Chapter 6: Are You Willing?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Chuan’s results were out. Two large numbers, ’94’, were displayed on the screen. Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Old Li was a little dumbfounded. This usually lukewarm Liu Chuan actually had such strength.

“Liu Chuan, strength test results: outstanding. Very good. Everyone must learn from Liu Chuan.” Old Li, who had regained his senses, then announced.

“Really? When did Liu Chuan become so fierce?”

“How would I know? This guy’s training aptitude was at Rank-F, just like mine.”

“I can understand that Wang Meng’s aptitude is at Rank-A, but could it be that Liu Chuan’s aptitude is also at Rank-A?”

“He must be on drugs. This is too fake.”

…

The students present were all discussing endlessly in shock.

Although Liu Chuan had roughly guessed his results, he still felt a little proud when he saw everyone’s shocked expressions. He was only 18 or 19 years old, so who wouldn’t want everyone’s attention?

As he walked through the crowd, Liu Chuan noticed that Lin Sisi was also looking at him strangely.

Of course, he didn’t mind. After all, he wasn’t familiar with Lin Sisi. Just as he was about to walk over, Lin Sisi unexpectedly spoke.

“Liu Chuan, it’s no wonder Wang Meng wants to team up with you. You are indeed quite strong. I was too arrogant before. I apologize for my previous actions.”

Then, Lin Sisi turned around and stopped talking.

It was as if she didn’t expect Liu Chuan to reply and only wanted to say this to him.

Lin Sisi mustered her courage to apologize to Liu Chuan in front of so many people.

“Thank you for the compliment. You’re not bad yourself. As for the rest, I don’t mind.” Liu Chuan was naturally polite.

…

Liu Chuan had just walked to Wang Meng’s side when Wang Meng came up and punched his arm. He didn’t use much strength.

Wang Meng’s face was full of surprise. “You’re good, kid. You’ve hidden your skills so deeply. How can I endure this?”

“There’s still a lot you don’t know. I still have a trick up my sleeve that I haven’t revealed yet. Just watch carefully when the time comes.” Liu Chuan whispered mysteriously to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng feigned disdain. “Do you think I believe you?”

“Hur hur, believe it or not.”

“…”

After chatting for a while, the two of them stopped talking and focused on watching the others take the test.

Soon, everyone in the class finished their test. Unexpectedly, there was another person who scored 80 points. Although he was not as good as Liu Chuan and Wang Meng, he was still comparable to Lin Sisi. It was already very rare.

After that, the speed test was carried out. This time, Wang Meng and Liu Chuan both obtained excellent results. Meanwhile, Lin Sisi was only slightly behind them.

Lastly, there was also a physical test, which used close-fitting equipment to test all aspects of one’s muscles, bone density, and other data to generate a value. Wang Meng treated this test with disdain and reached a terrifying 99 points. It could be said to be comparable to a martial artist’s physique.

Although Liu Chuan did not reach 99 points, he still reached 92 points. This made people sigh that it was as if Liu Chuan had indeed taken drugs.

After the test ended, everyone returned to their respective classrooms.

Old Li said a few more words and left in a hurry, as if he was going to report something.

…

…

“Have you confirmed the news? Without any cultivation techniques, their physical fitness was above 90 points? Furthermore, are there actually two of them? Give me the information immediately.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Principal. I’ll send the information to you now.”

Old Man Li heaved a sigh of relief after the call. He had finally found two good seedlings. Although Lin Sisi was not bad, she was still lacking as compared to Liu Chuan and Wang Meng.

“If they’re close to achieving the physique of a quasi-martial artist, they should be able to catch the attention of that person.” Old Man Li thought.

“We can only rely on ourselves for cultivation in this remote village, unlike those in other places and the aristocratic descendants. They either have elixirs to nourish themselves or have ready-made dimensional crystals to improve their physical fitness. Don’t disappoint me, Liu Chuan and Wang Meng.”

…

In the afternoon, there were still normal cultural classes and basic training classes in the school. Nowadays, humans did not receive many inherited cultivation techniques. After decades of development and improvement, the most suitable cultivation technique for humans was still the body tempering cultivation technique.

However, the body tempering cultivation technique had a huge drawback. If one’s physical fitness was too low, they would not be able to withstand the tempering of the cultivation technique and might even end up crippling themselves.

Now, many people had a misconception that the constitution of a Rank-F martial artist was at around 100 points, but that was not the case. In the past, there were indeed Rank-F martial artists whose constitution was only at 100 points, but with the development of the times, the constitution of those who had just broken through could now reach over 150 points.

Only those with physiques that were close to that of a martial artist could cultivate techniques. In other words, one’s constitution had to reach 100 points. Furthermore, whether one’s body could grow to the point where one could cultivate techniques depended on one’s talent.

