In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 6, The Cat People's Decision

Back in the classroom, Lin Ran continued to listen attentively until school ended.

[Exceptional Theory, Experience +233 +244 +212]

[Transcendent Theory LV2→LV3: 218/1500]

Chen Fei, on the other hand, struck up a conversation with several female cat-people while Lin Ran was away, only to be seduced and then decisively abandoned Lin Ran, going out to eat with several male and female cat-people.

Lin Ran looked at Chen Fei with pity.

The poor child has no idea that he has become Tom the cat, easily manipulated by others.

……

Training ground.

Lin Ran looked around; he was still the first one there.

2:30.

[Health Preservation, Experience +48]

Hearing the bell, Lin Ran snapped out of her daze and turned her head to see the class line ten meters away.

Chang Fei actually managed to bring the team to his vicinity!

"Lin Ran, come and lead the team."

"Okay, Teacher Chang."

Lin Ran lost her own position but gained the position of team leader.

Chang Fei said in a deep voice,

"Before class, let's go through the exercises I taught you yesterday."

"Ready to begin, first move..."

Chang Fei took two steps back, leading the team to observe Lin Ran, nodding frequently.

This child is talented.

Thirty minutes later, a formal practice session ended, and apart from Lin Ran, no one could follow along completely and perfectly.

This is a characteristic of rituals.

If someone can practice it skillfully once, it means that their spiritual compatibility has reached the minimum standard for receiving spiritual energy from all heavens, and they can apply to undergo the awakening ceremony.

These students are roughly equivalent to students in the honors class during high school.

Lin Ran finished her stance and exhaled. With Chang Fei guiding her, she gained more experience than she had when she practiced on her own!

[Ascension Ritual, Experience +15]

Chang Fei was very satisfied with this and patted Lin Ran on the shoulder.

"You've mastered it very well. I couldn't do that at your age."

"It's all thanks to Teacher Chang's excellent teaching," Lin Ran said with a smile.

Chang Fei waved his hand.

"No need to be modest. The fact that you mastered it so quickly shows that you have great talent. There's less than a month left before the awakening ceremony for seniors. If you can meet the requirements, I can arrange for you to participate as well."

"Thank you, teacher. I will definitely work hard!"

Lin Ran's eyes lit up, as if he could see a mysterious, extraordinary world beckoning to him.

Chang Fei nodded and said.

"Okay, but simply practicing isn't enough. I'll guide you step by step. You'll help me and correct others, and I'll learn from that process myself. If there's anything you're unsure about, just come and ask me."

"good!"

Lin Ran was even more excited, believing that Chang Fei's method would allow him to gain more experience.

Chang Fei selected a few people.

"Those I just called out, practice with Lin Ran first. If Lin Ran can't solve something, then come and ask me. The rest of you, practice with me."

Thus, Lin Ran became the first person in the entire first-year training field to lead a team alone.

"Brother Lin! You're serious!"

Chen Fei was also on the list, staring at Lin Ran in shock.

Lin Ran looked up and laughed.

"Otherwise, how can I be your Brother Lin? Come here and stand properly. Learn first before you think about anything else."

Besides Chen Fei, there's Yun Zhu, Gao Ming (a male cat-man with golden eyes and a black tail, 1.8 meters tall), and class monitor Li Xinglin.

Let's begin.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Ran paused.

[Ascension Ritual, Experience +26]

His eyes lit up; twenty minutes of instruction was equivalent to the gains of two and a half hours!

6:30.

"These are the important points for the ninth movement. You have half an hour left to practice freely."

Chang Fei said loudly.

Lin Ran also stopped.

"Okay, let's follow Teacher Chang's pace. I can only solve these problems for now. For more details, you'll have to ask Teacher Chang."

After saying that, he walked to the side.

[Ascension Ritual, Experience +226]

[Ascension Ritual LV1: 333/500]

……

Cat-People Embassy, ​​Meeting Room.

"Today's summary, who would like to speak up?"

Yunzhu and Gaoming raised their hands at the same time.

The male cat-man said awkwardly, gesturing to Yunzhu.

"This student... please be quicker, tell me."

Yunzhu said.

"I'm in Class 8 of the first year of high school at No. 3 Middle School. My deskmate is named Lin Ran, a young man of the human race. He was recognized by the instructor and led the team on his own to complete the initial guidance. Gao Ming and I received the same guidance, which confirms that Lin Ran's abilities far exceed those of ordinary people."

Gao Ming stood up and said,

"I can testify for Yunzhu, and there are eight classmates in the class who can all testify."

Then several cat-people stood up and said that Gao Ming's words were accurate.

On the platform, the male and female cat-people discussed for a moment and then announced:

"Lin Ran is now officially added to the list of students to be closely monitored. Yun Zhu and Gao Ming, try to spend as much time as possible with your classmates."

"Yes."

……

7:30, apartment.

Lin Ran ran back.

[Fitness training, experience +56]

Big Orange sat at the door, waiting anxiously.

Meow~

Humans! I, the King, want to eat meat!

Lin Ran moved the large orange cat that was rubbing against her trouser leg away, and felt that it seemed to have gotten a little heavier.

Dinner consisted of four dishes and a soup, served in a large bowl.

[Cooking Skills, Experience +86]

[Cooking Skill LV1: 160/500]

"Meow meow meow..."

Big Orange Crazy Meat Spin

Damn humans! Why does it taste so good?! This king... I cannot be defeated!

After the meal, at 8:20, the health-preserving exercises and the spiritual ascension ceremony were arranged.

The big orange tree curled up in a ball, fast asleep.

12:20.

[Health Preservation, Experience +42]

[Health Preservation LV1: 492/500]

[Ascension Ritual, Experience +49]

[Ascension Ritual LV1: 382/500]

I closed my eyes, then opened them. It was 5:25.

As usual, we practiced. Before setting off, we prepared three cold steamed buns for our orange cat, because it hadn't finished the hot ones yesterday and had made crumbs everywhere.

Daju stared at the cold steamed buns, lost in thought.

Foolish humans! I will remember this grudge!

……

At 7:50, Lin Ran arrived at the classroom on time, and everyone's experience had improved.

There were two breakfasts on the desk.

Yunzhu twitched her ears.

"Lin Ran, thank you for teaching me yesterday. This is the breakfast I brought for you, and this is from Gao Ming. He went to get water."

"it is good."

Lin Ran didn't stand on ceremony, quickly finished both breakfasts, and then continued reading.

7:59

As the homeroom teacher, Gao Jun, entered the classroom, Chen Fei rushed in through the back door at the last minute. He couldn't stop in time when he sat down and leaned his upper body against his deskmate.

The adorable male cat-man blushed slightly and pushed Chen Fei away.

Lin Ran noticed and couldn't help but laugh, thankfully without making a sound.

So Chen Fei behaved himself for the entire morning.

After school, Lin Ran ate alone and then went to the training ground to practice.

I practiced the health-preserving exercise once.

[Health Preservation, Experience +10]

[Health Preservation LV2: 2/500]

The muscles felt slightly numb, which lasted for about ten minutes before returning to normal; the reaction was minimal.

After class, Lin Ran practiced the Spirit Ascension Ritual. With Chang Fei's guidance, her experience points increased rapidly.

Not long after,

[Ascension Ritual LV1→LV2: 1/1000]

Eighty-one movements of the Ascension Ritual appeared in my mind, and then these movements were covered by light. After the light dissipated, the number of movements changed from eighty-one to seventy-two.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, then went to ask Chang Fei.

"Teacher Chang, are the 81 movements of the radio calisthenics fixed?"
