City: Start practicing Chinese martial arts

The morning sun shone through the clouds, filling the campus with a fresh scent. However, Lin Tian's mood was as dark as a cloud, and he entered the school gate with a bit of melancholy.

At this moment, a chubby figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Tian. It was Li Yingjun. He greeted Lin Tian with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Tian, good morning!"

Lin Tian raised his head, forced a smile and responded, "Good morning, Fatty."

Seeing the lingering depressed look on Lin Tian's face, Li Yingjun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Lin Tian sighed, shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Alas! It's just that my realm is stuck and I can't break through."

Hearing Lin Tian's answer, Li Yingjun almost choked on his own saliva. He widened his eyes, opened his mouth into an O shape, and then quickly closed his mouth, not asking any more questions.

For others, hearing someone complain about being stuck in a realm and unable to break through might be sympathetic and understanding. After all, the path of cultivation is filled with hardships and challenges, and advancing in realm is no easy task. But to Li Yingjun, Lin Tian's words were nothing but boasting. For ordinary people, being stuck in a realm is usually measured in years, while Lin Tian's description of being stuck is measured in months or even days. This disparity filled Li Yingjun with immense envy and resentment.

Based on Li Yingjun's understanding of Lin Tian, this time will not exceed three months at most.

Li Yingjun had always been curious about Lin Tian's strength. Although Lin Tian always gave a perfunctory answer whenever he asked, Li Yingjun once asked his uncle about it. His uncle told him that Lin Tian's strength was definitely not inferior to his. This news shocked Li Yingjun.

In front of the teaching building, Lin Tian and Li Yingjun said goodbye and parted ways. They were in different classes, so they had to go to their respective classrooms.

When Lin Tian stepped into the classroom, he immediately noticed that his classmates were discussing a topic enthusiastically.

"I heard that the beastman robbed a bank again! And attacked several innocent passers-by!" a student said excitedly.

"What? That beastman hasn't been caught yet?" another student asked in surprise.

"Yes, the police seem to be helpless against him. Everyone must be careful when going home next time!" a girl reminded worriedly.

……

However, Lin Tian did not take these discussions to heart. He was more concerned about how to comprehend the will of martial arts, because this was the key to his breakthrough to the Baodan realm.

So he sat quietly in his seat and began to think about how to improve his level.

The will of the martial arts is a product somewhere between the virtual and the real. It's identical to divine consciousness and spiritual awareness. Initially, it emerged from nothing, from illusion to substance. However, this existence is in harmony with the principles of the Way of Heaven. Therefore, the will of the martial arts is imbued with the Dao's rhyme, a more powerful force.

But now, Lin Tian has no idea how to comprehend the will of martial arts. It seems that he can only see if the system can help.

"System, open my attribute panel." Lin Tian said to the system in his mind.

"Ding! The host attribute panel has been opened."

Name: Lin Tian

Race: Terran

Age: 18 years old

Physique: Innate Dao Body

Realm: Perfect Gangqi Realm

Kung Fu: Qiankun Creation Technique

Martial Arts: Baguaquan (perfect), Tai Chiquan (perfect)

Sign-in accumulation times: 7 times

Lin Tian was a little happy when he saw that the accumulated number of sign-ins was 7 times. After all, he had not signed in since the second time he signed in. It was a bit hard for him to endure not signing in every day.

"System, spend the accumulated times of 7 sign-ins." Lin Tian said to the system a little nervously in his mind.

"Ding! After deducting the accumulated times of 7 sign-ins, the remaining accumulated times of sign-ins are 0." The system voice sounded in Lin Tian's mind.

Lin Tian waited anxiously for the items he would sign in this time.

Three seconds later, the system's voice sounded in Lin Tian's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining an opportunity for enlightenment."

When Lin Tian heard about the items to be signed in this time, he jumped up from his chair excitedly.

At this time, the bell for class had been ringing for half a minute. The students were waiting for the teacher to come to class, and the classroom was quiet.

Hearing the sound, the students all looked towards Lin Tian.

Feeling the gazes of his classmates, Lin Tian scratched his head and sat down embarrassedly.

