Chapter 42: Ambition
"Xiaoyuan?"
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
"What are you doing? What time is it and you still don't sleep?"
"Ma...go to bed soon, Mom!"
Zheng Qiuling, who was at the door, reached out to the door handle with some doubts, but the sudden vibration of her cell phone in her pocket told her to quickly retract her hand.
"Dad, are you okay today...will you come back and sleep tonight?..."
I heard my mother's voice gradually moving away towards the bathroom.
In the room, Lu Yuan, who was lying on the floor clenching his teeth, relaxed and let out waves of painful moans.
The pain of muscle tearing swept up from all parts of the body in waves.
He could barely move his little finger now.
"Huh-huh-"
Lu Yuan gasped for air while looking up at the ceiling above his head in disbelief.
"I just... did all eighteen movements of the crane-shaped pile in one go?"
Level 3’s [Absolute Focus].
Putting him into a state of deep concentration that he has never experienced before.
It's like doing something seriously by instinct.
All the thoughts in his subconscious such as "questioning", "impossible" and "I can't do it now" were blocked.
Until this thing is actually done.
"Incredible..."
Lu Yuan made a sound of exclamation, and the physical pain could not cover up the joy and shock in his heart.
"So...concentration is strong to a certain level...
It's also a superpower, right? "
No difficulty can stop an extremely serious person.
This sentence suddenly popped into Lu Yuan's mind.
The pain lessened slightly.
Lu Yuan barely supported his body and got up from the ground, leaning his back on the edge of the bed.
Taking advantage of his recovery, he opened the career panel.
[Occupation: Fighter lv4 (370/800)]
[Basic professional skills: Elementary forging lv4 (200/800)
.....
Intermediate professional skills: Crane-shaped pile lv1 (29/100)]
These three are the main ones that experience changes.
The professional experience value of [Fighter] has increased by twenty-two points.
The crane-shaped pile's experience increased by twenty-four points.
The experience gained in the primary level of physical training has increased the most, reaching a full eighty points!
It took several days of hard training on strength training.
"This is equivalent to cheating..."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But the cost of cheating is not small.
At least tonight, he won't be able to do any extra training.
He simply climbed into bed and lay there.
Close your eyes and activate [Imagine Enemy] to start simulated actual combat practice in the consciousness space.
.........
the next day.
Jiaoyan No. 4 Middle School, Grade 2, Class 3.
A noisy and fun time between classes.
"Damn it, it's a long way to go. Are you... making a push-up plan?"
Cheng Peng curiously pulled the back collar of Lu Yuan's school uniform. He was shocked when he saw the dense plaster patches inside, and couldn't help blurting out.
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Lu Yuan shook off his hand and glared at him angrily.
Cheng Peng was a little worried, so he put his arm around his shoulders and warned him sincerely: "You kid, practice martial arts, practice martial arts, don't go crazy.
The final exam is coming soon. Others put aside other interests and hobbies and focus on studying.
You're fine, but why are you getting more ruthless with practice? "
"Even if I don't listen to a single lesson from now on, and I write the test paper with my feet with my eyes closed during the exam, I will still do better than you... You are here talking to me about studying..."
Lu Yuan returned lazily.
"Damn, that's insulting, right?!"
"By the way, aren't you in love? Which class are you in? What's your name? When will you bring it out to show me to my buddies?"
Lu Yuan changed the subject and began to ask Cheng Peng about him.
Seeing this talk, Cheng Peng's face immediately showed a somewhat proud expression.
"Your sister-in-law, I will definitely bring you out when you come back..."
Halfway through the words, Cheng Peng's expression "changed drastically" and he suddenly became serious.
He grabbed a textbook and started talking: "Lu Yuan, please help me figure out how to solve this problem?"
Lu Yuan was puzzled and looked towards the door of the class.
There is no teacher coming either.
Besides, get out of class is still over now...
suddenly.
A pink hairpin floated past Lu Yuan's eyes like a cloud.
Lu Yuan suddenly realized, but his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
"Aren't you already in love? Why do you still care so much about Ling Yue?"
"It's just... I just don't want her to know..."
Seeing Cheng Peng hesitating and evasive, Lu Yuan could not understand what he was thinking.
It's just that even though he's already in love, he still hasn't completely given up on the goddess in the past, and he always has a trace of unrealistic fantasy.
Real dog man.
"Jingle Bell--"
At this time, the school bell rang, and Lu Yuan waved his hand to drive Cheng Peng back.
"roll roll roll......."
He was too lazy to care about Cheng Peng's trivial matter.
Lu Yuan casually grabbed a textbook and spread it out in front of him, but what he was thinking about was martial arts training.
Last night, he fought a total of eight battles in the consciousness battle.
Two battles with the middle-aged man in the rain alley, four battles with Lin Zhiqin, and two battles with the corridor on the second floor of the martial arts hall and the coach surnamed Qin.
After gaining a little more intelligence, the number of activations of [Imaginary Enemy] has indeed increased a lot.
Lin Zhiqin's actual combat special training effect is also remarkable.
Now he can easily win the victory against the middle-aged man in the rain alley in the consciousness space.
But Lin Zhiqin is still an insurmountable mountain.
This is even more true for the coach surnamed Qin.
No matter what method the latter uses to trigger the battle, the result is the same.
He was killed instantly by the opponent without any suspense.
"Lin Zhiqin used a fist, and the fist was printed on the vestibule.
And Qin Feng used a finger..."
Lu Yuan subconsciously touched the position of his throat.
Qin Feng is the full name of the coach Qin of the martial arts hall.
In fact, Lu Yuan didn't know whether it was a finger or a palm?
Anyway, he "died" in a flash.
But one thing is certain.
"Like Lin Zhiqin, that move is a powerful killer move they have mastered!"
Lu Yuan repeatedly "sent himself to death" in the space of consciousness, so he also wanted to learn these two moves secretly?
However, this idea is really unrealistic for him now.
"Let's practice the basic skills first."
Lu Yuan shook his head, and the movement of turning the page accidentally involved the muscles in his arm, and he gasped in pain.
Last night, using the level 3 [Absolute Concentration], he "opened the door" to practice all 18 movements of the crane-shaped pile in one breath.
The sequelae are also huge.
God knows how many muscles in the body are torn.
Thankfully, I had a healing massage before returning from the martial arts gym, and the secret medicine of Tianshui Liu that penetrated into the body has not completely dissipated.
Otherwise, he would not have thought of getting up from the bed this morning.
When passing by the pharmacy on the way to school, Lu Yuan bought a few boxes of plasters for injuries and bruises and applied them all over his body.
Whether it is useful or not, it is psychologically comforting.
"Lu Yuan."
On the podium, the physics teacher who was explaining a test paper noticed Lu Yuan's abnormality, pushed his glasses on his nose, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the infirmary? If not, go home and rest."
"Yes."
Lu Yuan thought about it, and simply did not refuse. He closed the book and stood up and walked towards the classroom door.
He had already discovered it after a few classes in the morning.
After the intelligence reached 11 points, the course knowledge taught in the school could no longer meet the requirements of his [student] profession.
The experience points gained after listening to a class were negligible.
It would be a waste of time to continue staying here.
"Just discuss it with the head teacher and let me go home to study for the last two weeks.
I will go to the bookstore to buy some high-level textbooks in the afternoon. The effect of self-study may be better."
Lu Yuan secretly calculated in his heart.
