Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Rankings, forums, and even personal transactions between martial artists.

All transactions can be conducted through this "Martial Arts Shop Encyclopedia Ranking," but for individual transactions, the official entity, the Martial Arts Shop, will charge a certain handling fee.

"purchase!"

Zhang Chaoqiang was domineering and decisive.

Another 20 yuan is needed to buy the first-order crystal cores that I just bought for my parents to use as earrings, tongue studs, and navel studs. More than ten of them only cost tens of thousands of yuan.

With the addition of the Screaming Chicken Crystal Core and some cultivation resources, I've raised about 20.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang cannot simply take the screaming chicken away.

The purchase of rare crystal cores requires completing a specific task.

That is, to shoot a promotional video for the Martial Arts Shop...

"This martial arts shop really knows how to do business..."

Old Chen complained from the side.

So the next afternoon, a promotional video of Zhang Chaoqiang demonstrating his martial arts skills appeared at the entrance of the martial arts shop.

Time flies, and half a month has passed since Zhang Chaoqiang absorbed the Screaming Chicken Crystal Core.

He finally reached the end of his adolescence...

Chapter 136 A Weak Physical Body in Urgent Need of Strengthening

[Adolescence]: Countdown: 0 years, 0 months, 0 days

【debuff】: Emotions are amplified dramatically, which is typical of adolescents during puberty.

Adolescence has ended, growth value +2000!

With a jolt in his mind, Zhang Chaoqiang knew that his adolescence was over.

However, knowing and feeling are two different things. He didn't feel much because his super adaptability over the past three years had allowed him to adapt to and control these so-called debuffs.

Aside from producing significant effects at the beginning, as time goes on, one gradually becomes familiar with or even completely understands and becomes immune.

As for the additional limited tasks during adolescence, Zhang Chaoqiang has already completed all of them: [Dark Humor], [Showing Off], and [Stealing the Show].

All physical indicators were calculated when the test was completed previously.

The body's three-dimensional index increased by 0.2.

The most significant change is the increase in growth value.

[Growth Value]: Far ahead of 3570/6000

【身体素质】：精神8.40/20，内脏8.21/22，躯体8.45/20。

If we take 10 as the average physical fitness level of an average adult in the world.

So, Zhang Chaoqiang is close to this state.

Advancing his growth value can improve his physical abilities in various aspects, but this also means that his starting point is actually lower than anyone else's.

Otherwise, the initial growth value wouldn't be such a bizarre and unpredictable entry as "on the verge of death."

However, his body is different from ordinary people... He can accept more spiritual energy than usual, which is something that Zhang Chaoqiang has clearly noticed since he grew up step by step.

In terms of physical fitness, he would be no match for any high school student from a martial arts school.

Yes, the average adult score is 10, and Zhang Chaoqiang, who is under 13 years old, has reached the range of 8.30 in the three dimensions index, which is indeed commendable.

But the damn thing is, he's a real martial artist...

If a martial artist is reduced to being compared to an ordinary, normal person, then he might as well be dead.

For martial artists who generally cultivate martial arts, martial skills, combat abilities, physical fitness, and spiritual power are all mutually reinforcing and mutually promoting.

However, what Zhang Chaoqiang is certain of now is that, in the entire Yuhua Martial Arts School high school division, apart from Tan Yue, there is no other one.

Perhaps the worst thing is my physical fitness; in layman's terms, it's my physical strength.

On the other hand, it seems that he doesn't really need his physical abilities, so he hasn't paid much attention to them before. But if there's an opportunity to improve his physical attributes, he will seize it.

He spent a lot on medicine, achieved many goals, and continued his cultivation.

"My body is still too weak..."

Zhang Chaoqiang realized once again the fact that he was a mage. That is, the strength of his spiritual power and skills far exceeded the strength of his physical body.

I may be physically stronger than my peers, but there is still a significant difference when I face high school students.

It's just that this difference hasn't yet manifested itself in front of the general public; the defensive techniques previously used against high school students or monsters...

Basically, they all rely on [diffusion] to buffer and alleviate pain and damage.

Therefore, people believe that Zhang Chaoqiang has developed a body of steel.

He possesses the ability to be invulnerable to swords and spears without relying on martial arts skills.

This was indeed a beautiful misunderstanding.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang believed that he needed to quickly improve his physical fitness.

His overall strength, in terms of physical power, only accounts for less than 20% of the comprehensive factors. The majority of the strength comes from skills, spiritual power intensity, spiritual power control, and so on.

No matter what it is, diligent study and practice are absolutely the foundation for improving one's abilities.

Just like a reading pen, you can point to where you don't understand or where you're weak, and then specifically train that area.

A significantly higher growth value indicates a higher learning ability and greater benefits from practice.

