High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

The next day, Chen Wan'er began to study the Glazed Crystal Demon and the Cleansing Technique.

Chen Shi immediately purchased an Evolution Orb with support-type superpowers, upgraded his Cleansing Technique to S-rank, and then began conducting human experiments.

How long should I stay up and how long should I sleep to maximize my time utilization?

The final result is out.

The best sleep schedule is to stay up for 48 hours and sleep for 12 hours!

All of my physical indicators are perfectly normal, and the medication is being absorbed normally!

Xuexin was the same; she could even stay awake longer, perhaps because her internal energy made her so energetic at night.

The two of them made a huge increase in their time utilization, and their speed in learning basic skills also began to rise significantly.

This greatly encouraged Chen Shi.

He finally found a cultivation method that would allow him to steadily widen the gap between himself and his peers!

The first thing is to consume the divine potion and the Dream Weaver scroll!

Furthermore, Chen Shi felt that as his cultivation level and proficiency with the Cleansing Technique improved, he could endure even longer, as the Cleansing Technique could restore his nervous system!

So Chen Shi spent another 50 to upgrade the Cleansing Technique to SS level!

Sure enough, time utilization increased once again.

Chen Shi can now train continuously for 50 hours and only needs to sleep for 10 hours to recover all his physical indicators.

Only one thing limited him—physical ability.

After 50 hours of continuous high-intensity forging, even four permanent magnet lines couldn't withstand it!

But Chen Shigao will have five items by the end of the second semester, at which point his time utilization rate can soar once again.

At this moment, something extraordinary happened.

Zhang Xuexin was even more resilient than him, but this might be because her specialized training focused on martial arts proficiency, which doesn't require much physical strength.

Furthermore, as her internal strength improved, she felt less and less tired at night.

Chen Shi asked her, "When will the bones turn silver?"

Zhang Xuexin said it might not be that fast. She felt that she could not fully advance to Silver Bone until the end of the first semester of her second year of high school. Although she did not have Silver Bone now, her bone hardness was not much lower than Chen Shi's Black Weapon.

Then he would go to see Xie Zhixian every week, and each time he could increase his martial intent by about 100 points and dissipate some of his dark blood. However, Chen Shi felt that the black monster was still very large, and he didn't know when he would be able to completely suppress it. But it was good that his strength was steadily improving.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The popularity of this gathering of talents is growing.

Chen Shi also understood why the competition was so lively.

Because the manager of the Elite Gathering League is named Qin Nianzhen, and it is said that she is a woman with an even stronger aura than the woman in red.

It ranks fifth in Congress.

Her position among humans is Minister of Public Prosecution. Who does she prosecute? All the Guard Bureaus.

The Human Guard Bureau has to operate under her watchful eye. Although she has no authority to interfere in its operations, she can kill you if you make a mistake.

It is said that Qin Nianzhen is so wealthy that she is richer than a country.

It's probably because those guards have to curry favor with her and give her money every day, but no one can check these accounts. What everyone knows is that Qin Nianzhen is in charge of all the gambling, prostitution, and drugs in the entire human race.

Almost every city has a dark street, and the mastermind behind it is Qin Nianzhen.

"A Gathering of Heroes" is the league hosted by Qin Nianzhen.

Her source of income is direct and violent, summed up in one word—gambling.

She guarantees that the competition is absolutely fair and there is no behind-the-scenes manipulation. Everyone in the human race, from generals to commoners, can participate in her betting game and bet on which team will win.

She acts as the bookmaker, but she doesn't make money from gambling; she makes money from transaction fees.

She takes a 10% cut from the winner of every bet.

Of this 10% handling fee, at least 5% will be directly used as bonuses for the Elite Gathering.

Last year's Star Learning Competition champion received a prize of 1.35 million Star Learning Points, which was divided among the four members of the team.

This number completely stunned Chen Shi. One person could earn over 3000 million per match?!

Di Yun said, "Judging from your naive appearance, this is actually a small amount. Last year, Xu Yan participated in the competition, and the championship was almost a foregone conclusion. The amount of money involved was not large."

"That's how her bonus was calculated."

"The competition is divided into two parts. The first part is a seven-day preliminary round."

"For seven days, your team will be randomly matched with an opponent each day. The prize money for winning is fixed, about 100 million for each game, so each person will receive about 25."

"The funds of gamblers who enter the market during this period will not be allocated to the prize pool."

"Seven days later, the top 64 teams will advance to the knockout stage."

"Then the numbers in your prize pool will no longer be fixed. Qin Lao will put a portion of the handling fee into the prize pool of your 32 winning groups according to a certain percentage. Last year, in the first round, it seems that one person could get more than 200 million, one team could get 800 million, and with 32 teams, the total prize money would be more than 3 million. How terrifying."

"The total prize pool for the second round is also around 300 million, which is split among the 16 winners, with each team receiving over 20 million."

"In the third round as well, the eight teams split over 300 million."

"Then the finals went straight to 1.3 million, because there was no suspense anymore, and very few people came in."

Chen Shi took a deep breath and said, "If there's no suspense, then bet on Xu Yan."

Di Yun shook his head and said, "The odds are very low. It seems like you can only win 110 yuan with 100 yuan, and if you lose 100 yuan, you get the full amount back!"

"You don't understand the gambler's psychology. Most people won't bet on these low-risk, high-return games. They bet on high-odds games, hoping to win big and achieve financial freedom in one go. That's the mindset of most gamblers!"

"Don't become a gambler in the future. Let me tell you, gamblers will end up with nothing!"

Chen Shi asked with a smile, "Then aren't you going to put me under arrest?"

Di Yun joked, "I'll bet on you to make it into the top 64? I can bet a little bit."

Chen Shi snorted, "Champion!"

Di Yun's face stiffened. "Have you been sleeping too little and damaged your brain?" he asked.

"It's not too late, I'll go wash up and get some more sleep."

"It's not that you don't trust me, Master!" Chen Shi exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"I don't believe you for a second," Di Yun chuckled. "Your team leader, Xie Zhixian, is the biggest destabilizing factor!"

"She's quite capable," Chen Shi said.

"It's not about how strong she is. You said it yourself, her Primordial God Bloodline will follow the same path of internalization as yours."

"Won't she encounter other members of the Dragon family on the battlefield?"

"They've completely gone mad while you're just sitting there internalizing it with your eyes closed?"

"What are you hitting me for?"

"No matter how strong she is, the skill gap between her and others won't be that big. For example, the gap between Xiang Xing and you back then was that he couldn't beat you even after dozens of rounds of hitting a wooden dummy. That's too weak."

"Anyone who makes it to the finals isn't this bad!"

"Anyway, the Primordial God is too unstable, I would never gamble on it."

"If we lose, we'll mortgage this house, and you won't even have a home to go back to. Let's see if you'll still be laughing then."

"Go practice your skills properly."

Chen Shi pursed his lips and left.
