In this world, the various martial arts dojos were similar to the Taekwondo dojos on Earth. They could only be considered as a way to train the body. Although there were stages, other than the higher stages, most of them were just for show. They were not lethal and could only be used to train the body and look good.
To parents and families, these things were just like music and dance. They were part of quality education and could allow children to be multi-talented.
Garon, like all the other students, spread out according to their rankings. In front of him was the same girl from last time.
The girl looked average. Her waist was slender, but her chest was flat. Her short silver hair was slightly red under the setting sun. "Number 15, Doris."
"Number 16, Garon."
The two of them stood facing each other and hugged each other's rankings and names.
"Begin!" Sharmilla shouted.
Garon and Doris ignored the others and focused on each other's movements.
In the Basic Martial Arts, there were no combat moves taught. There was only a simple training stance and explosive force techniques. In Garon's memory, there were no routines. The so-called Martial Arts training was just the two of them fighting based on their previous fighting experience. It was only because of the explosive force techniques in Martial Arts that they appeared to be much stronger. In fact, this was the purpose of the dojos. It was to let the students fight with strength.
Thinking of this, Garon did not say anything else. He pounced and punched Doris's left shoulder. He still did not add any attribute points. He wanted to see how strong his body was.
When his fist was still halfway, Doris dodged to the right and slammed her shoulder into Garon's body.
Both of them were not fast, and Garen was able to react in time. He turned his body sideways and slammed his shoulder into them.
With a bang, the two of them took two steps back at the same time. Then, they continued to charge forward. This time, they were completely entangled in a scuffle. It was the same as the previous times. You punch and I kick. They went back and forth. There were no routines at all.
Previously, Garon had been entangled for a long time. He was exhausted and lost to Doris.
This time, after a while, Garon took advantage of the time when the two of them were catching their breaths to focus on the five attributes below. He stopped at the strength attribute.
Pa!
A soft sound seemed to come from his brain. Garon felt all the muscles in his body suddenly bulge. For a moment, he actually felt that his body had become one size bigger.
Looking at the Strength attribute, the number increased from the original 0.31 to 0.41.
"Only a 0.1 increase? There's actually such an obvious change in the body? "Garon was slightly surprised. He then looked at Doris, who was panting heavily.
Without another word, Garon rushed over again. This time, he stomped on the ground. The moment he exerted his strength, Garon could clearly feel that his speed had increased.
Because his strength had been converted into explosive power, his speed had been increased, and this attack had come abruptly.
Doris did not expect Garon to suddenly speed up. She was prepared to move to the side according to her previous rhythm, but she did not expect it to be too late. When she shifted her center of gravity, Garon slammed into her shoulder.
Pa!
Doris spun half a circle and sat on the ground, unable to get up. She gasped for air with a stunned expression, staring at Garon with eyes full of surprise.
"You actually … phew … still have … so much strength …"
At this time, Garon could clearly feel the changes in his body. While he was happy, he also had some doubts. He did not have time to pay attention to Doris's situation. He turned around and walked to Sharmilla to report his results.
Sharmilla also noticed Garon's sudden outburst. Although Garon's foundation was weak, he was still one of the five people she had noticed. After recording the number, she smiled at Garon and nodded. "Go and rest for a while."
"Okay, Sharmilla will guide you." Garon wiped his sweat with his sleeve, walked to the side and sat on the ground to rest, waiting for the other losers to compete with their rankings. Almost half of the people were the same as him.
Looking at the remaining students sparring under the shade of the tree, Garon carefully felt the changes in his strength.
He raised his thin and weak arm and was surprised to find that there was a faint outline of muscles on it instead of just skin and bones.
"Just my strength alone has such a big change. My strength has increased by at least a third. Among the students, I'm firmly in the top 15. As for the rest, it's probably not enough. But it's much better than before. Just the increase in strength alone has such a big change. What about the other attributes? Agility, Vitality, Intelligence … If the other attributes have such a big increase as well … "
Garon's heart was suddenly filled with anticipation. "Looks like I have to carefully look for the reason for the increase in potential … If the strength, vitality, and speed can continue to increase, I'm afraid I can definitely meet the standards of the dojo. This way, the dojo can also earn a considerable amount of money. "
*****
The increase in strength did not bring any big changes to Garon's school life. He only ate more than before. He did not pay attention to his studies at all. All his energy was focused on studying the attribute symbols.
