My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 12 Rapid Progress (Part 2 Combined) (Please read and vote!)

Jiang Ye was too lazy to sleep at the moment. He had been having nightmares every day lately and couldn't sleep soundly.

While it was still early, Jiang Ye began practicing his boxing in his room.

As soon as he adopted the stance, he immediately sensed the difference.

“My understanding of spiritual practices seems to have deepened.”

Jiang Ye recalled for a moment and found that the memories of Chen Zilu instructing him had become incredibly clear.

Even the smallest detail is vividly depicted.

Previously, these memories were vague, and many details were overlooked.

"Is this what it feels like to be a genius?"

Jiang Ye immediately became engrossed in it, completely absorbed.

The saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

No martial arts teacher can possibly explain every single detail of training.

Therefore, how much the students can understand during the teacher's practice depends entirely on themselves.

There are some parts that you just can't understand no matter how many times you watch them.

However, some martial arts geniuses are able to grasp those key points on their own and benefit greatly from them.

And that's exactly what Jiang Ye is like now.

He looked at Chen Zilu from his memory, focusing on her chest, waist, hips and other key areas.

"Between the beginning and the end, the Qi is connected, one moves and the other follows, closely intertwined."

"So that's how the Dragon's Tail Swing is used."

In just a few minutes, Jiang Ye had already benefited greatly.

He became completely absorbed in the practice, oblivious to the world around him, tirelessly cultivating the "Star Martial Cultivation Method."

In the blink of an eye, it was broad daylight.

Jiang Ye saw the bright sunshine outside the window and realized that it was already 11 a.m.

Fortunately, today is a single day off, so he doesn't have to go to school.

"I never expected that the training would last for six hours."

Jiang Ye was drenched in sweat, but felt he had benefited greatly.

"I heard that after reaching the Great Mastery, the difficulty of advancement is far greater than that of the Minor Mastery, but why do I feel that it's even easier than when I reached the Minor Mastery?"

It took Jiang Ye three full days to go from 99% to 100% success in his cultivation practice.

According to Chen Zilu, the difficulty of improvement after reaching the highest level is more than five times higher than that of reaching the lowest level.

In other words, it might take him half a month to improve by 1%.

But that was before.

"I wonder how much progress I've made?" Jiang Ye looked at the panel with some trepidation.

[Technique]

Star Martial Cultivation Technique: Great Success (3%)

-

"Only six hours, and it increased by 2%?!"

Jiang Ye was shocked to see this.

Logically, something that takes a month to accomplish, he did in six hours?!

"Is this my potential?"

Jiang Ye knew that his significant improvement was absolutely inseparable from the physical enhancement he had just received.

Now, his martial arts skills have been transformed into 'Grade B of Mortal Body', and his comprehension has been permanently increased by 10%.

This means that his martial arts aptitude has also improved many times over.

Although it is still the original endowment, it is very different from before.

"This is only the reward for the first level of the Martial Arts Ladder."

"The rewards on the first level are already so amazing, I wonder what the rewards on the later levels will be?"

Jiang Ye is looking forward to it.

Putting everything else aside, even if one undergoes another physical transformation at the second level, it would still be incredibly astonishing.

However, to enter the second level, one would probably need to perfect their cultivation method, or even break through to the next level.

"Brother, brother~"

"Let's go out for lunch!"

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering, Jiang Ting's crisp voice came from outside the door.

"coming."

Jiang Ye responded that he was indeed hungry after practicing boxing all morning.

At the dinner table, Jiang Ting looked at Jiang Ye and asked, "Brother, why didn't you come out when I called you last night? You even locked the door. Were you doing something naughty in your room?"

Last night, before entering the Martial Arts Ladder, Jiang Ye locked the door just in case.

"Where did you learn to say those things?"

Jiang Ye glanced at his younger sister.

Jiang Ting said with a grin, "My classmate said that if a boy locks himself in his room and doesn't come out, then he's doing something bad."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but recall his experience of being pressed down on the bed and rubbed by various beauties all night long.

Seeing Jiang Ye deep in thought, Jiang Ting couldn't help but put away her playful smile.

Her little face tense, she asked, "Brother, what did you do? The police won't come and arrest us, will they?"

Seeing her expression, Jiang Ye immediately tapped her on the head and said, "Don't think nonsense, eat!"

"oh oh."

Jiang Ting stuck out her little tongue and obediently started eating.

Jiang Ye glanced at the empty corner of the dining table and thought to himself, "Mom and Dad have both gone out to work."

Although Jiang Dahai is a night-time security guard, he sometimes has to stand guard during the day as well.

As for Li Anping, she took on a part-time job in addition to her main job.

After all, Jiang Ye is currently in a critical period, and his daily food intake is quite large. If he wants to have meat at every meal, the expenses will inevitably be considerable.

"I have achieved mastery of the Star Martial Cultivation Method. As my teacher said, I can now participate in the trials to earn money."