So, as winter break approached, Zhang Chaoqiang began to get restless.

He personally experimented and found that by discarding his martial arts skills, spiritual power, and special abilities, and relying solely on hand-to-hand combat, he could slightly improve his physical three-dimensional index.

As for the extent of the improvement, it's estimated that after three full days of practice, the body and internal organs would each improve by 0.01...

As for the spirit, it can be improved by 0.01 points by meditating and reflecting after a full day of hand-to-hand combat, sitting cross-legged for two or three days.

This isn't something that's easy to improve. Keep in mind that achieving a growth goal during puberty only results in a mere 0.02 increase in a single statistic…

Fine, Zhang Chaoqiang accepted it; the improvement speed could be slow.

It's better than standing still and not improving. As for spiritual power, abilities, and martial arts skills, I've already reached a certain level. Right now, I need to focus on improving my physical fitness.

As if hearing Zhang Chaoqiang's inner voice, the long-dormant growth goal finally responded to the call for slow improvement in physical stats.

[Activate Body]: Spiritual power cannot be used. For every 30 formal battles fought purely with physical strength against martial artists, internal organs gain +0.02. 0/25

[Fleshly Body Bodhisattva]: For every 100 genuine strikes to the body by a martial artist, the body's strength increases by 0.03. 0/15

[100-Man Kill or Being Killed by 100]: For every 100 victories or defeats in purely serious physical combat against different martial arts opponents, your Spirit increases by 0.03. 0/15

"This……"

Zhang Chaoqiang had to admit that he was somewhat excited, because he had originally planned to conduct targeted training or combat to improve his physical physique.

Right now, it's more like a growth goal that can be achieved incidentally.

These three growth goals are quite relevant to Zhang Chaoqiang's current physical strength, and do not require him to necessarily defeat his opponent.

Based on that alone, these tasks won't be difficult!

But the problem is coming.

Who would willingly engage in hand-to-hand combat with themselves?

Who would want to fight against themselves?

That evening, they went to Fenghua Street.

There are several martial arts schools on Fenghua Street, two kilometers north of Pingshui Subdistrict.

The instructors and the headmaster are second-level martial artists. They usually recruit ordinary people and teach them some life-saving martial arts techniques. After all, at their level, they are equivalent to senior high school students at Yuhua Martial Arts School.

If they haven't even mastered the techniques themselves, they have no right to instruct others on martial arts. Therefore, ordinary people become their target group.

When Zhang Chaoqiang entered the martial arts school and stated his combat needs…

"Hand-to-hand combat?"

Then, Zhang Chaoqiang was asked to leave the martial arts school, and the school director forced several bags of fruit and a red envelope into his hands.

After Zhang Chaoqiang left, puzzled, the curator took out his phone and opened the "Martial Arts Shop Encyclopedia Ranking" app. During the app's loading process, there was a video that was forcibly viewed.

This video is the promotional video that Zhang Chaoqiang filmed for the commercial center... Due to privacy reasons, Zhang Chaoqiang's identity was not revealed.

Zhang Chaoqiang is not famous in every street and alley.

Although the curator and instructors didn't know Zhang Chaoqiang personally, the fact that this kid was able to shoot a promotional video for the official martial arts shop showed...

"This kid is definitely not ordinary; he's probably quite strong. He came in wanting to challenge me right away. Looks like he's here specifically to cause trouble. I'd better spend some money to send him away quickly, or it'll damage the martial arts school's reputation..."

After going back and forth, Zhang Chaoqiang opened the red envelope and found that it contained several thousand yuan...

They wanted to turn back, but found that the martial arts school had already closed down.

"This is tricky. People who don't know me are unwilling to fight me hand-to-hand. I can only pin my hopes on my classmates."

Every time I came over the weekend, the curator would have already observed Zhang Chaoqiang appearing from the street corner on the CCTV surveillance footage.

Then they immediately and hastily closed down the business.

"Why is this kid still haunting us? Is he determined to challenge this martial arts school?" It's common for rival schools to send people to challenge each other in a business war.

The curator was clearly terrified of being challenged and even more afraid of a student successfully causing trouble, so he had no choice but to avoid it.

Several times, Zhang Chaoqiang failed to return the money, keeping the several thousand yuan for nothing.

It's said that martial artists' money comes from thin air; they can easily make several thousand dollars.

That night, his keen ears overheard Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the next room.

I feel itchy in my heart.

If only his parents were really fighting, then Zhang Chaoqiang could join them too.

Zhang Chaoqiang shifted his focus, and during class on Monday, he paid attention to his deskmate, Tan Yue, who was reciting the encyclopedia of monsters.

Tan Yue is not suitable; there is a difference between men and women.
