Human Shackles - Chapter61

Genes would constantly change due to changes in the external environment. If one day the world was no longer suitable for carbon-based life, then the genes would completely change their structure and evolve towards a higher level of metallic life. Today, except for the brain and the main organs of the Titans, one of the branches of the human race, the other parts were no longer made of carbon-based, but of rocks!

The only thing that was not shackled by genes was consciousness. In other words, it was the emergence of free will that broke the shackles of genes. It was also because of this that humans were able to stand out among hundreds of millions of lives. Compared to genes, consciousness was more mysterious and illusory. Because it had no physical body, there was no way to observe and study it. Only humans who had stepped into the God Refinement realm could understand it.

There were rumors that the mysterious Abyss race was also abandoning carbon-based structure and evolving towards a mysterious life form that only retained consciousness.

…

Just as Luo Kai was engrossed in his research, the second senior brother came over and said hurriedly, "Junior brother, master is calling for you."

"What's the matter?" Luo Kai raised his head in confusion.

"Sigh, something big has happened. The rules of next year's fighting competition are likely to change. It will not be limited to the sports schools of the prefectures, but will be expanded to various industries. The key is that the military is likely to send people to participate in the competition!"

Luo Kai put down the thread-bound book in his hand and said with a smile, "So what?"

Ross stepped forward and grabbed his hand and pulled him out. "Junior brother, you may not know how powerful the military's physique warriors are. Those people are not human, especially those who can survive the Eternal Tie battlefield. They kill people like flies and their ferocity is monstrous. Even master may not be able to get a spot in the competition."

Along the way, Ross told him how powerful the military's physique warriors were. The military had a special department called the Combatant Division, which specialized in assassinating enemy generals, gathering intelligence, and training the military's physique warriors. In the early years when the South Sea pirates were wreaking havoc, the Combatant Division personally killed all the pirate leaders. Even the commander of the Dragon Shark pirates, River-flipping Dragon, was almost assassinated by the Combatant Division.

Liu Hou looked at the newspaper in his hand, his fat face trembling slightly. He was obviously very angry. He was also a member of the Association for Physical Arts, but this time, the Association for Physical Arts suddenly changed the rules without informing him at all.

The Association for Physical Arts had changed the rules of the competition on the front page of the newspaper. It was not hard to imagine that people would flock to the competition. He did not care about the participation of the civilian athletes, but the participation of the military meant that the sports school students, who had never even killed animals before, had no hope.

"Teacher." Luo Kai came in and bowed respectfully to him.

"Mmm, things have become troublesome this time. Originally, with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult for you to obtain a spot. But now, it's hard to say."

Luo Kai did not care much. Recently, he had been gradually trying to combine the Soft Forging Body Technique and the Mighty Dragon Fist. He thought that his progress was fast. Once he had some small success, his strength would once again undergo an earth-shattering change.

Liu Hou thought for a while and said, "You're young, but your strength is not weaker than a physical warrior. But in this world, there are countless physical skill geniuses. You must guard against arrogance and rashness. I want you to be a student in the school's advanced class. Listen well after class and understand the difference between the new and old physical skills."

Luo Kai paused. He had never heard of the old and new physical skills. "What are the old and new physical skills?"

Liu Hou patiently said, "In the early years, physical skill practitioners emphasized more on ascetic practice. In recent years, they have emphasized the combination of work and rest. Everyone has their own strengths. Ascetic practitioners are extremely tough, both physically and mentally. But years of ascetic practice will overdraft their vitality, and may leave some hidden injuries. When they are old and weak, they will suffer unspeakable pain. The new physical skills do not have this problem. Instead, they will prolong their life. But their fighting strength is not as good as that of ascetic practitioners."

Isn't this the difference between keeping fit and fighting? Luo Kai curled his lips. It seemed that the old pedants of the sports school had forgotten the cruelty of the outside world and had turned to pondering the ways of keeping fit. He thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He also wanted to see how it was taught. At the same time, he also wanted to relive the feeling of being a student.

Luo Kai followed the second senior brother to the high school campus and stopped in front of a classroom marked High Section Class Three. The bishop of the High Section Class Three was a beautiful woman in her thirties. Her name was Chang Lu. Although she was not a physical warrior, she was a senior researcher in the Association for Physical Arts. She had traveled around many countries and had a wide range of knowledge. She mainly talked about the history of physical skills development and military geography.

Chang Lu glanced at Luo Kai and pulled the second senior brother aside to talk. Although her voice was low, Luo Kai heard it clearly.

"Whose young master is he?

How can there be a high level student who joins classes? "Chang Lu's voice was full of complaints. Obviously, she did not like Luo Kai very much.

Ross smiled and pointed to the classroom. "He is my teacher's disciple. You have to teach him well."

Chang Lu was a little surprised. "Is he Principal Liu's new disciple?"

"Yes, my junior brother has never been to school, so he came to listen to the class."

Chang Lu rolled her eyes. Physical skills had to be practiced from a young age. The older one was, the worse the molding ability and growth ability. A person who had never been to school was very strong. She did not know what kind of luck this kid had to be able to become the disciple of Liu Hou. She walked over to Luo Kai and said, "Student Luo Kai, although you are Principal Liu's disciple, in my High Section Class Three, you must have the strength to show. My class has an elimination system. The last one will be assigned to other classes. I hope you are mentally prepared."

Luo Kai felt a little funny. Seeing the second senior brother winking at him, he replied seriously, "Yes, I will work hard!"

"Come in with me." Chang Lu walked into the classroom first.

The second senior brother quietly pulled Luo Kai's sleeve and whispered in his ear. "Teacher Chang is the most serious teacher in the school. She is knowledgeable and doesn't rub sand in her eyes. High Section Class Three is also the best class in the school. Junior brother, don't lose face for the teacher. Naturally, no one can beat you in a fight, but literature, history and other comprehensive subjects are also very important."

Luo Kai nodded and walked into the classroom. The classroom immediately quieted down. Pairs of curious eyes stared at him. One must know that there had never been a transfer student in the High Section Class. They were all curious about the origin of this new student.

"Student Luo Kai, let me introduce myself."

Luo Kai walked to the podium and was about to speak. But looking at the boys and girls below, he could not help but feel a sense of alienation. He was in a trance for a moment.

"En, this is student Luo Kai. Everyone, please take care of him in the future." Chang Lu cleared her throat and arranged for Luo Kai to sit in the last seat. Then, she began the class.

Chang Lu mainly talked about the history of the development of physical skills. Today, she talked about the structure of physical skills in the Nine Nations. Higashimogami Province, the birthplace of physical skills, people there regarded physical skills as martial arts. The reason why it was called martial arts was mainly to use martial arts to stop war.

Luo Kai didn't have much interest in these theories, so he just looked around. This classroom was similar to the classrooms in his previous life. The only difference was that there was a weapon rack at the back of the classroom, filled with short knives.

The student on his left was a little fatty. He wore a shiny leather jacket. His back was straight and he seemed to be listening to the class attentively. In fact, his eyes were closed and he was taking a nap.

The student on his right was a rather handsome boy. He was holding a pen and writing on the desk.

Luo Kai turned his gaze to the front row. The one sitting in front of him was a girl with a slender waist. Although he could not see her face, with his two lives of experience, he could determine that she was a little beauty.

In this kind of environment, Luo Kai felt as if he had become younger. Although he did not look old.

The bell rang. Before Chang Lu left, she gave Luo Kai a fierce glare. Obviously, she had seen how Luo Kai was not paying attention in class.
