In 2125, Earth's spiritual energy was revived. Fierce Beasts and Alien Races invaded, and the Human Race fought back with martial arts!
After painstakingly establishing the "Base Cities" system, the Human Race saw talent emerge generation after generation, and continued to wage war and explore!
Ten thousand years passed!
Now, the Human Race could explore the universe!
And claim vast stretches of its territory!
Galaxies were as numerous as clouds, and constellations as countless as seas!
But even so!
The Human Race had explored less than ten percent of the universe! As it grew stronger, it also discovered higher civilizations and even the ruins of Gods and Devils deep in the starry expanse.
And within the Human Race Alliance's star domain!
On a planet named Dragon Star!
In the yard of a detached house somewhere in Rongguang City, a handsome seventeen-year-old boy with dark eyes and black hair sweated profusely as he shifted through one stance after another!
What he was practicing!
Was the Stance Training best suited for the masses to forge their foundations, perfected by the Human Race over ten thousand years: Nine Revolutions Stance Skill!
Several minutes later!
The boy drew a deep breath and completed a set!
A page visible only to him appeared before his eyes!
[ Ding! Completed one practice of "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill" ] [ Proficiency +1 ] [ Nine Revolutions Stance Skill, Minor Accomplishment · Fifth Revolution (89/100) ] [ Proficiency: Beginner, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Perfected! ]
Jiang Hao looked at the interface before him, his face gradually breaking into a delighted grin. "It's real, it's real! I really do have a system!"
Jiang Hao!
He had been transported to this world seventeen years ago!
When he learned he had arrived in this magnificent high-martial world, Jiang Hao could hardly contain his anticipation!
Unfortunately!
He had started school and martial arts training at twelve, and when his aptitude was tested, reality dealt him a crushing blow!
His Martial Bone was only Dust Grade!
A Martial Bone determined one's talent. The grades were Blazing Sun, Radiant Sun, Bright Moon, Sun, Moon, Star, and Dust!
Jiang Hao was terribly unlucky!
He had the lowest grade, Dust!
Actually, this was the normal Martial Bone for ordinary people. A better one might reach Star Grade, while Moon Grade was one in ten thousand!
As for the higher grades—Sun, Bright Moon, and Radiant Sun—those were only likely to appear among the great families and top powers!
So ever since starting school, Jiang Hao had been an average performer, as unremarkable as an ordinary person. He'd probably live out the rest of his life in quiet mediocrity!
No matter how hard Jiang Hao worked!
He couldn't make up for much!
Now he was seventeen, and there were only seven or eight months until the Martial Arts Exam at eighteen. To get into even the most ordinary Martial Arts University, his Blood Qi Intensity had to reach at least 10!
Jiang Hao's Blood Qi Intensity was currently 7.8. He was still a long way from 10!
Seven or eight months!
At his current rate, Jiang Hao could raise it to at most 8.3 or 8.5!
Unless he took all kinds of extremely expensive Nutrient Solutions or awakened a Supernatural Ability, there was no other possibility!
But all of that!
Had been completely rewritten more than ten minutes ago!
Because more than ten minutes ago, Jiang Hao had awakened a [Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence] system. Just as its name suggested, as long as he was willing to put in the work, it would reward him!
Jiang Hao had thought his eyes were playing tricks on him!
So he tried it out!
And it was actually real!
Jiang Hao clenched his fist, suppressing his excitement as he stared intently at the interface before him. "According to the system, I'm only eleven practices away from perfecting the fifth revolution of Nine Revolutions Stance Skill. That feels about right!"
"Fifth Revolution, perfected!"
"That'll make my body-tempering more efficient!"
"I used to gain 0.1 Blood Qi a month. Once I perfect the fifth revolution and enter the sixth, I'll be able to cut that time in half at the very least!"
"Now we're talking!"
As Jiang Hao spoke, he was already itching to continue his Stance Training!
Immediately after!
[ Ding! Completed one practice of "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill, Minor Accomplishment · Fifth Revolution" ]
The book was good? Add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time!
