Chapter 7: Sparring
While caressing his bloated stomach, Niu Xu lay on the bed in satisfaction. In that instance, he felt an indescribable feeling of bliss and comfort. Since he did not have a good sleep for the past couple of days, he started snoring right away upon closing his eyes.
In his slumber, Niu Xu had an extremely weird dream: He dreamt that he somehow came to the mouth of a huge volcano, the scorching temperature caused his whole body to become searingly hot and drops of sweat trickled down continuously. However, no matter how hard he ran, he was still at the same place, inescapable…
Next morning, 6am.
Niu Xu woke up on time with help of the vibration from his smartwatch.
After adopting a sitting posture, Niu Xu felt indescribably refreshed, as if every cell in his body has absorbed enough nutrients, brimming with vitality.
After stretching in habit, the bones in Niu Xu's body emitted popping like sounds that were similar to the sounds of roasting beans. At this time, Niu Xu felt that his body condition has never been better than this before.
Suddenly, a waft of pungent sweat smell attracted all of Niu Xu's attention. He immediately looked down and realised that after a single night, his mattress and quilt were thoroughly drenched in his sweat.
What made him even more surprised was that his body was covered with a layer of sticky tar which looked extremely appalling.
The bewildered Niu Xu had no choice but to visit the bathroom to scrub himself clean, it was then did he remove tar like substance. It was almost 7am when he finally finished dumping in his mattress and quilt into the shitty washing machine.
After squeezing his nose and shoving in a green toothpaste-like substance as breakfast, Niu Xu took out several self-made lead bags, which weighed a total of more than 50kg, and tied them to his legs. He then wore a pair of baggy jeans to cover them.
Under the request of his grandfather, Niu Xu had been repeating this sort of weight training since young. Except that in this 3 years, due to the lack of nutrients to supplement his body, he had no choice but to cancel the training. However, he felt quite energized today and decided to take out those weights…
After a small jog, Niu Xu took no more than 20 minutes to reach the school gates. Habitually, he wiped off the non-existent sweat on his forehead, instantly, he felt suspicious: Normally when running to school without weights, he would need near to 30 minutes and even perspired profusely, since when was it this relaxing. After linking it to the scenario in the morning, he knew that his physical fitness had improved by a large margin.
After pondering a bit more, he concluded that the only possibility was due to the consumption of last night's dinner. When he recalled that there were still quite a lot of boar meat left, his breathing started to become more rapid as he thought of a brilliant way to increase his strength.
Exuberant, Niu Xu walked into class 3 of year 2.
The class was crowded with people and they seemed to be surrounding a male and a female that were seating beside each other. They crowded around them just like several stars holding the moon, and this pair of couple was evidently enjoying the sort of feeling.
Regarding this couple, the male was Shao Wu and the female was Tina/Tan Na. Their strength was the strongest in the class and were at the ApprenticeWarrior intermediate stage. Rumors had it that Shao Wu was already half a step into ApprenticeWarrior advanced stage, able to breakthrough anytime.
The sound of Niu Xu opening the classroom door attracted the masses' attention, however, after seeing who it was, they quickly shifted their eyes as if avoiding a plague. To be precise, Niu Xu had been disregarded by everybody.
Facing this kind of treatment for one year, Niu Xu was already used to it. They were just some side character with attitudes similar to their materialistic and complacent parents.
When he just entered high school, he was the strongest in the class and was sought after by many people. However, due to the slow growth in his strength and his identity as an orphan, he was soon abandoned by all his previous followers. If not for his sub par strength, he would have long been bullied by his classmates.
Niu Xu chose an obscure corner in the class and sat down to take a nap. Unbeknownst to him, Tina/Tan Na was casting a gaze of curiosity in his direction which caused Shao Wu to be infuriated as he sneakily took a glance at Tina/Tan Na.
The cultural lessons in the morning were extremely dull and the irresponsible teacher unhurriedly read off from the textbook, he simply did not care whether the students were sleeping or talking about love.
Normally, Niu Xu would sleep until lunch time then woke up, but after last night's rest, he was so energetic that he did not feel a sense of drowsiness after lying on the table for quite some time.
He took out his speckless textbook and followed the monotonous reading of the teacher. Surprisingly, reading the cultural textbook used to be as difficult as reading a heavenly book, now, he was able to memorise and understand everything after a glance.
'F*ck! Isn't this the path of a scholar?!' Niu Xu thought about it in a trance. 'This sort of situation had nothing to do with the boar meat, in fact, it must be related to the weird greenish substance he drank back in the primordial age.'
Subconsciously, Niu Xu carefully sized up the jade pendant on his chest. This treasure could connect to the primordial age which was much more mysterious than he had previously imagined.
Under the process of a rare learning opportunity, the whole morning of cultural lesson flew by in a flash. After eating a bland but free lunch, it was time for martial arts training class.
To the no.52 National High School of Twin Towers District, it does not have specialized training rooms. Hence, they could only make do by clearing the tables and chairs to one side and placed some tattered spring mats in the school hall. It was a single training hall shared by all the students.
Therefore, after Niu Xu and the rest changed into their easy-fitting training suit and arrived at the hall, about 700 people appeared at the same time. They went to their coordinated area which had an appointed teacher giving out guidance.
Apparently, form teacher Liu was the martial arts guidance teacher for year 2 class 3.
After changing into a set military like instructor suit, the military retired teacher Liu no longer displayed a benign countenance and his dim gaze changed into a cold one that radiated killing intent.
All the school based basic martial art techniques and other shitty cultivation techniques were all taught finished in year 1. Starting from year 2, the syllabus tend to focus more on self-cultivation of the students and the instructors would point the flaws of their cultivation.
Thus, after the attendance taking at the gather point, the masses separated to train individually. Unlike normally finding an obscure corner to train, he strode towards the strength testing machine in the center of the hall.
Based on today's body condition, he was confident that he could exert a more than 400kg ApprenticeWarrior intermediate stage punch.
After walking a few steps, he realised that his pathway was blocked by the sneering Shao Wu and his bunch of lackeys. After which, Shao Wu frivolously threw a piece of towel at the feet of Niu Xu.
"Student Niu Xu, I want to spar with you," said Shao Wu at the same time.
