Chapter 2: The Genius of the Bone Pattern Academy

There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. The mutual dissatisfaction between the two has long ceased to be mere rumors at Nanshan Academy. Now that they have encountered each other, there is certainly a good show to watch.

Suddenly, two loud banging sounds were heard, and the force tester lit up

In the Huazone region, Nanshan Institute of Bone Pattern ranks ninth in overall strength and thirteenth in the field of bone pattern research

A student standing nearby, with a flushed face due to excitement, stammered, "Two... instructors, please... prepare!"

Wang Zhenglian recounted this segment of history without even a pause

There are only fifteen minutes between classes, and Gao Wei did not dawdle. He pointed to the training room and said, "What do you want to compete in?"

The students below are quite eager to respond

Indeed, they are among the top ten experts, a level we cannot compare to

One question after another was thrown out by Ma Chunyi. Since they were merely matters of common knowledge, answering them was not difficult.

Still, Senior Gao Wei possesses great composure, truly deserving of being among the top ten experts

Wang Zheng stood up, a faint smile gracing his thin face, giving off a sunny and handsome impression. He did not possess a robust physique, standing at 1.75 meters, which made him not particularly noticeable in the class

This segment of history is known to all inhabitants of Earth. After all, it has been made into a documentary in current curricula, presenting this disaster that swept across humanity to future generations, and this documentary is also a compulsory course for every student

Among the students in the class, many come from affluent families, and their desire for bone patterns is not particularly strong, as they can easily spend a significant amount of money to purchase a piece from the market

To become a strong individual, both methods are indispensable

... ...

"Not bad, all of your answers are correct, which indicates that the students have put in effort during their learning process," said Ma Chunyi, as if performing a magic trick, taking a small bottle from his pocket and placing it on the podium.

Hmph

"It is still uncertain who will lose; it is merely your ranking. This time, I am quite certain of my victory." Lin Jinnan's face still bore an air of arrogance, exuding great confidence. He had just made further progress; otherwise, he would not have challenged Gao Wei.

Not bad, the second question is, how is the level of bone patterns classified

These are merely the most basic pieces of knowledge, but...

When all the students saw what was contained in the small bottle, they all exclaimed with excitement

The other classmates all watched Sun Qiang's disheveled appearance, suppressing their laughter.

The mysterious symbol light hole appeared, shining alongside the sun and moon, transforming into a massive mouth that inhaled and exhaled countless blue light points, continuously releasing these blue light points to every corner of the solar system

Lin Jinnan and Gao Wei seemed oblivious, as they launched themselves with all their might towards the power tester in the moment after the bone transformation

Sun Qiang's face was already dripping with sweat as he looked at Wang Zheng for help

It is bone texture

The students who had just occupied this place have long since made way, each standing aside with an expression of excitement on their faces

Those who possess the necessary conditions can take the first approach to gain an advantage and establish their own strengths

Impressive

Many students, in their astonishment, became excited as if they had taken a stimulant. Being able to witness the competition between two geniuses from Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy is undoubtedly something to boast about

Lin Jinnan approached with a cold smile on his face

Lin Jinnan is improving, and I am also improving myself

It seems that in Wang Zheng's account, the horrific scene that unfolded when the sigil light hole appeared naturally emerged in their minds. It can be said that the entire landscape changed color, as if overnight, the Earth had transformed into a realm ruled by ferocious beasts

Not correct, 25.17%?

In every society in the world, there exists a significant disparity between the rich and the poor. In the class, there are also many students from families with average conditions, and quite a few, like Wang Zheng, can only barely sustain their studies here. Under such circumstances, Bone Patterns are indeed a luxury for them

During the rare break between classes, the students seized the opportunity to relax.

A century of technological integration has led to rapid advancements in human technological capabilities, yet there has been no progress in understanding this extraterrestrial object.

The students below all trembled, each feeling a sense of unease.

Impressive, too fast

The highest grade bone pattern was obtained twenty years ago by King Luo, who killed the Black-scaled Lizard King in the Dark Swamp of the African region, and it has been identified as level nine

Ding ding ding ... ...

