Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

Like a sleepwalker suddenly awakened, followed by an uncontrollable uproar.

"Did I see that right? Eight hundred? Didn't he only have seven hundred the day before yesterday when I checked?"

"One hundred kilograms a week? That's like having an engine crammed into your body!"

"Has he been hiding his true abilities all along?"

"Don't try to hide it from me. This isn't a novel. The Human Alliance is short of talent. If you become the strongest tomorrow, the Human Alliance will be eager to invest all its resources in you."

"We can't use banned substances, can we?"

"Using that in a martial arts exam will get you blacklisted. Besides, who would use banned substances in a regular test?"

"Have you forgotten about that burly teacher from earlier? We were fussing over his shoulders for ages, could it be... that his meridians were opened up?"

A buzz of discussion erupted, and all eyes were on Lu Qiu, filled with shock, suspicion, and barely concealed envy.

No one could believe that gaining several kilograms a day was considered rapid progress.

If a 100-kilogram weight gain averages out to more than 10 kilograms a day, is that even human?

Some people couldn't contain themselves and wanted to know what medicine Lu Qiu had taken, what tutor he had hired... or even whether it was all fake.

But in the end, he didn't dare.

The guidance from the burly martial artist and the affirmation from their teacher, Li Qiaowei, were evident to everyone.

Neither of them could tell that Lu Qiu was being opportunistic or overcharging; how could students like them have that kind of insight?

Only a few who hadn't participated in gossiping about Lu Qiu were eagerly waiting for school to end, determined to ask Lu Qiu about his secrets to improvement, even if it came at a cost.

As for those who once looked down on Luqiu, they could only secretly grit their teeth and grumble.

Those who hadn't been caught by Lu Qiu had already left the crowd and resumed practicing stance training.

Li Qiaowei was very satisfied with the students' reactions. Having a rising genius chasing after them was much more effective than Xu Wen always being ahead of the other students.

Just as she was about to say a few words to encourage the students, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out, glanced at it, and her expression immediately turned serious.

"Alright, everyone, let's continue training. We'll have a class meeting this afternoon to announce some important matters."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

The students stopped arguing. Even if some were still unconvinced, they would let their skills speak for themselves, so they all gritted their teeth and started practicing.

Soon, the training room returned to silence.

The morning session ended with everyone training hard, and before we knew it, it was noon.

As soon as the bell rang, everyone rushed to the cafeteria.

The food at the No. 1 High School cafeteria is all rationed. If you walk slowly, all that's left are expensive and unpalatable dishes.

Luqiu was among them.

After his strength improved, his speed also increased significantly. When he rushed into the cafeteria at lightning speed, there weren't many people there yet.

When it was his turn to get food, Lu Qiu glanced at his balance and bought a 50-yuan serving of braised black-backed shrimp.

The black-backed shrimp is a primitive, mutated marine organism whose skin has completely mutated into black.

But the meat is succulent and has the effect of improving blood circulation and strengthening muscles.

Although the improvement is not as direct and obvious as that of medicinal herbs, isn't that how the difference accumulates over time?

Normally, Lu Qiu wouldn't even glance at braised black-backed shrimp; he simply couldn't afford it.

Things are different now. Although the three poison sacs haven't been sold yet, he has the confidence to have 4,500 yuan in hand.

Diet, cultivation, medicine... he must achieve the right mechanism in every aspect.

Clang!

Just as he was engrossed in eating, a plate was thrown in front of him: a serving of braised black-backed shrimp for two.

Lu Qiu looked up and saw Xie Yu.

The two had a large gap in grades, didn't communicate much, and their relationship wasn't particularly good or bad; they just weren't at the point where they would sit down for a meal together.

Lu Qiu had a good impression of him; at least when Xie Yu demonstrated his strength in the morning, he didn't participate in mocking him.

"Hi, Brother Yu."

Lu Qiu said something and continued eating, and the black-backed shrimp on his plate quickly dwindled.

But as he was eating, he saw Xie Yu putting food on his plate, so he looked up and said, "Brother Yu, we're classmates, just say what you need, why are you being so polite?"

Seeing Lu Qiu's sincere eyes, Xie Yu felt embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "Brother Lu, I want to ask you something. Do you have any insights about the unity of man and nature?"

Lu Qiu was stunned for a moment.

He had no intention of keeping anything to himself; he even planned to organize the insights he gained from the martial artist's guidance that morning and send them to Wang Hao.

After all, Wang Hao is a good brother.

He didn't consider the other classmates because he wasn't particularly close to them.

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I can pay. Whatever price you ask, Brother Lu, I have enough pocket money for this month!"

"Yes, we can pay for it!"

Lu Qiu then noticed that there were about a dozen classmates not far away, each carrying a plate with different dishes, all priced no lower than braised black-backed shrimp.

Wang Hao was among them.

Lu Qiu went up to him, took Wang Hao's plate and placed it next to his own: "Dude, you're too kind."

Wang Hao's family was much better off than his, but only by a limited margin. At least they wouldn't have the confidence to say something like Xie Yu. This dish alone was already a huge expense for them.

Lu Qiu gestured, "Everyone, please sit down. Let's eat first, and then we'll talk."

The relationship may be so-so, but he can't turn down money that's offered to him; he's not stupid.

I'll take this opportunity while I eat to think about how much money I should charge my classmates.

A dozen or so plates were crammed onto one table, and everyone gathered around. No one complained about the crowding and they all rushed to serve food to Lu Qiu.

This was the most filling meal Lu Qiu had eaten since starting high school.

After finishing his meal, he patted his stomach and looked around at his classmates' expectant eyes: "I have quite a few insights. I'll have Wang Hao create a group chat later, and I'll organize them and post them there. As for the money... we'll talk about it after everyone has read it."

"If it has no effect at all, wouldn't I be a scammer if I took your money?"

"Brother Lu is so generous!"

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

……

Lu Qiu couldn't handle it, so he told Wang Hao to quickly create a group chat, and he made an excuse to go back to the classroom first.

I had just sat down in my seat when my phone vibrated. It was the burly martial artist I had added that morning.

He sent a message and a compressed file.

"My name is Chen Jue. This is the original White Crane Stance created by my mentor. You have met the minimum standard."

Original version?

Lu Qiu was astonished. Given the conditions of Resource City 032, high school students were only qualified to practice the stance training method in the basic training method.

More advanced stance training is only available in cities that rank higher and have greater strength.

Of course, if one's family has the means, they can purchase one themselves at a considerable cost. For example, Xu Wen cultivates using the spirit snake stake her family bought.

Of course, this is only the version in circulation.

The original stance training method is only passed down among high-level martial artists, to their students, or to their descendants.

It's not a monopoly. Ordinary people have no chance of mastering it without the guidance of advanced martial artists, and may even damage their foundation.

Chen Jue's generosity made Lu Qiu somewhat suspicious of his motives.

But he still clicked the stress reliever; he'd have to see what the White Crane Stake really was to find out.
