaze prated through the secondyer of ss and looked at Lin Yuan, who was preparing for the fourth test. The fourth test was Spirit Seed Test. The strength of the spirit seed was tested by a professional instrument. In short, it was a test of talent! "His spirit seed should be very strong." "What do you mean?" Lu Zhun took a look and said firmly, "The total spirit energy is only 68, and it can break through six meridians." "The strength of this spirit seed is definitely not low!" It was not a secret that Lin Yuan had a rare mechanical-type spirit seed. However, it had only appeared once a month ago in the Qingshan Diyi Middle School, and even the teachers of the Martial Arts Department didn''t know about it. As soon as Lu Zhun finished his words. The whole dojo was filled with exmations! Chapter 18: Martial Arts College Entrance Mock Examination! (II) Chapter 18: Martial Arts College Entrance Mock Examination! (II) In the Spirit Seed Test, there was usually not much difference. The average spirit seed talent of those who applied for martial arts was not too bad, most of them were between 30 and 40. Those with outstanding talent would be rated at above 40 points. There were only four people in the 13th-grade of Qingshan Diyi Middle School who could achieve a full score of 50 points. Wu Di''s lightning-type spirit seed was one of them. ... "F*ck..." "A... full score?!" "Is Lin Yuan''s mechanical-type spirit seed so strong?" "No wonder Lin Yuan insists on martial arts!" "I''ve told you that Lin Yuan is not simple. How could a genius with almost a perfect score in liberal arts be a fool?" One had to know that Lin Yuan''s other fire-type spirit seed had only scored 10 points in the previous test. It was extremely bad. All the shocked gazes were focused on the 50.00 in front of Lin Yuan. Exmations continued to ring out, one after another! When they saw this score, not only was the entire dojo in an uproar, even Lin Yuan himself could not believe it. He knew that this mechanical-type spirit seed would be very strong, but he did not expect it to be so strong! ... On the second floor of the dojo. Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun stared nkly at the familiar figure of the youth in the center of the dojo. "A top-tier spirit seed..." No one had expected that a fifth top-tier spirit seed genius would appear in this year. And it was Lin Yuan! "No wonder..." Li Jinnan''s eyes sparkled as he muttered to himself. Never treat a person as a fool, especially a genius of liberal arts with high IQ like Lin Yuan! If there was really no hope, would Lin Yuan be obsessed with martial arts? Li Jinnan took a deep breath and turned his head to ask, "Lu Zhun, do you know anything about the mechanical-type spirit seed?" What he didn''t quite understand was why Lin Yuan''s initial training was so slow. If he had revealed his martial arts talent earlier, Li Jinnan wouldn''t have put in so much effort to deal with Lin Yuan. No matter how good Lin Yuan''s results were in the liberal arts, he would be willing to give him to the Martial Arts Department. Lu Zhun shook his head. "I''m not sure." "But Lin Yuan''s score in the martial arts won''t be low." Lu Zhun could not figure it out either. He could only wait until the end of the exam and ask Lin Yuan himself. ... Lin Yuan took the report card with a total score of 145.78 and walked towards the Combat Test venue. At this moment, Lin Yuan had be the focus of the entire dojo. Even the examinees who were taking the Strength Test and Speed Test at the back were affected. The gaze that used to look at a clown had turned into disbelief. "Let''s go!" "Let''s go. Let''s fight for a spot to watch Lin Yuan''s Combat Test!" "Among martial artists of the same level, no one is a match for Lin Yuan, right?" "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Countless juniors of the 10th and 11th-grade rushed to the Combat Test field, making the Combat Test field, which already had a lot of spectators, even more crowded. Of the first four tests, two were to stabilize the score, while the other two relied on strength and improvisation. As for the fifth and sixth tests, Combat Test was not stable, Examiner Test could not gain any point. The Combat Test required the examinees to fight against three random participants of the same level one after another. There were three rounds, and each round would have five examiners to evaluate the battles. The middle score of the five points would be used as the score of one round, and the average score of the three rounds would be used to get the final result. The report card was inserted again, and the cold voice of the instrument said, "Number 22, Lin Yuan, level two with six meridians, Match 1." "Number 10, Xiao Qiang, level two with six meridians, Match 1." "Fighting ring 12." Fierce battles were taking ce in all the arenas of the Combat Test, and spirit energy was overflowing. No level three martial artists were participating in the mock exam, so it was easier to arrange the Combat Test. Why was the result of the Combat Test unpredictable? It was because there was no way to predict the exact strength of the three opponents one encountered. There was definitely a world of difference between three perfect victories and three perfect defeats. ... Lin Yuan inserted the report card into the instrument in fighting ring 12 and then stood on the fighting ring. On the other side of the fighting ring, the young man with a crew cut was Xiao Qiang, a 12th-grade student who was participating in the martial arts college entrance mock exam for the first time. From Xiao Qiang''s bodynguage, it was obvious that he was a little nervous. However, before he could finish adjusting his bodynguage, the chief examiner sitting at the side said, "Begin." As soon as he heard that, Lin Yuan''s body shed and his right hand instantly became mechanized. He shortened their distance and threw a punch at his opponent! Although the speed of this punch was not fast, the powerful impact instantly enveloped Xiao Qiang. "Explosive Fist!" Xiao Qiang gritted his teeth, and the basic fire-type spirit skill Explosive Fist flew out in anger. Did he choose to exchange punches with Lin Yuan? Below the fighting ring, Xiao Qiang''s good friend who had finished the assessment earlier could not help but curse, "Exchange punches with Lin Yuan face to face?" "Retard!" Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Yuan''s Qi force roared like a long dragon in his right fist, and it charged forward like a bullet! Bang! With just one punch, Xiao Qiang was sent flying and smashed heavily on the fighting ring. The surrounding juniors were almost suffocated. They stared nkly at the young man who was called a "Basic Martial Arts Master"! "Is this Lin Yuan?" "Within the category of a level two martial artist, it is very difficult for someone of the same level to beat him." "Indeed, within the category of a level two martial artist, the help given by the spirit seed to the martial artist is too low." The crowd discussed among themselves. Only a level three martial artist could achieve the materialization of the spirit seed, and only some spirit skills could be used in perfect coordination with the spirit seed. For example, Xiao Qiang''s Explosive Fist, when he broke through to level three and threw a punch, the power of the mes was astonishing. At this moment, Xiao Qiang''s Explosive Fist did not even have a spark. The five examiners looked at each other and gave Lin Yuan a score fairly. Those who could kill their opponents in an instant were usually given a full score of 50 points. In this test, not much difference was found in the grading standards for the battles between the six-meridians martial artists and the battles between the eleven-meridians martial artists. Combat techniques, application of spirit seeds, and most importantly, the result of victory and defeat contributed to the score. The main focus of this test was on thebat ability within the same level. The reason was actually very simple. There were definitely no strong students with eight or nine meridians recognized by the martial arts academy when they were fighting with the lowestbat ability of ten-meridians martial artists. It was the same for a level three martial artist. A level three martial artist who could be killed consecutively in a battle of the same level was almost a useless martial artist. A good martial artist was not just a martial artist with a high realm. ... Lin Yuan drew the report card with ease. [Combat Test (1): 50.00.] "As expected." This was Lin Yuan''s most confident category. One had to know that if he fought with all his strength, he could still contend with Wu Di of the eleven meridians for a few rounds. It was very difficult for a martial artist with six meridians to be his opponent. This result was not out of Lin Yuan''s expectations. On that day, the main surprise for Lin Yuan was still the Spirit Seed Test. "Number 22, Lin Yuan, level two with six meridians." "The second round, fighting ring 17, starts in 10 minutes." ... In thest two rounds, Lin Yuan once again used his mechanized punch to kill his opponent in the second round. In the third round, he faced a fast wind-type martial artist. After a short maneuver, he still sessfully won. The final result for the three rounds was 50.00, 50.00, and 48.00. The average result was 49.33! In the final round of the Examiner Test, all the martial artists had to fight against the examiner who was a level three martial artist. Why did it say that they could not get any points in this round? It was because only by defeating the examiner could they get a full score, 50 points. The weaker the overall strength of the martial artist, the lower the score would be. Facing a real level three martial artist, Lin Yuan, who only had six meridians and was extremely slow, had no means to resist. He only relied on his judgment and mechanical reaction to get a pitiful 8.00 score. Thus, Lin Yuan hadpleted all six mock tests for the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination. Chapter 19: Five Months Chapter 19: Five Months Name: Lin Yuan Spirit Energy Test: 48.46 Strength Test: 31.19 Speed Test: 16.13 Spirit Seed Test: 50.00 Combat Test: 49.33 Examiner Test: 8.00 Total score: 203.11 . ... The mock examsted for nearly two hours, and Lin Yuan''s final score was fixed at 203.11 points. Other than the Spirit Seed Test, the other five results did not exceed Lin Yuan''s imagination. "With the 50 points of the spirit seed, 240 points in the College Entrance Examination is definitely not a problem." Li Jinnan did not expect that the martial arts mock exam, which was supposed to hit Lin Yuan''s confidence in martial arts, would actually stimte Lin Yuan''s confidence to the peak! As Lin Yuan''s cultivation level increased, the increase in his Spirit Energy Test score was the most intuitive. Secondly, Lin Yuan''s speed would also increase to a certain extent with every breakthrough of his six meridians in his legs. ording to this result, if he broke through to nine meridians before the College Entrance Examination, he might be hovering above the 240-point mark. If ten meridians were opened, his score would be stable at more than 240 points, and he could even aim for higher scores. Just when Lin Yuan was full of confidence and was about to go home to continue his cultivation, a teacher in the dojo called out to him. "Mr. Lu wants to see me?" "Okay, I''ll go now." Lin Yuan nodded. Mr. Lu Zhun was not very close to Lin Yuan because Lin Yuan did not attend many martial arts sses. He spent most of his time on Basic Martial Arts. It was normal for him to ask Lin Yuan to talk to him when he suddenly disyed the talent of a top-tier spirit seed. However, when Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun appeared in front of Lin Yuan side by side, Lin Yuan knew that something was wrong. Lin Yuan nodded politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Li and Mr. Lu." Li Jinnan raised his hand and was about to say something. When he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate, he put his hand down resentfully. Should he still ask Lin Yuan to return to the liberal arts? It would be fine if Lin Yuan''s martial arts talent was as bad as before. At this moment, Lin Yuan''s results could even support him to attend the top five martial arts colleges! He and Li Jinnan had already calcted that among the top five martial arts colleges, the worst Binghai College received students of 362.44 as the baselinest year! Lin Yuan''s liberal arts results were close to full marks. With this calction, Lin Yuan only needed to get about 215 points to enter Binghai College for his martial arts. So everything was in Lin Yuan''s n? "It doesn''t make sense..." Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun could not figure it out. Why would Lin Yuan suppress his realm with such a good spirit seed talent? Even if he could not break through to a level three martial artist, he should be able to enter the five great academies with eleven meridians. "Lin Yuan, what''s the situation with your spirit seed?" "Why didn''t you cultivate this mechanical-type spirit seed before?" "Is it because you don''t have any spirit skills?" Lu Zhun asked straightforwardly. Lin Yuan touched his nose and answered truthfully, "No." "To cultivate the mechanical-type spirit energy, I have to have sufficient physical strength. I started rtivelyte." "It''s simr to the steel-type." Hearing this, Li Jinnan and Lu Zhun were stunned at first. Then, they widened their eyes and came to a sudden realization. Steel-type martial artists also needed strong bones to support them, which could turn their entire bodies into steel. The mechanical-type and steel-type spirit seeds seemed simr. However, there was a fundamental difference. One spirit seed was silver-gray, and the other spirit seed was gray-white. Most mechanical-type focused on long-range attacks. The steel-type focused on closebat body tempering. "So you''ve been increasing your body''s strength for the past three years?" "Just that simple?" "Yes, that''s right." Lin Yuan nodded. That was the reason. He didn''t know that his mechanical-type spirit seed was very strong. Since it was in uncharted territory, there was no need to expose this spirit seed. It wouldn''t affect him anyway. At most, he would be criticized. Lu Zhun stole a nce at the disappointed Li Jinnan and turned to Lin Yuan. "Okay, you can go first." "Goodbye, sir." Seeing Lin Yuan leave, Li Jinnan sighed slightly. "This must be fate." It was not easy to wait for a liberal arts genius to appear. In the end, he was still an all-rounder who was obsessed with martial arts. To Li Jinnan, this was not entirely a bad thing. At least Lin Yuan''s martial arts talent had shown up, so he had a reason to exin to the school. He couldn''t possibly make Lin Yuan, who had a top-tier spirit seed, give up his martial arts and be a schr. ... Outside the dojo, Fang Zixin excitedly pped Lin Yuan. "Are you serious?!" "203 points?" "This score has already surpassed Song Cheng''s!" Song Cheng bitterly held the report card, which happened to have a score of 202 points, and felt like he had been shot. He had just broken through to eight meridians, and 202 points were almost his best level. Lin Yuan smiled. "There are still a few months left. I should be able to improve my grades." Lin Yuan, who was originally wless in appearance, had disyed the potential of a top-tier martial artist at this moment. In an instant, the image of him in the eyes of the girls around him changed. It was as if he was shining. "Brother Yuan only needs to break through one or two meridians in these few months." "It won''t be a problem for him to get into one of the five colleges." A few friends congratted Lin Yuan. The students around them were also talking about him. Apparently, it had be big news again. In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yuan went from a top-notch loser to a genius for the top five colleges in just one month. "Life is really mysterious." "Fate will always favor those who work hard. This is the truth." "Those who are stronger than you work harder than you, and are more handsome than you... sigh..." ... Lin Yuan''s appearance with a top-grade spirit seed instantly swept the entire Qingshand Middle School. The forums, sses, and group chats were all crazily discussing this young man who was once called a "weirdo" and a "clown"! Many people sent congrattory messages to Lin Yuan, including Lin Yuan''s father, Lin Shouyi. However, Lin Yuan did not care about thepliments. He immediately devoted himself to cultivation when he returned home. "The second phase of training is about to begin." After receiving the feedback from the results, Lin Yuan''s motivation was bursting! Moreover, many difficulties in the spirit skill manual, Basic Mechanization were still waiting for Lin Yuan to ovee. At the moment, he could onlyplete the partial mechanization of his hands and feet. Even the simultaneous mechanization of his hands was a little strenuous. There were less than five months before the College Entrance Examination, so he had set three goals for himself. The first goal: to reach more than 100 spirit energy and breakthrough ten meridians. The second goal: toplete the perfect transition of theplete mechanization of the body. The third goal: to learn the second mechanical-type spirit skill, "Mechanized Crossbow". If all three goals were achieved, Lin Yuan would definitely be able to steadily breakthrough 240 points in the College Entrance Examination five monthster, and he would be able to sprint toward higher scores. ... Lin Yuan did not have any other thoughts in the following time. The school and the vi had been turned into two dots on a single line. He was fully focused on preparing for the College Entrance Examination! In the blink of an eye, five months passed by slowly. All the 13th-grade students in the country had weed an examination that would determine their future destinies! Chapter 20: Full Marks in Liberal Arts Chapter 20: Full Marks in Liberal Arts Tianshui calendar, January 8, 2022. Every year, January 7 and 8 were the day of the Tianshui College Entrance Examination in liberal arts and the College Entrance Examination in martial arts. The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination was extremely important to all senior martial artists under the age of 18. Because in the Tianshui Kingdom, as long as one was over the age of 18, they were not allowed to take the College Entrance Examination, so there was only one chance. Once the mood of the day was out of bnce, there would be no second chance for abnormal performance. The Martial Arts College Entrance Examinationsted one day. 8:30-11:30 a.m., liberal arts exam 150 points. 1:30-7:30 p.m., martial arts exam 350 points. Noon. All non-exam rted personnel were waiting anxiously outside the exam room. Besides the parents, there were also many reporters and various school personnel. The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination was the highlight of the year, and everyone was paying attention to it. ... 11:11 a.m. The liberal arts examination had entered the final stage. Lin Yuan calmly nced at the time on the mechanical screen. After checking it twice, he pressed the hand-in button on the screen. The next moment, the full score of 150.00 jumped to the center of the screen! At the same time, this liberal arts score was naturally recorded into Lin Yuan''s College Entrance Examination report card. "Hey." "It''s too easy." Lin Yuan smiled slightly and pulled out his College Entrance Examination report card. Lin Yuan was not surprised by this full score. It should be known that the liberal arts exam was much more difficult than the martial arts exam, and the Joint Entrance Exam was also much more difficult than the College Entrance Examination. In the previous Joint Entrance Exam of the ten schools, Lin Yuan had scored a record-breaking 497 points. With his standard, it was simply easy and enjoyable to take the liberal arts exam paper. "I wonder how Wu Di did in the exam." Lin Yuan sat in his seat and thought that Wu Di''s liberal arts results should be the only factor that restricted them from joining the military academy. Ring! The moment the College Entrance Examination bell rang, countless examinees in the venue who were badly battered looked at their exam screens in despair! The final results of every examinee appeared in front of their eyes. "It''s over..." "Aih, it''s fine. There''s still martial arts exam in the afternoon." "20 points are missing. It''s over." "My dream had been shattered..." Every exam in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination would give score feedback on the spot. The entire process was a test of an examinee''s strength and mentality. If a certain section went awry and affected the subsequent exams, the whole game would be lost. Even if the liberal arts exam in the morning did not perform well, the martial arts exam in the afternoon still had a chance to reverse the situation. ... The entrance of the exam hall had long been surrounded by examinees'' parents and media reporters. As the examinees surged out of the school, these media reporters continuously searched for a few key middle school martial artists. Lin Yuan had just stepped out of the entrance of the examination hall when he felt countless shlights shing at him. "Hello, Lin Yuan, excuse me!" "Hello, I''m a reporter from the Four Directions Television Station, can you..." Faced with the siege of the reporters, Li Jinnan, the head of the Liberal Arts Department of Diyi Middle School, immediately rushed over to protect Lin Yuan and forced his way out of the crowd. "Sorry, excuse me." "Excuse me, please!" Ever since Lin Yuan disyed his top-grade spirit seed, Lin Yuan had be the focus of attention this year. He was a genius in liberal arts, a prodigy in martial arts, a rare spirit seed, and a top-grade handsome guy... These topics were all focused on the same young man, so naturally, he attracted the attention of the media. One of the articles, entitled "Lin Yuan, Sharpening His Sword Using Three Years!", even became a trending article. The article was exaggerated and made assumptions out of thin air. Even Lin Yuan''s family was greatly affected. Li Jinnan was a member of the College Entrance Examination Team of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. He protected the students who might admit to the five major colleges and didn''t let the reporters affect their state for the martial arts exam in the afternoon. That was the main event. Moreover, after learning that Lin Yuan had a top-grade spirit seed, Li Jinnan had no opinion about Lin Yuan at all. "How many points? Full marks?" After squeezing out of the crowd with Lin Yuan, Li Jinnan asked. "Yes, full marks." Li Jinnan snorted lightly and said with a smile, "Humph." "If you don''t get full marks in the liberal arts exam, it will be too embarrassing." ... The martial arts exam would be officially held at 1:30 p.m., so time was tight. Every year, Qingshan Diyi Middle School would set up a resting area around each exam venue. It would provide the examinees of Qingshan Diyi Middle School with food, rest, and adjustment. Especially before the exam, they had to stay excited but not too nervous. "Lin Yuan!" As soon as Lin Yuan entered the door, Wu Di sat at the dining table and waved at Lin Yuan excitedly. Seeing Wu Di''s expression, Lin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. "What''s your score?" Sure enough, Wu Di raised his head and puffed out his chest. "126." "How about you? 150?" Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes." Everyone was not surprised by Lin Yuan''s perfect score. This was absolute capability. Out of ten times, Lin Yuan got a perfect score nine times. Among a few of them, only Song Cheng had a slightly solemn expression. After talking about each other''s results, Lin Yuanforted him. "It''s okay. The martial arts exam is the main point this afternoon." "It won''t affect much if you lose 10 or so points." Song Cheng''s usual score was around 125 points. He scored 109 points, which was a little abnormal. "Yeah, I know." "I just feel that it''s a pity that I didn''t perform my best." Lin Yuan patted Song Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let''s warm up togetherter." "Prepare well." ... The seemingly short time in the afternoon was actually very crucial for the examinees. Before the start of the College Entrance Examination for the martial arts exam, they had to mobilize their entire bodies to ensure that they were in an exciting fighting state. It was easier for them to perform to their best in terms of strength, speed, andbat events. Before the exam officially began in the afternoon, the atmosphere outside of Qingshan Diyi Middle School, one of the main exam halls of the College Entrance Examination, waspletely different. The examinees were nervous, but they were also exuding an amazing spirit. All the surrounding spectators were cheering for the examinees who were about to participate in the martial arts exam! "Students, this is an important hurdle in your lives. Don''t feel burdened by it. Perform your best!" ... "Qingshan Diyi Middle School will always be proud of you!" Li Jinnan held a megaphone and roared loudly. He constantly encouraged the martial arts examinees of Qingshan Diyi Middle School and stimted their fighting spirit! At the front of the team, eight level 3 martial artists, including Pei Xi, Jiang Yining, Lu Kai, and Wu Di, led the examinees of Qingshan Diyi Middle School into the examination room one after another! In other directions, teams from Dier Middle School, Disan Middle School, Disi Middle School, and private high schools also stepped into the exam hall one after another! Various roars seemed to rise at this moment. "Oh!!" "Go!" "Brothers, go!" Among the crowd of Diyi Middle School, roars rose one after another, and even Lin Yuan''s eyes emitted a shocking fighting spirit. This was their first enemy on the road of martial arts! The exam hall of Diyi Middle School was one of the main exam halls this year, and the whole school was divided into many areas. The exam hall of level 2 with six meridians, and the exam hall of level 2 with seven meridians... All the exam halls were outdoor, so it was easier to disy the highest level of a martial artist! "Level 2 with ten meridians." Lin Yuan took a deep breath and walked toward the area for level 2 with ten meridians ording to the arrangement of the staff in the exam hall. In each area, there was a team of soldiers wearing the blue military uniform of the Tianshui Kingdom standing in every corner of the area to prevent idents from happening. In the battle area, there was an entire team of doctors. In the battles of martial artists, especially in the Combat Test, once the fatal parts were attacked, it was easy for dangerous situations to ur. It was also to prevent idents from happening. Chapter 21: Strength 46.19 Points? Chapter 21: Strength 46.19 Points? The entire examination hall was divided into eight assessment zones. There were about 80,000 examinees in Qingshan City and the surrounding areas this year, and the eight meridians examination hall had thergest number of examinees. The ten meridians examination hall that Lin Yuan was in had thousands of people as far as the eye could see. Standing in the middle of the team, Lin Yuan kept taking small steps to adjust his muscles. As expected, he should be the most rxed examinee among all the examinees of the ten meridians examination hall. It was definitely not realistic for a ten-meridians martial artist to get into the top two colleges of the Tianshui Kingdom, Dongdu College and Clear Sky College. The most rational goal was to get into Binghai College, which had the lowest score among the five major colleges. The exact score they needed would depend on their liberal arts. Lin Yuan''s goal was the military academy. In the past five months, Lin Yuan had sessfully broken through to the realm of ten meridians. Along with the two great spirit skills, Basic Mechanization and Mechanized Crossbow, 240 points were guaranteed. Therefore, his overall condition was rtively rxed. Soon, when all the examinees had gathered, the chief examiner of this area stood up and read out the examination criteria. "This College Entrance Examination for the martial arts will be divided into six categories." "The first category is..." ... "Next, I will read out the examination criteria." "First, it is prohibited to interfere with the examination process of other examinees and affect the order of the examination venue." "Second, it is prohibited to bring a grade 2 spiritual weapon to participate in all the examination categories." ... "The invigtors of this examination venue will alle from the martial arts teachers of Luoyun City in Xiangjiang Province." "It is guaranteed to be fair, and open!" ... After all the exam criteria were read out and the examinees were sworn in, this year''s Martial Arts College Entrance Examination finally officially began. All the examinees were tested ording to their admission numbers. The entire exam hall suddenly became cruel from this moment on. Under the extremely tense environment, one examinee after another stepped into the exam hall. The results of the first test, Spirit Energy Test were a little more stable. When it came to Strength Test, the difference in performance was obvious. Under the double pressure of mentality and state, at least half of the examinees were unable to perform to their best. There was even one examinee from Disan Middle School who fell on the spot because his leg went weak when he punched! "No. 2210, Lin Yuan." "Checking." Lin Yuan handed the report card to the invigtor and confirmed the information. After standing in the scanning machine to confirm that there was no interspatial ring and grade two spiritual weapon, the invigtor nodded and said, "Go in." Lin Yuan took back his report card and finally began his Martial Arts College Entrance Examination. The moment he entered the area, Lin Yuan''s concentration was raised to the maximum. He focused on every test in front of him. No matter what college it was, the result of the martial arts was an important factor that determined the starting point. "Hu..." Lin Yuan stood in front of the first spirit energy testing machine and took a deep breath. Then, he mobilized his mechanical-type spirit energy and released it at full force! The score on the spirit energy testing machine continued to soar, and soon it exceeded 70. Finally, it stopped at 89.59. "Spirit energy 109?" "Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded silently. This result was simr to what he had expected. The total amount of 100 spirit energy was the basic requirement for training Mechanized Crossbow. However, this spirit energy score was not considered high among the ten-meridians martial artists. Many ten-meridians martial artists'' spirit energy score was 100, reaching the total amount of 120 spirit energy. ... The extremely tense and fast-paced atmosphere of the assessment did not affect Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan slowly walked to the second test, Strength Test, and the invigtor coldly reminded him, "One minute." Click! The report card was inserted into the card slot of the strength tester, and the Strength Test officially began. There was only one chance to punch, and it was a real test of a martial artist''s psychological quality. Lin Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. All the spirit energy in his body began to move and surge in his body. In an instant, ice-cold mechanical-type spirit energy was released, and Lin Yuan''s momentum rose rapidly! "Huh?" The invigtor felt Lin Yuan''s stable and extremely strong spirit energy. He raised his head in surprise and looked at Lin Yuan, who was umting his spirit energy. So far, the spirit energy released by this examinee was the most stable he had ever seen. This meant that Lin Yuan had strong confidence that was not shaken by pressure at all! Focused, released, and burst. "Grade-one ck Gold Stone..." "Mechanized!" The moment Lin Yuan opened his eyes, the mechanical energy of grade-one ck Gold Stone surged into Lin Yuan''s right fist. The moment his left foot stepped on the ground, it seemed to be rooted in the ground. Lin Yuan used his left foot as the axis, and with a ck-gold afterimage, he suddenly smashed toward the strength testing machine! "What''s going on?" At this moment, the invigtor''s eyes widened, and he did not even realize what had happened! Boom! With a loud sound, the score of Lin Yuan''s punch was also shown on the strength testing machine. 46.19. The invigtor''s pupils contracted when he saw the score. Even the brother who was warming up behind Lin Yuan was dumbfounded. 46.19? What kind of joke was that? This score could not be achieved even by a martial artist with eleven meridians. It was at least the result of a level three martial artist! "Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded silently. Facing the crucial Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, Lin Yuan had long been prepared. Among all the grade-one spirit stones, he chose the Back Gold Stone with extremely strong impact for Strength Test. With all six meridians of his hand opened, the strong impact of the mechanical-type spirit energybined with the ck Gold Stone''s mechanical energy. The force released was even stronger than some level three martial artists who had opened twelve meridians. Strength was also Lin Yuan''s advantage at the moment. "Wait a moment." "The examinees at the back, wait a moment." After seeing this result, the invigtor immediately contacted the person-in-charge of the examination room to confirm that Lin Yuan''s realm was correct. As the invigtor, their duty was to maintain the fairness of the examination. When there was an abnormal result, they would definitely report it. Generally speaking, the average score of ten-meridians martial artists who had opened six meridians of their hands would be around 36 points. The average score of eleven meridians could reach 38 points. Only a level three martial artist could reach 45 points or more. After waiting for half a minute, the chief invigtor of the examination venue personally came to the Strength Test area. The invigtor was full of vigor. This martial artist above level four said to Lin Yuan in a deep voice, "Rx, don''t resist." The invigtor put his big hand on Lin Yuan''s shoulder, and gentle spirit energy instantly passed through Lin Yuan''s body. Lin Yuan also saw a trace of surprise in the eyes of the invigtor. It was the first time he had seen a ten-meridians martial artist score more than 46 points in the Strength Test. "No problem." "Continue with the test." The invigtor nced at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan nodded and walked toward the next test, Speed Test. The sudden change did not affect Lin Yuan because Lin Yuan knew very well that there was no problem with his result. They had already confirmed his realm when they entered the assessment area. However, the sudden change had affected the brother behind him... The brother who had already finished adjusting and was ready to go felt that his rhythm had been cut off. This directly caused him not to be able to fully disy his strength in the Strength Test! In the end, he could only admit that he was unlucky and adjusted his state of mind to focus on the other tests, trying his best to avoid the chain reaction caused by his unbnced state of mind. ... The more nervous one was in the examination room, the more he could not bring out his full strength. After finishing the first two tests, Lin Yuan had already perfectly scored 135.78 points. "I''m safe now." With this score, there was no problem for him to score 240 points. The rest was to try his best to perform and sprint towards a higher score! Chapter 22: Examiner Zhou Tianyuan! Chapter 22: Examiner Zhou Tianyuan! It was important to perform on the spot in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, but more important was to prepare for the exam. Think about how to get the best results in each test, and how to deal with the follow-up battle and the Examiner Test. Lin Yuan''s Strength Test score of more than 46 points had obviously be the focus of the examination venue. Even the chief invigtor was paying attention to Lin Yuan''s exam situation at all times. The next test, Speed Test, was the weakest of the six tests that Lin Yuan felt. After all, only four of his six leg meridians had been opened. However, the weakness that Lin Yuan talked about was rtive to himself. "Bang!" With a gunshot, his left foot stomped on the ground and he rushed out like an arrow leaving the bow! With his powerful physical talent and the explosive power of his mechanical-type spirit energy, Lin Yuan''s speed was still the best among the ten-meridians martial artists. Beep-beep! As Lin Yuan crossed the finish line, the final score of 41.09 also appeared on the speed tester. This result is not as exaggerated as the result of Lin Yuan''s Strength Test, but it is also one of the best among the ten-meridians martial artists, second only to some speed-type martial artists! "Phew..." "Perfect performance." Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the result of the Speed Test. In thest martial arts mock exam of the school a month ago, Lin Yuan only got 37 points in Speed Test. On this day, he performed his best. Among the examinees who participated in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, there were far more who performed abnormally than those who performed better. Especially in the Speed and Strength Test, there was not much time for them to adjust. Whether the heart rate was stable or not would directly affect the results. In the Spirit Seed Test, Lin Yuan released his mechanical-type spirit seed, and without a doubt, he obtained a full score of 50.00! This was also the first top-grade spirit seed to appear in the ten meridians examination area. The chief invigtor nodded silently at the side. "I see." Lin Yuan''s results did not seem like the results of a ten-meridians martial artist who participated in the College Entrance Examination. It was like the results of a genius martial artist who was around 16 years old. There were only two possibilities in the eyes of the chief invigtor for those that were over 17 years old. The first possibility was that Lin Yuan did not work hard himself and only had talent. The second possibility was that Lin Yuan was amoner martial artist who did not have any resources. The world was cruel. As long as one had talent in martial arts, even if one did not work hard, one could get into a good martial arts academy. Hard work was important, but if one wanted to get results, one had to be talented. There were too many people who had talent and hard work at the same time. The average result of the previous years'' martial arts examinations, if nothing went wrong, a level three martial artist could easily get more than 300 points. The average score of the 11-meridians martial artists was 265 points. The average score of the 10-meridians martial artists was 251 points. ... "226.87." "There are quite a few martial artists from the 11-meridians martial artists who could pass the 300-point special recruitment line." "There should be none for 10-meridians martial artists." Lin Yuan held the report card that had finished the first four tests tightly. His eyes shed with confidence as he walked towards the direction of the Combat Test. The moment he finished the Speed Test, Lin Yuan had already set his target on the 300-point special recruitment line. His goal was to create history! With only two battle tests left to bepleted, Lin Yuan was 73.13 points away from the 300-point gap. This was the reason why he had been training crazily for the past six months! ... Click. Lin Yuan inserted the report card into the card slot of the Combat Test and instantly got the information of the next four battles. Candidate number: 210-2210 Candidate name: Lin Yuan 15:30 Arena No. 25 16:00 Arena No. 16 16:30 Arena No. 19 17:10 Arena No. 10. Examiner: Zhou Tianyuan Each arena was surrounded by a battle area, a warm-up area, and a viewing area. Lin Yuan looked at the time. It was only 2:51 p.m., and there were almost 40 minutes left before the first battle. He walked toward the area of Arena No. 10 without hesitation. He didn''t know who his opponent was for the three Combat Tests, so he couldn''t prepare in advance. However, thest Examiner Test allowed them to study their opponents in advance. "Level 3 martial artist, Zhou Tianyuan." All the Examiner Tests would be performed by professional martial arts teachers. Their realms were unified as level 3 martial artists, between "three gates" and "five gates". The Body Tempering Realm, simply put, was the tempered eight gates. There were eight major bottlenecks: xiumen, dumen, jingmen, shangmen, kaimen, jingmen, shengmen, and simen. Among them, xiumen was located between the corbone. Once a breakthrough was made, it could greatly improve the endurance and recovery ability of a martial artist. Dumen was located in the spine. Once a breakthrough was made, it could strengthen the bnce and explosive power of the body. Jingmen was located in the knees... ... Each of them was located in different parts of the body. Once a breakthrough was made, it would also strengthen the different attributes of a martial artist. Simr to the twelve meridians of a level two martial artist, the order of their breakthrough could be chosen ording to their own characteristics. All of them would undergo a transformation in different directions. If Lin Yuan were to break through to a level three martial artist, his first choice would definitely be to open the kaimen in his brain region to increase hisprehension and spirit energy, perfectly coordinating with the mechanical-type spirit seed. When he came to the surroundings of Arena No. 10, Lin Yuan saw thest examiner he had to face, Zhou Tianyuan. At this time, Zhou Tianyuan was fighting with a fire-type examinee, gradually applying pressure to test the limits of this examinee''sbat ability. Lin Yuan was not the only one around. There were also a few candidates who were going to face Zhou Tianyuanter. They were observing the examiner''s battle in advance. "Ice-type, it should be the Three Soul Mystic Ice." "The strength of the spirit seed is average." As Zhou Tianyuan continued to attack, Lin Yuan also silently chanted in his heart. "Qi path martial artist." "Ice cone." "Ice de." These were all basic ice-type spirit skills. Their biggest characteristic was their rapid condensation speed. The duration of the Examiner Test was five minutes. No matter how freakish Lin Yuan was, he could not defeat a level three martial artist who surpassed him so many levels. Therefore, his target in the Examiner Test was to persist for five minutes! At this moment, Lin Yuan circted his mechanical-type spirit energy and used his third mechanical-type spirit skill! "Mechanized Eye!" This mechanical-type spirit skill was given to Lin Yuan by Uncle Wu three months ago! The structure of the Mechanized Eye was simr to the core structure of the Spirit Energy Test machine, but it was not that precise. It was not difficult for Lin Yuan, who had a strong mechanical sense, to practice it. The mechanical energy quietly gathered in Lin Yuan''s eyes. When Lin Yuan raised his head to look at Zhou Tianyuan again, the rough spirit energy fluctuations on Zhou Tianyuan''s body could already be seen. "Xiumen, dumen, jingmen." "The first three gates." Lin Yuan could clearly see that the amount of spirit energy on Zhou Tianyuan''s corbone, spine, and knees was rtively outstanding. Because of his low cultivation level, Lin Yuan''s current Mechanized Eye could only do so much, and it could not be of much help in actualbat. It could not be helped even if it was a little useless. There were already very few mechanical-type spirit skills. After watching the two battles of examiner Zhou Tianyuan, Lin Yuan turned around and left Arena No. 10 to prepare for his first Combat Test. The strength of any ten-meridians martial artist was not to be underestimated. Moreover, in this kind of martial arts exam, every martial artist would prepare their trump card to ensure that they would get high marks in the Combat Test! Chapter 23: The Battle Style of the Mechanical-type! Chapter 23: The Battle Style of the Mechanical-type! The Combat Test was carried out in an orderly manner. Five examiners sat next to each fighting ring, grading both sides through the battle process. There were certain limitations to the actualbat ability assessment through this method, but it was fair to everyone. Oue had to be the first consideration in the Combat Test. "Number 2210, Lin Yuan." "Number 2491, Cao Yongyang." In the Arena No. 25, Lin Yuan and Cao Yongyang looked at each other. Cao Yongyang held a silver spirit sword in his hand. When he saw Lin Yuan bare-handed, he could not help but frown. In the Combat Test, having a weapon gave a very high boost to one''sbat ability. After all, thebat ability of a ten-meridians martial artist had not yet taken shape, so the spirit skills they had mastered were rtively limited. If someone dared toe up empty-handed, he was most likely an expert. "Begin." The central examiner in the fighting ring gave the order, and then pressed the five-minute countdown button. This was the longest time a battle couldst. After five minutes, even if there was no winner, the examiners would still give the score. "Ha!" Cao Yongyang roared at Lin Yuan, and then rushed at Lin Yuan with his spirit sword in hand. In a martial artist''s battle, if one''s aura could suppress one''s opponent, one would be at advantage! "What is he doing?" Cao Yongyang frowned slightly when he saw Lin Yuan''s posture of holding a sword. There was clearly nothing in Lin Yuan''s hand, but he instinctively felt that it was very dangerous. There was interspatial ring in this world, but it was not allowed to be carried in the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam. Lin Yuan''s inexplicable posture did not shake Cao Yongyang. Cao Yongyang''s Basic ming Sword Technique shed out, aiming for Lin Yuan''s body! At this moment, a scene that shocked Cao Yongyang and all the examiners suddenly appeared. "Mechanization!" "Spirit iron sword!" Lin Yuan''s mechanical-type spirit energy suddenly exploded. The mechanical energy of several spirit iron stones was almost simultaneously broken down and condensed by Lin Yuan. He was extremely familiar with it. A spirit iron sword was quickly condensed in Lin Yuan''s hand. The power was condensed at the tip of the sword and collided with the opponent''s spirit sword! In fact, the force of this head-on collision was not very strong. However, Cao Yongyang''s center of gravity was stillpletely lost in this collision! This was a mistake in the estimation of the impact force. Whether it was a martial artist or an ordinary person, there was a huge gap between the defensive ability that was prepared andpletely unprepared in the face of the impact because one did not know when the collision would ur. In fact, before the collision, the body and mind were already prepared to adapt to the next collision and adjusted the posture of the center of gravity. Cao Yongyang lost his center of gravity. How could Lin Yuan miss such a good opportunity? The scene that shocked the five examiners appeared once again. Lin Yuan held the mechanized spirit iron sword with both hands and swept it horizontally at Cao Yongyang! The sweeping sword in this posture looked extremely twisted. But at this moment, the spirit iron sword in Lin Yuan''s hand changed its form again in the blink of an eye. The sword changed into a spear and swept directly at Cao Yongyang''s waist! Bang! Cao Yongyang''s body drew an arc in the air and crashed heavily onto the ground! Just as he wanted to quickly get up again, Cao Yongyang felt the cold spirit iron spear pressing against his body. Beep, beep, beep. Seeing that the result had been determined, the examiners were surprised but still quickly pressed the button to end the battle. Lin Yuan let go of the spirit iron spear in his hand. The moment he let go, the spirit iron spear disintegrated in the air and returned to his waist as spirit iron. ... The five examiners looked at each other, seeing the confusion and surprise in each other''s eyes. It was not that they had not seen the world. They had really never seen such a scene! "Mechanical-type?" One of the examiners saw Lin Yuan''s information on the screen and did not know what fighting style the mechanical-type was. Lin Yuan''s current fighting style was very free. If a style should be given, then he could only be called the "unspecialized stream" for the moment. 