Determined to Win

After dividing them into groups, Su Pengfei began teaching the Basic Fist Technique.

Su Pengfei's teaching method was simple and rough.

First, Su Pengfei performed the Basic Fist Technique once himself, then had Wang Tianyu and the others practice from memory.

Wang Tianyu planted his legs firmly on the floor, imitating each punch and kick move by move.

Wang Tianyu's movements were clumsy, nowhere near as clean and sharp as Su Pengfei's.

Although Su Pengfei had slowed down considerably when demonstrating the technique,

this was Wang Tianyu's first time encountering something like this, so there was no way he could replicate the whole sequence perfectly.

Su Pengfei swept his gaze across the crowd below, a hint of disappointment on his face.

Su Pengfei shook his head and said, "Looks like none of you are cultivation geniuses who can memorize something after a single glance. We'll do this the conventional way."

With that, Su Pengfei moved to the front and began teaching the individual movements of the Basic Fist Technique.

"One."

"Two."

As they copied Su Pengfei's moves one by one, the difficulty dropped drastically, and Wang Tianyu and the others performed much better this time.

"What are you staring at? Focus."

Su Pengfei did not hold back, smacking a dazed-looking boy on the back of the head.

After taking that hit, the boy's eyes immediately became focused.

"Put some strength into it. Imagine there's someone standing in front of you who stole your girlfriend."

"Bring out your spirit and vigor. Don't be so limp and soft—men need strength."

Su Pengfei weaved through the crowd, pointing out each person's shortcomings.

Su Pengfei's teaching could not be called meticulous. From time to time, joking remarks slipped from his mouth, making the atmosphere less solemn.

But Su Pengfei was undoubtedly a responsible teacher.

He gave every person below the stage some guidance, without showing much favoritism.

"The Basic Fist Technique has ten levels. Every level contains many variations, intricate and ever-changing."

While giving guidance, Su Pengfei also took the time to explain a few things to Wang Tianyu and the others.

"Don't underestimate this fist technique. Let me tell you, before entering Martial Arts University, it's the only cultivation method you'll be able to practice."

"Like this—your punches need force, and your retractions need speed."

Su Pengfei was standing beside Wang Tianyu at the moment and noticed that Wang Tianyu's movements were not quite right.

So Su Pengfei personally demonstrated the move for Wang Tianyu once.

After finishing the demonstration, Su Pengfei continued, "Martial Arts University assessments place particular emphasis on actual combat ability, and the Basic Fist Technique can greatly improve yours. Whether you can get into a better Martial Arts University will depend entirely on it."

Wang Tianyu practiced seriously. Although he had the system, it currently only had two Energy Points left.

For the time being, Wang Tianyu had no intention of wasting those two Energy Points.

He felt that Energy Stones might increase his Energy Points, but that had not been verified yet.

So Wang Tianyu planned to practice the Basic Fist Technique himself first, while also testing just how good his comprehension was.

Just like that, a day of training came to an end. Wang Tianyu dragged his exhausted body home.

"Drink some soup first. Rest for a while, then have dinner."

When Wang Tianyu came home, Mother Wang first brought him a bowl of soup made with nourishing ingredients.

That bowl of supplements was not cheap. If it had been spent on food, it would have been enough to feed Wang Tianyu's family for a week.

Wang Tianyu had been accepted into the Martial Arts Class and become a prospective Martial Arts University student, greatly raising the Wang family's social standing.

Aside from the congratulatory gifts and red envelopes from relatives and friends, Wang Tianyu's father had also benefited from Wang Tianyu's success.

Father Wang had originally only been a low-level manager at the factory. He had worked tirelessly for decades without ever receiving a promotion.

Now, the moment Wang Tianyu was accepted into the Martial Arts Class, the factory immediately promoted Father Wang on the grounds of his extensive experience and good performance.

After his promotion, Father Wang no longer had to work overtime, and his salary rose noticeably as well.

"Training in the Martial Arts Class must be exhausting. Eat more—this is very nourishing."

Seeing Wang Tianyu's exhausted face, Mother Wang was full of heartache.

"After dinner, get some proper rest. Mengmeng, don't disturb your brother later, understand?"

Having already been promoted and no longer needing to work overtime, Father Wang had also come home early.

Seeing Wang Mengmeng clinging to Wang Tianyu again, Father Wang glanced at his daughter.

"Mm. Big Brother is very tired. Big Brother needs to rest. Mengmeng won't watch TV later—the sound will disturb Big Brother."

Wang Mengmeng was very sensible. Seeing how tired Wang Tianyu was, she was even willing to give up the cartoons she watched every day.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I'll be better after some sleep."

Wang Tianyu knew he could not relax. Since he had stepped onto the path of martial arts, he intended to keep walking it.

Wang Tianyu himself wanted very much to become a martial artist. Men had an innate desire for power.

What was more, becoming a martial artist could bring better living conditions to both himself and his family.

Right now, Wang Tianyu had merely entered a Martial Arts Class, barely prying open a crack in the door leading to the path of martial arts.

Yet even that alone had brought such enormous changes to the Wang family's circumstances.

Father Wang had been promoted, and even the company's leaders had become easier to talk to.

Relatives and friends who rarely contacted them before had also become warm and enthusiastic, proactively helping the Wang family with quite a few things.

None of this was because those people had suddenly grown kindhearted. They were all investing—their investment was in Wang Tianyu becoming a martial artist.

If Wang Tianyu were eliminated from the Martial Arts Class and failed to become a martial artist,

then just as Father Wang could be promoted for outstanding performance, he could certainly be demoted for poor performance.

Those enthusiastic relatives and friends would become busy again, with no time to remain close to the Wang family.

After dinner, Wang Tianyu lay on his bed with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep.

Focusing his mind inward, Wang Tianyu summoned his system panel.

"Basic Cultivation Method": Level Twelve (Cannot be improved)

"Basic Fist Technique": Not initiated (Can be improved)

Energy Points: Two

After practicing for an entire day, Wang Tianyu had confirmed one thing: his comprehension was not particularly high.

Not only was it not good—it could even be called ordinary.

Opening the system, Wang Tianyu decided to take a gamble.

Su Pengfei had said today that his wager with Gao Bin would take place a week later.

Su Pengfei would select the strongest person from among Wang Tianyu's group.

After choosing someone, to ensure victory, Su Pengfei would personally guide that person alone for several days.

Wang Tianyu did not care much about Su Pengfei's personal guidance. What he cared about were those Energy Stones.

To obtain the Energy Stones, Wang Tianyu had no other choice.

With his own comprehension, Wang Tianyu did not have much chance of securing that spot.

So Wang Tianyu could only choose to gamble with his remaining Energy Points.

"Improve!"

Having made up his mind, Wang Tianyu no longer hesitated and directly chose to improve the Basic Fist Technique.

The same scene appeared again. When Wang Tianyu came back to his senses, his Basic Fist Technique had risen to the first level.

"Basic Cultivation Method": Level Twelve (Cannot be improved)

"Basic Fist Technique": Level One (Can be improved)

Energy Points: One

As he felt the changes in his body, he checked the system panel.

Only one Energy Point left. If Energy Stones can't increase Energy Points, then...

Since he was already in for a penny, he might as well be in for a pound. Wang Tianyu's gambler's mentality surged up as well.

Wang Tianyu summoned the system panel again and used up his last remaining Energy Point.

With no way back left for himself, Wang Tianyu instead felt less anxiety and hesitation in his heart.