In order to continue to increase his potential percentage, he started to pay attention to the jewelry worn by the girls. After school, he would go to the jewelry stores in the city and pretend to buy jewelry when he was free.
After visiting all the jewelry stores in the city, Garon only found something that could increase his potential in a second-hand jewelry store. One was a sapphire, and the other was a little red diamond on a red diamond earring.
Garen had only come into contact with these two items, but his potential had increased to 89%.
Unfortunately, he did not come across such special jewelry again.
Garen had also discovered a bit of a related pattern. Unexpectedly, it had to be that kind of old jewelry to have the potential to be absorbed.

"Garon, do you want to go to Jadewave Lake this weekend?"
On the roof, a few boys and girls were standing together, leaning against the railing and looking down, chatting casually.
The morning sun was cold and pale. It did not feel warm when it shone on the body.
Garon stood among the boys, leaning against the railing as well. Kalidor, Fayne, and Jack Reese were with him. The other girls were Ai Fei and two of Fayne's friends.
The seven of them had only become familiar with each other during this week.
"Jadewave Lake? Where is it? "Garon looked at Kalidor and asked.
"It's near the paper mill in the suburbs. I've been there once before, and there are a lot of white swans there. There are also all kinds of birds. Also, you know … "Kalidor winked at the girls who were chatting happily behind him, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"The point is that it's secluded enough …" Jack suddenly interjected. This guy looked quite mature. He had short red hair, and his skin was tanned. He looked very honest. But in reality, he liked to use this appearance to trick girls.
"It's easy to do it …" Garon added. The two of them laughed at the same time.
Kalidor winked at Fayne. "Don't blame me for not taking care of you. It's not just us girls who are going, Fayne and his girl friends from last time are going too."
Garon shook his head. He had met Fayne's other girl friends before.
Finn's family background was good, and the girls he befriended were indeed beautiful. However, the last time they went out to play, those girls were chatting and having fun among themselves. They were in a completely different circle from the poor students on their side. They looked down on them.
Even if Fayne mediated, it did not change anything.
"If it's the same as last time, then forget it," he said casually. "Plus, I don't have any extra money, so I don't want to join in the fun. You guys go have fun by yourselves. " He had gained some muscle recently, and he did not look as sickly as before. Instead, he looked more handsome.
"It's okay, I'll pay for your share. It's not much money," Kalidor said casually as he patted Garon's shoulder. "It's more fun when everyone goes together. What's so fun about you going alone? If we don't go together, we'll drift apart. Don't tell me you don't want to hang out with us? "
"You're paying for me again …" Garon was speechless. "Last time, you paid for me …"
"What's the point of saying this? Let's just say we'll meet at the school gate tomorrow morning. We'll leave together at nine in the morning. How about that?" Kalidor set a time.
"Sure." "I'm fine with it."
The other two did not have any objections. Garon forced Kalidor to agree. Even though he did not want to go, he could not resist Kalidor's enthusiasm. It was as if he would break off their friendship if he did not go, so he had no choice but to agree.
After they set the time, they discussed it with the girls. The girls all had their own things to do, so none of them agreed.
Ai Fei had a red ponytail. She stood on the rooftop, her right hand holding onto her purple miniskirt. The wind was strong where she stood, and the edge of her skirt was blown up. Ai Fei's expression was unnatural as she held onto her skirt, afraid that the wind would blow it up and expose her body. Even though she was wearing pantyhose, it was still unbearable for a girl to have her skirt turned up.
Ai Fei looked at Garon the moment she heard the invitation. Ever since the goat milk incident, the two of them had unexpectedly started to see each other as the same kind of person.
"Garon, you're going too?" she asked unconsciously.
"Can't help it …" Garon smiled bitterly. "Fayne promised me that if I go, he'll let me see his collection of jewelry … You know what I like."
Ai Fei nodded and frowned slightly. She had been paying attention to Garon for a while. This boy was different from the others. He seemed more mature and steady, and his family situation was similar to hers. "So your sister is alone at home?"
"She's going to practice archery. She said she's going to participate in some kind of competition. She's not good at studying, but she's good at other things," Garon explained. He had to go this time. He knew that Fayne's family had an ancient piece of jewelry that could not be bought outside. It was very old, similar to the black pearl he absorbed for the first time.
In order to further increase his attributes, he had to agree.
Due to the increase in his strength last time, he was now firmly ranked 14th in the White Cloud Dojo. After further research on the Potential Absorption Jewels, Garen vaguely realized that this world was not as simple as he thought …
