Chapter 2 Lujiang
June 2130.
100 years ago, the aura broke out, the animal and plant kingdoms have undergone rapid evolution, the demon race appeared, the human world fell, and then the Morning Star returned, and the human race established a coalition government, and the whole people were armed.
Human beings have experienced the shattering of mountains and rivers and the fall of land several times, and with the gradual prosperity of martial arts practice, they have gradually recovered their disadvantages.
In the midst of the demon clan's surrounding, the Federation, under the leadership of countless hot-blooded warriors, has recaptured a lot of land in the past 100 years, and people have gathered in the city.
Three billion people lived in it, and there were many warriors and powerful warriors in China, so Huaguo became the main gathering place of mankind, and Kyoto also became the political and cultural center of the Federation.
The original Huaguo Jiangxi Province is a hilly area, due to the mountainous nature of the province, many rivers, when the aura erupts, there are many demon beasts.
In the beast tide, except for a few cities in Jiangxi Province, all of them fell for a time. At that time, in order to concentrate on fighting against monsters and protecting the people, the government moved all the people to several large cities for centralized protection.
After the Federation decided to counterattack, because there were not many powerful demon clans in Gan Province. And there are still many forces against the demon clan in the occupied area, so the Federation has identified Gan Province as one of the counterattack locations.
With the help of the martial arts people and Daomen in Gan Province, except for a few mountains and rivers that were garrisoned by demon kings and did not recover, the demon clan was quickly exterminated and several human cities were re-established.
Lujiang City covers an area of 300 square kilometers and has a population of 5 million, and is located between the Poyang Lake Demon Clan and the Lushan Demon Clan. It was a frontier military base established in Jiangxi Province at that time in order to resist the attack of the demon clans in the two places.
With the repossession of Gan Province by humans, it is slowly going to its due role.
In the era of aura, scientists found that the energy contained in the flesh of demon beasts was dozens or even hundreds of times that of before, which could well supplement the energy required by martial artists when cultivating, so not only did the demon race hunt and kill humans, but humans also began to hunt and kill demon clans in large quantities.
Lujiang City is located between the two demon beast circles, the monster resources are abundant, and the periphery has the protection of the army, so many hunters like to hunt here, and gradually Lujiang has become a hunting-based city.
Lujiang City is divided into 12 districts, and Luohu District is located to the north of Lujiang City.
Luohu is a small one.
The cultural exams are over, and students flock out.
"Finally finished the exam, and I don't know if I can succeed in practicing qi and become a qi refiner" In front of the third junior high school teaching building, three teenagers looked at the teaching building behind them, and one of them said with a thin figure and a handsome face.
"Qi refiner, Ye Hua, you must be able to, you must know that as long as the refining body reaches the power of 5 ox, you can support the refining of qi, you have reached the power of 7.3 ox, ranking third, if you don't succeed, then we will be completely out of play" Next to him, a young man with a slightly chubby face said to him affirmatively, with a look of envy.
"Dongzi, you still have a chance, I only have 3.9 ox power, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to refine qi at the age of 18, forget it, I'll do my best, it's good to concentrate on studying literature, but don't forget me when you develop in the future" said the young man with thick lenses, short stature and thin face.
"Ning Qi, don't say that, your cultural performance is the first in the school, I heard that you have been admitted to Lujiang City No. 1 Middle School, if I have your good homework, what kind of martial arts will I practice" Dongzi said with a look of disdain, although his friend is not talented in martial arts, but he is the top in learning.
Since the establishment of the Federation, although it has always been respected by martial arts, science and technology have not been put down, and scientists still have a high social status.
Of course, compared to the qi practitioners who have strong combat power and prolong their lives, people still want to become qi practitioners.
For a hundred years. Based on the study of a large number of ancient cultivators' documents and materials, combined with the actual situation of the Federation martial artists, people sorted out a lot of advanced martial arts techniques, analyzed and summarized the martial arts science, and divided the martial arts into two realms: body refining and qi refining.
The Qi Refining Realm is divided into three layers: Qi Training, Liquid Refining and Jindan Period.
A qi refiner is a martial artist who has completed refining and refining qi, and refining and refining qi is to condense the qi and blood of the human body into true qi and run in the veins.
Theoretically, the more vigorous the qi and blood, the higher the success rate of refining and refining qi, and scientists have found that the madness in ancient books is actually the lack of qi and blood in the human body, which is not enough to support the refining and refining of qi, resulting in the reversal of the exercises and the burning of the body.
After years of statistics and experiments, scientists have found that refining the body can reach the power of 5 ox to ensure the energy required for refining and refining gas.
In primary and secondary education, students are all refining their bodies in order to exercise their qi and blood to the limit.
Everyone's physique is different, so everyone's limit is different, the average student can reach the power of 4 bulls after forging, while some geniuses can reach the power of 10 bulls, this is the difference between martial arts talents, regardless of diligence or not.
Scientists have studied that after the age of 16, it is the time when the body's qi and blood are vigorous and active, and the meridians are the easiest to break through, so students are required to start refining and refining qi at the age of 16.
