Chapter 8: The Power of the Rapier
After school, Chen Shouyi secretly opened the attribute panel.
“Will:11”
He opened his eyes slightly in disbelief. He had seen it once in the morning. At that time, his will attribute was only 10.5, but in just one afternoon, his will jump to 11, which was the first attribute to reach 11 among all his attributes.
Chen Shouyi remembered that in the martial arts class, he seemed to have overcome the cowardice and inferiority deep in his character, and boldly walked up to the front desk, remembering that he could communicate with his classmates freely after class and quick thinking...
Thinking about it at this moment, he was a little incredible, and he felt like he had changed.
It turns out that this is will!
He thought a lot.
I am indeed different.
Feeling that he was used to placing his chest and shrinking his back, he suddenly raised his head and looked ahead.
...
Sun Xin, who was walking next to him, did not notice the subtle changes in Chen Shouyi. He grabbed his scalp with force, and the dander flew. Then he wiped his pants with greasy hands and asked the two of them, "What are you going to do on the weekend?"
"What else can I do when I sleep and play games?" Zhao Yifeng said.
"I haven't decided yet, so I might sign up for a cram school." Chen Shouyi said after thinking about it.
Dongning No. 5 Middle School has not a strong atmosphere for martial arts. The martial arts classes are mainly to exercise students' physical functions. The content is pitiful. The light saber-like lunge and straight pricking of light saberry will take a whole year. In addition, there are only some sprints and some strength training, which cannot meet the personalized requirements at all.
Moreover, his lunge straight thrust is on the right track, and the only thing he lacks is the speed of muscle reaction, which requires thousands of times and tens of thousands of repeated practice and tempering.
Let the muscle force be completely run-in and solidify the body, and let the lunge straight prick become the body's instinct, but this cannot be achieved in a short period of time.
He felt it was time to learn other basic sword styles.
"You two are so bored!" Sun Xin rolled his eyes and said.
...
For some reason, Zhao Yifeng was abnormally silent today and didn't speak much along the way. However, Chen Shouyi was not a delicate person and didn't feel anything unusual.
He and the two of them had different paths, so they separated after taking the bicycle.
...
"Dad, mom, I'll be back!"
He put his bicycle in the back door garage. He walked into the restaurant, but no one responded. His father and mother were in the restaurant with TV, and there were many shop owners next to him.
"What happened?" His heart skipped a beat.
He quickly looked up at the TV. The TV was playing a news. The beautiful host looked solemn and serious:
"According to the information learned by our reporter, this ferocious bird from another world comes from the large wormhole No. 13541, 15,000 meters above the ground. It broke through the fire blockade of the army and flew hundreds of kilometers with injuries. It was shot down by the fighter jets that rushed to the ground and finally fell in Zhongming Street, Ningzhou City...
Chen Shouyi was shocked when he heard this. Ningzhou is a prefecture-level city belonging to Dongning City, only a few dozen kilometers away.
He looked at the video, and the scene in the camera was shaking violently. A ferocious bird was struggling constantly on a bustling street. Countless crowds around him were running wildly in horror, screaming one after another.
This is a huge giant bird, and its size occupies two lanes. No bird on Earth can be so large. Even the largest terrestrial creature, the African elephant, is not worth mentioning compared to it.
Its body has been seriously injured, and many places are covered in blood and bleeding from the wounds. However, this terrible injury seems to have stimulated its ferociousness. It keeps hitting the people running on the street, leaving behind corpses on the ground.
...
Since the Earth and the other world merged twenty years ago, various ferocious beasts and barbarians around the world have emerged one after another.
The gravity of another world is three times that of the earth. Even if it is just an ordinary creature, it becomes extremely dangerous once it arrives on the earth. Every time it appears, it will cause panic among humans.
In fact, the most dangerous thing is not these creatures, but viruses and bacteria from another world.
In the past few years of integration with the other world, more than ten fatal acute infectious diseases of Class A were outbreaks around the world, and more than one billion people died unnaturally, and even the population of some small countries died.
Fortunately, with the rapid development of medical technology and the gradually producing related antibodies in the human body, this large-scale death incident has gradually disappeared and fewer heard of it.
...
A few minutes later, perhaps too bloody, the news of the breakdown was quickly cut off, and the restaurant crowd gradually dispersed while discussing.
"Here I'm back." Chen's mother, who had a pale face, seemed to be paying attention to Chen Shouyi's return.
"kindness!"
"Don't think too much. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you to eat." Chen Dawei pretended to turn off the TV as if nothing had happened, and asked with a smile.
...
Chen Shouyi opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he felt that his parents obviously didn't want him to mention it.
"Just let's eat vegetables and pork ribs rice!"
After saying that, he paused and said, "I want to sign up for a cram school this Saturday."
Faced with his son's rare progress, Chen's mother was overjoyed even though she was disturbed by the terrible news just now: "As long as it is useful to the college entrance examination, your parents will support you. Why do we work hard to make money every day? Isn't it still easier for you to live in the future and have a decent job."
"But I want to sign up for a martial arts cram school!"
Chen's mother was slightly stunned when she heard this. She was just smiling, but her face changed in a blink of an eye.
"What, you are already in your third year of high school, and you are still practicing martial arts?
It is OK to take some time every day to exercise your body, but you can't do it.
This thing depends on talent. If you have the talent of your sister, your mother will let you learn it immediately without saying a word. Although our family is not rich, we are not short of this amount of money. It’s just that you can’t afford to waste time.”
Chen Dawei didn't speak next to him, and obviously he didn't support wasting time here. If his son still had hope in college, there was no hope at all in martial arts.
Chen Shouyi was silent. If it were the past, under the power of his mother, he had always been obedient and could only obey silently, but today it seemed that a strong thought was driving him to prove something:
"Mom, I haven't relaxed in my studies. I have been studying hard these days. I just want to squeeze out some time to prepare for martial arts and make preparations for both hands.
Especially recently, I feel that I have made great progress and my body has become stronger. Today, the teacher praised me specifically in martial arts class, and I feel that I have great hope.
Dad and Mom, I have always listened to you. If you let me go east, I will never go west. I also know you are doing your best for me, but today I hope you can consider my ideas."
Chen's mother opened her mouth slightly when she heard it, and looked at Chen Dawei for a moment, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Is this still taciturn and can't beat a son with just three sticks?
"Then let me tell you first, why did your martial arts teacher praise you?" Chen's mother's attitude was a little relaxed, but she still didn't believe it. She knew her son best and had done something well since childhood.
"Because my lunge straight thrust is the best in the class." Chen Shouyi said proudly.
To prove it, he took out a chopstick from the dining table as a sword.
It was rare to show it once in front of his parents. He was inevitably a little proud and stabbed towards the wall without thinking.
From pushing the ground with your toes, exerting force on your whole body, to stabbing it out, it is as fast as lightning, and the standard is as fast as textbooks.
There was a "puff".
The next moment, the wooden chopstick pierced through the surface of the ceramic tiles and half of it penetrated into the wall.
"Uh!" Chen Shouyi was stunned. He didn't expect that his lunge was so powerful. He thought that the chopsticks would break directly. After all, the ceramic tiles posted on the wall were extremely hard. According to his long-standing concept, how could wooden chopsticks pierce?
