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

Chapter 2 H-25 Modified Electromagnetic Pistol

"Don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you." Shen Xing nodded with a smile.

He could sense Juan's concern, presumably because his behavior over the past two weeks had changed so drastically that Juan mistakenly thought something had happened.

However, the awakening of past life memories is something that obviously cannot be explained.

As for other matters, Shen Xing was not prepared to involve this close friend.

Friendships formed in youth are the purest. If too many interests are involved, it is easy to affect this purity. Moreover, Juan has excellent talent and outstanding willpower. He broke through to the Skin Refining stage more than ten days ago, and his future is bright. Shen Xing doesn't need to worry about him.

"Alright, we'll meet again once you're in the training class." Juan waved his hand, said nothing more, and turned around. A personal flying car was already waiting there.

Watching his best friend get into that obviously not cheap flying car, Shen Xing couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

Having a rich girl girlfriend makes all the difference.

I reckon they've given him plenty of private cultivation resources as well.

However, he has awakened his past life memories and gained a "golden finger," which means he also has a bright future.

So there's nothing to envy.

Yes, he wasn't envious at all.

Shen Xing quickened his pace slightly, and with his martial arts skills that were almost at the point of being skin-twisting, he managed to snatch a bus from a group of junior high school students and head to his student dormitory.

Yes, student dormitories.

Even though he had been awakened to his past life memories for half a month, every time he was in the flying car and looked at this futuristic city full of high technology and youthful energy, Shen Xing felt as if he were in a dream.

In the entire city, or rather the entire planet, over 95% of the population are students under the age of 22, and the rest are mostly teachers and professors.

About eight hundred years ago, the Supreme Council of the Human Federation passed the "New Generation Martial Arts Training Project," which transformed the entire human home planet into an academy planet, where every child of school age could voluntarily enroll and enjoy Federation training.

There are now four billion students on this planet!

Every school is a city!

For example, Linjiang School, where Shen Xing is located, occupies the entire city of Linjiang and has more than six million students, covering four stages: kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, senior high school, and university. The most important of these is naturally the senior high school stage, because students can take the entrance exam for martial arts academies starting from this stage.

However, because martial arts resources are extremely precious, and this is a path that places great emphasis on mental discipline, the competition is also extremely fierce.

The first step, the talent test, alone eliminates more than 50% of the students. After enrollment, relying on one dose of basic essence liquid per day, they must reach the skin-refining stage within two months. This step eliminates another 50% of the students. Then comes the flesh-refining, bone-refining, marrow-refining, and viscera-refining stages.

The five steps of body refinement alone become increasingly complex, with longer cycles, more expensive resources, and fewer participants as you progress.

Less than one in a thousand people are able to receive the free resources during the training phase!

They forcibly divided all the students on the academy planet into different levels.

It was far more brutal than Shen Xing's previous life's academic experience.

However, in Shen Xing's view, the root cause of this cruelty lies in the lack of resources.

In the interstellar era, the level of productivity was beyond his imagination, but the resources for cultivation were different. The essence of martial arts cultivation lay in vital energy, but this world itself did not have vital energy.

According to historical records, martial arts began in 2053 when a portal to another world opened on the moon. Countless powerful alien beasts spread across the entire moon, and the primordial energy from that other world was drawn into the mother planet by the planet's gravity, thus initiating martial arts and the infinite evolution of life.

The lunar portal is now sealed. Although new interdimensional portals are constantly emerging throughout the solar system and even further into the deep universe, the vital energy on the home planet remains scarce. If it weren't for the Federation providing cultivation resources, a child from an ordinary family like his would have no chance to embark on the path of martial arts.

"Although human civilization in this era is technologically advanced and powerful, it is still fraught with contradictions," Shen Xing thought to himself as he sat on the flying bus. "Externally, there are powerful beings from other worlds eyeing us covetously, and the wars on the front lines are extremely fierce. Internally, there are problems such as the gap between the rich and the poor, the struggle for resources, the decline in the birth rate, and even the forces of traitors among humans."

A grand, exciting, yet dangerous world!

This is Shen Xing's summary of the past two weeks.

However, for those who are ambitious and confident enough, this world and this era are simply a dream paradise!

Shen Xing is exactly that kind of person.

Therefore, for the past two weeks, he has been in a state of high excitement.

At that moment, his personal terminal, which was installed on the surface of his pupil in the form of a contact lens, suddenly received a message.

"The goods have been delivered, the account has been cancelled, and I have no further responsibility for anything that happens afterward."

"It was delivered today as expected!"

Shen Xing took a small breath, suppressing her excitement, and waited quietly.

Although the population of Academy Planet is much smaller than before the interstellar era, in order to protect the environment of the home planet, a large area of ​​the entire planet is non-inhabitable, so the population is still crowded. Shenxing Elementary and Middle School are all multi-person dormitories. Only after entering the Martial Arts Academy in high school can one have a single dormitory room of no more than twelve square meters in a collective apartment.

If he breaks through the Skin Refining stage, he can move to a larger single dormitory. It is said that if he can break through the Body Refining stage and reach the Innate stage before the age of twenty-two, he can even own a detached villa!

Competition on the path of martial arts manifests in every aspect.

He walked all the way back to his dormitory building and found his package directly in the parcel collection area.

There are two in total.

One was slightly larger, well-packaged, and clearly purchased through legitimate channels, while the other, smaller one, was somewhat suspicious, bearing only a code and nothing else.

"I hope it's reliable."

Shen Xing carried the two packages and returned to his dormitory in a normal manner, quickly opening them.

They consisted of a helmet-shaped device and—a pistol.

That's right, it's a handgun.

Its appearance is somewhat different from the pistol in Shen Xing's previous life. It is all black, and there is a light on the handle, which is the battery indicator.

"The H-25 modified electromagnetic pistol has almost no recoil, comes with a silencer, and at maximum power output, the initial velocity of the bullet can reach 600 meters per second. Skin and muscles below the Marrow Refining Realm simply cannot withstand it." Shen Xing played with it for a while, then fired a shot at the quilt at minimum power. Only a "thud" could be heard as the quilt, which was stacked together, was directly pierced through. Its power should not be underestimated.
