High School Student with Immortal Race System

In the basement, Huo Jun roared, "Get a move on!"

The remaining seven members of the ten-person group exchanged glances, and finally, one of them stepped forward.

Yang Shen recognized him... the newly promoted number one student in their grade.

"Yuan Rui."

Apparently, they thought sending out one strong person was enough. They were too embarrassed to gang up on him.

Yang Shen didn’t waste time with taunts, simply twisting his waist.

With each movement, Yang Shen’s body temperature rose. After the pharmacy incident, his control over the "Rising Sun Wheel" had become increasingly deft, and the wind-up time had shortened considerably.

Finally, a faint steam emanated from his body. It didn’t dissipate, but instead formed a ribbon-like shape behind his back, where the faint outline of a blurry circle was visible.

Yuan Rui’s eyes narrowed. He had never seen such a phenomenon, not even from the expensive private tutors his family had hired.

’We’re both Martial Artists... so why is his style so different?!’

Only Huo Jun, standing behind them, looked increasingly pleased...

He naturally recognized it. This was "Fist Intent Infection."

A special ability where a Martial Artist uses their Martial Dao Will as a driver and "Source" as fuel to alter the real world.

Martial Dao Will isn’t a requirement for advancing in realms. Many High Realm Martial Artists have not grasped it, making it a special talent, one in ten thousand.

Yang Shen’s Fist Intent Infection was becoming more and more refined! The heat-infused fists from the monthly exam had gradually been integrated, infecting his entire body. Perhaps he would soon be able to affect the outside world.

’Just as I thought! Look, he killed two people over the weekend and immediately made a huge leap in progress!’

’This just goes to show, you have to find the right method for education!’

’What’s the use of just attending class! You have to give the students a chance to kill!’

The next moment, Yang Shen moved, charging forward at a speed far exceeding an early-stage Marrow Refining practitioner.

Yuan Rui had clearly underestimated Yang Shen’s speed, and he also lacked true life-or-death combat experience.

In the time it took him to space out, Yang Shen was already face-to-face with him.

After all, the "combat assessments" at school were a completely different beast from a "real battle" of life and death.

When Yang Shen was in the Bone Training Realm, he was already qualified to go head-to-head with the Marrow Refining Realm Giant-mouthed Woman.

And now that he was in the early-stage Marrow Refining Realm, the "grade’s number one" of the same realm was simply no match for him!

Especially since this was a "grade’s number one" who had only taken the spot after Xu Bamboo.

If Yang Shen had a spear in his hands, he could have dealt a fatal blow by now, turning him into a shish kebab.

Yuan Rui was sent flying with a single punch!

Yang Shen didn’t even use the heat of his "Flame Fist." It was just a friendly spar between classmates; there was no need to inflict lasting injuries.

But even without going all out, his momentum was still unstoppable.

Yang Shen looked at the students helping Yuan Rui up. "Come on, come on... if we don’t get a proper fight going, Huo is going to start making trouble."

He had no doubt that if the fight wasn’t intense enough, this Madman would suddenly take a potshot at them...

Early-stage Marrow Refining, second-level Qi Cultivation.

He had grasped Fist Intent, initially possessed Fist Intent Infection, had the Buddha Sound Body Refining Technique, and his physical strength was maxed out for his realm.

Even without counting his Minor Magic from the Cultivation Side, and even without a weapon, Yang Shen’s stats were still far superior to others in the same realm.

Yuan Rui had been sent flying by a single blow and couldn’t get up for a long time, feeling both anxious and angry.

But once he lost his spot, two more people quickly moved in to face Yang Shen.

Then it was three people... four people...

Although there were seven people free, without specialized coordination, four was the limit.

Any more just wouldn’t fit.

So the scene turned into Yang Shen single-handedly facing a four-person rotation battle. Whenever someone was sent flying, another would take their place.

The more he fought, the more relaxed Yang Shen felt. ’Sure enough, Xu Bamboo is one of a kind.’

Being number one in the grade wasn’t her limit; it was the limit of the ranking board.

She was far stronger than the other "top ten" students.

And so, in a 1v3 and a 1v4 rotation battle, Xu Bamboo and Yang Shen had actually withstood the pressure.

The ten-person group, on the other hand, grew more and more frustrated as they fought!

’Ganging up is one thing, but this is a rotation battle!’

’And if it’s a rotation battle, fine! Are we really supposed to win by exhausting them? What’s the difference between that and a bunch of useless fish trying to win by overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers until they burst?!’

