Chapter 1 Lin Qi (Seeking follow-up reading)

In the year 2045 of the martial arts calendar, Cang Province, Tianhai City.

It was September, the hottest month of the year, and the whole city was shrouded in heat.

Rongshan Community, Building 4, Room 301

5:30
“Drip drip drip!”

Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, sat up instantly, and turned off the shrill cell phone alarm on the bedside table.

The alarm clock was gone, leaving only the whirring blue electric fan and the air filled with stuffy heat.

At first glance, this is a narrow bedroom.

The bed was a bunk bed with luggage of all sizes piled on the upper bunk. Next to the bed was an old brown wooden table.

The walls were covered with posters, especially the largest one, which showed a man with a blurred face, a tall body, and surrounded by golden flames.

Under his feet was a huge and ferocious black dragon-shaped beast.

The terrifying aura seemed to burst out of the screen.

The poster has a line of large characters printed in a flamboyant style:

[Efforts are the ladder to becoming strong——Chidi·The Strongest in the World]

Apart from this, there is almost no other superfluous furniture, it is simple and empty.

There is a vacant space in the middle of the room which is less than 15 square meters, and the floor is covered with deep footprints of time.

Lynch stood up and put on his worn-out short-sleeved school uniform.

Open the door and go into the small bathroom to wash up.

“Swish!”

Go to the toilet, brush your teeth, and wash your face all in one go, washing away all the dirt and leaving you feeling refreshed.

Lynch looked at himself in the mirror. He was 75 meters tall, with a lean body, three-dimensional and handsome facial features, bright eyes full of masculinity, and a cold look between his brows.

After leaving the bathroom, there was a burly shirtless man sitting on the sofa in the living room. The sofa was worn and faded.

You can see that the man’s upper body is covered with various scars and marks.

His left arm was empty, and he held a flesh-colored mechanical prosthesis in his right hand and put it on carefully.

“Kaka~”

After two or three times, the five fingers of the prosthesis began to move stiffly, just like a normal arm.

“Morning, Xiaoqi!”

The burly man smiled when he saw Lynch. He had a strong face and every inch of his skin showed traces of vicissitudes of life.

“Morning, Dad!”

Lynch nodded!

The burly man turned and walked into the kitchen, saying as he worked:
“I went to the hospital to pick up your mother today. She just had surgery and should have stayed in the hospital for a while.”

“She was afraid of spending too much money and refused to do so.”

“Today is the beginning of your senior year of high school, so work hard on your martial arts.”

“Do you still have enough money on you?”

Lin Zhen kept on talking, his hands moving without slowing down, lighting the fire, laying eggs, heating up the pre-made steamed buns…

【Balance: 66.6】

“I still have enough money…”

Lynch glanced at the balance on his phone and said indifferently, then took out a pack of black coffee from the box in the corner, poured it into the glacier cup, and poured in cold water.

After stirring it evenly, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste filled his mouth and he sobered up.

After a while, Lin Zhen came out with a plate full of meat buns, fried eggs, and steamed buns.

After quickly finishing his meal, Lynch returned to his room, changed his clothes, put on his black sneakers whose soles were almost worn out, and took his backpack.

“Dad, go away.”

“it is good!”

Lin Zhen’s resolute voice came from the kitchen, followed by another burst of busyness.

……

three minutes later
After leaving the community, Lynch rode his antique bicycle on the spacious streets.

“Whoo~”

Facing the morning breeze, a clear female voice came from the black Bluetooth headset:
“Martial Arts Calendar 1999!”

“That year, horrific natural disasters broke out one after another around the world: tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes…”

“It has caused serious loss of life and economic losses to countries around the world.”

“At first, people from all over the world thought it was just an ordinary disaster.”

“When people thought the disaster was over, the real disaster came.”

“Giant black cracks appeared one after another all over the world, and countless terrifying monsters rushed out from them, destroying everything.”

“Greedily devouring all life.”

“They are walking disasters, so their name is – disaster beasts!”

“They have bodies as big as mountains, hard skin, sharp claws, and sharp teeth. They can easily tear apart steel buildings and crush humans.” “The bustling streets are like rice seedlings in the fields. They are plowed clean and everything becomes ruins.”

“The war began. Facing the terrifying beasts, humans had no choice but to mobilize all their weapons. Countries were transformed into war machines in the beast tide.”

“Faced with the coming of the disaster beasts, humans were defeated step by step. Countless soldiers died in the war, and ordinary people were displaced.”

“When the cracks appeared, humans discovered that their physical fitness had greatly improved. Some people even awakened special abilities, becoming like superhumans.”

“Faced with the endless number of disaster beasts, the ancient martial arts have regained new vitality.”

“The war between humans and disaster beasts has begun…”

There are busy streets, tall buildings and shops on the roadside, equipped with electronic screens broadcasting the latest news about disaster beasts.

Lynch listened silently to the history class audio.

He had heard this history countless times and had memorized it by heart.

“I’ve been in this world for 17 years!”

Lynch was a little dazed.

He, Lin Qi, is a time traveler.

Blue Planet, a parallel world very similar to Earth.

In his previous life, he was just a social worker. After working overtime for a month, he finally died suddenly.

When I opened my eyes again, a baby was born into this world.

Before 1999, this world was almost exactly the same as Earth, but after that year, earth-shaking changes took place.

It directly transformed from the ordinary human world into the extraordinary world of martial arts.

As a senior reader to a certain extent, Lynch adapted to this world very quickly.

Of course, as a time traveler, he also has a golden finger.

Lynch was thinking, and in the mysterious area of ​​his mind, a broken golden banner emerged from the endless darkness.

The banner was covered with cracks, as if it had been through a great battle and only a part of it remained.

In his consciousness, it was dark and silent, without any movement, like a rag.

It was not until half a year ago that it shook for a moment and emitted a ray of golden light.

Thinking of this, there seemed to be a strange light flashing in Lynch’s vision. It was a golden light curtain that only he could see.

【Name: Lin Qi (17)】

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Template: None (99.8%)]

[Vitality value: 5.2]

[Kung Fu: Hunyuan Zhuang (great success), Tiger Form Fist (minor success), Basic Spear Technique (minor success)]

[Boxing: Level 80 %]

[Gun Skill: Level 60 %]

[Agility: Level 57 %]

……

This is the panel given by the Golden Remnant Banner, which allows him to clearly see his progress in martial arts.

Looking at the data on the panel, Lynch sighed.

He thought it would be the legendary deep blue, and he only needed to add a little to become stronger.

He was even mentally prepared to take off.

The result disappointed him, the function of the panel was very simple, it could only check his various data and let him have a clear understanding of his martial arts.

But he quickly adapted and gave up his fantasy.

Being able to check your progress at any time and the feeling of being able to see your progress can give you the motivation to work harder.

This function alone makes him better than countless others.

After opening the panel for half a year, his martial arts skills have improved greatly. What else is there for him to be dissatisfied with?

As a senior high school student, war and disaster beasts are too far away from him, they are things of the future.

Now he just wants to practice martial arts well, get into a better martial arts university, and earn enough money to improve his family’s life.

Thinking of this, Lynch’s eyes fell on a line of data again.

[Template: None (99.8%)]

Lynch did not introduce this “template” and no one knew its specific functions, but he had some vague guesses.

After training every day, he would watch the percentage progress bar go up a little bit.

The harder you practice, the more and faster you will improve.

After half a year, the progress bar is almost reaching 100%.

According to the progress, he will know what this thing is today.

He had a hunch that the template was very important to him and was the key to his future path in martial arts.
