"The Wild Horse Mane Split of Ancient Beast Fist isn't practiced like this!"
In the Sixth Base City, Yian District, Second High School, in a classroom by the window, a handsome young man, Han Lin, rested his chin on his hand, bored, watching his younger schoolmates practice "Ancient Beast Fist" under the scorching sun outside the window. He sighed softly and muttered to himself.
Six years had passed since Han Lin transmigrated to this world, and he had gradually adapted to life here. Now, recalling his past life on Earth felt like a dream.
"In my previous life, I was just an orphan and a workhorse enjoying the 996 blessing. There's really nothing to miss about that kind of life!" Han Lin sighed, extended a finger, and lightly tapped his temple twice. The next moment, a semi-transparent light screen interface appeared before him.
【Name: Han Lin】
【Age: 18 years old】
【Realm: Acquired Realm Fifth Layer】
【Attributes: Root Bone 8, Qi and Blood 9, Mental Energy 12】
【Skills: Ancient Beast Fist (Great Accomplishment), Willow Leaf Movement Technique (Great Accomplishment), Five Elements Fist (Minor Accomplishment)…】
"With a Root Bone of only 8 points, the four One-Star Immortal Sect Universities are out of the question. I can only look at the score line for the Two Star Deity Sect University this year…" Han Lin shook his head, thinking to himself, "There are still three months until the College Entrance Examination. If I can cultivate the Five Elements Fist to the next realm, my Qi and Blood value will at least break through ten points. That way, I'll have two attributes above ten points, and reaching the Two-Star line shouldn't be a problem."
Perhaps because this body was also named Han Lin, his fusion with it was very thorough, equivalent to the Mental Energy of two ordinary people, which naturally made Han Lin's Mental Energy attribute about twice as strong as an ordinary person's, reaching twelve points. However, his Qi and Blood value was no different from an ordinary person's; even after cultivating for six years, it had only reached nine points.
As for Root Bone, the average Root Bone of ordinary people is between five and six. For Han Lin's body to reach eight points is considered a rare talent.
"Han Lin, have you heard?" His deskmate gently nudged Han Lin's arm and whispered, "Our graduating class is going to be taught Visualization Method!"
Han Lin was stunned, his eyes wide, disbelievingly saying, "That can't be true, right? Isn't that only taught at City Key High School? We're just an ordinary high school in the district, how could we… If that's true, wouldn't those people at City Key High School cause an uproar!"
Visualization Method was a scarce resource, originally only taught at City Key High Schools in various Base Cities. Other ordinary high schools couldn't even dream of it…
"My uncle said so. There's been educational reform. How many people are there in key high schools? This issue started causing trouble ten years ago, every year, and it's been dragged out until now…" His deskmate whispered, "And the four One-Star Immortal Sect Universities also collectively raised opinions, saying that the number of student sources is too small, and the Blue Star Alliance's Ministry of Education is under too much pressure and can't bear it anymore…"
"Hmph, it should have been like this long ago!" A look of joy appeared on Han Lin's face. If ordinary high schools could also start teaching Visualization Method, then his Root Bone attribute might also break through to ten points or more. At that time, he might not be unable to reach the score line for a One-Star Immortal Sect University!
"By the way, did your vice principal uncle say anything else?" Han Lin couldn't help but ask, "When will they start teaching Visualization Method? There are only three months left until the College Entrance Examination, I wonder if it will be too late…"
"I don't know, I just overheard it…"
Just then, the classroom door was pushed open. The homeroom teacher frowned slightly, scanned the entire class, and the original noise instantly ceased. The classroom became quiet, and everyone obediently looked towards the homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher walked onto the podium, and a rare smile appeared on his usually stern face.
"Students, I have good news for everyone…" The homeroom teacher looked towards Han Lin, pointing at him and saying, "Han Lin, put away your attribute panel and listen carefully. This news is very important to you and might change the course of your life!"
Han Lin quickly tapped his temple twice, put away his personal attribute panel, and looked at the homeroom teacher with anticipation.
The homeroom teacher saw Han Lin put away his attribute panel, nodded, and continued, "From today onwards, all third-year high school classes will add a new course: Basic Visualization Method!"
