I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I want to ask why there are so few people in such a big training hall?" Luo Yuan asked directly.

"Well, although our Extreme Martial Arts Academy has more than a hundred advanced students, most of them are too lazy to come because there are no teachers to teach them. They only come to the academy's training hall to train if they are poor and have no other place to train. Wealthy families usually have their own private training rooms," Yang Wu explained patiently.

"Well, okay, as expected, the economic base determines the superstructure. Rich people have privileges everywhere." Luo Yuan curled his lip.

“This training hall is spacious, you can train as you please.” After saying that, Yang Wu walked to a corner and started lifting weights. Watching him lift a barbell weighing several hundred kilograms as if it were child’s play, his bare chest muscles trembled incessantly, exuding a philosophical aura. He even gave Luo Yuan a bright smile, which made Luo Yuan shiver.

Luo Yuan looked at the bubbles falling in the training hall with excitement in his eyes. The bubbles here should be different from those falling from the beginner and intermediate students. He casually walked up to a red bubble and touched it.

Strength +2

Luo Yuan didn't feel anything, probably because he added too little. He glanced around and saw only a few dozen bubbles, but most of them were red. Could there be something different about the color of these bubbles? He decided to do a test, so he walked over to a white bubble.

Strength +1

"speed +1"

Luo Yuan had a plan. It seemed that bubbles of different colors did indeed add different attribute points, but the type of attribute seemed to be random.

After figuring it out, he picked up all the dozens of bubbles in the training hall. He spent the whole morning picking them up in the advanced student hall. However, the advanced students were dropping fewer and fewer bubbles. It seemed that the number of attribute bubbles dropped by each person in a certain period of time was limited, otherwise he could have kept picking them up forever.

Seeing that there weren't many attribute bubbles to collect in the advanced student training hall, Luo Yuan went to the intermediate and low-level student training halls to collect attributes. Although there were fewer attribute points, there were plenty of them.

The intermediate and lower-level students were very surprised to see Luo Yuan, a senior student, come to them. Some of them excitedly tried to find Luo Yuan to explain some of the problems they encountered in martial arts training, but Luo Yuan ignored them completely. Instead, he was running around the training hall frantically collecting attributes, and his speed was so fast that the students couldn't keep up with him at all.

Luo Yuan had to avoid the students while collecting attributes, so his reflexes improved. As his dodging became more and more proficient, he felt that his movement skills had reached a certain level, and he decided to take the opportunity to learn more about it.

Luo Yuan spent the entire afternoon collecting attributes in the training halls for beginner and intermediate students. However, his eccentric behavior made him famous at the Yangzhou Extreme Martial Arts Academy, earning him the nickname "madman," a crazy person who ran around wildly.

Back then, Luo Feng angrily fought three senior students from wealthy families and lost to all three, earning him the nickname "Madman." However, this nickname was only known to some of the senior students. But the students of the Limit Martial Arts Academy all knew about Luo Yuan's "Madman" reputation. However, Luo Yuan didn't care. His skin was already harder than steel, and he no longer cared about what others said.

However, Luo Yuan's strange behavior still caught the attention of Jiang Nian, the master of this Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Looking at Luo Yuan on the monitoring screen, whose speed was astonishing and whose movements were ghostly, his eyes revealed a sharp light. The dodging movements were divided into 'basic level' - 'subtle level' - 'perfect level' - 'intent level', and Luo Yuan's movements were already very close to the subtle level.

"Retrieve this person's identity file," Jiang Nian said to the staff member operating the electronic equipment.

Luo Yuan's personal information appeared on a random electronic screen.

"Luo Yuan, 18 years old, orphan, 179cm tall, 68kg, a senior high school student in Yi'an, with average academic performance, a low-key personality, no martial arts experience, passed the advanced student assessment this morning with an excellent result."

"Interesting. This little guy is truly amazing. It seems he must have been privately instructed by a martial artist, otherwise he wouldn't be at the advanced student level right away. But why does he like to run around in our Extreme Martial Arts Hall? Is he practicing his movement techniques?" Jiang Nian stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled.

P.S.: Dear gods, please give me rewards, monthly tickets, and add this to your favorites. I, Luo Yuan, am completely convinced.

Chapter 8 Attribute Rules

As evening approached, Luo Yuan walked out of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. He looked at the sunset on the horizon and felt how quickly time had passed.

Before he knew it, the day was over. He walked to the Extreme Martial Arts Academy stop and waited for the bus.

Taking the bus, Luo Yuan returned to his rented apartment. There, he saw the aloof and beautiful woman named Xu Qian lounging on the sofa, eating sunflower seeds and watching a movie, her long, white legs propped up on the coffee table.

