At the door of the martial arts training room, Zhang Lingfeng clenched his fists secretly as he looked at the information on the panel that had just appeared. He was originally a young man from Blue Star in the 996st century. With the practice of the blessing, he was young and promising. However, after getting drunk, he inexplicably traveled to the territory of Daxia, which belonged to the Seven Star Alliance.

The technology here is more advanced than in the past, and martial arts are prevalent. Unfortunately, survival resources are scarce, and humans are also facing the danger of alien invasion.

To this end, humans formed an alliance of seven galaxies, jointly formulated seven basic methods of cultivation, and made them public to major colleges. Through the colleges, talents were trained to promote martial arts.

The college that Zhang Lingfeng attends is South City No. 9 High School.

According to the human survival code of the seven galaxies, if a male is over the age of eighteen and cannot become an entry-level warrior, he must serve on the front line for two years and go through the baptism of the battlefield to become a true warrior.

Most will die on the front lines.

Only those who survive are qualified to share survival resources.

The original owner knew very well that the alien race was powerful, so he practiced hard, wanting to become an advanced warrior as soon as possible, so as to avenge his parents who died at the hands of the aliens in the future.

Unfortunately, he came from an ordinary family and lacked nutrient supplements, so he died due to excessive training, which gave Zhang Lingfeng the opportunity to travel through time.

Now the original owner is about to turn eighteen years old and will soon have his entry-level assessment.

According to the requirements, a combat power value of 10.0 is considered an entry-level warrior.

Currently, Zhang Lingfeng's combat power value is only 8.00009. There are only two paths before him. Either he becomes an entry-level warrior and continues to stay in South City, enjoying the survival resources and growing stronger step by step.

Either go to the front line and become cannon fodder.

Obviously, Zhang Lingfeng’s idea is the same as the original owner’s, and neither of them wants to become cannon fodder.

He was determined to inherit the original owner's last wish, work hard to become an entry-level warrior, eliminate the alien races, seize survival resources, and avenge the original owner's parents.

Unexpectedly, when he was trying hard to practice, he suddenly awakened to his fate of lying down.

In this life, he does not need to fight and work hard. He only needs to practice lying down to the end to achieve victory. The lying down value obtained can be used to improve the value of techniques and skills, thereby increasing the combat power value.

This means that in this era of material scarcity, harsh living environment, and everyone wanting to become a warrior and desperately scrambling for survival resources, Zhang Lingfeng can live in peace and go with the flow.

He stood at the door of the martial arts training room, watching the time on his bracelet scroll by, and only stepped into the training room when the class was about to start.

Not arriving early nor leaving late for class is the theoretical knowledge that Zhang Lingfeng summed up through the changes in the lying value.

The so-called lying down does not mean giving up everything and lying in bed all day long, like a useless person with nothing to lose. It means not to be introverted, not to struggle, not to be anxious, not to complain, and to look at everything calmly.

Because he arrived at the right time, the practice room was already full of people and the better seats were occupied by his classmates, so Zhang Lingfeng could only sit in the back corner.

"call!"

Today's practice course is breathing method.

Most of the students are already breathing in and out, trying to awaken the Qi in their bodies through breathing techniques.

Zhang Lingfeng had just sat down for a while when the class teacher Yang Liru came to the practice room. She explained to everyone, "Breathing is a crucial lesson on the road to practice. Warriors refine their essence and transform it into qi through breathing. Only by mastering this skill can the flesh and blood and bones be evolved, and the combat power value will be significantly improved."

"Let's first look at how to awaken the Qi from the body through tidal breathing. You will follow the steps above and breathe with me."

Everyone perked up and took out their notebooks to take notes.

The sound of writing could be heard throughout the classroom.

Zhang Lingfeng was also writing quickly on the notebook, nodding from time to time, as if thinking about what Yang Liru said.

Half an hour later, Yang Liru began to guide everyone to try to awaken the Qi from the body through the tidal breathing method.

She said, "Last year, the admission criteria for Shenwu University were a combat power of 15.0 and six points of aura awakening. If you want to leave South City and obtain more survival resources and security, getting into Shenwu University is your shortcut."

South City had been invaded by alien races, its infrastructure was severely damaged, the population was dense, supplies were scarce, and large alien monsters often sneaked into the city and slaughtered civilians.

Many people regard this place as a living hell and try every means to leave it.

Unfortunately, according to the principles of the human survival plan, only those with extraordinary talents and who can contribute to humanity are eligible to enjoy better treatment and live in safer cities with more survival supplies.

Those who cannot contribute to human survival but want to share human survival resources mostly live in cities like Nancheng, which have weak defenses and may face large-scale invasions by alien races at any time.

