Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qiu did not choose to continue through the boundary gate, giving Li Chun and the others time to settle down.

The Ironbeak Crows in Zone 2 can provide a lot of proficiency to the White Crane Stakes, and the Shadow Sacs produced by the Shadow Leopard can be kept to improve Li Chun's strength.

The stronger Li Chun is, the faster he can acquire resources in the other world.

During those three days, Lu Qiu discovered a mutated species that was extremely suitable for practicing Tiger Style Fist—the Stone Armored Pangolin.

Among the mutated species that are berserk all day long, the Stone Armored Pangolin is exceptionally gentle, only attacking any creature that intrudes into its territory.

This is related to the direction of its mutation.

It is covered in armor and has the strongest defense among all the mutants in Zone 2. The strength of its armor plates is close to that of Grade C alloy.

However, this also makes them slow to move, and their attacks mainly rely on scrambling with their front paws and rolling and ramming when curled up.

Once it encounters a dangerous enemy, it immediately curls up into a hard ball, and no mutant will waste its time on it.

The armor plates were incredibly hard; it would take Longke more than ten attacks to crack them when he used the Azure Extreme Hand, but they were precisely countered by Lu Qiu's penetrating force.

The pangolin's tendency to curl up in danger makes it a natural living training ground for Tiger Style Boxing.

April 17th, Friday, 4 PM.

Lu Qiu slammed a heavy punch into the pangolin's armor plates. As the pangolin opened its body in pain, a flash of cold light appeared on his longsword, slicing open its soft throat, which was not covered by armor plates.

Tiger Form Fist Proficiency +1

Lu Qiu opened the panel to check the final status.

Name: Lu Qiu

Qi and Blood: 9.6 → 9.62

Muscle: 9.27→9.53

Skeleton: 9.4→9.51

技能：白鹤桩（精通丨486/500）、初级製药（入门丨23/50）、虎形拳（入门丨50/50）

Status: Minor Unity of Heaven and Man

Talent: Flesh Furnace (C-rank, 2%)

Realm: Secondary Resonator

Personal Space: 5x Grade D Internal Injury Potions, 7x Shadow Pouches, 3x Stone Armor Wheels

The White Crane's proficiency with the stake is nearing its maximum, but due to excessive hunting, the more intelligent Iron-beaked Crow has developed a fear of him.

All day Friday, even when the iron-beaked jays were feeding, they would let out a mournful cry and fly away as soon as they saw Luqiu, resulting in an improvement of only a dozen points.

The Tiger Form Fist has reached the critical point of breakthrough; it is time to start trying the second form.

Over the past three days, Lu Qiu has earned nearly 10,000 points, all of which he has used to improve the strength of his muscles and bones.

Twenty vials of bone-tempering agent were used, along with thirty standard muscle and bone meal sets, and we also had to eat our fill of alien beast meat for free in the cafeteria.

Muscle strength increased by 0.26, bone strength increased by 0.11, and the average three-dimensional value reached 9.55, which is a very pleasing result.

He exchanged the remaining 2,000 points for 20 internal injury potions, which he used to hunt recklessly in Zone 2. He still has 5 left.

With only a pitiful 82 points left, Lu Qiu could barely afford the "insurance" for his nighttime exploration of District 2, but he decided to head back.

Tonight I'll try to master the second form of Tiger Style Fist, then conserve my energy. Tomorrow, Saturday, the ranking challenge at the training base will unlock.

This is currently the most efficient way for everyone to earn points, and Lu Qiu is no exception.

At 6:30, Lu Qiu returned to the fourth floor of the base and bumped into Wang Hao, whose mouth was greasy, as if he had just finished eating.

Wang Hao looked Lu Qiu up and down, then punched him lightly: "I was just looking for you, Lu Qiu. Why are you back so early today?"

Lu Qiu laughed and said, "The ranking challenge starts tomorrow, so I'll take a break."

