As such, the subsequent cultivation of "Tiger Supre Fist" beca a bit simpler.
But at this stage, the most significant improvent for him was the "Tiger Evil," which made his eyes light up upon seeing its power to intimidate malevolent spirits. In ancient tis, "Void Things" were also called "malevolent spirits." However, they were renad "Void Things" after Da Xia discovered the "Void Realm." In so foreign regions, there are various superstitions such as "evil spirits," "demons," and "malevolent spirits."
At their core, they’re all manifestations of the Void Realm.
A "First Rank Divine Seed" is only the lowest grade of beginner Divine Seeds. As one progresses through the levels of Martial Arts and increases comprehension, the growth of one’s Martial Arts Tree can only be called a bug.
Lu Chenzhou’s mind was greatly settled, convinced that the plan of stacking comprehension was indeed feasible.
From now on, it truly was like:
"A tiger entering the mountains, with the wind and water at its back."
...
The next day.
Lu Chenzhou practiced "Tiger Supre Fist" and "Swallow Return Fist" for a period of ti and was pleasantly surprised to find that the ti needed to increase "Tiger Supre Fist" by 1% was noticeably reduced. "Swallow Return Fist" also improved, though not as much as "Tiger Supre Fist."
"Is this what it feels like when comprehension increases?"
Lu Chenzhou went to the "Qi Blood asurent Room" with satisfaction to practice his punches.
[Qi Blood Value 2.52, congratulations, you have reached the standard of Fifth Rank.]
The Perfection of "Black Tiger Fist" normally reached only Fourth Rank Qi Blood, but he practiced both tiger and swallow style along with Hard Qi Gong, propelling him into Fifth Rank in one go; it could only be said that success ca naturally.
"I’ve secured the sumr examination!"
Lu Chenzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Another course completed; there was no need to be too tense from now on.
There should be a proper balance in Martial Arts Training.
...
July 10th.
The tense and thrilling sumr examination finally arrived. The examination lasted three days, the first two of which were written tests on topics such as "Martial Arts History" and "Fist Theory."
Finishing the exams in two days, Lu Chenzhou did fairly well.
Tomorrow would be the most nerve-wracking Martial Arts assessnt.
During dinner ti.
Liu Huan walked in triumphantly, holding his dinner tray.
Huo Tianyu asked:
"Class Leader, did you find the questions difficult?"
Without hesitation, Liu Huan replied:
"Not really, they were standard. I finished all of them. How about you?"
"I did alright."
"I didn’t perform well on the written test, but with my Sixth Rank, it’s impossible for to be eliminated."
The classmates were discussing their post-exam thoughts, so happy, others worried.
Huo Tianyu looked at Lu Chenzhou who was quietly eating his al.
"Chenzhou, did you find it difficult?"
Lu Chenzhou lifted his head and thought seriously for a mont.
"It was okay, I suppose."
Liu Huan said reassuringly:
"Ah, don’t worry about it. The main thing is that you ca late. The written test scores don’t weigh much in the assessnt. You breaking through to Fourth Rank in just over a month is enough to secure your position."
"That’s right, soone from the provisional genius list can’t be expelled."
Wen Tiange sat opposite Lu Chenzhou with his dinner plate. Not only was his Martial Arts Talent excellent, but his test scores from the winter exam in January were also the highest in the class.
Lu Chenzhou felt warmth in his heart from his friends’ concern.
Dragon City High School was really quite good.
The next day, the written test results were out.
Lu Chenzhou was fifth in the class, and Liu Huan was sixth.
Liu Huan: "..."
...
After dinner, Lu Chenzhou returned to the dormitory to practice "Arhat Skill." Recently, all 24 Martial Arts Schools in Fangshan had been busy with the sumr examination, and his neighbor Wang Gang had not co over for several days.
The cross-training device was put to use once again.
[Arhat Skill: Beginner (99%) → Beginner (100%)]
Only when the breakthrough notification arrived did Lu Chenzhou cry out in pain; he quickly and evenly applied Black Jade Ointnt on his upper body, the skin searing in agony.
Sleeping that night, Lu Chenzhou felt as if ants were crawling on his body, his muscles and bones itching. The next day, he looked at his Martial Arts Tree and felt inner comfort.
[Arhat Skill: Proficient (1%)].
Cross Training Martial Arts and carrying out strike training also gradually improved proficiency.
Lu Chenzhou had discovered this long ago.
"One month and 8000 yuan for this cross-trained body, not bad."
He touched his chest, which was now rubbery and resilient, removed the cross-training rubber gloves, and let it strike him with its angular chanical arms again; the pain was much less. If he were to face that prosthetic Black Knight again, he should be able to take the hits.
"Second Class Hard Qi Gong, truly different."
...
In the afternoon, the air was hot and stifling.
The classroom was enveloped with an air of tension.
With two assessnts every year, if one consecutively fails, expulsion is the result; free resources from compulsory education aren’t easy to co by. As far as Lu Chenzhou knew, there were a few students in his class with "Interdiate root bone" who were going into their second year of high school and still had not grasped "Dark Force."
Unless there were extenuating circumstances, they would most likely have to leave.
From the state’s perspective, if you are the one in a hundred with an Interdiate root bone and have spent so much resource yet have no Dark Force, you are certainly not trying hard enough and not worth continuing to support. Of course, these students also had a chance; they could transfer to a lesser Martial Arts School like Pingjiang Martial Arts University affiliate high school without delaying their Martial Arts college entrance examination.
As evening approached, the students finished their assessnts one by one. Liu Quanhai, who was ahead of Lu Chenzhou, returned to the classroom unable to contain his joy, evidently having secured his assessnt.
"Hahaha! Class C! I’m staying at school!"
He couldn’t help but share his joy with his classmates.
The sumr and winter examinations had four grades: Class A, B, C, D.
As long as one was rated Class D, it counted as a pass.
The assessnt ratings did not depend on absolute Cultivation, but rather on a comprehensive evaluation of root bone, comprehension, ti spent in Martial Arts Training, and other factors. Liu Quanhai’s Cultivation wasn’t high, but like Lu Chenzhou, he had attended a standard high school earlier, with innate conditions worse than Liu Huan’s.
Therefore, reaching Fourth Rank was enough to secure Class C, considered good.
As for Class A, it was said even Liu Huan couldn’t reach that.
The school only had Chen Yuan rated as Class A.
"Lu Chenzhou, co to the training field."
Yu Zheng’s voice sounded.
Lu Chenzhou walked toward the training field in the glow of the setting sun.
"Lu Chenzhou from first-year class, Fifth Rank Cultivation, specializing in ’Black Tiger Fist’ and ’Tiger Supre Fist,’ the forr at Perfection, the latter at Proficiency, with additional training in Swallow Form..."