50.00. A one-shot kill. Most people would get full marks if there was no special circumstance. Lin Yuan took the report card and slowly walked to the next arena. When he passed by Arena No. 10, he even took a look. Cao Yongyang''s face was ashen. He had done well in the previous few tests, but he did not expect to be defeated in the first round of the Combat Test. Moreover, he was killed in an instant! He had not been mentally prepared for this at all before the match. Usually, the score of the side that was killed in an instant would be extremely low. However, he was still relieved when he received the score of the first round. The score was slightly higher than he had imagined. It could be considered a blessing in disguise. The five examiners had probably given him some constion points because Lin Yuan had a rare spirit seed. ... Lin Yuan was a mechanical-type martial artist at this moment. With his mechanization ability, even Wu Di, a level three martial artist, had suffered a few losses at Lin Yuan''s hands. With a solid martial arts foundation, a strong burst of mechanical-type spirit energy, coupled with his godly skills, and his unpredictable mechanical-type spirit skills, if one was not particrly familiar with Lin Yuan, he would definitely be at a disadvantage in the first battle. This kind of Combat Test in the martial arts examination was really beneficial to Lin Yuan. Within the scope of ten-meridians martial artists, very few could win against Lin Yuan. Compared to the six-meridians fighting ring, Lin Yuan''s speed disadvantage was made up for. The increase in spirit energy led to an increase in controble mechanical energy, coupled with an increase in mechanized speed, Lin Yuan had already adjusted himself to his best condition before the martial arts examination. "I can make it!" When Lin Yuan stood on the second fighting ring, he patted his chest hard. The two opponents behind him were much weaker than Lin Yuan had imagined. He did not even spend much effort to achieve three consecutive insta-kills and obtain a full score of 50.00! This was actually not difficult to understand. Qingshan Diyi Middle School had always been one of the best middle schools in Qingshan City. The quality of the students was superior to that of other schools. The difference in martial arts foundation, spirit seed, andbat experience was evident here. Ten-meridians martial artists from Qingshan Diyi Middle School were generally stronger. ... "Thest battle." Below Arena No. 10, Lin Yuan crossed his hands and kept observing Zhou Tianyuan''s habit of releasing spirit skills andbat style. He thought to himself, "The battle n must be executed perfectly." Before the martial arts exam began, Lin Yuan had made a battle n to fight against a level-three martial artist with Wu Di''s full assistance. Because he did not know the examiner''s spirit seed type and specific strength, Lin Yuan analyzed a lot of possibilities. It was good news for Lin Yuan to have an ice-type Qi path martial artist as the examiner. The type of martial artist that Lin Yuan was most afraid of at the moment was the speed-type. In the world of martial arts, speed was the only thing that could not be broken. If one''s speed was at a disadvantage in a battle, they would naturally be in a passive position. Even if Lin Yuan''s speed had improved, it was still iparable to the speed of lightning-type and wind-type martial artists. A level two martial artist challenging a mature level three martial artist. As the challenger, Lin Yuan clearly knew that the victory rate was 0. There would not be any idents. However, it was not impossible to drag the battle for five minutes. "At the beginning, his sense of oppression would be very weak." "In two minutes, he will go from weak to strong, pushing the limits of the opponents." Lin Yuan muttered silently. In this kind of Examiner Test, the examiner would ask the examinee to show their full strength. Then, he would gradually increase the sense of oppression, to see where the examinee''s limit was. If he attacked with all his strength right at the beginning, then all the examinees would have the same result, and the exam would lose its meaning. These two minutes were actually rtively safe to the examinees. After two minutes, as Zhou Tianyuan''s rhythm increased and spirit energy was poured in, most of the ten-meridians examinees could not hold on anymore. This transition was the time Lin Yuan should counterattack. "I can''t hide after all." "I have to give him pressure through the counterattack." Lin Yuan thought calmly and kept rehearsing the battle process in his mind. Chapter 24: Five-minute Battle! (I) Chapter 24: Five-minute Battle! (I) After the first five tests ended, Lin Yuan''s total score had reached 276.87 points. There were still 23.13 points away from Lin Yuan''s target of 300 points. This seemingly low score was very difficult to get in the Examiner Test, especially in the category of level two martial artists. This test was like a "supplementary question" in the entire Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, which was prepared for level three martial artists. A level three martial artist''sbat strength was tyrannical. They could get more than 30 points. A level two martial artist''s basic score was not high. The full score of an eleven-meridians martial artist was 30 points, while the full score of a ten-meridians martial artist was 25 points. The martial artists before Lin Yuan had almost all scored between 10-20 points in the assessment. The examiner would give the score ording to the battle situation. Bang! An examinee was mercilessly thrown off the fighting ring by Zhou Tianyuan andnded not far from Lin Yuan. Zhou Tianyuan walked to the rest area and sat down. While drinking water, he was also slowly recovering his spirit energy. After pressing the 15-point button, a cold mechanical voice immediately sounded in the arena. "Next, No. 2210, Lin Yuan, get ready." Lin Yuan inserted the report card into the slot beside the fighting ring and went up to the fighting ring to warm up before the battle. After each candidate''s assessment, the examiner would be given a five-minute break to ensure that he would be in his best condition for the next battle. Gulp, gulp, gulp... The examiner Zhou Tianyuan, who was sitting on the other side, was drinking water and saw the next candidate''s information from the corner of his eyes. He stopped drinking water subconsciously and looked at the handsome young man who was warming up in the center of the fighting ring with his eyes wide open. "Mechanical-type?" "276.87 points?" Lin Yuan''s total score in the first five tests was shocking. Even if he only got 10-15 points in thest test, Lin Yuan could still achieve an extremely terrifying result. This result was even difficult for the eleven-meridians martial artists to achieve! "Interesting." Zhou Tianyuan smiled, feeling that the boring assessment process would have more fun. Generally speaking, geniuses with ten-meridians were very rare. The truly talented geniuses were mostly level three martial artists, while the less talented ones had eleven meridians. Therefore, it was difficult to see a high score in the category of ten-meridians martial artists. Lin Yuan, who was on the stage, was not particrly rxedpared to the previous few tests. He was seriously preparing. Against a real level three martial artist, he had to increase his concentration to the maximum. Soon, five minutes of warm-up time passed. Zhou Tianyuan excitedly went up to the fighting ring and looked into Lin Yuan''s eyes. He smiled and said, "We will begin after the bell rings." Lin Yuan had already fully mobilized his spirit energy, and all the muscles in his body were also ready. When the time on the side of the fighting ring jumped from 17:09:59 to 17:10:00. The bell rang for the start of the battle! Ding! Ding! Ding! Lin Yuan''s gaze was locked on Zhou Tianyuan. When he saw Zhou Tianyuan''s starting stance, he instantly reacted! "Ice de." "Right side!" The surroundings of Zhou Tianyuan''s body continuously emitted cracking sounds. The spirit energy condensed into an ice de and shot towards Lin Yuan from the right side. Lin Yuan suddenly stepped forward and dodged to the left side. The ice de was not fast. It hit the ring behind Lin Yuan and turned into broken ice! Crack! Lin Yuan was extremely calm. Almost all the examinees would choose tounch their strongest attack as soon as they started because they could disy their fullbat strength. However, Lin Yuan was extremely confident. He firmly believed that showing weakness to the enemy in the first two minutes would not affect his results. After two minutes, his ability would definitely be fully disyed! "Ice de." "Ice cone." Lin Yuan''s judgment was fully disyed in the previous minute. No matter how Zhou Tianyuan used his spirit skills, Lin Yuan could perfectly dodge it! "Huh?" Zhou Tianyuan was a little surprised by Lin Yuan''s performance. Up until this point, Lin Yuan had notunched an attack. He had been dodging. The best way to attack an ice-type Qi path martial artist who was good at long-range attacks was to shorten the distance between the two of them. Almost all the examinees had done so. "It''s just that his judgment is urate." Zhou Tianyuan shook his head silently. Perhaps he had expected too much from Lin Yuan? It was true that a true genius could not only have ten meridians. However, Lin Yuan had gotten a high score of 276 points for the first five tests. "Let me test him." Zhou Tianyuan looked at the calm Lin Yuan and condensed his ice-type spirit energy. His hands released sky-blue spirit energy! In an instant, the pressure on the field suddenly increased! "Level two spirit skill!" Lin Yuan did not expect Zhou Tianyuan to gradually increase the strength of his spirit skill at this time. When the sky-blue light rose, he subconsciously looked at the ground! "Ice spike!" Lin Yuan quickly reacted and jumped up. Sure enough, the next moment, the ground quickly cracked open, and an ice spike pierced out from the ground! "Huh?" Seeing Lin Yuan make an urate judgment again, Zhou Tianyuan''s expression became serious. He finally began to gradually increase the pace of his attack! Swish! Swish! Swish! Ice des continuously attacked Lin Yuan. The speed was extremely fast, and at the same time, it blocked many of Lin Yuan''s escape angles. Together with the ice spikes, the speed gradually increased! When the examiners who were observing the examinees saw this scene, they could not help but whisper, "F*ck!" "So fast!" "Who is this kid?" What surprised them was not the speed of the examiner''s ice des, but the uracy of Lin Yuan''s dodging! As a talented mechanical-type martial artist, Lin Yuan was best at calction and battlefield judgment. Every time Zhou Tianyuan released an ice de, Lin Yuan''s eyes would catch the information immediately. Then, through the feedback in his mind, he calcted the attack angle of the ice de and the location of thending point. It allowed him to make an urate judgment and find the most suitable dodging angle. However, Lin Yuan knew clearly that this kind of calction and prediction was based on the fact that both sides were equal in strength and the opponent''s spirit skill was more formic! Once the attack speed of the ice de exceeded Lin Yuan''s dodging speed, Lin Yuan could only... forcefully receive it! 17:11:57. After the first two minutes, Zhou Tianyuan started to disy an attack mode that exceeded the endurance of ten-meridians martial artists! The ice des attacked Lin Yuan like a storm. Two hidden ice des drew two shocking arcs from the side and suddenly attacked Lin Yuan from both sides. The speed was so fast that itpletely exceeded Lin Yuan''s dodging speed! "It''s time!" Lin Yuan''s eyes shed, and the mechanical-type spirit seed instantly exploded! Arge amount of grade-one spirit iron was instantly disintegrated and condensed by Lin Yuan. As he somersaulted to dodge the front ice des, a spirit iron shield appeared in each of his left and right hands! "What!" "What is this thing!" The sudden condensation and transformation made the examinees below the fighting ring widen their eyes in surprise. Even Zhou Tianyuan was no exception! Boom! Boom! Two heavy ice des smashed onto the two shields, making two muffled sounds. The strength of a level three martial artist made Lin Yuan''s arms tremble slightly. Afternding on the ground, Lin Yuan did not stop at all. He stepped forward with his left foot, and his center of gravity suddenly moved forward! The two shields in his hands instantly condensed into a long spear! He threw it at Zhou Tianyuan! The spirit iron long spear broke through the air. This was also the first time that Lin Yuan attacked in this battle! The sudden change was something that even Zhou Tianyuan did not expect. After Lin Yuan threw the spirit iron long spear, his attention waspletely attracted by the spear. "It''s not a spirit skill!" Just when Zhou Tianyuan''s attention was attracted by the spear, Lin Yuan suddenly stomped on the ground and shortened the distance between them. At the same time, he used the only spirit skill, "Mechanized Crossbow"! The several different types of grade-one spirit stones on Lin Yuan''s waist were all disintegrated in two seconds. In Lin Yuan''s hands, a crossbow that was shining with silver-gray spirit energy was quickly formed! "ck Gold Stone..." "Disintegrate!" Chapter 25: Five-minute Battle! (II) Chapter 25: Five-minute Battle! (II) This was Lin Yuan''s only grade-one ck Gold Stone, and it was extremely expensive. However, in terms of lethality, it was ranked first among all of Lin Yuan''s grade-one spirit stones. Thepletion of the "Mechanized Crossbow" was extremely difficult. Its semi-automatic assembly structure required a martial artist to control multiple types of spirit stone mechanical energy at the same time toplete the assembly. What directly increased the power of the Mechanized Crossbow was the bolt. Lin Yuan had tried it before. The mechanical energy of this grade-one ck Gold Stone could only condense five bolts at most! In just one or two seconds, Lin Yuan''s counterattack had already arrived. A ck gold bolt had already been ced on the Mechanized Crossbow''s "arrow path"! Lin Yuan''s mechanical spirit energy crazily poured into it. The Mechanized Crossbow''s bowstring was pulled open, and the silver-gray light on the Mechanized Crossbow became even brighter! Bang! Whoosh! As Lin Yuan released it, a dark-gold light pierced through the fighting ring and shot toward Zhou Tianyuan''s eyes at an astonishing speed! The examinees watching the battle below the fighting ring werepletely dumbfounded. "What?" "He can still counterattack!" "He''s too strong..." Even if they were below the fighting ring, they could feel how strong Lin Yuan''s attack was. This guy could actually counterattack at this time? Lin Yuan''s mind was extremely calm. When he shot out this strongest ck gold bolt, he had already begun to predict Zhou Tianyuan''s movements in advance andplete the battle n! "Elementary Ice Wall." "There shouldn''t be any gaps in the front." "Then the gaps are only..." ... Sensing this ck-gold bolt with extraordinary spirit energy fluctuations, Zhou Tianyuan''s eyes gradually lit up. The power of this ck-gold bolt hadpletely surpassed the attack range of a level two martial artist. The release method of this mechanical-type spirit skill was extremely special, and the angle was extremely tricky! It went straight for Zhou Tianyuan''s eyes! "Not bad." Zhou Tianyuan gradually became excited. The young man''sbat ability hadpletely exceeded his expectations. The ck-gold bolt shot straight at Zhou Tianyuan''s face, but it was simply impossible to defeat a level 3 martial artist with just a ck-gold bolt. Ice-type spirit energy condensed, and the spirit skill Elementary Ice Wall was released. A small ice wall instantly condensed in front of Zhou Tianyuan! Ding! Crack! The ck-gold bolt shot into the ice wall. Even the ice wall released by a level three martial artist had spider-web-like cracks. One could imagine how powerful the bolt was. The moment the cracks spread, Zhou Tianyuan temporarily lost Lin Yuan in his vision. "Now is the time!" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up. A white spear quickly condensed in his right hand. The tip of the spear stabbed into the ground heavily. The entire white spear showed amazing sticity. The kic energy was converted into stic potential energy, helping Lin Yuan to fly in the air in a way that was close to the pole vault! "I..." "F*ck..." The brothers who were preparing for the battle below the stage gradually raised their heads to look at the sky along with Lin Yuan''s posture. Their mouths slightly widened, and all of their exmations were stuck in their throats. ... The mechanical energy used for this long white spear came from grade-one Dolomite. The grade-one Dolomite was usually used to make weapons, but most of the time, it was used to make the spear barrel of a "bouncing spear". It was very flexible. When facing a level three martial artist, Lin Yuan set his target above Zhou Tianyuan when he couldn''t attack him from the front! When the ice wall in front of Zhou Tianyuan disappeared, Lin Yuan hadpletely disappeared from Zhou Tianyuan''s field of vision. "Above!" The reaction and perception of a level three martial artist far surpassed level two martial artists. However, when Zhou Tianyuan raised his head, the Mechanized Crossbow in Lin Yuan''s hand had already shot out colorful bolts again! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Lin Yuan raised hisbat ability to the maximum and released itpletely without holding back. Bolts of different power fell from the sky one after another, and their momentum reached the maximum under the eleration! Zhou Tianyuan had no choice but to activate his ice-type defensive spirit skill, Ice Wall! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! As the continuous bolts hit the ice wall released by Zhou Tianyuan, Lin Yuan''s figure also fell from the sky gracefully, and he pounced on Zhou Tianyuan like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. The continuous shooting of the Mechanized Crossbow was still a feint. The most important tactical goal was to decrease the distance between Zhou Tianyuan without causing any injury! "Even if he''s a level three martial artist." "He can''t condense two spirit skills at the same time." "Since I can''t dodge it, I won''t let you attack me!" ... "He is getting close!" "Lin Yuan is getting close!" "Is the examiner being suppressed?" "Is that Lin Yuan?" Some of the passing examinees stopped by when they saw Lin Yuan bombarding Zhou Tianyuan. There was only shock in their eyes when they saw the situation between them. Since Lin Yuanunched his counterattack, he had started a three-minute countdown in his heart. Even without looking at the timer beside the fighting ring, Lin Yuan could roughly estimate the time. All the examinees with ten meridians knew very well that they could not win against a level three martial artist. However, only Lin Yuan had been thinking about how to restrict his opponent! The overall speed of a level three martial artist was more superior to a level two martial artist. If he kept dodging and defending, as long as a level three martial artist was slightly stronger, Lin Yuan would definitely lose. The first three gates opened by Zhou Tianyuan were "xiumen", "dumen", and "jingmen". He did not choose "shangmen" which would increase his spirit energy and control, or "kaimen" which would increase his perception and mental power. This also meant that the examiner in front of him, Zhou Tianyuan, could not release two differentplete spirit skills at the same time. As long as he released the Elementary Ice Wall, it meant that he could not release offensive spirit skills. Then the pressure and threat that Lin Yuan received would be greatly reduced. Previously, when he was watching the examinees fight, all the examinees with ten meridians knew very well that they should stay close to the examiner. However, they thought too simply. The methods they used were mostly to dodge or attack forcefully. How could a level three Qi path martial artist let a mere level two martial artist get close to him? With a few spirit skills, they were defeated. ... Lin Yuan was a martial artist who used his brain to fight. His calction ability was strong. When he was below the fighting ring, he had already thought of aplete battle n and achieved a perfect close distance between them. Boom. Lin Yuannded steadily on the ice wall that Zhou Tianyuan had released. The Mechanized Crossbow in his hand disappeared and was reced by a spirit iron long spear! Crack! Crack! Crack! At the same time the ice wall shattered, Lin Yuan suddenlynded. He waved the spirit iron long spear in his hand and swung it at Zhou Tianyuan with all his strength! Zhou Tianyuan, who had rich battle experience, did not panic. He condensed Three Souls Mystic Ice in his hand. The level three martial artist released all of his spirit energy and shed directly with Lin Yuan! Boom!! "What a powerful strength!" At the same time, Lin Yuan and Zhou Tianyuan eximed in their hearts. Lin Yuan''s strength hadpletely exceeded the scope of a ten-meridians martial artist. As a level three martial artist, Zhou Tianyuan, who had opened dumen, had much more strength and explosive power than Wu Di, who was also a level three martial artist. If Zhou Tianyuan were to do a Strength Test, he could easily achieve a full score of 50 points. Lin Yuan suffered a great loss in this head-on collision, and his entire body was sent flying. Qi path and weapon path were just two basic directions. It did not mean that Qi path martial artists did not have any closebat ability. As long as one mastered a spirit skill, it was impossible for them to not have closebat ability. It was just that they were slightly weakerpared to weapon path martial artists. The huge gap between their realms, strength, and speed could not be eliminated just because of a level two martial artist''s closebat. While Lin Yuan was sent flying, a smile hung on his face. "He used his full strength." As a level three martial artist examiner, Zhou Tianyuan used his full strength in this attack! Chapter 26: Five-minute Battle! (III) Chapter 26: Five-minute Battle! (III) There was a huge gap between a level two and level three martial artist. Lin Yuan had achieved his tactical goal by forcing the examiner to use his full strength! "Once I get close, I''ll have a natural advantage." Lin Yuan thought very clearly. The spirit iron spear in his hand kept stabbing at Zhou Tianyuan! This battle was actually not fair because both sides had different identities. Zhou Tianyuan was the examiner, and Lin Yuan was the examinee. Lin Yuan''s advantage was that he dared to attack the examiner with all his strength. However, Zhou Tianyuan did not dare to attack Lin Yuan with all his strength! For a level two martial artist yet to advance to Body Tempering Realm, if Zhou Tianyuan could not control his spirit energy properly in closebat, it was very likely that Lin Yuan would be seriously injured! "Four minutes!" Lin Yuan muttered in his heart and used all his strength at the same time. Zhou Tianyuan''s eagle-like ice ws wed at Lin Yuan''s arm, leaving bloody marks on Lin Yuan''s arm. The waves of paining from his arm made Lin Yuan let out a muffled groan. The three bloody marks on his arm also shocked Zhou Tianyuan, and he withdrew some of his strength. However, Lin Yuan''s Basic Martial Arts, as well as his judgment and reaction in closebat, were fully disyed in this battle. Lin Yuan''s nerves reacted in an instant. He quickly shook off Zhou Tianyuan and pulled a distance away from him. At the same time, he turned the spear into a rod. The strongest power waspletely condensed and he swung it at Zhou Tianyuan''s face. The rhythm of the attack did not seem like a level two martial artist! "He can still react?" Zhou Tianyuan released an ice wall to block the strike. He was extremely shocked. ... During the months of preparing for the martial arts exam, Lin Yuan trained and fought with Wu Di, a speed-type lightning-type martial artist, almost every day. Although he had been defeated by Wu Di countless times, Lin Yuan''s mental reaction and his