High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

From 9 a.m. to midnight, Chen Shi and Xue Xin worked non-stop, but they only collected less than 10 tons of wood pulp and only 7 liters of essence. At this rate, they could only collect less than 100 tons in 7 days.

But the young couple wasn't in a hurry.

Since the first day was mainly for practice, and they hadn't adapted beforehand, there's always a learning curve.

That night.

Xiangxing and Shixian sat around the campfire to rest.

The Long family has a total of 36 Dragon Tigers, 36 Dragon Lions, and 36 Dragon Elephants, totaling 108 generals. The competition among them is extremely fierce, and the psychological pressure they face is unimaginable to outsiders.

Before joining the Long family, Xiang Xing and Shi Xian were just kids from a small city. Their only special feature was their dual talents, but their basic talents were too poor, so they should not have been able to become powerful martial artists.

The Long family gave them the opportunity to become gods, and they seized it tightly. For so many years, they have never stepped out of the Long family, which is how they stood out in the fierce competition.

Xiangxing was originally named Li Changxing, and Shixian was originally named Xie Zhixian. Both of their biological parents were highly educated and served as role models for their children from a young age, teaching them through their words and deeds that being a good person is more important than doing good work.

However, over the years they've been with the Long family, their relationship with their biological parents has grown increasingly distant, and they've been arguing more and more. The two of them often tell their parents, "You don't understand, you don't know anything at all, your words only become a huge obstacle for us."

Their parents may have sensed the terror of the Long family, and their final advice to their children was simply to do good deeds and not worry about the future.

As they grew older, they became increasingly unable to distinguish between good and bad. The only thing they were certain of was that they would feel very uneasy when the head of the family held a lavish feast. At one banquet, they saw fear in each other's eyes and then began to huddle together for warmth.

Xiang Xing originally thought that such things would continue throughout his life, but he never expected that Chen Shi would save him.

That's right. Strictly speaking, it was Chen Shi who saved him. After the contest with Chen Shi, the patriarch showed him a gentler side. There were no terrifying threats, no blood tests, nothing. He waved his hand and sent him away, without even taking back the certificate of his Long family identity.

Xiangxing finally made a request that he himself thought was excessive: "Can I take Shixian with me?"

Unexpectedly, the usually stern patriarch simply smiled and nodded.

At that moment, Xiang Xing was somewhat dazed, not because he rarely smiled, but because he remembered the scene when he saw the Human Emperor at the foot of the Tower of Babel.

He felt that the patriarch's gentle demeanor was remarkably similar to that of the man who stood before the tower back then.

Xiang Xing sensed that the head of the family also seemed to be carrying some kind of pressure that others were unaware of.

At least as his martial arts skills improved, he found it increasingly difficult to imagine how the patriarch's legs had been broken. Now, regenerating severed arms was a very easy thing. As the second-in-command of the human race, how could he not be able to repair a pair of legs?

The mysterious truth lies hidden in the distant future. Perhaps only by becoming a true Primordial God can one participate in that unknown war and become a true ally of the family head.

But one thing remains the same: the patriarch has never betrayed the clan. He told everyone long ago that this army of 108 strong men would become the main force to crush the demons.

At this moment, Xiangxing lay peacefully in his sister's arms.

Shih-Hsien's long, dark hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall as she leaned against a tree.

After leaving the Gu field of the Long family, she was finally able to catch her breath, but a strong sense of anxiety still lingered around her, because as an adult, she clearly knew the consequences of being weak.

Therefore, they must work very hard to avoid being truly eliminated.

Perhaps because the hellish training of the past had become a habit, although I wanted to get rid of it all, my body was not used to it when I actually came out, and my mind was not at peace, making it difficult to feel the true beauty.

At this time.

Shi Xian saw Zhang Xuexin's figure dart out from a distance.

She frowned slightly, and finally made a decision.

A few seconds later.

Shi Xian suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xuexin, holding a long, black sword in her hand. She slashed diagonally across four trees with perfect precision, without any fouls.

The strong wind brought by the sword energy made Zhang Xuexin pause in her steps. Her eyes were serious as she thought to herself, "So it's really coming."

She is a genuine senior high school student, one of the top geniuses of our time. Even if Zhang Xuexin and Chen Shi joined forces, they would probably have a hard time competing with her.

She kept thinking of solutions.

Unexpectedly, Lion Wise suddenly said, "Don't move the elephant, or I'll end your race here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed a slash of light with a speed that Zhang Xuexin could hardly see.

The blade's energy sliced ​​through Xuexin's hair, severing the giant tree behind her. Three strands of white hair drifted down, and Zhang Xuexin belatedly realized that her heart rate had soared to 180.

Suppressing her nervousness, she said, "Why would I touch him? There are plenty of trees here to cut down!"

"Hmm." Lion Sage sheathed his sword and said indifferently, "These five trees are for you. I hope you won't go back on your word."

After saying that, she continued working in the pitch-black night, while Xiang Xing lay down and fell asleep by the campfire.

Zhang Xuexin frowned, thinking that this person was really strange, and then headed in another direction.

Around 4:30 a.m.

Shi Xian was so tired that she finally returned to Xiang Xing's side and closed her eyes, but she saw Zhang Xuexin still working tirelessly.

She found it unbelievable.

Why is that?

Can she withstand the pressure from adenosine?

Human drowsiness comes from two things: one is the human body's biological clock, which a powerful martial artist can overcome.

The second point comes from adenosine, a compound that increases the amount of adenosine secreted the longer one remains awake. It can be blocked by stimulants, but long-term use is bad for the body.

Furthermore, sleep is a crucial element for martial artists. Martial artists who are sleep-deprived will be in poor condition, leading to a series of vicious cycles.

All life on this planet must follow this truth.

Therefore, no matter how tired they are from cultivation, the members of the Long family will go to sleep on time.

But Zhang Xuexin wasn't tired at all.

Suddenly, Shi Xian chuckled self-deprecatingly, closed his eyes, and thought to himself that Zhang Xuexin's internal energy celestial phenomenon was the starry sky, and that she was originally a night owl. He had really been overthinking things.

She woke up at nine in the morning in the factory's break room, still covered with a blanket. She sat up abruptly, walked out of the break room, and asked the worker next to her where Xiang Xing was and how she ended up there.

The worker said that around six or seven in the morning, Xiang Xing came over carrying you and asked if there were any beds available, and that's how it happened. As for him, he should be working now.

Shi Xian nodded, whispered a thank you, and turned to leave the factory. But when he looked up, he saw Chen Shi, who was sweating profusely, grinding wood. Zhang Xuexin had just returned, wiped her sweat, handed over the wood, and left again.

She was somewhat surprised and wondered if these two really didn't need to sleep.

Chen Shi wouldn't tell them that he possessed a divine cleansing technique that could alleviate adenosine stress.

The young couple had planned to stay awake for seven days and seven nights, and then go home and sleep for three more days.
