Chapter 8

Li Yi rode his bicycle back to the Advanced Tactics School on time, then turned and went to the Force Training Center without noticing a girl secretly observing him from a distance.

Skipping class was simply inconceivable for An Xiaobai. She had never done such an outrageous thing in her life. She always arrived at school on time, carried out the training tasks assigned by the instructor, and never arrived late or left early.

But for Li Yi, skipping class was a daily routine. His hair, shiny from a recent shower, and his eyes, somewhat lazy from spending too much time in the sauna, clearly showed this.

An Xiaobai frowned slightly. According to Li Yi's usual pace, today was a crucial moment for him to advance to the Warrior rank. Otherwise, Miss An Xiaobai wouldn't have specially waited on the playground to observe Li Yi's performance.

But what did An Xiaobai see? A Li Yi who had just skipped class to take a shower and was now stretching lazily!

To treat such an important breakthrough with such an attitude? It made An Xiaobai angry. When she was trying to break through to the Warrior rank, she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

"Even with such an unserious attitude, Li Yi can still improve by one unit of Force per day. What would happen if he went all out?" An Xiaobai was filled with curiosity and confusion, thinking to herself.

...

Entering the training center, Li Yi waited for the student in front of him to leave the training room, then laughed and opened the door, forcing himself to muster some energy.

The numbers on the screen were counting down. When the number reached one, the intense Force pressure reappeared, pressing down on Li Yi's body.

In the past, Li Yi would always be very nervous when entering the Turtle House, as it simulated facing a powerful enemy, like being in a life-or-death battle where the enemy's Force pressure was pressing down on him.

This time, Li Yi suddenly realized that entering the Turtle House in a completely relaxed state was a completely different feeling.

From being completely relaxed to having his muscles tense up, and then to his Force core running at full speed, the Force spread throughout his body.

The process was so clear that Li Yi could feel his body changing step by step, from a relaxed state to a combat state.

It was like fighting an unprepared battle!

Starting the training in a tense state had the advantage of quickly entering the state, with both mind and body fully prepared. This time, it was like being suddenly ambushed, as if Li Yi, who was unprepared, was thrown into a battlefield.

Comparing the two, the latter had a greater impact on Li Yi, and in actual combat, it was unlikely that the enemy would agree on a time and place to fight. More often, it was an ambush.

"I understand, this process is to simulate suddenly encountering an enemy!" Li Yi's eyes lit up as he said.

Kele said, "Exactly. When you suddenly feel the Force pressure while relaxed, every cell in your body will clearly sense the changes around you, deepening your understanding of the Force. The reason you soaked in the sauna for so long was to relax your originally tense nerves."

"According to the experience summarized by countless predecessors on the Star Network, training is more effective when done in a relaxed state. If you can't relax on your own, you need auxiliary means like a hot bath."

Li Yi nodded heavily and then began practicing his long fist in the Turtle House.

The experience summarized by the predecessors was not hard to understand. It was like a person who eats rice every day might get bored, but occasionally having a large northern pancake would naturally feel fresh and stimulate the appetite.

Trying to adjust the body's relaxation level before training was to create a sense of novelty for the body, avoiding the inertia that comes from long-term, monotonous training.

After a round of long fist, Li Yi felt a burning heat accumulating in his body, as if it was about to burst out. This was a sign that his Force level was about to break through.

Kele quickly reminded Li Yi to stop practicing the fist and switch to footwork.

Footwork was the coordination technique in team battles. Generally, a standard team consisted of five people: a scout, a rear guard, two main attackers, and a commander. They needed to coordinate seamlessly, and how to change positions became extremely important.

Compared to fist techniques, footwork training was naturally much easier. What made Li Yi uneasy was the accumulated Force in his body, which could no longer be suppressed under the Force pressure in the training room.

...

Five minutes later, the初级战士等级, broken!

Boom~

With Li Yi's punch, the sweat on his fist shot out like ice chips, like a bullet, splashing against the metal walls of the Turtle House.

"So this is the feeling of becoming a Warrior!?" Li Yi said in surprise.

Kele said, "Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. One unit of Force is the foundation of combat power. Only when the Force is strong enough can your martial skills be fully utilized. Don't underestimate the slight increase in your Force; breaking through the barrier is a true enhancement of your combat power."

"Congratulations, Master, you are now a true Force Warrior!"

There was still some time left, so Li Yi didn't rush to leave. Instead, he tried out the feeling of his Force level breakthrough in the training room.

Whether in strength, speed, or nerve reaction, Li Yi had improved significantly. He could clearly feel this improvement, and he was quite excited.

When Li Yi walked out of the Turtle House, he suddenly noticed that Instructor Taida and classmates like Liu Jinyuan were looking at him strangely.

"Congratulations! Your Spirit Power Index has reached one. From today on, you are a true Force Warrior!" The usually stern Instructor Taida rarely smiled as he said to Li Yi, "Actually, I noticed your rapid increase in Spirit Power Index long ago. I didn't say much to you to prevent you from becoming arrogant."

"In just one week, your Force increased from 0.2 to 1.0! In my entire teaching career, this is the first time I've seen such a thing! Keep it up, and by the time the official school year starts in September, you might be selected for the elite class. Your future is limitless!"

"Tomorrow, you will receive your Warrior badge, and the school will also give you a cash reward of 5,000 yuan. You deserve all of this!" Taida said excitedly.

Liu Jinyuan pouted and put a hand on Li Yi's shoulder, sighing, "Old classmate, you're too amazing. We're both practicing Force, but my Force only increased from 0.1 to 0.2, while you directly reached the Warrior standard. I thought I was pretty good, but compared to you, I'm just a weakling."

Taida smiled at Liu Jinyuan and said, "Don't be discouraged. Some people's bodies are very suitable for Force training, so they grow quickly. Perhaps Li Yi is one of them. You increasing your Force by 0.1 in seven days is also a good progress. The summer training is a great opportunity to quickly improve your level! As long as you work hard, you can be like Li Yi!"

"Do you know why you are always scheduled to enter the training room last every day? It's because your performance is poor, and you are a group of people looked down upon by the school. But remember, as long as you work hard, you can also soar like Li Yi! Achieve the Warrior rank, or even the Martial Artist rank!"

Hooray~

The underachievers cheered. Li Yi frowned slightly. He had always been at the bottom of the class, and being suddenly used as an advanced example by Taida made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

However, the 5,000 yuan cash reward came at just the right time, as Li Yi, with his increased appetite, was about to go hungry.
