When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the wind howled fiercely.

In the simulated desert, Jiang Feng endured the crushing force that seemed to want to crush him, and gritted his teeth to finish casting the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Technique twice more.

"call!"

"This feeling is so exhilarating!"

He stopped, panting, and checked the system notifications.

The progress of bone tempering has indeed increased, reaching (15/100).

However, the Qi and Blood value remained stuck at 103 points.

"Your Qi and Blood levels haven't increased?"

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, sat cross-legged on the scorching sand and pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing what was going on.

Energy is conserved; Qi and blood levels can never be created out of thin air!

No matter how powerful the cultivation technique is, forcibly squeezing the physical body without external energy replenishment will only completely drain one's body.

You must have dietary supplements or high-level qi and blood tonics to support your diet!

Thinking about this...

On a whim, he took out the bottle of basic Qi and Blood potion that Principal Gao Ping had given him.

This medicine sells for three thousand yuan a bottle on the market.

"I have two bottles of Qi and Blood Activating Elixir now. You can try taking one first!"

Jiang Feng stared at the thick, lava-like potion inside the bottle for a while.

This thing seems to be made from the essence and blood of some kind of mythical beast, and then refined through a special process.

He uncorked the bottle and brought it to his nose to smell it.

Surprisingly, the taste was alright. It didn't have the pungent, fishy smell I had imagined; instead, it had a faint herbal fragrance.

Without the slightest hesitation, he tilted his head back.

"Gulp."

The entire bottle of Qi and Blood Medicine was swallowed directly!

The instant the medicine entered my throat, a violent burning sensation exploded in my stomach!

"boom!"

Without Jiang Feng's deliberate guidance, the domineering and unparalleled Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture within his body began to operate wildly, like a mad shark that had smelled blood!

The violent medicinal power was instantly crushed and absorbed, transforming into strands of pure energy that surged into every part of the body.

"What incredible energy!"

"This provides more health points than eating the flesh of exotic beasts!"

Jiang Feng knew that time was precious, so he didn't sit idle.

Taking advantage of the drug's effects, he suddenly stood up, bracing himself against the terrifying pressure, and began practicing the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Technique!

The entire sequence of movements was executed flawlessly.

The system notification sound, as melodious as heavenly music, rang in my mind once again!

【Ding! 】

[Current Realm: First Realm - Copper Skin and Iron Bones (20/100)!]

[Qi and Blood Value: +4!]

Jiang Feng was immediately overjoyed.

It worked!

Although his body was aching and on the verge of falling apart from the raging wind and gravity, his eyes shone with an alarming brightness.

"Again!"

He roared, suppressing the spasms in his muscles, and forced himself to complete the inhuman body-refining exercises once more.

【Ding! 】

[Current Realm: First Realm - Copper Skin and Iron Bones (25/100)!]

[Qi and Blood Value: +4!]

next moment!

"boom!!!"

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded deep within my mind!

The fatigue and soreness that had been weighing down my body, as if it were filled with lead, vanished without a trace in that instant!

An indescribable sense of clarity, as if breaking free from some kind of shackles that bound life, surged straight up the spine to the top of the head!

So cool!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! Your Qi and Blood value has reached the threshold of 110 points!]

[Successfully broke through the limits of life and advanced to: Second Grade Bone Tempering Realm!]

Second rank!

"I've become a second-grade martial artist!"

Jiang Feng excitedly leaped up and roared to the sky!

So cool!

This feeling of controlling power and constantly evolving is simply intoxicating!

I used to be a terrible student with only 6.1 points of Qi and Blood, and I was looked down upon by others.

Now, he has become a second-grade Bone Tempering Realm martial artist with a Qi and Blood value of 110 points!

No one understands the true value of a second-grade martial artist better than him!

In the national martial arts college entrance examination.

Once you become a first-grade martial artist, you've already secured your place at a regular martial arts university.

If one can break through to the second rank of martial artist, that would be enough to make those famous 985 martial arts universities across the country fight tooth and nail for them!

As for third-rank martial artists?

Furthermore, it can directly guarantee admission to the two top martial arts holy lands in the Dragon Kingdom!

There are still three months until the college entrance examination.

With my phenomenal advancement speed, is the Third Grade Transformation Realm really that far away?!

I calmed down after that.

Jiang Feng seized the opportunity and practiced the moves twice more under the pressure of the intimidating aura.

Unfortunately, the energy in that bottle of basic Qi and Blood potion was gradually depleted.

The Qi and Blood value eventually stopped at 118 points and stopped rising.

"A single Qi and Blood potion only provides 15 Qi and Blood points?!"

"That's a bit too little."

He frowned slightly.

After reaching the second rank, you need to increase your Qi and Blood points. It takes 50 Qi and Blood points to advance one star!

This bottle of basic Qi and Blood potion isn't enough for him to advance one star!

But if anyone else heard him say that, they would be so angry they would vomit blood!

Many people who take basic Qi and Blood medicine are already considered exceptional if they can increase their Qi and Blood value by just 1 point!

After all, many people drink Qi and Blood potions for years, but they can only raise their Qi and Blood value to around 10 points, thus becoming a quasi-martial artist!

Who dares to say that drinking a bottle of potion can instantly make you a quasi-martial artist!

However, Jiang Feng was pleased to find that the progress of bone tempering was still steadily improving.

At this time, it was almost dawn outside.

