Divine Continent.
Jiang Province.
Li City.
Inside a Cultivation Room in Room 601, Unit 2, Building 3, Jinyuan Residential Complex.
This Cultivation Room had been specially built, its surrounding walls covered in a layer of alloy.
A youth named Lin Mu moved continuously within the Cultivation Room, his fists and feet flashing as sharp sounds of air being torn apart rang out one after another.
If a Fist Technique grandmaster had been present, they would have recognized at a glance that he was practicing the Second Stage Fist Technique, Dragon Roar Fist.
When the Fist Technique was performed, it would produce a sound like a dragon's roar.
But his mastery was lacking; he could not even produce a single dragon's roar.
However, as he finished practicing an entire set of the Fist Technique.
A system notification suddenly rang out.
"Dragon Roar Fist practice complete. Obtained 89 times efficiency."
As the system notification sounded, a distinct change appeared in Lin Mu's eyes.
He could feel that the sensation from his previous practice had multiplied many times over.
His comprehension of Dragon Roar Fist had become extraordinarily profound.
The Blood Qi within his body had also changed noticeably.
He took a deep breath, moved, and swung the force of his fist toward the front once more.
Boom!
A faint dragon's roar sounded at that moment.
This meant that he had already reached the entry level with this Fist Technique.
By his estimate, it should have taken at least one or two weeks of practice before he could possibly reach the entry level.
Yet with the System's help, he had reached the entry level after practicing for only half an hour.
This is unbelievable! No wonder those webnovel protagonists become extraordinary the moment they awaken a system. With a system like this, what could I possibly have to worry about in the future?
Excitement shone in Lin Mu's eyes.
He had originally been an ordinary college student, but two months ago, he had accidentally arrived in this world.
This was a High Martial World. Fierce Beasts descended upon it, experts were as numerous as clouds, and the only path forward for ordinary people was to become martial artists.
The body he now occupied came from an ordinary family, and its cultivation talent was nothing special either.
Even after arriving in this world, despite studying diligently and training bitterly every day, his cultivation had grown at an agonizingly slow pace.
Had he not awakened the System, at most he would have become a liberal arts student in the future, living a life beneath others.
In this era, without strength or background, one was simply part of the impoverished masses.
Fortunately, the System had activated early this morning.
Its function was also simple: diligence could make up for clumsiness.
As long as he put in the effort, he could receive a critical return of 1 to -fold.
Lin Mu had just performed Dragon Roar Fist once.
He had directly received an eighty-ninefold critical return, and his comprehension of the Fist Technique had visibly improved.
Before this, he would not even have dared to dream of it.
Based on my current grades, when the Martial Arts Exam comes in three months, I can at most get into a vocational college.
But now, I might even be able to enter the best martial arts school in the province.
A gleam of excitement flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.
In his previous life, he had been utterly ordinary, drifting through each day and running himself ragged for a living. Now that he had finally crossed over into a High Martial World, how could he be willing to remain ordinary? How could he not want to step into the very forefront and see the summit of the world for himself!?
After letting out a soft breath, he quickly threw himself back into training.
"Dragon Roar Fist practice complete. Obtained 73 times efficiency."
"Dragon Roar Fist practice complete. Obtained 82 times efficiency."
"Dragon Roar Fist practice complete. Obtained 99 times efficiency."
"..."
As he continued moving and unleashing fists and kicks, Lin Mu's understanding of Dragon Roar Fist steadily deepened.
His Blood Qi Value was also constantly increasing.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, he turned his gaze toward the system interface.
Name: Lin Mu. Blood Qi Value: 0.86 points. Skills: Fist Technique (Black Iron Grade 14%), Movement Technique (Black Iron Grade 10%). Cultivation Art: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Art (Minor Success 31%). Martial Skill: Dragon Roar Fist (Minor Success 34%). ...
When he saw these figures, the excitement in Lin Mu's eyes became even more apparent.
Not long ago, he had only just begun cultivating this Martial Skill, yet now he had already reached thirty-four percent Minor Success.
