My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 6 Start a small stove
"So, the reason my father has been leaving early and returning late these past few days is because he's looking for a job?"

Jiang Ye stood in front of the wall.

Because of his enhanced physique, his hearing improved, and since the old house wasn't well soundproofed, he could vaguely hear conversations in the next room.

"Dad's actually going to apply for a night security job at the Shadow Hunter Bureau?"

Jiang Ye frowned deeply.

The Shadow Hunter Bureau is an extremely special organization in this world.

It exists specifically to deal with 'Shadow Calamity'.

The calamity caused by shadows has a long history.

Hundreds of years ago, after the blue planet aligned with the stars, people discovered a strange kind of creature that could attach itself to shadows.

It feeds on the host's life force through the host's shadow.

These bizarre creatures are called 'Shadow Clan'.

Anyone targeted by the Shadow Clan, unless they are a martial arts master, is doomed to die.

This thing cannot be killed by technological means; only by using Starry Sky Martial Arts can it be eliminated.

The Shadow Hunter Bureau is an organization specifically tasked with hunting down members of the Shadow Clan.

Most of the martial arts experts in Ancheng are stationed there.

Just as Jiang Dahai said, that was the safest place in the whole city.

However, once the 'Shadow Calamity' occurs, the Shadow Hunting Bureau will become the most dangerous place.

"My dad had no choice but to apply for a job at the Shadow Hunter Bureau."

Jiang Ye also understood his adoptive father's helplessness.

In middle age, with elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, one cannot be without a job.

In particular, Jiang Ye's martial arts training requires enormous expenses.

Putting everything else aside, at least we need to eat meat every day.

The 'Shadow Calamity' not only endangers humans, but also affects animals, causing meat prices to rise year after year.

Regular pork is now selling for 50 yuan per jin (500g).

Not to mention the special pork supplied by Wudao, which costs at least two hundred yuan.

Specially supplied beef and mutton can cost over 500 yuan.

Unfortunately, martial arts training cannot be separated from eating meat.

“Improvement in martial arts cannot be separated from dietary supplements, and eating meat is only the most basic part of dietary supplements,” Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

He heard that those students from wealthy families not only ate large amounts of meat at every meal, but also supplemented their diet with precious martial arts ingredients, such as martial ginseng, whale eyes, and tiger gall.

These are all very expensive, often costing thousands.

The saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" is not just a saying.

Jiang Ye did not have such a family background; his adoptive parents' combined annual salary was less than 100,000 yuan.

Nevertheless, they still ensured that he could eat meat every day.

"I must get into martial arts university."

Jiang Ye's gaze grew increasingly resolute.

He wasn't talking about gratitude, but at least he didn't want to disappoint his parents.

His current goal is to perfect the Star Martial Cultivation Method before the college entrance examination.

"Continue to practice."

Jiang Ye returned to his original spot and resumed his fist stance.

He usually practices until 1 a.m. before falling into a deep sleep.

Today is no exception.

The next morning.

Jiang Ye woke up in bed, rubbing his groggy head.

"Did you have another nightmare?"

During this period, he kept having the same nightmare, and after waking up, he couldn't remember the content of the dream.

Jiang Ye rubbed his head, not caring at all.

He looked at the panel.

[Technique]

Star Martial Arts Cultivation Method: Minor Success (2%)
"After just one night of cultivation, my skill level improved by 1%."

Jiang Ye was somewhat surprised.

A 1% improvement in one night—that's far more efficient than his previous level.

"My cultivation speed seems to have increased. Could this also be an effect of the physical enhancement?"

Physical enhancement can actually improve martial arts aptitude?
Could it be that this so-called physique actually refers to martial arts talent?
This guess is astonishing.

This means that Jiang Ye's martial arts talent has actually improved!

"After achieving minor success, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve further. However, I will break through to major success sooner than planned," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

The Star Martial Cultivation Method has four stages, and the difficulty increases exponentially with each new stage you break through.

The difficulty of going from a minor skill level to a major skill level is twice that of the beginner stage!
The difficulty increases dramatically as one progresses from mastery to perfection.

Jiang Ye originally thought he would only be able to achieve mastery in his senior year of high school, but now he feels that he can achieve this goal before the end of his junior year.

"Eat breakfast."

Jiang Ye got up and walked out the door.

After breakfast, Jiang Ye took his younger sister Jiang Ting to school.

We arrived at the entrance of Ancheng Elementary School, where Jiang Ting studies.

Before parting, the little girl looked at him longingly and said, "Brother, I will miss you."

Jiang Ye patted his head and said, "I'll bring you candy after school."

"Yeah, thank you, brother!"

Jiang Ting walked into the school with a happy expression.

Jiang Ye also headed towards Ancheng No. 3 Middle School to begin his day of cultivation and study.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Jiang Ye repeated the same routine day after day.

Aside from eating, sleeping, and attending academic classes, he spent his time constantly cultivating himself.

During this period, he did not unlock any new achievements.

It is speculated that he needs to reach a certain level of strength, or trigger some bug, to unlock new achievements.

For example, the "Friend of the Ancestor" was obtained by exploiting a bug.

But so far, Jiang Ye has not been able to trigger any new bugs.

Fortunately, his strength improved rapidly.

