Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

Last night, after taking the bone-strengthening herb, more than half of its medicinal power was absorbed. During my cultivation, I combined it with breathing techniques and stance training.

Lu Qiu felt a slight tingling sensation spreading between his bones.

The remaining medicinal effects would normally gradually diminish and be consumed with daily activities.

Now, as breathing techniques are gradually discovered and followed by the circulation of energy through stance training, they are gradually integrated into the bones.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a super martial art tailored for the elementary and middle school students of the All-People Alliance by a high-level martial artist.

Why didn't I have this feeling when I practiced stance training before?

Is it because you haven't taken any bone-strengthening herbs?

But when Lu Qiu ate the Bone-Melting Grass last night, he also practiced stance training. The biggest difference between then and now is that he has never experienced that feeling of his whole body being perfectly integrated.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiu pondered that feeling and state, trying hard to recall that feeling of complete unity throughout his body.

......

Outside the martial arts classroom.

"Why are you here?" Teacher Li asked, somewhat surprised.

"I got a little injured, so I'll do some back-end missions and rest for a bit." The burly man pointed to his ear, handed her a document, and gestured for her to open it.

Teacher Li nodded. It was common for martial artists to get injured on the front lines. However, when she opened the sealed bag and saw the file name, her beautiful brows furrowed.

Li Qiaowei quickly flipped through a few pages of the "Senior High School Students' Practical Training Documents".

"Why are we going straight into practical training at the end of this semester? Isn't this a university course? Also, the mission process is completely realistic, with no instructors or martial arts practitioners leading the team."

Didn't the People's Federation say they encouraged high school seniors to only focus on basic skills, stance training, and breathing exercises? These kids haven't even touched weapons or martial arts! The higher-ups are really going too far!

Li Qiaowei didn't expect that the document would be sent to her so quickly.

"Don't be so nervous, the place we're going to for this training is very safe. The main purpose of the People's Federation is to convey a message."

The burly man gestured with his chin towards the classroom. "It's been almost ten years since Director Wu killed Emperor Luo, hasn't it? Things have changed drastically on the front lines in the last ten years. Not only Director Wu, but everyone in the Human Alliance Committee has increased their kill counts against Emperor-level monsters. Don't even mention the rear, I'm afraid even you haven't received the news."

"The People's Federation doesn't mean that the rear only needs to provide security..."

"That's all in the past. There are advantages to starting earlier. The resources for practical training classes have tripled. Flowers grown in greenhouses are all show and no substance. Maybe with more fertilizer they can grow thicker."

The muscular man's bulging muscles and the tight lining of his combat uniform made him look like a standing bull from behind.

Li Qiaowei stood beside him, as delicate as a breeze.

He leaned on the railing and surveyed the classrooms, his large cigar swishing past each student, clicking his tongue as he passed by.

"You're the one who taught this class, right? The overall level is a cut above the rest." The cigar paused when it reached Lu Qiu, and he said with interest, "Little Harmony of Heaven and Man? You haven't even touched the threshold, and this kid has already mastered it? He's probably the one who's gone the furthest among this group."

Li Qiaowei shook her head. She had never reached the state of oneness with nature, so naturally she couldn't see it.

"Lu Qiu? He's a very hardworking and diligent child, but he has too few cultivation resources..."

She didn't say much, but continued reading the documents with her head down. However, her brows furrowed more and more. "Back then, we only joined the practical training in the second phase of the martial arts university. When I retired, the practical training was moved to the first phase. Only a few years have passed. Isn't it too fast to jump directly to the senior year of high school? The students are not prepared at all."

"Who was prepared when disaster struck? The UN was not, neither were you, and neither was I. This was a decision made on the front lines, and also a decision made by the UN." The burly man lit a cigar and glanced at Li Qiaowei.

His expression was gloomy as he exhaled a puff of smoke, which lingered outside the window and slowly dissipated.

Li Qiaowei was taken aback. "Is the situation at the front really that dire? Even if it is, you can't send your child to the front lines!"

"Otherwise, the old guys wouldn't have actually let this plan pass. This phase is just a pilot program, and of course, it's also a warning—a warning to you resource cities."

