Chapter 10: Warrior Training Hall

Wang Zheng has never been inside; he has only seen it in some promotional videos.

Whoosh

Wang Zheng was sweating profusely, and after swinging his arms thousands of times, he could hardly lift them. Yet, Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and persevered, as he wanted to see where his limits lay

With a tremor of the hand, the scales of the palm, after ossification, recede once more

In the next moment, Wang Zheng's fist struck again, sending the sandbag flying back once more. The rebound force made Wang Zheng's hand feel somewhat numb, but he seemed oblivious, continuing to punch one after another.

Mom and Dad, I have obtained the qualification to participate in the training competition today

The sandbag was struck, soaring high into the air, and then swung back towards Wang Zheng.

The only two tasks that Wang Zheng can accomplish are these.

Those who can afford to open private training facilities possess immense power and are prominent figures in Nanshan City

Since it is free, it is naturally a paradise for the poor

The training hall is bustling with people, with almost every spot occupied by individuals engaged in training. Some popular areas even have queues forming. The majority of those who come here are from less affluent backgrounds, predominantly young individuals, as the primary purpose of the training hall is to benefit those who have not yet become martial artists. Once one becomes a martial artist, the training equipment here has limited utility; what is truly needed is a deep understanding and refinement of one's bone patterns.

Strawberries in the new century, due to the significant compression of human living space, land is almost exclusively used for growing food. In this context, the production of strawberries is extremely scarce, and only the wealthy can enjoy them. For ordinary people, not to mention eating them, even catching a glimpse is difficult

On the guardrail, the area gripped by Wang Zheng shows a slight distortion in the metal, clearly indicating the immense strength of this force and the hardness of the scales.

Wang Zheng now wants to see what it is like to increase his strength by 1 point

Cultivation actually begins with the small details of everyday life

10 meters per second is not yet Wang Zheng's limit; with a little more effort, Wang Zheng is confident that he can break through 12 meters per second

Ultimately, this number is fixed here, having not increased by even a fraction for half an hour

The Nanshan Warrior Training Center covers a vast area and consists of several large sports pavilions, which are filled with numerous training equipment. Faced with the threat of ferocious beasts, humanity understands that enhancing their own capabilities is the way to self-preservation, and thus has invested significantly in this hardware facility

twice

As he appeared above the railing, Wang Zheng's hand instantly stiffened, and then he forcefully pushed against the railing. With a thrust of over 600 kilograms, Wang Zheng was propelled high into the air, performing several somersaults before landing more than ten meters away, having already leaped across the street.

As a public martial arts training center, there is no need to expect personal trainers, to enjoy VIP services, or to have access to luxurious facilities and comprehensive training equipment. Here, it merely provides a free space for some impoverished martial artists to conduct basic training.

A single expenditure at a high-end private training facility may well exceed the combined annual salaries of one's parents, representing an absolute luxury

Throughout the afternoon, the pattern strength increased by more than fifty.

Once again sitting in the lounge chair, Wang Zheng felt a sense of impending collapse. Previously, he thought that tens of thousands of times was not a big deal, but now that he was actually doing it, he realized that this number was indeed substantial and could not be completed in just a day or two

After school in the afternoon

The world sprint champions before the new century could achieve a time of 9.58 seconds in the 100 meters, with a speed of just over 10 meters per second. Now, Wang Zheng can easily surpass the previous world record for the 100 meters. It must be said that the quality of people in the new century has undergone a qualitative leap.

... ...

Wang Zheng knew that they were all afraid of getting too close to him, fearing that Ma Shaohua would come to hate them as well

As the numbers on the bone pattern guidance assistant continued to decrease, sweat appeared on Wang Zheng's face, and moments later, his training suit was drenched again

Wang Zheng's qualification for this training competition is not solely for the purpose of standing out, but also to gain practical experience and grow more rapidly

Ma Shaohua and Luo Ting, along with their group, left as if nothing had happened, seemingly unconcerned about losing their qualification to compete

The private training facility is unlike any other; stepping inside is akin to experiencing an emperor-level indulgence

"Son, is it really true?" Wang Ma immediately became agitated

Once

Wang Zheng, who shot out like an arrow, reached a speed of approximately 10 meters per second

Regarding the matter of offending Ma Shaohua, Wang Zheng did not take it to heart at all. After school, he simply shouldered his backpack and left the school directly. In the past, Sun Qiang would follow him, but this time he clearly left the school ahead of him. Among the other students, only one or two greeted Wang Zheng.

Standing in front of the Nanshan Warrior Training Hall, Wang Zheng merely took a glance before walking inside

Wang Zheng, who was running wildly on the street, did not attract the curiosity of anyone.

... ...

I have to go back, otherwise my parents will worry

Wealthy individuals would not come here, as this place is dirty and chaotic; in their eyes, it is a place where the lowly reside

In the guidance provided by the Bone Pattern Assistant, it is stated that only 16,999 punches are required to increase strength by 1 point

Upon exiting the school gate, Wang Zheng began to run wildly while carrying his backpack

Call!

