Su Yuan, War God's Heart

Su Yuan, War God's Heart

Linzhou City, Qianshan District No. 2 High School.

During the physical education class of Class 3, Grade 12.

"Su Yuan is at it again, wasting time like that every day."

"Yeah, I really don't know what the point is of him spending all that time walking. Is he trying to train himself to run like the wind?"

"Ever since that incident, this guy seems to be trying to use power walking to numb himself? But this intensity is a bit too low, isn't it?"

The warm-up activities had just ended, and the PE teacher announced free time.

A group of students from Class 3, Grade 12 discussed Su Yuan.

A slightly thin figure was currently walking quickly on the track.

Su Yuan wore a standard white school uniform and looked quite handsome. His gaze was resolute as he walked briskly, as if the outside chatter could not disturb his inner self at all.

To his classmates, this scene made Su Yuan look utterly heartbroken.

Two and a half months ago, the original Su Yuan confessed his feelings to the school belle Xu Ya.

He ended up rejected by her.

"Sorry, I won't consider dating anyone before becoming a Third-Realm Martial Artist."

The next day, the parents of the original Su Yuan suddenly died violently after entering a Secret Realm. This heavy blow made an already not-so-wealthy family even worse off.

On the very night his parents died, the original Su Yuan could not bear the blow and committed suicide.

This allowed Su Yuan to cross over into this world while the system repaired his physical injuries.

"Confessing to the school belle, parents dying violently."

"A familiar starting setup."

On the night of his transmigration, Su Yuan shook his head and complained helplessly.

He had just taken a nap during his lunch break at work and then transmigrated. Who could he even reason with?

Not only that, but he also transmigrated into a high-martial arts world.

The humans here were completely different from his previous life. The strong possessed the terrifying power to soar through the skies and tunnel through the earth, obliterating all things with a single thought.

Martial arts had become the mainstream of the world.

Without sufficient strength, one had no right to speak and establish a foothold in society.

Under the double blow of the school belle and his parents, Su Yuan inexplicably started a "rampage" mode.

That's right, it was a rampage in the literal sense.

He walked quickly around the school track every day.

Little did they know that this was actually Su Yuan's golden finger.

While power walking, Su Yuan silently opened a panel visible only to himself.

[Name: Su Yuan]
[Age: 17]
[Realm: 56.2 Blood Qi Value (Uninitiated Martial Artist)]
[Talent Unlocking Condition: Walk one thousand kilometers (998km/1000km)]
[Breathing Method: Concise Thunder Breathing Method (25%)]
[Martial Skill: Thunderclap Fist (30%)]

The panel information was clear at a glance.

This walking could only be fast walking, not running.

Su Yuan had tried jogging for three miles, but not a single point of progress was added to the panel.

In the eyes of others, Su Yuan was just wandering around aimlessly every day.

None of them knew that this was the condition to unlock Su Yuan's talent.

Su Yuan was very much looking forward to what talent would be unlocked after he walked a thousand kilometers.

The PE teacher Li Youfeng glanced at Su Yuan walking on the track, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself.

"It's been two and a half months. Wait another half month; if Su Yuan fails to break through to 60 Blood Qi, he'll be kicked out of the Elite Class."

"Wasting so much time on meaningless things, I really don't know what Su Yuan has in mind."

Not only the PE teacher, but even the head teacher and other martial arts teachers had tried to persuade Su Yuan to focus his efforts on practicing martial arts.

As a result, Su Yuan simply refused to listen. Every day, he still went for a stroll whenever he had free time, and even ran to the track to move around during the ten-minute breaks between classes.

They suspected that Su Yuan wasn't really traumatized by Xu Ya, was he?

But wasn't this behavior a bit too rash?

According to the normal routine, shouldn't he be working hard to cultivate?

Suddenly, Li Youfeng received a phone call. After his expression flickered between calm and stormy for a moment, he flashed a few times and arrived right in front of Su Yuan.

"Su Yuan, something happened at your home."

Li Youfeng's words immediately startled Su Yuan.

There's no one left in my home except me, what else could possibly happen?

Su Yuan's mind was entirely focused on unlocking his talent, and he didn't want to bother with Li Youfeng at the moment.

However, Li Youfeng's next sentence made Su Yuan stop in his tracks.

"Good news, the bereavement allowance for your parents has been issued to the school through the Martial Arts Education Bureau."

"But to get the first installment of the allowance, you must reach 60 Blood Qi."

What does that mean?

Su Yuan's mouth twitched. Is this seeing that I've been "giving up on myself" lately, and thus forcing me to practice martial arts?

Oh, man!

The methods used by the school's upper management were really dirty!

All that talk about the Martial Arts Education Bureau was just an excuse; it was simply because they wanted to intercept the bereavement allowance for themselves.

Why was the school so persistent in making Su Yuan practice martial arts?

Su Yuan had exceptional martial arts talent, ranking in the top twenty among all senior students at Qianshan No. 2 High School.

However, recently Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value growth rate had been extremely slow. Over two months, he had dropped from fifth place in the class to forty-second.

There were only fifty people in the entire Elite Class.

The top five classes of Grade 12 were all Elite Classes, while starting from Class 6, they were ordinary classes.

Every month, the Elite Class held a Blood Qi assessment, and the bottom five in ranking were eliminated and demoted to ordinary classes.

"Understood."

"Thank you for letting me know, Teacher Li."

Su Yuan replied calmly and continued his fast walk, leaving behind a speechless Li Youfeng whose mouth opened and closed.

"Su Yuan, you..."

With an expression of utter exasperation, Li Youfeng could only point a trembling right hand at Su Yuan's back.

Despite being a Third-Realm Martial Artist, he was completely helpless against Su Yuan.

"What a terrible idea the school came up with. This kid Su Yuan seems to have truly made up his mind to give up martial arts."

"Even money can't lure him to continue cultivating, what else could?"

"We should just issue the bereavement allowance directly to him. This is what Su Yuan deserves, we shouldn't act on our own accord."

Abruptly, Li Youfeng rolled his eyes, a smile curving the corners of his mouth.

"Why don't... I go find Xu Ya and try?"

Li Youfeng stood in place, rubbing his chin in thought, as some quirky ideas suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Forget it, forget it. Better not provoke Su Yuan, I'm afraid he'll drop out on the spot."

Just a moment later, Li Youfeng gave up.

As a teacher, and a PE teacher at that, it was better not to interfere too much in the students' private lives.

The surrounding classmates had long stopped paying attention to the commotion on Su Yuan's side, each of them starting to spar with one another.

They had long grown used to this scene.

Instead of worrying about others, it was better to improve oneself.

Everyone's goal in the Elite Class was to enter a martial arts university!

Su Yuan just walked alone on the track, ignored by everyone.

Having walked for over two months, Su Yuan had slowly forged a good mindset.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous—that was the key to practicing martial arts.

Once he unlocked his talent, he would surely emerge from the abyss like a hidden dragon and shock the school.

Although he didn't know what his specific talent was, Su Yuan had a vague feeling that this would be the turning point for his rise.

"One thousand meters left."

"Eight hundred meters."

"Five hundred meters."

"Two hundred meters."

"Fifty meters!"

As time passed, Su Yuan's expression didn't change much, but his heart was already filled with excitement.

"Completed!"

Finishing the final meter, Su Yuan stopped walking, glanced around, and quickly ran to an unobserved corner.

[Talent activation condition: Walk one thousand kilometers (1000km/1000km)]

[Talent activation condition met, loading...]

Su Yuan stared fixedly at the panel information.

Three seconds later.

[Congratulations on unlocking the divine-tier talent: Crimson War God's Heart]
