Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 1 Chu Kuang
Martial arts for 100,000 years, Small Magellanic Cloud, Sirius Star Region, Tianyuan C Star.

Class 7, Grade 1, Tianheng No. 3 Middle School.

This is a massive martial arts room spanning several thousand square meters, constructed entirely of dark alloy. It is surrounded by various instruments, and a group of robots holding potions stand ready.

On the surrounding walls hung numerous banners: 'If you don't master martial arts, you'll end up with nothing in your old age. If you don't work hard today, you'll end up in the Dark Realm tomorrow. As long as you don't die from training, train until you die…'

Inside the martial arts room, over a hundred teenagers were undergoing end-of-month testing in front of a machine.

"Lin Su, minor success in Mad Ape Technique, vitality level 4.7."

"Wang Xi, minor completion of the Heavenly Origin Technique, vitality level 5.1."

"Zhang Ming, Rock-Solid Skill, minor mastery, vitality level 4.5."

As the test results of each boy and girl were announced, many students present showed expressions of either worry or joy.

After Zhang Ming finished the test, he came to Chu Kuang's side with a bitter face and said, "It's over. My life force level is only 4.5. My dad will probably beat me to death when I get home."

Chu Kuang shook his head: "I told you to practice martial arts properly, but you insisted on playing virtual games."

"Sigh, as you know, I don't have any talent for martial arts, so I can only take the path of genetic evolution."

Zhang Ming shook his head, then said, "My dad said he'll get me a first-tier gene evolution potion after I graduate high school. Do you want one then?"

Chu Kuang paused for a moment, then said, "The path of genetic evolution is too narrow. I want to try the path of martial arts as well."

"Then why are you wasting your time practicing basic martial arts?" Zhang Ming said, somewhat exasperated.

On the stage, as one student after another completed the test, homeroom teacher Xu Yue shook his head, a look of displeasure on his face: "You little brats are the worst class I've ever taught."

"Damn it, eight months have passed since the first year of high school, and there are hardly any people with a life level higher than level 5. It's like all that training has gone to waste."

At this point, Xu Yue looked at the crowd and said, "Jiang Feng, you come here."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

A figure stepped forward from the crowd.

Jiang Feng is a full 1.95 meters tall and as strong as a bull.

He walked up to the instrument and let it scan his body. Soon, a line of data appeared.

"Jiang Feng, mastered the Wild Bull Technique, vitality level 5.9."

"Level 5.9!"

"Damn, he's already at level 5.9? Doesn't that mean he's a shoo-in for the top 100 in our grade?"

A murmur arose from the crowd, and many people showed expressions of envy.

Since venturing into space, human civilization has established life force levels, with each level representing a leap in life energy.

The first level of life is defined by a strength of 100 kilograms and corresponding physical fitness.

With each subsequent level of life advancement, the strength doubles compared to the previous level, and the overall attributes also double.

Most people in the class have a life force level between four and five, which is roughly equivalent to a force of a little over a thousand kilograms. Jiang Feng, however, has a life force level as high as 5.9, which means he possesses a force of three thousand kilograms.
"Not bad. At this rate, your vitality will break through level six before the final exams of your first year of high school."

Xu Yue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Try throwing a punch."

"it is good."

Jiang Feng nodded, his pupils contracted instantly, and he suddenly channeled his inner energy and threw a punch.

This punch, like a bull charging at a mountain, with the force of a collapsing mountain, slammed into the instrument, causing it to vibrate and emit a loud bang. Then, a line of data appeared on it—4653KG.

"The Minor Mastery of the Bull Fist has increased punching power by 0.55 times."

"With a 0.55-fold increase in punching power, his Bull Fist is probably about to reach its full potential."

A chorus of astonishment arose from the crowd. The limit of a beginner-level fist technique being at the minor completion stage is a 60% increase in fist power, and Jiang Feng can achieve a 0.55x increase. The Savage Bull Fist is probably very close to the major completion stage.

Xu Yue nodded in satisfaction and looked at Jiang Feng, saying, "Not bad. Starting next month, I will give you ten bottles of nutrient solution every month."

"Thank you teacher."

Jiang Feng was delighted, thanked him, and then went downstairs.

Seeing this, Xu Yue looked at a girl in the crowd and said, "Lin Shuyao, come here too."

"Lin Shuyao has also started the test. She's a genius who first cultivates internal energy. I wonder how she compares to Jiang Feng?"

"It must be Lin Shuyao. Internal skills are usually practiced only after the second year of high school, which is much more noble than external skills."

"That's not necessarily true. The early stages of internal energy cultivation are slower and require much more resources."

"That's someone else. Lin Shuyao's parents are both Transcendent Realm experts, and the cultivation resources she has access to are far beyond what we can compare to."

The students discussed it animatedly, each showing curiosity.

Just then, Lin Shuyao stepped forward and let the instrument scan her. Soon, a line of data appeared.

"Lin Shuyao, Lingxi Gong has been mastered, and her vitality is at level 6.1."