[ Proficiency +1 ] [ Ding! Completed one practice of "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill, Minor Accomplishment · Fifth Revolution" ] [ Proficiency +1 ]
After the fourth practice!
Jiang Hao felt completely drained, so he had no choice but to stop!
With his current physique, practicing the fifth revolution of Nine Revolutions Stance Skill four times was enough to push his muscles and meridians to their limit!
Any more would do him harm rather than good!
To increase the number of times he could practice!
He'd need to take expensive Nutrient Solutions or some rare treasures capable of nourishing and restoring his meridians!
Of course!
Jiang Hao couldn't afford any of that!
Besides!
Jiang Hao had also tested it in the middle of his practice. If his movements weren't correct, [Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence] wouldn't count the proficiency, so he had to get the technique right every time!
But even though Jiang Hao was exhausted, his eyes shone like stars!
After spending seventeen years in this vast world as an utterly ordinary, unknown nobody, he finally had something to look forward to!
After four practices of Nine Revolutions Stance Skill!
His proficiency had reached [Nine Revolutions Stance Skill, Minor Accomplishment · Fifth Revolution (93/100)]!
Seven more to go!
At most two days!
Then Nine Revolutions Stance Skill would break through to the sixth revolution!
And reach Major Accomplishment!
While Jiang Hao rested, a woman's voice suddenly came from inside the house!
"Xiao Hao, are you done practicing? I've run you a bath. Wash up and get some rest early. Don't push yourself too hard!"
The speaker was Jiang Hao's mother in this world, Shen Man!
In this world, Jiang Hao had nothing to complain about apart from his poor talent!
Both his parents were alive!
And he had a younger sister!
His family was happy. They weren't particularly rich, but their hard work had paid off, and they had a little savings!
"Coming!"
Jiang Hao sprang up from the ground like a carp, brushed the grass off himself, and headed inside!
As he entered the house!
The cozy family decor came into view. The living room connected to the yard, with a coffee table in the middle, a television on one side, and a sofa on the other!
Two people were sitting on the sofa!
Jiang Dad, Jiang Chuanning, who looked to be in his forties!
And a fourteen-year-old girl with fair skin, a youthful, pretty face, and an air of innocence and energy—Jiang Keke!
"Bro, you're blocking the TV! Move, move! The Interstellar Mecha show's at the best part!" When Jiang Keke saw Jiang Hao standing motionless in front of her, she quickly waved her little hands and urged him to get out of the way!
Jiang Chuanning, who was reading a newspaper nearby, heard Jiang Keke and shot him a glance before snorting. "So what if he's blocking you for a second? You've been watching since dinner. Why don't you learn from your brother for once? What a waste of your talent!"
Jiang Keke was Jiang Hao's younger sister!
And she had excellent talent!
She had the Star Grade Martial Bone mentioned earlier, and was now in the Key Class at Jiang Hao's Martial Arts Middle School!
Hearing Jiang Chuanning's words, Jiang Hao smiled. "Dad, Keke works hard at martial arts school too. She just needs to balance work and rest!"
After Jiang Hao finished speaking!
He turned to Jiang Keke!
"I'm going to take a shower first. I'll be with you in a bit!"
"Got it, got it!"
Jiang Keke nodded, her beautiful eyes fixed on the holographic television!
Jiang Chuanning rolled his eyes at Jiang Hao, then lowered his head to the newspaper and said with exasperation, "You and your mom just spoil her. She'll be completely out of control one of these days!"
Jiang Hao knew Jiang Keke's personality. She was well-behaved outside!
She only let loose around people she knew!
When he reached the clothesline, Jiang Hao took down his dry clothes. Just as he was about to head to the bathroom, Shen Man suddenly came up to him!
"Mom, what is it?"
Looking at Shen Man, who was blocking his way, Jiang Hao asked in confusion!
Shen Man smiled faintly, then pulled out a bank card and handed it to Jiang Hao. "Our family isn't rich. Your dad and I talked it over last night. Take this. You've got seven or eight months until the Martial Arts Exam. Give it your all, so you won't have any regrets!"
