High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

When Chen Shi left Beiyang, he was awarded a medal by Minister Wang Guanjun.

First-class merit award from the Beiyang Frontier!

The moment Chen Shi received the medal, his eyes lit up. The heavy medal was a hexagonal flower shape with a gold outer ring and a red five-pointed star in the center. The red star had the insignia of the Beiyang Army in the middle and was connected by a three-colored cloth strip, which could be hung on the uniform or directly clipped to the clothes.

Upon receiving the heavy medal, Chen Shi instinctively straightened his back, and couldn't help but ask about it after returning home.

"Isn't it said that the First-Class Merit Citation is very difficult to obtain?"

"I've already received a first-class merit award!?"

The master's wife said with a smile, "Ao Tianxing is a young dragon of the ancestral level. When he grows up, he will be the future lord of the North Sea."

"Killing a ancestral-level being above the Martial Saint level is a first-class merit."

"Killing an ancestor of the Martial Emperor level or above is a special merit."

Chen Shi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about those above the Martial Emperor level, who aren't at the Ancestral level?"

The master's wife said, "Martial Emperors are either at the Ancestral level or the First Rank, while Martial Gods are all at the Ancestral level. Demons without Ancestral bloodlines cannot reach the Demon God realm."

"Just like our Martial Gods, aren't they all blessed with ultimate talents?"

Chen Shi nodded silently.

The teacher's wife added, "There are also differences even among the top-tier students."

"If you kill someone like Bai Lin, you would be a Seven-Star Special Grade, a Seven-Star General, the highest military rank ever held by the human race."

Chen Shi gazed at the boundless blue sky outside the plane, his face full of high spirits. Although many shadows still lingered in his life, he believed that all difficulties would eventually be overcome.

Always be optimistic and positive! Always believe that you are like pure gold, impervious to any test!

During the latter half of the winter break, Chen Shizheng practiced cultivation at home.

The development of the Ironblood Pill is 50% complete, and we aim to reach 100% by the end of the next semester.

At the start of the school year, Chen Shi's blood energy value reached 6521, a rapid improvement.

The main tasks for this semester are twofold: to win the national martial arts tournament team and individual championships.

Chen Shi is very confident in the individual competition; the main challenge will be the team competition, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Eight minor matches.

Four team matches featuring the Shadow of the Demon God, one one-on-one match featuring the Remnant of the God, and three regular challenge matches.

Say no more, say less.

A busy new semester has begun!

As soon as Chen Shi arrived at the school, Lu Ming and the others excitedly surrounded him, curiously asking about what had happened on the Beiyang border!

Chen Shi's slaying of the Holy Son of the North Sea Holy Dragon Clan on the high seas immediately became a trending topic, and the number of views for that strike that pierced through the stars has exceeded 10 billion.

The fact that Chen Shi was eventually awarded a first-class merit is now widely known.

Chen Shi!

Nineteen years old!

The first human to achieve a first-class merit at the age of nineteen!

This poet?

Looking at his team members who were so excited they seemed to have reverted to their ancestral ways, Chen Shi pretended to be human, cleared his throat, and said, "What North Sea Holy Dragon Clan Holy Son? I don't know much about him. I thought he was just a small sea dragon, so I didn't take it too seriously."

"I just did it casually, I didn't expect someone to film it and post it online."

People around them cheered, and the classroom was filled with laughter. Xuexin clapped along with a smile, and everything was wonderful.

Afterwards, everyone carefully examined Chen Shi's First-Class Merit Medal, and lined up one by one to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments to show off.

"Chen Shi is my brother, he's so impressive."

Even the usually mature Sun Yunling couldn't help but say, "Can I take a look at that medal?"

But once they got their hands on it, its true nature was revealed, and their eyes lit up immediately, and they couldn't put it down.

For two or three hours that morning, everyone was talking about the fight against the Hokkaido Saint. After lunch, the training for the new semester officially began in the afternoon.

"Did everyone's cultivation level not fall behind during the winter break?"

Chen Shi quickly conducted the test.

Ok, Ok.

Everyone's elemental and health values ​​have reached around 8300, so no time was wasted.

Then Chen Shi formulated this year's plan.

"My plan is to finish all the smaller tournaments in the first month."

"Otherwise, traveling back and forth by plane every day is exhausting; it's better to just do it all at once!"

"Practicing for two more months before going is just a matter of gaining a few more seconds of extra time, it's really not worth it."

"We should finish all the trivial matters as soon as possible, and then focus all our energy on the team competition!"

Everyone, nod your heads emphatically!

The first team competition will begin a month later, with a total of seven preliminary rounds to select 64 teams, followed by six knockout rounds.

The preliminary rounds use a points system.

Chen Shi quickly learned the team competition scoring rules, which consisted of three main scoring categories.

First, the winner receives 1 points.

Second, map resource points.

Third, kill points.

The team matches in the National Martial Arts League are similar to a 15 vs 15 tower defense game, with three lanes and three defensive towers on each lane. The towers deal extremely high damage, there are no minion waves, and it's all about fighting as soon as you meet someone.

The map is quite complex, with three paths: one in extreme cold, one in lava, and one in a forest. There are more than a dozen types of resources, each with a buff and points, and the map refreshes every five minutes.

The match is limited to 40 minutes. When the time is up, the side with the lower score will be declared the loser.

The preliminary rounds are based on a points system, with the top 64 players automatically advancing.

The fifteen members of the local team can understand the rules of the game with just a glance; it's very simple.

Then comes the individual competition. The members of the 64 teams that made it to the knockout stage will be randomly ranked for one-on-one matches after the team competition. This is even simpler and more straightforward, and you don't even need to watch the matches.

After learning about it, everyone began to enter a state of cultivation!

All the matches were completed in the first month.

Despite having 1000 million Star Points and 1000 Points, Chen Shi still hasn't broken the record with his God's Shadow. He's still outmatched by Xu Yan, but he'll be graduating next year.

Three challenge matches, 800 million each, 800 points, not much.

In the game "Shadow of the Demon God," the team scored around 1.3 points in each of the four matches, totaling over 5 points across the four games.

After these smaller matches were over, Chen Shi glanced at the university standings and immediately felt overwhelmed.

The top-ranked Martial Saint Academy has reached 480 million points.

Tianxia Academy dropped from second to third place, with 366 million.

The Second Wuxiang Academy has 383 million.

Because the original Tian team was gone, the temporarily reorganized team lacked cohesion and was in complete disarray, so the entire academy's points depended on just one team.

The Tianxia Academy is still more than a million points behind the Wusheng Academy, but Chen Shi is not worried. After all, there is still the team competition later. As long as they play well, their points will rise rapidly.

He maintained the same attitude: crush the Martial Saint Academy!

Little did he know that the Martial Saint Academy had already joined forces with all the universities to prepare to snipe the Tianxia Academy team in the team competition, preventing them from even entering the knockout stage!

A month later, the first preliminary round of the Tianxia Academy began.

Their opponents were a high school from the Southern State called the Thousand Mountains Team.

Chen Shi arrived at the competition venue full of confidence, but to his utter surprise, after the waiting time ended and the competition began, the Qianshan team announced their surrender!
