Chapter 1 How many floors does it take to carry a bag of rice?

Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School, Class 3-4, Grade 12.

Ji Ruo sat in the second to last row of the classroom, next to the window, covering his right eye with his left hand and looking out the window.

On the podium, the teacher was talking with saliva flying everywhere. Ji Ruo pretended not to care, but in fact he was listening very attentively.

"Students, the college entrance examination will be held in three days. The teacher has no other requests for you except that you can survive by then."

Ji Ruo's mouth twitched. Even though it had been two months since he traveled through time, he still wasn't used to it.

It's outrageous that people can die in the college entrance examination!

But there is nothing we can do; the environment is there.

In 2025 AD, a secret realm descended, countless demons were rampant, and foreign races were in chaos.

Humans rose up to resist, but the advent of the secret realm brought something they called aura, which was of great benefit to all living things.

Monsters have all kinds of strange abilities.

The monsters have thick skin and flesh, and their physical fitness is extraordinary, so it is difficult to hit them with ordinary firearms - mainly because they are difficult to aim at.

Coupled with the advent of demons, the mining of various mineral resources has become extremely difficult.

The initial stage of the confrontation was relatively okay, but later on, humanity consumed a large amount of its stored resources, the battle lines became longer and longer, and it was unable to build supply stations... so that humanity was defeated in the middle stage of the confrontation.

Later, in desperation, humans even used nuclear weapons!

The effect is quite obvious.

Countless demons were killed or wounded, but their numbers were too great.

So humans began to use nuclear bombs to clean up the world.

However, the radiation after the nuclear explosion caused the demons to mutate, and some demons gradually evolved into silicon-based and even energy-state life forms!

Radiation mutates monsters and causes disasters on the land...

At that time, humans were almost extinct.

Fortunately, a great master of Xingyiquan with extraordinary talent appeared at that time.

By observing and learning from demons, he gradually developed a way to strengthen himself with spiritual energy - martial arts!

The warrior's qi and blood power can effectively kill demons.

This great master solemnly told the world: Use spiritual energy to defeat spiritual energy!

So the whole nation became martial.

To this day, it has been a thousand years.

Technology has developed again and is much more advanced than the world before Ji Ruo traveled through.

Of course, martial arts is more important.

In this world, everyone values ​​martial arts and respects martial arts!

Therefore, in this environment, all children will learn martial arts from a young age, and when they take the college entrance examination, they will be thrown into a secret place that has long been controlled by humans for trial!

Although it has been under control, it is still a real bloody massacre and accidents happen from time to time.

To this day, the death rate of college entrance examination candidates is still over 3% each year, and even more people fail the exam because of fear and are unable to hunt down the demons.

There are two parts in the college entrance examination, the liberal arts test and the military test.

The literary exam had ended as early as the second year of high school. At that time, Ji Ruo had not yet traveled through time, but according to his memory, his grades were good at that time.

At the podium, the teacher kept giving instructions on some matters concerning the college entrance examination. They were all old-fashioned things, but no student in the classroom felt impatient.

"Ding-a-ling~"

The bell rang for the end of class, and the head teacher took a deep look at the students below, as if he wanted to imprint the faces of all the students in his mind.

"My fellow students, you must survive!"

"This is your last assignment in high school. No one can be left behind in this exam! Remember that!"

"Remember!"

The students responded enthusiastically.

The head teacher waved his hands and said, "Okay, class is over. Remember to come to me after the exam to hand in your homework."

After saying that, he left the classroom.

The classmates in the class immediately started talking to each other.

There were worries and excitement, but in the end, no one was afraid and no one intended to give up.

Ji Ruo stood up, draped his school uniform over his shoulders, covered his eyes and walked out of the classroom.

"Classmates!"

At this time, the class monitor Liang Shixian stood up and said, "I think our class should unite and work as a team in the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain..."

He urged everyone to make safety their primary goal, and if given the chance, to try hunting monsters. If possible, they could even work together to get into a good university.

The students naturally agreed that teamwork was possible in the martial arts exam.

That's not cheating. Fighting against demons and aliens is never a one-person job.

Ji Ruo naturally agreed.

There is strength in numbers!

However, Liang Shixian noticed that Ji Ruo had been covering his eyes, so he asked:

"Ji Ruo, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Ji Ruo snorted coldly and said, "Humph! You won't understand even if I tell you. I am the reincarnation of the Evil King. This eye is the Evil King's true eye. It contains a power that can destroy the world!"

Students: "..."

Liang Shixian clicked his toes in his shoes.

It's so embarrassing!

"You... forget it, just remember to follow us when the time comes."

"Oh, don't worry, I will protect you!"

Liang Shixian: “…”

However, at this moment, Ji Ruo loosened his hand that was covering his eyes, changed his hand, covered his other eye, and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

One classmate couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there power sealed in your eyes? Why did you switch to one hand?"

Ji Ruo sneered: "My hands are sore, is that not okay?"

“…”

They are used to it.

Recently, Ji Ruo seems to be in a state of confusion.

"In short, go back and prepare well. The college entrance examination is no small matter." Liang Shixian instructed.

"Don't worry, I know everything!"

…

Ji Ruo kept covering his eyes as he walked out of the school, and when his hands felt sore he changed one.

Suddenly he sighed, put his hand down, and said helplessly: "As expected, pure middle school second-year learning is not enough? How should this achievement be triggered?"

Of course, it may also be related to his lame middle school mentality - he has never been a middle school student in his past life or this life!

Ji Ruo went to the supermarket near his home and bought a bag of rice.

"Xiao Ruo, the martial arts exam will be held in a few days. Are you confident?"

The cashier at the supermarket knew Ji Ruo and asked with a smile.

Ji Ruo said confidently, "Of course, otherwise why would I buy this bag of rice?"

The cashier was stunned: "Come to think of it, I remember you bought a bag of rice the day before yesterday... What did you buy this bag for?"

Ji Ruo smiled mysteriously: "Auntie, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone."

“Yeah!”

She nodded seriously, thinking that Ji Ruo really had some secret to tell her.

Ji Ruo whispered, "I'll take it back to practice Iron Sand Palm."

Aunt: “Hmm, huh?”

Ji Ruo chuckled and said, "To be honest, I didn't control the heat when I was practicing Iron Sand Palm two days ago, and the bag was already cooked!"

Aunt:"???"

"Ha, ha, Xiaoruo, as long as you are happy."

She was a little confused. This child was quite normal before! Why did he suddenly become so childish recently?

Ji Ruo said goodbye to her with a smile and walked out of the supermarket carrying the rice.

Also, put one hand directly into the rice.

Ji Ruo couldn't help showing a comfortable expression at the feeling of having his whole hand wrapped in rice, and the cashier auntie behind him was so upset when she saw this.

But she didn't know what to say.

Ji Ruo carried a bag of rice and walked into the residential building: "How many floors does it take to carry a bag of rice?"

The palm of the hand thrusts in and out.

Except for Ji Ruo, no one else could hear the voice that kept ringing in his ears——

[Iron Sand Palm Proficiency +1]

Young people are not childish!

He is really practicing Iron Sand Palm!

As for why rice is used for training...

Who gave him the golden finger of 'children's achievement system'?

Unlock achievements to obtain and upgrade corresponding skills.

In children's imagination, sticking palms into rice is just like practicing iron sand palm!