In the past, it would have taken him at least several months to possibly achieve this.
His face brimming with excitement, Lin Mu headed outside.
He knew that this world placed enormous importance on students' grades.
As long as one improved, one could receive the corresponding rewards.
Now that he possessed the System, he did not need to worry about cultivation. The only thing he needed was resources.
With enough resources, he could raise his cultivation speed by another level!
Arriving at the martial arts hall downstairs, Lin Mu walked straight inside.
After registering briefly at the front desk, he entered a Cultivation Room.
There were quite a few instruments inside the Cultivation Room.
Lin Mu took a deep breath and swung his fist toward a punching target.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out.
Numbers began scrolling continuously across the punching target.
324 kg!
At the appearance of this number, excitement flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.
Not long ago, his punching force had only been 178 kg.
Yet it had increased by so much in such a short time.
He took a deep breath. The muscles across his body tightened, and it seemed as though a Dragon's Roar echoed between his bones.
His fist smashed viciously into the punching target.
547 kg.
When this result appeared, a glimmer of excitement flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.
He immediately spoke into the intercom beside him.
"Testing in Cultivation Room No. 7 is complete."
A woman's voice came through the intercom. "Alright, someone will be there shortly."
Before long, a figure entered the Cultivation Room. Looking at the data before him, he walked to the side and pulled up the room's surveillance footage. After confirming that it was Lin Mu, he nodded slightly.
"Not bad. To reach five hundred kilograms of punching force at your age, you will definitely be able to become a martial artist in time."
A smile appeared on Lin Mu's face. "According to the rules, I should be able to receive a 3,000-yuan stipend, right?"
"Mm! We'll process it here. It should be transferred to your account within about ten minutes," the man said. "Come test again after becoming a martial artist. There will be other rewards."
"Alright!" Lin Mu nodded.
Led by the man, he headed outside. After registering the information, 3,000 yuan was transferred to his card.
Taking the money, Lin Mu walked to the side. After some selection, he purchased an F-grade Blood Qi Potion.
This kind of potion could greatly increase the body's vitality and boost cultivation efficiency within a short period of time.
After returning home once more, Lin Mu remained in the Cultivation Room and drank the potion. A burning sensation rose within his body.
His body moved continuously, while his skin turned fiery red.
As time passed, he finished performing a set of the Fist Technique.
"Dragon Roar Fist practice complete while under the effects of a potion. Obtained 102 times efficiency."
A system notification sounded at that moment.
Lin Mu only felt as if a ball of fire were burning inside his body.
His comprehension of Dragon Roar Fist improved noticeably.
The Blood Qi within his body also changed significantly.
After just one round, his strength had increased tremendously.
Terrifying. Even while under the effects of a potion, the results can still be multiplied by the amplification factor. That means one potion for me can rival dozens, or even hundreds, of potions. Once I have sufficient resources in the future, just how terrifying will my rate of improvement become?
Lin Mu silently thought to himself.
Under the System's effect, it undoubtedly helped him save a great deal of resources. While others needed to spend hundreds of potions, he needed only one—and there were no side effects.
With a System like this, his future would surely shine with incomparable brilliance!
An hour quickly passed, and Lin Mu remained in the Cultivation Room the entire time.
Dragon's roars rang out continuously.
The System's notifications also continued appearing in his mind.
Name: Lin Mu. Blood Qi Value: 0.94 points. Skills: Fist Technique (Black Iron Grade 19%), Movement Technique (Black Iron Grade 12%). Cultivation Art: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Art (Minor Success 31%). Martial Skill: Dragon Roar Fist (Minor Success 94%). ...
Compared to before, his Blood Qi Value had increased by 0.08, his Fist Technique skill by 5%, his Movement Technique skill by 2%, and Dragon Roar Fist by 61%.
Looking at the changes before him, Lin Mu's eyes were filled with excitement.
This effect was equivalent to several months of his previous bitter training.
The power of the System was terrifying indeed!
