High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

That evening, Chen Shi received a phone call from Wu Su herself.

"Because I roughly know Xie Zhixian's strength, I know she can't lose. And I was indeed a bit anxious last night. They've taken the divine potion and are sleeping now. Don't worry, I'll ensure their competitive condition."

Chen Shi told Xue Xin about this, and everyone was relieved.

For the next three days, Chen Shi and Xue Xin naturally stayed at the Xiu Palace for training.

Every day, many people would run into the couple while they were having lunch or dinner. Their individual training areas were right across from each other. When asked, they said they had booked the training area for 18 days, until the "Gathering of Heroes" event ended.

Sweat doesn't lie.

People were amazed that Chen Shi was so powerful yet worked so hard.

He himself said it wasn't an effort, it was just a habit.

Practicing martial arts seems to have become a part of Chen Shi's life. Occasionally, he would have the idea of ​​taking a break once and for all, and then rest for a while after he became strong enough. But the ridiculous thing is that he can't do it.

Can't do it at all.

He felt anxious during his regular half-day off each week.

It seems that if you don't exercise today, then the day is wasted and loses all meaning.

His master's wife said he's "on the right track." His body has already memorized what he needs to do every day, and now he just needs to adjust his mental state.

A poor mental state can easily lead to "going astray".

Going astray often stems from impatience, which is a terrible state. This doesn't refer to people with procrastination issues, but rather to people like you who have already put in all their effort but are still eager for quick success.

You've given it your all, but you're still anxious. The first thing that surges into your heart is intense anger, followed by a sense of powerlessness. Then you frantically push yourself until you're completely exhausted, which ultimately backfires. You still don't get the result you want, and finally you give up on yourself.

This is the life process of most people like that.

Those with higher levels of spiritual attainment might use various unorthodox methods to improve themselves, eventually transforming into strange life forms, similar to the Long family.

Haste makes waste.

Effort, giving it your all, working yourself to the bone, and going to extremes – these are four different levels. Ideally, one should always remain somewhere between giving it their all and working themselves to the bone; sustainable development is the key.

Chen Shi thought of these things because he was indeed in a great hurry.

A gathering of heroes brought forth exceptional talents like Yao Jingtian, Wu Dongxi, and Xie Zhixian, while Chen Shi could only sit on the sidelines and watch helplessly. This was quite difficult for the proud Chen Shi to accept.

At this point, he was somewhat caught in the state of "going into a trance" that his master's wife had described.

No matter how anxious he is, he can't possibly have the same fighting power as Xie Zhixian in just a few days. He will have enough sense of participation next year, and his performance time will be in his senior year of high school the year after.

This is a very rational reality.

But I'm just anxious.

The threats from the Long family, the humiliation of his father, and being relegated to the sidelines as a spectator—these were all situations he had never experienced before. After all, from the first year of junior high to the life-or-death struggle with Sun Yunling, he had always been the protagonist.

"Ugh!"

Chen Shi sighed again.

After killing Sun Yunling, the enemy turned their attention to someone else, which made him even more anxious.

It's really frustrating to think about.

At this moment, Xuexin's presence greatly encouraged him.

He knew how capable Zhang Xuexin was, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Then he remembered what the old man had said when he gave Zhang Xuexin his parents' belongings.

Live well, love each other well, and grow up slowly.

In the past two days, he also privately messaged Jacky Wong on social media to ask him about his similar experiences.

Jacky Wong asked, puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The stage will be yours sooner or later."

Wang Xueyou didn't understand why Chen Shi was in such a hurry.

Then Chen Shi chatted with Xue Xin for a while.

There's actually only one reason.

Your master has been bullied, and you are powerless to help.

Who would dare to bully Wang Xueyou and his family?

Yes.

It seems to be this one problem.

However, to everyone's surprise, the problem was alleviated somewhat on the last day before the start of the second round.

The master's third brother ran away.

His name is Lin Yongzhi. He is the senior disciple of Wu Dongxi and the eldest disciple of the Xitianmen Master. He is currently at the half-step Martial God level.

