Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

The old man fled in panic.

At the dinner table, Zhang Huolong laughed heartily: "Wife, we're only 24 years old. Chaoqiang is old enough to be his great-grandson, yet he still wants to be his son..."

……

September 1st marked the official start of the new school year for Yuhua Primary School.

The students will be assigned to classes on the same day, and the results will be posted on the bulletin board on the playground.

It's back-to-school season again. The entire Yuhua Primary School, with all six grades combined, has no more than 5000 students. Each class has a maximum of 4-50 students, and there are ten classes per grade.

After investigation, it was found that classes 1 and 2 are generally considered the elite classes with stronger teaching staff, and they are used as the pre-selection classes for martial arts schools. The other eight classes are of similar overall level.

"Zhang Chaoqiang!"

As Zhang Chaoqiang and his parents finally managed to squeeze into the crowd surrounding the bulletin board, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Chapter 13 Skills Lessons and Reflection Lessons

Zhang Chaoqiang was somewhat delighted to find that Tan Yue was actually attending Yuhua Primary School, thinking he would never have the chance to see her again.

After all, Tan Yue could truly be considered his friend.

Zhang Chaoqiang and his parents turned around. The driver, Old Chen, had a full head of white hair and a flowing beard, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

Dressed in a black suit, he held Tan Yue's small hand and walked towards Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Old Chen! Tan Yue!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Back in kindergarten, Zhang Chaoqiang and his parents had become quite familiar with the driver, Lao Chen.

Old Chen had a kind smile on his face, just like a sullen old man who was always smiling.

He waved and said, "Super Mom and Dad, no need to look anymore, come with me!"

Adults walk together, children walk together, adults talk to each other, and children talk to each other.

Shen Qiangwei asked Lao Chen, "My Chaoqiang thought Tan Yue wouldn't come here to study."

Old Chen laughed and said, "When it was time for Xiaoyue to enter junior high school, I brought her here to try it out. After all, Yuhua Elementary School is an affiliated elementary school of the martial arts school. Originally, we did not plan to study martial arts here, but she passed the exam later."

Furthermore, tests showed that Xiaoyue also had a good affinity with spiritual energy, and when asked about her wishes, she expressed her willingness to study here, so…”

The parents exchanged smiles: "I wonder if the two kids will have a chance to be in the same class?"

"Super Dad, you were right, they're both in Class 1!"

"Class 1?"

"That Class 1 of the martial arts pre-selection class?"

Old Chen nodded with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation as he looked at Zhang Chaoqiang: "The two children can play together again from now on. Chaoqiang, could you promise Grandpa Chen that you would help take care of Tan Yue at school?"

Back in kindergarten, Lao Chen knew that Zhang Chaoqiang would help Tan Yue, who was occasionally bullied at school, and that the two had a pretty good friendship. Zhang Chaoqiang was probably Tan Yue's only friend.

"it is good."

In high spirits, Zhang Chaoqiang's parents, ignoring Tan Yue's parents, continued chatting and laughing with Lao Chen, while Tan Yue pulled Zhang Chaoqiang ahead.

"Stop running, I'm tired."

"When you were in kindergarten, you were running on the track all day long, and we couldn't stop calling you."

"That's because we need to complete growth tasks."

What are developmental tasks?

"The task of growth."

What are the tasks of growth?

"I did tasks that helped me grow."

The two remained silent.

Following the signs, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue enrolled in the school.

They were both assigned to Class 1, and coincidentally, they were even assigned to be deskmates.

The school has dormitories, and students can freely apply for accommodation or commute.

Zhang Chaoqiang was worried that it would take too much time and energy for Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong to get to the school, as it was too far away.

My home is about 7-8 kilometers away from Yuhua Primary School.

Zhang Chaoqiang wanted to apply for accommodation, but Lao Chen claimed that he would take Tan Yue home and also stop by Zhang Chaoqiang's house on the way, so he could just take his car back in the future.

This way, my parents won't have to work too hard.

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Zhang Chaoqiang finally agreed.

For the next month, the mischievous classmates saw that the two always got on the same bus, and they jokingly called them a young couple.

In the end, Zhang Chaoqiang dealt with all those students, and they never spoke out of turn again.

In the second month after the start of the school year, in addition to the regular courses in Chinese, mathematics, English, physical education, science, art, music, etc., which cultivate moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor skills, Yuhua Primary School finally launched its signature skills courses and spiritual enlightenment courses.

The skills courses consist of relatively simple martial arts skills training.

The scoring for martial arts is very strict, taking into account agility, strength, and the standard of skill movements in various parts of the body.

The skills teacher, surnamed Guan, was dressed in martial arts attire. With light steps, Teacher Guan explored and observed the appearance, physique, and physical coordination of the new students in Class 1.

After clearing his throat, he began his first class in Class 1.

