Chapter 2: Growth

There are nine grades of spiritual tools, and the flying disc-equipped motorcycle at home is a first-grade superior spiritual tool. It can hover up to 3 meters and reach a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour. Under normal circumstances, it hovers at a height of 0.5 meters, with an average speed controlled at around 60 kilometers per hour. The crystal energy consumption of this vehicle is essentially zero. This is one of the advantages of crystals; before they are completely depleted, they can autonomously absorb the energy of heaven and earth to recharge. The higher the grade of the crystal, the faster the recovery speed, and naturally, the higher its value. Most importantly, this energy source is non-polluting

Yang Tong's journey of learning and growth thus began. In the first three years of primary education, the cultural curriculum focuses on teaching characters and basic mathematics. There is no need to learn sentence construction or to write any articles; it suffices to recognize characters, understand reading, and perform practical calculations. The martial arts curriculum is entirely about laying the foundation and strengthening the physique.

A female teacher, approximately forty years old, stepped onto the podium

Holding her student ID, Yang Tong walked through the school gate, eager to truly understand the unique form of civilization in this world, starting from here

Yang Tong is very interested in this special technology, and naturally looks forward to going to school.

Hello everyone, my name is Xue Ying, and you can call me Teacher Xue. Starting today, I will be the homeroom teacher for this class, responsible for teaching you about the various types of beasts. In the first grade, the curriculum includes martial arts theory, martial arts practice, the history of martial artists, cultural studies, geography, and an understanding of beast types. Generally, we practice martial arts in the morning and study literature in the afternoon. Teacher Xue introduced, "Now, let us invite the martial arts teacher to begin the class."

Through self-study, Yang Tong also learned about hetushu.com. After the awakening of humanity, above the apprentice martial artists are the Earth-level Martial Spirit Masters and Earth-level Mind Masters. The former possesses significantly stronger close-combat abilities than apprentice martial artists and can draw upon a certain amount of Earth power for their own use. The latter possesses mental power and can remotely control specially designed spiritual weapons for Mind Masters to attack. Most importantly, Mind Masters not only have combat functions, but the development foundation of human spiritual technology is also based on Mind Masters.

The human civilization on the Fengxuan Continent is known as the Spirit Tool Civilization. According to Yang Tong's understanding, it is a unique form of civilization that is half cultivation and half mechanical. The powerful tools developed by humans, powered by various crystals found in nature, are referred to as Spirit Tools. They come in a wide variety, ranging from everyday household items to formidable weapons of war.

On September 1, 7621343 of the mainland calendar, this was the day Yang Tong enrolled in school. Luoyu County is not considered a large county, but it covers an area of approximately one thousand square miles. The population within the county city reaches three million, divided into three districts: outer, middle, and inner. The inner city is the area where the population is concentrated, with eighty percent of the three million residents living there. The inner city is further divided into eight districts based on orientation, with each district having its own school. The middle city is home to some impoverished residents, while the outer city consists of farmland for growing crops.

Around 8:30, Yang Tong took Yang Tong out. Outside the door was a vehicle that resembled a motorcycle, but unlike motorcycles on Earth, this vehicle had no wheels, only two disc-like gas pads. It was heavily armored all over, and there were six weapon racks placed on both sides of the vehicle.

This world is far more dangerous than Yang Tong had imagined, with various ferocious beasts distributed in the wild, all of which pose external threats to human survival. However, these beasts also serve as raw materials for the advancement of human civilization. In the county town, there are many martial artists who make a living by hunting these beasts. Generally, a family of three only needs to hunt thirty low-level primary beasts each month to exchange for sufficient living supplies. The weakest low-level primary beast is equivalent to a human trainee at level 5, while low-level intermediate beasts correspond to human trainees at level 7, and low-level advanced beasts are equivalent to human trainees at level 9.

The school is very large, with a total of over 50,000 students enrolled, and naturally, the campus area is quite extensive

Feeling frustrated, he thought, "If I am going to travel through time, at least I should gain some benefits for saving someone, right?" However, in reality, Yang Tong discovered that apart from a bit of knowledge about the I Ching and the plum blossom divination technique, he possessed no scientific knowledge whatsoever, making it impossible for him to unlock any special abilities. Moreover, he was uncertain whether the I Ching, based on the theories of Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, would still be accurate in this new context.

Yang Tong understood that the value of this vehicle was equivalent to that of the house they owned. This vehicle was called: Frisbee Motorcycle. It was a product of the unique technological civilization of the Wind Xuan Continent.

According to Yang Tong's understanding, the Book of Changes itself is a discipline of calculation, theoretically capable of deducing and calculating the evolution of heaven, earth, and the universe. However, this depends on the individual's level of attainment.

