High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

Sunday morning.

Lin Shuxuan hailed a taxi to the Inner Ring Police Station.

The inexpensive car he chose certainly didn't offer a riding experience as good as the ride of Bai Qi Group's heiress.

The rough leather made a teeth-grinding squeak when it came into contact with his clothes; it also had an unpleasant smell, which was only slightly relieved when he was near the window.

After reaching an agreement with Yu Xin, the other party asked him to report to the Public Security Bureau the next day.

Lin Shuxuan didn't have many opportunities to go to the inner ring, and every time he came, he was amazed by the high level of technology in this world.

If the outer ring where he lived was still similar to the 21st century before he traveled through time, then the inner ring was a pure futuristic city.

As the vehicle drove onto the elevated road, it finally stabilized.

The magnificent city unfolded before his eyes like a painting.

Skyscrapers surround the towering pagoda that reaches into the clouds, the sphere atop the pagoda emitting a dazzling pale yellow halo that shines in harmony with the rising sun on the horizon.

Around it, countless shuttles rose and fell rhythmically.

The landmark of Shinkai City, "Shinkai Pearl".

The city's ultimate weapon, and also its energy core.

It is said that it can even control the city's weather, but of course, Lin Shuxuan has never heard of anyone doing that.

Our gaze shifted to the outskirts of the city.

Xinhai City has the character "new" in its name, while the old one...

The ground is covered with broken walls and ruins. The tower that once symbolized human civilization in the center of the ruins now looks like the arm of a dying person reaching towards the sky.

Three hundred years ago, the behemoth "Leviathan" invaded the city.

Lin Shuxuan still remembers the video footage from that time. High-energy particles converged into lines, sweeping across the city in a fan shape; then came towering waves, with Leviathan's eyeballs appearing like the sun within them.

The old city was completely destroyed, and the survivors rebuilt a new city beside the ruins.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuxuan felt somewhat powerless.

[Opening] can give him twenty years of martial arts cultivation, enough to make him stand out among his peers.

But compared to such a colossal beast that roams the world, they are nothing more than large ants.

We must snowball our efforts and leverage the benefits of the "Open Skies" to become a leading figure among the Federation's younger generation!

The real world does have similarities with Teamfight Tactics.

In the early stages, the economy can quickly accumulate interest and snowball, resulting in returns far exceeding those of the same amount of money in the later stages.

Twenty years of martial arts training is nothing in the long run.

He needs to use this power to let the federal government know the value of investing in him and his talent.

Only in this way can one go further on the path of martial arts.

Before I knew it, we had arrived at our destination.

There is a three-story building in front of us.

The entire building appears to be made of a specially made transparent alloy, exuding a sense of technology. Despite its small size, the building possesses a magnificent presence; at this moment, it reflects rays of light under the sun.

This is the police station building in Xinhai City.

There are several coffee shops and restaurants nearby, and the business is quite lively. There are well-dressed white-collar workers and student couples secretly dating, creating a strong sense of community.

Step through the main entrance. You arrive at a large hall, with a guide desk directly in front of you.

The mature woman inside had long, wavy brown hair, delicate features, exquisite makeup, and a pair of large, watery eyes staring at her brown manicure.

From Lin Shuxuan's perspective, one can also see her full breasts and the black stockings under her bodycon skirt.

Before he could greet her, Yu Xin handed him a beautifully packaged black gift box.

"Gene supplement type IV, improves physical condition, expands meridians, has no side effects, a gift for you."

Lin Shuxuan watched as Yu Xin opened the gift box with her slender fingers.

The black and gold syringes lay quietly in the center of the box.

He had heard of this type of gene supplement. The scholarship for martial arts students in his high school was for Gene Supplement Type II, which was awarded only to the most outstanding martial arts students due to its limited quantity.

Lin Shuxuan only saw Jiang Yu take it.

As the top student in his class and among the top five in the entire school, he only publicly received three bottles per semester.

The high school he attended was definitely not low-class, and the school's investment in top students was quite lavish.

The fact that they spent money to bring in a top student like Bai Shasha to serve as a facade shows it.

Even so, top martial arts students like Jiang Yu still have limited access to gene supplements.

It's not that the school is stingy, but rather that these kinds of resources are simply too expensive.

It is said that high-end gene supplements can even bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, making them a best-selling product sought after by the wealthy.

The Type IV formula that Yu Xin gave her was far superior to Type II in both price and effectiveness.

This gift is quite generous.

However... Lin Shuxuan thought of his own "opening".

This supplement was no different to him than iced tea, oh, not that good.

He hesitated about how to refuse or choose a different gift.

Yu Xin found it amusing to see Lin Shuxuan's stunned expression.

This supplement was quite precious to her, and giving it as a gift showed her sincerity. She was somewhat looking forward to Lin Shuxuan's expression.

