This stance required the legs to be stretched to the maximum, and the back to be twisted like a poisonous snake, brewing the half-revealed essence, qi, and spirit.
He was like a venomous snake that had just woken up from hibernation. His stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he was extremely aggressive.
In Ninth High School, even the top students in the "rocket class" who could stand for more than ten minutes were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Class 6, on the other hand, was just an ordinary "parallel class".
There was still half an hour before the end of class.
Everyone knew that Meng Chao was injured in his second year of high school and stayed in the hospital for a few months.
After he was discharged from the hospital, he let go of himself. He had no intention of taking the university entrance exam, and his basic "Nine Major Stances" were nothing out of the ordinary.
After standing in the Dragon Hibernation Stance for half an hour, he prepared to crawl home after school.
Quite a number of students grieved for him, and they thought that Demon Yan was really ruthless.
Zuo Haoran crossed his arms and sneered as he sat down.
Meng Chao obediently stood in the corner.
"Dragon Hibernation Stance seems to be a very simple stance technique. It has been eliminated in Nightmare for a long time. How do I stand?"
Meng Chao recalled.
His mind was still a little muddled, and he couldn't differentiate between dream and reality.
"Stop acting tough and beg for mercy!"
Everyone thought that Meng Chao did not dare to stand in the Dragon Hibernation Stance, so they could not bear to do so and reminded him softly.
"The black sheep has only himself to blame!"
Zuo Haoran muttered to himself. His voice was loud enough for the people around him to hear.
Before his voice faded away, Meng Chao moved.
Whoosh!
His forelegs were arched, and his hind legs were taut. His arms were stretched out like a snake, and his spine was like a flood dragon that had just awakened from the abyss and was ready to strike in the spring thunder.
Meng Chao's mind surged like a tidal wave, and he could not control himself at all.
"This —"
The students were all dumbfounded.
He felt as if Meng Chao had been reborn and had become a brand new person.
The rhythm of his muscles, bones, and limbs was filled with calmness and confidence. Even though he was just casually standing there, he did not feel the awkwardness of a high school student at all.
The posture was not standard, but it was more beautiful than the average Dragon Hibernation Stance.
Even his fingertips were trembling slightly, exuding an indistinct murderous aura.
"What the heck? Is Meng Chao's Dragon Hibernation Stance that strong?"
"She's even better than the class leader!"
"It's all an illusion. You can't fool me. He's using his life to show off. Just watch, he'll definitely fall apart in a minute!"
One minute passed.
Meng Chao was at ease.
It was as if he could stand there until the evening self-study session.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said apologetically, "Teacher Yan, is there anything else? Is it because I'm not standing up to the standard? I'm really sorry. I haven't practiced for a while, so my movements aren't perfect. I'll definitely correct them when I get back. Please forgive me. "
"…"
Yan Dongxing wanted to say something but hesitated. His dark face changed a few times, but in the end, he returned to the podium without saying a word.
The students cursed in their hearts.
Meng Chao, you bastard! You're speaking like a human. If your Hidden Dragon isn't good enough, then what are we? Earthworms?
Was it an illusion?
Everyone felt that after Meng Chao woke up, his stance and his ability to act cool had increased.
All sorts of gazes and pressure returned to Zuo Haoran.
The class rep looked as if he had just been slapped in the face.
His face was a little awkward, but a ferocious look flashed in his eyes.
"Class, let's continue."
Yan Dongxing knocked on the blackboard. "One Hundred Saber Techniques and Thunder Rapier are the two most important cold weapon techniques in high school. The final question of the national college examination last year was about Thunder Rapier. This year, there's a high possibility that it will be One Hundred Saber Techniques. Everyone, listen to my analysis carefully. There are seven ways to advance your saber to cut through the gaps in a monster's shell."
Yan Dongxing was a saber master and an ace teacher.
It was said that he had a senior brother who was a peerless fighter in the group that set the questions for the national college examination.
Over the past three years, Yan Dongxing had been teaching the third year of high school, and his accuracy in predicting the questions was very high.