"A life force of 6.1 is equivalent to 3400 kilograms of strength. This life force level is probably not much worse than that of the elite students who rank at the bottom of the key class."

A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd, and many people looked astonished.

Xu Yue nodded in satisfaction, then said, "You try striking with your palm too."

"it is good."

Lin Shuyao nodded, then struck out with her palm, a powerful internal force emanating from her palm, causing the instrument to tremble. A data point then appeared before everyone's eyes.

—5356KG.

"The Spirit Stream Palm technique has reached minor mastery, increasing palm power by 0.58 times."

"Not bad, your Spirit Stream Palm technique is almost mastered. You should put in more effort to practice it recently."

Xu Yue nodded in satisfaction. As the head of Class 7 in the first year of high school, his performance was closely related to the martial arts cultivation of these teenagers. If he could produce a few good students in the college entrance examination, the reward he received might help him advance his cultivation further.

If a top genius can be cultivated, he might get the opportunity to break through to a higher level.

While the students in Class 7 of the first year of high school weren't exactly outstanding, they were still quite promising, with Lin Shuyao and Jiang Feng being particularly noteworthy.

"Jiang Feng and Lin Shuyao are both quite talented. It shouldn't be difficult for them to cultivate their martial arts true bodies before the college entrance examination. The only question is whether they can cultivate their battle bodies."

"As for Chu Kuang, if we continue to delay, it will be too late."

As Xu Yue spoke, his gaze finally fell on Chu Kuang. After thinking for a moment, he called out, "Chu Kuang, why don't you give it a try too?"

Chu Kuang stood up, calmly walked to the instrument, and let the instrument detect his body. Soon, a line of data appeared.

"Chu Kuang, mastery of basic external skills, mastery of basic internal skills, vitality level 4.8."

"Only level 4.8?"

A collective sigh of regret rippled through the crowd, clearly indicating some surprise. Class 7 of the first year of high school had over a hundred students; this score would rank around 30th in the class, which was considered an upper-tier ranking, but it seemed far too low for Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang is no ordinary person. Back in junior high school, he was always among the top three students in his class and had mastered basic external martial arts at a very young age.

Unfortunately, Chu Kuang did not cultivate advanced techniques later on, but instead insisted on cultivating basic techniques, which resulted in very slow progress in his life level.

Xu Yue frowned slightly, glanced at Chu Kuang, and asked with a frown, "What have you thought about what I told you last time?"

Chu Kuang calmly said, "This student still wants to first perfect the basic techniques."

"Confused."

Xu Yue's expression immediately changed, and he said with a look of disappointment, "Basic techniques are just a transition. It's enough to master them. Even if you master them to perfection, the effect will be far inferior to advanced techniques that have reached the highest level."

"Although you have good comprehension, you are not a top genius, and your physical constitution is only average. If you waste a lot of time on basic techniques, it may delay your college entrance examination when you start to learn advanced techniques."

Chu Kuang fell silent. Logically speaking, Xu Yue's suggestion was indeed the best choice.

Unfortunately, Chu Kuang's situation was different, because he was not a person of this world, but a reincarnation of a human from Earth 100,000 years ago, and he carried a special opportunity.

Thinking of this, Chu Kuang lowered his eyes quietly, and a panel immediately appeared in his mind.

Name: Chu Kuang

Race: Terran

Hit Level: 4.8

Realms: Body Tempering Mastery, Internal Organ Refinement Mastery
Physical constitution: Medium [Grade 4]

Comprehension: Superior [Rank 7]

Constitution: Ordinary

Kung Fu Techniques: Basic External Kung Fu [Mastery 99%], Basic Internal Kung Fu [Mastery 93%], Iron Armor Kung Fu [Initial Understanding 53%].

Martial Arts: Basic Fist Techniques [Mastery 97%], Basic Spear Techniques [Mastery 98%], Basic Body Techniques [Mastery 95%], Mountain-Suppressing Fist [Initial Understanding 41%].

He used his mind to open the basic external martial arts manual, and a detailed panel for the manual immediately appeared.

Basic External Kung Fu: The general outline of all external kung fu, easy to learn but difficult to master, is the most suitable foundational kung fu for humankind. Attached entry: General Outline of External Kung Fu [Purple].

External Kung Fu General Principles [Purple]: All external kung fu techniques in the world are readily available. When the cultivation level does not exceed the same type of basic external kung fu, the cultivation speed will increase three times, and the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck will decrease three times.

Besides basic external skills, basic internal skills, basic martial arts such as fist techniques, spear techniques, and body techniques also have similar attributes.

The only difference is that Iron Armor Skill and Mountain Suppression Fist have the following attributes: Iron Armor [White] and Mountain Suppression [White], respectively.

Iron Armor [White]: Protects the body with iron armor, making it impervious to swords and spears. Iron Armor increases defensive power by 10%.