The eldest brother, Wei Wushuang, the second brother, Di Yun, and the third brother, Lin Yongzhi, were the three super geniuses of that generation of the Martial Saint Academy, on whom people placed high hopes.

Looking back more than 30 years later, no one expected that Wei Wushuang would disappear, that Di Yun would give up martial arts, and that Lin Yongzhi, the most foolish member of the trio, would become the strongest.

He heard about Di Yun being humiliated by Long Feiyun, and fled from the Western Regions back to the Central Plains. He went straight to the gates of the Long family and, in front of countless Martial Saints and Martial Emperors, pointed his index and middle fingers at Long Feiyun's forehead and fired: "If Brother Wei were still alive, you wouldn't dare utter a single fart!"

"The worst one in the middle generation of the Long family, I've almost forgotten his name, dares to come out and humiliate my second brother, you're really tired of living."

"If you don't kneel down and kowtow to me in public today, you're going to get beaten to death!"

"I'm a fucking bastard!"

Even Di Yun was too embarrassed to go!

But no one stopped Lin Yongzhi!

To everyone's surprise, Long Feiyun actually apologized to Lin Yongzhi and Di Yun.

It is said that Long Feiyun was originally going to accept the challenge, but then Long Tai, the second-in-command of the Long family, came out and had a private conversation with Long Feiyun. He then went out and bowed his head to apologize, but in order not to kowtow, he only offered a bow.

Then the gift eventually ended up in Chen Shi's hands.

A 3S-3S1 functional gem that enhances Yuanba.

Xuexin obtained a total of 20 divine-level martial intent orbs, and only then was the matter considered closed.

Chen Shi quickly learned the underlying reasons.

The Master of the Western Heaven Gate is one of the swing voters in Congress, and the Long family needs their support.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

That evening, Di Yun also invited Xue Xin and Chen Shi to a restaurant.

As soon as the young couple arrived, Uncle Yongzhi was indeed waiting there. He had a full beard, a large belly, and a hearty laugh that revealed two rows of big yellow teeth.

Wu Dongxi and his teammates were also there.

He was very strong, with shoulders even wider than Chen Shi's, like a real double-door refrigerator. He had a dark face and a faint fierceness in his eyes, but overall he looked like a simple, honest farmer, and a rather carefree guy.

Eat whatever you like.

Say whatever you want.

What are you thinking about? Go home and cultivate.

After chatting for a while and having a few drinks, Uncle Yongzhi gave Chen Shi and Xuexin the apology gifts before the young people went back to cultivate.

As they were leaving, Wu Dongxi finally looked at Chen Shi properly. Only then did Chen Shi notice that Wu Dongxi was a bit hunchbacked and had his neck tilted forward, which was quite strange for a powerful traditional martial artist.

"After you graduate, you'll definitely build your own special operations team."

"If you receive any missions from the Western Heavenly Gate, please contact me."

Chen Shi suddenly asked, "Didn't your family support the Long family in Congress?"

Wu Dongxi said, "We support whoever gives us money, and it's just a vote; it doesn't mean we really want to stand on their side."

"Anyway, my senior brother said he'd give me a chance to take care of you more."

After saying that, he patted Chen Shi on the shoulder. His broad palm was covered in calluses, and Chen Shi could feel the prickling sensation even through his T-shirt.

"I'm gone."

But then, Chen Shi suddenly asked, "There's something I'm curious about."

Wu Dongxi: "You speak."

Chen Shi: "The Western Regions have more total wealth than the Northern Continent, so why are they so barren?"

Wu Dongxi: "Because the western region is vast and sparsely populated, all the wealth is concentrated in the Western Heavenly Gate, and people on the periphery cannot be affected."

Chen Shi asked doubtfully, "Can't the people on the periphery be moved to the Western Heavenly Gate?"

Wu Dongxi's eyes suddenly darkened as he asked, "Why should we move?!"

"The Western Continent has always belonged to the human race!"

"From ancient times to the present, we have lived on that Loess Plateau! That is our home!"

"We're not the ones who should leave!"

"They're demons!"