Jiang Feng had a thought and exited the simulation environment.

The scene before my eyes suddenly distorted.

He found himself still sitting cross-legged on the bed, as if the hellish asceticism of the previous night was just a dream.

But the surging blood and qi within his body, almost overflowing, and the incredibly strong bones, several times more resilient than before, were telling him the truth.

Breaking through to the second rank is real!

He couldn't wait to open the system panel.

[Host: Jiang Feng]

Age: 18

[Qualification: Emperor Grade (Possesses supreme bones, with an inexhaustible life force)]

[Qi and Blood Value: 118 points (Grade 2, Star 1)]

[Martial Arts Realm: Second-Rank Bone Tempering Realm]

[Bone Tempering Progress: First Realm - Copper Skin and Iron Bones (35/100)]

[Internal Cultivation Technique: The Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture]

External Body Cultivation: Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Technique

[Martial Arts Skills: None]

Looking at the completely redesigned panel data, Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he glanced at the unfinished tasks hanging in the taskbar.

[Mission Requirements: Within three days, please repair your relationship with your parents and restore harmony to your family!]

[Mission Rewards: Emperor-Rank Cultivation Potion - Primordial Creation Essence Liquid! Emperor-Rank Martial Skill - Emperor Fist!]

"I'm definitely taking this reward."

Jiang Feng stroked his chin.

As for how to repair the relationship with parents?

He had already thought it through last night.

In my memory, my mother Liu's 45th birthday is in two days.

My mother, who has worked hard for most of her life, hasn't bought new clothes for several years, let alone celebrated her birthday properly.

I just won a huge sum of 30,000 yuan, so I have to prepare a big surprise for him!

……

I took a hot shower and finished washing up.

Jiang Feng discovered that although he had been subjected to inhuman torture in the simulation space all night, he was surprisingly energetic and had no fatigue from staying up all night.

This is probably the restorative power brought about by an extraordinary physique.

"Click."

Jiang Feng had just pushed open the door.

The door to the next room opened at almost the same time.

The two locked eyes.

Today, Shen Weilan is wearing a sky-blue school uniform.

She wore a fitted white short-sleeved shirt on top and a pleated mini skirt on the bottom.

Those long, slender, white legs were almost dazzlingly white in the dim morning light.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Feng stared at him with a straightforward gaze that held a hint of appreciation.

Shen Weilan suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She reached up and touched her slightly flushed cheeks, a hint of panic flashing in her cool eyes. Feigning composure, she asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Jiang Feng closed the door behind him, a smile playing on his lips, and exclaimed sincerely:

"It's nothing."

"I was just saying, 'My sister is really beautiful.'"

"No wonder so many boys at school have a crush on you."

Hearing this rather direct praise, Shen Weilan's ears turned slightly red.

She gave Jiang Feng a coquettish glare, snorted coldly, and ignored him completely before striding towards the living room.

In order to earn more money, Jiang Jianguo and Liu Aifang had already left for work early.

My mom had left some milk and bread on the table, which she had heated up in advance.

The two ate a quick bite, then put on their backpacks and headed off to school together.

……

We arrived at the teaching building of the Third Martial Arts High School.

Jiang Feng and Shen Weilan waved goodbye at the top of the stairs.

Jiang Feng's class, Class 4, is a regular class located on a lower floor.

Shen Weilan's class was an elite class on a high floor with the best teachers and environment.

"Ring ring~"

Jiang Feng, carrying his schoolbag on one shoulder, slowly walked into the classroom as the morning self-study bell rang.

however.

As soon as he stepped into the classroom, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The atmosphere is so weird!

The once noisy classroom fell silent the moment I entered.

All fifty-plus students in the class turned their attention to him.

The look in his eyes no longer held the disdainful contempt of before, nor the scornful sarcasm.

Instead, it was with awe, shock, and a mixture of fervor and curiosity!

Even some of Wu Yong's usual henchmen trembled violently the moment they met Jiang Feng's gaze, and quickly buried their heads under their desks.

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow in slight confusion.

He had no idea that the video of him breaking records at the Tiger Martial Arts Hall last night had gone viral on Douyin (TikTok) in his city.

Although the video was a bit blurry, many students still recognized Jiang Feng at a glance!

Jiang Feng had just walked to his seat and sat down.

Before he could even put down his schoolbag, a fragrant breeze wafted over him.

Several girls in the class, dressed in their finest attire, blushed and approached his desk.

In their hands, they held all sorts of sumptuous breakfasts.

"Jiang Feng... have you had breakfast?"

"These are some big steamed buns and hot soy milk I just bought from the cafeteria. Would you like to try some?"

Even more outrageous, the class's arts and culture representative, a pretty girl from a wealthy family, actually pushed a thermos in front of Jiang Feng, her face flushed, and said:

"Jiang Feng, this is braised beef from a Tier 1 exotic beast that my dad bought."

"Eating this will provide a lot of energy and blood, you...you should eat more to nourish your body."

Looking at the lavish breakfast piled up like a small mountain in front of me.

Jiang Feng was completely bewildered, his mind filled with doubt.

What's going on?!

Could it be because yesterday afternoon I smashed the head of school bully Wu Yong with a chair and beat up the homeroom teacher Xiao Chunping so badly he ended up in the hospital, scaring these guys out of their wits?

So now everyone's rushing to curry favor with me?

Pay protection money?

This is too surreal!
