Four Skills for All.

Shuncheng No.1 High School.

Classroom of Class 1, Grade 3.

"There are only ten days left until the college entrance examination. Everyone must review the theoretical knowledge well, especially those students who have not yet awakened to the importance of skills. They must thoroughly study the theory of skills. Those who have awakened to the importance of skills should not be complacent. The college entrance examination really will determine a person's fate."

A man dressed in black was speaking at the podium; this was Gao Quan, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 12.

Unlike the relaxed demeanor of his classmates, Mo Xiu's eyes were filled with seriousness and determination.

Mo Xiu knew that the college entrance examination might not be that important for other people from well-off families.

But for me, this was an opportunity to change my destiny, an opportunity I had to seize.

Gao Quan continued, "Now we'll study on our own until noon, and after lunch we'll train at the training ground."

After Gao Quan finished speaking, he turned and left. Some students started chatting after seeing their homeroom teacher leave.

"Hey, did you guys hear? Zhou Qiuwu from Class Two awakened yesterday, and apparently he awakened two skills directly."

"Really? Two skills? That's amazing! They've already created distance between us. Do you know what those skills are?"

"Of course, they come from a prestigious family, so their talent goes without saying. Are you an idiot? Who doesn't keep their skills secret? Why would you let them know?"

"Yes, yes!"

Mo Xiu ignored his classmates and began reviewing his first-year high school courses, including the origins and basic explanations of skills.

Turn to the first page, which details the origin of the skill.

"Skills are a special gift bestowed upon humankind by the heavens. A meteor fell to Earth, emitting a tremendous light, and its invisible radiation swept across the globe, creating the world we know today. That meteor was named 'Beginning,' and is now kept by the Sea Clan..."

The second page:

"Humans were thus endowed with extraordinary abilities, which are now known as the four skills. Each person has four skills, and the first skill is awakened on their 18th birthday, and one skill is awakened every year thereafter."

This game-like ability descended upon Earth, causing earth-shattering changes.

Mo Xiu's birthday is tomorrow, and he hasn't awakened his skills yet. If the college entrance exam can change one's destiny, then awakening can determine one's destiny.

The strength and application of a skill directly determine a person's future career path.

So as my 18th birthday approaches, I am filled with trepidation.

Before we knew it, the lunch break bell rang.

Ring ring ring...

"Hey! Mo Xiu, stop looking at this, go eat. Are you really going to start reviewing the theory from scratch?"

The speaker's name was Zheng Yi, Mo Xiu's only friend from high school.

Mo Xiu calmly closed the book, smiled indifferently, and said, "Why not?"

Zheng Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Whatever you want, go eat!"

The two went to the cafeteria for a meal together. As soon as they sat down, Zheng Yi sneakily leaned close to Mo Xiu's ear.

"Mo Xiu, there's a party tonight, why don't you come with me?"

Mo Xiu was eating when he glanced at Zheng Yi, shook his head, and said, "No, I'm going to practice extra at the training ground tonight."

Zheng Yi curled his lip and said, "How boring. Mu Qingyi is going to this gathering too. Don't say I didn't help you, brother."

Mu Qingyi is the class monitor, and she and Mo Xiu are the two most hardworking people in the class and even the whole school.

The two were often the last to leave the school, so they usually had some interaction.

Zheng Yi noticed that Mo Xiu seemed to be getting close to Mu Qingyi, so he decided to try and bring them together.

"I'm not going no matter who goes!"

"You're such a blockhead."

……

Shuncheng High School, martial arts training ground.

"Wow! That's awesome! Mosh has broken the speed record again!"

"Yeah, yeah, the 100-meter time this time was 7.65 seconds! Wow, that might be a school record!"

"You two, stop being so infatuated. Didn't you see Mo Xiu's aloof expression? Forget about it."

A group of girls were discussing Mo Xiu outside the venue.

The college entrance examination consists of three parts: the first is theory, the second is physical fitness test, and the third is skills test.

The theory doesn't need much explanation; it's just the knowledge learned from textbooks.

The physical fitness test includes strength test, speed test and combat test.

Skill testing involves simulating an opponent using a computer to assess the usefulness and strength of a skill.

Mo Xiu doesn't need to worry about the first two subjects now. He ranks among the top two in the entire school in theoretical subjects, and he is far ahead in physical fitness tests.

There's a saying circulating at Shuncheng High School: in the physical fitness test, the whole school is divided into three tiers. The first tier is Mo Xiu, then there's a tier left, and everyone else is in the third tier.

