Chapter 1: Your Blood Qi Baby Has Awakened!
"Ahem, son, did your strength increase today?"
At the dining table, Xu Wei's father Xu Zhangjiang, coughing, asked in a warm voice.
"Right, son, the college entrance exam is in two months, and I saw on the news that this year's First‑tier Line is fist strength 1000 pounds exactly…"
Mother Zhao Huahua also looked at Xu Wei.
"It increased just a little…"
Seeing their hopeful gazes, Xu Wei felt pressure surge like a mountain, just like the college entrance exam in a past life.
They are an ordinary family; there is no Martial Artist at home.
But now it's the 25th century, and humanity has been resisting the Earth God for several hundred years.
From the beginning, everyone worked together to fight the Earth God.
Now society has begun to fragment.
Having no Martial Artist at home places one at the bottom of society.
They are low‑class!
Therefore, when they learned that Xu Wei has Martial Dao talent, his parents placed the hope of becoming a Martial Artist on him.
"Increased? Ahem, that's good, that's good!"
"Come, eat more meat; only by eating meat can you raise your blood Qi and increase strength."
Xu Zhangjiang pinched a piece of meat from his own bowl into Xu Wei's bowl, leaving his own bowl full of plain rice.
"Brother, here's my meat for you to eat!"
"Come on."
Sitting beside Xu Wei, his sister Xu Qingqing also pinched the meat from her bowl into Xu Wei's, then waved her little arm in a cheering gesture.
Xu Qingqing is very thin and small.
She is only about 1.5 m tall at fourteen or fifteen.
That is considered relatively short in the 25th century.
It's not that Xu Qingqing was born short or dislikes exercise.
It's just that she lacks Warrior talent, and the family's limited income can only prioritize nutrition for the laboring Xu Zhangjiang and the hopeful Martial Artist Xu Wei.
Seeing the coddled Xu Qingqing sitting beside him and then looking at the two pieces of meat—one large, one small—in his bowl, Xu Wei felt even more pressure.
The First‑tier Line baseline is fist strength 1000 pounds, plus a combat assessment.
The combat assessment need not be mentioned.
He has only reached 732 pounds now.
If nothing unexpected occurs, the First‑tier Line is almost impossible; even becoming a Martial Artist, he doesn't know how long it would take.
But he dares not say it, fearing his family's disappointment… "I've finished eating, I'll go back to my room to practice now."
After hastily finishing dinner, Xu Wei returned to his small room, closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Having done all that, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The room is small, containing only a desk and a bunk iron bed.
This room was originally shared by the siblings, but after his Martial Dao talent was detected, Xu Qingqing was reassigned to sleep in the living room so as not to disturb cultivation and rest.
Xu Wei had objected.
But his parents and Qingqing refused, so he had to give up.
"My parents and Qingqing all expect me to become a Martial Artist."
"To make me a Martial Artist, they have sacrificed too much, too much."
"I cannot wallow in self‑pity; I must pull myself together."
"Even if I can't get into the First‑tier Line and become a National Martial Artist, I must become a Self‑cultivating Warrior as soon as possible."
Those who enter Warrior University through the college entrance exam become National Martial Artists and enjoy Reserve Civil Servant benefits from the moment they start university.
After graduation they will be assigned to national agencies, with various privileges.
The benefits are said to be excellent.
It can truly be called a leap to the heavens!
Of course, good benefits also mean higher standards for becoming a National Martial Artist.
The standard to become a Martial Artist is fist strength reaching 1000 pounds!
Regardless of age, as long as one's fist strength can reach 1000 pounds, one can become a Martial Artist.
But National Martial Artists require that the 1000‑pound fist strength be achieved before age 18, and also demand a real‑combat assessment.
Those who can reach 1000‑pound fist strength before 18 are almost all elites or well‑resourced individuals.
Those who cannot reach 1000‑pound fist strength before 18 become Self‑cultivating Warriors; aside from receiving a monthly Martial Artist stipend, they have almost no benefits.
