Infinite Fighting

In the Tianyin Kingdom, all children over the age of ten will undergo an assessment.

The assessment was conducted by the authorities, and its purpose was to test whether one possessed the talent of a Star Warrior and whether one could draw star power into their body.

Once one successfully draws a star into their body, they become completely different from ordinary people, becoming a Star Warrior of the [Star Drawing Realm], and have the foundation to become a superior person.

They will then receive further training from local authorities. If they demonstrate sufficient talent, they can climb the ranks step by step and enjoy wealth and honor.

"It's a cliché setting, although reality is basically like that anyway," Zhang Ji complained.

That's how the Azure Federation is. Around the age of ten, they will assess your mental talent. Those with talent will have the opportunity to train to pilot mechs and manipulate the AI ​​matrix. Those without talent will basically only be useless individuals kept by robots to maintain genetic diversity for the rest of their lives.

Zhang Ji is the kind of person who lacks talent, so he doesn't like to play in the real world and is hopelessly addicted to the virtual world.

Fortunately, he still had cold, hard money to soothe his heart, which was indifferent to reality.

In Yang Yu's room, Zhang Ji held a fan to cool him down while listening to him boast.

"Don't let my current job as a cook in this restaurant fool you. Back in the day, out of all the kids in the village, only three could attract stars into their bodies, and I was one of them. It's not that I lacked talent; it's just that they had high standards and didn't take me seriously. But I'm not bragging, but five or six tough guys couldn't even get close to me."

From Yang Yu's words, Zhang Ji roughly understood the probability of being able to draw stars into his body.

About one-tenth of the population in their village of over thirty people eventually produced three individuals who attracted stars into their bodies.

Once the star is successfully drawn into the body, all attributes can be gradually improved with cultivation. Yang Yu had neglected his cultivation for a long time, but he still had considerable brute strength.

The "Spirit Pig Leading Star Technique" he practiced is one of the most common basic star-leading techniques.

The maximum level one can cultivate to is the early stage of the [Star-Attracting Realm].

Based on Yang Yu's evaluation, Zhang Ji estimated that the highest he could raise his Strength and Constitution attributes to around [D-].

However, it takes a long time to cultivate, and even with good talent, it will take at least ten years to master it.

Although the game time is three hundred times longer than real time, and he has the game pod with an ultra-long battery life and automatic nutrient solution replacement, it is still impossible for him to stay in the game for ten years straight.

Federal anti-addiction laws stipulate that if a player spends more than a year in a game, they must spend at least ten days in real life before they can continue playing.

Honestly, it's a stupid law; it's a complete waste of lives, isn't it?
Even if the new humans have an average lifespan of over three hundred years, we can't waste it like this!

Closer to home.

It may be commonplace, but not everyone has the method to attract stars into their body.

This thing will cost some money.

“Brother Yang, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but I lived in the mountains with my grandfather when I was a child. I only came down from the mountains last month and have never seen a Star Warrior. Is it really that mysterious to draw stars into the body? Could you demonstrate it and satisfy my curiosity?” Zhang Ji said.

"My shoulders are a little sore from cooking all day!" Yang Yu said with a smile, stretching out his hand.

"Brother Yang, you've worked hard. Let me give you a massage."

Zhang Ji immediately understood and stepped forward to massage the fat man's shoulders.

You have to be a grandson first before you can be a grandfather; this is an unchanging law of society.

While forcing a smile, Zhang Ji thought to himself that once he had the initial funding and the power, he would turn the tables on this fat man, change his gender, and send him to a brothel as a prostitute.

"That feels good. You know how to handle things, kid."

After massaging Yang Yu's shoulders for a while, he didn't intend to make things difficult for Zhang Ji. It was just a colleague joking around. After stretching a bit, he got up and went to the backyard.

"Watch closely, I'll only perform once."

As Yang Yu finished speaking, he shook his body, patted his belly, tilted his head back to the sky, and made a muffled sound like a wild boar coming from his throat. Faintly visible, wisps of starlight were drawn from the starry sky and absorbed by him.

After ten breaths, he stopped moving.

"Do you want to learn?" Yang Yu patted Zhang Ji on the shoulder and asked.

Zhang Ji's actions were so obvious that he naturally knew what Zhang Ji was thinking.

"I miss him so much, Brother Yang! If you won't abandon me..."

Zhang Ji raised his hand to bow down.

"What's the rush!" Yang Yu grabbed Zhang Ji's hand as he was about to bow down and said, "The imperial court has regulations that recommending talents also has benefits. If you can draw stars into your body, I can take you to the government's star list. Even if your talent is average, I will still give you ten taels of silver as a reward. If you succeed, you can bow down; if not, then forget it."

Do you really think he's just bored and enjoys being a good person to satisfy other people's curiosity?
Who would do something that doesn't bring them any benefit?
"Brother Yang, you are truly kind and righteous!" Zhang Ji said, feigning gratitude.

