Chapter nine

Yang Zhuo ignored the bet with Luo Hao; it was a trivial matter to him. What he cared about now was the 20 points of exchange value he had just acquired.

That's right, Yang Zhuo had just received 20 exchange points. It was a message from the system right after Teacher Liu announced everyone's scores.

Congratulations, host, for completing the random task "A Stunning Success" and earning 20 exchange points.

With immense excitement, Yang Zhuo opened the AI, and the virtual interface appeared in his mind.

Sure enough, Yang Zhuo felt a surge of excitement as he saw the task he had just completed in the task system.

Mission: Make a name for yourself.

Mission Requirements: Now that you have the system, what reason do you have to waste your life? Use your knowledge to excel in the exam and fulfill your bet with your enemy!

Completion reward: 20 exchange points.

Below the exchange shop, the exchange value had clearly increased to 20. Yang Zhuo was very excited. The previous 10 exchange points had already made him so powerful, and now with these 20 exchange points, he was sure he could exchange for some good things.

Moreover, this also confirmed one thing for me: the source of the exchange value.

The so-called exchange value should be the recognition of one's strength by others, or the incurrence of their hostility, which is the so-called showing off and getting slapped in the face.

I love it when someone shows off and then gets slapped in the face!

Yang Zhuo chuckled to himself.

These days, there's no shortage of rich kids and government officials' kids. Yang Zhuo feels no pressure at all when it comes to stepping on such people!

Li Gang, Wang Gang, Li Shuangjiang, and others like them are all just sending me exchange points!

However, after a period of excitement, Yang Zhuo quickly calmed down. He realized that his strength was still too weak. At this stage, any rich kid could easily kill him, so he should exchange for something to increase his strength!

Opening the martial arts category reveals a dense list of various martial arts styles, including Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and other martial arts from all over the world. Beginner Tai Chi and Bajiquan require 20 exchange points, beginner Muay Thai requires 10 exchange points, and beginner Taekwondo only requires 5 exchange points. The exchange points required for other martial arts also vary.

Yang Zhuo first ruled out Muay Thai and Taekwondo. How strong could the martial arts of such small countries be? Just look at the exchange value required. Beginner Taekwondo only requires 5 exchange values, which is enough to show how trash Taekwondo is.

Furthermore, Yang Zhuo never considered learning foreign martial arts. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do was good, and beginner Jeet Kune Do only required 10 exchange points. What Yang Zhuo truly loved were undoubtedly Tai Chi and Bajiquan.

"Tai Chi brings peace to the world through literature, while Bajiquan brings stability to the universe through martial arts." This saying is familiar to almost everyone who has heard of Chinese martial arts.

The name Tai Chi is known to almost everyone nowadays. Even elderly people on the street practice Tai Chi in their spare time, which is enough to show how widely Tai Chi has spread.

While Bajiquan is less well-known than Tai Chi, its powerful and fierce nature is widely recognized, and most martial arts practitioners are familiar with its strength and ferocity.

Tai Chi is soft and supple, while Level 8 is hard and fierce. Tai Chi is mostly for defense, while Level 8 is mostly for offense.

Knowing that he would inevitably have to fight with others in the future, Yang Zhuo ultimately chose to exchange for the beginner level Bajiquan.

Bajiquan is the name of a Chinese martial art. "Baji" means that its power can reach extremely far in all directions. Its movements are simple and straightforward, yet powerful and crisp, often involving stomping and striking motions. Originally a regional style, Bajiquan gained worldwide fame after being popularized by several masters.

It can be said that now that Yang Zhuo has mastered Bajiquan, his safety will be greatly guaranteed. At the very least, he won't be ganged up on by thugs anymore, and he might even be able to play the hero and save a damsel in distress.

Therefore, Yang Zhuo was quite satisfied with obtaining the Bajiquan martial art.

Yang Zhuo never imagined that he would be able to learn martial arts one day. Although it was only the beginner level of Bajiquan, he thought, "Since Bajiquan is so famous, the beginner level must be quite strong, right?"

After thinking it over, Yang Zhuo didn't exchange the item immediately. Who knew what would happen after he exchanged it? Would they start practicing it in class? That would be embarrassing for him.

After evening self-study ended and Yang Zhuo returned home, he summoned the exchange shop and exchanged for the beginner level of Bajiquan.

Soon, Yang Zhuo felt as if he were surrounded by sunshine, his whole body felt warm and comfortable, and he felt indescribably relaxed and at ease.

Just as Yang Zhuo was immersed in that feeling, he suddenly felt a sharp pain. A lot of information about Bajiquan instantly flooded his brain. Yang Zhuo quickly closed his eyes, and like a martial arts master on TV, he firmly planted his feet in a horse stance. He began to carefully process this sudden information. After all, it was learning, and Yang Zhuo needed to digest a lot of information. Otherwise, if he didn't even know where Bajiquan came from or how to execute moves, how could he possibly learn Bajiquan?

Slowly, Yang Zhuo began to move, demonstrating each move one by one. If someone who knew Bajiquan were here, they would surely exclaim in amazement that this was Bajiquan.

Authentic Bajiquan.

Putting all that aside, Yang Zhuo closed his eyes and began to digest each move of Bajiquan. His body began to demonstrate, and with his eyes closed, Yang Zhuo seemed to have forgotten time, demonstrating each move faster and faster, and becoming more and more proficient.

Finally, Yang Zhuo slowly came to a stop.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Zhuo opened his eyes and couldn't help but look at his body. His hands and feet seemed to be bigger than before, and his muscles seemed to be much stronger.

Although the physical changes were not obvious, Yang Zhuo, who knew his own body well, was very clear about what changes had occurred in his body.

It's fair to say that if the current Yang Zhuo were to fight the former Yang Zhuo, he could defeat more than a dozen of his former selves.

This is the biggest change.

At this moment, Yang Zhuo could feel that his muscles and bones had become much stronger. Most importantly, he seemed to be very familiar with the moves of fighting and martial arts. Perhaps he could not compare with those who had been practicing for a long time, but as long as he persisted for a few months, Yang Zhuo would definitely be more proficient than them.

"System, how strong am I now?" Yang Zhuo asked impatiently.

"Please experience it for yourself, host."

A cold, hard remark did not deter Yang Zhuo.

"Do you think I'm strong enough to beat Bruce Lee?"

"..."

"Could he defeat Chen Zhen?"

"..."

"Can you..."

Yang Zhuo tirelessly shared his happiness with the AI—well, even though it was one-sided, it was still happiness, wasn't it?
