Lin Zhan opened his eyes in the early morning and heard the system's prompt.
"Ding, temporary novice sign-in function activated. Today's sign-in reward:Upgradeable Footwork: Treading Thunder Flash.
Treading Thunder Flash can be upgraded using evolution points.
Skill Description: Lightning is a powerful discharge phenomenon that occurs in the atmosphere. The most common linear lightning is seen during thunderstorms, typically occurring between clouds, between clouds and the ground or prominent ground objects, and within different parts of a cloud. Similarly, the host can use their own lightning power to condense it into a lightning generator. When the host approaches a target, the target object will acquire an opposite electric charge. Opposite charges attract, forming a lightning channel connecting the host and the target. When the host uses their condensed lightning power to quickly traverse the lightning channel formed by the charges to reach the target, they can detonate the lightning power, causing damage to the target. They can also use the formed charges to lay down new lightning channels for rapid movement.
The speed, distance, and damage to the target are directly proportional to the lightning power output by the host."
Lin Zhan looked at the new footwork he had signed in and exclaimed, "Good luck, this is a very practical skill that combines rapid movement and energy damage."
As Lin Zhan got up, the other three also opened their eyes.
After tidying up their living quarters, Jiang Zheng said to the three of them, "Let's go, brothers. It's Old Ban's class this morning."
After breakfast, they went to Class 3, Grade 9, the elite class of the First Intermediate Martial Arts Academy. Every student in the class was a descendant of human heroes, and at least one platinum-level expert had appeared in their families. Each of these children possessed excellent talent and physique. Because their parents or relatives had died on the battlefield against the myriad races, their hatred for the myriad races was irreconcilable. The meticulous cultivation of these children would make them cornerstones of the human race when they grew up.
"Good morning, everyone. Beautiful ladies, it feels like three autumns have passed since we last met. Did you miss me?" He Dazhuang said with a bun in his mouth, his gold chain and wristwatch exuding a flamboyant aura.
With a flash of lightning, the flamboyant Zhuang Ge was kicked flying by a heroic and spirited young girl.
"Not bad, He Dazhuang. You've gotten bolder in the two days I haven't seen you. How dare you flirt in front of Big Sister?" a radiant figure looked down at He Dazhuang, who was lying on the ground.
"Big Sister, how would I dare to flirt with you? I was just greeting my classmates," He Dazhuang said, looking at a petite and shy girl next to Zhang Lingxiu. "If I were to flirt, I'd flirt with Anya, not with you, Big Sister Lingxiu."
"Oh! You dare to have ideas about Anya? You still need to be taught a lesson," Zhang Lingxiu said and kicked He Dazhuang a few more times.
"Old Lin, help your brother out. Just take this vixen for yourself," He Dazhuang pleaded with Lin Zhan.
"Serves you right. Your mouth deserves to be taught a lesson." After scolding He Dazhuang, Lin Zhan turned to Zhang Lingxiu and said, "Sister Lingxiu, spare He Dazhuang for now. Class is about to start, and Old Ban should be here soon."
"This time I'm giving our Zhan Zhan some face. If you dare to tease Anya again, I'll beat you up," Zhang Lingxiu said, then pulled Anya back to their seats.
Zhang Lingxiu was the youngest daughter of Zhang Zhen, one of the top ten lords of China and a diamond-peak general under Lin Zhan's grandfather. Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe were very close, calling each other brothers. Lin Grandpa was also half of Zhang Zhen's master. Once, Lin Grandpa joked, "Zhang Zhen, if you have a daughter, she'll be my granddaughter-in-law." After Lin Grandpa died in battle, Zhang Zhen broke through to become a lord and slaughtered the descendants of the Bone Demon King's bloodline, avenging Lin Grandpa. He also became China's youngest lord.
"What's all the commotion? Everyone, get back to your seats," a stern voice came from the doorway.
Hearing the voice, everyone saw their homeroom teacher, He Feng, standing at the door, and they all obediently returned to their seats.
He Feng walked to the podium and looked at the students below, saying, "There's a month left until the advancement examination. This year's standard for promotion to Senior Martial Arts Academy is Bronze intermediate. Nine students in our class meet the standard: Zhang Lingxiu, Anya, Bai Qing, Yang Tingting, Leng Shan, Zhang Cong, He Dazhuang, Jiang Zheng, and Xiao Hanyi. All the above nine students, please be prepared to report to the Investigation Brigade of the Martial Arts Bureau in three days for ten days of practical combat."
"Report," Lin Zhan raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I also request to participate in the advancement examination."
He Feng... "Lin Zhan, you only just advanced to Bronze a few days ago. What are you doing here?"
"Teacher, I can advance to Bronze intermediate in at most 3 days. I'll prepare early and sign up in advance."
He Feng was a bit stunned. Could this be done in advance? In all these years, he had never even heard of such a thing.
"Old Lin is getting more and more impressive. Has he learned fortune-telling again?" He Dazhuang whispered to Jiang Zheng.
"Teacher, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dean Li," Lin Zhan assured him.
"I'll go to the dean to apply after class. Lin Zhan, don't fool me. Otherwise, I'll become a laughingstock of the entire academy with no explanation," He Feng agreed.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Next, let's talk about the academy's latest mission. Recently, traitors from the Myriad Races Church have been extremely rampant. According to the latest news from the Martial Arts Bureau, the Myriad Races Church will soon organize attacks on outstanding students from various intermediate and senior martial arts academies, hunting down isolated young martial artists to create social panic.
Based on the deductions of the Martial Arts Bureau and the academy's high command, the main objective of the Myriad Races Church is to create social panic while simultaneously launching surprise attacks on the spatial rifts and forbidden areas guarded by various academies, thus assisting the myriad races in invading our human homeland. Sudan Novel Network.
The mission for each academy is as follows: Members of Senior Martial Arts Academy and martial artists who meet the standard for promotion to Senior Martial Arts Academy and are above Bronze intermediate will temporarily join the Martial Arts Bureau's Investigation Brigade to hunt down members of the Myriad Races Church for ten days.
Students from other academies will form patrol teams to guard the academy. All academy teachers and students above Bronze level will have their vacations canceled, and everyone will prepare for battle."
The Myriad Races Church preaches that humanity is sinful and needs to be saved by a true god, and that the myriad races are humanity's only saviors. They are established by the infiltration of the myriad races into the human world. Some scums of society, driven by profit and temptation, join them. The myriad races use these cultists to obtain intelligence from the human world and carry out tasks such as assassination, riots, and terrorist attacks.
In addition, some people in society believe that human society should cooperate with the societies of the myriad races to adapt to the new era, so that humanity can have a future and hope. Many high-ranking members of the Myriad Races Church are scoundrels in humanity who hold such ideas.
