Translator: 549690339

The next day, early morning.

Accompanied by the noise from the outside world.

Now, with his senses incredibly sharp, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but open his eyes with some helplessness.

He sighed deeply.

He didn’t immediately get up.

Instead, he grabbed his phone and searched for earplugs on the online shopping mall.

Only after placing the order did Chen Sheng reluctantly climb out of bed.

He yawned and walked towards the bathroom.

After washing up, Chen Sheng started to make breakfast.

According to the schedule sent by Li Chenghu, the Martial Arts Hall is open from eight o’clock in the morning until six o’clock in the afternoon.

There was a restaurant and dormitory inside the Martial Arts Hall, and many students who were devoted to martial arts chose to live there.

But not Chen Sheng.

Right now, the tide of Qi had not yet stopped rising.

He had a premonition.

In the days to come, the world might undergo great changes.

And with the constant improvement of his attributes, his progress would only become faster and faster.

At that time,

Even with the title of a Qi-sensor, it might not be enough to cover up.

Being the first to be targeted.

Before his strength was enough, Chen Sheng didn’t want to be too high profile.

Going home every day, he could confidently increase his training intensity without worrying about drawing attention.

Going to the Martial Arts Hall in the morning.

Going to the gym in the afternoon.

Training at home in the evening.

This was the plan Chen Sheng arranged for himself.

After breakfast.

Chen Sheng changed into light clothes and went out directly.

“Twenty kilometers, I must finish today!”

Chen Sheng warmed up in place, while cheering himself up.

Then,

He took the first step and began to move forward.

Two and a half hours later.

Gasp for air, Chen Sheng finally arrived at the Martial Arts Hall.

He successfully completed the full course, and his Constitution attribute raised by 0.06.

The other two attributes increased by 0.01 each.

“20 kilometers, just average.”

Chen Sheng huffed like a cow, but still stubbornly insisted.

After resting for a brief moment,

He entered the hall.

Following the corridor all the way deep down.

It was nine o’clock in the morning.

There were already many people exercising on both sides of the corridor.

As for the deepest end of the training ground,

Chen Sheng could hear various noises from behind the door before even getting close.

Chen Sheng pushed the door open.

Sure enough.

On the field, more than a dozen people were scattered in various corners, training individually in groups of two or three.

Chen Sheng looked around.

He didn’t see Li Xingwu and his genius disciple Wu Ran.

So, who should he look for?

Just as Chen Sheng was feeling confused, a rough voice sounded in his ear.

“You are Uncle Li’s disciple, right?”

“Your name is Chen Sheng, right?”

Chen Sheng looked to his side.

A broad chest appeared in front of him.

A shadow loomed over him from above.

???

With a somewhat surprised gaze, Chen Sheng slowly raised his head.

Only then did he see the man’s face clearly.

This man was extremely tall with a body filled with solid muscle blocks, and had a somewhat honest and mature face, about thirty years old.

“I am Chen Sheng.”

“Who are you?”

Chen Sheng asked in doubt.

“The Grand Master told me to guide you in martial arts.”

“My name is Shi Jian, I am nineteen years old this year. Brother Chen, you can call me Little Shi or Stone.”

A palm the size of a pu fan stretched out in front of Chen Sheng.

Nineteen years old?!

Chen Sheng was about to shake hands with him.

Upon hearing this, his eyes widened in an instant.He looked at Shi Jian’s height.

Then he looked at the muscles on the opponent’s body.

You call this nineteen years old?!

Seeing Chen Sheng’s strange expression, Shi Jian immediately understood what he was thinking.

Every time he revealed his age, the reactions of others were the same.

Over time, he became used to it.

“Haha, I look more mature, this is also something I can’t help.”

“Little Brother Chen, shall we start now?”

Shi Jian laughed and proceeded to avoid the topic and talk about business.

Only then did Chen Sheng realize that his previous behavior was somewhat presumptuous and quickly regained a serious face.

“Up to you.”

The two headed towards the corner of the martial arts field together.

“Little Shi, is the Grand Master not here?”

While walking, Chen Sheng asked the question that was bugging him.

“The Grand Master is in the Inner Courtyard teaching his Direct Disciples.”

Shi Jian pointed towards a direction.

Following his finger, Chen Sheng noticed a wooden door in the corner of the training ground that didn’t fit the modern-style walls around it.

“In our Xingwu Gym, disciples are divided into three levels.”

“They are Disciples on Record, Official Disciples, and Direct Disciples.”

“Those who come to learn on their own initiative are Disciples on Record.”

“Disciples on Record with good talent can become Official Disciples.”

“As for the Direct Disciples…”

Shi Jian suddenly fell silent.

Not until Chen Sheng cast a puzzled look at him did he finally flash a smile.

“Little Brother Chen, don’t misunderstand, I’m not trying to keep you in suspense.”

“It’s just that those few Direct Disciples, they don’t belong to the same world as us.”

“Whether it’s their Qi-sensor or their martial arts talent, both far exceed ours.”

“Their cultivation in a few months is enough to make up for our years, or even more than a decade.”

“Plus the Grand Master’s favoritism towards them, providing the best guidance and resources.”

“So…”

As he said this,

Shi Jian’s face turned somewhat gloomy.

Chen Sheng immediately understood the situation.

It seems that the young and mature Shi Jian had been severely hit by those Direct Disciples…

“So Wu Ran is also one of the Direct Disciples, huh?”

“That’s right.” Shi Jian nodded. “Not only is he a Direct Disciple, but he is also the one with the strongest talent.”

“Two months ago, when he came to apprenticed, he had never even touched martial arts.”

“But now, none of us Official Disciples are his match.”

Hearing this,

An imperceptible look of amazement flashed in Chen Sheng’s eyes.

No wonder yesterday, that Wu Ran had a look of utmost arrogance.

“But don’t worry, Little Brother Chen, although we are not geniuses, at least we are Qi-sensors, far superior to ordinary people.”

“We have a bright future ahead.”

Thinking, Shi Jian mistakenly thought Chen Sheng was disheartened.

He quickly patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder to comfort him.

Although it was a misunderstanding,

But Chen Sheng didn’t want to disappoint Shi Jian’s kindness and could only go with the flow, giving him a smile.

As they talked,

The two arrived at a corner of the Practice Martial Field.

“Little Brother Chen, have you ever practiced martial arts before?”

Shi Jian turned around and faced Chen Sheng.

“Not at all, a few days ago Tiger Bro, who is now my Master, taught me the Three-body Stance.”

Hearing that,

Shi Jian pondered for a brief moment.

“Since you have no foundation, we’ll have to start from scratch.”

“First, perform the Three-Body Technique, and I’ll guide you.”

With hands on his hips, Shi Jian looked extremely serious.

Among the Official Disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, he was the youngest with strength that could barely be considered average.

Now that he had the rare opportunity to guide others, he was particularly serious about it.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng had no choice but to begin practicing the Three-body Stance diligently as instructed.

However, he reserved some caution and didn’t practice according to his current Three-body Stance level.

Instead, he followed how he practiced at Level 1.

Three minutes later.

For some unknown reason,

Shi Jian still didn’t make any moves.

Chen Sheng glanced at him,

Only to see him standing still,

His facial expression had frozen.