The burly man continued to sized up the student, his worry impossible to conceal, or rather, he had no intention of hiding it at all. "Using the resources of the Human Alliance, practicing the techniques revised by the God of War, laughing and joking! Hmph!"

"A pilot program?" Li Qiaowei's expression turned even more grim; she had a bad feeling.

Every time the People's Federation implements reforms, it conducts pilot programs on a small scale, providing ample preferential treatment. Consequently, there are also many uncontrollable factors involved.

Teacher Li quickly flipped through the document, but the document was extremely thick and each item was extremely important. Suddenly, a hand pressed down on the document, almost completely covering the entire page.

"Forget about all that nonsense. Yes, Resource City 032 only has one class for practical training this year." The burly man pointed with his chin at the students in the classroom. "Resource City 032, First High School, Martial Arts Class Number One."

"Old friend, too much comfort really does cloud your judgment. Think about it carefully: if there were still opportunities on the front lines, would this plan have been sent here?"

"Of course, no matter how ruthless the Human Alliance is, they won't just send them to their deaths, after all, they are the future of the Human Alliance. Each student participating in the training will receive a military supply of 40,000, which they can use to purchase equipment freely."

A medical team is also stationed outside each restricted area; unless you die on the spot, a few injections can bring you back to life.

"The vanguard medical team." Li Qiaowei shook her head and sighed, letting out a sigh of relief. "The Human Union is really willing to give them up."

"Yes, that's why we're investing so much, since we weren't notified in advance," the burly martial artist said. "Of course, with such a large investment, the practical training is also mandatory."

Li Qiaowei had been to the front lines, and even spent a considerable amount of time there. She clearly understood the impact that the spread of the battle to the rear would have on children growing up in peace and tranquility.

He deeply understands the feeling of being swept along by the tide of life and death during the entire period of humankind's life and death.

After experiencing numerous life-or-death situations, she ultimately chose to return to the rear.

The students suddenly looked over. The burly man stubbed out his cigar, gave the students a thumbs-up in high spirits, and drew cheers.

"Looks like the students have warmed up." He patted Li Qiaowei on the shoulder. "Instead of wallowing in self-pity, why don't you teach your students a couple of moves? They are the future of the Human Alliance."

......

"Lu Qiu, is that guy a true martial artist? That physique, those muscles, he could kill me with one punch, right?"

Wang Hao was very excited. In the cities behind, there might only be five or six resident martial artists in a resource city, and you could hardly see them at any time.

"According to relevant laws, martial artists are not allowed to use force against ordinary people. The lightest punishment is a one-year deprivation of martial artist privileges. If he punches you, he should beg you not to die," Lu Qiu said after a couple of seconds of contemplation.

"He waved at us, holy crap! He gave us a thumbs up!"

"We can see martial artists in our resource city too!"

"That physique is at least that of an intermediate-level martial artist!"

Amidst the chaos, Lu Qiu also waved his hand.

Resource City is located behind the People's Federation, almost completely isolated from the restricted area. It's no exaggeration to call it a paradise. There's no danger, and the corresponding armed forces are not too numerous.

Most martial artists with some strength leave the resource city to develop their skills. This big martial artist seems to have come specifically to find Teacher Li, so he is probably someone they knew before.

Lu Qiu glanced at it twice, then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. He had only just begun to get a feel for it, and with only two months left, he had to hurry.

I haven't used high-level potions before, and the first time I used Bonewort, the effect was the highest. I estimate that the effect of the next plant will be less than half.

Suddenly the surrounding chatter stopped. Before Lu Qiu could even open his eyes, a hand was placed on his shoulder, the palm so large that it almost covered his entire right shoulder.

Then a strong force came from my right shoulder. "Concentrate, calm your mind, and maintain your balance."

It was that burly martial artist.

Lu Qiu was startled, but he immediately composed himself and did as instructed.

The force of that palm was initially just a steady downward press, heavy yet gentle.

With his feet firmly planted in the foundation, Lu Qiu slightly gathered his strength in his legs and lowered his center of gravity. With all three dimensions of his body exceeding eight points, he could easily withstand the force of several hundred kilograms.

With just a slight adjustment, he easily withstood the pressure, his body as steady as a rock.

Just as he was about to completely stabilize his posture and solidify his stance, the force on his shoulder suddenly changed.
