In the eyes of other students,
Lu Yuan had clearly become a Martial Arts Fool.
Practicing punches in the morning,
practicing punches in the afternoon,
and still practicing punches in the evening.
He even practiced punches in his dreams at night.
At the beginning,
his movements were clumsy, and his techniques were full of flaws.
But as time went by,
his techniques became increasingly fluid,
like flowing water, perfected to the utmost.
Every move seemed to be honed thousands of times.
Half a year later,
one early morning,
in the training field, in front of the test wooden stake,
"Boom!"
Lu Yuan struck out with a punch.
The punch was fierce and mighty,
like a roaring mountain and surging sea, faintly accompanied by the sound of thunder!
"Crack!"
Before everyone saw how Lu Yuan punched,
that ironwood stake shattered loudly, exploding into countless pieces.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this scene,
all the students felt as if struck by lightning, involuntarily sucking in a breath of cold air.
Even Father Lu, secretly watching from the side, had a look of disbelief on his face.
This ironwood stake was sturdier than steel, even a small-caliber pistol couldn't penetrate it.
Yet it was pulverized by Lu Yuan's single punch?
Moreover,
if they hadn't seen it wrong,
the technique Lu Yuan used was indeed the highest realm of Wind and Thunder Fist.
Wind and Thunder Fist Intent!
A two-year-old could comprehend Fist Intent?
What kind of genius is this?
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death!
[Heaven-defying Fate Change: You comprehended Wind and Thunder Fist at two years old, greatly enhancing your physical qualities!]
[Mainline Progress: 3%!]
[Reward 2000 Simulation Points!]
[Heaven Rewards Diligence time increased to two hours!]
Hearing the prompt,
a hint of a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
The duration of Heaven Rewards Diligence had increased again.
The most important thing is he succeeded in changing his fate.
This also means,
he is one step closer to becoming an official Simulator.
Thinking of this,
Lu Yuan couldn't wait to spend all 24 hours a day practicing punches.
Time flew by.
Another half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
[You practiced Posture ten thousand times, achieving Perfection in Basic Body Technique!]
[You practiced Stepping Technique ten thousand times, greatly increasing body speed!]
[You practiced punches a hundred thousand times, elevating power to Minor Success in Internal Strength!]
Until one day,
Lu Yuan's whole body trembled.
The Qi and blood within him almost burst out like wolf smoke, his entire skeletal system crackling like popping beans.
He also grew significantly taller, akin to a six or seven-year-old child.
Besides this,
an invisible, untouchable, transparent energy appeared in his meridians.
This energy, although only as thin as a hair, possessed infinite utility.
Not only could it temper meridians and bones, but it could also greatly increase his power.
This is what martial artists refer to as Internal Strength!
"Ssss!"
He casually closed his fingers and grabbed at the wall.
Hard tiles and cement in his hand crumbled like tofu, directly shattered to pieces.
"The sensation of getting stronger is really good."
Lu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling a heroic spirit of having the world within his grasp.
"Moreover, the duration of Heaven Rewards Diligence has increased again."
"Two hours is enough for me to practice Wind and Thunder Fist six times."
"And during the continued duration of talent, all aspects of my body are at their peak."
"Furthermore, my Martial Dao talent is already superior to most martial artists."
"Efforts yield a hundredfold return."
"In other words, my two hours of martial practice is equivalent to others practicing hard for two months!"
Lu Yuan marveled in secret, stunned by his own conclusions.
Entering Internal Strength at the age of two,
such fearsome speed of advancement was unmatched in the entire Martial Arts Realm.
Unfortunately,
the higher the martial arts grade, the stronger the internal strength it condenses.
Yet Wind and Thunder Fist is just a common third-class martial technique.
The internal strength it condenses is only as thin as a strand of hair.
"If I replaced Wind and Thunder Fist with the advanced martial arts of those ancient martial sects, wouldn't I just take off?"
Lu Yuan bitterly smiled.
Although Martial Dao in this world is gradually declining,
those advanced martial arts secret manuals truly exist.
For example, Dragon Tiger Mountain's Golden Light Spell, Shaolin's Muscle Strengthening Scripture and Tathagata Divine Palm, and Wudang's Pure Yang Infinite Skill.
These advanced martial arts are profound and esoteric, condensed over dozens of generations of endeavor.
Their power is truly incomparable to Wind and Thunder Fist.
However,
ancient martial sects have strict rules.
All advanced martial arts are considered untransmittable secrets, strictly forbidden for outsiders to learn.
Lu Yuan could only compromise,
finding people to help him collect a bunch of street-level inferior martial arts.
Iron Cloth Shirt, Eagle Claw Skill, Iron Palm, Descendants' Leg...
If there isn't enough quality, make up for it with quantity.
With the blessing of [Heaven Rewards Diligence],
Lu Yuan did not spend much time to successfully cultivate these low-level martial arts to Perfection Realm.
[You practiced Iron Cloth Shirt a thousand times, greatly enhancing body defense!]
[You practiced Eagle Claw Skill a thousand times, achieving Great Success in the technique, able to shatter stones with a snap of a finger!]
[You practiced Stone-breaking Palm a thousand times, technique perfected, comprehending Mountain Opening Realm!]
After comprehending multiple realms,
the internal strength that was originally as thin as a strand of hair grew to the thickness of an earphone cord!
Moreover, the duration of [Heaven Rewards Diligence] had increased to four hours!
This made Lu Yuan overjoyed.
He was immersed in cultivation daily.
As time passed,
Lu Yuan's reputation in the martial arts hall grew daily, even surpassing Father Lu.
Other students were also admirably convinced by him.
In this era where Martial Dao declines and technology flourishes,
many students practiced martial arts simply to keep fit.
But under Lu Yuan's inspiration,
a few students were moved by his perseverance and decided to make Martial Dao their lifelong pursuit.
The martial arts hall's business also improved.
Father Lu was overjoyed.
He directly appointed Lu Yuan as the Young Hall Master of the martial arts hall.
Under Lu Yuan's guidance,
the abilities of the students in the martial arts hall improved by leaps and bounds, with almost every one undergoing significant change.
As spring passed and autumn came,
in the blink of an eye,
Lu Yuan turned three.
The martial arts hall rating also arrived as scheduled.
This martial arts hall rating was the first significant event in the simulation life.
It also concerned the direction of the follow-up plot.
Father Lu, due to an early injury, had already failed two ratings consecutively.
This was the final chance.
There was absolutely no room for error!
Thinking of this,
Lu Yuan directly approached Father Lu, deciding to fight in his place.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Father Lu was dumbfounded.
What a joke?
That is a martial arts hall rating,
where results are taken seriously, life and death disregarded!
There are even martial artists with Great Success in Internal Strength participating in the battle.
He knew his son had an extraordinary talent, a martial arts prodigy not seen in a hundred years.
But how could Lu Yuan, a three-year-old child, possibly be a match for those seasoned internal strength masters?
"No, absolutely not!"
The cheap father refused.
"Do you know how dangerous the martial arts hall rating is?"
"Fists have no eyes; life and death are not considered!"
"Every martial artist must sign a death consent form before stepping onto the stage!"
"Moreover, only the hall master or deputy hall master is qualified to step onto the stage, what are you, a child, getting involved for?"
"Even if I die on stage, you absolutely cannot fight!"
The usually good-natured Lu Zhengming rarely got angry.
He had average talents, achieving nothing in this life, so even dying didn't matter.
But Lu Yuan was still young, and he was the most talented descendant in the Lu Family for generations, with potential to become a Grandmaster.
If anything happened to Lu Yuan, he would undoubtedly be a sinner of the Lu Family!