“Patting, knocking, elbowing, slicing, chopping, splitting... these are hand movements.”

"Kicking, stomping, whipping, pressing... these are leg movements."

"The so-called martial arts techniques are a collection of these broken-down movements. The body movements used in each set of martial arts techniques are nothing more than the ones I just listed for you."

If you want to learn martial arts in the future, you must break down the body's skills into movements, master each one, and reach a state of proficiency.

"Next, all team members, listen to my command and follow my instructions!"

In just the first lesson of the skills course, the little ones witnessed firsthand how formidable this strict teacher, Mr. Guan, was.

The 40-minute lesson exhausted all the usually lively, mischievous, and energetic kids, leaving them completely exhausted.

Only Zhang Chaoqiang and a few other robust classmates were in relatively good condition.

Tan Yue could still bear it.

When get out of class ended, Teacher Guan paid special attention to Zhang Chaoqiang. Through observation during class, she realized that this child was indeed worthy of attention, as the high-intensity skill training did not make him feel any pressure.

The next day, Friday, is the weekly Reiki Insights class in the afternoon.

As the name suggests, it is used to train students' affinity for spiritual energy and their sensitivity to spiritual energy, in order to enhance their internal spiritual energy that has not yet been fully activated.

The Reflection Room is located in the same building where we took the assessment before, called the Bo Xue Building.

To Zhang Chaoqiang's surprise, the room was located on the second basement level. When the more than 40 primary school students stepped into the room, they were filled with curiosity.

The 500-square-meter meditation room has matte black walls with a layer of uneven, wavy black ceramic on the surface, used to prevent spiritual energy from leaking out.

The ceiling around the room was decorated with a number of honeycomb-shaped devices called honeycomb spirit controllers. They all shared a single terminal, which could be used to generate spiritual energy fluctuations.

The female teacher of the comprehension class wore glasses and was named Cheng Wen. She was usually calm and honest. Even though it was the first time the students in Class 1 had her class, they knew that she was nicknamed "Calm Teacher" (meaning "Honest").

After clapping her hands to quiet the children, Cheng Wen said, "For the first lesson, we'll learn some basic theoretical knowledge, and then we'll test your internal spiritual power."

Under the curious gazes of her students, she began her lecture: "Spiritual energy pervades the world. You can think of it as a part of the air, a universally existing substance. Spiritual power, on the other hand, comes from spiritual energy and is a medium for transmitting energy."

"Question: If a wisp of spiritual energy and a burst of spiritual power were to approach you, which one would be more likely to injure you?"

"A composed teacher, yet insightful!" someone answered quickly.

"No, it's spiritual power. Just like I said, spiritual power is a kind of energy, and energy can cause impacts, fluctuations, changes, and so on..."

Seeing that her classmates were confused, Cheng Wen immediately changed the subject.

"Do you want to become martial artists?"

In unison: "Yes!"

"If you want to become a martial artist, first you need to understand why a martial artist can become a martial artist, and the principles of martial arts training..."

Chapter 14 Testing Inner Spiritual Power

In the first lesson, Cheng Wen patiently explained to the students:

"Between heaven and earth, there exists a special substance called spiritual energy, which initially does not react to anything."

But as time went by, the spiritual energy gradually seeped into some of the flowers, plants, and trees, and those plants, infused with the spiritual energy, grew even stronger and more beautiful…

"Later on, spiritual energy was absorbed by some clever animals by accident, and they were able to store it in their bodies and transform it into their own power. Thus, the demon beasts came into being."

Humans have existed on Earth for only about five thousand years. Over this long period, we humans have learned to utilize spiritual energy.

By absorbing spiritual energy into the body and then transforming it into one's own power, which is spiritual power, the birth of spiritual power signifies that humanity has evolved into a new kind of human.

What are these new humans called? Can any clever kids answer that for me?

"I know, Mr. Chenwen, is a martial artist!"

Fearing that the students wouldn't understand, Cheng Wen deliberately simplified the explanation. In reality, some of the details were extremely complicated and there was no need to bring them up now.

She adjusted her glasses, nodded, and smiled earnestly: "That's right, that's the origin of martial artists."

"So what is the biggest difference between martial artists and ordinary people?"

Everyone shouted, "They possess spiritual power!"

Cheng Wen's eyes lit up as she realized the students had fallen into her trap. She then shook her head and laughed, "Wrong!"

"what?"

"Students, you've probably heard of battle armor, right? Battle armor is made with cutting-edge technology, and the medium that keeps it running and releases energy is spiritual power. Wearing it, even ordinary people can be said to have spiritual power."

Some special spiritual tools can even grant ordinary people temporary spiritual power, but neither of these constitutes the identity of a martial artist.

"A martial artist is someone who can guide the natural spiritual energy that exists in the world into their body, store it, refine it, and integrate it into their body's power, which they can then freely use."
