"I go……"

Biting pain came in waves.

Albert Carter was so painful that he was sweating profusely. He immediately stopped running his mind and quickly retracted his right palm.

Fortunately, this time I didn't follow in the footsteps of my previous life.

In an instant, the surging Spiritual Energy in the body dissipated like a tide, but there was still a pain in the Dantian and the bone meridians throughout the body.

He staggered back to the bed, breathed evenly, and breathed out calmly.

Thinking of the scene just now, I still feel scared.

"...Practice can only be done step by step. Although the "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" successfully aroused Spiritual Energy, with my current scumbag body, there is no way I can withstand and control such a huge amount of Spiritual Energy. The result of forced exercise is Unable to hold on, he eventually exploded and died."

After thinking for a moment, he added: "The plan for now is to first choose a physical training method that strengthens the body and guides Spiritual Energy energy, and solidifies the foundation of the body step by step, and then consider practicing more advanced exercises."

Thinking of this, Albert Carter carefully took stock of the China martial arts body-training techniques in his mind, and practiced them one by one according to the techniques and moves.

After a while, he slowly stopped the exercise and said in deep thought: "These exercises can induce Spiritual Energy and temper the physique, but from the effect point of view, the 'Ba Duan Jin' and the ' Five Animals Play' are obviously much stronger."

"'Ba Duan Jin' focuses on guiding the breath, while ' Five Animals Play' focuses on strengthening the body. At present, ' Five Animals Play' may be more suitable for me."

When he was in a martial arts school in his previous life, Albert Carter also practiced the "Five Animals Play" for a period of time, but due to the depletion of the earth's Spiritual Energy, the practice had little effect.

He was also vaguely looking forward to what unexpected changes "Five Animals Play" could bring to his body in this world.

With this thought, Albert Carter no longer hesitated.

He jumped out of bed and started practicing according to the "Five Animals Play" formula in his mind.

Soon, his body bent into a strange posture, sometimes lying on the ground, sometimes raising his head and stretching his neck, looking like a roaring tiger in the forest.

At the same time, streams of Spiritual Energy as thin as gossamer gathered from all around, pouring into all the bones in his body, constantly tempering the bones of his body, and boosting his spirit.

After Albert Carter completed a set of "Tiger Opera", his body shape suddenly changed and transformed into a "deer shape". The Spiritual Energy in his body moved faster and faster, and flowed from "bones" to "meridians".

Next, Albert Carter practiced the "Bear Opera", "Ape Opera" and "Bird Opera" according to the method.

With the changes in the movements of "Five Animals Play", a steady stream of Spiritual Energy surged from all directions, like a torrential river, constantly refining his thin body.

Unknowingly, Albert Carter's skin, flesh, bones, meridians, and acupuncture points were all being repaired bit by bit. The pain caused by being beaten by Bane Warner and others and blindly using the "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" earlier, It is also gradually dissolving.

When the sun outside the window completely set, Albert Carter finally finished practicing the last move of "Five Animals Play".

For a moment, he only felt that all functions of his body had been greatly improved compared to before. In addition to being extremely physically strong, he was also very full of energy. It was simply more effective than taking the "Shiquan Dabu Pill".

"After the Spiritual Energy is revived, the effect of the ' Five Animals Play' has been greatly enhanced. It can not only induce and absorb the Spiritual Energy, but also temper the body. If I continue to practice like this, my frail body will definitely be transformed!"

Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with joy, and he couldn't help but be excited.

At this time, he could clearly feel that the power he possessed in his body was no longer what it used to be. It far exceeded that of ordinary people who had not practiced before, and had entered a new threshold.

This is after playing "Five Animals Play" only once. If you play it a few more times...

As soon as he thought about it, Albert Carter couldn't sit still anymore and played Five Animals Play several times again.

Under the tempering of wave after wave of Spiritual Energy, his weak body was quickly repaired and strengthened.

It wasn't until late at night that Chen Yuan stopped practicing. His chest relaxed, he exhaled a long breath, and said with a smile: "After playing ' Five Animals Play' all night, my body finally returned to the level of an ordinary person. As long as I keep practicing hard, even in a short period of time, It’s not up to the level of practicing advanced martial arts, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to cope with the ‘Wuke’ city quality inspection in seven days.”

Thinking of the "municipal quality inspection" and then thinking of the "national college entrance examination" a month later, Albert Carter couldn't help but feel excited.

Looking out the window at the darkening night, with a determined look: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to get into college, stand out as soon as possible, and gain a foothold in society, so that you will no longer have to suffer because of me."



Since the Municipal No. 3 Middle School gave senior high school students a seven-day holiday to prepare for the "Martial Arts" city quality inspection, Albert Carter spent almost the next seven days practicing.

In his previous life, he was obsessed with China arts and spent all his time, money and effort, and even lost his life.

Now that he had finally waited for the opportunity to practice, and his innate conditions were at the lowest level, he did not dare to slack off at all, refused to waste any time, and the effort and sweat he put in was ten times and a hundred times better than ordinary people.

I get up early every day before dawn, and practice " Five Animals Play " when the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth is at its strongest. After practice, I go out for a run around Jiangbin Road. In the afternoon, I go out to climb a nearby mountain. When I come back in the evening, I review for the college entrance examination at my desk. "Liberal Arts" test questions, by the way, to consolidate the cultivation knowledge introduced in the book.

