"Ah... so painful..."

At noon the next day, Luo Yuan woke up from his coma and checked the time on his phone: 12:18.

Enduring the pain all over his body, he opened his personal attribute panel, and his eyes immediately widened in shock.

Name: Luo Yuan Strength: Apprentice Level (Beginner Warrior) Physical Strength: 1500 kg Speed: 30 m/s Defense: 1500 kg Mental Energy: 500 kg Technique: None Skill: Movement Technique (Micro Level)

"I've become a warrior just like that?" Luo Yuan found it hard to believe, but the attribute panel wouldn't lie to him; this was something he had tested.

In terms of physical strength (punching power), the passing mark for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment was 900 kilograms! In terms of speed, the passing mark for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment was 25 meters per second, which meant four seconds per hundred meters.

However, Luo Yuan's current strength was nearly double the standard of a quasi-warrior, and his speed was also five meters per second faster.

"Even among Beginner Warriors, my attributes and strength in all aspects are very high right now, but when it comes to actual combat, it's hard to say."

Although Luo Yuan's strength had improved a lot and he had directly entered the warrior level that countless students dreamed of, he calmed down after just a brief moment of excitement. This bit of strength might be considered very strong among ordinary people, but in the eyes of powerful warriors, it was nothing more than an ant.

It had taken him less than a week for his strength to go from an ordinary person to the warrior level, but he had never fought anyone before, so he was still a rookie when it came to practical combat. This worried him a little, because the Quasi-Warrior Assessment required testing practical combat ability.

Nerve reaction speed paired with running speed formed movement technique skills. During combat, movement techniques were extremely crucial. According to common sense, training in movement techniques required a very solid foundation, generally taking ten years of hard work. Afterward, through frequent mortal combat with monsters for several years, various dodging instincts were formed and gradually mastered. To master it to the ultimate degree was to execute it as naturally as a conditioned reflex.

A solid foundation, mastery, and natural execution! These were considered the initial three levels of movement techniques. Above these three levels... was the micro level, and Luo Yuan's current dodging movement technique was at the micro level.

The micro level meant having extremely minute control over force and the body, using the smallest cost to make the most exquisite evasions. Various movements and dodges were as if they had been calculated by a computer!

Many powerhouses at the War General Level had not even reached the micro-level movement technique! One could imagine how extremely difficult it was for a movement technique to reach this level. The reason it was difficult was because during small-scale dodging, the slightest mistake made it very easy to be hit by a monster! Being hit by a monster generally meant death or serious injury.

Luo Yuan looked at his attribute panel and smiled, couldn't help but sigh that having a cheat code was simply different. If an ordinary person wanted to reach warrior strength within a week, it would be sheer daydreaming. But he had the cheat code of picking up attributes; as long as he kept a low profile and was cautious, following behind powerhouses to watch the show and pick up attributes, he would sooner or later become a powerhouse.

However, in this world, it seemed only the protagonist Luo Feng marched forward triumphantly. It looked like he could get on good terms with him in the future; otherwise, even leaving Earth would be difficult.

Getting up and cleaning himself up, Luo Yuan prepared to drop out of Yian Third High School. Coming to this world, apart from glancing at the history textbook, he had forgotten all other high school knowledge. He wasn't going to make a fool of himself with the college entrance examination; becoming a warrior was much more lucrative.

That cold and aloof woman still hadn't returned yet; it seemed she might have run into some trouble, but Luo Yuan didn't pay it too much attention.

Catching a public bus, Luo Yuan arrived all the way at Yian Third High School. When he reached the door of his classroom, his head teacher Cui Dashan was giving a lecture. The few hairs on his Mediterranean-style bald head fluttered back and forth with his movements, which made Luo Yuan find it somewhat comical.

To be honest, in Luo Yuan's memories, he had no favorable impression of this rather snobbish head teacher, but he still politely refrained from interrupting his class, choosing instead to wait outside the classroom for them to finish.

"Ring-a-ling..."

The class-ending bell rang, and the students all grew lax. Luo Yuan also walked in, immediately drawing the attention of the people in the classroom.

"Luo Yuan, you still have the nerve to show up! Why didn't you answer my phone call yesterday? Do you not want to get your graduation certificate or take the college entrance examination anymore?..." Cui Dashan suddenly started yelling at Luo Yuan as he walked in.

"Please shut your stinking mouth. I'm here to drop out today," Luo Yuan said in a flat tone.

"You-you really are a piece of mud that can't be plastered onto a wall! Fine, even if you took the exams, you probably couldn't get into any good university anyway. If you want to drop out, then go ahead." Cui Dashan didn't try to dissuade him either; he felt there was no need to worry himself over someone with mediocre grades.

Luo Yuan curled his lips in a smile and then went straight to the administrative office to process his withdrawal. However, pulling this stunt when there was only a month left until the college entrance examination caused both the dean of students and the principal to refuse, as it would create a bad influence. Helplessly, Luo Yuan had to pull out his Advanced Student ID, after which they went from shock to fawning flattery, saying they needed to discuss it before giving an answer.

Returning to the classroom once more, Luo Yuan sat in his seat feeling rather listless. He had to wait for the discussion results from the dean and principal. His classmates in the same class only flashed looks of disdain when they saw him, and none of them came over to talk to him. After all, the original Luo Yuan was somewhat unsociable and an orphan, holding no value for socializing in their eyes. Luo Yuan was quite content with the peace and quiet; in his heart, they were no longer people of the same world.

"Whoa, look, Liu Ting is here!" suddenly shouted a male student in the classroom excitedly.

"Isn't she the martial arts genius who is one of the three advanced students of our Yian Third High School? I heard she's extremely arrogant. We haven't seen her since she came once at the start of the semester; what is she suddenly here for?" a female student in the classroom said doubtfully.

Luo Yuan also looked out the window. A cold and arrogant girl wearing a pleated uniform skirt was walking toward the classroom where he was. This girl had a slender figure, legs that looked especially long in long white tube silk stockings, flowing long hair, and pure facial features, but those eyes had not a single ripple, merely sweeping coldly over the surrounding people.

The strange thing was that after this female student named Liu Ting entered the classroom, she walked straight toward Luo Yuan's seat.

"Hello, classmate Luo Yuan. I am Liu Ting, an Advanced Student of the Limitless Martial Hall. Might it be convenient for us to find a place to chat?"

The pure-looking Liu Ting flashed a sweet smile at Luo Yuan, which immediately drew the attention of everyone in the classroom.

With a "swish," the students in the classroom looked at this scene in disbelief, staring in gape-mouthed astonishment. Liu Ting, the young miss and martial arts genius, had actually come to the school in person to find an insignificant minor character, and was even so polite. This was something never seen before at Yian Third High School.

Luo Yuan looked over this character who could only be considered background scenery in the original novel, at a loss for how to respond for a moment. It seemed this uninvited guest must have already found out about him advancing to become an advanced student yesterday, but this alone wasn't enough for her to come see him in person. It appeared something had happened that he didn't know about.

PS: To all you true deities, please toss me donations, monthly votes, and collections. Luo Yuan bows in submission.
