Chapter 8

Lu Yuan recalled the content of the morning training in his mind.

He felt that he had mastered the basic boxing techniques taught by Lin Zhiqin, remembering them clearly and being able to perform each move.

However, there would definitely be some deviation in the standardization of the movements.

"Once I learn all the basic leg techniques and basic footwork, and upgrade them all to level 3, I might unlock the core skills of the profession!"

As a [Student] profession, the core skill [Absolute Focus] was unlocked when Lu Yuan upgraded all eight major subjects to level 3.

After unlocking the skill [Absolute Focus], Lu Yuan truly distinguished himself from ordinary students.

His learning efficiency underwent a qualitative transformation, and he felt like he had a cheat in his studies.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was very excited about what kind of surprise the core skill of the [Fighter] profession would bring him.

"The two classes of the fighting class are scheduled for the weekend. If I want to learn basic leg techniques and basic footwork, I'll have to wait another week.

But I can ask Cheng Peng to teach me first."

Lu Yuan had already decided to use Cheng Peng as a tool in his mind.

After a morning of intense exercise and a large lunch, Lu Yuan soon felt drowsy lying on the bed.

He didn't know how long he had slept when a series of phone notifications woke him up.

Lu Yuan was still half-asleep when he reached for his phone, but the soreness in his arm made him fully awake.

"Endure it. By tomorrow, the torn muscles will heal, and it won't hurt so much!"

Lu Yuan consoled himself with a grimace.

He struggled to grab his phone and saw several message notifications.

Opening the chat app, he found that one of the messages was a friend request from someone.

"I am Liu Yue, applying to add you as a friend."

It was the round-faced girl with glasses from the fighting class.

Lu Yuan added her without hesitation.

Then he checked the remaining messages and found that they were all from his sister, Lu Jing.

Old Sister: "Bro! Check out the scenery of Xisu! The desert scenery you've never experienced!"

Below were several photos.

Desert, Gobi, poplar trees, and a few photos of a girl in a hat riding a camel, smiling brightly.

The girl on the camel was naturally Lu Jing herself.

Lu Yuan quickly looked through the photos and typed: "Envious, public-funded travel, and still getting paid."

The message was sent, and a reply came back in a few seconds.

"! You don't know how harsh the conditions are here!

The excavation site is deep in the Xisu Desert, and I can only live in a tent now.

I can only take a shower once a week, and I dare not speak outside, as a mouthful of sand will be swallowed!"

"Ha ha!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and sent a few sneaky laughing emojis.

Then he thought for a moment and asked, "Sis, what did you dig up this time?"

Lu Jing replied: "A large temple site from the Baishan era, which is very valuable for studying the religious history of the Baishan era.

It's a significant discovery.

Wait, little brother, you'll see me on the news soon. (Proud)"

"Ha, you, a mere assistant in the archaeological team, want to be on TV?

Even if something is dug up, it has nothing to do with you."

"(Scorn) (Scorn) (Scorn)!"

Lu Yuan chatted with Lu Jing for a while and learned that her participation in the archaeological work would take a long time, possibly lasting half a year or even a year.

It was uncertain when she would have the chance to come back, at least not in the short term.

After ending the chat, Lu Yuan opened his computer and searched for information about the Baishan temple online.

The Baishan era dates back over three thousand years.

It was an extremely chaotic and dark age, with numerous religions.

Many of the doctrines of these sects were extremely evil, and they enjoyed human sacrifices, which were very bloody.

Lu Yuan only read a little and then closed the webpage.

"I wonder what kind of temple the archaeological team dug up.

If they dig up a pile of bones, Lu Jing might be scared to tears with her courage."

Lu Yuan thought amusingly.

As for the recent issue at home, Lu Yuan didn't tell Lu Jing.

He guessed that his parents hadn't mentioned it to her either.

After all, she was over three thousand kilometers away in the depths of the desert, and even if she knew, she couldn't help at all, only adding to her worry.

Why say more?

"Study hard, practice martial arts, this is the biggest thing I can do to help my parents now."

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Putting down his phone, he sat at his desk.

Although his arms were temporarily sore and he couldn't write, he had almost finished his homework.

In the [Absolute Focus] state, he read books, previewed new lessons, and reviewed and consolidated his knowledge.

By the end of the afternoon, the experience points of his eight major subjects had all increased, and the experience points of the [Student] profession had also increased by several dozen points, getting closer to level 4.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Qiuling hurriedly came up to call Lu Yuan to help with the store, while she went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In the meantime, Lu Xinghua came back from the hospital, packed some food, and left again in a hurry, and Lu Yuan didn't even get to talk to him much.

But he did get some good news.

Grandpa's brain surgery could be scheduled for the next week.

"My arms can't be exercised for now, but my waist, abdomen, and legs are not affected."

After dinner, Lu Yuan laid out a mat in the living room, lay down on it, and began strength training for parts other than his arms.

Of course, he did this in the [Absolute Focus] state.

[You focused on professional training for ten minutes, professional experience +1]

[Your skill Basic Body Training has improved, experience +2]

[Your skill Basic Body Training has improved, experience +4]

The information on the panel kept popping up.

The biggest advantage of the professional panel was that it could immediately feedback Lu Yuan's efforts in the form of experience points.

The hard work turned into motivation, making Lu Yuan more enthusiastic about his rigorous training.

Not to mention, exercising the body is something that can easily become addictive.

"In my past life, I didn't understand why people got addicted to fitness.

Now I understand."

"Breath, breath,"

Lu Yuan panted, finishing another set of training, and muttered to himself, "This process of breaking through one's own limits again and again is indeed easy to give a sense of self-achievement."

Lu Yuan's original goal was to do two sets of each training move.

After finishing two sets and feeling he still had energy, he did two more sets.

After two more sets, he did two more sets

In the end, he did a total of eight sets of the entire set of movements!

Until he squeezed out the last bit of energy from his body, lying on the living room floor, unable to move even a finger

He finally stopped.

"Will I be too sore to get up tomorrow?"

The mat under him was soaked with sweat, and Lu Yuan looked up at the white ceiling of the living room, thinking to himself.

When the professional panel information slowly appeared on the ceiling, and he saw the experience points skyrocket

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Can't get up, so be it."

"The feeling of getting stronger is really great."
