Chapter 33

“My Life Field Energy has exceeded 17…”

Chu Zhou was pleasantly surprised.

Normally, the Life Field Energy of a martial artist who had advanced from an Apprentice to the Awakening Realm, would have just broken through 10.

Those with better talent could reach 11 on the Life Field Energy.

Only true prodigies could reach 12.

However, Chu Zhou had reached 17.

How could he not be happy?

“According to the official information, the Life Field Energy of a beginner Awakening Realm martial artist can exceed 10, and the Life Field Energy of an intermediate Awakening Realm martial artist can exceed 20…”

“In other words, I’m only three points away from becoming an intermediate Awakening Realm martial artist.”

Chu Zhou suddenly felt that he had done the right thing by upgrading his Basic Breathing Technique to Level 10 before injecting the genetic potion…

How could his Life Field Energy have reached 17 when he had just become an Awakening Realm martial artist otherwise?

“So this is an Awakening Realm martial artist? It’s indeed completely different.”

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the state of his body.

He felt that his body was filled with vitality, as if he had endless energy.

“If I want to understand the changes in my body, I have to go to the martial arts school and use the advanced equipment inside to measure all aspects of my body…”

“Furthermore, I’m already an Awakening Realm martial artist. It’s time for me to go to the martial arts school to obtain the martial artist certification.”

“I can only enjoy the various benefits and privileges of a martial artist when I pass the martial artist certification and obtain the official recognition!”

He roughly sensed his body and thought to himself.

“I’ll share the good news of my advancement to a martial artist with my sister and father now! I reckon that they’re also very anxious…”

His father and sister knew that he was trying to break through to the Martial Artist Realm.

They must be waiting for his news in the hall.

Chu Zhou got up, got off the bed, and pushed open the door.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Both his sister and father’s gazes landed on him instantly.

His sister looked a little impatient, but also a little worried.

His father’s gaze was very calm… Yes, his father had always been like this. He had never seen him show negative emotions such as worry, nervousness, excitement, and so on.

“Brother, did you succeed…”

His sister, Chu Yu, asked softly.

As if she was worried that Chu Zhou failed and that it would provoke him.

“Sigh…”

Chu Zhou sighed in melancholy.

Her younger sister, Chu Yu, instantly tensed up. Her big eyes revealed traces of worry.

“Of course I succeeded! How could an outstanding person like me… fail?” Chu Zhou suddenly smiled seeing that his sister was about to comfort him.

“Success… Success?” Chu Yu, who was about to comfort Chu Zhou, was slightly stunned. Then, she flew into a rage. “Big Brother, are you crazy? You’ve already succeeded. Why are you still sighing? You made me worry for you for nothing.”

How could Chu Yu not know that her brother was teasing her?

She grabbed the small school bag on the sofa angrily and threw it at Chu Zhou.

“Hahaha, are you happy that I’ve become a martial artist?”

Chu Zhou laughed and grabbed the bag.

Chu Yu also smiled happily. “Hehe, I’m happy!”

“Big Brother, I heard that you can move into those villas in the elite district as long as you pass the martial artist certification of the martial arts school!”

She looked at Chu Zhou expectantly.

She had seen many videos of villas in elite districts on television and on the Internet.

The residential area, where those villas were located, was spacious and had beautiful scenery. There was even a fountain.

The interior of the villas were incomparably spacious and comfortable. It was much better than the small house that they were living in now.

She wanted to live in a big villa as well.

“Something like that…” Chu Zhou smiled.

There were indeed many special privileges after becoming a martial artist.

Being assigned a villa was amongst them.

This was also the reason why many people dreamed of becoming martial artists.

Basic necessities for the entire family would no longer be a problem when one became a martial artist. It could directly change the fate of a family.

Of course, enjoying an extremely luxurious life was another matter altogether.

“Yay, that’s great. I can live in a big villa now!”

Chu Yu jumped excitedly on the dilapidated sofa.

When Chu Zhou saw this scene, the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of satisfaction.

He worked hard to become a martial artist. He wanted to change his family’s situation apart from the desire to become stronger.

He would soon be able to change his living environment now that he had become a martial artist.

“It would be even better if I could heal Father’s limp!”

“I’ve checked online. The Water of Life seems to cost a billion.”

“Then, the most important thing next is to earn money. I’ll set a small goal.. To earn a billion first!”

Chu Zhou looked at his father’s crippled leg and set a small goal in his heart.

Buzz…

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Chu Zhou took out his phone and saw a message from Liu Qianqian.

He also saw five or six messages that he did not have time to read when he was trying to break through.

He browsed through them one by one.

“Chu Zhou, are you free? Do you want to meet at school?”

—This was from Liu Qianqian.

“F*ck, Crackpot, you’re awesome. You actually won first place in the elite trial… You may not know it, but the entire school’s teachers and students were in an uproar when the news spread to the school. Almost all the teachers and students cheered. The scene was spectacular. Hehe, I’ve also benefited from your good fortune. I’m very popular with the girls in school now!”

This was from his best friend, Dong Wende.

“Come to school!”

This was from Big Sister Saber.

“Chu Zhou, the First Military University promises to immediately provide you with a scholarship of 10 million Alliance Dollars as long as you join us. There are also three secret manuals— breathing techniques, movement techniques, and combat techniques— worth less than 20 million yuan for you.”

“Chu Zhou, the Second Military University promises to immediately provide you with a scholarship of 12 million Alliance Dollars when you join us. C-rank breathing technique, C-rank movement technique, C-rank combat technique, C-rank body tempering technique, C-rank combat uniform, C-rank weapon… You can choose any four. The school will provide the funds!”

…

In addition to messages from Liu Qianqian, Dong Wende, and Big Sister Saber, there were also messages from the commissioners of the First Military University and the Second Military University.

They basically invited Chu Zhou to join the university and promised some rewards.

Chu Zhou looked at these messages from the university commissioners and felt extremely emotional.

Not long ago, he had become enemies with Jin Zhennan because Jin Zhennan was going to replace him.

Now…

He could enter any university he wanted.

Moreover, he could also obtain an unimaginably high scholarship and other incomparably generous rewards.

This change in fate was truly miraculous.

However… He no longer needed to enter a martial arts university.

He was already an Awakening Realm martial artist. There was not much point in entering a martial arts university.

After becoming a true martial artist, there were usually only four paths…

One was to join the army!

The second was to join the martial arts school!

The third was to join a financial group!

The fourth was to become a mercenary!

Each of these four paths had its own advantages and disadvantages.

Chu Zhou had to think carefully before deciding which path to take.

He replied to the six university commissioners seriously and thanked them for their invitation. Then, he said that he had already advanced to a martial artist and did not want to continue with the university path.

Soon, he received replies from six university commissioners congratulating him on successfully advancing to a martial artist.

No one continued to invite him to join their university.

Obviously, these commissioners understood that there was no need for Chu Zhou to join their universities anymore.

Chu Zhou smiled calmly after reading the replies of the six commissioners.

“Dad, Xiaoyu, I have something to do at school. Don’t prepare my portion for lunch.”

With that, Chu Zhou pushed the door open and left.

He planned to go to the school to meet Liu Qianqian, Dong Wende, Big Sister Saber, and the others. Then, he would go to the martial arts school to undergo the martial arts certification.