"It's estimated that it will have to wait until next semester."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ye also remembered that tomorrow is the day of the final exam.

"I want to be in the top three in the final exams!"

Jiangye Secret Passage.

If he can get into the top three, he can receive a scholarship of several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, which is very important to him.

Jiang Ye glanced at Xiao Jiangting, who was diligently eating, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

This family lives a simple life, but it's good enough.

He hopes things can continue like this forever.

suddenly.

Jiang Ye seemed to remember something.

He secretly opened the 'Low Martial Arts Achievement' panel to see if he could see Jiang Ting's talent.

And just as he pointed the panel at Jiang Ting.

Two lines of small words immediately appeared on Jiang Ting's head.

[Constitution: Ordinary]

[Endowment: Primitive]

"Is this what it means to have visible talent?"

Jiang Ye's gaze was strange.

He could actually see other people's physiques and talents?
To verify his thoughts, Jiang Ye got up and walked to the window, looking at some passersby downstairs.

Several lines of small characters appeared above the heads of the passersby.

[Physical Constitution: Ordinary (Grade D)]

[Endowment: Primitive]

[Physical Constitution: Ordinary (Grade D)]

[Endowment: Primitive]

"Ok?"

"Strange." Jiang Ye suddenly noticed something: "Why is Jiang Ting's physique only mortal, without any level?"

He looked at Jiang Ting again, and her expression remained the same as before.

[Constitution: Ordinary]

[Endowment: Primitive]

“Strange.” Jiang Ye stroked his chin, suddenly remembering something.

The little girl wasn't Jiang Dahai and his wife's biological child; like him, she was adopted.

Due to health reasons, Jiang Dahai and his wife had no biological children and had raised Jiang Ye as their only offspring for many years. However, when Jiang Ye was five years old, they encountered a little girl who had been abandoned on the street.

At the time, they were in dire financial straits, and Jiang Dahai originally did not want to adopt them.

However, Li Anping was also an orphan since childhood and couldn't bear to see such things, so she forcibly brought him back.

"Could it be that Mom has struck gold? This girl's constitution is extraordinary?"

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

He remembered reading in his textbook that those martial arts prodigies were born with some kind of extraordinary ability.

But Jiang Ting has never shown any special abilities from childhood to adulthood.

"In the end, we are still just mortals."

Jiang Ye sighed inwardly, "No matter how special it is, it can't be that special, especially since it's an innate talent."

In this world, only endowment matters.

Ninety-nine percent of people are destined for mediocrity due to their innate talents.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering this.

Jiang Ting was also secretly observing Jiang Ye. When she saw Jiang Ye pacing back and forth by the window, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Has my brother really done something bad?"

Thinking of this, she clenched her small, white fist, a determined look flashing in her eyes.

"Brother, don't be afraid. If the police come, just say it was me."

Jiang Ting mustered her courage and shouted loudly.

Jiang Ye was taken aback.

Jiang Ting clenched her little fist and said, "I'm just a little kid. Even if I do something bad, the police officers definitely won't do anything to me."

What are you thinking about?

Jiang Ye said silently, "Your brother didn't do anything wrong!"

He walked over and ruffled the little girl's hair, feeling both amused and exasperated.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Ye returned to his room to continue his cultivation.

He only came out once, during dinner time, and then went back to cultivate.

He practiced until 1 a.m. the next day before finally falling into a deep sleep, exhausted.

I wonder if it's because I'm too tired.

Jiang Ye was half asleep, half awake, and in his daze, he seemed to be dreaming of his childhood self.

He was only one year old at the time, and was being carried by a young man towards a magnificent palace.

Jiang Ye noticed that the young man bore a striking resemblance to him, with deep-set eyes and a high, straight nose, almost identical.

The young man looked at the palace in front of him.

The plaque above the hall is inscribed with the four large characters "Starry Sea Divine Path".

In a daze, he heard the young man mutter to himself, "I must succeed."

Then, Jiang Ye saw the young man walk resolutely forward.

The dream was fragmented and intermittent.

The scene shifts, and Jiang Ye discovers that the young man has vanished, while his one-year-old self lies in the darkness, crying loudly.

The night was pitch black, and the endless darkness engulfed him like a tidal wave.

"!!!"

Jiang Ye suddenly woke up from his bed with a start, finding himself covered in cold sweat.

"That strange nightmare again."

Jiang Ye covered his head; he had been having the same nightmare for days.

But this time, the dream was exceptionally vivid, so much so that he remembered it clearly after waking up.

Why do I have these dreams?

Normally, memories from before the age of one should have been forgotten long ago.

But that memory seems to be deeply rooted in Jiang Ye's memory.

He realized that perhaps his growing strength was causing his childhood memories to resurface.

Who is that young man?

Jiang Ye was certain that it wasn't Jiang Dahai.

He recalled the man's appearance, which bore a striking resemblance to his own.