"I don't drink this kind of stuff; cultivation gained through drugs has too weak a foundation."

"You're welcome... Huh? What are you talking about?"

Yu Xin found it hard to believe; this level of supplement was impossible to buy even with money on the market, and Lin Shuxuan actually didn't want it?

Too lazy to explain, she pinched Lin Shuxuan's cheek and poured the supplement into his mouth.

Facts are more convincing than words.

She waited quietly for a while, only to find that Lin Shuxuan still had his eyes open, as if he had just drunk plain water.

This is impossible... She stared in disbelief.

"Don't you feel anything?"

Lin Shuxuan examined his internal organs and found that they were no different from usual.

The open design effectively negates all the benefits of the supplement.

"It feels sticky."

Seeing the doubt and uncertainty in Yu Xin's eyes, Lin Shuxuan was a little worried.

I hope they won't notice my superhuman physical abilities.

Then, Yu Xin made a judgment in a solemn tone.

"You... must be an unprecedentedly useless piece of trash."

Lin Shuxuan: "?"

Yu Xin sighed deeply again, then looked relieved.

"Alright, a few more bottles will eventually work. Come with me today."

Her ample thighs pushed aside the chair, her high heels clicking as she led Lin Shuxuan toward the basement.

The underground space is spacious, with all kinds of instruments emitting a sharp silver light, and there is a 50-meter-long metal runway on the right.

"These technological instruments are used to test physical fitness."

"Try it first, let me see your level."

Lin Shuxuan's heart tightened, as if he had returned to the scene of the 1000-meter test in his previous life.

......

After a test as brutal as a wild dog, Lin Shuxuan lay on the ground panting heavily.

His physical condition was already poor, and Yu Xin demanded that he push himself to the limit during the test.

So at this moment, he could only lie on the ground like a helpless husband.

"Are you sure you can handle this, Greyhound?"

Yu Xin lightly kicked his shoulder with the instep of her black pointed high heels.

Lin Shuxuan could only say with a feeling of great shame:

"Let me rest for a bit, I'm not feeling well today."

Yu Xin glanced at him disdainfully, then printed the report from the central screen.

"speed."

"strength."

"Muscles and bones".

"These are all indicators for measuring the energy level of life."

Yu Xin examined the form in her hand.

"Your life energy level is 1.7, which is still far from the average life energy level of 3 for adult males. Your physical condition is quite average."

Lin Shuxuan took the bottled water that Yu Xin handed him and gulped it down.

"I fell ill when I was fifteen, and my physical condition has been so-so ever since."

He thought for a moment and asked:

"What life energy level is considered qualified?"

"Adults who train their muscles to the extreme can reach level 3, and the average level of freshmen at the Federation Military University is level 18; the martial arts competition requires even higher levels, generally around level 20."

"Never mind, there are still two weeks until the competition, I can catch up on my studies."

Yu Xin threw the report away and clapped her hands.

Let me explain the competition format first.

"The martial arts competition is divided into two stages. After a week-long team competition, the top seven teams will advance."

"Then there will be a tournament to determine the seven strongest players who will advance to the early admission round."

Team competition, seven days... Lin Shuxuan grasped the key point.

"Should I find my own teammates for the team competition?"

"I've already made my choice."

Yu Xin said proudly.

She was a beautiful woman who could be both happy and angry, but pride was a rare expression on her face; she was like a hen holding her head high and chest out.

The hen said, "Go pick her up later. I've already asked her to teach you the martial arts."

Lin Shuxuan wondered who this person was who was so high-profile, but it seemed that the other party had also taught him the martial arts techniques, so it was only right for him to show some sincerity.

He turned to look at Yu Xin.

"I thought you were here to teach me martial arts techniques."

"I wish I could, but as a helpless adult, I have to go to work; I really envy you."

As Yu Xin spoke, she reached out and pinched his cheek.

Lin Shuxuan slapped it away, but Yu Xin's hands moved even faster, grabbing and squeezing it; after all, she was a martial artist, and her movements were too fast to see.

"Wait until I finish my business..." Watching the beautiful, mature woman's departing figure, Lin Shuxuan somewhat understood Chen Yi's feelings.

Open your phone and confirm the address.

He was going to pick up his cheap master.

......

Following the coordinates sent by Yu Xin, he finally arrived near his destination after many twists and turns.

However, they found that the crowd had completely surrounded one area.

Lin Shuxuan had seen similar scenes twice, and he already had some PTSD.

Has something happened again...? He glanced around.

Ahead was a manor, its bronze wrought iron gates exuding a solemn and dignified air, inside which lay a lush green lawn; its location was close to the center of Xinhai City; it was hard to imagine that someone would be so extravagant as to grow grass in such a prime location.

