chapter 2 Obsessed?

"Right now, we need to first understand the world we are in, and then find a place where no one is around to study the weird changes in the body."

Albert Carter walked on the road and first integrated the remaining memory fragments.

Thanks to his good foundation in liberal arts, he soon had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the world.

This is the earth in the twenty-sixth century, but compared with the world Albert Carter lived in his previous life, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

At the end of the twenty-first century, a "great change" swept across the entire earth. All continents were invaded by aliens and monsters were rampant. During the great change, Spiritual Energy gradually recovered, and the plates began to fission and shift.

Humanity fought desperately, and although some of the invaders were eliminated, they also paid an extremely heavy price. With the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, they could only choose to fully retreat. At the same time, large areas of territory were occupied by alien races and monsters.

At the beginning of the 22nd century, the United Nations Security Council passed a bill calling on all countries to transform existing cities into "Base City" with strong defenses to resist monster attacks that may occur at any time and ensure the continuation of human civilization.

River City , where Albert Carter is located, is a Base City under the rule of China, one of the five major powers in the world.

With the large-scale recovery of Spiritual Energy, a large number of "awakened ones" have emerged on the earth.

Spiritual Energy been widely used, human science and technology has advanced rapidly, Spiritual Energy equipment has begun to appear, and the emerging "New Martial Arts" has replaced the declining "Ancient Martial Arts". The social form and division of labor in various countries have also undergone tremendous changes.

In China, the "college entrance examination system" that Albert Carter was so familiar with in his previous life has also undergone fundamental changes.

Compared with 500 years ago, China's college entrance examination system has completely changed. It does not only test cultural subjects, but is divided into two parts: "liberal arts" and "martial arts".

The assessment scope of the liberal arts subjects mainly covers martial arts theory, history, geography, alchemy, Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Energy application, etc., while the martial arts subjects test students' Bloodline Talent, Spiritual Energy Manipulation and Combat Capability.

In this world where the world is filled with mighty Spiritual Energy and everyone can practice martial arts, practicing to a higher level of martial arts means obtaining more resources, a higher social status, and broader development prospects.

Compared with martial arts, liberal arts majors such as scientific research, pharmacy, Spiritual Energy application, etc. can also cultivate some "specialists", but the training difficulty is much higher than that of "martial arts".

Therefore, for hundreds of years, practicing martial arts has been a big trend among college entrance examination candidates and even the entire society.

For high school students in China, the college entrance examination is undoubtedly the most important opportunity for them to become warriors and change their destiny.

The dispute between Albert Carter and Yvonne Yalden"Yun Shao" happened on the eve of the college entrance examination, during the last "liberal arts" market quality test.

In order to encourage students to prepare seriously for the exam, River City Municipal No. 3 Middle School specially set up a grand prize for the "Number One Scholar in Civil and Military Affairs" for this year's municipal quality inspection test.

He took out three bottles of "Body Tempering Fluid" that were valuable but not commercially available, and used them to reward the outstanding students who took first place in the school in both Chinese and martial arts in the city's quality inspection.

For this award, Yvonne Yalden, the young leader of Linjiang's " Yalden family ", is determined to win.

Relying on his excellent training talent and the support of his family's resources, Yvonne Yalden is already a top G-class martial artist at a young age, and his martial arts scores have always topped the "Martial Arts Ranking" of the Municipal No. 3 Middle School, far exceeding those in the school. other students.

But in liberal arts, he is the "second child". The person ahead of him happens to be the "martial arts waste"Albert Carter who is first in liberal arts and last in martial arts.

In order to compete for the "Body Tempering Fluid", before the municipal quality inspection liberal arts test began, Yvonne Yalden sent someone to bribe Albert Carter, who came from a poor family, with a large amount of money to let him fail in the test and give up the first place in liberal arts to himself.

Unexpectedly, Albert Carter turned out to be a stubborn person who couldn't beat the truth. Not only did he sternly refuse Yvonne Yalden's bribe, he also won the first place in the just-concluded liberal arts test, completely ruining Yvonne Yalden's plan.

Yvonne Yalden was jealous that Albert Carter was better than him in martial arts, and he held a grudge because he couldn't get the "Body Tempering Fluid". He secretly ordered his subordinates Wang Kui and three others to destroy Albert Carter hands so that he would not be able to participate in the martial arts test seven days later.

Unexpectedly, another "Albert Carter " soul came through, and by some mistake, he used the " Eight Extremes Fist " in the " Ancient Martial Arts " to defeat Bane Warner.

Albert Carter was very excited when he thought that he could practice again.

In his previous life on Earth, he was extremely enthusiastic about ancient martial arts and Chinese martial arts.

But at that time, the Spiritual Energy on the earth had long been exhausted. Although Albert Carter had collected a large number of martial arts books and materials, and had memorized the skills and moves recorded on them, the moves he made were still intangible and without power. In the end, he changed It was because of careless practice that even his life was ruined.

Now that he has entered a world where all people can practice cultivation, it has undoubtedly opened up a new direction for his path as a "martial arts idiot".

"It doesn't matter if you have little talent. As long as you practice harder, you may not be able to get ahead."Albert Carter eyes were heavy: "What we have to do now is to find out a cultivation path of our own, first to protect ourselves, and then to seek development."

…

After leaving the alley and walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Yuan came to an old five-story building near the campus.

Standing downstairs and looking up, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect to see such an old-fashioned house on earth five centuries later. It's quite an eye-opener."