So cities like Nancheng are called outer ring cities in the seven galaxies.
It is the wish of every outer city dweller to get away from the outer cities, move to the inner cities to live, and become a superior person.

Shenwu University is located in the inner ring city. It is said that not only can advanced skills be practiced there, but every student can also enjoy a bottle of nutrient solution every day.

After less than a year of practice, the combat power value can reach 20.0, becoming a Yuanwu warrior and enjoying various survival benefits of the inner ring city.

Zhang Lingfeng is also full of vision for the inner ring cities.

The original owner and he had a common goal of reaching a combat power value of 15.0, awakening the six senses of energy, and successfully entering Shenwu University. Of course, the most important thing now was to increase the combat power value to 10.0 before the age of to avoid becoming cannon fodder on the front line.

"call!"

Under the guidance of Yang Liru, everyone breathed in and out together, following the rhythm of tidal breathing, trying to awaken the Qi in their bodies.

"The first three months of practicing breathing techniques is the easiest time to awaken the Qi. Everyone must remember that once there is a heat flow in the abdominal cavity, even if it is just a trace, you must catch it and never lose the opportunity to awaken it because of laxity."

Yang Liru reminded.

Everyone obeyed her orders and did not dare to relax at all.

Sudden.

A classmate in the corner stopped breathing, opened the thermos, slowly took a big sip of water, and then continued breathing with everyone else.

Yang Liru frowned slightly.

Since Zhang Lingfeng fell into a coma due to excessive practice more than a month ago, he seemed like a different person when he woke up. His attitude towards practice was sloppy and he came to class on time every day.

In such an important practice as breathing, all the students wanted to hold on to the end and awaken the Qi from their bodies as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Lingfeng had to stop to drink water every ten minutes or so.

He also likes to read health-preserving materials during self-study classes. Yang Liru has talked to him privately several times, hoping that he can face the reality, try his best to become an entry-level warrior, and avoid dying on the front line.

Unfortunately, Zhang Lingfeng changed his usual behavior. Not only did he not listen, but his practice became more and more casual, as if he was determined to go to the front line as cannon fodder.

Thinking back to how Zhang Lingfeng, like other students, was writing furiously about the key points of cultivation that she had talked about, Yang Liru couldn't help but come to Zhang Lingfeng's side.

Pick up Zhang Lingfeng's notebook and look through it.

What she saw instead was a whole page of mmmmmmm!
Several black lines appeared on Yang Liru's forehead.

In this era of material scarcity and harsh living environment, Zhang Lingfeng's attitude is destined to make him a cannon fodder and he is not worthy of sharing survival resources.

Yang Liru threw the notebook down, as if she didn't see Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng opened his eyes slightly. He couldn't explain to Yang Liru that he had the fate of lying down. Lying down to the end and changing his destiny through the lying down value was his only way out now.

When the time reached 6:00:00 in the afternoon.

Yang Liru said: "If you can persist, continue to practice, try a few more times, and see if you can awaken the Qi today. If you really can't persist, go back first."

Yang Liru knew that many of her classmates were about to turn eighteen. If they could not awaken their Qi, increase their combat power, and become entry-level warriors, they would only be cannon fodder on the front line like Zhang Lingfeng. Only a few of them would survive and continue to enjoy the survival resources.

As their class teacher, Yang Liru did not want her students to become cannon fodder, so she took good care of them in their cultivation.

Everyone also knew Yang Liru's intention, and was even more aware of the difference between having Yang Liru's full guidance and practicing alone.

So no one was willing to give up this rare opportunity to practice.

But Zhang Lingfeng stood up and left in full view of everyone, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Yang Liru was extremely disappointed with him and was too lazy to ask Zhang Lingfeng to come back.

Zhang Lingfeng not only came to class on time, but also left as soon as the school was over. He never dragged his feet and treated cultivation as a joke.

Even if such people do not die on the front line, their survival will only be a waste of survival resources.

Yang Liru felt both heartbroken and helpless.

Walk out of the training room.

A line of words appeared in front of Zhang Lingfeng's eyes.

"You continue to practice breathing techniques in class for a month, neither arriving early nor leaving late, neither involuntarily nor struggling, and you will gain the ability to breathe in and out around the clock."

"Wow, it turns out that if you keep doing the same thing, you can gain unexpected abilities."

Zhang Lingfeng looked surprised.

He originally thought that lying down could only gain lying down value, but he didn't expect that he could also gain abilities.

All-weather breathing capability.

Wouldn't that mean that the body can maintain a breathing state at all times, constantly refining essence into qi, enhancing physical fitness, and allowing the flesh, blood, and bones to evolve?
Zhang Lingfeng looked excited.

This ability is tailor-made for him, so what qualifications does he have to not lie down?

　Feilong’s new book, I hope you will support it!