Ready, set, go

Upon meeting, the two individuals immediately let out a cold snort

Wang Zheng smiled faintly and said, "In 2018, the mutated beasts attacked the No. 1801 stationed base. With the deployment of three missile brigades, we successfully thwarted this attack by the beasts. During the subsequent dissection of one of the most ferocious beasts, a special bone was discovered in its foot, adorned with mysterious, lustrous patterns."

Senior Lin Jinnan, ranked ninth

Fortunately, Professor Ma drew Wang Zheng, this guy with an extraordinary memory

"Wang Zheng, please answer the question about the origin of bone patterns." Professor Ma Chunyi directly called out.

"Lin Jinnan, we have agreed to meet here today; if you lose, do not go back crying." The burly Gao Wei, with a cold smile on his face, was the first to speak

873 kilograms, hahaha, Senior Gao Wei excels even more.

Many students with weak willpower have subconsciously made up their minds to remain ordinary people, as it is at least safe

Nanshan College Class 3-3

Sitting down, Sun Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, knowing that this time he had passed the test.

Oh my, Senior Gao Wei is as refreshing as ever, and he must have made progress in bone pattern cultivation as well

Strength is the most direct representation of power. The strength or weakness of that power signifies the level of lethality you possess when battling ferocious beasts

Wang Zheng, one of the top ten genius figures

This time there is a good show to watch, there have been constant rumors that neither side can do anything to the other, yet the rankings are Senior Gao Wei in eighth place and Senior Lin Jinnan in ninth place

Ma Chunyi stared at Sun Qiang for a few moments, then glanced at Wang Zheng before saying: "I suppose you got it right."

What are the differences?" Ma Chunyi continued to ask.

25.7%

On the left chest of the five individuals' uniforms, the words 'Nanshan College' are inscribed

The entire process gives the impression of being completed in an instant

The results are out, everyone take a look

Gao Wei, a master ranked eighth at Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy

Scales appeared rapidly, one after another, then covered their fists, extending upwards towards their arms. However, this extension was limited, stopping just slightly above their wrists without further coverage. Yet, their fists at this moment resembled the limbs of a monster, possessing sharp claws, as if adorned with black metal gloves

Roar

During the break, in the training room

In the span of two or three breaths, the patterns emerged clearly, shimmering with a faint halo, enveloping their arms

Hmph

In the year 2018, the Symbolic Light Hole appeared in the solar system without warning, radiating Symbolic Light Particles throughout the entire solar system. Affected by the Symbolic Light Particles, the entire Earth underwent mutations; a mysterious symbol imbued with incredible power enabled animals to mutate, leading to the evolution of various types and sizes of ferocious beasts

Before the arrival of the new era, a striking force of 280 kilograms can already be considered the strength of the world boxing champion

As soon as this robustly built young man appeared, the other students, who had just been restless, immediately quieted down

A warrior who masters bone patterns can not only petrify themselves, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities, but also gain even greater power from the bone patterns.

Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, located to the south of Nantong City, is surrounded by the vast mountain range at its back gate, while its front gate stands in the midst of the bustling metropolis, with endless skyscrapers rising like towering mountains.

Wang Zheng nodded and took a seat

either 25.37%

An ordinary person possesses a strength of approximately 80 kilograms, but now it is more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

Wang Zheng is usually calm, but upon encountering this piece of bone pattern, he still stood up with a slight excitement

Human civilization has nearly vanished in just a few short years

This ... ...

It must be said that Senior Gao Wei's broad-mindedness is unmatched in the school

Gao Wei did not hesitate at all and directly agreed.

The mastery of power is directly related to the bone patterns

The former easily masters the power of bone patterns, but the hunting of ferocious beasts and the probability of yielding results are not easy. It is dangerous and short-lived. The latter does not require battling ferocious beasts, is safe, but requires spending more time on learning bone patterns and cultivation. Sun Qiang's response was quite composed

The first person to master the power of bone patterns is Wang Li, and his greatest achievement is standing in third place on the Heavenly Rankings

Merely by ossifying a fist, one possesses nearly one ton of striking force; I truly wonder what would happen if the entire body were to ossify

On the other side, a similarly well-built young man also walked in. He had a handsome face and stood at a height of 1.8 meters, which is considered standard in the south. Following him were three students with an air of arrogance, their uniforms also bearing the name of Nanshan Academy.

