Chapter 1 - Start

"How were your physical examination results?"

"So-so."

"What about yours?"

"Let's not even talk about it…"

"My Body Forging results were still not enough to pass. What do I do…"

Within the classroom, many voices could be heard.

Chen Heng looked around and saw many familiar faces. Listening to what they were saying, his mouth twitched as he began to doubt reality.

He had come to this alternate reality for more than half a month, but he still was not used to it.

"The world has changed…" 

Chen Heng shook his head and took out a book from his desk tray.

This book was different from the one he was familiar with. It was a very, very thick book.

The book's cover looked quite simple, and there were a few big words written on it.

Body Forging Basics.

Following this book, Chen Heng took out a few more books from within his desk tray.

Body Forging Theory, Martial Arts History, The Reason For Special Abilities…

There was a pile of books in front of him. In Chen Heng's previous world, he would have read them as fiction novels.

"Hai," Chen Heng could not help but sigh looking at them.

Honestly speaking, he had been quite excited when he had first come to this alternate world.

In one's life, who did not have any regrets?

Returning to when he had been in high school time was perfect; he had many regrets and now had the chance to make up for all of them.

Back then, he had been incredibly excited and filled with ambition. He had wanted to do great things in this world, but reality had given him a heavy blow.

The world had changed.

He had gone to an alternate reality, and time had rewound for him. He remembered all of the people around him from his memories.

His relatives, friends, and other people he was familiar with were still there, and there was nothing different about them.

It was just that the world had changed.

This was a martial arts world.

In this world, martial arts were incredibly real. There were many incredibly famous martial arts grandmasters, and all of them had incredible power.

This was something that his old world did not have.

Not only this, this world's ancient history was filled with martial arts grandmasters. Most big events were connected to these grandmasters.

Even for a normal student like Chen Heng, apart from culture subjects, he also had martial arts classes.

This was a big difference to Chen Heng's world in the past.

He did not know why these changes had happened.

Thinking about the various aspects of this world, Chen Heng felt like sighing for some reason.

Fortunately, his start had been quite good.

In his old world, his results in high school had been pretty good. Even though he was not one of the best students, he was in the top ten in his class.

In this world, not only were his culture subjects quite high, but his martial arts subjects were also good.

His scores in various subjects were exemplary, and he was one of the top students of this high school.

This was something that made him feel better.

However, this was not enough.

'This world's rules are pretty similar to my old world's rules. The university entrance exam is also very important.

'However, compared to my old world, this world's university entrance exam not only tests culture subjects but also martial arts subjects.'

Chen Heng sat in front of his desk and thought by himself, 'The culture subjects aren't a problem. There's still half a year, and if I work hard to study them, I should be able to reach my goal…'

"But the martial arts subjects…"

He frowned.

Even though in his past life in his old world he had already graduated and entered society, he still had his many years of experience. Adding on this world's memories, as long as he worked hard, it would be no problem for him to reach his goals in the culture subjects.

However, he did not know what to do for the martial arts subjects.

Even though one's martial arts subject scores being bad did not affect one entering university, having good results in martial arts subjects gave many advantages.

If possible, Chen Heng wanted to be a master of both pen and sword so that he could set a good foundation for his future and have a good start.

"I hope this thing can help me…" Chen Heng lightly sighed and looked around.

With a thought from him, a row of letters and numbers appeared in front of him.

Current Points: 19.

"19… the same number of days as I've been in this world…"

Looking at these numbers, a thought appeared in Chen Heng's mind.

These numbers had been with him since he had come to this world.

He had been in this world for over half a month, but he still did not know what use it had.

He only knew that as time passed, the number would increase.

However, he still did not know what it could be used for.

Still sitting at his desk, he raised his head and looked at the lectern at the front.

There was a clock hanging on the lectern, and the time it displayed was nearly 12pm.

He stared at the clock, silently watching time continuously pass.

Ding!

A clear sound rang out.

Outside, a bell rang.

"Class is over!" 

Around him, the students cheered and the classroom became lively.

However, Chen Heng did not pay any mind to this. He continued to stare ahead.

As he stared, the number in front of his eyes began to change.