Mo Xiu's only worry is the skills test; the time is too tight, with only ten days left until the college entrance examination.

There will be very little time to figure out your own skills.

"My speed is 7.65 meters per minute and my punching power is 230.4 kg. I still need to work harder. With my skills still unclear, I need to improve my scores in the other two subjects as much as possible."

A sudden and arrogant voice shattered the silence.

"Mo Xiu, do you dare to have a match with me?"

The person who came was named Wang Xuanhu. He was in the same class as Mo Xiu, and his grades were always surpassed by Mo Xiu and Mu Qingyi. He was always ranked third.

He was very unhappy because he was constantly pinned down by Mo Xiu.

They couldn't stand Mo Xiu's arrogant attitude, and since many people were paying attention to Mo Xiu today, they wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass him.

"Compare what?"

"Of course, it's about real combat. The physical fitness test for the college entrance exam includes a combat component, so it won't be easy for you to find training opponents, will it?"

Mo Xiu thought about it and realized that he did not have much practical experience, so he agreed without much hesitation.

The two arrived at a square field with a length and width of 25 meters. In the official competition, the winner is determined by whether the player goes out of the circle or falls to the ground and cannot get up.

Mo Xiu's physical abilities were terrifying, and no one dared to challenge him during his three years of high school, so this match attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

At this moment, Zheng Yi squeezed into the crowd and saw that someone wanted to challenge Mo Xiu, which immediately piqued his interest.

He shouted, "Wang Xuanhu, are you asking for a beating?"

Zheng Yi wasn't being arrogant; in a competition where skills weren't used, Mo Xiu was invincible.

"Shall we begin?"

Mo Xiu extended one hand in a gesture of invitation and said.

Wang Xuanhu did not answer, but instead took a step forward and accelerated to approach Mo Xiu.

Zheng Yi shouted "despicable!" from the sidelines.

The two were not far apart to begin with, and Wang Xuanhu suddenly launched an attack, instantly arriving in front of Mo Xiu, trying to catch him off guard.

Mo Xiu remained calm and showed no sign of panic. He pushed off with his feet, advancing instead of retreating, and in a flash, he reached Wang Xuanhu's right side, punching Wang Xuanhu in the stomach.

"what!"

Wang Xuanhu collapsed to the ground in pain. After a while, seeing that Mo Xiu had not continued his attack, he slowly stood up.

Off the field, most people believed that the gap between the two was too large, and Wang Xuanhu was bound to lose.

Wang Xuanhu lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, and launched another attack.

Mo Xiu kicked at Wang Xuanhu's face, but this time Wang Xuanhu dodged it.

Having dodged the attack, Wang Xuanhu did not continue his assault, but instead grabbed Mo Xiu's leg.

Mo Xiu wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and punched Wang Xuanhu in the chest.

Just when everyone thought the match was over, Wang Xuanhu revealed a sinister smile.

"First skill, Explosive Thrust!"

To everyone's disbelief, sharp spikes suddenly sprouted from Wang Xuanhu's body.

At this point, it was impossible for Mo Xiu to retract his fist; he could only transform it into a claw and try to minimize the damage.

The claw gripped the spikes on Wang Xuanhu's body firmly. Mo Xiu used the leverage to pull out his left leg and retreat.

Although Mo Xiu was on guard, he still suffered serious injuries, with his left leg and right hand being pierced.

Zheng Yi rushed into the arena, glaring at Wang Xuanhu and saying, "Wang Xuanhu, you actually used superpowers! You're shameless! I'll make you suffer today!"

Wang Xuanhu actually unleashed a skill! In general, both sides will default to not using skills during a match. If they want to use a skill, they must agree on it beforehand.

Everyone knows that Mo Xiu hasn't awakened his first skill, so this was a deliberate attempt to sabotage Mo Xiu.

People around him started saying that Wang Xuanhu was shameless, and no one noticed that Mo Xiu was looking at his wound with excitement in his eyes.

Zheng Yi was about to go up when Mo Xiu grabbed him and shook his head, signaling him not to.

Zheng Yi said in a low voice, "Mo Xiu, you can tolerate this? I'll cover for you if anything happens."

Mo Xiu pulled Zheng Yi behind him, walked step by step to Wang Xuanhu, and extended a hand, saying, "Shall we continue?"

"ah?!"

The audience gasped in shock: "They're going to continue after all this?"

Wang Xuanhu paused for a moment, then remained silent.

"Oh, right! You can use skills!"

……

"ah?!!!"