This building is no different from the units in the old communities that Albert Carter saw in his previous life.

The cement-brick frame structure, the exterior walls covered with gray ceramic tiles, and the rusty iron gate all reflect the long history of this building.

The only difference from the 21st century is that the door actually has an "identity recognition" function. When Albert Carter stood outside the door, the door suddenly lit up with a green light, and then opened automatically with a "click" sound. .

The corridor was dark and dirty, and a pungent musty smell kept emanating from inside.

Albert Carter frowned and sighed, "If you go to college and become a warrior, you don't have to live in this antique house. You can also bring your parents from the 'slums' on the outskirts of the city to live in the city as soon as possible. You don’t have to worry every day and face the danger of being attacked by monsters at any time.”

He walked into the corridor and walked up the stairs in the dark.

Not long after, Chen Yuan came to door 506 on the fifth floor, took out a copper key that was also considered an antique from his trouser pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it to the right.

With a "click", the door opened.

In front of him is a small room of more than ten square meters.

Although the furnishings in the house are simple, they are neatly cleaned.

A beech wood bed was placed in the corner on the right side of the room. The sheets were clean and the bedding was neatly folded.

On the left side of the beech bed is an old dark brown desk, with a bookshelf above it, which displays a large number of high school liberal arts textbooks and some extracurricular books on pharmacy, Spiritual Energy, and Spiritual Energy application. There are stickers on the spines of the books. The borrowing tab of "School Library".

An old wardrobe is placed in the corner on the left. The surface is mottled and it looks like it has been there for many years.

Apart from these three items, there are no other decent furnishings in the rented house. At first glance, there is only a small bathroom separated by a curtain and some scattered daily necessities.

"No matter what, let's figure out the mystery of the strange changes in the body first."

Albert Carter closed the door, walked into the rental house, and carefully recalled the battle he had just had with Bane Warner.

"According to the memory of the original body, this body is naturally weak and should not be able to induce too much Spiritual Energy. However, when I used the ' Eight Extremes Fist' move earlier, the spiritual Spiritual Energy of the world that I induced obviously exceeded the physical limit."

He clearly remembered that after the Spiritual Energy entered his body, it only circulated in the meridians of his body for one week, and his strength increased several times in an instant. After withdrawing, it dissipated into thin air and disappeared without a trace. It was really mysterious.

"Punch again and see."

In order to ensure that his judgment was correct, Albert Carter used the "Eight Extremes Fist" move again in the small room.

With a "whoop" punch, he immediately felt a surge of heat rushing into his Dantian.

Just like last time, this mysterious heat circulated in his body for a while, and instantly melted into his fist moves. At the same time, the force in the fist moves also increased significantly.

Albert Carter withdrew his fist, a light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered:

"It seems that the induction and release of Spiritual Energy are indeed closely related to the operation of ' Eight Extremes Fist'. My previous speculation is absolutely true."

After a second thought, he added: "The street stall products that cost tens of yuan a book are so good. If I bought "Yijing Tendon", "Nine Yin Manual", "Nine Yang Divine Art", "Six Meridian Divine Sword" and ""Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" also has this miraculous effect. After practicing it, wouldn't it be like six's flying?"

Thinking of this, Albert Carter couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.

He immediately decided to "test" one of the many China arts he had practiced in his previous life.

"Try Wing Chun Fist first."

After making up his mind, Chen Yuan came to the wall and stood facing the wall. He recalled the moves and techniques of "Wing Chun Fist" in his mind and muttered words.

"When you see the hand, you will chase the shape. If you are in the air, you will advance. If you face the shape, you will defeat the enemy. If you have the hand, you will stay. If you don't have the hand, you will hit..."

While walking and turning, the boxing techniques are constantly changing at the same time.

Not long after, the Spiritual Energy around him stirred faintly, condensed into streams of Spiritual Energy, and poured into his body.

After a while, he exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and punched forward with a "whoosh". There was only a muffled "boom" sound, and he instantly punched a shallow hole in the wall.

"It's done!"

Looking at the plaster falling from the wall, Chen Yuanxi couldn't help but said, "Try other techniques!"

Albert Carter adjusted his breath and tried some of the moves of "Bagua Palm", "Tungbei Fist", "Tan Leg" and "Xingyi Fist" in the rented house. Without exception, they all successfully aroused the Spiritual Energy.

"Haha, China martial arts are indeed miraculous in inducing Spiritual Energy."

"It's time to show off your real skills, let's start "The Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms"!"

After saying that, he walked to the wall, calmed down, and silently recited the martial arts techniques of "The Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms".

"Things that are extreme must be reversed, and arrogance must be regretted. With the fierceness of pure Yang, wait for the weak point of the strong crossbow..."

But seeing his eyes gleam, his left leg suddenly bent, his right arm folded inward, his right palm drew an arc in mid-air, and he executed the "Exalted Dragon with Regret" move against the wall.

In an instant, he felt the Spiritual Energy from all directions stir wildly, like a roaring river, rushing towards his body.

Just as a hint of joy appeared on Albert Carter face, his smile froze.

This Spiritual Energy is countless times stronger than the Spiritual Energy induced by " Eight Extremes Fist" and "Wing Chun Fist ".

Suddenly, I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my Dantian, just like a needle burning. The blood vessels all over my body were also congested and expanded in an instant, as if they were about to burst.

"Mmp...can't be so bad, am I going to go crazy again?"
