High Martial Arts 2077: I Rely on Beast Taming to Cultivate While Lying Down

Su Chen's mind raced, and he quickly added, "In this small competition, there were twenty-five people in total. Everyone else scored over six hundred points, so the average score is probably over six hundred and forty!"

"The competition schedule is too tight. I was only added to the competition at the last minute, how could I possibly cause any more trouble?"

The other side paused for a moment.

Then his tone changed noticeably, from a accusatory tone to one of concern.

"Son, are you feeling too much pressure?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Su Chen quickly said, "I'm in a great mood. Besides, I'm not always at the bottom!"

"Hmm...that's good." The mother's voice softened. "Practicing with these people is stressful, but it also helps you improve quickly. Just make sure you find the right balance and don't push yourself too hard."

Su Chen understands parents quite well.

Whether it's the peaceful era before the apocalypse or the martial arts era after the apocalypse.

During my school years, as long as I hung out with the top students, even if we went to internet cafes together, my parents wouldn't be able to find fault with me!

"By the way, Mom, what was it about when you called this afternoon?"

"You're aware of the new regulations for the college entrance examination, right?"

"Yes, of course! We even had a class meeting this afternoon specifically to discuss this."

On the other end of the phone, the mother's voice clearly carried a hint of laughter: "Your father and I initially thought that all your friends are very capable. If we were to take on any training missions together later, having Xiao Zi would be even more helpful."

"I didn't expect to catch such a good time!"

"You'd better take good care of Xiao Zi!"

"I talked to your dad about this when he came home tonight. We'll prepare a special training program and nutritious meals for Xiao Zi. You don't need to worry about these things; just focus on your studies!"

Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart as he listened to these words.

He doesn't think this is about finding outside help or squandering the family's resources.

Education is essentially a family matter.

What parents can give you is never a crutch to help you walk, but a foundation to help you stand more firmly.

In the past, he was always afraid of letting his parents down.

But now... Su Chen looked down at his outstretched palm, then at Xiao Zi, who was squatting at his feet, rubbing her head against his leg.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

He has enough confidence!

"By the way, Mom, how's the turkey being taken care of?"

The mother seemed to just remember, her tone tinged with annoyance: "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot! The Firefeather Chicken is being taken very well. Your recipe is truly amazing! In just four days, the eggs laid by the Firefeather Chicken are noticeably larger than before. The number of reddish eggs has also increased by forty or fifty percent."

Her voice was lowered, with a hint of smugness like a thief: "Your dad also saw these turkey eggs, but I secretly put these special eggs inside the eggs laid by normal turkeys. He found it strange, but he hasn't noticed yet."

Listening to her mother's tone of voice, Su Chen could almost imagine the expression on her face when she said those words.

Her eyes were curved at the corners, her lips were pursed in a smile, and her eyes sparkled with the mischievousness of a young girl.

He couldn't help but think to himself: Damn, these two must be flirting!

"Son," the mother's voice returned to normal, "why don't you just tell your father about this formula? I feel it's hard to keep it a secret. Besides, it's already showing results. Your father understands its value better than I do."

Su Chen thought for a moment: "I'll talk to my dad when I get home on Sunday afternoon. It'll be more effective then, and it'll be easier to discuss it in person."

"Okay!" the mother said. "Your dad's calling me. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now?"

"Wait! Mom, there's something important."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Su Chen carefully considered his words: "It's like this... I can't go into the specifics. Simply put, there's a great deal I can snag, it costs 2.5 million, and I've already negotiated it."

"Two and a half million?" The mother's voice rose noticeably by half an octave. "What treasure?"

This is no small sum of money!

"It's not convenient to say over the phone," Su Chen paused, "but Mom, you should be able to guess."

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.

Then came the mother's hushed voice, but with certainty: "Fruit?"

"Ugh~"

"From ancient times?"

"Hmm~!" Su Chen smiled. "It's just a preliminary agreement. We'll discuss the details during the holiday."

"Okay! We'll talk when you get back." The mother paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it reliable?"

"Mom, someone you know."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the mother's soft laughter.

"good!"

The phone hangs up.

Su Chen let out a long breath, stretched, and his joints cracked a series of sounds.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Little Purple, who was squatting at his feet, immediately came closer, wagging its tail rapidly and nuzzling its head into his hand.

Su Chen patted its head, his tone serious: "You'll be taking the weekly test this week! Do your best! Otherwise, your food will be halved from now on."

"Awoo~ Awoo~!"

Little Purple looked up and barked twice, its voice full of energy, as if it were saying, "Leave it to me."

Su Chen smiled, stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his pants, and walked towards the exit of the track.

I had only taken a few steps when my phone vibrated again.

He looked down and saw it was a notification from the grade group chat.

Today]

Su Chen stared at the screen and read the notification twice from beginning to end.

"The weekly test content is usually distributed between 12 noon and 6 pm on Thursdays."

He muttered to himself, "I thought the exam time would be different this time because of the new college entrance exam regulations... but I didn't expect the exam time to be the same as before!"

One exam takes up a full two and a half days! Just like in my previous life.

Martial arts also require daily testing.

Competition is what stimulates potential!

Su Chen took a deep breath and focused his gaze on the section on strength assessment.

The ultimate load test: Carry the maximum weight you can bear and climb a 600-meter slope with a 30-degree incline within three minutes!

He glanced at the endurance test again.

A 20-kilometer cross-country run with a 50-kilogram load.

Su Chen's lips twitched, and he cursed inwardly.

That's insane!

"This week's strength and endurance tests were simply inhuman!"

but...

Pressure is a source of motivation.

Motivation is the foundation of progress.

The content of the college entrance examination is even more outrageous!

Getting used to these grueling training sessions in advance will allow you to handle the college entrance exam with ease and confidence.

"This week...we need to get this done."

With this thought in mind, Su Chen patted Xiao Zi's head and said, "The practical assessment is on Saturday, the day after tomorrow! Five Heads Mountain! Let's go!"

"Awoo~ Awoo~ Awoo~"
