Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Going Home

Translator: 549690339

Northern Base City is a rectangular city stretching for a hundred miles in length and eighty miles in width. The North District occupies a fifth of the city’s area but accommodates half of the city’s population, serving as a typical civilian area.

In the valuable land of Base City, rich people live in single-story houses, while the poor live in high-rise buildings. In order to make full use of space, the residential buildings in the civilian area are all squared and several dozen stories high, densely built, with each family living in a cramped space.

Despite the crowded conditions, people would not leave Base City, because outside the tall city walls lies a world where monsters roam, a forbidden zone for ordinary people. Only powerful martial artists can survive out there.

Lin Zhen walks through an alley, and with his past memories, quickly finds his family’s apartment building in the residential complex.

“This building has thirty floors. In order to save electricity and space, there are no elevators. The higher the floor, the poorer the inhabitants. My family lives on the twenty-eighth floor.”

“At this time, my father Lin Liye should be home. He usually sells breakfast downstairs in the apartment complex, and now he might be at home preparing soy milk and baozi for tomorrow.”

“My mother should be doing needlework. She doesn’t have a job and relies on her needlework products to earn a little living. Their income is low and pitiful, and they spend it all to support me to go to school.”

Lin Zhen enters the dim corridor and takes one step at a time towards the twenty-eighth floor.

“In my last life, to make my parents move out of the poverty-stricken district, I studied martial arts desperately. After graduating from high school and achieving the required score, Ouyang Yu obstructed my progress. Only after joining Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall and enduring half a year of delays, did I become an official student. A year later, my parents finally left this residential area. By then, they had already developed health problems due to overwork and never fully recovered.”

“This time, I will make sure the outcome would be different….”

As Lin Zhen contemplates, he has already arrived at their doorstep.

Haven’t seen his parents for a long time, Lin Zhen’s mood is somewhat agitated.

As for the knowledge of Mutated Beasts, Lin Zhen’s understanding is clearer than anyone else’s.

The main thing is the physical data. There are strict standards for recruiting students in the martial arts schools after high school graduation.

The three physical examination items include punch strength, punch speed, and nerve reflex. The qualified standard for punch strength is 200 kg. This is the admission line, and anyone below this standard is considered unqualified.

For punch speed, at least five punches per second at no less than 80% of the maximum strength are required to be considered adequate.

In other words, if your punch strength is 200 kg, you need to deliver five punches per second at no less than 160 kg to be considered passing. These are considered effective punches.

As for nerve reflex, it is the ability to dodge attacks in 0.1 seconds, which is the qualified line. Anyone who fails to react within this time is considered unqualified.

When recruiting disciples, martial arts schools use these three criteria as basic requirements. Once they meet the standards, the students will generally be accepted into the martial arts schools. Academic performance is only supplementary, although of course, too little knowledge is not ideal.

If a student’s performance in one item is below the standard but excels in another item, they may still be recruited.

Lin Zhen remembers that his left hand punch is currenadministratorly 206 kg, his right-hand punch is 232 kg, punch speed is 5.3/s, and nerve reflex is 0.096. All are just barely passing.

This is the reason why, although he has met the standards, his progress was not highly valued by the martial arts schools and allowed Ouyang Yu to successfully obstruct him. If he had been talented enough, Ouyang Yu’s scheming would have been of no use.

“To change my fate, I must make a difference during this graduation examination and not let Ouyang Yu succeed.”

“I have three days. In three days, I must improve my strength, at least to the point where the martial arts schools no longer pay attention to Ouyang Yu. This is the most basic requirement.”

“As for Ouyang Yu, I’ll keep you company this time.”

“And also… An Ning.