Due to the nourishment of the aura and the huge energy contained in meat food, the physical fitness of people is very high nowadays, but there are still only a few students who can reach the power of the five bulls before the age of 16.
The vast majority of people only start refining qi when they are older, but as the body grows, it is difficult for the meridians to be opened, and even if the qi refining is successful, it is generally difficult to break through to the liquid refining stage.
"You said that in the martial arts examination in a month, will anyone be able to break through the fifth layer of qi refining" Ye Hua said, he still had no bottom in his heart that he would be able to break through to several layers of qi refining within a month.
After a month, only students who have become Qi Refiners will be able to participate in the martial arts examination.
"There will definitely be, didn't our senior Liang Jing be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School Martial Arts Department with the results of the fifth level of qi refining, you must know that when he was physically tested, he was 9.1 Ox, just a class of Lei Meng and Yu Shi, but the two of them were fierce people with a body test of more than 10 Ox," Ning Qi said affirmatively.
Because of the different talents and emphases of students, high schools are divided into martial arts classes and liberal arts classes.
"Ten bulls, there have been several sessions in our school that have not had this kind of genius, this time there are two at once, I think the leader of the martial arts exam this time must be one of them" Ye Hua said in awe, he knew that the gap between himself and the two, although it was only 2 bulls, but he had reached the limit, even if he gave himself more time, it was impossible to reach it.
"At that time, Lei Meng" Dongzi said, pointing to the playground not far away, the three teenagers slowly walked towards the outside of the school, and from time to time there were classmates looking at them and discussing softly.
"That person is Wei Changfeng, I heard that he is also 5 bulls, luck is really good, with the help of Yu Shi and the others, the results of the martial arts examination will definitely not be bad" Looking at the three people who were far away, Ye Hua said with envy, although his grades were better than Wei Changfeng, but with the help of Yu Shi and the others, he might not be as good as him during the martial arts examination.
"Hehe, the power of the five bulls may not be able to become a qi refiner, and the probability of failure is still quite high, hey, Dongzi, I didn't mean you, hey, don't slap your face" Ning Qi looked at Wei Changfeng's 'lewd smile' face in the distance and said casually.
Dongzi was originally very worried about whether he could succeed in Qi training, but when he heard Ning Qi's words, he couldn't help but be furious and pounced on him.
"Hey, I said that you guys look like this, it affects my image too much, do you see it, everyone else is watching" Next to the playground, Wei Changfeng didn't know how to discuss them in the distance, and he was relaxed after the exam, but the eyes of the surrounding classmates made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but bury the two of them beside him.
At that time, he was 1.5 meters tall, his body was emaciated, his complexion was iron blue, and he had sharp-beaked monkey gills.
Lei Meng is on the contrary one meter seven tall, with a fat head and big ears, and the fat of his body holds up the school uniform very big, both of them look different from ordinary people, and Wei Changfeng has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, no wonder he will bury the two.
"Damn, that's an admiring gaze, you scumbag, damn, wait for Lao Tzu to become a qi refiner in a few days, digest this energy, it won't be like this" Lei Meng said with a depressed face, although he knew that the classmates around him were because of their high and terrifying grades, but he had always hated his own image, this is Wei Changfeng, if others dared to joke with him, they would definitely be beaten by him.
The bodies of the two were not born like this, but because they had cultivated the secret exercises.
Cultivating the powerful body refining technique to the advanced realm will have some impact on the body, but as long as you break through to the qi refining period and turn the energy stored in the physical body into true qi, it will slowly return to its original appearance.
Due to the large number of physical exercises, the appearance of the two of them at that time was not uncommon in school.
The martial arts classic taught by the Federation is called "Martial Classics", which is said to be a martial arts completed by the martial arts god Lin Xiang leading the major grandmaster-level figures after several years of painstaking efforts, divided into three volumes. Elementary and middle schools learn the first volume of the refining chapter.
The practice chapter of the martial arts includes several well-known exercises such as "Iron Cloth Shirt", "Golden Bell Jar", etc., most of the students choose what suits them, and students with good conditions will go to Wuge to buy some better ones.
In the era of science and technology, the aura is not obvious, and the martial arts are weak, so all kinds of precious martial arts classics can be seen everywhere, and everyone can read them.
After the outbreak of aura, the government popularized the method of teaching and practice, and all kinds of folk martial arts bloomed, uneven, strong and weak, and the federation abandoned many low-level martial arts and collected them in the martial arts pavilion for free reference.
High-level martial arts, learning has to be paid, in order to encourage the folk families to deliver martial arts, so that more people can practice, of course, if you want to buy a high-level martial arts, the price to pay is also very high.
Yu Shi Lei Meng and the two went further, they learned the family martial arts method, the Yu family and the Lei family are both big families in the Federation, according to legend, the ancestor has broken through the ground level, Yu Shi's family tradition is "Dead Wood Gong", ranked 19th in the Wu Pavilion. Lei Meng's family martial arts "Maitreya Gong" ranked 20th in the martial arts.
Of course, it is not that the higher the ranking, the better, but also depends on the fit between a person and the exercises.