Zhenshan [White]: The fist can suppress mountains and rivers, and its power can destroy mountains. The upper limit of the power of Zhenshan Fist is increased by 10%.

After years of exploration, Chu Kuang has roughly understood the effects of his cheat system.

His cheat ability is to give birth to unique attributes for the cultivation techniques he practices, and the effects of these attributes are different for each technique.

Basic techniques are geared towards cultivation, while advanced techniques are geared towards enhancing combat power.

Secondly, the quality of an entry is improved according to the cultivation level, namely, initial understanding [white], minor achievement [blue], and major achievement [purple].

Taking the "General Outline of External Kung Fu" entry as an example, the bonuses are 30% for white, 100% for blue, and 30% for purple.

Over the years, Chu Kuang has focused his efforts on mastering the basic techniques, and now these basic techniques are not far from being perfected.

Based on the previous data, it can be inferred that once these basic techniques are perfected, the effects of the advancement of the entries will definitely be significantly improved, and the cultivation speed will likely increase tenfold.

He knew very well that with his middle-grade third rank and fourth rank of root bone, he was insignificant in this glorious era of humanity, because there were upper-grade third rank, top-grade, earth-grade, and heaven-grade root bones above him.

Without a cheat system, he would most likely only be able to reach the first-tier Transcendent Realm in this life. Even if there was a small chance of breaking through to the second-tier Transcendent Realm, he would only become the bottom of that realm.

In this situation, the basic cultivation techniques that increase cultivation speed are the key to his future achievements.

"Chu Kuang!"

Seeing that Chu Kuang remained silent, Xu Yue said with a hint of exasperation, "In two months, it will be the final competition for the first-year high school students."

“Every year, the top 100 students in our school’s first year of high school receive a spot to enter the Dark Domain for cultivation.”

"If we don't seize this opportunity, we'll fall behind at every step, and we might never catch up with our classmates again."

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuang showed a hint of excitement for the first time.

The Dark Realm is both the greatest opportunity for the rise of human civilization and its greatest trouble and enemy.

The formation of the dark domain is related to dark matter and dark energy in the universe. As early as 100,000 years ago, during the Earth's civilization era, humans discovered that there was hidden matter and energy in the universe.

People discovered that a certain energy is constantly driving the expansion of the universe, but human civilization has never been able to find where this energy is hidden, so it was named dark energy and dark matter.

It wasn't until 2761 AD, which later became the first year of martial arts, that humanity began to grasp the basics of space technology and discovered the existence of dark matter and dark energy.

It turns out that dark matter is hidden in the space near every planet, and this dark matter and energy level is extremely high, forming dark domains around the planet.

The size of the dark domain is closely related to the real material world.

In the universe, ordinary matter accounts for about 4.7%, while dark matter and dark energy, also known as source energy matter and cosmic source energy, account for about 27% and 68.3%, respectively.

In other words, the energy and matter in the dark region near a planet are equivalent to more than twenty times the mass of that planet.

Strictly speaking, the energy in the Dark Realm is not actually dark energy, but is very similar to the spiritual energy in the spirit world and immortal realm in novels, which people call cosmic source energy.

These cosmic energies have extraordinary uses; living beings can continuously grow stronger after absorbing and refining them, and may even become gods who hold high thrones or immortal saints.

The Dark Domain is full of countless opportunities, but it is also home to a large number of source beasts and native creatures, making it a place where opportunities and dangers coexist.

Humans classify the dark domain into six levels: Level 0 dark domain, Level 1 dark domain (dwarf planet level), Level 2 dark domain (planetary level), Level 3 dark domain (stellar level), Level 4 dark domain (black hole level), and Level 5 dark domain (galaxy level).

The energy difference between each level of the Dark Domain is exponential. Some terrifying creatures in the Level 2 Dark Domain even possess the terrifying power to destroy mountains and suppress strongholds.

They were just high school students, so naturally they were going to enter the Level Zero Dark Domain.

The so-called zero-level dark zone is a dark zone at the asteroid level. According to the current definition of asteroid size, it refers to a celestial body with a maximum diameter of no more than 1,000 kilometers. Its corresponding dark zone danger level is also the lowest among all dark zones.

Even though it's just a level zero dark domain, it's filled with high-quality cosmic energy. Even absorbing it for just one day is equivalent to cultivating in the outside world for a month.

Moreover, the dark domains that they were allowed to enter were all miniature zero-level dark domains that had been cleared by the human race many times and were almost completely safe.

This is a very rare opportunity. There are more than 5,000 first-year students in the entire Tianyuan No. 3 Middle School, but there are only 100 places available.

Of these hundreds of spots, fifty will be allocated to the top classes, leaving only one or two spots for the remaining forty-odd classes on average.

Thinking of this, Chu Kuang calmly said, "Don't worry, I will start cultivating advanced external skills within a month at the latest, and do my best to secure a spot."

"Ugh."

Xu Yue sighed, knowing that he hadn't listened to him, and could only wave his hand to let him leave.