When they saw their teacher bring out his ultimate skill, everyone's spirits lifted, and they forgot about Meng Chao.
Meng Chao stood in his Dragon Hibernation Stance and watched the exquisite and peerless secrets of the saber technique. His gaze became a little unfocused.
'It's too clumsy. It's practically a saber technique full of flaws.'
He mumbled in his heart as if he was possessed. 'There are at least nine openings in the first move, Head-On Wind Cleave. If I use this saber technique to fight against a true elite from the Other World, I can guarantee that I'll die in the first second.
'But this isn't Demon Yan's problem.
'Before I took my national college examination, this One Hundred Saber Techniques was just the 1.0 version, which had just been developed.
'Before Dragon City was destroyed, it absorbed a lot of the essence from Blood Spirit's dual saber style and Frost Giant's Greatsword style. After it went through a lot of refinement, the One Hundred Saber Techniques was upgraded to version 7.3.5.
'I used the Ultimate Version of One Hundred Saber Techniques to evaluate One Hundred Saber Techniques 1.0, so I naturally thought that it was full of flaws.
"Wait, what the hell is a Blood Spirit? What the hell is a Frost Giant? Why are these weird things appearing in my head?"
Meng Chao's expression was complicated.
He could no longer lie to himself and say that he had just been daydreaming.
This was the legendary rebirth, right?
Being reborn was nothing.
Even though Meng Chao was just a normal high school student, he was someone who had read online novels before.
Besides, he grew up in Dragon City.
More than fifty years ago, Dragon City had mysteriously transmigrated from Earth to the Other World.
Since then, a lot of strange and unbelievable things had happened in the city.
Three-year-old children awakened to supernatural abilities, old women in their eighties practiced ancient martial arts, housewives tore apart zombies with their hands, and white-collar workers fought against monsters after work. These were all part of the daily lives of Dragon Citizens.
Since transmigration had become reality, rebirth had its own profound scientific reasoning, and Meng Chao could accept it.
However, based on the scenes that flashed in the depths of his mind …
His future and that of Dragon City was pretty tragic.
The Earthlings who transmigrated thought that they understood the Other World.
They did not expect that the Other World would be so big and strong that it far surpassed the limits of Earthlings' imagination.
Up to this day, they had only wandered around the savage lands of the Other World. They had never left the newbie village.
But outside the newbie village …
Meng Chao felt as if he had just woken up from a hangover. His memories from his previous life were fragmented, and they were blurry. He did not remember what the creatures of the Other World who surrounded Dragon City looked like.
He only remembered that the Other World had a true civilization, all sorts of powerful fighters, monsters, and all sorts of animals.
Compared to these animals, the monster crisis they faced paled in comparison.
Dragon City lifted the banner of Earth's civilization and marched into the mysterious Other World. They fought, fought, and struggled.
They were famous for a time, and they were known as the Extraordinary Disaster.
In the end, they were alone against many, and it was difficult for them to escape.
Meng Chao closed his eyes, and he felt as if he could see one million purple shooting stars exploding above Dragon City.
The flames of destruction were even more dazzling than fireworks.
This incredibly vivid scene seemed to have happened in an instant, and it burned into the depths of his heart from his retina.
'Is this … the ending?'
Meng Chao asked his seventeen-year-old self.
"F * ck you, I don't believe it. This is just a ridiculous nightmare!"
He opened his eyes swiftly.
'Dragon City won't die!
'I won't be mediocre for the rest of my life as a third-class fighter either!
'Since I've returned from the nightmare, I will definitely change the future. I will make those indescribable extraordinary beings of the Other World open their eyes and see just what the Extraordinary Disaster is!'
The seventeen-year-old Meng Chao had not been beaten up by society yet.
He even treated his life as his motto, which was full of shameless and delusional statements like "My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of the heavens. I don't believe in fate, so I will go against the heavens and change my fate."
He gritted his teeth and became determined.
The lightning-like flames in the depths of his eyes grew brighter, and he felt a slight sting of pain.
'What's this?' Meng Chao was surprised.