Each exercise is set by the creator according to his own physical condition, so the more similar the constitution of the latecomer and the creator of the exercise, the smoother the cultivation, on the contrary, if the difference in constitution is too great, the speed of cultivation will be slower.
When the children of the big families in the federation reach the age of learning martial arts, they will let them test their physique to see if they are suitable for learning family martial arts, and if the fit is less than 60, they generally go to buy other martial arts practices.
At that time, the fit for the Deadwood Gong reached 90, and Lei Meng reached 92, which was a very high fit, and it was also the reason why they were able to achieve such a refining result.
Wei Changfeng's family conditions are good, when Wei Changfeng was young, he also took him to the martial arts pavilion to choose the physical exercises, he naturally longed for those powerful and powerful exercises that ranked high, but his father didn't know why he chose "Taijiquan", Taijiquan, as the top ten exercises in the Federation, has always been sought after, but it is mainly based on qi cultivation and is not suitable for physical training.
Wei Changfeng knew that Taijiquan was ranked high, and it was far less painful to practice than other body refining exercises, so he happily accepted it.
"It's about to graduate, time flies so fast" The three of them laughed, and when they arrived outside the school, Wei Changfeng stretched his waist, looked back at the school, and sighed with some emotion.
"Why, it's still so literary, you go back and work hard to improve your physical fitness, I believe that you are the only one in this school who has not exercised your physical fitness to the limit" Yu Shi looked at Wei Changfeng seriously. He believes that even if his old friend's physical limit is inferior to his own, it should not be too different, and it is impossible to only have the strength of five cows.
"Okay, don't worry, my brother will definitely become a qi refiner, my goal is to reach the peak of liquid refining, live for 50 more years, how can I stop at the qi refining period" Wei Changfeng said with confidence, why didn't he work hard, but he didn't show it in front of the two of them, and he practiced very hard when he was at home, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reach the power of 5 bulls at all, but Tai Chi is really not very suitable for body refining, he has wanted to change to a body refining method since the first year of junior high school, but his father has always disagreed.
"Hehe, you are full of confidence, even if you succeed in refining qi with your cultivation, your cultivation will definitely not be enough in the future" Lei Meng diverted the topic, his fat face narrowed into a slit, and he smiled obscenely.
"Dead fatty, you are so obese, but be careful, according to scientific research, the body fat people will not be very good, even if you are afraid of it, it will be wasted" Wei Changfeng adjusted his mood and hit the thunder fiercely.
"Damn, madman, brother, I am all energy, and I will rely on them after refining qi, don't you know, those brothers in my family don't know how much to envy my flesh" Lei Meng patted the meat on his stomach angrily.
"I'll see you in a month, I'll be practicing at home this month," Yu Shi said as he looked at his two friends around him.
"Me too, my Lao Tzu was helping me prepare a few days ago, but he was bored with Lujiang" Lei Meng pouted and said, his Lao Tzu Lei Ying is the fourth generation of the Lei family, the Lei family is one of the big families of the Federation, and the strength is very strong in the federal public security system.
As the son of a family, Lei Ying is accustomed to the prosperity of Kyoto, where is he willing to stay in a second-tier city like Lujiang, but the family rules are like this, so he has no choice, Lei Meng's talent makes him see the hope of going back, so he has always placed high hopes on him.
At that time, the situation was similar, they were born in big families, they could practice the family's martial arts and get more cultivation resources.
But the family's resources are also limited, so the internal competition is also very fierce, the better your qualifications, the greater the support.
At that time, the two of them had a strong talent in martial arts, so they received strong support from the family, and they also had to achieve corresponding results to repay the family.
"Okay, see you in a month" Wei Changfeng was a little depressed, the three years of getting along made him recognize these two friends very much.
The separation made Wei Changfeng very reluctant, but Wei Changfeng knew that with the results of the two of them, high school must be a key middle school, and it was even possible that they would be taken back to Kyoto by their family.
I must have studied in a high school in Luohu District, this is the era of Reiki, and the talent of a martial artist determines everything.
"I heard my grandfather say that the Jindan realm can increase the lifespan to 200, Changfeng, you have to come on," Yu Shi, who walked into the distance, looked back and said, he also knew that if there was no accident, the intersection with Wei Changfeng would be smaller and smaller, and it was not about emotion, but due to different circles and different cognitions, so he wanted to stimulate him and let him work hard.
"I'll work hard," Wei Changfeng said silently as he looked at the distant figures of his two friends.
His performance in school has always been very mediocre, his grades have been average, and he has become friends with Lei Meng, you must know that although the two of them talk and laugh easily when they are with Wei Changfeng, they are very cold to others, and other people can't get their friendship.
Wei Changfeng naturally knew this, and he had been cultivating hard in order to catch up with the footsteps of the two friends, but because of the exercises and qualifications, the gap was getting bigger and bigger instead of narrowing.
In the end, he only showed his indifference to martial arts in front of others, making them think that he was lazy and did not like to practice martial arts to maintain his small self-esteem.
"I hope my father is right," Wei Changfeng thought silently.
