Chapter 7

It is mainly divided into amateur and professional levels.

Each level is divided into one to nine segments.

Level one is the lowest, and level nine is the highest.

Different segments have different requirements for the mastery of martial arts, strength, speed, and so on.

Lu Yuan roughly looked it over and found that even reaching level nine in the amateur category required a punching power of over 300 kilograms.

"In my previous life, this would be considered a top-level heavyweight professional athlete," Lu Yuan thought to himself, now beginning to believe Cheng Peng's description of the Source Martial Arts Gym's coach being able to punch a 100-kilogram punching bag and send it flying seven to eight meters.

If amateur martial artists are this strong, professional martial artists would only be even more powerful.

"It seems that the martial arts level in this world is much higher than in my previous life. Top martial artists might really be like 'supermen.'"

Not only that, but Lu Yuan also discovered that martial artists with official certification from the Martial Arts Association receive significant bonus points when applying to universities.

Some prestigious top universities have strict requirements in this area.

For example, the Air Force University requires at least an amateur level seven martial arts proficiency to apply.

"The Air Force University is the cradle of pilots, astronauts, and even members of the mechanical power armor units are selected from there.

It's normal to have high physical requirements."

Because of the existence of the [Student] career panel, Lu Yuan had indeed considered applying to a prestigious university.

But his goal was just a regular prestigious university, aiming to become a researcher or a business elite in the future.

He had never thought about becoming a pilot, astronaut, or even a mecha warrior.

Now his thoughts had changed somewhat.

"In this world, human exploration of space far surpasses that of my previous life, and the top circles are already working on extraterrestrial immigration.

If there's a chance, it wouldn't be bad to leave the Earth and explore the stars."

"Even the way I allocate attribute points in the future needs to change accordingly."

Lu Yuan stood under the bus stop sign at the entrance of the internet cafe, looking up at the gray-blue sky, thinking to himself.

By the time Lu Yuan got home, it was already 11:20 AM.

His mother, Zheng Qiuling, was still sitting in the store watching TV.

Seeing Lu Yuan return, she immediately smiled and called him over.

"How was the interest class?"

"It was fine, pretty good."

"That's good. You should practice well; your father spent a lot of money on this class for you."

Zheng Qiuling earnestly instructed, "But still, focus on your studies."

"I know, Mom."

Lu Yuan nodded and then asked, "Where's Dad?"

"He went to the hospital to be with your grandfather.

He has already made lunch for you, go upstairs and eat quickly."

"I'll bring it down and eat with you."

Lu Yuan quickly went upstairs, took out the martial arts uniform that was sweaty from his backpack, and threw it into the washing machine.

Then he made several trips to bring the dishes from the table downstairs one by one.

They ate together at a small table that was about half a person's height.

As the saying goes, it's easy to start a business but hard to maintain it.

The small grocery store at home basically relies on his mother to manage, which is quite tiring.

Don't think that sitting in the store and watching TV is easy.

Staying there without leaving, 365 days a year, for more than ten hours a day, try it yourself.

The dishes for lunch were similar to yesterday's, with braised pork replaced by braised fish, and winter melon and pork rib soup replaced by corn and pork rib soup.

Lu Yuan ate very well.

The physical exertion in the morning made him particularly hungry, and he ended up eating three bowls of rice before stopping.

Usually, he would eat at most two bowls, and the second bowl would be only half full.

Today, all three bowls were packed tightly.

While eating, Lu Yuan checked his attribute panel, which was still the same as before.

It's unrealistic to expect a significant improvement in physical condition after just one day of training. Once the training becomes routine, he should see an increase in strength and physical condition.

"It seems the interest class is indeed worth it. You have a good appetite today.

[Remember the domain name of this site]

Eating more is good; eating more helps you grow taller and stronger.

You're only in your second year of high school. You should still grow more next year. If you can grow to 1.8 meters, you'll look even better."

Zheng Qiuling smiled as she watched Lu Yuan eat. After he finished, she held him down and got up to clear the table.

Lu Yuan didn't argue with his mother, knowing she had been sitting all morning and it was good for her to get up and walk around.

"Twenty for the white box, thirty-five for the red box, which one do you want?"

"The white one, and a lighter."

"The lighter is one yuan."

Lu Yuan skillfully served a customer buying cigarettes. His mother hadn't returned yet, so he picked up the remote control on the counter and changed the TV channel.

While massaging his sore and swollen arms, he idly watched TV to pass the time.

He switched to the local channel of their city, Jiaoyan, which was broadcasting the noon news.

"Recently, the old city renovation plan has entered the second phase, and the city's housing and urban-rural development commission has issued an important notice."

"On the afternoon of June 6th, the newly built sports center stadium in our city was officially put into operation. It is understood that more than ten sports events and large-scale activities are planned to be held there in the second half of this year."

"Whoa—"

Lu Yuan accidentally pressed a torn muscle in his arm and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

At this moment, another news item appeared on the TV.

"Recently, multiple cases of missing persons have occurred in the western part of our city. The city's xx bureau has taken this matter very seriously and has established a special task force to handle the case."

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned when he saw this news.

The western part of the city?

Isn't that where they live?

How come he hadn't heard about the missing persons cases?

"To cause the city bureau to take it so seriously and establish a special task force, it must not be a regular missing persons case. Maybe a lot of people are missing, or there are murders involved?"

Lu Yuan speculated to himself.

At this moment, Zheng Qiuling came in from the back door and shooed him upstairs.

"It's hot downstairs, go upstairs.

Take a nap and remember to study. You have school tomorrow."

"I know, Mom."

Lu Yuan nodded and stood up, taking a few steps forward.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned around to seriously ask Zheng Qiuling.

"Mom, has there been a large sum of money that hasn't been collected recently?"

Zheng Qiuling was taken aback, and her expression immediately darkened. "Yes, an old customer of over ten years suddenly disappeared after ordering a large batch of goods, and the payment hasn't been settled. Your father is very worried about this."

Suddenly, she put on a stern face and urged him, "Go, go upstairs.

Why are you asking so many questions? It's not your turn to worry about it."

Lu Yuan pouted but didn't say anything, turned around, and went upstairs.

After lunch, he was alone at home again.

Lu Yuan first took the washed martial arts uniform from the washing machine and hung it on the balcony to dry. Then he went into his bedroom, turned on the air conditioner, and lay down on the bed.

At this moment, he didn't want to move at all, and his arms felt like they weren't his own anymore.

[Absolute Focus] is like this. When you are completely focused on something, you forget the passage of time and even the exhaustion of your body.

He had clearly overtrained.

"Let's see the results of this morning's training."

Lu Yuan concentrated and opened the attribute panel in front of him.

Now he had an additional career, and the career panel had become two, which he could switch between [Student] and [Fighter] at will.

On the [Fighter] panel, it currently showed—

[Fighter lv1 (13/100)]

[Basic Career Skills: Beginner Body Training lv1 (22/100)

Basic Boxing lv1 (53/100)]

Overtraining has its benefits.

In just the morning, the experience points for the basic boxing technique that Lu Yuan had just grasped had already exceeded half.

It wouldn't be long before it leveled up.
