3: talent

“Teacher, maybe I have extraordinary talent and absorb Body Tempering Fluid well.”

Lin Chen touched his head and said with a smile, looking at the shocked coach.

Yang Tianba only recovered after a long while.

Someone using Body Tempering Fluid for the first time can increase their strength by at most 50KG, and the effect will become weaker and weaker afterward.

Until there is no effect… Lin Chen’s strength test yesterday was only 350KG, and today his strength is directly 800KG!

It more than doubled.

Could it be… awakening?

Yang Tianba was excited.

Blue Star Human Federation.

Every year, there are fewer than a hundred people who awaken their innate abilities.

It sounds like a lot.

But ever since the Blue Star had a supreme expert in charge.

In these few hundred years of humanity.

The population has explosively grown from 2 billion in the dark ages to 10 billion!

The proportion of people with innate talent appearing each year is really too low.

Each of these people possesses some abnormal abilities!

Such as double combat power in a short time, invisibility, various powerful martial bodies, etc… Therefore.

Every talented person.

Will be specially cultivated by the Federation.

“Lin Chen, have you awakened an innate ability?”

Yang Tianba asked with hopeful eyes.

Talent?

Lin Chen also knew about it.

He often saw it online before.

The most famous is the leader of the younger generation in the Human Federation over the past century — Wang Feiyu.

He possesses an Innate Dao Body and has monstrous comprehension!

After thinking for a moment.

Lin Chen still felt that he should reveal some talent.

Always hiding one's abilities is not good.

After all, martial arts resources must be earned through talent.

“Teacher, I awakened my talent yesterday after taking the Body Tempering Fluid. My talent allows me to amplify the effect of absorbed energy substances, and I can absorb 90%!”

Lin Chen didn't say 100%, as that would be too shocking.

“90%!”

Whoosh~

Yang Tianba took a deep breath.

It's already good if an ordinary person can absorb half of a potion.

Most of it is lost and wasted.

Such a high absorption rate, and it can even be amplified!

No wonder the improvement was so fast.

Yang Tianba looked at this student, who repeatedly brought him surprises, with a slight smile.

“You'll soon be promoted to the Martial Artist realm. Martial Artists begin to forge their bones.”

“I have a Bone Forging Powder here; take it and use it. Perform well in the Martial Arts Exam.”

“Once you break through to the mid-stage Martial Artist, I'll reward you with a martial skill.”

Lin Chen's heart was stirred as he looked at the Bone Forging Powder.

A single serving of Bone Forging Powder costs a full 2 million federal currency on the market!

His teacher gave it to him just like that.

“Take it. If you can get into a Martial Arts University, I will also receive rewards from the school.”

“Don't slack off during this time. Train hard, and if you have any questions, you can come and ask me.”

“Cherish your innate ability. Talented individuals have a chance to get into the two famous schools!”

Yang Tianba smiled and patted Lin Chen's shoulder.

He was extremely excited at this moment.

He is currently at the Martial Artist realm.

The resources needed to break through to the next realm are too vast.

And for discovering a genius like Lin Chen.

The school would reward him with some martial arts resources.

Those resources far exceeded what he gave Lin Chen… Lin Chen was not pretentious and accepted the Bone Forging Powder.

“Teacher, don't worry, I will continue to work hard!”

Looking at the Bone Forging Powder in his hand, Lin Chen was also very excited.

He urgently needed to improve his strength now.

This kindness.

He would slowly repay it in the future~

As for the two famous schools Yang Tianba mentioned.

Those were not schools that could be entered just with money.

The students there were all top-tier geniuses.

Minimum requirements for famous schools:

Reach the Martial Artist stage, and master any cultivation technique!

And this was only the minimum requirement.

Even after meeting the minimum requirement, one still had to participate in the internal assessment of the famous school!

It is said that the internal assessment requires facing Other World beasts directly.

There is a certain death rate!

The resources of famous schools are terrifying.

As long as one's talent is strong, all martial arts cultivation resources can be obtained.

One can even learn cultivation techniques above the Earth-tier.

The two famous schools control mysterious cultivation secret realms in the Other World.

That is the place everyone yearns for~

At this moment, Yang Tianba seemed to remember something.

He left in a hurry.

Lin Chen looked at the Bone Forging Powder.

He thought for a moment.

And directly swallowed it!

If anyone saw this scene, they would surely be dumbfounded~

[Cultivation Technique] Basic Fist Technique Minor Accomplishment (25/100)

[energy points] 45

Lin Chen looked at the panel.

So, one serving of Bone Forging Powder was only 45 energy points.

This was 2 million federal currency… He wasn't in a hurry with his current realm.

His cultivation technique realm had not yet reached the minimum requirement for a Martial Arts University.

Cultivation technique upgrade!

The panel flashed.

[Cultivation Technique] Basic Fist Technique Great Accomplishment (70/100)

[energy points] 0

A memory followed—

Great Accomplishment of the cultivation technique.

No longer restricted by fixed routines.

It can be combined with actual combat for improvisation, and every move can unleash the full power of the body!

He was only 5 progress points away from the Microscopic Realm.

This system is truly heaven-defying!

