High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

Chen Shi really enjoys his junior high school life, even though it has only just begun.

He had an endless task to complete, a lofty ideal in life, and most importantly, people's attitudes toward him had changed. Although sympathy still remained, envy and even admiration had become more prevalent.

This made him feel satisfied.

Chen Shi practiced his staff techniques all day long.

The stick actually weighs 30 kilograms. It was okay at first, but it got more and more sore and he couldn't hold it. But Di Yun directly used hemp rope to tie his hands to the stick, forcing him to hold it tightly and not let go.

"With your physical gifts, you don't need to worry about getting injured."

Chen Shi nodded.

Di Yun's second sentence suddenly filled Chen Shi with enthusiasm.

"Those people standing in the center of the podium on TV, they've trained like this since they were little!"

"After seeing your dark martial intent, I believe you have a chance to stand on it, but the chances are still very small. You have to use your own hands to increase your chances!"

Di Yun looked at Chen Shi's hands gripping the iron rod.

The intelligent Chen Shi naturally understood!

He practiced under the sun on the lawn, practicing until he lost track of time, until Di Yun called him for dinner.

In one morning, I practiced the short poke correctly 357 times, and was shocked a few times in between. I haven't even started practicing the long poke yet.

After lunch, I practiced for another four and a half hours in the afternoon, and then at 5:30 pm, it was dinner time.

Standing by the swimming pool on the second floor, Di Yun, wearing sunglasses, said, "It's time. Your master's wife is back to cook."

"Come back by yourself if you're hungry."

Chen Shi nodded slightly and said okay, but still practiced until almost six o'clock before finishing.

At the dinner table, Chen Wan'er, dressed casually, was in a great mood, excitedly talking about how much money she had won that day.

Di Yun looked at her with a smile and listened to her. He had been doing this for decades and never seemed to get tired of it.

Suddenly, Chen Wan'er smiled and said, "I also bought your apprentice a new pair of shoes, 28,000."

As she spoke, she took a shoebox out of her shopping bag.

Di Yun chuckled and said, "You've been fooled by that kid. He's got a lot of money."

"Oh?" Chen Wan'er raised an eyebrow.

"He inherited his parents' money. His parents were probably special agents who carried out classified missions, and their surname was Chen."

"Nonsense," Chen Wan'er covered her mouth and laughed, "What else could it be?"

"So that means his parents are very capable military personnel?"

Di Yun nodded and said, "He doesn't seem like an insignificant person."

"From a genetic perspective, neither Black Martial Intent nor SSS-level physical talent can be born from ordinary people."

"Yes." Chen Wan'er nodded gently.

Di Yun: "I plan to ask my brother later."

Chen Wan'er rested her chin on her hand and chuckled, "Sure, let's invite him over for dinner."

Di Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know if he has time."

"He just retired from the front lines two years ago. He manages half of his family affairs with one hand and takes care of his child with the other. Hmm, his child seems to be about the same age as Chen Shi. If there's a chance, I might want to get to know him."

"I'll ask in a couple of days."

At this moment, Chen Shilu passed by and went into the toilet to wash his hands and face.

Di Yun pointed at him and said, "This kid has a fierce streak; he's fearless when he trains."

"I remember when I was a kid, my dad would tie me up and make me stand in the sun for four hours. I'd rather die!"

Chen Wan'er laughed and said, "Young Master is indeed different. I trained very hard when I was a kid."

Di Yun: "Yeah, why were you so hard on yourself back in No. 1 High School?"

Chen Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think? Wasn't it all just to try and get into the same school as you? Do you even remember what you said back then?"

Di Yun: "Huh?"

Chen Wan'er started bringing up old grievances: "You said you found it hard to accept a long-distance relationship."

"So, are we breaking up?"

You said you didn't know.

"Ha, looking back now, you were probably thinking that you'd meet even prettier girls in college, weren't you?"

Di Yun's old face stiffened, and he waved his hand, saying, "It's been so many years."

"Besides, didn't I change my ways later on?"

At this time.

Chen Shi came out, still steaming, but the air conditioner blew over him quickly. He let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Yun, you were a jerk when you were a kid."

Chen Wan'er laughed and said, "Exactly!"

"Here, these are the new shoes your teacher's wife bought for you!"

"Try it on."

Chen Shi took the shoebox, opened it, and his eyes lit up immediately. He thought the shoes were really cool.

"Master's wife, what made you fall for Brother Yun?"

"I really had bad luck in choosing the right person."

Chen Wan'er laughed so hard her waist trembled!

Di Yun's eyebrows shot up in anger. "Are you going to stop practicing martial arts?! Let me tell you, your brother Yun was the school heartthrob back in the day!"

Chen Shi looked up at Di Yun's fleshy face and said with a complicated expression, "It's a fantasy he had before he collapsed from food poisoning."

Di Yun's chest heaved with anger: "What kind of nonsense is this?"

Chen Wan'er sighed, "You're getting old, you don't understand the jokes young people use these days."

"Basically, it means you're dreaming."

Di Yun shrugged: "Believe it or not."

"Let's eat."

During the meal.

Chen Wan'er suddenly asked, "Chen Shi, why do you like practicing martial arts so much? And why do you practice so hard?"

Chen Shi didn't hide anything and replied, "There are a few reasons."

"I actually want to know my parents' identities; I'll have the chance if I become a soldier."

"Secondly, I really love sports. I only attended physical education classes since I was a child, and I slept in other classes. My elementary school physical education teacher even praised me for being as light as a swallow, so I should have some talent in martial arts."

"But the third point should be the most important."

Chen Wan'er, fiddling with her chopsticks, asked, "What?"

Chen Shi said earnestly, "From childhood to adulthood, I've always strived to be number one in anything I'm interested in!"

"You have to be better than everyone around you!"

"Especially in sports!"

Upon hearing this, Di Yun chuckled and said, "I see."

"You were in elementary school sports meets, and you always came in first place in PE class. You know what it feels like to be number one—it's awesome."

"But the most important thing is that you have talent, so it was easy for you to get first place."

"You'll feel in your heart that being number one is something you can easily obtain, something you deserve!"

Chen Shi pondered the two sentences carefully and nodded, saying, "I think so."

Di Yun said seriously, "Let me tell you, before university, all talented people were exactly like you."

"I was the same way when I was young!"

"First, I'm incredibly glamorous, I can show off as much as I want, even the dogs passing by would bow down to me!"

"I've always been number one since I was a child!"

"Until I stepped into that university!"

"Never won first place again!"

"Everyone in that class was the best in their hometown. Unlike your class now, where there are still top students and poor students, there were only top students and super top students, the ultimate top students."

"Being number one is something every student takes for granted in life."

"But the reality is that within a month of entering that class, a group of people, including myself, either became depressed or broke down."

"Because you suddenly realize that you are not the main character, the real main character is someone else, and you may never catch up with that person in your entire life. As for first place, forget about it, you can't even squeeze into the top ten of your class."

"Fortunately, I can still seek comfort from your teacher's wife. The others are truly anxious, confused, and helpless."

After thinking for a while, Chen Shi said, "As the saying goes, gold will always shine, but that place is just too magnificent!"

Di Yun frowned: "What are you saying now?"

"That makes a lot of sense."

Chen Wan'er nodded and said, "Kids these days know much more than we did back then. You can find this kind of thing everywhere online."

Di Yun added, "But I'm not telling you this to undermine your confidence."

"On the contrary, I hope that after each failure and setback, you can get back up and strive for first place, instead of giving up on yourself!"

"So what you just said isn't entirely true!"

"Only gold that can withstand the test of fire is true gold!"
