Chapter 23: Meyer Climbing Training! Three days flew by.
"Oh?"
Su Chen sat up, feeling a sharp pain in his lower back and abdomen, and grimaced.
"Another test is coming, and it's another one based on strength."
He stared at the screen for two seconds and couldn't help but laugh.
"So you think I get whatever I practice?"
Today is Monday, which means the exam is the day after tomorrow.
There's still time!
"Go all out!"
Su Chen opened the attachment and scrolled down.
[Assessment Item: Rock climbing training (200 meters, five round trips, with a 30kg load)]
Assessment location: Back hill of the campus
考核时间：按班级分批进行（普通班14:00-15:50，重点班16:10-18:00）
Assessment Instructions: The results of this assessment will be included in the school's grade for this semester.
All participants will receive basic resource rewards, and the top performers in each group will receive additional cultivation resources (see reward plan for details).
Please arrive early to warm up.
"What? Rock climbing training?"
He looked at it three times to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
Strength test: rock climbing!?
Su Chen took a deep breath.
Strength is his absolute weakness.
Rock climbing... is his weakest point.
To be honest, after arriving in this new era, he felt that many of the subjects in martial arts training were simply not designed by humans.
Take this incident for example... the back hill of the school has a 200-meter-high field, at a 90-degree angle, vertical.
The rock face is densely covered with artificial supports, each with different spacing, size, and shape.
Five trips!
The climbing height is one thousand meters!
And I still have to carry a 30-kilogram load!
It relies almost entirely on arm strength.
After climbing up, descend quickly using a safety rope.
Then climb again, then descend again.
The entire process is timed.
"Sigh, this kind of thing is hard to explain to guys who've never climbed a cliff before..."
Su Chen closed his eyes and recalled his experience from the last rock climbing assessment.
The joint entrance exam for ten schools tested fist strength.
His ranking in a single subject was 595th.
If you're taking a rock climbing exam...
Su Chen silently estimated in his mind that he would drop at least a hundred places.
They could potentially drop to outside the top 700.
"Sigh~!"
"In that case, it will be difficult to gain a lot of points through the major progress mechanism."
Su Chen sighed heavily and lay back down on Xiao Zi's stomach.
However, upon further reflection, he felt that this might not necessarily be a bad thing.
During the three days of training, he was struggling with one thing: with limited energy points, how to balance allocating them to Shadowless Step and to power-based martial arts techniques?
In the same amount of training time, the experience points gained from the Shadowless Step are three to four times that of the combined experience points from the Mountain Opening Fist, Overlord Body Technique, and Ming Jin Technique.
The price-performance ratio is in a completely different league.
But the college entrance examination doesn't only test speed.
If his Overlord Body Technique and Mountain-Opening Fist can both reach the "beginner level"...
A single strength subject can improve your score by at least five points!
Five points, and fifty thousand lives were lost!
"Damn it!"
"practice!"
Su Chen grumbled and prepared to stand up.
As soon as my feet touched the ground, a feeling of unsteadiness washed over me, and I fell backward uncontrollably.
He thought he was going to fall back onto the track again.
As a result, my back bumped into something soft.
Looking back.
It's Xiao Zi.
A large, silver-white dog had somehow crouched down behind him and caught him with its body.
The man and the dog looked at each other.
Su Chen paused for a moment, then smiled.
He reached out and ruffled the purple mane on Little Purple's neck, his fingers sinking into the thick, soft fur.
"here you go!"
Little Purple tilted its head, then stuck out its tongue and licked Su Chen's face.
It was damp and slightly warm.
"Haha~ Okay, okay, stop licking."
Su Chen smiled and pushed Xiao Zi's head away, then stood up, supporting himself on its back.
My legs are still a little weak, but at least I can stand up.
He stretched his sore shoulders and headed towards the training room.
Work like crazy as long as you don't die from exhaustion!
.......
Cultivation can be tedious, but it can also be enjoyable.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Thursday.
noon.
Sunlight streamed obliquely through the glass windows of the meditation room, casting bright patches of light on the floor.
The spot of light moved slowly over time, shifting from the doorway to beside the prayer cushion...
Inside the meditation room.
Little Purple was fast asleep, lying on the mat by the door with its tail draped over its nose.
Su Chen, who was on the futon, slowly opened his eyes.
A faint blue light flashed in his eyes, as if some kind of transparent power had flowed through his pupils for a moment before dissipating.
He looked down at his arms.
The inside of my right forearm, about three finger widths below my elbow, is slightly warm at this moment.
The twentieth acupoint.
It is also one of the three major acupoints in the first level of the Mountain Opening Fist.
Quze point!
It's finally open!
Su Chen's lips slowly curled up.
He brought up his skill panel.
【Mountain-Splitting Fist Lv1 (228/1000)】
【Overlord Body Technique lv1 (385/1000)】
【Ming Jin Jue lv1 (726/1000)】
Three days of hard training.
The level of the Mountain-Opening Fist skill increased from 36 to 228, gaining 192 experience points.
Based on Su Chen's experience over the past few days, 200 is a hurdle for those who are just beginning to understand the basics!
In other words, his Mountain-Opening Fist has already entered the first stage – the initial glimpse of the basics! He already possesses considerable practical combat ability.
But what Su Chen found truly outrageous was not the Mountain-Splitting Fist.
It's the Overlord Body Technique!
It rose from 103 to 385, a gain of 282 experience points.
This happened without any acupoints being activated; it just swelled up like that.
Moreover… Su Chen stared at the panel for two seconds.
The experience progress of the Overlord Body Technique is almost twice that of the Mountain-Opening Fist.
"Am I practicing boxing or body training...?"
Su Chen muttered something to himself, then looked at Ming Jinjue.
From 644 to 726, it rose by 82 points.
It's just average, nothing special.
It seems that the connection between Ming Jin Jue and Kai Shan Quan is indeed not as strong as that between Ba Ti Jue.
As for the 'eldest brother'...
Su Chen's gaze shifted to the line about the Shadowless Step.
【Shadowless Step Lv3 (1611/3000)】
In three days, I gained 729 experience points.
Once this number comes out, the previous few moments seem insignificant.
However, the experience gain rate of the Shadowless Step is clearly decreasing!
During these three days of training, he practiced the Shadowless Step for a total of twenty hours, averaging more than thirty points per hour, which seems quite high.
But now, in reality, it's only seven or eight o'clock an hour later.
"We've hit a bottleneck!"
Su Chen silently made his judgment.
His Yin Gu acupoint has only recently opened, his ninth acupoint is still being nurtured, and he has only just begun to touch the edge of his tenth acupoint.
If the acupoints are not opened, the flow of spiritual energy will be obstructed.
If your psionic energy isn't flowing smoothly, your experience points will increase slowly!
There are also abnormal individuals who, with only the second level of the Shadowless Step, can step into the third stage—achieving a slight degree of success.
But it's too difficult!
"However..." Su Chen sensed the condition of the acupoints in his body, "Although these two acupoints are not yet activated, the ninth and tenth acupoints have grown considerably stronger."
It shouldn't be long before it opens!
Overall, the situation is stable and improving.
Su Chen was planning his next training session when his phone vibrated.
He opened it and saw that it was sent by Zhang Yan.