Current Points: 20.

The updated number floated in front of his eyes; it was now 20.

"Nothing else?" 

Looking at this number, Chen Heng felt a bit confused.

He had always been quite curious about this thing he had.

Before, he had always felt that when his points reached 20, something would happen.

Was that a mistaken feeling?

He felt quite confused and could not help but feel a bit disappointed.

At that moment, an interface appeared before his eyes.

At the same time, a hazy feeling appeared.

Chen Heng felt as if he had put on blurred glasses, and an uncomfortable feeling came from ahead.

Chen Heng could not help but shake his head before looking ahead again.

At that moment, there was a new change.

"The conditions have been fulfilled. Would you like to begin the simulation?"

A new line of words appeared before his eyes.

"Simulation?"

Looking at these words, Chen Heng felt quite surprised. As he looked on, the scene before his eyes quickly changed.

The interface in front of him changed and a game-like interface appeared.

There were rows of dots of light on it, but only the first was shining and blinking with light.

"What… is this?"

Looking at this interface, Chen Heng zoned out for a few moments before looking around.

He instinctively looked down at that first shining dot of light.

As his gaze landed on that dot of light, some more words appeared.

"Sorcerer World. Entry Requirements: 20 Points…"

"Would you like to begin the simulation?"

"No."

Chen Heng instinctively refused.

He was still at school, and it would not be convenient for him to try out whatever this was.

He would go home and try it out in a safe environment.

There was no need to be in a rush.

Chen Heng, coming to a realization, thought to himself, "So the entry requirement is 20 Points… no wonder it only activated today."

As for that simulation, he could make a guess about it, but he was unable to confirm it yet.

No matter what kind of guesses he came up with, he would only be sure after trying it out himself.

Thinking to there, he got up and looked around.

In that short amount of time, the surrounding students had already left.

Only a few people still sat at their desks, either reading books or chatting.

Chen Heng packed his things and walked home.

His home was not too far from school, and even if he walked, it only took around ten minutes.

Soon, an old neighborhood could be seen.

Chen Heng walked into it with great familiarity and arrived at his home.

"You're home."

After getting home, a voice came out from the kitchen.

In the kitchen was a middle-aged woman around 40 years old wearing an apron. After hearing the door open, she looked back and saw Chen Heng.

"How were things today?"

"Not too bad, the classes aren't too hard."

Chen Heng nodded and looked at the living room as he asked, "Where's big sis?"

"Her? I don't know, she probably went somewhere to fool around."

Wang Li shook her head before saying, "Get ready to eat."

Chen Heng nodded and did not say much. He silently put his bag down and sat at the table.

Even though he had returned home, he was unable to calm down his emotions. He thought about it and took out a book and read by himself, using this time to calm himself down.

After a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside, and someone walked in.

It was a girl who was relatively tall and had good looks. It was just that she had heavy makeup on and wore high heels.

"Where the hell did you go after skipping school?" Wang Li could not help but ask as he observed her appearance.

"None of your business."

Chen Jing put down her bag and said, "Just do your part and cook lunch."

"You… Ai…" 

Wang Li stood there, and even though she looked angry, in the end, she did not say anything.

Chen Heng looked up and looked at his big sister.

Both parents of this family had been divorced before, and Chen Heng was Wang Li's son. He had changed his surname after his mother had married his stepfather.

As for Chen Jing, she was Chen Heng's stepsister, and there was no blood relation between them.

Compared to Chen Heng, who obediently went to school, Chen Jing seemed like a delinquent. She often skipped school and spent time with all kinds of people.

From what Chen Heng remembered, she would run away from home for a while in two years.

Of course, in this world, he had no idea how things would turn out.

"How are things at school?"

Chen Jing took out a bottle of coca cola from the fridge and sat next to Chen Heng as she looked at him and smiled.

"Not too bad, I did pretty well in these exams; I was fifth in the class," Chen Heng said as he put down his book.

"What about your martial arts subjects?" Chen Jing asked, seeming deeply concerned.

"Hmm, only top 20," Chen Heng thought before replying.

"That's not bad either." Chen Jing nodded before walking to the side and drinking the coca cola in one breath.