ability to adapt to fast-paced battles had improved tremendously! In terms of speed in closebat, Zhou Tianyuan was not as fast as Wu Di! "How long has it been!" "4 minutes 35..." "F*ck..." There were not many examinees watching from below the fighting ring, but the shock in their hearts was indescribable. They kept looking at the time beside the fighting ring. There were less than 30 seconds left in the five-minute battle time! The more Zhou Tianyuan fought, the weaker his attacks became. As the examiner, Zhou Tianyuan did not want to fight with the examinees to determine the winner. Once he attacked with his full strength, Lin Yuan would definitely find it hard to defend and he would be easily injured. Through the entire battle, Lin Yuan''s score was already known to Zhou Tianyuan. "Beep beep beep..." Five minutes finally arrived. As the bell rang for the end of the battle, Zhou Tianyuan also took the initiative to withdraw from the battle area. "Hu..." "Hu..." Lin Yuan, who had almost used up all of his spirit energy, half-squatted on the fighting ring and panted heavily. This battle had brought hisbat ability to the extreme. Every time they collided, Zhou Tianyuan''s casual attack would be blocked with his full strength. The high intensity of the fight made his hands go soft, and blood oozed out from the wounds on his arms. Zhou Tianyuan looked at Lin Yuan with surprise and doubt. He was thinking, how could there be such a martial artist in this world? "276 points." "No wonder." After the fight, the examiner went straight back to the resting area. When he read Lin Yuan''s information again, he finally understood why Lin Yuan could get such a high score in the first five tests! "Excellentbat reading ability." "urate judgment." "Combat ability that is beyond the realm." "Terrifying..." Zhou Tianyuan sighed and decisively pressed for a full score of 25 points. In his opinion, Lin Yuan had already exceeded the limit of what he could imagine for a martial artist with ten meridians. Moreover, Lin Yuan was only 24 points away from the special recruitment line of 300 points. Zhou Tianyuan would not let such a genius martial artist be buried just because of one or two points! After Zhou Tianyuan got off the fighting ring, Lin Yuan quickly picked up all the mechanized bolts that he had shot. A single ck gold mechanized bolt was worth tens of thousands of yuan. Lin Yuan was not rich to such an extent. After Zhou Tianyuan pressed the full score, Lin Yuan''s report card in the card slot shed. The sixth test was officially over, and Lin Yuan''s martial arts exam was officially over! Candidate name: Lin Yuan Candidate number: 210-2210 Major: Mechanical-type Spirit Energy Test: 89.59 Strength Test: 46.19 Speed Test: 41.09 Spirit Seed Test: 50.00 Combat Test: 50.00 Examiner Test: 25.00 Total score: 301.87 Even Lin Yuan clenched his fists and was excited when he got the final result. "Let''s start from here." Lin Yuan''s eyes shone with extreme confidence as he slowly left the martial arts examination hall that he had prepared for a long time! The first mountain in front of him was crossed just like that! "He actuallysted for five minutes in the Examiner Test..." The other examinees who were preparing for the test watched Lin Yuan leave Arena No. 10 as if they were watching a monster. One of the examinees from Qingshan Diyi Middle School couldn''t calm down for a long time. It was hard to say whether it would have a positive or negative effect on the examinees after witnessing such a battle. However, the continuous five-minute battle had consumed a lot of Zhou Tianyuan''s energy. He could use eight minutes to recover his spirit energy after finishing off the examinees in the first two minutes. However, Lin Yuan''s move only gave him four to five minutes to recover. Soon, the examinees stepped onto the fighting ring at 17:20. Even if a level three martial artist had opened xiumen, his recovery ability was not that exaggerated. When he stepped onto the fighting ring again for the assessment, Zhou Tianyuan was not in his best condition because of this five-minute battle. ... The martial arts examination recording desk. After all the categories of the martial arts exam had beenpleted, all the examinees would register their report cards here. This would be considered as officiallypleting all the tests of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination. After a few rechecks, Lin Yuan submitted the report card and signed his name. "Lin Yuan, score 301.87, confirmed." Click. With the report card officially inserted into the College Entrance Examination result recorder, Lin Yuan''s Martial Arts College Entrance Examination officially ended! "Hu..." ... Outside the school, at the rest area of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. A few teachers were fervently discussing Qingshan Diyi Middle School''s excellent results so far. There were very few level three martial artists, so its overall assessment speed was the fastest. Before 5 p.m., all the assessments had beenpleted. Jiang Yining, Lu Kai, Pei Xi, and Wu Di all had excellent results. Lu Kai''s martial arts score had even reached 345 points. He was very likely to be the champion of this year''s Martial Arts College Entrance Examination! After the level 3 martial artists obtained good results, the school''s attention naturally fell on the level 2 martial artists who were at the level of the top five academies. Combined with liberal arts results, a few teachers would nod their heads in satisfaction whenever there was an examinee who had a total score of more than 365 points. The better the results this year, they would be able to use the results to advertise. "There shouldn''t be any changes in the ranking of the first eight." "Yup." The top eight in the martial arts examination were the eight level three martial artists of Diyi Middle School. It waspletely unrealistic for the eleven-meridians martial artists to surpass this result. Just as the teachers were discussing happily, one of them pressed the refresh button. Suddenly, a name called Lin Yuan rushed to the front! Chapter 27: Truth Accepted Chapter 27: Truth epted This teacher was stunned for a moment. Then, he moved closer to the screen to make sure that his eyes were not ying tricks on him. No matter who got good results, this teacher was full of joy. But when he saw Lin Yuan''s name, this teacher waspletely shocked! "F*ck,e and take a look!" The surrounding teachers were in a good mood. When they saw Mr. Luo''s expression, they teased him. "Old Luo, be more steady." "It''s been more than ten years, why are you still so surprised?" "Is there another good..." A few teachers came over, thinking that there might be an eleven-meridians martial artist broke through 300 points and got into the top ten. However, in the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces. "I..." "F*ck!" The Score Record of Martial Arts Department of Qingshan City Diyi Middle School (real-time): 1: Jiang Yining; Liberal Arts: 148.00; Martial arts: 324.79; Total: 472.79 2: Pei Xi; Liberal Arts: 137.00; Martial arts: 329.11; Total: 466.11 3: Jiang Yuxuan; Liberal Arts: 109.00; Martial Arts: 343.00; Total: 452.00 4: Lin Yuan; Liberal Arts: 150.00; Martial Arts: 301.87; Total: 451.87 5: Wu Di; Liberal Arts: 126.00; Martial Arts: 319.00; Total: 445.00 ... A name that no one could have thought of had directly rushed to the fourth ce in the martial arts scores of Qingshan City Diyi Middle School! "301 points?!" "Lin Yuan got 301 points?" Seeing such a terrifying result, even Lu Zhun, who was mentally prepared for Lin Yuan''s good result, was dumbfounded. If the scores of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination exceeded 300 points, one could choose any martial arts academy in the Tianshui Kingdom. Lin Yuan got more than 450 points. Even without the special recruitment line, he could easily enroll in Dongdu College and Sky Clear College. After a long time, Li Jinnan said with a trembling voice, "How... did he manage to do that?" All the teachers looked at Lu Zhun. He was the only one who had talked to Lin Yuan during the mock exam. Lin Yuan had just broken through ten meridians in the mock exam a month ago, and he easily got around 245 points in the mock exam. Therefore, Lu Zhun estimated that Lin Yuan''s martial arts exam result would be around 260 points. Who would have thought that Lin Yuan would directly get 300 points?! During the mock exam, Lin Yuan had not fully mastered the grade-one ck Gold Stone mechanical energy. Moreover, he had just learned the spirit skill "Mechanized Crossbow". In addition, his spirit energy was 10 points lower back then. The overallbat state was different. For all these reasons, Lin Yuan had onlypleted the feat of 300 points with ten-meridians. Currently, it was not possible to see Lin Yuan''s exact score for each of the tests, but the school management had already taken action! "Quick! Quick!" "Get the back office to make an electronic poster!" "Spread the word!" "Right away!" "Do it alone! It must be ready before the martial arts exam ends!" Lu Zhun, Li Jinnan, and the other teachers'' hearts were beating rapidly. Lin Yuan''s result was even more meaningful than the outstanding result of a level three martial artist! What was the background of a level three martial artist? 80% of them were geniuses from aristocratic families! The gap between such geniuses from aristocratic families and 99% of ordinary martial artists was too big. However, Lin Yuan was different. He was from an ordinary family and worked hard. He had a full score in the liberal arts and surpassed the special enrollment line in the martial arts exam. His total score was the fourth in the whole school, and he could be in the top ten in the whole city. This kind of result was too meaningful for ordinary families because there were too manymoner martial artists who were talented in the vast Qingshan City. Even without the resources of the aristocratic families, as long as they worked hard enough in both liberal arts and martial arts, it was definitely not a dream to get into the top five colleges! Before the College Entrance Exam, the school had already prepared all kinds of posters in advance, just waiting for the numbers to be filled in. However, Lin Yuan''s sudden outburst made the Technical Department of the school start to work quickly. "Quick, quick, quick!" Li Jinnan quicklymanded in the rest area. "Old Luo, go and contact the media." "Old Lu, go and bring Lin Yuan here. I''ll contact the school!" As the person in charge of liberal arts, Li Jinnan''s ability to handle school affairs was second to none. His heart was thumping wildly. If he couldplete this matter perfectly, his future would be bright! ... "Phew, it''s finally over." Lin Yuan felt rxed when he stepped out of the exam hall. During the past six months, Lin Yuan had been very tense. He knew very well that if he did not cultivate with all his strength, he might lose the path of advancement. His dream in this life was only two words - keep advancing! Fortunately, all his efforts were worth it. 301 points were the limit of what Lin Yuan could achieve. Even if he took the exam ten times more, it would be difficult to break through this point. Compared to the morning, the spotlight in the afternoon was obviously not on Lin Yuan. However, as soon as he left the school gate, Lin Yuan heard a familiar voice calling out to him. "Lin Yuan!" "Lin Yuan!" Lu Zhun and the other two teachers waved their hands and pulled Lin Yuan out of the crowd. "Did you get 300 points?" Lu Zhun lost his usual calmness and patted Lin Yuan excitedly. Lin Yuan looked at the teachers who were even more excited than him and nodded. "Uh, yea." "Do you know that you are now fourth in the whole school?" Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized that Lu Zhun was talking about the total score. "Fourth?" "It doesn''t mean much." Lin Yuan swore that he had never thought of this. After all, the score of his liberal art was full, which was a lot higher than others. For a genius martial artist like Lu Kai, he scored first in the martial arts exam with 345 points, while he only scored 83 points in the liberal arts exam. The total score was only 428 points. After arriving at the martial arts academy, it all depended on one''s martial arts ability. Hearing Lin Yuan''s words, Lu Zhun immediately retorted, "Who says it doesn''t mean much!" "You''re a ten-meridians martial artist!" Lu Zhun hugged Lin Yuan and continued, "Tonight, after all the martial arts exams are over, there will be an exclusive interview with the media." "Exclusive interview?" Lu Zhun nodded, "Yes, you can just answer ordinglyter." "Advertise the school more and focus on the main subject you study, Basic Martial Arts." "The school will reward you with a mechanical-type spirit skill!" The school was so generous that Lin Yuan figured out the reason after thinking for a while. They wanted to use his sess to attract more talented young martial artists so that the quality of the students in Diyi Middle School would improve! Lin Yuan thought about it and nodded. "Okay." "No problem." Lu Zhun heaved a sigh of relief and patted Lin Yuan''s shoulder with a smile. Lin Yuan did not ept the interview for the reward of the mechanical-type spirit skill from the school. Well, it was half of the reason. The other half was because of his father, Lin Shouyi. After Lin Yuan gained a little fame, Lin Shouyi and Zhao Lan were attacked from different sides. Zhao Lan even heard from her neighbors that she was "evil". She was crying and screaming for revenge. However, Lin Shouyi tried his best to stop Zhao Lan from disturbing Lin Yuan''s preparation for the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination. Ever since that day, Lin Shouyi''s originally peaceful family had not been able to live a peaceful life. Whether Lin Shouyi was a good father? Perhaps he was not. However, Lin Yuan was very sure that blood was thicker than water. Lin Shouyi treated him like his own son. Coincidentally, Lin Yuan could use this opportunity to rify the rumors. ... In the rest area. "Ahhhh..." When Wu Di saw that he was the fifth in the school and Lin Yuan was the fourth, he held his head and cried out in pain! He should be the only one who knew that Lin Yuan would definitely get high marks because he had witnessed Lin Yuan''s rapid progress. It was also him who helped Lin Yuan prepare for the examiner''s battle. Since the two of them had agreed to enter the military academy, the exact score was not important. However, he did not expect Lin Yuan''s total score to surpass his! "Brother, ept the truth." Lin Yuan patted Wu Di''s shoulder and sighed slightly. Chapter 28: Officially Began Chapter 28: Officially Began Even though the liberal arts scores were not important in the eyes of these specially-recruited candidates, Lin Yuan had indeed surpassed Wu Di in the martial arts scores. This was an irond truth. Wu Di looked dejected. "Forget it." "Hey, how did you get 300 points?" Lu Zhun had already asked this question once before. Lin Yuan answered truthfully, "Full marks in thest three categories." Wu Di was surprised. "Full marks in the Examiner Test?" Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes." "F*ck... How did you do it?" The two of them sat together and began to discuss the assessment process. Wu Di obtained three full marks, namely spirit energy, speed, and spirit seed. Lin Yuan also obtained three full marks, namely spirit seed,bat, and examiner. ... As the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam progressed, countless citizens of Qingshan City were watching the extraordinary exam of this year in real-time. Especially after this year''s prodigies reached the top martial arts academy, there would be many opportunities for exposure in the media. The citizens of Qingshan City would definitely support the martial arts prodigies from their hometown. As the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam results of various academies were gradually released, the biggest winner this year was undoubtedly Qingshan City Middle High School! "Lu Kai will definitely excel in martial arts exam this year, but not necessarily the champion of the Martial Arts Department." "I heard that there are a lot of young talents in Diyi Middle School this year, eight level three martial artists." "Yeah, the results should be out soon." On the speeding subway, Lin Shouyi, who was returning home from work, kept refreshing the campus website of Qinghan Diyi Middle School, waiting for the results of Lin Yuan''s martial arts exam. After the exam, Lin Yuan, Wu Di, and a few leaders of the academy prepared to participate in the exclusive interview. Lin Yuan didn''t contact Lin Shouyi at the first moment. Generally speaking, the results of the exam that ended at 7:30 pm could be checked at 8 pm after the school had sorted it out. "It''s out!" Suddenly, a low voice sounded in the subway. In this world where martial arts were prevalent, even ordinary people paid great attention to martial arts. Lin Shouyi quickly refreshed the page. All of a sudden, two shocking posters on the front page of Qingshan City Diyi Middle School caught Lin Shouyi''s eyes! "Congrattions to our school''s student Lu Kai, who scored 345.00 points in the martial arts exam, ranked first in Qingshan City''s Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, and obtained the top scorer in the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam!" "Congrattions to our school''s martial arts practitioner, Lin Yuan, for creating history! With a total score of 451.87 points, he ranked tenth in the entire city''s Martial Arts Department!" "Lin Yuan!" Lin Shouyi saw the familiar youth on the poster, and his hand trembled, and his phone fell to the ground with a thud. The surrounding office workers were also discussing fervently. "Lin Yuan? That Lin Yuan?" "Holy sh*t! A ten-meridians martial artist with 451 points?" "What the hell?" In his panic, Lin Shouyi quickly picked up his phone and clicked on the poster. This poster was even more eye-catching than the poster of Lu Kai as the top scorer! With a perfect score of 150 in the liberal arts and 300 in the martial arts, such a result instantly made it into the top three on the topic list of Qingshan City! Lin Shouyi waspletely stunned when he saw this result. As a father, he didn''t even know his son''s true strength. One could imagine how much of a failure he was as a father! There was also a link on the official website of Qingshan Diyi Middle School, which was an exclusive interview with the examinees of Diyi Middle School. Lin Shouyi hurriedly clicked in and saw Lin Yuan being interviewed by the media. ... In the media room. The five student representatives of Qingshan City sat on two sides. The three people sitting in the middle were the principal of Diyi Middle School, Zhao Shicai, the head of the Liberal Arts Department, Li Jinnan, and the martial arts teacher, Lu Zhun. These five students were Lu Kai, Lin Yuan, Wu Di, Jiang Yuxuan, and Pei Xi, who had just achieved good results. Jiang Yining, whom Wu Di had been longing for, went home straight after the martial arts exam. The principal, Zhao Shicai, was smiling from ear to ear as he announced the good results of the College Entrance Examination for the Martial Arts Department of Diyi Middle School. Jiang Yining ranked second in the total score for the Martial Arts Department of the city. The four students of Diyi Middle School were in the top ten with their respective total scores, and Lin Yuan ranked tenth. For the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, Lu Kai and Jiang Yuxuan were ranked first and second respectively! "p...!" The media room was filled with warm apuse. Then, the official media of the Martial Arts Association changed the topic to Lu Kai and Lin Yuan, especially Lin Yuan. Zhao Shicai personally handed the microphone to Lin Yuan with an encouraging smile. "Thank you Diyi Middle School for fostering me. Thanks to Mr. Li, Mr. Lu, and Elder Yang, my tutor for Basic Martial Arts." "They are all..." Lin Yuan''s official words made the leaders nod their heads. In Lin Yuan''s experience, the training of Basic Martial Arts was the focus. Naturally, it attracted the curiosity of the media. Lin Yuan repeated exactly what the leaders had taught him. "The Basic Martial Arts is the foundation of a martial artist. The teachers of the Basic Martial Arts in Diyi Middle School are very responsible." "Even if you are ordinary martial artists without resources, you might still get a chance to get into the top ten of the College Entrance Exam." Li Jinnan smiled even more. He exchanged a look with the principal and saw the satisfaction in thetter''s eyes. The rise of a civilian martial artist like Lin Yuan would definitely bring a whirlwind to Diyi Middle School! Facing thest question, Lin Yuan gave his junior some advice. "Don''t waste time." "And don''t be affected by the media attention." "The previous reports about my family werepletely groundless. I hope these rumors will stop here." ... When Lin Shouyi heard Lin Yuan''s words on the subway, tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes. When Lin Shouyi reached home, Zhao Lan sat in front of the television with a nk expression. The many arguments she had with Lin Shouyi had made her more haggard. "Did you see that?" Lin Shouyi sat on the sofa and asked Zhao Lan. He had just intercepted Lin Yuan''sst sentence and sent it directly to Zhao Lan''s phone. Zhao Lan was silent. After a long time, she slowly said three words, "I''m sorry." Lin Shouyi sighed slightly. "I''ve told you before, Lin Yuan is not that kind of child." The previous few articles had indeed had a great negative impact on Lin Shouyi and Zhao Lan''s lives. At that time, Lin Yuan had been focused on preparing for the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam and had note forward to rify. This also made Zhao Lan suspect that Lin Yuan had intentionally leaked the news. Lin Shouyi looked at Zhao Lan. "Calm down, calm down. He doesn''t need an apology." "Not disturbing him is the best way to apologize." ... Lin Yuan indeed did not need Zhao Lan''s apology. After all in his heart, Zhao Lan had nothing to do with him. After the interview, Lin Yuan and Wu Di went to the vi to change their clothes. They were ready to go out and get drunk with their brothers! In this Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, they all got good results. Even Song Cheng had a breakthrough. "Hurry up, Song Cheng and the others have been waiting for a long time." "Just now, my dad gave me a sum of money. Today, it''s my treat!" Wu Di patted his chest and said boldly. Although Fang Zixin was from an aristocratic family with a lot of resources, he was far less generous than Wu Di in terms of money. Wu Di''s performance in the martial arts exam was equally outstanding. When Wu Dafu saw that Wu Di ranked 13th in the city, he was overjoyed and immediately transferred arge sum of money for him to treat others! The moment the College Entrance Exam ended, the martial arts path of the younger generation was only about to begin officially. Chapter 29: Graduation, Farewell Chapter 29: Graduation, Farewell Three dayster, the campus of Qingshan Diyi Middle School was in full swing. All kinds of good news spread throughout the campus. By the time Lin Yuan and Wu Di returned to the campus, their reputations werepletely different from before. "Hello, Senior Wu." "Hello, Senior Lin." "Hello!" Seeing the pretty little junior sisters greet him, Wu Di was a little smug and responded enthusiastically. In the past three days, after reviewing the exam results and confirming that there were no mistakes, the freshmen filled out their applications on the martial arts website. They had returned to school to participate in the graduation ceremony. They would also receive their graduation certificates and files. These were all to be handed over to the martial arts academy. In front of the dojo, arge group of people gathered together, and their discussions resounded throughout the sky. "Military academy?" "F*ck, Jiang Yining, Lin Yuan, and Wu Di all want to enroll in the military academy!" "It''s rare for geniuses like them to apply for military academy..." "I can understand Lin Yuan, but I can''t understand the other two." Seeing that Wu Di and Lin Yuan had arrived, many people made way for them while their eyes filled with respect. Therge red posters outside the dojo were all good news. Lin Yuan looked intently. Good News (1) Liberal Arts: Chen Xiaoqi has won first ce in the liberal arts in Qingshan City! Martial Arts: Lu Kai has won first ce in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination in Qingshan City! Good News (2) The 134th College Entrance Exam of our school had arge-scale harvest. 