"By the way, Sister Qian, that black card you gave me last time actually had a balance of two million. The manager of that monster pet park returned 400,000 to me. How about I return 300,000 to you, and I'll pay you back the remaining 100,000 later?" Luo Yuan suddenly remembered the black card.

"No need, you can use the 400,000 first. I still have money." Xu Qian said lazily, which made Luo Yuan feel a little strange. What kind of personality does this woman have? She was a cold and aloof older sister type a while ago, but today she has become a happy fat otaku type.

"Okay, you can call me anytime if you need anything in the future."

After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he went back to his bedroom. He didn't immediately integrate the attribute points he had picked up today. The woman was still there. He would start after she left at night. He wondered if he could break through to become a martial artist this time.

Lying on the bed in a U-shape, Luo Yuan took out his advanced student ID from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy from his bag and smiled happily. This thing was really useful; it allowed him to freely enter and exit public areas of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and he could also receive a compensation of five thousand yuan every month.

Luo Yuan habitually reached for his phone and found several missed calls. He saw that they were from his homeroom teacher, Cui Dashan, who was known for his balding appearance. Luo Yuan pursed his lips, thinking that Cui Dashan was probably asking him why he had skipped class, and he didn't pay any attention to it.

Although there's only a month left until the college entrance exam, Luo Yuan isn't worried at all. He doesn't plan to take it because with his average academic performance, it would be difficult for him to get into a good university. Besides, he doesn't think studying in this world is very useful. However, he still plans to go to the school tomorrow to drop out, so that the bald guy won't bother him every day.

From some tests of picking up attributes today, Luo Yuan discovered some rules of his cheat ability:

1. Only people or monsters with strength at the beginner level or above can drop attribute bubbles. Moreover, the stronger the person, the higher the attribute value of the dropped bubble and the rarer it is.

2. The falling bubbles have a limited shelf life, lasting approximately five minutes.

3. The number of bubbles a person or monster can drop within a certain period of time is limited. The specific number depends on the strength of the target; the stronger the target, the more bubbles it will drop.

4. The level of the dropped attribute bubbles can be determined by their color. The specific value can only be known when fusion occurs. The colors range from low to high. Currently, white and red are known, with white bubbles having the lowest attribute value.

That's all I can come up with for now. Luo Yuan saw that it was still early, so he started a fire to cook. That woman named Xu Qian came to freeload again, but he didn't say anything. After all, she was his creditor now.

After finishing his meal and washing up, Luo Yuan played with his phone in his bedroom. The phone was somehow completely transparent, like a small rectangular piece of glass. He opened the forum of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, which showed that to view the content, he had to enter his student ID number and national ID number, as well as undergo facial recognition.

Luo Yuan could only patiently do as he was told, and gave himself the nickname "Running Bystander". Soon he entered the forum and found that it was really lively, with hundreds of thousands of posts. He took a look and found that it was mostly students chatting and joking around.

Of course, there are also martial arts level users, but most of them post trading information on the forum. It seems that those above the martial arts level don't have time to chat on this forum.

Suddenly he saw a message on the forum: "Yangzhou Extreme Martial Arts Academy has produced another senior student, but he's a madman who only knows how to run!"

He opened the post and read it carefully. It basically described Luo Yuan's actions at the Yangzhou Extreme Martial Arts Academy today, but the comments were somewhat malicious. Fortunately, there was no name or photo of him on it. He looked at the poster's nickname, "Brother Ritian's Follower," and his level was also senior student.

"Very well, I'll remember you." Luo Yuan muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

Next, Luo Yuan opened the forum's information sharing section. He saw basic martial artist level classifications, a brief explanation of martial artist movement technique levels, a comprehensive encyclopedia of monster knowledge, introductions to martial artist weapons, rankings of martial artists from the Ultimate Martial Arts School, an introduction to world history, and more...

Looking at this wide variety of knowledge, Luo Yuan felt a bit overwhelmed. He directly clicked on the "Brief Explanation of Martial Artist Movement Technique Levels," which was currently the most interesting to him.

A martial artist's dodging techniques are divided into basic level, subtle level, perfect level, and artistic level.

The basic level is self-explanatory, as most advanced students can achieve it. The micro-level, however, involves using minimal movement to dodge attacks, maximizing the efficiency of dodging.

The "perfect" level is about mastering the surrounding environment and utilizing any object around you, such as living things, rocks, buildings, etc. You can perfectly utilize the environment and dodge with the most precise movements. This is the "perfect" level of movement!

As for the level of artistic conception, there is only one sentence: "It can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words."

Then he opened the basic martial artist level classification, which listed the martial artist levels from low to high as: Elementary Student, Intermediate Student, Advanced Student, Elementary Warrior, Intermediate Warrior, Advanced Warrior, Elementary War General, Intermediate War General, Advanced War General, Elementary War God, Intermediate War God, Advanced War God, and Beyond War God. As for what Beyond War God is, it was not explained.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly when he saw the martial artist's level. In fact, these levels on Earth are collectively called the apprentice level in the universe, which is the weakest level in the universe. Even planetary level martial artists who surpass the God of War are just slaves in the universe.

