In October, the northern land was covered in snow. The sky was white.
At the end of the wilderness, a big city was built.
The city walls were 100 meters high and tens of meters thick. The top of the city walls was wide enough for two large trucks to run side by side.
The city walls were made of reinforced concrete. Within a few thousand meters of the city walls, there were countless landmines. On the city walls, there were countless metal cannons extending outwards.
Even below the city walls, there was concrete. Hundreds of tons of alloy iron gates sealed the city, forming an almost indestructible fortress. No matter if it was in the sky, on the ground, or underground, it was all armed to the teeth.
The city stretched for hundreds of miles. This was the largest base city in the northern part of China. During the Christian era, this place was called Harbin. After the God's Alteration, it was called Ice City. After the recovery of China, it was developed and built into a bridgehead in the war between humans and mutated beasts.
*****
No. 6 High School was located in the northern part of Ice City. There were thousands of students in the school. Today was the last class for the third year of high school. Next would be the graduation exam.
The teacher in charge of the third class stood on the podium and gave a lecture.
"Today is the last class for all of you. Three days later, the graduation exam will be held. In the morning, you will be tested for cultural studies, and in the afternoon, you will be tested for physical fitness. This day will determine your future. The results will be out then. At that time, the military and various martial arts schools will be recruiting you. Whether you can get the attention of those martial arts schools and your future will depend on this day. As your teacher, I wish you good luck."
After the teacher finished his lecture, he packed up and left the classroom. The school was over.
The students filed out of the classroom, but many of them did not leave the campus immediately. The students still had feelings for the school and wanted to leave their last memories here.
The students who were familiar with each other gathered in twos and threes to talk about their future.
"I am so nervous. The graduation exam is coming. I don't want to go to university. I want to be a martial artist. I am not worried about the cultural studies, but what about the physical fitness tests? My punch is less than 150kg. No martial arts school will be willing to accept me. "
"Although my punch has reached 200kg, which is the entry level for a level two fighter, my punching speed is 4.5 punches per second, which is still not up to standard. Am I going to become a soldier?"
"There should still be room for improvement at 4.5. If I pass the cultural class, as long as my reflexes reach 0.1, I should still be able to enter the dojo. Besides, it's not impossible for me to enter the military. The number of martial artists in the military is no less than those in the dojo."
"That's because the military base is large. Moreover, the true experts all come from dojos. For example, China's number one expert, Lie Feng, his Lie Feng Dojo is the number one dojo in China. Even in my dreams, I want to become a Lie Feng warrior."
"Lie Feng, don't even think about it. Even Changfeng and Tulong aren't places that ordinary people can enter. I think that in our class, only Ouyang Yu, Mengdong, and Lin Zhen have hope. These are the three carriages of our class."
"Ouyang Yu and Mengdong are okay, but I'm afraid Lin Zhen is a bit lacking. I heard that he offended Ouyang Yu because of our school beauty, An Ning. Ouyang Yu said that he won't let Lin Zhen enter any dojo."
"No way, the dojo will listen to Ouyang Yu?" Some students didn't believe it.
"It's hard to say. Ouyang Yu's family is very powerful. His father is an official in the base city. As long as Lin Zhen's results aren't heaven defying, the average dojo will still give him face."
"Is that so? Then Lin Zhen is in danger. His results are only a little above the passing line. Hey! Where's Lin Zhen? How come I don't see him? I remember he was here just now. "
A few boys who were chatting looked left and right, only to see a figure walking far away. It was Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen's black eyes flashed. His pace was very fast.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he walked so fast. Although his body was still very weak, his blood was boiling. His whole body was full of energy.
The heavens favored him. When his lifespan reached its end, a black hole appeared in the universe. Space collapsed and time reversed. His soul returned to Earth on the eve of his high school graduation.
In his previous life, Lin Zhen had wholeheartedly practiced martial arts. He hoped that one day he could change his fate and change the fate of his family. But fate had never truly favored him.
Although his talent wasn't bad, he couldn't be considered a true genius. In addition, he was born a commoner and lacked resources. His martial arts career was incomparably difficult and every step he took wasn't smooth.
Either he didn't have any talent at all and obediently lived as an ordinary person, or he became a genius. For a martial artist like Lin Zhen at the bottom, it was too difficult for him to stand out. He had been crushed by countless geniuses in his life and had become their stepping stones. Although he was smart, his achievements were still limited.
Until the end of the Divine Transformation, Lin Zhen was still alive. But, he had been living a sullen life. His hopes of realizing his worth and taking care of his family had all been shattered. He had lived for so long because he was able to endure. Even though some geniuses had died and he was still alive, this wasn't what he wanted.
After the end of the Divine Transformation, Earth underwent a second great change. Humanity began to leave Earth and migrate to the stars. In the end, he even successfully broke through to the Mortal Realm and reached the Star Realm. He could be considered to have survived in the stars.
But that was only the beginning of another tragedy. Lin Zhen continued to live at the bottom, suppressed by countless geniuses. He would never be able to stand out.
It was only when he failed to break through to the next realm and his lifespan was exhausted and he was on the verge of death that he realized something. In his life, he had always been cautious and cautious. He had always placed safety first. Although he had lived for a long time, he had never been able to take another step forward. This wasn't the path of a martial artist. He had walked the wrong path from the very beginning.
If he had the chance to start over, he would seize every opportunity and use every resource he had to walk down a path to the heavens.
To be a martial artist was to defy the will of the heavens. If one chose to be mediocre, then they shouldn't practice martial arts!
This was Lin Zhen's realization before he died. He believed that he had realized this far too late. Everything was over and he wouldn't have the chance to start over again.
Before he closed his eyes, he saw the curtain of the heavens open. The tides of the heavens reversed, a space-time storm wreaked havoc, and a black hole appeared in the universe!
He felt as if his soul was about to be torn apart by the energy of the black hole. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a high school classroom.
He was still Lin Zhen. He was still alive. He brought with him all of his memories and returned to Earth. He had returned to the age he most wished to return to.
When Lin Zhen walked out of the classroom, he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
But everything around him told him that everything was real. He had returned.
"I haven't seen my family in a long, long time. I'm back! The girl I love, I'm back! "
