High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

After returning to Jiangzhou, Xuexin was happy every day, like an optimistic and positive little girl.

Chen Shi knew she was looking forward to the day she would marry him, and she had secretly begun to study what they should do after the wedding.

He was actually very thoughtful, but there were some things he just couldn't think of. His master's wife had strictly forbidden him from doing anything before he turned eighteen. Ever since the incident when he attempted to kill someone in the street when he was a child, Chen Shi had become very honest and well-behaved.

He only realized the importance of following the rules after almost losing everything. Besides, Xuexin probably wouldn't be so bold, so he didn't think about it that way.

Suddenly one day, Xuexin told herself no, she couldn't get married!

Because she needed to find a bridesmaid, but Ji-hyun wasn't there!

Let's wait for her to come back; it's only a matter of time anyway.

Chen Shi felt a little regretful because he had already imagined her wearing a white wedding dress, which would have made her look incredibly beautiful.

However, it would indeed be a pity if a close friend were not around.

Hold on.

Next.

Chen Shi's high school career is left with only one major challenge: the upcoming state tournament.

He will participate in the Jiangzhou state competition as a second-year high school student. His opponent is Long Shi Rui, the third-ranked player of Long Shi Rui's third team. He is ranked one place higher than Long Shi Xuan and should not be much stronger, but Chen Shi is still not sure.

When he faced the four members of the Dragon Lions in the Chongshan Challenge, he was uncertain because their strength was indeed a level above his own!

Even though they won in the end, they still couldn't build up Chen Shi's confidence in fighting across the border.

Because the victory was hard-won, and besides, it was a one-on-one duel in the end, not a true one against four.

He always felt that his cultivation was not enough and there was still too much to learn. He always underestimated his own strength while overestimating his opponent. Chen Wan'er saw this very clearly, but she didn't say anything because it was a good thing. To explain it with a moral idiom, it means being neither arrogant nor impatient.

Chen Shi's personality traits stem from the tough battle royale he fought in his third year of junior high school. It was the first time in his life that he felt proud of his abilities, and also the first time he almost lost a match.

He learned from that incident that giving it his all doesn't mean he can dominate the entire field, because his opponents are also training with all their might.

Now, those who can stand before Chen Shi and become his opponents are all powerful figures who will be able to stand alone and dominate the battlefield in the future; none of them are simple characters.

Including Long Shixuan, after the final blow, Chen Shi won, but he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to resist the natural disaster. If Xue Xin hadn't rushed out and given him a silver bone energy bar, he wouldn't have been able to unleash the final soaring Eternal Emperor Star.

Chen Shi's mind was filled with these real-world examples, which ultimately boiled down to one sentence: not strong enough.

I'm not strong enough.

During this period, Chen Shi must maximize his strength.

Auctions will be the first to be affected.

This time, Chen Shi once again used his absolute wealth to acquire 10 divine-level Qi Gong beads, 10 divine-level potions, 5 seven-day Dream Painting scrolls, and 10 divine-level martial intent beads for Xue Xin!

The auction was very intense.

Chen Shi spent nearly 5000 million to acquire these 35 resources, averaging more than 160 million per god-level resource.

There are only five scrolls in the "Dream Weaver" series because he received a message from Jacky Wong while bidding against a mysterious person.

"Brother, let's split this in half."

He needs it too, and he has the money.

Luckily, he was an elemental martial artist, not a traditional martial artist, otherwise they would have had to split everything in half.

Fortunately, he won the overall championship of the All-Star Tournament; otherwise, he would have been no match for the champion of that year.

Furthermore, everyone also judged Chen Shi to be the most charitable champion of the All-Star Gathering.

Because he only buys things like god-level potions. Previous champions would select several super resources, such as scrolls for comprehending god-level internal skills, extremely powerful weapons, or even superpower evolution orbs that are hard to buy.

Whether they need it or not, past champions will buy it because they can resell it.

These things might not be available next year; once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever.

The students face challenges every year and need to strengthen their abilities, so they basically have to pay higher prices privately to buy them.

In their eyes, Chen Shi was already considered a very good person, only caring about himself and not harming others.

Chen Shi didn't dislike being a middleman; after all, who doesn't like money? But he genuinely didn't know how, was afraid of losing money, and felt he lacked business acumen, so he decided to be honest and avoid reckless ventures, preferring to play it safe.

Xuexin, on the other hand, saved her money and didn't spend it.

Because after entering university, a new ultimate academic star shop will be introduced. This used to exist, but it was exclusive to students of the four major colleges. When Master went to university, a new welfare currency was also introduced, specifically for high-achieving students of the four major colleges, allowing them to purchase the resources they needed in a university shop.

The Academic Star System evolved from the University Shop, which dealt a huge blow to the other three major academies besides the Martial Saint Academy. In the past, the main reason why many students went to the other three major academies was to be able to enter the University Shop. Now, with the Academic Star System, it doesn't matter where they go.

Furthermore, universities below the top four universities also offer high prices to recruit top students, resulting in another round of student poaching.

The four academies won't remain the same four forever. If there are more outstanding successors, they can squeeze into the top, which is why the three academies have declined!

With tigers in front, wolves behind, and the Star Learning System adding insult to injury, things are getting increasingly difficult.

But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Tenkain has only declined compared to its state decades ago; it is not truly so poor that it cannot afford to eat.

Dean Zhou Beihai's low spirits were not because the school had reached a dead end, nor was it going to collapse. But what is the most painful thing in the world? It is watching yourself grow weaker day by day and being powerless to do anything about it.

A life where you can see the end from the beginning will make you lose all your fighting spirit and all your strength.

But Zhou Beihai was really in high spirits today.

Because he received a series of wonderful news during this period.

One of them is from Jiang Cheng.

One of them is from Jacky Wong.

A son of the far north, a son of the Beiyang Army, they both want to come!

Jacky Wong's reason was: "I don't want to be Chen Shi's opponent at the National Martial Arts Tournament."

Jiang Cheng's reasoning was: "Revitalizing the Northern Frontier is my inescapable duty!"

All done.

Everything is complete.

The team members for the National Martial Arts Tournament's World Team were all selected.

Chen Shi, Wang Xueyou, Jiang Cheng, Zhang Xuexin.

That's enough, far enough.

Zhou Beihai also asked Jiang Cheng, "Where's Mu Yuan? Isn't she coming? We can discuss any contract you want."

Jiang Cheng curled his lip and said, "That old woman is a special recruit from the Women's Academy, there's no way she could come."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Beihai realized, "Oh right, Mu Yuan is Zhou Ruo's personal disciple, how could she possibly come here?"

Upon hearing all this, Chen Shi's first reaction was to ask Jiang Cheng, "Can you accept a long-distance relationship?"

Jiang Cheng blurted out as if on cue, "What the hell is that?!"

"Hey Lao Chen, you don't actually think I'm dating her, do you?"

Jacky Wong: "?"

"I see them together every day."

Jiang Cheng said with a dark face, "That's because my master and the woman in red are husband and wife!"

Wang Xueyou took a deep drag of his cigarette and said in a low voice, "Then you can be husband and wife with Mu Yuan too."

Jiang Cheng: "Absolutely impossible. My future wife will definitely be a gentle, virtuous, and sweet girl with a perfect figure, the kind who will call me Brother Jiang Cheng every day. I don't care about a shrew like Mu Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi subconsciously glanced at Xue Xin beside him.

Xuexin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, looking absolutely beautiful.