"It seems I need to get stronger quickly, otherwise I won't even be able to beat the alien slaves." Luo Yuan clenched his fist. He was willing to abandon all pretense of shame in order to improve his strength.

"Click~"

The sound of the door closing came from outside. Luo Yuan looked at the dark night sky outside the window. His phone showed that it was already 9 p.m. He went out of the bedroom and found that the living room was empty. He knocked on Xu Qian's door again, but there was no response. It seemed that the woman had gone out. He quickly locked the front door and then locked the bedroom door.

"Attribute fusion begins..."

"Strength +1".

"Strength +1".

"speed +1"

"speed +1"

Defense +1

Defense +1

"Neural Reflexes +1"

"Neural Reflexes +1"

........................

"Ouch~ That hurts~"

The next day at noon, Luo Yuan woke up from his coma. He looked at the time on his phone: 12:18.

He endured the pain in his body, opened his personal attribute panel, and was immediately shocked.

P.S.: Dear gods, please give me rewards, monthly tickets, and add this to your favorites. I, Luo Yuan, am completely convinced.

Chapter 9 Warrior

"Ouch~ That hurts~"

The next day at noon, Luo Yuan woke up from his coma. He looked at the time on his phone: 12:18.

He endured the pain in his body, opened his personal attribute panel, and was immediately shocked.

Name: Luo Yuan

Strength: Apprentice level (Beginner Warrior)

Strength: 1500kg

Speed: 30 m/s

Defense: 1500 kg

Spiritual weight: 500 kg

Technique: None

Skill: Movement Technique (Subtle Level)

"I've become a martial artist?" Luo Yuan was somewhat incredulous, but the attribute panel wouldn't lie to him; he had tested it himself.

In terms of strength (punching power), the passing score for the 'quasi-martial artist assessment' is 900 kilograms!; in terms of speed, the passing score for the 'quasi-martial artist assessment' is 25 meters per second! That is, 4 seconds to run 100 meters.

However, Luo Yuan's current strength is almost twice that of a quasi-martial artist, and his speed is 5 meters per second faster.

"Even among the beginner warriors, my overall attributes are quite high, but it's hard to say how I'll fare in actual combat."

Although Luo Yuan's strength has improved a lot and he has directly entered the martial artist level that countless students dream of, he only calmed down after a while. This level of strength may be considered very strong among ordinary people, but in the eyes of powerful martial artists, he is just an ant.

It took him less than a week to go from an ordinary person to a martial artist, but he had never fought anyone before, so he was still a novice in actual combat. This worried him a bit, because the preliminary martial artist assessment required practical combat ability.

The combination of neural reaction speed and running speed forms movement skills. Movement is crucial in combat. Common sense dictates that movement training requires a very solid foundation, typically ten years of hard work. Then, years of frequent battles with monsters develop various dodging instincts, gradually leading to mastery. Ultimately, mastery means achieving a conditioned reflex, a swift and effortless execution.

Solid foundation, proficiency, and effortless mastery! These are the initial three levels of movement techniques. Above these three levels... lies the Subtlety level, and Luo Yuan's current dodging movement technique is at the Subtlety level.

The "Microscopic Level" signifies the ability to exert extremely subtle control over strength and the body, enabling the most exquisite evasions with minimal cost. Various movements and dodging maneuvers are executed as if calculated by a computer!

Many warrior-level experts haven't even reached the microscopic level of movement technique! It's conceivable that reaching this level of movement technique is extremely difficult. The reason it's difficult is that if you make a mistake while dodging with small movements, you can easily be hit by a monster! Being hit by a monster usually results in either death or serious injury.

Luo Yuan smiled as he looked at his attribute panel. He couldn't help but marvel at how different it was to have a cheat system. For an ordinary person, reaching the strength of a martial artist within a week was simply a pipe dream. But he had the cheat system of picking up attributes. As long as he kept a low profile and followed behind the strong to observe and collect attributes, he would eventually become a strong person himself.

However, it seems that only the protagonist Luo Feng is making great strides in this world. It looks like I should try to get on good terms with him in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to even leave Earth.

After getting up and getting ready, Luo Yuan decided to drop out of Yi'an Third High School. Since arriving in this world, he had only glanced at the history textbook and had completely forgotten all his other high school knowledge. He didn't want to embarrass himself by taking the college entrance exam; becoming a martial artist was much more appealing.

That aloof woman hadn't returned yet; it seemed she might have encountered some difficulties. Luo Yuan didn't seem too concerned.
