Chapter 41 Breaking Through to the Core
More than ten days later.
In a corner of the training ground, Zhou Ye sat next to Wu Jun, comforting his friend: "Jun, don't push yourself too hard. Your complexion isn't right; it'll damage your foundation. Asheng reached the level of internal strength in 10 days; that's because he has amazing talent. So we have to admit that you and I are just ordinary people; there's no need to compare ourselves to those geniuses."
Indeed, after several days of hard work, Huang Sheng successfully broke through the barrier on his first attempt and has now become a martial artist who has entered the realm of "intermediate strength".
However, this result spurred Wu Jun into a frenzy. He's currently practicing non-stop from morning till night, even pushing himself to the point of exhaustion.
So Zhou Ye couldn't stand it anymore and kindly offered some advice.
"I know. Actually... I'm happy for Ah Sheng too." Wu Jun gave a wry smile. "But my family already knows that Ah Sheng has achieved mastery. Although my parents haven't said much, all the relatives are advising them that if he can't achieve mastery within a month, they shouldn't waste money. Sigh—!"
"Do your parents and relatives know about my situation? I had a cold five days ago, and look how proud I am!"
Wu Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter, but his eyes reddened.
There was no other way; the pressure from home was simply too much for young people like Wu Jun to handle. Zhou Ye could only tell jokes to ease his psychological burden.
Just then, Huang stormed over, shouting, "Hey, Ah Jun, you're such a stubborn bastard! Didn't I tell you before? No matter what happens in the future, we'll be brothers for life! Even if I become a master of Ming Jin and An Jin, I'll still take care of you and Ah Ye."
Zhou Ye laughed and said, "Ah Jun, did you hear that? Best brothers for life! What if we become even more powerful than Ah Sheng in the future? We can take care of him, right? I love Ah Sheng's twisted jealous face."
Amidst bursts of laughter, Huang Sheng jokingly scolded. The three friends were laughing and joking together.
Finally, Zhou Ye raised his hands in surrender and said, "My two younger brothers, I admit I misspoke. Could you please let me apologize?"
"You're talking nonsense. You're the younger brother, Ah Ye. Ah Jun and I are your older brothers."
"Alright, alright! The eatery across the street, braised pork belly! A whole big plateful!"
"You're smart to know what's good for you. I'll let you off this time."
"hehe."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Ye decided to give them both some extra nutrition...
Regardless of what the future holds, at least for now, the three friends are still very happy.
Perhaps it was the relief of psychological pressure, or perhaps it was that plate of braised pork that made the difference. On the 25th day, Wu Jun finally broke through the barrier on his first attempt, and he too became a martial artist who had entered the realm of "intermediate strength".
Not to mention that Wu Jun's loud crying at the time drew a lot of good-natured laughter.
As for the other students, Xu Feng broke through to the Jin level in 20 days. Another senior sister did it in 24 days. And a junior brother who joined the martial arts school later broke through to the Jin level in 18 days.
However, apart from that, almost all the other students from the same batch achieved Qi Sensing Perfection and began their first breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, perhaps their good luck had run out, and they all failed in the end. This included Cheng Jianghe, who also failed to break through the barrier after 23 days…
Seeing those disappointed and dejected faces, Zhou Ye couldn't help but sigh: I didn't expect it to be so difficult to break through! Luckily, I have a cheat code! Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get through.
That said, sometimes surprises can come unexpectedly.
On the 42nd day, Zhou Ye's Small Wind and Thunder Stance (Entering the Stage): Not yet a beginner (8/10)
Unexpectedly, the basic movement technique was mastered ahead of schedule - Basic Movement Technique (Underdog): Mastery (1000/1000)
Perfect Reward: Agility +2, Free Attribute Points +1
My Agility has now reached +10, finally achieving a small goal in this area. I feel like I've become a superhuman, with an agility that's reached an inhuman level.
Furthermore, after integrating basic movement techniques into the Cloud Ladder—Cloud Ladder (Third Rank): Proficient (3/100)
It instantly surpassed the beginner level and skyrocketed to the expert level!
Furthermore, Zhou Ye already has an astonishing 9 free attribute points? However, he hasn't figured out how to use them yet. He doesn't have the mind to think about it for now; he'll wait until he enters the Qi realm before considering it...
……
Eight days later.
When Zhou Ye got up, he felt extremely energetic. Perhaps it was because he was able to get into the flow of energy today, which gave him a very pleasant mood?
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Ye thought about it and finally decided to skip the martial arts gym today and just stay home to complete his training in one go. Perhaps it was that eagerness that made him unwilling to waste even the time he would have spent at the gym.
More than an hour later, Zhou Ye maintained his stance, let out a long sigh, and finally opened his eyes with joy—Small Wind and Thunder Stance (Entry-level): Beginner (0/50)
Entry bonus: +1 free attribute point
At the same time, I felt the Qi and blood in my dantian become full and overflowing, and wisps of Qi and blood began to nourish my whole body...

Interestingly, after breaking through to the "Entering the Core" stage, the panel started refreshing. The biggest change was that I had transformed from an ordinary person into someone who had entered the "Entering the Core" stage. It also displayed my expected lifespan of 63 years.
Furthermore, there is already a third basic martial arts skill at max level. However, the reward for reaching max level has been reduced by 1 point, leaving only 3 points.
Regardless, I'm already a master of internal energy cultivation. Hahaha...!
Laughing loudly, hands on hips, head held high! Who else? Quickly call me Master Martial Arts!
However, after laughing for a short while, she felt unbearably hungry. She rushed to the kitchen, ignoring all her cooking skills, and threw a whole bunch of ingredients into the pot, making a big stew. Then she ate it all in one go.
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Ye lazily lay down on the bed. He wasn't going to bother with anything else today; he was going to give himself a peaceful break.
It's been almost a year since I transmigrated to this godforsaken place. I'm finally starting to feel a tiny bit safe!