"Hey, you're really something else." Yang Yu chuckled at Zhang Ji's shamelessness, pointed at him, and said, "I'll tell you the key points, remember them. When drawing star power, the closer you are to the star, the more star power you can draw. The better, the more open and unobstructed the surroundings. Also, different methods draw star power of different natures. Basically, from the beginning, the method you choose will determine your future destiny star, but that's a matter for later. You can't think that far ahead. Now I'll teach you the 'Spirit Pig Star-Drawing Technique' that I learned. Visualize yourself as a spirit pig, just a pig, but you can imagine your appearance to be more imposing. Then breathe like this, making a sound."

[Hint: You have mastered the (Common One-Star) combat skill "Spirit Pig Leading Stars Technique".]

Talent is never an obstacle for players learning skills, because the player system is designed to be compatible with all cultivation systems, and all talents are fully maxed out.

Only specific skills, those exclusive to bloodlines, or those requiring special materials, will require players to put in a little more effort.

Otherwise, you'll learn it in no time.

Specifically, Zhang Ji didn't actually learn it; it was just that the game system indicated he had.

To train skills, he only needs to click on the training button.

"Did you understand?" Yang Yu asked.

"I understand," Zhang Ji nodded.

"Then why don't you give it a try?" Yang Yu said.

Zhang Ji imitated Yang Yu and began to make the corresponding movements, but he did not activate the skill directly.

The reason is simple: he doesn't want to be exposed.

It's not time to expose ourselves yet, at least not at this stage. Do you understand the concept of playing dumb to outsmart others?
If he were to follow the path of a genius, he wouldn't have earned his first pot of gold through working.

Instead, they directly sought to join the official major forces.

He's tired of that kind of game.

Now they want to create all sorts of plot twists and reversals, leaving the NPCs shocked and incredulous.

The main reason is that this is so that it's easier to make this video for him; he's already come up with several titles.

[Shocking! The down-on-his-luck waiter is actually a hidden master!]

[Tired of the bloodshed in the martial world, I never expected you guys would find me!]

[The king has returned, I am still a legend!]

Okay, they're all pretty cliché.

It would be better to just have a "working life of a martial arts leader".

Does this world of advanced martial arts have a martial arts alliance leader?

Could it be that the authorities have wiped out all the underworld forces and are no longer allowing the existence of independent local forces?

Probably not.

After all, in ancient worlds where individuals possess extraordinary powers, it is impossible to completely curb the development of local forces.

At most, no one dared to openly oppose the imperial court, but they would outwardly comply while inwardly resisting it.

"It seems you don't possess the talent of a Star Warrior."

Seeing that Zhang Ji had tried several times and his movements were quite standard and seemed to be working, but he still couldn't get results, Yang Yu realized that he didn't have the talent of a Star Warrior.

I'm so happy for nothing.

I thought I'd stumbled upon a job that hadn't been assessed by the imperial court, and that I'd be able to collect a year's wages.

The result is an ordinary person without talent.

It's grown so big.

"No talent?"

Zhang Ji showed a regretful expression.

"Go back, wash up, and go to bed. You'll be busy tomorrow!"

Yang Yu patted Zhang Ji on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Zhang Ji also left in frustration.

Once they were alone, he opened the panel, and a new skill appeared on it.

[《Spirit Pig Guiding Star Technique》 (0/100): Visualize a spirit pig, and guide its star power to temper your body. [Evaluation: A basic star-guiding method used to screen star warriors with star power talent. Generally, star warriors identified as having talent will switch to other more promising star-guiding methods during their formal training.]]
The skill text is in white, indicating that this is the most common skill.

But it doesn't matter, with the cheat code, even an ordinary person can reach the top.

The (0/100) in parentheses represents proficiency, or experience level.

All skills have this percentage of proficiency.

Reaching 100 points is considered a great achievement, the limit, and there's no way to improve further.

However, even ordinary skills are slow to learn.

The first 10% of proficiency can be mastered incredibly quickly—ten minutes in real time, or one or two days in the game.

But the remaining 90% takes many years, which is equivalent to the total playtime.

Anyway, it's very, very long.

If you don't participate in any storyline, don't grind monsters for materials, and just grind for skills normally, it will take at least a month to grind for a single ordinary skill.

That means the game has been played for over twenty years!
Only talented players can do that.

Without talent, an NPC might never become one, and might even regress in skill level as they practice.

It's very realistic, but Zhang Ji dislikes being so realistic.

He prefers a quick start, a fast middle, and a fast finish.

Therefore, the concept of "limit" came into being.

Once you've mastered one-tenth of the skill, you can directly convert it into essence and store it, then practice it again.

Ten essences can be directly combined into a complete skill crystal, which means it has the attribute bonus of a fully developed skill.

With a thought, Zhang Ji immediately chose to use the skill.

Immediately, his body began to move uncontrollably according to the most standard skill movements, his throat emitted a sound like a wild boar, his breathing rhythm changed, and he even saw a real, robust white spirit boar with the system's assistance.

"Huff huff huff~!"

In the starry sky, tiny points of light, like fireflies, flickered and were absorbed by Zhang Ji. Soon he saw the system notification.

[Hint: Gained +1 proficiency in "Spirit Pig Leading Stars Technique", current proficiency is (1/100). Strength attribute received a slight increase, currently at E. Constitution attribute received a slight increase, currently at E.]

"Turn off notifications!"
