Chapter 9 The First Stone
call……
Shen Bai was lying on the floor, supporting his body with his healthy right hand, and doing push-ups strictly at a frequency of once a second.
He was naked from the waist up, wearing only a pair of shorts. Every time his muscular muscles tensed, sweat would leak out and slide down to the floor along his skin.
In this era when everyone is practicing martial arts, one-handed push-ups are not difficult for high school sophomores.
Shen Bai's test data in the past few months were quite acceptable. His vitality index was 4.60. Among all the sophomore students in Lanhai City No. 6 Middle School, he could be ranked in the middle and upper reaches, and he was a student who would be cared for by the teacher.
The vitality index is 4.60, and the speed of 100 meters is close to 10 seconds. He can deadlift steel twice as heavy as himself. His endurance, explosive ability, cardiopulmonary function, and all aspects are balanced with no obvious weaknesses.
In the technological era long ago, this was already comparable to that of professional athletes, but today, it is nothing more than the level of a high school sophomore who has received an ordinary public high school education and whose grades are above average.
In this era, the war between the old land and the human federation is still going on. Countless mutant beasts roar and hiss, human warriors gallop across the world, mutants hide in the dark, and the Apocalypse is born noble...
The cause of all these changes is the meteorite that fell into the human world in the era of science and technology.
——The First Stone.
After the First Stone fell, the world underwent tremendous changes. Plants and animals mutated and became existences that ordinary thermal weapons could not solve. In that era, humans who had become the masters of the earth were tottering, killed, and eaten.
Civilization was destroyed, order collapsed, and the wisdom and science that mankind was proud of were crushed to pieces by barbaric violence. Even the most basic "recording time" could not be accomplished.
This period of time, which lasted for an unknown number of years, is called the "dark age" by current scholars.
Then on that day, "martial arts training" was studied by the surviving people.
Those great ancestors, like drowning men grasping at straws, rose up to resist with the new weak weapon of "martial arts". From the beginning, they could only chop bricks and tiles, then they broke down rocks to resist, and finally moved mountains and seas, and even During this period, noble-born "enlightened beings" also appeared among the human community.
That era was called the "Era of Rebellion". Humanity developed again and began to resist the mutated beasts and aberrations in the old land. At that time, humans already had well-preserved paper books that could barely record time. From the time when martial arts appeared, Counting from one year to the time when humans reached the place where the "First Stone" fell, the Age of Rebellion lasted for a total of 3,200 years.
After that, it was the "Glorious War Era" when mankind gathered all its strength to counterattack the old land.
The Glorious War lasted for 2,800 years and established the vast territory that is now the Human Federation.
Subsequently, major bases and cities held an alliance at the place where the First Stone fell, signed a treaty, and promised to unite and help each other as human beings to form the "Republican Federation of Human Destiny"!
On that day, the Glorious War ended and the Federal Era began.
"Darkest", "Rebellion", "Glorious War", "Federation", human beings have gone through ups and downs and regained their pride.
Today is the year 1206 of the Federal Calendar.
Humanity's territory is already very large. According to measurements, the actual control area exceeds that of the technological era. However, the fall of the First Stone seems to have fundamentally changed everything in this world. The area of the Old Land is still far larger than that of the Human Federation. Because of its extreme It's dangerous and it's impossible to measure everything.
The old land occupied by mutant beasts and aberrations is like a black mist, coveting the light of the human federation.
——This was a sentence in last year's conscription declaration, and Shen Bai deeply believed it.
Propping his body up again, Shen Bai's body trembled slightly. Like most people, it was difficult to perfectly balance his body with one-handed push-ups.
"Ah, dear, why are you trembling all over?"
With a bang, Miss Black Cat jumped onto Shen Bai's back, laughing lazily.
"Practice...gong!"
Shen Bai reluctantly replied. When a person reaches his limit, a feather can weigh him down, let alone a black cat weighing several kilograms.
"What kind of exercises are you doing? Play with me!"
