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

Chapter 8 Let's have a go.

It's important to understand that in the time-based competition system of the Martial Arts Academy, any resource can potentially provide a competitive advantage, allowing students who were originally unable to break through within the time limit to successfully advance to the next stage and acquire a large amount of free resources.

Although this Vitality Pill wasn't that important to Shen Xing, it's fair to say that this level of resource support could potentially change the fate of a martial arts student.

"If your nephew really comes looking for trouble, I'll go easy on him as a way of repaying him," Shen Xing thought to himself, still in a pretty good mood.

Although the Human Federation is facing severe internal competition and numerous problems, its overall atmosphere is still far superior to that of the primitive and barbaric other worlds.

Having received the reward resources from Teacher Li, Shen Xing wasted no time and ran towards the martial artist level registration office.

This training base of the Martial Arts Academy in the 32nd School District covers an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, with the furthest part being tens of kilometers away. There is no open space at all. The entire training base is a magnificent building that is connected as a whole. The lowest part is at least 100 meters high. Its scale exceeds that of any human building in the 21st century.

However, there are no means of transportation inside this enormous building.

According to the academy, if one needs transportation even for this short distance, one is not worthy of practicing martial arts.

Therefore, there are quite a few students who are running like Shen Fei.

Some of the older students were incredibly fast; judging by the naked eye, their running speed could reach 120 to 130 kilometers per hour, exceeding that of a cheetah. They were probably at least in the bone-training stage.

"This scene is quite impressive." Shen Xing sighed slightly at this world where everyone is a little superhuman, and also became interested in his current physical data.

The martial artist level registration site has detailed tests.

These are rooms tucked away in corners, offering strict privacy. Only one student is allowed in at a time, and there are no cameras or similar devices at the door.

When Shen Xing arrived, he found that all the rooms were already full, and there were several students waiting at the door.

They were mostly freshmen.

It seems that quite a few people are stuck on the last day of the month trying to break through to the next level.

Ok?

Shen Xing suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face.

This was a tall girl with a high ponytail and a rather cold expression. Shen Xing knew her name: An Yiyi.

But didn't she already break through to the Skin Refining stage?

Shen Xing remembers it clearly: she was the first girl among the more than two hundred students in their class to break through to the Skin Training stage, and it only took her a short week.

Clearly, besides having no shortage of resources, they are also exceptionally talented and hardworking.

And this wasn't even the fastest; two boys from clearly privileged backgrounds completed the task in just six days.

Compared to those students who couldn't make a breakthrough even after two months and had to transfer schools in disappointment, some gaps are so large that they are difficult to bridge even from birth.

However, Shen Xing wasn't concerned about the difference in family background at the moment. What she was really thinking was whether she had already broken through to the Body Refining stage.

That's pretty impressive.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Shen Xing only took two days to advance from the early to the middle stage of Skin Refining. In those two days, he consumed more than thirty pills, which would be worth at least tens of millions in the Human Federation!

Normally, even the wealthiest person wouldn't consume resources like this, as it's a serious waste of resources.

The style of Federation warriors is to squeeze every last drop of cultivation resource to its fullest potential.

The martial arts academy gave a full six months for the time limit from skin training to muscle training, with four months for eugenics.

Therefore, to go from an ordinary person to a training enthusiast in just one month, one must either have incredibly abundant resources, work incredibly hard, or have exceptional talent, or even all three—this is itself a comprehensive manifestation of hard work, talent, and resources.

This person is worth getting to know.

Shen Xing's eyes brightened slightly.

Having spent over a decade navigating the business world in his previous life, Shen Xing's attitude towards interpersonal relationships had long been habitually tinged with a degree of pragmatism.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

A utilitarian start doesn't necessarily preclude making true friends; relationships between people are inherently about giving and receiving.

Therefore, Shen Xing is always quite proactive when it comes to people worth getting to know. He has to take the first step to find out if they are compatible.

If we don't get along, it doesn't matter.

He walked straight towards the girl, a smile on his face: "An Yiyi?"

The girl looked up at him, her gaze somewhat puzzled.

This also attracted the attention of many people around. Obviously, among these teenagers who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, An Yiyi's outstanding appearance and aloof temperament still had a considerable appeal.

But Shen Xing didn't care. He just casually started a conversation: "We're in the same class, but you broke through a long time ago. I didn't expect to see you here."

"."

An Yiyi clearly had no impression of Shen Xing. She opened her mouth slightly, but seemed unsure of what to say.

However, just from this expression, Shen Xing was certain that this girl was not completely indifferent or aloof.

That cold demeanor was probably just a camouflage.

Some girls, especially those who are quite beautiful, seem aloof, but that's only because you don't know them well. Once you get to know them, you'll find that they're not aloof at all, but rather very warm and friendly.

Only naive teenagers would be scared off by such camouflage. People like Shen Xing, having seen through some of his true personality, naturally wouldn't care.

"You must have broken through to the Body Training stage, that's really impressive." He chuckled as if chatting casually with a friend. "Would you mind telling me about the differences between the Skin Training and Body Training classes?"

".Um."

An Yiyi seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still responded softly.

This reaction was pretty much what Shen Xing had guessed.

If he were truly aloof and arrogant, he would have simply greeted them and gone home. Making friends and building connections isn't something you can do by being overly friendly.

However, just as An Yiyi was pondering what to say, a voice filled with suppressed anger suddenly came from beside her.

"If you want to know what's different, just go into the class and you'll find out." This was a boy who was also waiting to register here, glaring angrily at Shen Xing. "Didn't you see that even classmate An didn't want to talk to you? You're so shameless."

Seeing the boy whose displeasure was practically written all over his face, and who was still stealing glances at An Yiyi, Shen Xing couldn't help but chuckle.

I really miss that innocent, sensitive youthful spirit.

However, this is not some coming-of-age story about teenagers.

"Have you forgotten that this is a martial arts academy?" Shen Xing stretched out his hand and beckoned, his smile unchanged. "If you really don't like me, then come and have a match. I'd like to see what the difference is between martial arts combat at the Skin Refining Realm."