Inside this small bottle, there is a piece of white bone, approximately the size of a fingernail, which occasionally emits a faint glow. Each time the glow flickers, a delicate pattern emerges, vividly alive. It resembles a pristine white bone with an additional crack appearing on its surface.

Bone patterns are not unfamiliar to Wang Zheng, yet they are not something he is well acquainted with

25.57%." After receiving the prompt, Sun Qiang finally spoke with unwavering certainty. Internally, he was already complaining, wondering who had originally compiled such precise figures. Who spends their days memorizing these decimal numbers?

Ah, Senior Gao Wei is impressive

Cities have been destroyed, becoming boundless ruins, reduced to a paradise for ferocious beasts

Noon

It has been exactly 120 years since the emergence of the patterned light hole, during which the scientific power of the entire Earth has been concentrated, yet the cause of the patterned light hole's appearance remains elusive. Numerous space explorations have only managed to approach within 100,000 kilometers of the patterned light hole, with no further progress possible.

Ma Chunyi is extremely satisfied with the performance of the students

At the vast Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, the bell signaling the end of class rang, and the entire academy became a hubbub of activity.

The students beside exclaimed one after another

This is Senior Gao Wei.

Seeing Wang Zheng stand up, all the classmates in the class breathed a sigh of relief

Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, through strict academic governance, has produced a total of thirty-seven masters with ranks exceeding 9 dan over its sixty years of establishment. The number of masters below 8 dan exceeds one hundred. In the Huazone region, the talent output of this academy is by no means inferior to that of some century-old prestigious schools.

There are many types of bone patterns available in the market, ranging from high to low grades, but even the smallest and lowest grade piece of bone pattern is unattainable for Wang Zheng

One year later, in 2019, there were breakthrough advancements in the study of bone patterns, enabling humanity to successfully master and utilize this mysterious power of bone patterns. 2019 is also known as the Year of Origin. It was precisely through the mastery of the power of bone patterns that the continuously emerging strong individuals successfully halted the momentum of the ferocious beasts, defending the last remaining space for human survival

Almost at the moment when the student shouted, the two moved, suddenly raising their hands and sweeping through the air. In an instant, their faces flushed, and the right hands they extended revealed a faint glowing pattern, appearing on both the palms and the backs of their hands.

In front of the strength tester

Following the lead student were four others, all of whom were robust in stature. One of them bore a scar on his face, evoking a sense of fierceness in those who beheld them

I must possess a piece of bone pattern that belongs to me. Wang Zheng's eyes were filled with a resolute expression

Indeed, since the emergence of the ferocious beasts, they have continuously suppressed the living space of humanity. Over the course of a hundred years, humans have been forced to live passively in a few specific areas, defensively protecting themselves. No matter how many strong individuals arise, they are far less intimidating than the kings among the ferocious beasts

Wang Zheng, born into an ordinary working-class family, has parents who are merely regular employees. The fact that they have managed to support his education up to this point is already a significant effort. The bone pattern, being an expensive item, is something that a salaryman could hardly even contemplate.

The entire class is quiet

Everyone has watched this documentary more than once, and it is also mentioned in the textbooks

The leading student, standing at a height of 1.85 meters, with a crew cut, possesses a robust and muscular physique, with well-defined pectoral muscles that exude a sense of explosive strength. His eyes, sharp and hawk-like, are so piercing that one dares not look directly at them

According to the maximum force that can be exerted after ossification, it is divided into ten levels, ranging from the initial level one to the strongest level ten

The sky is a deep blue, stretching for miles without a cloud, as if one were submerged at the bottom of a vast ocean, looking up at the surface of the sea. There is no sense of oppression; instead, it evokes a feeling of joy.