Visualization Method!
Whoosh~
The entire class instantly erupted. As third-year high school students, how could they not know about Visualization Method? That was a privilege only students from key high schools had.
As long as one learned Visualization Method, they could improve their Root Bone attribute, and it even had benefits for breaking through the Acquired Realm and advancing to the Innate Realm!
Although Visualization Methods were sold in the city, most of those circulating on the market were incomplete. Out of ten people who practiced them, at least nine would suffer qi deviation, and they were expensive. For ordinary students, Visualization Method was a luxury that was out of reach!
"Teacher, is it true? Will you really teach us Visualization Method?" A student couldn't help but ask loudly.
"That's right!" The homeroom teacher nodded and said, "This time, not only will we teach you Visualization Method, but we will also let you participate in the College Entrance Examination alongside the third-year students from the Base City's key high schools. Every one of you will have the opportunity to apply to the four One-Star Immortal Sect Universities!"
Immortal Sect, God Sect, and Dao Academy represented the One-Star, Two-Star, and Three-Star universities, respectively. The four Immortal Sect Universities, thirty-six God Sect Universities, and seventy-two Dao Academy Universities were all the universities currently established by the Blue Star Alliance.
In previous years, over ninety-nine percent of students from ordinary high schools were not qualified to apply to One-Star Immortal Sect Universities. At most, they could only apply to Two-Star God Sect Universities and Three-Star Dao Academy Universities. The fundamental reason was that ordinary high schools did not teach Visualization Method. Without learning Visualization Method, it was very difficult for the Root Bone attribute to break through ten points. In previous years, the entry standard for applying to One-Star Immortal Sect Universities was for the Root Bone, Qi and Blood, and Mental Energy attributes to all reach above 10 points.
Qi and Blood were the easiest to improve; as long as one followed the routine and cultivated the techniques taught by the school, most people's Qi and Blood values could increase to over ten points. Mental Energy was second; only some special techniques or heavenly treasures could improve it. However, improving the Root Bone attribute was the most difficult! Besides the legendary heavenly treasures, the only way to improve it was Visualization Method! Therefore, unless it was a genius whose innate Root Bone could reach 10 points, ordinary high school students, based on the average Root Bone of 6 points for ordinary people, were not qualified to apply to One-Star Immortal Sect Universities.
Moreover, how could a genius whose innate Root Bone could reach 10 points appear in an ordinary high school? Once a Root Bone attribute of ten points was detected, they would have already been admitted early by the City Key High School…
"Han Lin!" The homeroom teacher suddenly called out his name, "Your innate Root Bone is eight points. If you learn Visualization Method, in three months, as long as you can reach the Minor Accomplishment realm, your Root Bone has the potential to break through to ten points or more!"
"It's just that your Qi and Blood value is only nine points, and your realm is only Acquired Realm Fifth Layer, which is a bit low. In these last three months, push yourself and make a sprint. It's best if you can raise your realm to Acquired Realm Upper Grade. That way, your chances of passing the One-Star Immortal Sect University score line will be greater. Work hard and don't leave any regrets!" the homeroom teacher said.
The Acquired Realm is divided into three grades: Lower, Middle, and Upper. Layers one to three are Lower Grade, four to six are Middle Grade, and seven to nine are Upper Grade! If Han Lin's Root Bone and Mental Energy attributes were outstanding among his classmates, then his cultivation realm was just average. A cultivation of Acquired Realm Fifth Layer was truly nothing to boast about.
"Understood, Wang Teacher, I will definitely work hard!" Han Lin said loudly.
If he could get into a One-Star Immortal Sect University, in addition to bringing glory to his ancestors, he would not be conscripted by the Blue Star Alliance for expansion wars within ten years. Furthermore, with the resources within a One-Star Immortal Sect University, he might even have hope of breaking through the Acquired Realm and becoming an Innate expert. Thinking of this, Han Lin couldn't help but get excited.
"Finally, I want to particularly commend Du Tong and Song Yanan. I never thought that our Class 5 of third year could have two students at Acquired Realm Seventh Layer!"
Wang Hongguo put down the tablet in his hand with a look of emotion. His usually stern face softened, and his gaze turned towards the one boy and one girl who stood up in the class.
