Luzhou City, Luzhou Military University.

Class C of the third year.

Lin Xiao ...... Lin Xiao! ”

Lin Xiao came back to his senses and saw that on the podium, the white-haired history teacher was staring at him with a serious face.

"Read me these two paragraphs!"

Zhao Siya, the hair boy at the adjacent table, stretched out her white fingers and secretly compared a number under the table, and Lin Xiao stood up with understanding.

"On the evening of September 6, 2025, a small meteor named 'Wemlis' fell into the Pacific Ocean.

The impact did not cause serious damage to the coastal states, but the cosmic radiation it carried spread to the global ...... in just one year."

"Biological mutations, the hidden realm opens, and the Blue Star enters the cataclysmic era."

“…… Face the beasts that have evolved to become stronger, and even able to resist nuclear weapons.

Human nations began to form alliances and merge, eventually forming a federation of five nations.

And jointly established the Alien Beast Hunter Association to train those warriors who have evolved their physical abilities after radiation, and even awakened abilities, to resist the threat of alien beasts. ”

The teacher, who was holding the textbook "History of the Cataclysm", bowed his head slightly and waved him to sit down.

"Adjust your condition and don't pass out again in the afternoon training."

There were scattered laughter in the class, either concerned or teasing, focusing their attention on Lin Xiao.

In this school, which targets the army and even the Hunters' Association, it can be said that it is quite humiliating to faint during physical training.

Sitting at the back table of the second row, Wu Zhixing, who was burly and had a shoehorn head, said coldly:

"Crane tail ...... Don't drag your feet in the class competition next month! ”

Wu Zhixing's comprehensive score in actual combat is the first in the class, the top five in the year, and he is a rich second generation, which can be said to be quite prestigious in the class.

As soon as he spoke, several people in the class who were looking forward to him also answered.

"Yes, Lin Xiao, how did you get in?"

"I can't graduate with this grade, so it's better to quit school and go to work early."

"Last month's confrontation was kicked by Wang Rui of Class B, which was too embarrassing to be seconded......"

……

Raising her hand to stop Zhao Siya, who wanted to speak for him, Lin Xiao smiled lightly as she puffed up her face angrily.

He didn't take the ridicule of his classmates to heart, Lin Xiao was used to the ridicule of others.

Since two years ago, he has had headaches and coma from time to time.

His mother took him to several check-ups with the savings she had saved, but nothing was found.

In this way, a small dizziness for three days and a large dizziness every month.

The cultural class was fine, but the physical performance gradually couldn't keep up with the pace of the classmates, and became the tail of the crane in the class.

If it weren't for his excellent grades and good attitude, the school might have persuaded him to quit.

"Might" is the cosmic energy discovered by humans after the cataclysm, which can be absorbed and used by the human body, and even some people have awakened mysterious abilities because of it.

It used to have different names in various countries – magic, energy, force, aura, and so on.

Later, it was given the official name "Mighty" by the World Hunters Association.

The classmate who made fun of him just now was actually right.

If this continues, Lin Xiao will most likely not meet the graduation standards, let alone be admitted to the army or the Hunters Association.

Dropping out of school and going out to work can at least help my mother share the pressure of life.

That's what he thought himself, before yesterday......

Looking at the paragraphs in the textbook, Lin Xiao covered his hands and tried to memorize them silently.

After stumbling and bumping, he successfully memorized this text.

[Shorthand -Lv0: XP +2]

Glancing at the panel floating in the air, Lin Xiao silently lowered his eyes and began to recite the other paragraphs.

[Shorthand -Lv0: XP +3]

[Shorthand -Lv0: XP +1]

[Shorthand -Lv0: XP +2]

……

This is a system that came out of nowhere yesterday after being unconscious.

Lin Xiao seriously suspected that the problem of being in a coma in the past few years was caused by it.

Because when he woke up this morning, he didn't have that heavy sense of oppression in his head.

You can see the experience value of your skills, and there is also a person panel.

