Chapter 2: Innate Ability

Chapter 2: Innate Ability

"By consuming a substantial amount of nourishment, your salamander avatar has gained evolution points."

"Attributes page generation in progress... Page generation completed."

As two lines of transparent text appeared, a similarly transparent page frame materialized in front of Chen Chu, leaving him stunned.

Physique: 7 (Average 10)

Strength: 7

Agility: 6

Spirit: 10

Ability: Soul Splitting

Avatar: Six-horned Salamander (Ordinary amphibian, adult body length 30 centimeters, battle power 0)

Level: None

Innate Ability: None

Evolution points: 1/10 (When evolution points are full, evolution will be available)

"Attributes page..." Chen Chu slowly exhaled, suppressing his excitement. This was like the novels, anime, and gaming that he used to enjoy, which made it easier to accept this unexpected turn of events. Now he understood why the six-horned salamander had become his avatar. It was probably related to his innate ability, Soul Splitting.

Glancing over the data showed that, other than his Spirit, all of his attributes were lower than those of the average person. This didn't surprise Chen Chu; his body was genuinely weak.

His gaze then fell on the data of his avatar below, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. A fantasy-esque attributes page, and an avatar that could evolve by eating—with these conditions, he could get by in life comfortably with little to no effort.

To follow the martial path, a good physique was the bare minimum requirement.

Chen Chu was not hopeful about his potential in martial arts, but he was also not discouraged by the hand he was dealt. With the attribute page and an avatar that evolved, he still stood a chance of reaching the top.

Soon, Chen Chu parted ways with his brother, and continued walking for about ten minutes before reaching the entrance of a school called Nantian Martial Arts High School, passing streets filled with cars that were dropping off school kids.

Due to the resurgence of spiritual energy, this world's technological development was slowed, much slower than Earth in general. These luxury cars, while looking sleek and modern, were fueled by oil or electricity, and levitation technology hadn't been created yet.

Following the crowd, Chen Chu calmly walked into the school. With the guidance of the bulletin board, he made his way to class 1C on the second floor of the building. There were already several students present, making the room noisy. Glancing around, Chen Chu randomly picked a seat at the back near the windows. Never thought I would be going through high school again after being transmigrated.

Soon, the classroom was full of students, around forty of them with an almost equal ratio of males to females. At 9 A.M., a woman in her thirties walked into the classroom, dressed formally and with a serious expression on her face. The first thing she did upon entering the classroom was write down the words "Chen Qi" on the blackboard. She then stood on the lecturing stand, looking at the students below, and said sternly, "My name is Chen Qi. From today onwards, I am your class teacher."

She then pointed at two students in the front row. "You can be the temporary class representative. And you, the martial arts representative. Any objections?"

The two students she appointed were a male and a female. The male student, who seemed excited, stood up and exclaimed, "No objections, Madam!"

The female student nodded. "I have no objections either."

"Very well. Later, the two of you should find a few people and collect the study material in the textbook room."

"Yes, Madam."

She then looked at all the students and said, "Today is the first day of school, so not much is happening. The main goal for you is to get to know everyone else in the classroom. After collecting your study material, you are free to go anywhere. You can go home or explore the school. Classes will officially start tomorrow.

"Also, you'll be sitting at your current seats from now on unless there are special circumstances. There are keys to the drawers under your desk. You can lock your study material in there so that you don't have to carry it around everyday. Alright, that's it."

With that, Chen Qi turned and left decisively and swiftly, leaving the students stunned. Even Chen Chu had never expected to meet such an awesome class teacher on the first day of high school. Or perhaps, was this the teaching style of this world?

Appointing two students as class representatives at random and giving such brief instructions before turning around and leaving... it was as if staying a second longer would waste her life. Weren't students supposed to introduce themselves and get to know each other to break the ice in this new environment?