"Could he be my biological father?"

Jiang Ye was slightly startled; this guess was truly astonishing.

Soon, Jiang Ye stopped thinking about these things.

He was a time traveler, so it didn't matter who his biological parents were; what mattered were the people around him.

After breakfast, Jiang Ye took Jiang Ting to Ancheng Elementary School.

At the entrance of Ancheng Elementary School.

Before parting, Jiang Ting suddenly said, "Brother, can you bring me a hot dog today?"

Jiang Ye laughed and said, "Why do you suddenly want to eat a hot dog?"

Jiang Ting said seriously, "My classmate said that if you want to become stronger, you have to eat hot dogs."

"?"

Jiang Ye looked puzzled.

Jiang Ting clenched her little fists and said, "I want to grow up and become stronger quickly so that I can help my mom and dad with their chores."

Jiang Ye patted her little head and laughed, "If there's anything to do, it's your brother who should do it. It's not your turn."

“I can help my brother,” Jiang Ting said, tilting her head back.

Jiang Ye shook his head and smiled, then nodded and said, "I'll bring you a hot dog after school, go on."

"Hehe, thank you, brother. You're so kind."

The little girl hugged his arm, kissed it, and skipped into the school.

Anseong No. 3 Middle School.

As soon as Jiang Ye stepped into the school, he felt a solemn atmosphere.

The campus was not as vibrant as it used to be; the students looked either nervous or expectant as they hurried toward the teaching building.

Simply because today is the day of the final exam.

Jiang Ye walked along while glancing at his control panel.

[Technique]

Star Martial Cultivation Technique: Great Success (5%)

"After a full day of practice yesterday, my cultivation method has improved by 4%."

One day, a 4% increase!

This is the Great Completion stage, which is more than five times more difficult than the Minor Completion stage. Every 1% improvement makes a huge difference.

Even students in the top classes are mostly like this.

"Is this what grade B physique is like?"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but sigh, thinking about all the hardship he had endured in the past.

Once a cultivation method is mastered to a high degree, the difficulty indeed far exceeds that of a minor degree of mastery.

However, for his current Grade B mortal body, cultivation is actually easier than before.

It's like the same advanced math problem.

It's something that even a struggling student can't figure out no matter how hard they try.

But for top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, it's as simple as one plus one equals two.

With a sigh, Jiang Ye arrived at his examination room.

At this moment, there were only about twenty people in the huge classroom.

The exam in the morning was a written exam.

Because of their martial arts training, the students have excellent eyesight. To prevent cheating, the school specifically stipulates that each examinee must be at least three meters apart.

As the student who ranked first in academic subjects, Jiang Ye naturally had no difficulty with the academic exams.

Of course, he did not take it lightly. After finishing the paper, he checked it several times and handed it in only when the bell rang.

Even martial arts universities have a 30% academic performance requirement.

The geniuses in the top classes usually get full marks in academic subjects.

A genius, strong in every aspect.

The cultural exam is over.

After having lunch at the cafeteria, Jiang Ye went straight to the Class 9 martial arts classroom.

Inside the classroom, many students were already studying diligently, making a final push before the exam.

"Pfft!"

Not far away, Li Zhichao fiercely pricked his arm with an injection, preparing for the exam.

Of course, this is a permitted medication within the assessment rules, and injecting it an hour before the assessment will not violate the rules.

It's just that it's more expensive than regular medicine.

"They're really rich," Jiang Ye couldn't help but think to himself.

But he also knew it.

Li Zhichao's parents are both martial arts practitioners specializing in starry sky martial arts and hold high-level positions in large corporations.

In terms of family background, he naturally couldn't compare.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye subconsciously opened the panel and looked at Li Zhichao through it.

The next moment, two lines of small characters appeared above Li Zhichao's head.

[Physical Constitution: Ordinary (Grade C)]

[Endowment: Primitive]

"He's only a C grade?"

Jiang Ye was slightly surprised, but considering Li Zhichao's cultivation speed, he understood.

Li Zhichao had already achieved minor success in his cultivation practice in his first year of high school, and broke through to major success at the beginning of the second semester of his second year.

Although this speed is faster than that of students in regular classes, it is still far behind that of students in honors classes.

Jiang Ye looked at the others and saw that most of them had a D-grade physique.

Only a small number of students in the top ten of the class are in grade C.

"Mediocre people are the majority."

Jiang Ye shook his head and sighed.

He then became somewhat expectant: "I wonder how much my skills have improved in this final exam."

There aren't many exams in the second year of high school; only two are important.

The initial assessment at the start of the semester and the final assessment.

In particular, students who rank in the top ten of their class in the final exams and are from impoverished families can apply for financial aid.

If you can make it into the top three, the amount will be even more substantial.

This chapter contains several subplots; it's safe to read and the rest is very exciting.

P.S.: The protagonist's father has no background or family history, so please don't speculate.