Although his heart is unwilling, Xu Wei has no choice but to set his goal on becoming a Self‑cultivating Warrior.
With that thought, Xu Wei began cultivation.
"Basic Blood Qi Cultivation Method"
This is a cultivation technique issued by the nation, one per person.
"Ding!
Your Basic Blood Qi Baby has woken up."
Abruptly, a voice rang in Xu Wei's mind.
He jerked his head up.
He surveyed his surroundings.
The room was silent.
"I... have awakened a system!"
?
Xu Wei's complexion changed.
He got excited!
He is a well‑known Blue Star transmigrator.
Before he transmigrated, the novels he read were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand.
Naturally, he knows what the situation is now.
He has awakened a system!
With a system, he can be like the pork leg in web novels.
Cultivation is super doubled.
In no time, he can get into a top university, become a civil servant, be appointed a general, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!
"System!
?
Xu Wei widened his eyes and tried to call.
No one responded to him.
"System?"
He called again, but still no one responded.
"Could it be that I'm hallucinating?"
Xu Wei was puzzled.
At that moment, the voice sounded again in his mind.
It was long.
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby is receiving world information"
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby discovers this is a High Martial World"
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby discovers you are a weakling"
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby is excited"
"She thinks you are too weak; a slip could kill you"
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby is super afraid you will die"
"The more you think, the more scared you get"
"The more scared you are, the more you think"
"Ahhh"
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby, to protect you, begins to vigorously cultivate"
"Ahhh"
What Ghost? Basic Blood Qi Baby? Still thinks it's a weakling? Is it a weakling? Isn't that recognized? Is it necessary to repeat a self‑blow once? And what about the Basic Blood Qi Baby starting to vigorously cultivate to protect itself?
Your cultivation is completely useless.
Xu Wei was thinking.
Suddenly!
He felt himself getting hot!
And.
Getting hotter and hotter!
This feeling is like... like... right!
I'm cultivating!
"When using the Basic Blood Qi Cultivation Method, the blood boils, then burns away impurities in the body, enhancing physical strength"
"My talent is poor; normally my cultivation makes blood boil slowly and the temperature is low"
"If we use numbers as an analogy, the previous cultivation efficiency was only 30, but now it is at least 50"
Xu Wei took a deep breath.
He was very surprised!
One must know that he is not cultivating now; it is the Basic Blood Qi Baby that is auto‑cultivating, which means he can get stronger while lying down. Moreover, the Basic Blood Qi Baby's cultivation efficiency even surpasses his!
"This is so awesome, but I don't know how long the Basic Blood Qi Baby will keep cultivating on its own"
"If it works nonstop for 24 hours, I might still have a chance to get into a top university"
Xu Wei's eyes flickered; in an instant he thought of many things, even what kind of wife to look for.
After all, the golden finger is already in hand; if life has no dreams, wouldn't it be no different from a salted fish?
Hehe.
Hehe.
Hehe.
Xu Wei giggled foolishly.
Smiling.
Smiling.
"Why do I feel hotter and hotter?"
Xu Wei's forehead began to sweat.
He touched his forehead.
Knock!
So hot!
At least 39 degrees.
"This temperature used to burn people to death!
But in this High Martial World it's not a big problem."
"But why do I have a slightly bad premonition?"
Cultivating caused a noticeable change in body temperature, which means the cultivation efficiency is very high.
Measured with the same digital gauge, it's now at about 80 at least.
Definitely the cultivation efficiency of a genius.
But the problem is.
Why is my own body temperature still rising?
Touch again.
Knock!
40 degrees!
"Basic Blood Qi Baby, can you slow down your cultivation? Or just keep this pace?"
"Can't"
"Your Basic Blood Qi Baby thinks you're too weak, it's very easy to die, extremely easy to die, super afraid you'll die, must get stronger quickly"
"Aaah"
Body temperature continues to soar!