For ordinary people with average comprehension, it would take at least 2 to 3 years of diligent study to reach Minor Accomplishment in a cultivation technique.

Ding!

Lin Chen opened his smart communicator.

He saw the notification from Yang Tianba in the class group:

“All third-year high school students are to return to school this afternoon for an assembly.”

“There will be a mock Martial Arts Exam. The top five in the grade will each be rewarded with three servings of Body Tempering Fluid.”

Upon seeing this message.

The class group immediately exploded.

“Three servings, oh my god, that's 1.8 million federal currency!”

“My monthly living expenses are only 1000 federal currency.”

“Just look at the top five, that's all.”

“Yeah, the top five can only be the children of rich families.”

“Not necessarily. I heard that Zhang Xiang from Class 3 received investment from the Lightning Martial Arts Hall and has already reached the late stage of Martial Apprentice, and his cultivation technique has reached Minor Accomplishment.”

Hiss—

“Minor Accomplishment in a cultivation technique, that's too terrifying…”

There are martial arts halls in this world.

Martial arts halls exist independently of the Human Federation government.

These martial officials would fund martial arts geniuses with good aptitude and sign contracts with them.

After they graduate from university, they would serve the martial arts hall.

The top three martial arts halls in the world all have supreme experts in charge.

They are a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

Lin Chen looked at the group messages, his heart shaken.

It seems he couldn't underestimate the geniuses of this world.

This made Lin Chen even more vigilant.

Even with the system, he had to be constantly alert.

Lest he capsize in a ditch one day~

There were still two hours until the afternoon's mock test.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry.

He began to practice his fist technique alone.

Two hours later… Lin Chen arrived at the testing grounds.

He found that many students had already arrived.

“Lin Chen, you're here.”

Zhang Li spotted Lin Chen at a glance.

She walked over to greet him.

The chubby Li Tiexiong also walked over, smiling mischievously.

“Lin Chen, are you tempted? These are three servings of Body Tempering Fluid.”

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

“I'm very interested in these three servings of Body Tempering Fluid!”

“Tsk, stop bragging. Don't I know your true capabilities?”

Li Tiexiong just thought Lin Chen was joking~

Just then, a discordant voice sounded from the side—

“Tsk tsk, he really thinks he's something. I'm dying of laughter.”

Lin Chen frowned slightly and turned to look.

He saw a tall young man, dressed in designer clothes, staring at Lin Chen, surrounded by a group of people.

His eyes were playful, full of provocation.

This person was Qin Yu.

The big boss of the class, with a very superior family background.

No one dared to provoke him.

Qin Yu usually had bodyguards accompanying him when he went out.

Because his father was a strong expert beyond the Martial Artist realm!

He is currently serving as a vice-captain in an Other World explorer team.

Qin Yu also received the best resource cultivation from a young age!

“He's just relying on having a dad; what's he showing off for?”

Li Tiexiong muttered softly.

“What the hell did you say?”

Qin Yu suddenly walked over with ill intentions.

He grabbed the chubby boy's nape.

And slapped him on the back of the head, one slap after another.

Qin Yu had already reached the late stage of Martial Apprentice in last month's test.

Li Tiexiong, with his neck held down, couldn't break free no matter how much he struggled.

“You, what do you want to do?!”

Li Tiexiong shouted loudly.

“Let him go.”

Lin Chen's face darkened.

Upon reflection.

The body he transmigrated into had also been beaten by Qin Yu!

The reason was simply that Qin Yu found him displeasing.

And he was beaten to the point of internal bleeding!

“What are you? You've grown some guts, haven't you?”

Qin Yu became fierce.

He made a motion to kick Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The current him was no longer someone to be easily manipulated.

“Enough, Qin Yu!”

The class teacher, Yang Tianba, suddenly shouted.

Seeing this, Qin Yu had no choice but to stop, glaring at Lin Chen.

He still had to give face to the class teacher.

Lin Chen was expressionless, and after a brief recollection, he understood.

The previous owner of this body had suffered internal bleeding from being beaten by Qin Yu.

Then, he went home and told his parents that he was injured and needed a hospital check-up.

But that couple didn't care at all, thinking Lin Chen was faking illness to ask for money.

The previous owner was even severely beaten by Lin Jianguo!

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, what a tragic fate… “Since I've been reborn into your body in this life.”

“Then your karma will be resolved by me.”

Lin Chen also felt a strong resonance.

In his previous life, he was also at the lowest rung of society, working overtime day and night.

A slight mistake would lead to a scolding from his boss.

In the end, he only earned a meager income of three to four thousand yuan each month.

His family also looked down on him for being unsuccessful, not even having a girlfriend… “In this life, let me take your body and together, we will reach the peak of martial arts!”

Lin Chen's heart swelled with heroic spirit.

However, things would be very troublesome next.

Qin Yu was arrogant and vengeful, and he would definitely cause trouble for him!

Currently, he wasn't afraid of Qin Yu, but he was afraid of the bodyguards behind him!

He heard they were at least mid-stage Martial Artists.

Looking at the panel, Lin Chen felt a sense of urgency.

He must quickly obtain energy points.

He also had to get the rewards from this test!