After his physique was strengthened, Jiang Ye's martial arts aptitude improved, and his cultivation speed also increased slightly.

In addition, Chen Zilu's classes increased comprehension by 30%.

Of course, the most crucial factor was his hard work every day and night.

Jiang Ye's martial arts skills are increasing at a visible rate. March 30th.

In the cultural class.

Jiang Ye, who ranked first in academic subjects, sat in his seat.

He looked at his control panel.

[Technique]

Star Martial Arts Cultivation Method: Minor Success (40%)
"In just one month, the path to great success is already nearly halfway complete."

Jiang Ye felt satisfied.

Previously, he probably wouldn't have been able to improve by even 10% in a month.

That's what it means to have inferior talent.

Most students in regular classes achieve a minor breakthrough in the second semester of their junior year. With a year and a half remaining, they need to dedicate themselves fully to their studies in order to potentially achieve a major breakthrough.

This month of training also allowed him to summarize a pattern.

"For every 10% increase, the difficulty of cultivation will increase significantly. Currently, it takes two days to increase by 1%."

Jiang Ye was not disappointed; on the contrary, he was full of anticipation.

His cultivation speed is already very fast.

Perhaps it won't even take a semester to achieve a breakthrough.

"In this lesson, we will talk about the classification of talents."

At that moment, the teacher's voice caught Jiang Ye's attention.

The academic teacher was a bespectacled woman in her thirties, wearing a black tight-fitting dress and possessing a curvaceous figure.

She then introduced herself as follows:

"Martial arts talent is roughly divided into four levels."

"Primitive, Newborn, Daoist Essence, Extraordinary."

"According to the classification of Starry Sky Martial Arts, there are even higher levels, but we on Blue Star mainly only have these four."

"Among them, the original endowment, also known as the inferior endowment, is the endowment of more than 70% of the people on Earth."

"Talent not only relates to physical strength, but also to the cultivation of Starry Sky Martial Arts. For example, with innate talent, it is even more difficult to embark on the path of Starry Sky Martial Arts."

Jiang Ye's heart stirred slightly.

According to the teacher, martial arts talent is not entirely equivalent to physical constitution.
This overturned some of his previous assumptions.

"Ok?"

Just then, Jiang Ye suddenly noticed that a line of text had appeared on the panel without his knowledge.

——Low-level Achievement System——

Name: Jiang Ye

[Physical Constitution: Ordinary (Grade C)]

[Endowment: Primitive]

[Technique]

Star Martial Arts Cultivation Method: Minor Success (40%)
【Achievement】

Martial arts master, friend of the founder

-

"The system has also separated physique and endowment, so it seems that the two are indeed different."

Jiang Ye thought to himself.

"The second level of endowment is called New Life."

The bespectacled female teacher in the black tight-fitting dress said, "The term 'new student' signifies a new generation of martial arts talent, whose physique is far stronger than their original endowment."

"These kinds of people often have strong martial arts talent, and they can achieve twice the results with half the effort when they practice. For example, students in the top classes all have this kind of talent."

The bespectacled female teacher continued her introduction.

This was also the first time Jiang Ye had learned what kind of students with new talents were like.

"A newborn with exceptional talent, able to perfect his cultivation technique in his second year of high school, and possibly become a Starry Sky Martial Artist in his third year?" Jiang Ye was secretly astonished.

A martial artist of the stars needs to break free from the shackles of life.

That level is too far away for Jiang Ye right now.

No wonder the school separates regular classes from honors classes.

The difference between the two is too great!

"If the newborns already possess such strong innate talents, what about those with Daoist bones and extraordinary abilities?"

Jiang Ye thought to himself.

The sense of satisfaction I felt just now was completely swept away in this moment.

The path of martial arts is long and arduous.

The low-level martial arts achievement system is merely a tool to help him improve.

But if you want to surpass those geniuses and become a true martial arts master, in the end you still have to rely on your own efforts.

Before we knew it, it was time for martial arts class again.

"Pfft!"

As soon as Jiang Ye stepped into the classroom, he saw Li Zhichao not far away, injecting "Lilong Medicine" into his arm.

"It's so rich."

Jiang Ye felt a surge of emotion.

This month alone, Li Zhichao has received acupuncture treatment ten times.

Based on the price of 3,000 yuan per bottle of medicine, that's 30,000 yuan.

This would be an unimaginable expense for his family.

Just as Jiang Ye was secretly sighing.

Chen Zilu, wearing white shoes and socks and with a cool expression, walked in to begin the martial arts class.

Jiang Ye studied diligently, and he improved the most during martial arts classes every day.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Before the martial arts class ended, Chen Zilu suddenly said:
"Jiang Ye, come to my office after lunch."

Jiang Ye was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly replied, "Yes."

Chen Zilu drifted away.

At the same time, the students around Jiang Ye cast somewhat envious glances at him.

"Does Teacher Chen now proactively invite him to give him private lessons?"

"Last time I went to ask for advice, the teacher told me to go back and watch the video myself. Why is Jiang Ye treated so well?"

"Chen Zilu is so good to him, could he have some kind of dirt on the teacher?"

"Stop being so sour. It's because Jiang Ye is handsome and diligent in his cultivation. You're not even as good as him."

"I work from 8 a.m.

"Wang Ye Chao Lie Ma".
