In the training field, the two quickly ended their fight. There was no need to determine a winner in such a simple exchange of pointers. Gan Zhi said dejectedly, "It's over. I still couldn't break through his defense. The assessment is in a few days, and I'll probably still be at the bottom."
The tall youth opposite him was called Shi Shuo, and he was a senior student. Shang Jing University had a ten-year education system, and nine was the limit. Therefore, it was divided into nine grades, and the nine grades were further divided into three sections. This grade system was flexible, which meant that if a student from the upper section was at the bottom, they would be replaced by a student from the middle section, and a student from the middle section could be replaced by a student from the lower section.
In short, every student could only stay in school for ten years at most. Of course, most students would not stay in school forever. Physical skills were a battle skill, and they had to be tempered by battle. Other than the annual trials organized by the school, students could also apply to go out and work in the Physical Skills Association, the military, or other organizations. External resources were also very important to the training of physical skills. If there was enough genetic medicine and herbs to help, the training speed would definitely be much faster than others.
The only graduation requirement for Shang Jing University was to become a physical master. If one could become a physical master within ten years, they could still stay in school, whether it was to focus on the study of physical skills or choose to be a teacher. If they could not become a physical master, they would be forced to leave.
However, even in Shang Jing University, where geniuses gathered, there was only one in ten thousand who could become a physical master. Talent, resources, and luck were indispensable. Shang Jing University maintained a number of tens of thousands of teachers and students throughout the year, and often no one could become a physical master for decades.
Shi Shuo was a student from the middle section, and Gan Zhi had just entered school last year, so he was a student from the lower section. Although they were both middle section physical warriors, there was a clear difference in their strength. Gan Zhi was far from being Shi Shuo's opponent.
Shi Shuo also said sadly, "We brothers are in the same boat. I think I'll be demoted to the lower section too."
"You're only demoted, but I'm going to be expelled!" Gan Zhi's eyes reddened. Sorrow rose from his heart, and even a grown man like him was about to cry.
A calm voice sounded, "Although your attack skills are sharp, you always lack a sense of sharpness. Go to a slaughterhouse outside and work as a butcher for a few months. You might improve."
Gan Zhi hurriedly wiped his cheeks. Only then did he see a youth with a head full of long hair standing at the edge of the field. He recognized him as the newcomer who had just entered the valley. His name seemed to be Luo Kai. Somehow, the other party's words seemed to have drilled into his heart, making him involuntarily want to do as he was told. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's too late. The assessment is in a few days."
Luo Kai frowned. There were no shortcuts in the path of body arts. Perhaps the only shortcut was a life and death struggle. This method was passive and not controlled by the person. There were no other shortcuts. After thinking for a while, he said softly, "If you have time at night, come and find me." After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Shuo was stunned. "Who is this kid?"
Luo Kai had been here for more than half a month, but he had not revealed himself. Even those who had seen him would inexplicably quickly forget the relevant memories, so Lu Shuo could not remember for a while.
Gan Zhi was in a daze for a while and replied, "I think he's called Luo Kai."
… …
Luo Kai circled around the valley and returned to the hut. He sat cross-legged at the door and slowly lowered his heartbeat. When his heartbeat rate dropped to a certain level, it would be easier for him to enter a state of emptiness, and it would also be easier for him to comprehend the way of all things in the world. During this period of time, he had been trying to comprehend the strong and mighty pulse of the earth. If the ocean was the source of life, then the earth was the pillar of life.
His future cultivation path had already been determined, and that was to first achieve resonance with the five elements. Most of the power of life was not in the bones and muscles, but hidden in the internal organs. Once the small cycle in the small universe in his body was completed, then the energy of the five elements would cycle back and forth in the internal organs, multiplying and multiplying endlessly. Even if he did not rely on external energy to fill his body, his combat strength would not be weaker than a body master, and might even be far above a normal body master.
"Luo Kai, why are you still sitting here? Let's go eat." The short and stout little fatty ran over, panting.
Luo Kai opened his eyes. It turned out that the sky was already dark. He retracted his frequency of consciousness, and his blood and Qi were slightly accelerated. His cold limbs regained their vitality. The little fatty was called Mao Hongyuan, and he was the kind of person who was born warm-hearted. When he saw Luo Kai living alone in the valley, he thought that Luo Kai was a little autistic, so he came to chat with him every day. He smiled and said, "Thank you, little fatty."
"What are you thanking me for? But you can't always forget to eat. If no one calls you, you will go hungry."
Luo Kai stood up and followed him to the cafeteria. Along the way, the little fatty was nagging about how lively Teacher You's public class was today. There was a line from the teaching block to the field outside, and it was almost a sea of people. Teacher You even personally sparred with a few high level body warriors …
The little fatty's bow-legged legs seemed to be unable to support his weight. After a while, he stopped, panting. He held his knees and said, "No … I can't. I need to rest."
The gravity here was almost twice as strong as outside, and it did affect him greatly. However, it should not be a problem for him to walk normally. Why was this little fatty's physique so weak?
"Little fatty, what physical skill do you mainly learn?"
The little fatty immediately said proudly, "Long-range sniping!"
"Oh."
Luo Kai thought of the sniper who tried to assassinate him earlier. His bullets were extremely powerful, and if he did not kill him, he would run away. His sniping methods were indeed unique. Against such an assassin who hid in the shadows, even a high level body warrior would not be able to do anything. It was just that mechanical methods were limited by technology, and there was not much room for improvement. He asked curiously, "What's so powerful about this long-range sniping?"
The little fatty looked at Luo Kai as if he was looking at an alien and said, "Of course it's powerful. Let's put it this way. Other than body warriors, there is no one I can't hit. As long as I have a certain distance, no matter how powerful a body warrior is, they will not be a match for me."
Luo Kai was very curious. "Then show me a shot."
A body warrior's physical strength was already strong enough to withstand bullets, and a high level body warrior would have a very strong sense of danger. Other than large-scale bombardment, mechanical weapons like guns and cannons would not be able to hurt a body warrior. However, the little fatty did not look like he was bragging.
"The school has a rule that guns and cannons can only be used in the shooting range. When I have time, I will take you to the shooting range to play, but I can show you how good I am with blank bullets."
The little fatty hesitated for a moment, then took out a gun with a very long barrel from his waist. He looked around, then aimed at a small tree and casually fired a few shots. The bullets were all concentrated in one place. The blank bullets should not have much power, but under the continuous impact, the small tree was penetrated.
This kind of shooting was definitely unparalleled in the past, but in this era, it was nothing. Luo Kai rarely touched a gun, but he could do it easily. He smiled and did not say anything.
The little fatty did not get praised, and his face was a little embarrassed. He said unconvinced, "This is a blank bullet, and I did not use a kinetic weapon. Come with me to the shooting range tomorrow, and I will use a kinetic weapon to show you."
"Kinetic weapon?"
The little fatty nodded heavily. "Yes, kinetic weapons have a much faster firing speed than ordinary guns, and their power is incomparable. They can also be a threat to body warriors."