This was even more unacceptable to them than simply losing. After a while, they lost all will to fight. No matter how much Huo Jun roared, they wouldn’t go up.

The fight went on, and the opponents rotated several times. With a final front kick, showing no mercy for the fairer sex, Yang Shen pinned Cao Wei to the wall.

He turned his head and saw he had no opponents left.

He and Xu Bamboo shared a look and smiled.

’It’s finally over. That was a satisfying fight...’

Cao Wei lay on the ground, seemingly with no intention of getting up. She covered her face and remained motionless, only her ears turning red.

"Yang... are you tired... want to sit for a while..."

She even squirmed a little as she spoke.

Yang Shen rolled his eyes and pulled Cao Wei to her feet.

’Just act normal, would you? The way everyone’s looking at us is getting weird!’

’Especially Zhuzi...’

As for the other members of the ten-person group, they all looked dejected, as if their faith in Martial Arts had been shattered.

Some were still unconvinced, believing the problem was their lack of coordination.

’If we had techniques for fighting together, we should have at least been able to win by ganging up on them, right?!’

But unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

It was like checking the cards after you’ve already lost the hand—pointless.

To prevent Cao Wei from having another fit—wondering why he pulled her up and not someone else, or something similar—Yang Shen went over and shook hands with each member of the ten-person group.

They weren’t on the same path, but they weren’t enemies either. The group had been quite restrained at the beginning of the fight, and they had a favorable impression of Yang Shen.

Yang Shen shook Yuan Rui’s hand. "Good fight."

Yuan Rui’s face flushed, but he didn’t say anything.

He had been the perennial number two. After being number one for a short while, he had a surge of confidence, which immediately turned into a mountain of pressure.

But he had a steady personality. Before, he had been single-mindedly focused on studying to compete directly with Xu Bamboo. He wasn’t a bad person.

Halfway through gym class, Huo Jun left the basement to go manage the "wet trash" running on the field.

Of course, this wasn’t because he had any fundamental sense of responsibility as an educator.

It was purely because wet trash had its own benefits: they were very satisfying to curse at.

Yang Shen glanced at the time. Class was almost over, so he decided to sit on the soft mats and cultivate with the others.

"Zhuzi, you’ve gotten stronger again. What’s your Qi and Blood Value?"

Xu Bamboo giggled, noticing a pleasant scent coming from Yang Shen beside her—one of the signs of the Marrow Refining Realm.

"553. You’re amazing too. What’s your Qi and Blood Value?"

"Around 336. A long way from you."

A Qi and Blood Value of 300 was the entry point for the Marrow Refining Realm. After that, 500 was the threshold for the mid-stage, and 800 was the threshold for the late-stage.

1,000 points marked the great barrier of the Innate Realm.

This represented a 700-point span, more than double the total of all previous realms combined!

Therefore, at a normal growth rate, the average student would spend their entire university career in this realm.

At an ordinary university, most people couldn’t reach the Innate Realm by graduation. Graduating with a bachelor’s degree at the Late-stage Marrow Refining Realm was the norm.

Hmm... obviously, this didn’t include special cases. For instance, word was that two years ago, someone had started university already in the Innate Realm...

Talk about a freak of nature. That’s taking prodigy to a whole new level!

Chen Beiwang himself claimed to have taken the college entrance exams at the Late-stage Marrow Refining Realm. His realm at the time of the exam was already higher than many people’s at university graduation.

Of course, if that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have been able to get into "Jiangti."

Yang Shen’s main "Source Supplement" came from Cultivation, but the amount required grew larger and larger as his realm increased...

However, he felt he was very close to the third level of Qi Cultivation. Perhaps when he formed his "Qi Sea," there would be other changes, like an increase in his Cultivation speed.

No matter the time or realm, the Cultivation Side was his core competitive advantage... Bored, Yang Shen glanced at the only two quests in his system...

’Gotta be proactive about quests. Keep checking them for new developments.’

He had already completed several rounds of main and side quests. Although the system rewards were focused on family development, they were also excellent for him personally.

The current side quest, "A Single Spirit Stone Can Stump a Nascent Soul Cultivator," was in progress and not far from completion.

But the main quest, "Increase Family Members to 10 (6/10)," was a bit stuck.

This time, it wasn’t like two little kids were just going to show up at his Uncle’s door to become his sons...

So, besides the impossible options of "having his own children" and "getting married in the short term"...

...that left two paths: "apprentices are counted at 0.5x" and "long-term family employees are counted at 0.2x."

’Apprentices, employees... Hmm, retainers also count as headcount.’
