14: Chapter 14 Awakener! Physical Talent, Immortality! Weapon Templates Unlocked!

Killing two birds with one stone!

Lu Qingyun hadn't really cared about Principal Mu Mingsheng's reward; after all, what the System provided was bound to be more important!

And that was indeed the case; the reward for completing the quest was actually a new initial Boss Mechanism!

You have to know, the reason Lu Qingyun's strength could far exceed his peers nowadays was in large part due to relying on the two bug-level Boss Mechanisms: Out-of-Combat Recovery and Infinite Growth!

Each one was heaven-defying!

Now, as long as he completed this quest, he would obtain a third Boss Mechanism!

By then, it would surely bring a huge boost to his strength!

Moreover, the cultivation method problem that had always plagued Lu Qingyun had now been solved.

Principal Mu Mingsheng had acted immediately, offering a cultivation method for the Aperture-Opening Realm.

This truly gave him a great surprise and also demonstrated an affirmation of his talent, implying that it wouldn't be long before he could reach the Aperture-Opening Realm!

"No. 1 High School, Xing Li."

Lu Qingyun's eyes flickered, and the scene of his predecessor having his legs broken alive flashed through his mind.

Misery, despair, pain.

All those negative emotions enveloped him until the coldness in his eyes pierced through them!

Just as Lu Qingyun was preparing to head to No. 1 High School immediately, Principal Mu Mingsheng held him back.

Just as Lu Qingyun looked at him in confusion, Principal Mu Mingsheng waved his hand, telling the teachers who were watching the show to take the students from their respective classes back.

Then he signaled to Lu Qingyun, having him follow him back to the principal's office.

This was a place exclusive to Principal Mu Mingsheng; the space wasn't particularly large, but it was decorated with great character.

On the wall hung two sharp longswords, which looked quite extraordinary, flashing with a cold, biting light.

After brewing a pot of tea for himself, Principal Mu Mingsheng spoke: "You're just planning to go over there like this?"

"If that's the case, then you'd better not go. I don't want you going over there using my name, only to get beaten down in less than three minutes; that would be a disgrace to me, Principal Mu Mingsheng."

He spoke very directly, clearly indicating that he was not satisfied with Lu Qingyun's current strength.

He did not believe that with his current strength, he could sweep through No. 1 High School.

In his view, being able to defeat Li Dagang was indeed good.

But to challenge an entire school alone, one must possess strength that can be called completely overwhelming!

No. 1 High School was the top dog among the many martial arts high schools in Jiangcheng.

The probability of students there advancing to become a Martial Artist was as high as twenty percent!

Although this ratio might not seem surprising, everything is afraid of comparison.

No. 7 High School was such a large school, but even if all the Martial Artists were gathered into Martial Arts Class 1, there would only be twenty-something of them.

It is easy to imagine how powerful one must be to challenge such a school alone!

"I naturally know that you have your own reliance to have made such a huge leap in just a few days."

"But... have you ever thought that you might not be a special case?"

Principal Mu Mingsheng's eyes, as he looked at Lu Qingyun, became extremely profound, as if piercing through his heart and seeing...

"Nonsense!"

Lu Qingyun didn't buy this pretentious act at all.

Could he not know whether he was a special case or not?

Could it be that you could find another transmigrator who possesses a system?

Even if there really were one, they wouldn't be in this godforsaken little city of Jiangcheng.

Seeing Lu Qingyun's look of disbelief, Principal Mu Mingsheng, wearing an expression of confidence that he controlled everything, leaned back in his chair and chuckled.

"The world is vast, and there are all sorts of wonders."

"Ever since that meteorite from beyond the sky crashed onto Blue Star, the emergence of fierce beasts and Martial Artists has caused the whole world to undergo earth-shaking changes. And because our human population is massive, it is only natural that such a special group would appear."

"Some people are born wielding flames, like a Flame Monarch, capable of burning everything. Others awaken spatial talents later in life, attacking like ghosts, completely impossible to predict where the next attack will come from. These people are collectively known as the Awakened. In the Martial Examination, they start at least at a key martial arts university."

"And you belong to the category of those who Awakened later in life. If I'm not mistaken, the talent you Awakened belongs to the physical category. And it is precisely because of this that you were able to have your strength skyrocket in such a short time!"

Principal Mu Mingsheng kept staring at Lu Qingyun, wanting to see a look of shock in his eyes.

But he failed.

Lu Qingyun shrugged, without the slightest bit of surprise on his face.

Could he not know whether he was an Awakened or not?

However, being considered an Awakened didn't seem wrong either.

After all... his physical body was indeed very special.

Because the race displayed on his panel was Slime, his body seemed to have the characteristics of a Slime.

Even if a part was missing, it could grow back on its own.

Moreover, coupled with the body digitalization and the Out-of-Combat Recovery functions.

The effect presented was extremely terrifying!

Even if Lu Qingyun only had his head left, as long as he still had a sliver of HP, by playing dead for a bit, after five seconds, he would be a new man again!

This kind of immortal body was incomparably stronger than any physical talent.

So he didn't deny it and tacitly accepted what Principal Mu Mingsheng said.

After failing to act cool, Principal Mu Mingsheng coughed lightly and began to talk about serious matters.

"Awakened like you, although rare, always appear one or two every year."

"They are basically hidden tightly to prevent being targeted by some cultist scum. But if you go to pick a fight in my name, that old geezer at No. 1 High School will definitely send those Awakened to deal with you. By then, even though physical-type Awakened are known as the strongest in the early stages, it will be hard to defend against them."

"So, with your current strength, it's not enough!"

"I have already looked at your file; before you were crippled, you only practiced the basic martial art Mountain-Shaking Fist, and your proficiency wasn't even that great."

"You rely entirely on your physical body to fight head-on; this is fine when you are overwhelmingly stronger, but if you go up against the same kind of Awakened, you will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage from the start!"

"Therefore, I want to give you a period of special training, and incidentally teach you some martial arts and basic weapon usage, so you won't have too big of a shortcoming in that area."

"On the day before the Martial Examination, I will personally take you to No. 1 High School! I want that old geezer to weep bitterly during the Martial Examination!"

Lu Qingyun opened his mouth, just about to say that his Mountain-Shaking Fist had already reached the level of comprehending Fist Intent, and that he already had two other martial arts.

But upon hearing that Principal Mu Mingsheng wanted to teach him some martial arts.

He silently closed his mouth.

Choosing to get a wave of martial arts first.

Martial arts are expensive!

They cost tens or hundreds of thousands at every turn!

Moreover, given Principal Mu Mingsheng's level, the grade of the martial arts he teaches shouldn't be too low, right?

"I have already made arrangements for the martial arts; I will give them to you later."

"Now, come, try this!"

Principal Mu Mingsheng took down a longsword flashing with cold light from the wall and handed it to Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun had always been indifferent to weapons.

Especially things like swords; after all, this isn't some cultivation world where you can fly on a sword and look incredibly cool.

If he had to choose, he would prefer using a saber.

Of course, no matter what it was, what he believed in and trusted the most was still his own fists!

One punch for every kid, how great!

And just as Lu Qingyun wanted to push the longsword back, the moment he touched it, the words of refusal that were about to pop out of his mouth were instantly retracted.

Because in his mind, multiple notifications flashed!

[Detected that the host has come into contact with a weapon, and your own template has been upgraded to Slime Warrior!]

[Triggered Quest: Seriously swing any weapon one hundred times. Reward: Mastery of the selected weapon, Level EXP +100, Free Attribute Point +1]