However, there was always a way out. In this world, other than body-tempering cultivation techniques, there were naturally other types of cultivation techniques. It was just that they were even rarer.

Some prodigies would also have better conditions and cultivation techniques to cultivate. Meanwhile, the cultivation techniques that were circulated in public were usually only suitable for the masses, but that didn’t mean that other cultivation techniques didn’t exist.

The school had previously tested Liu Chuan’s cultivation aptitude and determined that it was at Rank-F. However, this was not the case in reality. It was very likely that Liu Chuan would never be able to become a martial artist in his life. The Rank-F rating was simply to prevent Liu Chuan, who had a glimmer of hope, lose his confidence.

The good thing was that ever since the revival of the ruins, the amount of spiritual qi in the world had increased. Humans would become stronger over time when they lived in such an environment. It was highly possible that everyone would become a martial artist in the future.

However, Liu Chuan had obtained the system this time. With the help of the system, Liu Chuan had completely changed his fate. What awaited him was destined to be extraordinary.

This morning, Liu Chuan was in the limelight. Many people surrounded Liu Chuan and asked him all sorts of questions. Their eyes revealed envy and a trace of unwillingness.

“Hello, are Liu Chuan and Wang Meng here?”

During the break between classes, Liu Chuan suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him. Liu Chuan turned his head in confusion and saw a man with thick eyebrows and deep eyes. Just by looking at his clothes, he looked like an ordinary peasant farmer. However, as he stood there, he exuded an extraordinary aura.

“Hello, I’m Liu Chuan. Wang Meng went to the toilet. What’s the matter?” Liu Chuan looked at the person and replied.

The man said, “Please follow me. The principal wants to see you.”

“Alright, I’ll go get Wang Meng now.” Liu Chuan was stunned for a moment before agreeing.

“Sorry for the trouble.”

Liu Chuan ran to the toilet and dragged Wang Meng out.

“Lazy people are full of shit. Hurry up, the principal is calling for us.” Liu Chuan covered his nose and said to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng was a little depressed. “Damn, who doesn’t go to the toilet? How would I know that the principal would look for us?”

“Hurry, hurry, stop nagging.”

…

…

Liu Chuan brought Wang Meng to the man’s side. Wang Meng was a little embarrassed as he greeted the man. The man laughed and explained that he wasn’t a teacher. He told the two to follow him and told them to call him Brother Wang.

Wang Meng rubbed his buzz cut and felt a little awkward. It turned out that this person wasn’t a teacher. It was no wonder he was so unfamiliar.

Liu Chuan and Wang Meng both wondered if it had something to do with the test this morning.

“We’re here, please come in. Principal Liu has been waiting for a long time,” said Brother Wang to the two of them as he pushed open the door of the principal’s office.

This was the first time Liu Chuan and Wang Meng had come to the principal’s office, and also the first time they had seen him. Thus, they couldn’t help but look around curiously.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the principal’s office. He had a bronze face, long beard, and a muscular body. He looked like the most ferocious tiger among all the ferocious tigers!

The middle-aged man swept his gaze over, and Liu Chuan immediately felt a powerful aura surge towards him. It was as if a ferocious tiger had pounced on him, and he immediately became a little dazed.

This middle-aged man had actually given the two a show of strength.

At this moment, a cool feeling flashed across Liu Chuan’s mind and he immediately came back to his senses.

When the middle-aged man saw that Liu Chuan woke up in an instant, he also revealed a slightly shocked expression and a hint of disbelief.

Although Wang Meng reacted a little later than Liu Chuan, he quickly regained his senses and the middle-aged man retracted his gaze.

“You guys are very good. Your physique and willpower are very good. Let’s get to know each other. I’m your principal, Liu Guoqiang,” said the middle-aged man as stood.

“Nice to meet you, Principal Liu.” Liu Chuan and Liu Qing also reacted and hurriedly replied to him.

At this moment, Brother Wang also walked in and said to them, “Principal Liu, let’s get straight to the point.”

Principal Liu glanced at Brother Wang and ignored him. Then, he looked at the two of them and continued, “Do you know what martial artists are?”

Liu Chuan and Wang Meng didn’t know how to reply before the principal started talking.

“What is a martial artist? As the name suggests, a martial artist trains in martial arts.”

“Martial artists can strengthen their bodies and open a school to teach martial arts. In the face of righteousness, we will serve our country and our people.”

“Martial artists cannot be complacent, but they have an indelible pride.”

“Martial artists should not be arrogant and domineering, but they will help when they see injustice.”

“Martial artists cannot bully the weak, but they must protect the weak from being bullied.”

“Martial artists need to nurture the righteousness of the heavens and earth. They need to be perfect in both the past and the present.”

“Even if there are ten thousand deaths, they will not regret it!”

“Are the two of you willing to become martial artists?”
