High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

Chen Shi took another deep breath in front of the camera.

He chuckled and said, "The preliminary round of the Jiangzhou Prefecture Tournament starts in an hour."

"I'm about to head to the competition venue for my first round of matches."

"I've been competing since I was a child."

"I've gotten used to arriving at a certain place in Jiangzhou every day for a certain competition."

"So I thought today would just be another ordinary day."

"Until I suddenly realized that this was the Jiangzhou state competition."

"After this, my goal for next year is the Central State Championship."

"After next year, I will head to the Northern Continent and go to the Tianxia Academy."

"After graduating from the Tenka Academy, I will go directly to the border to become a soldier."

"So this may be the last time I stand on this land and show it to everyone."

These words brought an involuntary sadness to the faces of the audience and reporters present.

Is there a next time?

Once on the battlefield, will Chen Shi be able to maintain his current momentum and advance with unstoppable force?

Will there ever be a day when I can come back?

This is why everyone is sad, and also why Chen Shi hesitated to speak before he could.

Even now, Chen Shi has chosen to face this outcome.

"I never imagined time would pass so quickly."

"In the blink of an eye, I have transformed from a little child into a warrior."

"I saw a fan holding up a photo of me when I was a child."

Chen Shi stared intently at the photo held high in the stands in the distance. The bald boy was standing on the badminton court, swinging his arms with all his might, not giving up even though he was covered in blood.

Those were memories that Chen Shi himself rarely thought about, but he never expected that someone would remember them even more carefully than he did.

A group of complete strangers witnessed his journey, stood before him, held up photos of his past glories, and told stories about the boy they loved most.

Chen Shi took another deep breath and said, "Thank you for remembering me, and I will always remember you!"

"No matter what, Jiangzhou will always be my hometown, this will always be my home, and all of you can always say that Chen Shi is a Jiangzhou native."

"That's without a doubt!"

"Whether today, tomorrow, or the distant future, Chen Shi will always stand before Jiangzhou!"

"This state tournament is my farewell match in Jiangzhou."

"I will surely return victorious!"

Thank you everyone for your support!

"Chen Shi will never let you down!"

That's all for this.

Chen Shi bowed deeply to the crowd, then turned and left.

then.

The hashtag "Chen Shi's farewell match in Jiangzhou" immediately topped the trending searches on Jiangzhou's social media charts.

Many people who had watched Chen Shi grow up, especially the people of Linshan City, were filled with even stronger emotions at this moment!

They stayed glued to their television sets, eagerly awaiting Chen Shi's performance in the first qualifying match.

There were also some young couples who got married and had children when Chen Shi was born. This tenacious and indomitable boy who shouted on the battlefield gave them a lot of courage.

Now that their child is of elementary school age, they turn on the TV, press their child's head down, and point at the screen, saying, "If you want to become a martial artist, then he is your role model!"

Chen Shi, who spends his days working in isolation, has no idea how many people regard him as a role model and spiritual nourishment for various reasons.

Because Chen Shi always takes on greater challenges, and although he doesn't always win decisively, he ultimately succeeds, which inspires many people.

People love watching him sweat it out on stage, showcasing his broad physique and his fiery passion.

The same goes for today.

In the first preliminary round, Chen Shi's opponent was a traditional martial arts master from Jiangzhou.

The other party was very nervous because he knew that he was not on the same level as Chen Shi, even though he was a year older.

Chen Shi was naturally relaxed and didn't immediately kill anyone at the start. Instead, he smiled and let his opponent make the move.

Wang Xueyou's competition gave him great inspiration.

What is star point learning?

It's a perk.

The clan is giving money to our generation.

Where did this money come from?

Isn't all wealth the result of the people's hard work in building and producing it?

As the most outstanding students, we must include a performance element in our battles to provide some entertainment for those who have put in the effort.

This is what we children can do for society right now.

So Chen Shi started using a performative fighting style. It wasn't that he was pretending to be unable to win, but rather that he deliberately showed off some fancy staff techniques that he couldn't use in actual combat.

For example, with a free-throwing spinning baton, a casual exertion of force can cause the baton to circle around the opponent's body and return to the user's hand, only startling the opponent without actually harming them.

In the end, the opponent tried everything but failed to harm Chen Shi, and chose to surrender.

Chen Shi fought in the same way for the next few days of the preliminary rounds. The matches were very entertaining, with beautiful moves that drew applause from the audience.

Longshirui saw all of this.

He watched Chen Shi laughing on the battlefield, receiving applause from the crowd, and then thought of the brothers he had lost because of him. He became increasingly angry, even venting his anger by quickly killing his opponents in the qualifiers.

However, he did not receive much attention, and even less praise.

It seems that Chen Shi is the only protagonist in this Jiangzhou prefectural competition.

Days passed by like this.

Chen Shih plays each match with great ease, and after each match he chats with everyone and signs autographs for his fans as he leaves the arena, dedicating a small portion of his time to responding to everyone's support.

This made him feel satisfied and happy.

Soon, the preliminary rounds ended, and the knockout stage began.

His battles have not encountered too many difficulties.

Midway through, Chen Shi encountered a contestant named Hong Lianbing, who was quite strong and talented, causing him some trouble. However, when Chen Shi fully entered his battle mode, Hong Lianbing was defeated by Chen Shi in a very short time.

The prize money for the state tournament is very generous.

The first round of the knockout stage costs 30.

The second round is 60.

The third round is 180 million.

The fourth round was 360 million.

The fifth round was 720 million.

The sixth night cost 1440 million.

The seventh round was worth 2880 million.

If they can win the state championship, the total prize money is 5500 million.

Chen Shi's total deposits will reach 1.8 million.

Chen Shi has now reached the fourth round.

He encountered a very powerful dark horse named Gao Shengtian.

Chen Shi felt something was off about this person the moment he appeared.

First of all, his appearance doesn't resemble that of someone from the North Continent.

Secondly, his first reaction upon seeing himself was to grin, as if he were very excited.

Most importantly, Chen Shi did indeed feel a strong sense of pressure from this person's aura.

As the barrier screen slowly descended, Gao Shengtian took the initiative to say something to Chen Shi that left everyone scratching their heads.

"Some fools think they are chosen ones and enjoy all the good things in life."

Little did he know that everything he was experiencing now was simply a stroke of luck.

"The so-called blood of the Primordial God is nothing more than a failed product left over from history. In the face of truly perfect life, it is no different from an ant."

Gao Shengtian licked his lips.

Chen Shi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

Gao Shengtian smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm just an unknown nobody."

"No need for you to remember."

Chen Shi chuckled and said, "Indeed, I've never heard of this name before."

Gao Shengtian sneered, "You'll remember this from today onwards."

"I hope so." Chen Shi's eyes turned cold as he finished speaking, and he entered battle mode.