In modern society, warriors around the world are divided into eight levels according to their strength: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Each level is divided into three sub-levels, namely "entry, elite, and top". stage.

Albert Carter 's rival, Yvonne Yalden , the eldest son of the " Yalden family ", is a top G-level warrior, while most of the senior high school candidates in the same year are hovering around the entry level of G-level.

The original person is a scumbag in martial arts. Not to mention a G-level warrior, even ordinary people may not be able to defeat him.

Now Albert Carter has traveled through time and practiced "Five Animals Play" for seven days without sleep or food. Although his strength has not reached G level, it is only one step away. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through to G level.

In addition, after these seven days, his body's various functions have been significantly improved, and the Spiritual Energy he has attracted has also increased significantly.

Albert Carter is confident that if he encounters Bane Warner and his group again now, even if they cannot easily defeat them, self-protection will not be a problem.



Seven days passed by in a flash, and the "Wuke City Quality Inspection" arrived as scheduled.

Albert Carter got up early as usual and played "Five Animals Play" seriously in front of the bed. He then went into the bathroom to wash up, then changed into a clean school uniform, left the rental house, and walked towards the campus.

"Coming, brother."

At the school gate, a middle-aged aunt serving pancakes and fruits saw Albert Carter and greeted her warmly.

Only then did Albert Carter remember that he often bought breakfast at this pancake stall, lowered his head, smiled, and walked forward.

"Good morning, Auntie Hedy." Chen Yuan came to the stall and said with a smile.

"Today's 'Martial Arts' test for you senior high school students, you can't do it if you don't leave early."Auntie Hedy held a small shovel that Albert Carter often saw in his previous life, skillfully flipping the pancakes in the pan, and said with a grin: "Let's do the same thing today. Auntie will give you an egg. I won't charge you more."

Albert Carter felt faintly warm in his heart and said quickly: "Thank you, aunt."

"Thank you for nothing. Eat well and prepare for the test. Auntie believes in you. You will definitely be able to do it!"

Auntie Hedy leaned down, closed the "Spiritual Energy stove" under the operating table, put the fragrant pancake fruit into a bag, and handed it to Albert Carter.

Chen Yuan paid the money, reached out to take the pancakes and fruit, said goodbye to his aunt, and walked towards the school gate.

Before he had even taken two steps, he saw two people walking towards him.

One is fat and the other is thin, and both are wearing school uniforms.

The fat man on the left is named Xavier Lawson, nicknamed "Puffy", and the thin man on the right is named Huo Yuan, nicknamed "Mr.Huber".

Both of them were friends of Albert Carter who grew up playing in the "ghetto".

Huo Yuan's father got a chance and made a lot of money, and moved his family to Linshui City, but Xavier Lawson's parents still lived in the slums.

However, the relationship between the three people has not changed at all because of the difference in status. They are still strong.

"Albert Carter!"Xavier Lawson and Huo Yuan quickened their pace and came closer.

Meeting his two childhood friends at the school gate, Albert Carter was in a good mood and walked up to them with a smile: "Good morning."

The two of them looked Albert Carter up and down, and Xavier Lawson lowered his voice and said, "Are you okay? I heard that boy Yvonne Yalden was jealous that your liberal arts scores were higher than his, and ruined his plan to become the top scholar in civil and military affairs. Find someone to mess with you..."

Albert Carter looked at him, shrugged and said, "Do you think something's wrong with me?"

Then he said: "Besides, I got the first place in the liberal arts exam based on my ability. I didn't cheat and I didn't target him. I was open-minded. Why should I be afraid of him?"

Huo Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, there is no need to be afraid of him. If he comes to your door, we three brothers will carry it out together. In broad daylight, I don't believe he really dares to do anything to you."

Xavier Lawson also said angrily: "Humph, he's just a pretty boy. Others are afraid of him, but I, Xavier Lawson, am not afraid. If we really want to fight, I still can't tell who will lose and who will win!"

Albert Carter and Huo Yuan looked at each other, knowing that the fat man was talking nonsense again, so they smiled at each other and did not answer.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a harsh sneer coming from behind: "Fat Liu, if Mr. Yun hears what you just said, all your teeth will be beaten."

Xavier Lawson turned his head and looked around, and saw seven or eight arrogant high school seniors standing crookedly not far behind. The one at the head was Albert Carter's classmate Mitchell Gadsden, who said angrily: "Mitchell Gadsden... If you have the guts, let’s have a fight now, so don’t compete like that!”

Mitchell Gadsden lifted his long hair from his forehead and walked up to the three of them with a group of students. He squinted at Xavier Lawson and said, "A weakling who is ranked more than 100 on the 'Wu Bang' list is worthy of challenging me? Get out of here!"

"Fuck you, uncle...!"

Xavier Lawson was furious and was about to punch him when suddenly someone stopped him behind him and said in a cold voice: "Am I worthy of challenging you?"

Mitchell Gadsden looked sideways and saw that the person coming was Huo Yuan. His expression changed and he said with a strange smile: "Mr.Huber is certainly worthy. There is a nouveau riche dad who came out of the slums and got in by taking drugs." The top three on the martial arts list is more than enough to challenge me, the seventh on the martial arts list who is poor and only has talent."

"you……"

When Huo Yuan heard what he said, his face turned livid with anger.

At this moment, Albert Carter stepped forward, looked directly at Mitchell Gadsden, and said calmly: "If you have the guts, you should try to get into the top three on the martial arts list. What's the point of just talking around here?"