Wang Zheng nodded vigorously; at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of pride

The training hall was bustling with people, and the dimming light did not diminish their numbers

Sitting on the resting chair, Wang Zheng took a moment to catch his breath before standing up again and began doing squats in front of the chair, one after another. At a pace of 1, he regarded this as equally invaluable. Although there were difficulties with the strawberries, strength and squats only required effort, making them quite easy to accomplish.

Wang Zheng once again opened the Bone Pattern Guidance Assistant. The "Consumption" category remained unchanged, while the "Training" option was still grayed out and inaccessible. However, there were changes in the three small guides within the "Guidance" section. He still needed to complete 10,000 more punches and 10,000 more squats. As for the strawberry item, Wang Zheng found himself powerless.

Ai Hua Community

Wang Zheng, however, was unconcerned. He found an empty storage box and stored his backpack. After that, he changed into a set of training clothes that he had no idea how many years they had been washed, and then walked over to the sandbag.

The martial arts training hall has a shower room. After a moment, Wang Zheng changed into a set of dry clothes and walked out with a refreshed and invigorated expression

As for physical constitution, Wang Zheng can only wait to see if there will be opportunities in the future

Faced with a tall guardrail ahead, Wang Zheng directly utilized his speed to leap over it

Practical combat is also one of the most important paths for the growth of a martial artist

At this moment, Wang Zheng's legs and arms feel as if they do not belong to him, and he is on the verge of falling apart

Wang Zheng proudly spoke to his parents, saying that after making them worry for so long, it was time to let them worry a little less about him. Being able to participate in the training competition does not signify much, but it does indicate that Wang Zheng possesses the bone pattern and is among the top five in his class

Wang Zheng still remembers that in the Bone Pattern Guidance Assistant, there are three options: the first is boxing, which increases strength by 1 point; the second is squats, which increase speed by 1 point; and the third is eating strawberries, which enhances physical fitness. In other words, running also contributes to self-improvement.

The task is also lit up. Wang Zheng clicked on it. The previous task of entering the training match has been completed, but no new task has been generated. He still does not fully understand how its mechanism works.

The improvement in physical fitness is evident, as many young men are running on the streets and even performing some difficult maneuvers

The expression of surprise also appeared on Wang's father's face as he said, "Son, have you mastered the first bone pattern?"

In the new century, many things have changed; private training facilities are actually quite similar to the upscale private clubs and high-end nightclubs of the past. They not only boast countless top-of-the-line training equipment but also feature stunningly beautiful attendants who provide everything that men desire.

... ...

Speaking of which, this guide is quite frustrating. Choosing anything would have been better, but selecting strawberry clearly indicates a reluctance to complete this guide too quickly

Mom and Dad, you can rest assured that I will not let you down

As a child, is it not the greatest responsibility to ensure that one's parents are happy and live well

Upon hearing this news, it finally resolved the knot in their hearts

Wang Zheng continued to do it time and again until his legs became sore and he could no longer stand up from squatting

What is increased is strength, not the power of patterns, and there is certainly a difference between the two. Exactly how it will manifest is what Wang Zheng wishes to know

Wang Zheng did not stop and continued to run at full speed

There are still 10,000 punches remaining.

Hoo, 15000, 14999, 14998...

Boom

With Wang Zheng's accurate answer, both Wang and his father could finally breathe a sigh of relief, their anxious hearts could be set at ease, and they felt that their many years of waiting had finally borne fruit

It may seem like merely throwing punches, and 17,000 punches is not a lot, but when you truly delve into it, you will realize that completing 17,000 punches in a short period is extremely challenging

The pattern strength is 2401 points, not bad, it has increased quite a bit

After taking his backpack out of the storage locker, Wang Zheng left the martial arts training hall and jogged home

Wang's father and mother embraced each other excitedly, tears glistening in their eyes. After years of waiting, they finally received the results they had hoped for. Their son did not bring shame upon them; not only did he master the art of bone carving, but he also ranked among the top five in his class

For them, Wang Zheng has always been a source of concern. Seeing their son possess such talent in bone pattern cultivation yet fail to cultivate any bone patterns, they are more anxious than Wang Zheng himself, fearing that he might become despondent and unable to find a way forward.

Wang Zheng revealed a smile, as it seemed that among the nearly ten thousand faculty and students at Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, at least four hundred people had already heard his name, which is a good start

Returning to the room, Wang Zheng swung his fist violently in the air.

Ma Shaohua's father runs a high-end private training facility, earning a fortune daily, and has befriended countless powerful figures, ultimately becoming a municipal councilor in Nanshan City

After throwing punches 7,000 times, Wang Zheng's arms felt as if they were being sliced, forcing him to stop and rest. His entire training outfit was already soaked, and Wang Zheng was also panting heavily

Wang Zheng's strength, even without ossification, remains substantial
