In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 1 An Era of Infinite Possibilities

The year 4032, humanity's home planet.

Linjiang Middle School, School District 32.

This is a spacious and huge training room, where more than two hundred fifteen- or sixteen-year-old students are scattered. Each of them is wearing strange-looking clothes that look like down jackets or bodysuits, covering their entire bodies, and they are doing all sorts of bizarre movements.

On the platform at the very front, a teacher dressed in white, with bulging muscles and eyes like a hawk, was constantly scanning each student.

"Pay attention to your movements! Don't force them! Don't distort them!"

Even if you feel like giving up, keep going!

"Grit your teeth! Grit your teeth! Don't make me say it a third time!"

"For most of you, martial arts is the only path to upward social mobility!"

"Think of the endless stars, think of the endless world! In this magnificent era, full of infinite possibilities, tell me, are you content to remain at the bottom of society, living a mediocre and unproductive life for two hundred years? Or will you bravely forge ahead, shatter the galaxy, and pursue the limits of evolution in endless life!"

"Anyone who hasn't reached the Skin Refining stage within two months will be expelled from the martial arts school! There will be no more free resources!"

"Twenty-seven days have passed! Only thirty-three days remain!"

"."

The teacher's voice was like a bell, constantly striking the hearts of every student.

People kept reaching their limit, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily, yet still struggling to get up.

Some people couldn't withstand the combined physical and mental pressure and broke down in tears.

But the vast majority of people just grit their teeth and keep doing their own thing, completely ignoring everything around them.

Shen Xing was one of them.

He had reached his physical limit, his face was pale, and a lot of sweat was being absorbed by the suit, but he remained calm and focused on his movements.

This set of "Basic Training Exercises for Human Martial Arts" is the essence of human martial arts over two thousand years. It can train more than 95% of the body and has a total of 36 movements. With the assistance of specially designed load-bearing suits, the training effect of each movement is exceptionally amazing.

Even so, the probability of reaching the first step of martial arts—skin training—within two months is still less than 50% across all martial arts schools on the entire home planet of the academy.

Finally, as a bell rang, everyone stopped.

Shen Xing's legs trembled incessantly, but he still managed to stand. Looking around, he realized that out of more than two hundred people, only about twenty were still standing.

"very good!"

The teacher stepped down from the stage, but his voice remained loud, as if he had deliberately made sure all the students could hear him clearly.

"All students still standing, come and collect your basic elemental fluid rewards. You can also rent your load-bearing suits back. Remember, the path of martial arts is all about competition! It's not just about competing for time and resources, but also about fighting for an indomitable spirit and a will to never give up!"

Shen Xing had heard these words more than twenty times.

This martial arts teacher repeats it almost every day.

However, even if he didn't say it, Shen Xing would still fight for it.

Coming to such a world and such an era is an opportunity that countless ancient people could not have imagined. If he were to waste it and live a mediocre life, Shen Xing would not be able to forgive himself.

So, even though his legs were still trembling, he was the first to take a step and walk towards the martial arts teacher.

"Teacher Li."

"Hmm, Shen Xing, I remember your name." Teacher Li, their martial arts instructor, looked Shen Xing up and down, a rare smile appearing on his face. "Half a month ago, your performance was mediocre; your willpower and determination were average. But you suddenly had an epiphany, and your progress in the past two weeks has been tremendous. This is your tenth time receiving the extra Yuan Liquid reward. So, how long until you reach the Skin Refinement stage?"

"It should be within the next two or three days," Shen Xing said without hiding anything.

His talent was already quite good, but just as Teacher Li said, his willpower was weak during the first half month of martial arts training. He couldn't persevere to the end each time, wasting the effects of the Yuan Liquid. Otherwise, he should have been able to break through to the Skin Refining Realm long ago.

However, there was nothing he could do.

After all, it had only been half a month since he awakened his memories of his past life.

Moreover, Shen Xing was not a martial arts master in his previous life. In his world, or rather, in his era, there was no such thing as martial arts. He was just an ordinary person.

However, in her previous life, she was born into a poor family, got into a top university through her own efforts, and continued to work hard without taking a break. Before the age of thirty, she already had tens of millions in assets. In terms of willpower and determination, she was indeed much stronger than her predecessor in this life.

"Not bad." Teacher Li's eyes lit up upon hearing Shen Xing's answer, and he immediately said, "If you can reach the Skin Refinement stage within three days, and finish within a month, I'll personally reward you with five bottles of Basic Yuan Liquid. Keep up the good work!"

"Thank you, teacher." Shen Xing knew that for every student who could reach the Skin Refining Realm within a month, the instructor would receive an additional reward, so he did not politely decline.

Moreover, if the plan succeeds, he can break through today, let alone in three days!

By this time, his physical strength had recovered considerably. After receiving his extra reward—a small tube of blue basic essence liquid—Shen Xing packed up his load-bearing suit and left the training ground.

"Ah Xing, wait a minute." A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Old Hu?" Shen Xing turned around and looked at his friend.

This is a handsome young man with a sunny smile, who is also Shen Xing's best friend in his previous life, named Juan.

However, although the two have known each other since childhood and were classmates at the same school, they are not inseparable. Most of the time, they are busy with their own things and only get together from time to time.

Juan smiled broadly, looked Shen Xing up and down, and shook his head with admiration, "You got another reward of Yuan Liquid? You're really amazing now, even I, your best friend, hardly recognize you. Do you have time today? It's been quite a while since we last got together."

"Indeed, but it's Friday today, your girlfriend will be coming too, right?" Shen Xing said calmly.

Juan's smile froze, and his expression fell instantly: "Ah Jiao's temper is indeed a bit... well, don't worry, I already talked to her about it last time, and she's prepared to apologize to you this time."

"Forget it." Shen Xing couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression. "It's perfectly normal for the young lady from Bailing Academy to be arrogant. The fact that she's willing to apologize to me shows that she really cares about you. Cherish her, Lao Hu. But I really have something to do today. I already have an appointment with someone. I'll definitely do it next time."

Juan didn't speak, but looked at Shen Xing for a long time before finally sighing and saying in a slightly more forceful tone, "Alright, but if you need any help, be sure to tell me."
