Chapter 6

After the midterm exams, there was a five-day break.

During these five days, Qin Haohan experienced a period that felt like a devil's torture.

Every day was packed with activities: running in the morning, having lunch, running in the afternoon, and changing the pace of running—long-distance, short-distance, and even running backward.

This made the other runners look at him as if he were a lunatic.

In the evening, he would have dinner, study cultural subjects, practice boxing, and then have a late-night snack.

In the middle of the night, he would be tormented by illusions and electric currents, often preventing him from getting a good night's sleep.

However, the exams would use medication to regulate his state, allowing him to quickly enter a deep sleep when it was truly time to rest.

He ate, slept, and trained intensely, without a single second being wasted.

At least, that's how Qin Haohan felt, even though the exams said he still had potential to be tapped.

The benefit of this intense regimen was a significant improvement in Qin Haohan's overall physical condition.

Although the improvement in the following days was not as much as on the first day, it was still remarkable. After five days, all of Qin Haohan's data had skyrocketed.

His cultural subject simulation test score reached 90.

His lung capacity increased from 23 to 63!

His 100-meter sprint time improved from 35 to 68!

His punching power increased from 27 to 65!

And his mental strength was even more astonishing, rising from 70 to 94!

The reason for such a significant improvement was twofold: first, according to the exams, the 100-point limit for mental strength in their world was not accurate, and many strong individuals had data far exceeding this limit. This data was only used to evaluate students.

Second, the role of these dreams, which made Qin Haohan endure immense torment.

Anything he liked was repeatedly used to tempt him. People always have desires, and Qin Haohan could not possibly like nothing, so he often made mistakes.

Just Zhou Ke'er alone made Qin Haohan suffer dozens of times, costing him tens of thousands of yuan.

Only when he could completely resist any form of temptation from Zhou Ke'er did this test of lust pass its initial stage.

The exams also said that the goal was not to make Qin Haohan heartless and unfeeling, but to help him make rational judgments and not be blinded by anything.

After five days, Qin Haohan's wealth had shrunk to 13,000 yuan.

This robot training system was truly a luxury.

However, his total score in the five subjects had already reached 380!

According to past standards, this score was enough to get into the First High School!

Last year's admission score for the First High School was 380.

It's worth noting that in a graduating class of fifty students from a school like the Second Junior High, only about twenty could be admitted to the First High School!

Qin Haohan's grades had, without his realizing it, improved from the bottom of the school to the middle-upper level of his class.

The only thing that worried him was his money.

********

A cold wind blew outside the window, and snowflakes began to fall again.

The room was not heated. According to the school, these were future warriors or those preparing to become warriors, and a little cold was nothing. It was considered a way to temper their character.

In the classroom, a cultural subject class was in session.

The current cultural subjects were divided into World History, Wilderness Survival, and Martial Arts Theory.

Martial Arts Theory was the main subject, while the other two were secondary.

This class was on Martial Arts Theory, and the instructor was an old man named Xu Yan. His martial arts cultivation was not high, only at the First Rank of Flesh Training, and his completion rate was low, with little hope of advancing to the Second Rank.

However, his theoretical knowledge was absolutely rich, not inferior to that of the great martial arts masters, and it was more than enough to teach junior high school students.

At the moment, Xu Yan held a piece of chalk in one hand and a teaching rod in the other, pointing at the blackboard and lecturing to the students.

A human body diagram hung on the blackboard for explanation.

This teaching rod was not an ordinary one but an electric baton, as martial arts students were often unruly, and the electric baton was to ensure the teacher's safety.

"As everyone knows, after five hundred years of development, martial arts are no longer just a form of physical exercise and body tempering, but a rigorous discipline. Every step and every level of breakthrough involves various factors that determine how far you can go and how high your limits can be!"

"Now, all major federations in the world place great importance on martial arts, which is the foundation of a nation's strength. High-level martial artists are the pillars of the nation. While martial arts are not the only path, they are the best. Therefore, if you want to achieve something in martial arts, you should pay attention in my class. The scores in cultural subjects are also part of the exams!"

The students were very quiet. Even if Xu Yan didn't say it, everyone knew the importance of the midterm exams.

"Very well, let me explain the key points from your current state to the First Rank of Flesh Training."

"Your current state is the foundation-building stage of a martial artist, commonly known as a martial arts trainee, which is far from being a true martial artist."

"Only when your three physical abilities all reach 75 or above can you begin the first stage of flesh training. Only then can your body withstand the pressure of flesh training. The higher your current physical abilities, the greater your future achievements in flesh training. Of course, willpower is also essential."

Xu Yan's gaze swept across the classroom. "Now, who can answer how many muscles the human body has?"

The class beauty, Zhou Ke'er, was the first to raise her hand and stand up. "Teacher, there are 639 muscles."

Xu Yan nodded. "Yes, that's correct."

Zhou Ke'er was slightly pleased, flicking her long hair and sitting down. This question was simple, and everyone knew the answer, but she wanted to prove her presence. She enjoyed being the center of attention.

Her gaze swept the room, and indeed, she saw a sea of admiring eyes.

"Hmm...?"

Zhou Ke'er saw Qin Haohan, the boy who used to stare at her with longing, still looking at her. However, there was a discomforting feeling in his gaze.

When she tried to glare back, Qin Haohan suddenly lowered his head, as if he were about to vomit.

"Useless guy, secretly loving me, yet not even having the courage to look me in the eye." Zhou Ke'er sat down, like a proud princess.

Xu Yan continued, "As everyone knows, during the flesh training stage, one must make choices and trade-offs. Determining how many muscles to condense to maintain the best physical state and the most efficient power generation is a complex science. Throughout history, all major federations have listed countless formulas and laws for us to study and reference, including our Asian Federation... Hey, what are you doing, that boy down there?"

A piece of chalk flew out and hit someone accurately.

Xu Yan did not like it when students were not paying attention during his lectures, and now someone had run afoul of him.

The students followed the direction of the chalk and saw Qin Haohan, who was coughing with his head down.

Hit by the chalk, Qin Haohan looked up and saw everyone staring at him.

"Qin Haohan! Stand up and answer this: what is the cultivation law most suitable for the physical constitution of our Asian Federation during the flesh training stage?"

The surrounding students looked at him with mocking eyes. The class's bottom student was about to embarrass himself again.