Miss Black Cat stepped lightly, and Shen Bai fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but he didn't know what the black cat did, and he couldn't even turn around.
"...Sister Mao'er, do you like my posture?"
"This is a bit harsh to say, but considering our relationship... My dear, your imagination is still a bit lacking."
Miss Black Cat jumped down briskly, licking her fur and saying with interest:
"You've been practicing juggling all morning, have you gained anything?"
"This is not a juggling act." Shen Bai curled his lips, turned over, put his uninjured right hand behind his back, and stared at the ceiling:
"This is one of the martial arts courses that is required in all public middle schools in the entire federation. The name is also very domineering. It is called the Seventy-Two Forms of the Rock. You practice the spine first and then open the hips..."
"Haha." Miss Black Cat looked very disdainful:
"This martial arts is a typical martial art that is easy to get started but difficult to master. It is really good to master it, but the prerequisite is to enter the hall and get a glimpse of the true meaning of this martial arts!"
"Your human federal government... promotes this martial arts in public high schools just to screen out ordinary people and geniuses. Does your school have something like [small classes]? This is to provide those who practice public It is used by talented students who are famous for their high school compulsory courses to open a small stove, so as not to delay others."
"Those who are rich and powerful will go to private high schools and pay high tuition fees. They will not learn the Seventy-two Rock Styles at all. They will learn all kinds of combat skills as soon as they start!"
"As for you, you are a typical middle-class figure in [martial arts training]... My dear, you have to know, if all of your human federations are warriors, who will be the doctor? Who will be the research institute? Who will be the worker? ?The number of warriors must be controlled at an appropriate level, otherwise society will collapse."
"I understand all this." Shen Bai scratched his head irritably and said helplessly:
"But the problem now is that those guys came out of nowhere and forced me to forge evidence to "expose" my parents..."
"The military protects the weakest, what are you afraid of?"
"To protect one's shortcomings is to protect one's shortcomings, but sister Mao'er, do you know how many [Warrior] medals our Lanhai City awards every year? Hundreds! This title is sometimes useful, but it cannot be used as a talisman. My parents are not good at running camps. I don’t know any big shots. If something really happened, the most the military can do is help me avenge myself and collect my body..."
Miss Black Cat walked to Shen Bai's head and chuckled:
"Then just promise them, five million..."
"There are some things that you can't do even to death." Shen Bai continued without any hesitation:
"That kind of illegal group is good at using violence to solve problems, but they dare not make things big. If anything happens, they will definitely cover it up, so that the person behind it can be explained, so I think..."
Shen Bai suddenly laughed. He had a gentle and handsome appearance, but his smile seemed a bit shy.
He didn't continue, but Miss Black Cat understood what he meant and laughed too.
There is a tacit evil intention in the laughter of one person and one cat.
"So...you want me to help you?"
"Well, please, Sister Mao'er."
"Have you thought about it?"
"I won't change it."
"Ah……"
Miss Black Cat sniffed:
"Take off the gauze on your left hand."
Shen Bai took it off obediently. This kind of bone fracture would not affect the appearance. The gauze wrapped around it was just for fixation.
"Put your left hand on me... Why are you standing there in a daze? Fuck me!"
"Um... Oh, yes, yes, scratch the back of the spine and the sides, um..."
Miss Black Cat was happy being fucked and shook her body:
"The skills are good, young man, let me help you."
Shen Bai:……
Good guy, so the action just now was of no use? He thought it was some kind of ritual...
Before he could complain, Miss Black Cat put her cat's head in front of Shen Bai's left hand.
An instant later, the beautiful girl with black hair and golden eyes appeared again. Due to her posture, her face was also pressed against Shen Bai's left hand.
Then, stick out your tongue.
Bliss——
In less than half a second, the girl turned into a lazy black cat again.
Shen Bai looked at his left hand. There was no liquid left on it, but he clearly felt that there was some strange "thing" growing vigorously in his left hand.
And a combat skill suddenly appeared in his mind.