Quickly look at Senior Gao Wei's

The classmates in the class were all whispering, but immediately fell silent under the stern gaze of Ma Chunyi

Once the competition content was announced, the numerous participants present did not exhibit much surprise

Gao Wei's single statement immediately won the admiration of the other trainees in the training room, and everyone could not help but admire his composure; this is the demeanor that a master should possess

Over the past one hundred and twenty years, although humanity has not been able to reclaim the lost territories overrun by ferocious beasts, it has also prevented these beasts from advancing further, resulting in the ten human survival zones we see today

Sun Qiang, please explain how to obtain bone patterns. Ma Chunyi pointed to a student not far from Wang Zheng.

All levels of students who were watching could not help but exclaim in astonishment

The proposal for a strength competition indicates that Lin Jinnan has certainly made a breakthrough in the cultivation of bone patterns

Good

Ma Chunyi inquired: "Indeed, may I ask, what is the probability of bone patterns arising from the bodies of ferocious beasts?"

Very well, the third question is, when and by whom was the highest grade bone pattern obtained to date

The force tester is an instrument that can quickly measure the impact force after being struck. It only requires the force to be applied to the surface of the tester, and it will display the strength of the force.

Without opening the textbook, Ma Chunyi looked around and said: "Now I will pose a question to see if everyone has a solid understanding of the history of bone patterns. The first question is, who was the first person to master the power of bone patterns, and what achievements did they accomplish?"

Lin Jinnan furrowed his brows and pointed at the strength testing device in the training room, "Shall we compete in strength?"

Oh my, Senior Lin Jinnan actually has a strength of 870 kilograms

Indeed, if it were us, we would certainly suffer greatly under Professor Ma's teachings

Mastering bone patterns can be achieved in two ways. The first method is to directly absorb the bone patterns, thereby allowing oneself to harness this power. The second method involves understanding and comprehending the bone patterns through cultivation, thus enabling the application of bone patterns to achieve the goal of bone transformation.

Ma Chunyi stood on the podium, his expression serious: "Do not think that just because you have been admitted to Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, you can rest easy. Being able to enter Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy does not mean you are superior. In the world of martial artists, the strong are like clouds. Even if you manage to graduate, you will merely be one of the most ordinary among billions of martial artists. Not to mention the terrifying beasts that have dominated the regions outside for over a hundred years."

Five trainees walked in, leaving the many trainees who had arrived early to practice in a state of surprise

Wang Zheng had no choice but to extend five fingers, revealing them discreetly.

What is the level of the strongest beast discovered to date

However, there are only a few individuals in the entire class who possess the ability to record with such clarity as Wang Zheng and to be precise down to the year

Ma Chunyi did not make the students wait any longer and handed the bottle containing the bone pattern to a student in the first group, first row: "Each student has one minute. After you finish, pass it to the next student. Everyone, please observe carefully; such an opportunity is rare."

Sun Qiang stood up with a苦脸, but quickly replied: "There are two ways to obtain bone patterns. The first and most direct method is through hunting ferocious beasts, from which there is a chance to acquire them. The second method is to master the power of bone patterns through cultivation"

In a moment of excitement, Wang Zheng clenched his fist

Even the dean has acknowledged him as a genius; Senior Gao Wei truly lives up to the title of genius

Both Lin Jinnan and Gao Wei wore serious expressions on their faces, nodding simultaneously

A probability of 25.57% means that out of ten ferocious beasts, two will exhibit bone patterns

... ...

Ma Chunyi's face was filled with smiles: "Well said, please take a seat."

Sun Qiang's expression suddenly conveyed a sense of collapse; he knew that the notoriously shrewd Old Ma would never ask such an easy question. How could he possibly remember so many precise and minute figures?

Gao Wei's calm expression remained unchanged, nor did he fall behind; he also stood in front of the power tester.

To date, the strongest level of ferocious beasts discovered is above level 10, which can be said to surpass level 10, making it the most powerful ferocious beast on Earth

The powerful explosive force made them involuntarily let out a roar

Ma Chunyi nodded slightly: "Continue"