A red light that looked like fire and lightning floated at the top left corner of his field of vision. It was as elusive as a flying mosquito.
No one else should be able to see it, or else they would have screamed a long time ago if Kindling floated around the classroom.
And it looked a little familiar.
At the end of his nightmare, when Dragon City was destroyed, he seemed to have seen Kindling gush out of the core of the city.
Now, Kindling accompanied Meng Chao back to his youth.
Then, it shattered with a bang and turned into rows of profound and complicated runic symbols.
Hundreds of runic symbols jumped about madly, and from the strange words that looked like earthworms, they turned into even stranger words. They looked like messages that came from the depths of the universe above the stars.
After changing dozens of times, the messages were translated into Earth's language.
[The host has passed the mind and willpower test.
[Kindling has been bound. The host's identity has been verified as the Fire Relayer, Meng Chao.
[Congratulations on becoming the Fire Relayer of civilization. I hope that you will do your best to spread the flames of civilization. Initial contribution points reward: 10000.
[Detected that the Fire Relayer has old internal injuries. You are not skilled in any basic skills. Will you automatically distribute your initial contribution points so that you will be in your best condition?]
'Kindling? Fire Relayer? Contribution points? Contribution points reward? Gift bag of rebirth? '
Meng Chao was confused, but he nodded instinctively.
[Used 1,000 contribution points in exchange for one Initial Stage Healing Skill. Healing progress: 10%.
[Used 1,010 contribution points in exchange for one Initial Stage Healing Skill. Healing progress: 19%.
[Used 1,025 contribution points in exchange for one Initial Stage Healing Skill. Healing progress: 1%.
A series of notifications flashed in Meng Chao's field of vision.
At the same time, warmth flowed into his body like a stream. It was like the first bud of a plant that bloomed in spring. It was the most gentle caress.
'My injuries! I made a mistake in my cultivation last year, and the doctors could do nothing about it. But now, they're healing? I can sense that my shattered tendons and nerves have all been reconnected! '
Meng Chao's eyes went wide. He felt so good that he wanted to sing.
Soon, after the series of notifications about healing, a brand new notification popped up.
[Used 3,500 contribution points in exchange for the basic force execution technique, Reckless Bull Technique. Increased it to Specialist Level.]
'This is …'
All sorts of details rose in Meng Chao's mind.
When Reckless Bull Technique was activated, all his muscles and blood vessels would twist, his blood and nerve electricity would flow through his acupressure points, the strength of his bones, ergonomics, and other complicated calculations, as well as all sorts of scientific cultivation methods.
There were also scenes of him practicing Reckless Bull Technique hard in his nightmares.
The originally blurry memories of his previous life shone brightly once more. They turned into a wave of information that surged into his motor nerves and brain cells, causing him to instantly become an expert in Reckless Bull Technique.
With one thought, Meng Chao felt as if he could control each muscle at will and squeeze out all his strength to deliver an incredibly strong punch.
'This feels great! So, the legendary third-class fighters are all this strong?'
Just when he was feeling so good that he wanted it, the pleasure came to an abrupt end.
'Don't stop! I'm having fun!'
A notification popped up in front of his eyes.
[Basic skills are divided into five levels: Normal, Specialist, Master, Perfect, and Ultimate. When your Skillfulness reaches 100%, you can level up. Skillfulness can be accumulated through your usual fights and cultivation. You can also use contribution points to exchange for it.]
'Then I'll exchange for it as hard as I can. Do I look like someone who cares about a few contribution points?'
[The Fire Relayer's current healing progress is at 62%. If you want to continue exchanging for Initial Stage Healing Skill, you will need 1,150 contribution points.]
[Skillfulness for Specialist Reckless Bull Technique is at 22%. If you want to increase it to Master Level, you will need 1,756 contribution points.]
[You currently have 3 contribution points left. You cannot exchange for them. Please accumulate contribution points.]
'I … I only have 10000 contribution points. Am I going to spend them so easily? Then, you should increase it to Master Level first, and I'll write an IOU, alright?'
[No.]
'Then, you have to tell me how I should earn contribution points, right?'