Although the crowd was bustling, they all tacitly kept their distance from the manor, as if out of respect or fear.

Opposite the manor is a square, with a huge bronze statue at the entrance, where crowds gather.

Lin Shu-hsuan visited the "New Sea City Plaza" when he was a child, and his aunt even took a picture of him and Chen Yi under the bronze statue.

It is said to have been established to commemorate the pioneers who rebuilt the new city.

Could someone have died beneath the bronze statue...? Lin Shuxuan's heart tightened, and he quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

Then he saw a girl.

Her long, silvery-white hair flowed like moonlight; large sunglasses sat on her pert nose, obscuring her eyes and eyebrows.

But just by looking at the exquisitely sculpted lines of the lips and cheeks, one can tell what kind of breathtaking beauty those eyes must possess.

She stood quietly beneath the bronze statue, yet possessed a beauty and majesty that seemed to have descended to earth.

People surrounded her without making a sound, as if the slightest noise would disrupt this eternal tranquility.

Lin Shuxuan saw a staff member tremblingly hand her a microphone and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to give a speech?"

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated...? Lin Shuxuan was speechless, but considering that every mayor of Xinhai City had to deliver their inaugural address under the bronze statue, he could somewhat understand the logic of the square staff.

This girl is the teacher recommended by Yu Xin.

Yu Xin didn't tell him what his teacher looked like, only saying, "You'll know when you see her."

But isn't this scene, resembling a missionary event, a bit too exaggerated?

Lin Shuxuan stepped forward.

"Night Moon?"

The sculpted, serene girl moved.

"Yu Xin asked me to pick you up. Is there something you need?"

The girl, wearing sunglasses, turned her face toward him, her voice like pearls falling on a jade plate.

"No, it's just that it feels easier to recognize."

Lin Shuxuan remained silent and led the girl away from the crowd.

Without the added boost of the mayor's inaugural address under the bronze statue, much less attention is being paid to them.

Only then did he take a closer look at the girl's appearance.

Humans have their own preferences for beauty and ugliness, but the face in front of me is as if it were copied by the Creator himself, every stroke is the most delicate outline; adding or subtracting even a little would destroy this beauty.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm watching Aphrodite..." Lin Shuxuan couldn't bring himself to say such a flattering thing. Instead, he asked, "Why didn't you go directly to the police station instead of having me come and pick you up?"

Lin Shuxuan had already thought of the answer as soon as the question was asked; it seemed that this girl was trying to put on airs as a teacher.

Ye Lingyue's small face furrowed slightly, and this vivid expression on her sculpted, serene face only added to her beauty.

Lin Shuxuan thought his question had offended her, but unexpectedly, those bright red lips trembled and uttered a few words.

"I don't know the way."

She's such a little idiot... Lin Shuxuan felt it was his responsibility to teach her, otherwise he would have to take over every "tutoring" session from now on.

"You can use your phone to navigate to the address; it's okay if you don't know the way."

Ye Lingyue's brows furrowed even deeper, her voice tinged with grievance. "I don't know how to use it either."

He took the girl in sunglasses back to the police station building.

Lin Shuxuan and Ye Lingyue sat facing each other, staring at each other with wide eyes through their sunglasses.

Even indoors, the girl with a terrible sense of direction didn't take off her sunglasses; it seemed her eyes couldn't tolerate light.

But this is a minor matter.

She was the teacher introduced by Yu Xin, but Lin Shuxuan was more concerned about her skill level.

This girl looks about his age. Can she really guide him?

"What kind of martial art do you want to learn?"

Ye Lingyue parted her bright red lips slightly, her voice as clear as a flowing spring.

"Which ones can I choose?" Lin Shuxuan was a liberal arts student, and his understanding of martial arts techniques was only based on hearsay, with almost no knowledge of the relevant details.

The phone chimed softly.

Ye Lingyue sent a friend request, along with three compressed files.

"The Scripture of Observing the Vast Ocean," "The Heart Sutra of Dragon Fist," and "The Secret of the Thick Earth of Heaven and Earth"

Lin Shuxuan stared blankly at the document on his phone. He had thought the cultivation technique would be recorded on a scroll, but it turned out to be a compressed file.

What are the differences between these three volumes of cultivation techniques?

Ye Lingyue knew everything and spoke without reservation.

"The Dragon Fist Heart Sutra comes with its own footwork and fist techniques. When mastered to a high level, it makes one the number one killer in the Federation."

"The 'Guan Cang Ming Shui Jing' is different from the 'Qian Kun Hou Tu Jue'; it is a practice method specifically created to temper the body."

They all sound pretty high-class... Lin Shuxuan thought to himself, but he wondered about the quality of these cultivation techniques.

Having finally climbed onto the big tree of the Public Security Bureau, I should at least learn a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique.