These were the two top students in their class, the most outstanding elites in terms of attributes. They had already broken through to Acquired Realm Seventh Layer before the College Entrance Examination, and their Qi and Blood and Mental Energy values both exceeded twelve points. They had also cultivated the Ancient Beast Fist taught at school to the Perfected Realm.
With such achievements, they were basically guaranteed admission to a Two-Star God Sect University and could definitely attempt to break through to the Innate Realm within ten years. If they succeeded, they would become Divine Power seeds in the future, with a chance to become Divine Power Realm experts. No matter which God Sect University they attended, they would be key cultivation targets.
Han Lin also looked envious. The reason he practiced a second set of boxing techniques and cultivated it to the Minor Accomplishment realm was because his Ancient Beast Fist had always been unable to break through the Great Accomplishment realm and reach the Perfected Realm. He had no choice but to practice a second set of boxing techniques.
It should be known that every martial skill is divided into five realms:入門 , 精通 , 小成 , 大成 , and 圓滿 . With each increase in realm, depending on the boxing technique's attributes, there will be varying degrees of increase in Qi and Blood value. Moreover, the further the realm, the greater the increase. The attribute increase from breaking through from Great Accomplishment to Perfected Realm is almost equivalent to the sum of the increases from Beginner to Great Accomplishment!
When Ancient Beast Fist reaches the Minor Accomplishment realm, it will increase Qi and Blood by one point. At the Great Accomplishment realm, it will increase by two points. If it can reach the Perfected Realm, it will increase by three points. At that time, Han Lin's Qi and Blood value will be able to increase to twelve points, meeting the Qi and Blood requirement for applying to a One-Star Immortal Sect University.
"Alright, today's class ends here. Go back and adjust your state. Tomorrow, prepare to start learning Visualization Method!" Hearing the school bell ring, Wang Hongguo announced the end of class.
All the students dispersed in a rush.
Han Lin grabbed his backpack and jumped directly out of the open window, rushing towards the cultivation room.
At this moment, the benefits of cultivating Willow Leaf Movement Technique to the Great Accomplishment realm immediately became apparent. Han Lin's figure, like a willow leaf dancing in the wind, crossed the sports field, arriving at the first floor of the cultivation building before most other people.
He rushed into the cultivation building's entrance, having no time to choose, saw an open cultivation room, and directly rushed inside.
"Beep!"
Han Lin swiped his electronic student card, and the word "Empty" on the electronic screen at the cultivation room's entrance instantly changed to "Full," then the door slowly closed.
"Damn it, that kid must be a rabbit."
Outside the door, a classmate who was a step too slow widened his eyes, cursed, and then quickly rushed towards another empty cultivation room.
Cultivation rooms were limited, and only third-year high school students were eligible for two hours of free use each day. Even so, after every class, cultivation rooms had to be snatched, otherwise, one might have to wait until seven or eight o'clock for their turn.
After entering the cultivation room, Han Lin rushed directly to the control panel, quickly tapping his finger on the virtual screen, selecting "Simulated Combat," "Arena," "Opponent Attributes," "Opponent Skills," "Opponent Realm," etc.
Han Lin completed the selection of over a dozen options in just five seconds, as if he was so familiar with this set of choices that it had become muscle memory.
Buzz~
The light in the cultivation room began to flicker, and a dense, net-like grid enveloped the entire cultivation room. Moments later, the scene inside the cultivation room changed, transforming into an indoor arena. Han Lin stood on the arena, and across from him, light intertwined, quickly forming an opponent who looked and was dressed exactly like him.
All the attributes of this virtual opponent were set by Han Lin himself. The attributes and realm were the same as his, except the "Ancient Beast Fist" skill was adjusted to the Perfected Realm!
"Please enlighten me!" Han Lin cupped his hands and bowed to the virtual opponent.
"Please enlighten me!" The virtual opponent returned the bow, stiffly and formally. Aside from slightly dull eyes, its movements were almost identical to Han Lin's.
"Take this punch, Wild Horse Mane Split!" Han Lin let out a low roar, twisted his body, and threw a punch towards the virtual opponent…