If any of you feel a surge of heat flowing within your body, please promptly inform me or your family members, and do not conceal it, as this is a very positive development

Such a vehicle, if on Earth, ordinary citizens would not dare to ride it on the streets. This is hardly a civilian vehicle; it is clearly an armed motorcycle

Yang Tong's family consists of a father who is a trainee Level 9 martial artist. He only needs to hunt three low-level medium beasts each month to live quite comfortably. However, Yang Tong's father goes out for ten days each month, bringing back hundreds of low-level primary beasts and dozens of low-level medium beasts

Immediately thereafter, Zhang Tianming elaborated on numerous theories, which provided Yang Tong with a clearer understanding of this new world

I was called up by my father before dawn, and I first practiced horse stance for half an hour. Since Yang Tong was five years old, my father has required him to practice horse stance every morning to strengthen the foundation.

Yang Tong calculated that the probability of becoming a Mind Master is one in ten million, which means that among a population of ten million, there would only be one Mind Master

The reason for cultivating fields within the county town is that the areas beyond the town are dominated by savage beasts. Without city walls to protect the fields, they would inevitably be destroyed by these beasts. Thus, the Wind Xuan Continent remains a world of high martial arts, where everyone practices martial arts to strengthen themselves

Southeast educational institutions integrate both primary and secondary education. Children begin their studies at the age of six, completing six years of primary education and four years of secondary education, which requires a total of ten years to achieve the level of secondary school education

After Teacher Xue finished speaking, a young man with a somewhat refined demeanor entered the classroom

No wonder, for people to survive, they must at least possess the strength of a Level 5 apprentice at hetushu.com; otherwise, they can only remain within the county, doing manual labor, miscellaneous tasks, or farming.

"Go in, take your student ID, and find your class." The father gently set Yang Tong down and instructed seriously, "Study well, do you understand?"

Alright, since you have just started school today, there is no need to learn anything too complicated. I will briefly introduce the classification of combat professions. During the apprenticeship stage, we humans all practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies, but once we awaken, classifications will emerge. Some individuals, upon awakening, possess both spiritual power and mental power as their innate talents. Those strong in spiritual power are referred to as Martial Spirit Masters, while those strong in mental power are called Mind Masters.

Today is the first day of class, and we will start with some light theoretical understanding. Why do we practice martial arts? Does anyone know? Teacher Zhang spoke eloquently: "For self-defense, for strengthening the body, and more importantly, for awakening! Our human body is actually a vast treasure, but this treasure is locked. Starting from a strong physique, we cultivate our bodies to become even stronger, possessing great strength, agile speed, and a robust body. All of this is to unlock our own treasure, and the first step to unlocking this treasure is what we call awakening!" Starting from a strong physique, we cultivate our bodies to become even stronger, possessing great strength, agile speed, and a robust body. All of this is to unlock our own treasure, and the first step to unlocking this treasure is what we call awakening!

During the three years in school, although Yang Tong performed quite well among the entire grade and consistently ranked at the top in terms of academic results, he himself was not satisfied.

Arriving at my class, Class 5 of the first grade, there are a total of one hundred students in the class

Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Tianming, and you can call me Teacher Zhang. I am a trainee Level 9 martial artist, and I will be teaching you the martial arts curriculum for the next six years

Then, regarding the books, everyone must be wondering, how can one achieve awakening? I tell you, this step is very difficult. If you do not study diligently over these six years, you may never awaken even in old age. Generally, reaching the ninth level of apprenticeship is the easiest time to awaken. Of course, there are some exceptional cases where individuals awaken at the seventh level of apprenticeship, and there are even examples of those who awaken at a very young age. Perhaps among you, there are such geniuses.

Due to adult psychology, Yang Tong finds it difficult to play with the other children around him, appearing somewhat out of place. Aside from studying, he engages in martial arts practice.

Through classroom learning and, most importantly, self-study in the school library, Yang Tong's knowledge has already begun to catch up with that of an average adult

The professions derived from the Mind Master include: Spirit Tool Master, Alchemist, Array Master, and Illusionist. Notably, the first three professions are not combat-oriented; it is precisely these three that have laid the foundation for the flourishing of human civilization. Each profession requires a strong mental power to support it. Of course, the Spirit Tool Master can be further specialized into countless subfields, and the other two professions can be similarly refined. In contrast, the Martial Spirit Master seems to have no other functions beyond combat. This is precisely why the status of Mind Masters in human society is significantly higher than that of Martial Spirit Masters. Unfortunately, the ratio of Awakened to non-Awakened individuals is 10,000 to 1. Among the Awakened, the ratio of Martial Spirit Masters to Mind Masters is 1,000 to 1. No one knows whether one can become a Martial Spirit Master or a Mind Master before awakening. Among the Awakened, the ratio of Martial Spirit Masters to Mind Masters is 1,000 to 1. No one knows whether one can become a Martial Spirit Master or a Mind Master before awakening.

"Hmm, I understand, goodbye, Dad," Yang Tong replied with a slight smile, adorably. Yang Tong understood that entering the school for study was not something every child could achieve, as the tuition fees for this school were quite substantial.