[Name: Lin Xiao]

[Potential: 0]

[Power: 8]

[Dexterity: 9]

[Constitution: 7]

[Spirit: 10]

[Skill: Power Refining (Defective)-Lv1 (82%), Fighting Technique-Lv0 (89%), Two Hand Sword -Lv0 (95%), Footwork -Lv0 (78%), Shorthand -Lv0 (66%)]

[Note: The mean for healthy adult males is 5.] 】

The average adult male is 5, and Lin Xiao's panel data looks good, but that's just a comparison with ordinary people.

In this school that cultivates confrontation with alien beasts, pick any person, and the power of one punch is at least 500kg, and the running speed can easily increase to 18m/s.

The radiation of the cataclysm has become powerful not only with alien beasts, but also with humans.

Especially after the human race has mastered the power cultivation method.

Lin Xiao watched a video on the Internet when he was a child-

The hundred-meter-tall terrifying demon ape was unscathed in the baptism of human gunfire and missiles, just when the military was preparing to launch nuclear weapons.

A mysterious hunter appeared on the battlefield with a dark red war knife in his hand, and with just one sword, he split the hundred-meter demon ape in half.

This heroic scene made Lin Xiao deeply longing for him when he was a child, he longed to become such a strong man, and it was also the motivation for him to work hard to be admitted to the Military Martial Arts Academy.

If his body was still the same, then Lin Xiao would definitely have to give up his dream and live in peace as an ordinary person.

But now that things have changed, he wants to try again......

[Shorthand -Lv0: XP +4]

[Shorthand -Lv0: XP +3]

[Shorthand-Lv0 >>> Shorthand-Lv1! Potential +1]

"Huh......?"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he clicked on the annotation of "potential points"——

[Potential points: can be used for skill optimization and attribute bonus points.] 】

What is Skill Optimization? Lin Xiao focused on the first skill.

【Power Refining Method (Defective) >>> Power Refining Method】

[Potential Points Required: 3]

Lin Xiao nodded secretly, he probably understood.

The Vaillant Refining Method was taught to them by the school, and I heard that the complete version has 7 volumes.

The school only teaches the first two volumes, and the full content can be obtained for free after joining the army or the Hunters' Guild.

Of course, it is best to have it now, but Lin Xiao still has many shortcomings, so don't lose your potential points on this first.

After Lin Xiao swept through the upgrade conditions of other skills, he began to study the annotations of basic attributes.

"Strength" is linked to muscle strength, punch resistance, explosiveness, and speed.

"Agility" is related to dynamic vision, balance, limb agility, nerve reflex speed, force loss, etc.

Both Lin Xiao can understand, but there are some differences in "physique" and "spirit".

[Physique: physical strength, resilience, resistance, nutrient absorption, muscle strength growth, bone strength, visceral strength...... Cellular energy absorption, cellular energy storage. 】

[Spirit: willpower, mental resistance, memory, calculation ability, spatial imagination...... Energy affinity, energy control, ability strength. 】

Energy Absorption, Energy Storage, Energy Affinity, Energy Control, Ability Strength......

After the cataclysm, the reason why the physical strength of human beings has increased is because the body is involuntarily absorbing the energy of the universe.

The "Power Refining Method" further improves the efficiency and better obtains energy to strengthen the body.

Since the physique and the spirit are related to these points, can it be understood as-

As long as his physique and spirit increase, the speed of his power cultivation will increase, and the speed of his body enhancement will also increase......

Equivalent to washing tendons and marrow?

Lin Xiaowei's excellent results in refining may be because his mental strength is as high as 10 points, which is twice that of ordinary people.

As for why the physical strength is not enough?

In addition to being in too many comas and not exercising enough, it is estimated that he has been dragged back by a bad physique, and the effect of cell energy absorption is poor.

Also, why is the strength of an ability tied to psychics? Could it be that spiritual attributes are related to ability awakening!?

A hint of sharpness flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, and he quietly wrote down this matter.

'Physique, add points!' ’