"Damn, this is so embarrassing. I didn't pay attention in class. But this opportunity for enlightenment from signing in will definitely help me understand the will of martial arts." Lin Tian thought to himself.

Although the Xiantian Dao Body could help Lin Tian comprehend the will of the martial arts, this mainly required practice and would take at least several months. However, the world was so dangerous now, and Lin Tian was still anxious about breaking through the realm and improving his strength.

Xia Linxi, who was sitting in the front doing homework, asked her deskmate Gu Xiaoman with a worried look on her face, "Xiaoman, is Lin Tian okay? He's been looking depressed since he entered the classroom, and he was so startled just now."

Gu Xiaoman rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "How should I know? Why don't you just ask him yourself?"

Then, Gu Xiaoman looked at Xia Linxi and said, "Linxi, if you like him, just confess to him! You're just going to regret it after graduation. You only have two or three months left before you graduate from high school, and then you'll go your separate ways."

Gu Xiaoman felt that Xia Linxi was a blockhead. Based on her years of experience watching idol dramas, if Xia Linxi continued to be so shy, she would definitely miss Lin Tian in the end.

"He saved me before, and I don't know whether I should be grateful to him or like him." Xia Linxi said to Gu Xiaoman.

Afterwards, Xia Linxi told Lin Tian how he saved her.

"I still feel a bit traumatized when I think back on it. I kept asking for help from passers-by along the way. Some of them wanted to lend a hand, but the traffickers persuaded them to go back with a sentence like, 'The child doesn't understand. He just had a fight with us and that's what happened.' I was completely desperate, but Lin Tian saved me in the end. He pulled me out of the abyss of despair." Xia Linxi said to Gu Xiaoman.

After listening to Xia Linxi's story, Gu Xiaoman looked at Xia Linxi with a complicated expression and said, "Alas, how could such a melodramatic plot appear in the real world?"

Then, Gu Xiaoman continued, "I think in your case, you might be mostly grateful. However, you still need to get along with Lin Tian first to know the specific situation. But I see that you haven't communicated with Lin Tian except for class matters."

Hearing Gu Xiaoman's words, Xia Linxi nodded, and at the same time she was thinking about how to make friends with Lin Tian.

Soon, the bell for the last class in the afternoon rang, and it was time to go home.

In Shanghai No. 1 Middle School, even in the senior year, teachers will not arrange evening self-study. After all, most students' parents will hire tutors to help their children with their homework. Other students can study in the classroom by themselves, and if they don't understand, they can go to the office to ask the teacher.

Xia Linxi said to Gu Xiaoman, "Let's go together."

Gu Xiaoman asked doubtfully, "You don't ride a bike anymore?"

Xia Linxi said, "Take the bicycle to be repaired."

"Oh." Gu Xiaoman nodded and said.

Along the way, Xia Linxi and Gu Xiaoman were chatting and laughing. At this time, Gu Xiaoman discovered that something seemed to have happened ahead.

"Lin Xi, did something happen up ahead? Should we go up and take a look?" Gu Xiaoman asked.

"Let's not do it. It would be terrible if there was danger later." Xia Linxi said.

At this moment, something happened ahead and the onlookers began to flee in all directions.

A figure in a black robe ran wildly in one direction.

On the other side, Xia Linxi and Gu Xiaoman noticed that the onlookers were fleeing in all directions, and they realized that something was wrong and started running backwards.

However, perhaps it was bad luck, the path they chose was the same direction the figure was running in.

On the way, they heard people around them shouting, "There's a monster! Run away!"

Out of curiosity, they looked back and found a figure in a black robe running towards them. Anyone who stood in the way of the figure was knocked away by his punch, and their life or death was unknown.

Suddenly, their faces turned pale and they could only run forward.

However, due to physical problems, they were already out of breath and their speed had slowed down.

Suddenly, Xia Linxi accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaoman was about to go over and support Xia Linxi, but her face turned pale when she turned around.

Seeing Gu Xiaoman's pale face, Xia Linxi seemed to realize something and turned her head stiffly.

She saw an ugly fist enlarged in front of her.

Faced with the threat of death, she could only stand there in fear, at a loss as to what to do.

Gu Xiaoman on the side yelled, "Xia Linxi!"