"I was just about to talk to you about this!" Wang Hao said excitedly. "I've gathered a lot of information about the rankings. You're working non-stop like a robot, you definitely wouldn't know."

Lu Qiu shook his head and chuckled.

He has the White Crane Stance to strengthen his spirit and the Flesh and Blood Furnace to restore his body. He only needs to sleep three hours a day to recover to his peak condition.

The rest of the time was spent hunting mutated species in Zone 2; otherwise, how could I have earned nearly 10,000 points in just three days?

That's why he got the nickname "Robot" at the base.

Lu Qiu didn't feel anything. Anyone else would have cultivated as desperately as him if they had an energy proficiency panel and a portal to travel between worlds.

He opened the door and said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Wang Hao swaggered in, sat down at the table, opened his tablet, and clicked on the file sent from his phone.

The document was titled "Combat Capability Rating of the Training Base." When Lu Qiu saw it, he raised an eyebrow: "Is this issued by the base?"

"Of course not," Wang Hao said smugly. "I've been constantly upgrading the software these past few days. It's based on the information and videos I've collected, and it should be useful to you."

Lu Qiu leaned closer to take a closer look, and the first thing he saw was Xu Wen.

[8th Place: Xu Wen, Affiliated Resource City: 032, Power Level: 1.4, Mastered Martial Art: Xi Xue Sword (Half-Source Energy Martial Art), Talent Ability: Ice Extreme (Grade A)]

All of the top ten places, except for Coco Hsu, are marked as "unknown".

His lips twitched: "Haozi, you're not here to make fun of me, are you?"

Wang Hao blushed: "The top ten are basically all in Zone 2. Long Ke and Li Chengze have both entered Zone 1. How can I see their strength? You'll have to look further ahead."

Starting from eleventh place, the information gradually became clear.

[Eleventh Place: Li Xingyun, Resource City: 084, Power Level: 1.3, Martial Arts Mastered: Swimming Scale Sword (Half-Source Energy Martial Arts), White Crane Stance]

……

[50th Place: Qing Tian Jin, Resource City: 931, Strength: 1.5, Martial Arts: Mountain Crashing Fist, Rock Stake]

Lu Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Thinking about the actions of the 931 students during this period, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Just like the harassment of Xu Wen before, the students of 931 will interfere with others in any situation where it is permitted by the rules, slowing down the speed at which others gain points.

In Zone 2, there were almost only the top ten students. Lu Qiu only encountered Long Ke once in three days and did not encounter this situation.

But the other students who were active in District 345 were disgusted by the people in District 931.

Tomorrow's first battle will be a lesson to 931.

Lu Qiu asked, "What is exerting force?"

"After the adjustment of the allocation of points in the alien beast area, the speed at which everyone can obtain points has increased significantly. Many people have exchanged for martial arts and coaching guidance, and are already able to exert power beyond their physical bodies."

Wang Hao pointed to Qing Tianjin's name: "Take this Qing Tianjin for example. He completely abandoned the cultivation of movement techniques and focused on exerting force. When he ambushed us last time, he had already exceeded his limit by 50%."

Lu Qiu's eyes flashed with coldness: "A sneak attack? Doesn't the base strictly prohibit infighting?"

"Camera drones always have blind spots, and he was trying to collapse the building by bombing a load-bearing wall to crush us."

"At the time, the four of us were dealing with the gray leopard, so it was hard to spare any attention for the main event. If that building had really collapsed..." He paused, then stopped.

"I'll challenge him first tomorrow," Lu Qiu said seriously.

Wang Hao's expression was serious, trying to draw Lu Qiu's attention: "Qing Tianjin hasn't reached the Lesser Celestial Realm yet, his movement technique is terrible, and his 1.5 power output shouldn't be underestimated. If you get hit by it, you'll be in real trouble."

"You have no access to the base's martial arts techniques or instructors, so be extremely careful during combat."