98 students were admitted to the top five martial arts academies, setting a record high. Good News (3) Our school... Good News (10) A full list of candidates from the Martial Arts Department: 1: Lu Kai [Dongdu College] 2: Jiang Yuxuan [Clear Sky College] ... 5: Jiang Yining [Tianshui Military Academy] ... 7: Wu Di [Tianshui Military Academy] ... 12: Lin Yuan [Tianshui Military Academy] ... When he saw Jiang Yining''s name, Lin Yuan was stunned at first. Then, he turned his head to look at Wu Di. Lin Yuan could see that Wu Di''s expression had undergone an extremelyplicated change within five seconds. Then, he excitedly grabbed Lin Yuan. "Lin Yuan!" "Stop! Stop! It hurts, brother!" "Jiang Yining is going to the military academy!" "I saw it. It hurts!" Lin Yuan used all his strength to push Wu Di''s hands away. Wu Di and Lin Yuan did not usually put on airs. Therefore, ssmates in the same grade were more familiar with them. Many students teased Wu Di. "Wu Di! I''ll be waiting for your wedding when Ie back next time!" "Haha!" "Oh!" "You guys have agreed to apply for the military academy, right? Lin Yuan, you seem a little redundant." "Hahaha!" In the face of everyone''s teasing, Wu Di did not care at all as his skin was thicker than a city wall. He kept shaking his head and sighing as he bragged to a few of his ssmates. "Sure, sure, sure." "Sigh, a man like me who is handsome and talented. Hmm, perhaps this is fate." "A golden couple is matched just like that, you say..." "Sigh..." Wu Di was immersed in the beautiful world that he imagined. Suddenly, he realized that the atmosphere outside the dojo had gradually calmed down. Li Yun, who was in front of him, kept blinking his eyes at him. "Li Yun, don''t you think so?" "What''s wrong with your eyes? Are you not feeling well?" Wu Di asked in puzzlement. Lin Yuan, who was looking at the list of candidates for the Martial Arts Department, felt that the atmosphere was strange. He turned his head and looked back. The moment he saw Jiang Yining, goosebumps rose all over his body in a short period of time. "Brother..." "Take care." Lin Yuan gave Wu Di a sympathetic look and silently turned his head away. Wu Di gradually felt a chill on his back. His head was like a robot as he turned his head away bit by bit while continuously swallowing his saliva. Halfway through, Jiang Yining crossed her hands and looked at Wu Di with a smile. Wu Di''s legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell down. "Excuse me." "Ah... Oh..." Wu Di was almost dragged to the side. The entire dojo was unprecedentedly quiet. Even if there were brothers who wanted tough, they would not dare tough here. Jiang Yining nced at the name list and saw that Lin Yuan and Wu Di had both applied for the military academy. She was a little surprised. Then, she walked into the dojo as if nothing had happened. As soon as Jiang Yining left, wildughter erupted outside the dojo like a tsunami! "Hahahahahaha..." "D*mn, Wu Di, just confess your love! What are you waiting for!" "That''s right, what are you afraid of when your brothers are backing you up! Stand tall!" "Scram, scram, scram! All of you, scram!" Wu Di''s face turned pale. He felt that the perfect image that he had painstakingly built in front of Jiang Yining... had copsed. Seeing Wu Di''s "murderous" gaze, Lin Yuan was very innocent. He pointed at the name list and said, "I really didn''t see her." "You can''t me me for that..." "I''m very sorry for your unfortunate encounter." Wu Di gritted his teeth. "Then why are youughing?" Lin Yuan tried hard to hold back hisughter. "Laughing?" "Did I?" Everyone shouted, "No! No!" "Whoughed just now?" "Who dares tough at my Brother Wu?" ... Graduation ceremony. p, p, p... Wu Di listened to the principal''s graduation speech in a daze and pped mechanically. In just two short minutes, he experienced the great joy and sorrow of his life. He hid in his own world alone. On the other side, Fang Zixin asked, "Hey, Lin Yuan, when are you leaving?" "I remember that the military academy needs you to report earlier than us, right?" Fang Zixin chose to apply for one of the five major martial arts academies, Binghai College in the end. That could be considered to havepleted his basic goal. Lin Yuan nodded. "Yeah, we''ll be leaving in four days." Song Cheng, who was around them, was also surprised, "So soon?!" "Yeah." A regr Tianshui Army team hade to supervise the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination in Qingshan City. All the examinees who applied for the military academy in Qingshan City would leave in the morning for the legendary Tianshui Military Academy four dayster. As for the other academies, the registration time was half a monthter. "Tsk tsk tsk, you''re going to suffer." "Good luck." "Let''s meet againter." Fang Zixin and Lin Yuan hugged each other. Although the Tianshui Military Academy was not as famous as the five great academies, the geniuses in it were definitely not weaker than those in the top five colleges. One could imagine the intensity of training the Tianshui soldiers. They were all trained with vicious killing techniques! When the Tianshui soldiers of the same level fought against the geniuses of the top five colleges, the former would definitely win. "I don''t know when we will meet again." "Good luck." "Yup, work hard." A few brothers sent their blessings one after another. They had already eaten the farewell dinner the day before. At this moment, they had to go their separate ways. "Let''s go, Wu Di. Let''s say goodbye to Elder Yang." Lin Yuan pulled Wu Di up and said goodbye to everyone. Then, they went to the Basic Martial Arts dojo. In the past few years, Lin Yuan had stayed here longer than he had in the ssroom. To Elder Yang, Lin Yuan was the best disciple he had ever taught. It was not easy to part with four years of affection. "Keep up the good work." "Make a name for yourself." Chapter 30: Assembly of the Freshmen Chapter 30: Assembly of the Freshmen Not only did Lin Yuan learn a lot from Elder Yang, but even Wu Di''s martial arts foundation was also solid. The final farewell was not too emotional. Just as Elder Yang said, their lives had just begun. ... Four dayster, the morning sun had not risen yet. In the vi. "You must pay attention to your safety, understand?" With tears in her eyes, Jiang Xiu kept saying goodbye to Wu Di in a low voice. As a mother, knowing that her son was going to be a soldier at Tianshui Military Academy, she was both proud and worried at the same time. From the moment they entered Tianshui Military Academy, the country would be pouring in resources to nurture freshmen. Yet, the freshmen couldn''t even report to their families that they were safe. Wu Diforted his mother, Jiang Xiu. "We''re going to the military academy, not to the battlefield." "It''s not that dangerous." Wu Dafu''s nose was sore, but he still said in a deep voice, "Don''t embarrass me when you get to the military academy." ... In the other room, Lin Yuan was packing hisst luggage. Before going to the military academy, Lin Yuan went home two days ago and said his final goodbye to his father, Lin Shouyi. There weren''t many stories. However, the mechanical-type spirit skill that Diyi Middle School had promised Lin Yuan was handed to Lin Yuan the day before they left. This spirit skill was called "Photon Pistol", and its basic requirement was a total of 100 points of spirit energy. Lin Yuan had spent a whole day studying it yesterday before he had some insights, but the speed of condensing the Photon Pistol was still very slow. The main reason was that the structure was veryplicated and not as simple as a Mechanized Crossbow. Just the firing mechanism alone was made up of the transmitter base, hammer parts, iron block parts, pull rod parts, safety, single shot lever, and all kinds of springs. Condensing them together was extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming. However, the power was very considerable. Even if a level three martial artist was hit in the vital parts, he would probably be crippled or even killed. "Lin Yuan." Lin Yuan heard someone calling him from behind and turned around. "Uncle Wu?" Wu Dafu walked into the room and smiled amiably. He closed the door and chatted with Lin Yuan for a while. In Wu Dafu''s eyes, Wu Di was not as mature and calm as Lin Yuan. "Okay, I got it, Uncle Wu. Don''t worry." Before Lin Yuan and Wu Di left, Wu Dafu spent arge sum of money to buy equipment for the two of them. At this moment, the level three spiritual weapon "Sparrow Moon Longsword" on Wu Di''s back cost him ten million. Lin Yuan also obtained some necessary spirit stones, including a level three Blue me Stone, which cost more than a million. ... The military academy''s gathering point in Qingshan City was Qingshan City Diyi Middle School. All the candidates who applied for the Tianshui Military Academy in Qingshan City would gather at the square outside Diyi Middle School and head to the southwest branch of Tianshui Military Academy. It was located in the southwest of Tianshui Kingdom. The usual easy journey made Wu Di, who had been pretending to be calm and cool in front of his parents, suddenly nervous. "Lin Yuan, I''m a little nervous." "D*mn, I suddenly feel a little regretful..." Lin Yuan chuckled. "You chose it yourself. You can''t me me." Soon, Lin Yuan and Wu Di arrived at the square outside Diyi Middle School. At this moment, the square outside the school was extremely noisy. Not only Wu Di, but many freshmen of the military academy were a little nervous. They talked with each other to ease the tension. "There are quite a lot of people." Wu Di looked at the students in the square in surprise. There were about five hundred people. They were all students who had applied for the military academy in Qingshan City and the surrounding small areas. But among the nearly five hundred people, only about ten percent of them were women. Otherwise, why would they say, "Two or three years in the army, the sows are better than Diaochan". "Lin Yuan!" "Wu Di!" Among the crowd, the other six people who applied for the military academy in Diyi Middle School were gathered together. One of the students waved at Lin Yuan and Wu Di. When Lin Yuan, Wu Di, and Jiang Yining, the top geniuses of Diyi Middle School gathered together, the square was also filled with discussions. After the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, these three people had quite a reputation in Qingshan City. Among these five hundred people, there were less than ten of them who were level three martial artists. When he saw Jiang Yining again, Wu Di, who was standing at the side, was a little embarrassed. He didn''t dare to look directly at her. The students of Diyi Middle School weren''t familiar with each other. They only knew each other. However, before they could chat with each other, the rumbling of the fleet of vehicles in the distance gradually sounded. "F*ck... So cool..." "Tianshui Army armored vehicles!" One after another, powerful and domineering Tianshui Army armored vehicles stopped in front of the square. A few soldiers in military uniforms alighted from the huge armored vehicles and said in a loud voice, "Qingshan City freshmen, get on the vehicles!" "After you get on the vehicles, don''t talk. Sit on the seats and hold the files in your hands!" ... The eight students of Diyi Middle School got into the same armored car. Each armored car could hold about a hundred people. The seats were not too crowded. In just two minutes, all the freshmen got into the armored car. Lin Yuan and the others were sitting in the first armored car. In the middle of the armored car stood a tall woman. The pure ck armor could not cover the curves that made people daydream. However, the cold and frosty face made these freshmen who were not even eighteen years old not dare to look directly at her. When the armored vehicles started moving, everyone could vaguely hear someone shouting outside the vehicles. "Wait for me!" "I''m also a student of the Tianshui Military Academy!" "Wait for me... Hey..." "Please..." One after another, blue armored vehicles whizzed past. Theypletely ignored thiste student and drove out of the city. When everyone heard the youth''s desperate cry, they couldn''t help but gulp. At this moment, instructor Zheng Yin, who was standing in the middle of the armored vehicles, said coldly, "I am Tianshui Military Academy instructor, Zheng Yin." "Now, take out all of your files." All the freshmen kept quiet and obediently took out the student files. Zheng Yin walked around the armored vehicles and put away all the files. Then, she sat at the front seat. The group of freshmen looked at each other, and sat in their seats obediently, not daring to make a sound. It took about 30 hours to get from Qingshan City to the southwest branch of Tianshui Military Academy. They hadn''t eaten anything since they got on the armored vehicle early in the morning. Even so, no one dared to make a sound, for fear of leaving a bad impression in front of the instructor. At about 11 p.m., just as everyone was about to fall asleep after sitting in the car for a whole day, the armored car suddenly stopped at a brightly lit rest area! Some of the new students who were dozing off gradually woke up. "Get out of the car." Zheng Yin gave the order, and the freshmen rubbed their eyes and jumped out of the armored car one after another. Lin Yuan just jumped down and turn around to look. The area was like a military base, brightly lit. With a loud rumble, helicopters flew out of the base one after another. "It doesn''t look like a military academy." Lin Yuan looked at the scene around him and thought to himself. There were dozens of other armored vehicles besides them. More and more armored vehicles from the cities in the southwest region arrived. Zheng Yin was thest to jump down from the armored vehicle. She heard the discussion and said loudly, "Shut up, all of you." "Line up and take your equipment in turn." "Prepare for the freshman exam!" Chapter 31: Team of Five Chapter 31: Team of Five "Freshmen assessment?" "F*ck, it''s already here? I''m not mentally prepared yet..." "It''s too sudden." "Shh..." Among the freshmen, there were a few discussions at first, but they quickly quieted down. Those who were originally dozing off gradually woke up, and their expressions became serious. They naturally lined up into two columns, and their execution was quite good. There was a fundamental difference between Tianshui Military Academy freshmen and martial arts academy freshmen. The former had already made mental preparations in advance. Moreover, 80-90% of these martial artists were civilian martial artists. These civilian martial artists had applied for the military academy to reverse their fate, so they were very determined. Woo... woo... Armored vehicles entered the military base one after another. In the distance, there were already quite a number of freshmen running towards the base. Zheng Yin stood at the front of the team and said loudly, "Next, distribute each new student''s grade one interspatial ring!" "The interspatial ring contains water, food, a map, and a level two Tianshui Army uniform!" As soon as Zheng Yin finished speaking, two soldiers of the base distributed each person an interspatial ring. Interspatial ring? Lin Yuan took the ice-cold ring and could clearly feel its profound spirit energy aura. An interspatial ring was without an owner. As long as spirit energy was injected into it, it could be opened. A grade one interspatial ring had a space of 1 cubic meter with a length of 1 meter and a width of 1 meter inside. Lin Yuan injected his spirit energy into it. There were five things inside, namely food, water, a map, a military uniform, and a military academy card. All the freshmen were very excited. Interspatial rings were very difficult to buy on the market. They did not expect that every cadet had one. Zheng Yin coldly nced at the excited new cadets and shouted, "Next, we will announce the contents of the new cadet assessment!" An angry shout made all the new cadets shut their mouths. Zheng Yin continued to shout, "Five people in a group, depart from 21st Military Base in the south where we are now!" "Arrive at the Tianshui Military Academy within 25 days and report. You will be deemed to have passed the assessment excellently." "If you arrive within 30 days, you will be deemed to have passed the assessment." "If you arrive after 30 days, you will be deemed to have failed the assessment!" When these words were said, almost all of the freshmen were stunned on the spot. What? Walk from this location to Tianshui Military Academy? Lin Yuan, Wu Di, Jiang Yining, and a group of freshmen instantly opened up the map. Lin Yuan, who was strong-willed, sucked in a breath of cold air the moment he saw the location of the military academy. Jiang Yining''s expression was grim. Wu Di almost copsed to the ground due to a "heart attack". "You... you must be joking..." "How is this possible..." Lin Yuan listened to the terrified sounds around him and looked at the map carefully. It traversed more than a thousand kilometers, and the distance didn''t seem too long. However, the terrifying part was that they had to pass through Hundred Flowers Forest, Flowing Cloud Swamp, Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon, Twin Peaks Snow Mountain, and finally cross the Tianshui in to reach the Tianshui Military Academy! "All five of you have arrived. All of you havepleted." "One person has not arrived. All of you have failed." "If you have any questions, raise them now!" Zheng Yin''s powerful aura spread out, and the freshmen instantly felt a lot of pressure. One of the freshmen mustered up his courage and braced himself to ask, "Instructor, if we don''t arrive within thirty days, what will happen if we fail?" Zheng Yin nced at the new cadet and said in an extremely cruel tone, "Resources!" "The outstanding eat meat, the qualified drink soup, the unqualified..." "You can only lick their dregs." All the new cadets were shocked. Resources were the core of the military academy. However, it was impossible for the military academy to train warriors in an equal way. Only the truly outstanding warriors could receive the pouring of resources! Although these new students had not officially entered the military academy, thepetition had already begun at this moment. Once they entered the military academy, it would only be more intense! Hearing this, a female student timidly raised her hand and said, "Instructor, I... I''m from the medical-type..." Zheng Yin snorted coldly and directly replied, "So what if you''re medical-type? Medical-type martial artists still have to follow the team to the battlefield!" "The enemy doesn''t show mercy to you because you''re a woman. They will only be crueler!" "Remember, in Tianshui Military Academy, there are no gender differences!" As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the freshmen on the field changed one after another. Zheng Yin continued to speak loudly, "If there are no more problems, then start forming your team!" "Once registration isplete! Set off immediately!" ... After Zheng Yin left, the whole group of freshmen in Qingshan City was instantly in an uproar. The conversation of five hundred people was as noisy as five thousand people! Almost all martial artists wanted to form a team with stronger people. If five people formed a team and the team arrived, that would be the barrel effect. The barrel effect meant that how much water a barrel could hold depend on the shortest piece of wood. Everyone understood this principle. However, in this new student assessment, the weak wanted to lick the strong, while the strong might not favor the weak. More than 30 medical-type girls were pushed aside. They were both embarrassed and scared at the same time. Wu Di immediately looked at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was studying the map and the route. "Lin Yuan." "What should we do?" "Say something." Even as one of the few level three martial artists on the field, Wu Di was still very nervous. Lin Yuan had always been calm. It was definitely not wrong for him to follow Lin Yuan. "Twenty-five days should be enough," Lin Yuan said in a low voice, then looked up to his side. Coincidentally, he exchanged a nce with Jiang Yining and asked naturally, "Are youing?" Jiang Yining nodded readily and said, "Yes, okay." Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining had interacted with each other a few times, so he knew that Jiang Yining was not as cold and elegant as she appeared to be. Jiang Yining readily asked Lin Yuan if she had any questions in Basic Martial Arts. Among all the freshmen, the one Jiang Yining was most familiar with was probably Lin Yuan. Both Wu Di and Jiang Yining were level three martial artists. Lin Yuan was a top level two martial artist and was famous in Qingshan City. As long as the three of them stood there, countless freshmen would flock to them. Even a few former ssmates from Diyi Middle School surrounded them. "Lin Yuan, let''s go together." "Brother Yuan, bring me along." "Wu Di, there are still two vacancies left, right?" ... Just as Lin Yuan was frowning, a genius level three martial artist slowly walked toward Jiang Yining and Wu Di. "Count me in." A gentle youth''s voice sounded from the side. Wu Di heard this voice was very familiar. He looked up and was suddenly stunned. "It''s you..." This youth was none other than the genius martial artist of Qingshan City Dier Middle School, Han Yu. He was a level three martial artist who had met Wu Di in the Combat Test during the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination. In the end, after a fierce battle, Wu Di lost that battle. "Hello, Sister Jiang." Han Yu smiled and nodded to Jiang Yining. The Jiang and Han families were both first-ss aristocratic families in Qingshan City. He had met Jiang Yining several times on some asions among the aristocratic families. Lin Yuan, Wu Di, and Jiang Yining were all 17-year-old freshmen. However, Han Yu, a young genius, was not even 17 years old yet. He jumped a grade to participate in the College Entrance Exam and was very strong. "Hello." Jiang Yining also nodded. The grudges between aristocratic families naturally disappeared after they entered the military academy. They were not onlypeting with the geniuses of Qingshan City for resources but also with the geniuses of other provinces and cities! Chapter 32: Hundred Flowers Forest! Chapter 32: Hundred Flowers Forest! The entire Qingshan City was only this big. There were only a few top-notch geniuses in Diyi Middle School, Dier Middle School, and Disan Middle School. Even if they hadn''t had much contact with each other, they still had some understanding. The surrounding freshmen, who had been volunteering themselves, quieted down after hearing that Han Yu had taken the initiative to join them. They began to look for other teammates. Judging from the configuration of these four people, it was obvious that they were going to form an elite team to achieve excellent results. There were no longer any spots for them. While Lin Yuan and the others were still discussing, two or three teams of five people had already finished registering and were walking toward the Hundred Flowers Forest in the dark. ... "There''s still one more spot." "Lin Yuan, who are you going to pick?" With Han Yu and Jiang Yining, two level three martial artists, joining, Wu Di was full of confidence. From the looks of it, their team of four was the most elite in the entire Qingshan City. Quite a few powerful martial artists were coveting thest position. Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and raised his head. "We have to bring a medical-type martial artist." Han Yu, who was at the side, immediately frowned when he heard this. Wu Di was also stunned. Most of the medical-type martial artists were women. Moreover, even if they were men, their physical fitness was generally inferior tobat-type martial artists. It would only slow down their overall speed. However, before Han Yu could refute, Jiang Yining immediately nodded in agreement. "That''s right." Han Yu and Wu Di, the two idiots looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other''s eyes. Wu Di could not help but ask, "Why?" Lin Yuan put the useful things in his backpack into his interspatial ring and answered, "Do you think this assessment is as simple as hiking a thousand kilometers?" "Let''s see how many days your food and water canst." After Lin Yuan said that, Han Yu and Wu Di immediately opened their interspatial rings that they had just received and widened their eyes. Although there seemed to be a lot of food, a martial artist could onlyst seven days at most! Before the two of them could regain their senses, Lin Yuan''s voice was heard again. "If you want to obtain food in the wild, you can only look for beasts." "What if someone is injured and there are no medical-type martial artists?" After thinking carefully, Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining realized that this was not a single cross-country test. This was a simtion mission that allowed them to change from a "student mentality" to a "warrior mentality". Team, survival, battle, mission, willpower. The Tianshui Army team was a team of ten people. It was impossible to abandon arade in battle. From the moment they entered the military academy, the military academy had already started to cultivate their team consciousness. Once one person was injured, how would the entire team reach the target location within twenty-five days? Lin Yuan had always wanted to enter the military academy, so he had some understanding of the Tianshui Army team mode. Every 10-man team would be equipped with a medical-type martial artist. Jiang Yining added, "A medical-type martial artist can not only improve the team''s fault tolerance, but it will also be of great help to our daily recovery." "The four of us will definitely have enoughbat power." Wu Di and Han Yu were enlightened. No wonder Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining had 150 points and 148 points for liberal arts respectively. Their train of thought was indeed much clearer. ... In the corner of the venue. A group of female medical-type martial artists, who had no one paying attention to, looked at thebat-type martial artists who were discussing their teams in full swing. Their expressions were awful. Almost all the teams treated them as a burden, the shortest nk in the barrel effect. "Hmph, at worst, we can form our own teams." "Who cares about forming a team with them..." A few girls felt wronged for a moment, and some of the fragile girls even started to cry. At this moment, they still didn''t know how popr outstanding medical-type martial artists would be once they entered the military academy! At this moment, a path was made in the center of the venue. Lin Yuan, Wu Di, Han Yu, and Jiang Yining, who had rejected the application of two level three martial artists to join them, came before a group of beautiful girls. Han Yu waved at a girl in the crowd and said, "Jiang Lu,e." "We need a medical-type martial artist. Come to our team." Hearing Han Yu''s invitation, not only were the medical-type martial artists stunned, even thebat-type martial artists who were forming a team stopped their discussion and looked over. "What''s going on?" "I don''t know." "Why would they choose her?" ... Jiang Lu had never thought that Han Yu would invite her to join the team. Although they were both students of Dier Middle School, she was amoner martial artist. She only knew Han Yu in school and didn''t have much interaction with him. This elite team of Qingshan City would actually invite her? Han Yu asked, "Can you hold on?" Jiang Lu hesitated for a second, then nodded firmly and said, "Yes!" Since Han Yu and Lin Yuan were not afraid of her dragging the team down, what was there for her to hesitate? Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Let''s go and register." Seeing the five of them walking toward the registration office, the people around finally realized that Lin Yuan and the others were serious. "Why?" "Why!" For a team as strong as this to bring a medical-type martial artist, there must be a reason behind it. While these martial artists were discussing, the five of them had already finished registering. [Lin Yuan, mechanical-type, level two, ten meridians.] [Jiang Lu, medical-type, level two, eleven meridians.] [Wu Di, lightning-type, level three, one gate.] [Han Yu, fire-type, level three, one gate.] [Jiang Yining, thunder-type, level three, two gates.] After the five of them left the military base, the female instructor, Zheng Yin, drew a circle on the registration form of the team. After getting on the car, she looked at the files of this batch of freshmen. There was not much worth paying attention to. The configuration of this team had a chance to be outstanding. At this moment, inside the military base, thousands ofrge screens were showing the real-time situation of the route from the base to the military academy. Even the body of the ferocious beast was equipped with a mechanical chip to perfectly control it. There were quite some helicopters circling the entire route, ready to rescue the freshmen whose lives might be in danger at any time. This kind of freshmen assessment was basically zero danger. Although the death rate of the military academies was high, that was only after the second or third year when they were on a mission. ... Hundred Flowers Forest. The dense foliage blocked most of the moonlight. At a nce, it was filled with lush ancient trees that stretched as far as the eye could see. What was even stranger was that there seemed to be not much life in this forest. Han Yu swallowed his saliva. He was clearly a little scared. "F*ck..." "Why does it feel a little eerie?" "Is fire needed?" With the help of the weak starlight, the five of them could barely find their way forward, but they still felt a little scared. They had rested in the car for a whole day and did not consume any energy, so almost all the teams chose to travel overnight. Even Wu Di and Jiang Yining, two level three martial artists, were a little nervous and followed closely behind Lin Yuan. From the moment the team was formed, Lin Yuan naturally became the team leader. "Light it up." "It''s fine." Normally, there wouldn''t be anyrge fierce beasts in the forest. Han Yu rubbed his hands together and quickly lit two torches. At this moment, a heart-wrenching scream came from the other side of the Hundred Flowers Forest, breaking the tranquility of the Hundred Flowers Forest! "Ahhhh..." Chapter 33: Hundred-flower Snake! Chapter 33: Hundred-flower Snake! This heart-wrenching scream made the already nervous people''s hair stand on end! "Oh my God..." "Don''t scare me!" Wu Di wanted to cry but had no tears. He followed closely behind Lin Yuan. Jiang Yining and Jiang Lu, two girls with the same surname, were also leaning against each other tightly. Han Yu suggested with a trembling voice, "Could there be a ferocious beast? Do you want us to wait for daybreak before we set off?" Lin Yuan took a torch from Han Yu''s hand and said, "It''s meaningless. The route in Hundred Flowers Forest is very long in distance. We won''t be able to leave without three days." "We need to reach the Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon in at least seven days." "All of you must be prepared to spend the night in the forest and swamps." Ever since the moment they applied for the military academy, these freshmen had voluntarily given up on their superior cultivation and living environment. This was a process that they had to go through. Lin Yuan looked at the four people who were still nervous and turned his head to analyze seriously. "Remember, there won''t be any ferocious beasts that are beyond our capabilities in this forest." "If we can''t pass, then the other teams won''t be able to pass it." Hearing Lin Yuan''s analysis, Han Yu and Wu Di both nodded, feeling much less nervous. "Hiss..." "That makes sense." "Now that you say it, it seems to make sense." Just as Han Yu and Wu Di were gradually establishing a psychological defense line, Jiang Yining suddenly raised her hand and said, "Shh..." "Listen, what''s that sound..." At this moment, the five of thempletely fell silent. Hiss... Hiss... Waves of creepy sounds surrounded the top of the group. Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and his heart began to beat faster. He gradually lifted the bright torches into the air. Colorful vipers coiled around the trunks of the ancient trees. Many of the vipers were sticking out their tongues and showing their fangs. Their eyes were glowing with a green light as they stared at the five people below. "Ah!" "Ah!" A few screams sounded almost at the same time. Jiang Lu burst into tears as she fell to the ground and kept moving backward. Wu Di, Jiang Yining, and Han Yu''s tensed strings seemed to have snapped. Their faces were pale, and half of their bodies had gone limp. Even Lin Yuan had goosebumps all over his body. "Sob, sob, sob..." Jiang Lu hugged her knees and cried, not daring to look at the countless venomous snakes around her! "Lin..." "Lin Yuan..." Wu Di''s hand was already on his grade three spiritual weapon, Sparrow Moon Longsword, ready to draw out a bloody battle at any time. Lin Yuan took two deep breaths and suppressed the fear in his heart. He reached out his hand to stop Wu Di who was about to make a move. "Don''t touch them." "Hundred-flower snake." "Extremely poisonous." Upon hearing the name hundred-flower snake, Jiang Yining steadied her heartbeat and looked carefully at the hundred-flower snake in the air. "It really is the hundred-flower snake..." Jiang Yining looked at Lin Yuan in surprise. This kind of knowledge was covered in high school liberal arts. The hundred-flower snake was a level two fierce beast. Its strength was about the ten meridians level of a human. However, one had to know that this was the strength of a hundred-flower snake. The hundred-flower snake lived in groups and was highly poisonous. As long as it bit a martial artist, a level two martial artist would definitely die within two hours. Even if it was a level three martial artist, facing so many hundred-flower snakes, it was difficult to guarantee that the hundred-flower snake would not bite him. "Hundred-flower snakes?" Seeing that Jiang Yining had calmed down, Wu Di didn''t dare to continue embarrassing himself. The hundred-flower snakes were fierce beasts that would not take the initiative to attack. They would only counterattack when they were attacked. In other words, as long as they didn''t take the initiative to provoke them, they wouldn''t pose any threat to the group. "No wonder it''s called Hundred Flowers Forest." Lin Yuan thought to himself. Then, he raised the torch to see if there were any fangs in the mouths of the hundred-flower snakes. "What are you looking at?" Seeing that there was no danger, Han Yu gradually calmed down and asked Lin Yuan. "I''m looking for fangs. There will definitely be a team that will provoke them in a panic." "If they are besieged, their lives will definitely be in danger." Jiang Yining helped Jiang Lu up. She also understood what Lin Yuan meant. The military academy would definitely not be so cruel. They would not kill them before they even entered the academy. "You mean..." "Is this the military academy''s bluff?" Lin Yuan nodded. "It''s possible." "But we don''t have to try. We just have to move forward." "Wu Di, you go to the rear. Be careful." Wu Di''s heart sank. He gulped and pointed at himself. "Ah... Me?" Lin Yuan gestured for him to go first. "Why don''t you take the lead?" "I can go to the rear, too. You choose." Wu Di quickly waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. I''ll go to the rear." Among them, Han Yu was the youngest, less than seventeen years old. From his reaction just now, he was not mature enough to face danger. Although Wu Di was panicking, his first reaction was to draw his sword and fight. There were two girls, and the physical stress of this assessment was the greatest. In a high-stress situation, a person''s physical strength would decline at an elerated rate. Wu Di was most suitable for the task of covering the rear. "Let''s go." "I''m afraid there will be more terrible things than this in the future. Be mentally prepared." Lin Yuan lit up his torch and turned around to move forward. His sturdy back made the remaining four feel a little more at ease. Screams in the Hundred Flowers Forest were incessant on that night. There was even a battle! However, the team advanced steadily under Lin Yuan''s lead. As the sun rose, the countless hundred-flower snakes in the Hundred Flowers Forest gradually appeared around them, constantly flicking their tongues. It was as if they were walking in a natural snake cave. The more they advanced towards the center of the Hundred Flowers Forest, the more hundred-flower snakes there were. The hissing sound of their tongues also became louder, filling all the freshmen''s eardrums. After advancing for twenty hours, the team finally stopped to rest when they were near the center of the forest. As they confirmed that there weren''t too many other dangers in the forest, they started a fire. "How are we supposed to sleep at night?" Han Yu listened to the terrifying hissing sounds around him. He felt as if a snake was crawling on his face the moment he closed his eyes. Jiang Lu circted her spirit energy and cast a recovery spell on Lin Yuan. In an instant, warm and gentle energy flowed through Lin Yuan''s body, and the fatigue he felt after traveling for twenty hours lessened significantly. Lin Yuan looked at Han Yu and Wu Di and said, "The three of us will take turns keeping watch." "Everyone needs to rest well. This is only the first day." "Trust each other. Otherwise, no one will be able to sleep well." Han Yu and Wu Di nodded. "No problem." Under such circumstances, if they could trust their teammates... Then they would be able to react immediately even if there was danger at night. However, they had been afraid of the hundred-flower snakes all night, afraid of unknown dangers. Then it was impossible for them to enter a state of rest. ... In the military base, all the instructors were paying attention and recording the situation of each group. Zheng Yin crossed her hands and looked at the group in the middle of the screen in front of her. Some temperaments could be cultivated, and some could not. On her record sheet, she wrote ament for Lin Yuan: "Leadership temperament, quick thinking". This was the potential of a future team leader. To be able to unite several people in a short period was an ability. The core of Hundred Flowers Forest was "how to ovee psychology". The core of Flowing Cloud Swamp was "how to ovee the environment". These were all things that a warrior must ovee! Chapter 34: Collapse Chapter 34: Copse Eight dayster, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon. On both sides of the canyon were rolling mountains. The mountains were high and densely forested. Thick dark clouds floated halfway up the mountain. From time to time, terrifying howls of ferocious beasts could be heard from the dense forests on the mountains, making one''s hair stand on end. Beside the clear stream, a group of wild horses with strange patterns were leisurely drinking water by theke. This group of seemingly gentle wild horses was called sawtooth horses. When they opened their bloody mouths, their teeth were as sharp as a saw, and they could easily cut open the enemy''s blood vessels. They are level two fierce beasts and their individualbat strength was not bad. However, their attack methods were rtively simple, and they were also fierce beasts that lived in groups. In the bushes at the side, Lin Yuan kept gesturing to the two sides around him. Wu Di, Han Yu, and Jiang Yining had already started to surround them. The stench from the grass made them frown slightly. After walking out of the Flowing Cloud Swamp, they felt that they had vomited a lot of bile. This level of the stench waspletely within their tolerance range. Lin Yuan held the Mechanized Crossbow in his hand and aimed at the sawtooth horse in the middle. In the next moment, the level two ck Gold Bolt gradually condensed! At the moment when the spirit energy surged, the sawtooth horses also felt the spirit energy fluctuation and began to run wildly! "Awoo..." Whoosh! The ck Gold Bolt in Lin Yuan''s hand instantly left the bowstring and shot out! The power of the ck Gold Bolt leaving the bowstring was astonishing. The piercing sound of the bolt urately pierced through the throat of a sawtooth horse. "Go!" With Lin Yuan''s order, the team that had formed a tacit understanding burst out almost at the same time. Han Yu released fire-type spirit energy from his palm. A cluster of orange-red mes with a scorching temperature headed straight for the fleeing sawtooth horse! Boom! "Ow!" The belly of the sawtooth horse was forcefully sted. Its internal organs and blood sttered everywhere. When they were in the Flowing Cloud Swamp, the few of them had already established a certain tacit understanding during their escape. Lin Yuan and Han Yu were responsible for the long-range firepower to kill the escaping sawtooth horses. Jiang Yining and Wu Di were holding swords in their hands, ending the injured sawtooth horses'' lives. Unfortunately, the sawtooth horses fled very quickly. In addition, Lin Yuan and his five-man team did not have enough battle experience, so half of them managed to escape by force. "Stop chasing." "Enough!" When he heard Lin Yuan''s shout, Wu Di just happened to stab the third injured sawtooth horse, and blood sttered all over the ground. "It''s too d*mn disgusting," Wu Di''s face was covered in blood as he said with disdain. These few days were definitely the most chaotic days of his life so far. He had not had a good day of rest. Coupled with the fact that he was hungry and sleepy, the five of them were on the verge of a mental breakdown. "Three." "It should be enough to eat." Han Yu panted heavily as he dragged the sawtooth horse that was killed in the distance to the middle of the team. Lin Yuan squatted down and dragged the corpse of the sawtooth horse while enduring the stench. He reached his hand into the sawtooth horse''s head. The rest watched as Lin Yuan took out a mechanical chip from the sawtooth horse''s head. "There''s no beast core either." "They''re all controlled." Lin Yuan threw the chip aside and stood up. They had killed two fierce beasts in the Flowing Cloud Swamp previously. Normally, every ferocious beast would have a beast core, simr to a human''s spirit seed. However, these ferocious beasts had mechanical chips in their bodies. It was obvious that the military academy was controlling them from behind. Han Yu nodded. "It''s about the same as what you think." "Brother Yuan, what should we do now?" When faced with difficulties, it was always the best time to establish a revolutionary friendship. In addition, Han Yu was rtively young, so calling Lin Yuan brother did not seem out of ce at all. Lin Yuan took a look at the corpse of three sawtooth horses. His interspatial ring clearly could not hold them and said, "Let''s cut them into pieces." "The sun is about to set. Let''s find a ce to rest first." "The smell of blood here is too strong." "Okay." Jiang Yining pulled out her Thundercloud Sword and started to cut the corpse of the sawtooth horses together with Wu Di. Thundercloud Sword was a top-grade grade three spiritual weapon. It was much more powerful than Wu Di''s Sparrow Moon Longsword, and it was an exclusive thunder-type weapon. The five of them braced their exhausted bodies and began to advance toward the interior of the canyon. When the sun set, they finally found a rtively spacious cave. After confirming that there were no bats or other dangers inside, they dived into the cave. "Hu..." "Hu..." "I really can''t do it anymore." Wu Di sat down. There was a hint of a breakdown in his voice as he covered his injured left leg with his hands. Changing a person in such an environment would only take a week. Lin Yuan took off his stinky military uniform, while the others followed suit and took off their coats. Previously, most of the journey they went through was the geography of the swamp. Sweat and blood mixed together, and the stench reached its peak. "Han Yu." "Water." Han Yu heard Lin Yuan''s shout and performed his spirit energy with his left hand. In the next moment, a clear water source condensed from his left hand and washed the military uniforms that everyone had taken off. A few days ago, Lin Yuan and the others had already known that Han Yu was not just a fire-type martial artist. He was a genius martial artist who cultivated both water and fire-type spirit seeds. In the future, he was preparing to walk the Qi path. Jiang Yining threw out the sawtooth horse meat that she had just killed from her interspatial ring and said, "And this." ... A momentter, Lin Yuan carried a bunch of branches into the cave. In the cave, Jiang Lu was helping Wu Di heal his injured left leg, which was bitten by a crocodile in the Flowing Cloud Swamp. After a few days of treatment, his injuries had improved a lot. It was mainly because he had to rush forward every day, so he did not have much time to rest. After Han Yu started the fire, he leaned against the cave wall and waved his hand. "I can''t hang on anymore, too." "I''m hungry and sleepy." Lin Yuan picked up a few branches and added them to the fire. Then, he put the sawtooth horse meat on the firewood and roasted it. The oil dripped down, and it smelled fresh and fragrant. Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the few pieces of horse meat, and they kept swallowing their saliva. This kind of spirit beast meat did not have much value in the market, and the taste was average. It was not very beneficial to martial artists, and usually, people would not even look at it. However, the current situation was different from the past. The food prepared by the military academy for the past few days could only satisfy their hunger, and the taste was like chewing wax. It was already very good to have sawtooth horse meat to eat at this moment. As there were no seasonings, there was no need for any barbecue skills. It would be fine as long as it was cooked. "Alright, it''s almost ready to eat." Lin Yuan passed the roasted horse meat to Jiang Lu who was beside him. Jiang Lu thanked him from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you." Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You''re weed. It''s a little hot." Jiang Lu took a bite of the hot roasted meat, and her tears fell uncontrobly. Jiang Yining sat beside Jiang Lu andforted her in low voice. They were all martial artists who had never experienced hardship since they were young, including Lin Yuan. At most, it was the hardship of cultivation that was fundamentally different from the current situation, so they could understand each other''s feelings. Only at this moment did Han Yu understand how wise it was for Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining to bring along a medical-type martial artist. Without a medical-type martial artist, they might still be stuck in the swamp. ... Not long after Lin Yuan''s team entered the cave. In the distance, a group of monsters with three heads and mucus flowing from the corners of their mouths flickered in the darkness. They gradually surrounded them in this direction. Chapter 35: Danger on a Rainy Night! Chapter 35: Danger on a Rainy Night! Rumble!!! Crash!!! A loud thunder sounded in the sky above Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and raindrops were falling down. The hurricane swept through the entire canyon, and countless flowers, nts, and trees were swaying in the storm. In the light of the fire in the cave, the five of them had their first full meal in the past few days. "Lin Yuan, are we still keeping watch tonight?" Lin Yuan nodded while eating the sawtooth horse meat. "Yes." "I don''t feel so secure." "Because of the mechanical chip?" "Yes." Jiang Yining naturally knew what Lin Yuan was talking about. Since these fierce beasts were under the control of the military academy, they could attack them at any time. They had to be prepared at all times. ... Late at night, the rain became heavier, filling the entire sky. "Awoo..." "They can''t control the weather, right?" Wu Di leaned against the entrance of the cave and yawned as he looked at the sshing rain outside the cave. He had just slept for more than three hours when he was woken up by Han Yu. If he had not forced himself to stand guard, he might have fallen asleep. "Sigh..." "It''s toote to regret." Wu Di wanted to cry but had no tears. This was his 108th regret in eight days. If he had applied for Dongdu College, he would be eating hairy crabs at home at this moment. On this night, he couldn''t eat his fill, wear warm clothes, and even sleep... Just as Wu Di was reminiscing... Wu Di suddenly felt a faint light sweep across his body! In that instant, Wu Di''s entire body was covered in goosebumps. "What the hell!" The sense of danger formed by the tense heartstrings over the past eight days made Wu Di immediately rush out of the cave and look around. Faint light. Streams of faint light pierced through the surrounding forest. "I..." "F*ck..." Wu Di subconsciously took a step back, his face turned pale. In the forest not far away, a three-headed monster slowly walked out! Green mucus flowed from the corners of each head''s mouth, and their eyes emitted a green light. "Lin Yuan..." "Lin Yuan!!" Wu Di''s expression was filled with panic, and his hoarse voice seemed to be about to lose its voice as he roared furiously towards the cave! The crazy voice instantly woke up Lin Yuan who was sleeping soundly, and he looked outside the cave! "Lin Yuan! Three-headed monster! There are so many three-headed monsters!" "Run!" Wu Di''s words were a little incoherent, but Lin Yuan could feel his fear! "Wake up! Wake up!" The other three people who were sleeping had fallen into a deep sleep due to the tiredness of the past few days. Lin Yuan did not care about being gentle with women and he violently shook the three of them up! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of Wu Di and the three-headed monsters fighting in the heavy rain could be heard from the outside. "What''s going on?" Han Yu had just fallen asleep. He was still in a trance. "Let''s go!" Lin Yuan did not have time to exin too much. The Mechanized Crossbow in his hand instantly condensed and rushed out of the cave. Crack! A thick bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, casting a pale light on the pitch-ck night sky. The wind whistled, and the rain poured down. Wu Di held the Sparrow Moon Longsword and shed at the three-headed monster that was charging at him! After oveing his fear, Wu Di''s every sh was full of power. However, the ground was slippery on the rainy night, so Wu Di could not perform his speed perfectly. As the battle started, more and more three-headed monsters joined the battle, and the pressure on Wu Di multiplied! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Lin Yuan''s bolts whistled past Wu Di and continuously shot into the three-headed monsters'' bodies! However, the three-headed monster was a level two beast. Whether it was in terms of vitality orbat strength, it was much stronger than the sawtooth horse that they had killed before. The ck Gold Bolt shot into the body of a three-headed monster. The huge impact sent it flying a few meters away. The next moment, the three-headed monster pounced at Lin Yuan again, leaping three meters high! Lin Yuan aimed the Mechanized Crossbow at the three-headed monster in the air and shot it out decisively! With a whoosh, the head in the middle shattered. Green brain matter flowed all over the ground, washed away by the heavy rain. Han Yu, Jiang Yining, and Jiang Lu immediately rushed out of the cave. Seeing Wu Di''s critical situation, they immediately joined the battle! "The cave entrance is too big. We can''t retreat." "We have to escape." The rain sshed on everyone''s faces. Lin Yuan immediately judged the current situation and shouted at the crowd, "Quick!" "Retreat into the canyon!" "Wu Di, let''s move!" ... In the military base, a few instructors stood in front of the big screen in the center, watching Lin Yuan and the other three escape! The most important purpose of this freshmen assessment was not to test but to let all the freshmen realize that they had already arrived at the military academy. During this process, if there were any outstanding seedlings, the military academy would also pay attention to them and arrange them to Combat Division One. "Mechanical-type?" One of the instructors was surprised when he saw Lin Yuan''s Mechanized Crossbow. They were not unfamiliar with his type, because Old Man Luo in the military academy was a mechanical-type martial artist. They were surprised by Lin Yuan''s mastery of the spirit skill "Mechanized Crossbow". Almost every bolt could hit the target urately at high speed. This required not only practice but also talent. "That yellow-haired boy and the thunder-type girl are both pretty good." "Yeah." The instructors kept discussing. From the second stage onwards, the progress of this team was extremely fast and stable. Lin Yuan''s decision-making, including the arrangement of killing the sawtooth horses, was also without any problems. "Add," Zheng Yin looked at the screen and coldly said one word. The staff of the military base hesitated and asked, "Do... Do you want to add more?" Zheng Yin coldly said, "Yes." The staff nodded and then continued to operate the control machine in front of him. What they meant by "add" was to increase the difficulty. Zheng Yin wanted to see what the limit of this group of freshmen was. "Level three fierce beast, human-faced centipede." The staff looked at Zheng Yin and Zheng Yin nodded slightly. The staff could only inputmands. In the next moment, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon, a centipede that was nearly a hundred meters long began to surge in the dark night. ... It was extremely difficult to escape on a rainy night. Wu Di''s left leg was hurting faintly, but he was still helping the team to cover the rear, continuously killing the three-headed monsters at the rear. In this team, Lin Yuan was a level two martial artist, while Han Yu was a long-range mage-type martial artist. Only he and Jiang Yining could be the main force in a frontal battle. Swoosh! Wu Di''s left leg, which was moving at high speed, stepped on the slippery ground. Suddenly, he staggered and fell backward. "Ah!!!" A three-headed monster seized the opportunity and instantly pounced on Wu Di. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at Wu Di! Right at this moment, a precise ck Gold Bolt pierced through the rainy night and urately hit the three-headed monster on Wu Di''s body! Green blood sttered all over Wu Di''s face, but before he could recover, Lin Yuan pulled Wu Di up. "Don''t stargaze!" "Let''s go!" Lin Yuan''s roar woke Wu Di up from his terror. In the distance, Han Yu kept releasing fireballs to kill the three-headed monster around him. At the same time, he also shouted, "Move! Move!" "D*mn it!" "We can''t hold on much longer!" Feeling the number of spirit stones in his interspatial ring, Lin Yuan''s face turned serious. Every time he shot out a ck Gold Bolt, he could not take it back on the rainy night. If this continued, the support he could provide to the team would be greatly reduced. Chapter 36: Photon Pistol! Chapter 36: Photon Pistol! "Ao, ao, ao..." Dark green beast blood sttered everywhere, and a few heavily injured three-headed monsters crawled on the ground, their blood still gurgling non-stop. Tap... Tap tap... The five of them fled frantically in the rainy night as their clothes were soaked by the rain. Wu Di''s left leg was also more severely injured from the fall just now. After an hour of running and attacking, the five of them disappeared into the forest in the canyon. They were panting heavily under an ancient tree. "Hu..." "Hu..." "It seems like... They aren''t chasing us anymore." Han Yu kept looking back, and his spirit energy was almost exhausted. However, before everyone could let out a sigh of relief, a terrifying vibration suddenly sounded in front of them! Boom! Boom! The ground shook slightly, and everyone felt a shocking auraing from the ground. "F*ck you..." Everyone looked up, and Han Yu''s curse was instantly stuck in his throat. In the sky above this ancient tree, a ferocious human face was rolling its eyes. Under the nearly 100-meter-long body, the countless centipedes'' legs were shining ck! "Be careful!" Lin Yuan shouted. At the same time, the human-faced centipede roared, and countless centipede legs swept towards the forest! Rumble! Arge number of ancient trees fell. Han Yu suddenly cursed, "They really want to f*cking kill us!" The human-faced centipede was a level three ferocious beast. Its nature was brutal. Each of its legs was extremely prative and carried a lethal poison! This was also the first time Lin Yuan had seen such a huge level three ferocious beast. "We can''t escape." He looked at Jiang Lu, who was already exhausted, and Wu Di, who was injured. Jiang Yining held the Thundercloud Sword tightly in her hand and looked at the huge human-faced centipede in front of her. Seeing the human-faced centipede approaching, Lin Yuan shouted at Wu Di, "Wu Di! Can you still fight?" "I need two minutes!" Hearing this, Wu Di immediately stood up with Jiang Lu''s help. He held the Sparrow Moon Longsword tightly with both hands. He released thest bit of lightning spirit energy and stood in front of Lin Yuan. "Leave it to me." He knew what Lin Yuan was going to do. Photon Pistol, the power that this mechanical-type spirit skill could release far exceeded their currentbat strength afterbining with Lin Yuan''s level three Blue me Stone. Lin Yuan took two steps back, took a deep breath, and began to disassemble and assemble the countless spirit stones and mechanical energy. "Automatic mechanism..." "Gun barrel, gun barrel cover, reentry spring, reentry spring guide rod..." "Firing mechanism..." Under such a tense environment, Lin Yuan forced himself to calm down and began to assemble the Photon Pistol! "Help Lin Yuan stall for two minutes!" Wu Di held the Sparrow Moon Longsword and shouted at Jiang Yining and Han Yu. The few of them looked at each other and formed a tacit understanding in their predicament. At the same time, they shot at the human-faced centipede! The human-faced centipede was one of the most well-known level three ferocious beasts in the middle school textbooks. Although its human face was too ferocious and terrifying, it was its fatal weakness, too. Hiss hiss hiss... The human-faced centipede let out a series of ear-piercing screeches, the intense sound waves spreading crazily! Jiang Lu, who was not far from Lin Yuan, saw this and dashed forward. Jiang Lu endured the pain of the sound wave attack and used her soft hands to cover Lin Yuan''s ears. He did not want Lin Yuan to be disturbed during the process of condensing! Boom! The giant tail of the human-faced centipede fell toward the forest like a terrifying sawtooth. Countless trees copsed, and gravel flew everywhere. Wu Di leaped up. His entire body flickered with a weak golden electric light, condensing on the Sparrow Moon Longsword in his hand! He shed at the densely packed legs of the human-faced centipede with all his strength! Crack! Three centipede legsnded on the ground, emitting a pungent smell. Looking up again, Jiang Yining had already nimbly stepped on the trees and jumped onto the back of the human-faced centipede, dashing towards its head! "Be careful!" At the same time that Wu Di cried out in rm, the two thin legs of the human-faced centipede stabbed towards Jiang Yining from the left and right! Swoosh! Swoosh! Two shes of lightning shed and disappeared, and two thin legs also broke with a sound. "Ao..." The human-faced centipede howled miserably while its body twisted crazily. In order to stabilize her body, Jiang Yining''s Thundercloud Sword suddenly stabbed into the back of the human-faced centipede! The Thundercloud Sword pierced into the human-faced centipede with great difficulty. Jiang Yining''s pretty face flushed red, and she used all the strength in her body to press down the Thundercloud Sword. However, the hardness of the human-faced centipede''s body waspletely beyond her imagination. She thrust down with all her strength and only managed to pierce a small part of it. As the human-faced centipede struggled crazily, Jiang Yining held onto the Thundercloud Sword tightly and was forcefully thrown out together with the sword! "Let me do it!" Han Yu roared angrily and the fire-type spirit energy in his hand began to erupt and condense! An orange-red light instantly rose around Han Yu''s body. The scorching orange-red mes slowly gathered in his hands and formed a fireball with a diameter of one meter! A wave of heat spread out, and the mes burned fiercely. In the darkness of the night, this fireball was as dazzling as the sun! Han Yu used all his strength, raised the fireball above his head, and fiercely smashed it at the enormous human-faced centipede! Boom! The fireball hit the human-faced centipede''s body, and the sound of an explosion rang out, and a scorching aura spread in all directions. Half of the human-faced centipede''s legs was blown away by the explosion, and one could even see the flesh and blood inside! After experiencing the initial panic, the three level three martial artists quickly calmed down. Under thebined efforts of the three of them, they would not be instantly killed by the human-faced centipede. However, the three of them had already experienced a series of battles and their spirit energy was exhausted. At this moment, they were almost exhausted. ... Jiang Lu stared at Lin Yuan''s hands. In Lin Yuan''s hands, there seemed to be something like a digital shard continuously gathering. A Photon Pistol that was shing with silver-gray light gradually condensed into form! This miraculous condensation process also made the instructors behind the screen look at each other in dismay. Zheng Yin said expressionlessly, "Capture all his battle videos." "Send them to Elder Luo." The staff nodded, "Yes!" ... "It''s done!" When Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his legs suddenly exploded and he instantly joined the battlefield! "Level three Blue me Stone! Condense!" The mechanical energy of the grade-three Blue me Stone was dposed and condensed by Lin Yuan within ten seconds. The mechanical-type spirit energy surged, and the mechanical energy of the Blue me Stone was quicklypressed into a bullet! Bang! Lin Yuan pulled the trigger, followed by a loud bang! Blue light cut through the rainy night and hit the huge human-faced centipede with lightning speed! Boom! Boom! The powerful mechanical energy of the blue me bullet shot into the heavily injured part of the human-faced centipede, causing a second explosion in its body! "Ao..." The human-faced centipede''s painful howl echoed through the earth. Its body was in great pain because of the second explosion of the blue me bullet. "Han Yu!" "Water Cloud Jump!" Seeing the human-faced centipede struggling in pain, Lin Yuan naturally would not let go of this opportunity. He shouted at Han Yu. Han Yu understood. He had used this move when he was in the Flowing Cloud Swamp. Using thest bit of spirit energy in his body, Han Yu released his spirit skill, Water Cloud Jump. Lin Yuan took the opportunity to run and jump. Following Han Yu''s outburst, a water pir shot up from the ground and caught Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan half-squatted on the water pir and rushed up into the sky with the water pir! "I see it!" When Lin Yuan jumped up, he finally saw the ferocious human face of the human-faced centipede! Chapter 37: Combat Division One Chapter 37: Combat Division One On the rainy night, countless gazes were locked onto Lin Yuan. Yet, Lin Yuan''s gaze was locked onto the hideous human face, and he pulled the trigger in the sky without hesitation! Bang! A gunshot suddenly sounded, and a blue me bullet fell from the sky, shooting into the hideous face of the human-faced centipede. The bullet seemed to tear through everything, drilling into the human-faced centipede''s head and exploding inside. Boom! "Ao!" A horrifying scream sounded in the night. Everyone could only see the human-faced centipede''s head seemed to be burning with blue mes. In the next moment, the ferocious human face gradually shattered! Bang! Bang! Bang! Lin Yuan did not care about the consequences and fired four shots consecutively in the air. He forcefully used up all of his Blue me Stone mechanical energy, afraid that the struggling human-faced centipede survived at itsst breath. Afternding steadily, Lin Yuan immediately turned to look at the human-faced centipede not far away. After its head was filled with blue me, the human-faced centipede soon lost all of its vitality. Its huge body fell on the ground and crashed into an ancient tree. Plop. Plop. The moment the human-faced centipede fell, Han Yu and Wu Di fell and sat down, allowing the rain to hit their bodies. They did not feel the slightest bit of joy when they killed the human-faced centipede. Instead, they felt a kind of exhaustion from the inside out. "D*mn it, if ites again, I''ll die for him to see..." Han Yu continuously released high-intensity spirit skills, and his spirit energy waspletely exhausted. Wu Di was even worse off. His injuries that had not fully healed were aggravated by the continuous high-intensity exertion of strength. The moment the battle stopped, he felt intense pain. Lying t in the water, he panted heavily. A white light shed. Jiang Lu used her Basic Healing Technique with all her might toplete the duty that a medical-type martial artist should do. The chaotic rainy night just now became extremely quiet at this moment. Only the sound of heavy rain falling on the ground could be heard. Lin Yuan came to the side of Wu Di, who was lying t on the ground. He actually saw a smile on Wu Di''s face. For the first time in his life, Wu Di felt like he was needed by the team and the others. This sense of responsibility was very strong, but it was full of aftertaste. "Why are you smiling?" "Nothing." "It f*cking hurts. Hurry up and give me a hand." "Ah..." .. Military Base 21. "Four rookies can actually kill a level three human-faced centipede?" "The quality of these freshmen is very high." After watching the whole process of the extremebat assessment of Lin Yuan''s team, the instructors discussed among themselves. Even Zheng Yin showed a rare look of surprise. Zheng Yin looked at the five people on the screen who were supporting each other while looking for a ce to settle down, she turned her head and asked, "How many people do you think can enter Combat Division 1?" A middle-aged instructor with a mature expression supported his chin and said, "These four are not bad." "Especially that mechanical-type kid. Old Luo would be very happy to see him." Someone around echoed, "Yeah." "The goldie and the lightning girl''s adaptability is very strong." "That little brat''s talent in spirit energy control is not ordinary." In the battle just now, although Han Yu was a little flustered at the beginning, he released a few spirit skills very well after he calmed down. Even when his spirit energy was exhausted, he could still ensure the stability of his spirit skills. As for the yellow-haired and the thunder-type girl, one of them was lightning-type while the other was thunder-type. Their Basic Martial Arts were solid, and their ability to judge the battle situation was not bad. They were both unpolished gems in the art of war. As for Lin Yuan, he was even more amazing. But at the moment, the instructor was unable to make a judgment on Lin Yuan''s mechanical-typebat mode. The Tianshui Military Academy''s first-yearbat division was divided into Combat Division 1 to Combat Division 5. All five-men outstanding teams that arrived at the military academy within 25 days would enter Combat Division 2. Five-member teams that passed would enter Combat Division 3, and those that failed would enter Combat Division 4. As for the other two divisions, Combat Division 1 was the focus of training talents that disyed extremely strongbat strength or potential during the assessment. Combat Division 5 was simply a rubbish heap. To be able to enter a military academy, one''s talent won''t be too bad. It was not easy to enter Combat Division 5 under such circumstances. It was not too much to describe them as rubbish martial artists. Zheng Yin nodded. Her opinion was basically the same as theirs. "Alright." Actually, it was closely rted to Lin Yuan for this temporarily formed team to be able to quickly adapt to this environment. If Lin Yuan had not been so calm during the process, the performance of the team would have beenpletely different. ... Next to the fire. After a night of fighting in the rain, the four of them copsed by the fire in the cave. Jiang Lu looked very serious and tried her best to cast her healing spell. Her forehead was full of sweat. "Lu, take a rest..." Han Yu could not bear to say this. Jiang Lu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She shook her head and said, "I''m fine." "You guys rest wellter. I''ll help you to watch." Along the way, the four of them hadpletely protected Jiang Lu. Every dangerous and difficult battle, she could only stand at the back and watch. It was always these four people who rushed forward to fight. The only thing she could do as a medical-type martial artist was to do her best to help the other four people recover quickly. Other than that, she could do nothing else. Lin Yuan nodded. "Okay, thank you for your hard work." After a night of fierce battle, it was almost dawn. Everyone''s spirit energy and physical condition were very poor. It was impossible for them to continue moving forward under such circumstances. Lin Yuan decisively told the team to stop and rest for a day and a night. He would wait until Wu Di''s injuries were healed by Jiang Lu. The fire grew stronger and quickly dispelled the darkness, warming up the cold cave. A light crackling sound was heard in the fire. It was the sound of firewood burning. It was crisp and mesmerizing. Wu Di grimaced in pain under Jiang Lu''s treatment, but he forced himself to endure it. "I really can''t take it anymore." "If I have to do it again, I''ll die for them to see..." Han Yu felt his body go limp, and he couldn''t exert any strength. Leaning against the rock wall, he asked Jiang Yining, "Sister Ning, why did you join the army?" The Han family and Jiang family were both aristocratic families in Qingshan City, and they knew each other quite well. Han Yu joined the army because of his father, who was still at the front line. Han Yu had said this before. However, Jiang Yining, a girl from an aristocratic family, had chosen to join the army. This was indeed a little surprising. Jiang Yining''s expression changed slightly. She smiled bitterly and said, "It''s nothing." "I just feel that the army is a little purer." Seeing that Jiang Yining did not want to say anything more, the few of them did not continue speaking. Lin Yuan leaned against the bonfire andy down. His eyelids twitched, and his vision became dimmer slowly. He hadpletely fallen asleep. Early in the morning, the weak sunlight seeped into the cave through the vines. The fire had already been extinguished, leaving only the burnt traces and charcoal. Lin Yuan pushed away the vines and walked out of the cave. Jiang Lu was holding on to her exhausted body, observing the situation around her for everyone. "Jiang Lu." When Jiang Lu heard the voice, she turned around and happened to see Lin Yuaning out of the cave. Her face was slightly red. "Ah!" Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You go and have a rest." "Thank you for your hard work." "Okay." Chapter 38: Arrival after 21 Days! Chapter 38: Arrival after 21 Days! Psychology, environment, survival, unity, and willpower. These were the five aspects of Tianshui Military Academy''s freshmen assessment. The night of the extreme rain battle allowed the five members of the team to dy for a full day and night before they set off again. After confirming that the other four members of the team, except for Jiang Lu, had entered Combat Division One, the base stopped testing Lin Yuan''s team. Without the pressure of a level three fierce beast, based on the current ability, mentality, and experience of Lin Yuan''s team, they would not be in a dangerous situation under the siege of a normal level two fierce beast. In the Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon, almost all the teams that had performed well in the first half of the assessment had been tested, and a group of freshmen had emerged. As long as they could sessfully arrive at the military academy, they would be able to sessfully enter Combat Division 1. ... "Hu..." As he approached the Twin Peaks Snow Mountain, Lin Yuan could clearly feel the cold air under his feet. It was so cold that he stomped his feet. It was already the thirteenth day since they left the military base. The whole process was within Lin Yuan''s expectations. "It''s too d*mn cold..." Han Yu squeezed his body and released his spirit energy to protect his body from the cold. Jiang Yining looked up at the sky. "Look." Hum hum hum... In the sky above Twin Peaks Snow Mountain, several helicopters were circling, ready to rescue the freshmen who were in a bad situation at any time. It was rare to see so many helicopters in the previous areas. Simr to their previous guess, the fierce beast attacks were under the control of the military academy and would not harm their lives. However, fighting against nature waspletely different. The highest elevation of Twin Peaks Snow Mountain was 14,511 meters, and the temperature was extremely low. If one wanted to stay here, they had to use their spirit energy to fight against it. For a level two martial artist, this was not a small consumption. In addition to the difficulty of the snowy mountain road, they had to gather the spirit energy of five people together and support each other in order to get through it. This was the unity in the assessment. "We can''t stay on the snowy mountain for too long. We''ll need to cross the snowy mountain in three days." "We''ll reach here tonight. We''ll cross the snowy mountain all day tomorrow and try to reach this position before the sky gets dark." Lin Yuan marked two locations on the map. They were the camps at the front mountain and the back mountain. Although the highest elevation of Twin Peaks Snow Mountain was more than 10,000 meters, there was no need for them to take the most difficult path. "Okay." "No problem." The four of them nodded and followed Lin Yuan step by step on the snow as they walked toward the camp on the mountainside. After 14 days of experience, everyone''s mentality had undergone an earth-shattering change. From the initial nervousness to a breakdown, to getting used to it, and finally to the confidence they had at this moment, this was the purpose of the military academy''s freshmen assessment. The camp in the mountains was bone-chilling cold. However, the five people who had started the fire were roasting sawtooth horse meat. They took turns keeping vigil, releasing their spirit energy to protect each other while they rested. Soon, a night passed. The next morning, everyone took advantage of the slight increase in temperature to set foot on the road to cross the Twin Peaks Snow Mountain. Wu Di was at the front. With every breath, a bone-chilling chill was sucked into his lungs, and he felt a slight tingling pain. As they climbed higher, the snowstorm on the snow mountain was also getting stronger! "The five of us need to stay close!" "Circte your spirit energy!" "Okay." In this environment, the five of them did not care about whether men and women were intimate or not. They supported each other. The previously vast and destend was gradually reced by the snow, and the temperature of the surrounding air was constantly dropping. The snow-capped mountains towered into the clouds. From time to time, a blizzard would pour down, apanied by a violent cold current. Three level three martial artists, Wu Di, Jiang Yining, and Han Yu, took turns leading the team. Five level two martial artists could safely pass through the Twin Peaks Snow Mountains together, so it was not difficult in theory. Jiang Lu almost slipped twice after exhausting herself, but she was quickly lifted up by Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining. The spirit energy of the five of them formed a whole and continued to move forward. Rumble! When they reached the peak, Lin Yuan kept observing the situation around him and growled in a low voice, "Faster!" "There''s a small avnche here!" "Okay!" Just as they passed through a depression, they suddenly felt a tremor under their feet. Then, they heard a loud noise. On the snowy mountain, a huge mountain-like snow block slid down like a waterfall! Wu Di turned around and cursed when he saw the small avnche, "F*ck!" "Everything I''m afraid of wouldnd!" "I''m really the main character!" With a loud rumble, the snow on the small hill slid down! Seeing the scale of the avnche, Lin Yuan gathered the mechanical power in his hand and quickly formed a shield in front of him. "It''s not big!" "Hold on tight!" "Ah!" As the earth and mountains shook, countless snow hit Lin Yuan''s shield. The shocking impact shocked the five of them. After using all their strength, the five of them were still flipped over and slid down with the small avnche! However, because the scale of the avnche was not big, they were not injured or buried in the snow when they stopped sliding down. "Come!" Lin Yuan pulled Jiang Lu up from the snow and shouted to the people behind him, "Are you hurt?" Han Yu and Jiang Yining replied one after another, "I''m fine." "No!" Wu Di''s body was trembling as he said, "Hurry... Hurry up..." Fortunately, this was the snow mountain that was controlled by the Tianshui Kingdom. If it was a real snow mountain filled with fierce beasts, they would not be able to handle two fierce beasts at this moment. The five of them walked shoulder to shoulder in the snowstorm. ... Twenty-one days had passed since the assessment. When Lin Yuan and the others passed through the Tianshui in and saw the modern metropolis in the distance, they all smiled brightly. "We''re finally here!" "Ah..." "It''s not easy!" They were so happy when they were about to reach the finish line. Even the originally beautiful Jiang Yining was dirty all over. After 21 days of training, they couldn''t be said to havepletely transformed. But to a certain extent, they were already ahead of the geniuses who had just set off for the martial arts academy. "Let''s go!" The five of them walked side by side towards the city in front of them. ... Tianshui City was a separate city. In the center of the city was the southwest branch of Tianshui Military Academy. All the students of the military academy in the entire southwest were there to undergo arduous training and be real soldiers. Of course, there were also a few civilians and merchants in the city. Many civilians were the direct rtives of the soldiers. For example, when a certain soldier retired and became an instructor at the Tianshui Military Academy, his wife and children would inevitably live in Tianshui City. Some of the direct descendants of the soldiers had grown up near the military academy since they were young. Their growth trajectory waspletely different from that of Lin Yuan and the others. The vendors were all specially supplied by the military. They were all at cost prices and could only be exchanged with credits. This was also to stimte the enthusiasm of the new cadets in their cultivation. These resources were to be piled up on top of these new cadets. After entering Tianshui City, they felt a sense of absent-mindedness. They were not used to returning to the city from the fierce battle in the wild. The sun was already setting. Lin Yuan led the team through two streets and soon found the south gate of Tianshui Military Academy. At the south gate, military academy staff wearing military uniforms were registering the arrival of a team from another province. Chapter 39: Luxurious Dining Hall Chapter 39: Luxurious Dining Hall Overall, Lin Yuan''s team''s 21-day result was not considered fast. If there were five level three martial artists from other provinces and cities forming a team, their overall speed might be faster than Lin Yuan''s team. Therefore, before Lin Yuan''s team arrived, there were already elite teams arriving one after another. "Give me the card." "Name." "Lin Yuan." The staff member of the military academy took the student card from Lin Yuan. He inserted it into the machine and continued to input. [ss of 2022: Combat Division 1]. When they saw the evaluation of the military academy''s entrance results, this staff member and the two young men in yellow uniforms next to them were surprised. After recording the information of the five people, everyone received their military academy cards one after another. "Zihao, I''ll leave this team to you." "Okay!" ... Lin Yuan and the others followed the enthusiastic senior into Tianshui Military Academy. They went straight to the dormitory area of Combat Division One and Medical Division Two. Looking at the military academy cards that had recorded the results, Lin Yuan asked politely, "Senior, has the result of our freshman assessment been decided?" The tall and thin senior in front of him was called Chen Zihao. He was a martial artist from ss 2020 Combat Division 3. He had introduced himself when they entered the military academy. Chen Zihao looked at the few of them and nodded enviously. "Yes, all four of you have entered the firstbat division. That little beauty is in the second medical division." Wu Di flipped through the military academy card in his hand and asked in puzzlement, "What is the firstbat division? Is it very awesome?" As he walked, Chen Zihao clicked his tongue and said, "That is not just any awesome." "Those who can enter Combat Division 1 are all the elites of the elite." Next, Chen Zihao introduced to everyone the freshmen performance evaluation and the five division system in the military academy. Freshmen from Division 1 would wear red uniforms; Division 2 would be orange uniforms; Division 3 would be yellow uniforms; Division 4 would be green uniforms and Division 5 would be white uniforms. When they heard that those that arrived after 25 days were only allowed to enter Combat Division 2, everyone''s eyes lit up. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other''s eyes. It was definitely due to the extreme test! When they were resting and discussing, they had said that the human-faced centipede was definitely arranged by the military academy. It seemed that they were right. Killing it together had allowed them to receive the freshman evaluation for Combat Division One. Jiang Lu was the only exception. However, she was already very satisfied with the evaluation result. Without the four of them, she might not even have received the evaluation of Division 2. Chen Zihao sighed. "This is the five divisions of each year." "The higher the level of the military academy student, the credits they can get each month would be different, too." "As for the system of the military academy, including the whole Tianshui City, and some information for new students, I''ll introduce them to you tomorrow." "You''ve just finished your assessment. Now, I''ll take you to your dormitory and have a good rest." "Then, I''lle to find you at about nine o''clock tomorrow morning." ... Lin Yuan, Jiang Yining, Wu Di, and Han Yu lived close to each other. The living quarters of Combat Division 1 were much better than Lin Yuan had imagined. In Lin Yuan''s mind, the military academy''s living quarters should be a very tough environment. However, the Combat Division 1 living quarters were all single-person vis with their own courtyards. "As a martial artist, we have to cultivate after all." "The living conditions of Division 1 and Division 2 are all good." "Here''s the key. I''ll take my leave now." "See you tomorrow." Senior Chen Zihao smiled and gave Lin Yuan a red key, and then walked away slowly. Lin Yuan was a little excited when he entered the room that temporarily belonged to him. "I can finally take a hot bath..." Lin Yuan was even a little teary when he opened the shower and felt the hot water. For the past twenty-one days, everyone had been tensed up and treated it as a real battle in the wild to survive. It was actually not impossible to take a hot shower. After all, Han Yu was a water and fire-type martial artist. However, it was indeed inappropriate. In addition to the fact that they might be monitored the entire time, everyone had been dirty andpleted the assessment. For all the freshmen who arrived at the military academy, the first thing was to take a shower and the second thing was to sleep. After afortable hot bath, Lin Yuan threw himself onto the bed. In just a few seconds, he closed his eyes as if he had passed out,pletely falling asleep. ... For all the freshmen who had grown up in a peaceful environment, these twenty-one days of training were absolutely effective. The next morning, when Lin Yuan woke up, he felt that the whole world seemed to be filled with hope. Lin Yuan closed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the bright morning sun. "Phew..." "I feel that my spirit energy has increased a lot," Lin Yuan exhaled a long breath of turbid air in his body and said to himself in surprise. All the new students in the past twenty-one days were equal to practicing extremely high-intensity cultivation. Although the process of spirit energy constantly being exhausted was painful, the effect of the cultivation was definitely far beyond the usual cultivation state. "It''s definitely not a problem to break through eleven meridians. There might stand a chance to break through to a level three martial artist." Although the total amount of spirit energy in Lin Yuan''s body could not be sensed, he felt that it had increased to around 130 points. He could try to break through when he came back at night. "Gurgle..." "Gurgle..." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan''s stomach interrupted his thought. "Time for breakfast." Yesterday, when Chen Zihao brought them to Combat Division 1, they passed by the cafeteria of Combat Division 1. With the military academy card, they could enjoy it for free. The cafeteria of the five divisions had a difference in the quality of the natural ingredients and the environment. In the entire Combat Division 1, there were only about 500 freshmen every year. The seniors in Combat Division 1 were rarely in the academy. They usually went out on missions or entered the battlefield ahead of time. It was not like the seniors in Division 3 or 4. They would only be assigned by the state after they finished their studies in the military academy. "F*ck." Lin Yuan swiped his military academy card and entered the cafeteria of Combat Division 1. He could not help but exim in a low voice. He suddenly felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. The entire cafeteria was filled with an alluring fragrance due to the precious ingredients and the superb culinary skills. In addition, there were very few people and the whole ce was very quiet, so it appeared extremely luxurious. The military academy used the country''s money to train soldiers. For the future elites of Combat Division One, they naturally invested a lot of resources. The so-called suffering in the public''s eyes would not be in terms of resources. However, once one entered the military academy, it was the same as handing his future to the country. Lin Yuan walked around the cafeteria and saw countless rare ingredients. For example, the goldfin cod that Uncle Wu had always been thinking about. Here, it was actually stewed with a few herbs into a very fragrant cod porridge. "Nice to meet you." Lin Yuan sat down in a corner and lowered his head to take a sip. The soft and smooth feeling instantly filled his entire mouth. A warm current instantly entered Lin Yuan''s body, replenishing the vitality in his body. Chapter 40: Military Academy System Chapter 40: Military Academy System 9 am. Senior Chen Zihao drove a small car that looked like a tour bus to Lin Yuan''s residence. After a night, the originally dirty team became extremely beautiful. Jiang Lu sat in the back seat and waved her hand, looking cute and moving. "How did you sleepst night?" Chen Zihao saw Lin Yuan and the others get into the tour bus and turned around to ask enthusiastically. Han Yu replied from the second row, "I''ve never felt sofortable before." Chen Zihaoughed out loud. "Hahaha, it''s always been like this. You''ll get used to it." "Let''s go. I''ll introduce the entire military academy and Tianshui City to you." ... The leisurely sightseeing car started up. At the entrance of Combat Division 1, there were three magnificent statues. They were all made of special crystals and shone brilliantly under the sunlight. Chen Zihao introduced them. "These three people are the god of fire, the god of war, and the god of army." Hearing these three titles, Lin Yuan and the others nodded their heads. They had learned the lives of these three legendary figures of Tianshui Army when they were in high school. They were all figures from hundreds of years ago and had long passed away. "The entire academy is divided intobat and medical departments." "Each department is divided into five divisions. There is a gap in the amount of credits avable for each level." "Division 1 has 15,000 credits per month, Division 2 has 5,000 credits, Division 3 has 3,000 credits, Division 4 has 2,000 credits, and Division 5 has 1,000 credits." "Your current military academy card has 15,000 credits." Han Yu took out his military academy card and said in surprise, "There are so many credits for Division 1pared to others?" Chen Zihao nodded enviously and said, "Yes, Division 1 is all the elites that the academy has trained. In the future, they will all be the main force in the alliance battlefield." "They will definitely get the most resources." "Otherwise, why would the second division want to squeeze into the first division?" Lin Yuan''s heart sank and he frowned, "We can even skip divisions?" Chen Zihao replied, "Yes, I don''t know much about how the medical department switches divisions." "But thebat department will have a switch duel around the middle of every month." "The elite of Division 3 will challenge the elite of Division2, and the elite of Division 2 will challenge the elite of Division 1." Wu Di''s heart was suddenly gripped. "Change division after losing?" "That''s right." "Hiss..." Competition was the core system of the military academy! Chen Zihao said with aforting smile, "However, generally speaking, the change of divisions will not be too frequent. Don''t worry." "The instructors have all gone through aprehensive evaluation before they have included you in Division 1." "The new students haven''t officially started their sses yet, so there''s still more than a month left." "You have more resources than those in Division 2. ording to my experience, the sess rate of switching divisions isn''t considered high." Generally speaking, after a few months, the members of Division 1 would be more stable. As they were all the strongest batch, their innate talent and strength were already in the lead. In addition to more cultivation resources and personal guidance from the instructors, the gap was very easy to widen. "What does the instructor mean?" Chen Zihao continued to exin, "It means the instructors of each type." "Take the Combat Division 1 as an example. The freshmen of the Combat Division 1 probably have a total of around 500 people." "For example, the lightning-type practitioner might only have a total of 10 people." "The lightning-type might have five Qi path people and five weapon path people." "Then when you attend the specialized type''s instructor ss, you can actually receive the instructor''s personal guidance." Chen Zihao stopped at the "Course area" within Combat Division 1. As he got out of the car, he said, "Think about it." "Combat Division 2, the same lightning-type weapon path practitioner, probably has at least 200 people." "There are even more people in Division 3 and 4. Within the ss, there''s no way to cover all aspects." "It''s not as effective as Division 1." This reason is not difficult to understand, even Han Yu and Wu Di nodded. Division 1 not only had the strongest mentors but also could get one-on-one coaching. "Because there are fewer people in Division 1, so basically a lot of courses are together." "It''s all in this course area." "Including geography, military, and martial arts..." Military academies and martial arts colleges were not quite the same. Generally speaking, martial arts colleges only needed the students to make continuous progress in martial arts. There were very few geography sses and military sses. However, military academies needed to improve the overall military literacy of the warriors. A small team with high military literacy would have stronger execution, thus stronger the team would be. Special terrain battle methods, battle situation handling methods, and so on... These courses were not many, one section per week, but it was apulsory course for military academy students. ... The entire area was extremely well-equipped. There were also many specialized training areas, including nerve reaction, spirit energy control, and so on. The four of them followed behind Chen Zihao for a tour of Combat Division 1, and then received two sets of red uniforms in the teaching building. "There''s no need for you to wear that heavy military uniform in school." "You won''t be able to use the level two uniforms in the future either." "The academy will probably give you new uniform when there''s abat mission in the future." Chen Zihao saw that a few of them were still wearing the level two military uniforms from the freshmen assessment, so he reminded them. This level two military uniform was actually provided by the military academy because they were afraid that these freshmen would havebat idents during the freshmen assessment. Although there was a basicmand not to kill on the mechanical chips of all fierce beasts, it was inevitable that there would be idents. This level two military uniform could protect a few vital parts. At most, it would only cause serious injuries. Everyone changed into their respective red uniforms. As expected, it was much lighter. In the military academy, those who wore the red uniform were the focus. There were no exceptions. "I''ll show you the way to the other areas. You won''t go there often though." "Except for the ''Three Spirit Skill Building'' in the center of the military academy." "Those are the three buildings. Do you see them?" They looked in the direction that Chen Zihao pointed. As expected, they saw three huge buildings that looked like towers in the distance. "That''s the Three Spirit Skill Building." "All the spirit skills are disyed inside. All the students can copy and borrow from the first and second floors." "But not the third floor." After Chen Zihao said that, Han Yu immediately asked, "Why?" "Is there high-level spirit skill?" Chen Zihao shook his head and said, "The third floor is full of spirit skills that are unique to Tianshui Kingdom." "The spirit skills on the first and second floor are actually avable in every country. They are considered regr spirit skills." "But I''m not too sure about the details. After all, they are too far away from me. You can ask your instructors if you are curious in the future." As Chen Zihao introduced, even Lin Yuan''s eyes gradually lit up. The spirit skills of the military academy could be learned for free by all the students of the military academy. It was the same even for the inferior students of Division 4 and 5. One had to know that a spirit skill manual was sold at an astronomical price outside the academy. "Most of the new students haven''t arrived at the academy yet. You can go and take a look for yourselves in the next few days. I won''t take you there." "The business district is outside the academy, including the medicinal pills and the weapon pavilion." "I''ll take you to take a lookter. These are all exchanged with credits." ... Just as Chen Zihao drove the sightseeing car away from the Combat Division 1 area, an old man with ck-rimmed sses, who looked old but was actually full of energy, passed by them. He was panting heavily. He went straight to Lin Yuan''s residence. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
