Apart
No, wait. I need to find the Book of Enlightenment first.
Reaching these thoughts in his head, Lu Zhou's conclusion for further solidifying his measures for his pool of spiritual energy was using the Book of Enlightenment.
Although no number of points was showing up after he cast the Fire Fist a thousand times, the possibility of his almost limitless supply of spirit energy was still in the process of being able to get acknowledged.
One of the most common types of player way of doing things was to get the necessary items to advance their class to become a Magus Apprentice.
With it, he can become an official Magus Apprentice. But...
" This is another world, where I can find a shop for this kind of items? "
Sighed again.
Lu Zhou called his status.

_________
Iron Fist raised and Throwing was increased to 50%... these two...
Raising his hand again the deep color of black on his knuckle was gone, and his palm was smooth.
The callus was gone? This...
Years of practicing martial arts at the Cloud Step City was for his body to be able to suit an average build for Martial Pathways. Coupled with the throwing skill Lu Zhou had been practicing for his boredom and energy control, the records for his hard work were gone...
No! it's...
Through his breathing, he felt his blood circulate better, and the parts of his body that could not be toughened before had also started to become stronger.
Hahaha.
" I will just need a few more days to break through to the 2nd rank of the Martial Path."
Lu Zhou felt that his increase was very obvious. He has been unconsciously training his technique with his Throwing skill through the continuous casting of the Fire Fist.
With this speed.....
" What happened if I train close combat and the Fire Fist combined? "
With such thought emerged on his head, Lu Zhou smiled and began to take motions.
------------
He practiced until night and then wiped his sweat and headed back towards his home.
After closing the door, he still was thinking about the change in his body after training both close combats and Fire Fist at the same time.
" Sick...."
Coming through from the bathroom, Lu Zhou takes his step towards the kitchen.
Topless and only wearing his pants, Lu Zhou takes a bite of the hot white rice.
But his mind was still on the words of sick.
" Sick...this was supposed to be lone and awful difficult cultivation..."
He called his status for the third time after washing his sweat inside the bathroom.

Looking at the deep white words on the transparent panel, Lu Zhou had exciting faces.
" A pity, If I had the camouflage skill, this Magic will become the most important thing for my idea to be able to realize. "
Lu Zhou was imagining the same thing in his previous ecstasy.
What happened when you're facing an opponent who can kill you in long-range and invisible at the same time?
His Fire Fist attack range has been upgraded from 10 meters to 85 meters. With this, no matter how fast you are, with the activation of Throwing skill, your opponent will become a living target.
Again with his stupidity, Lu Zhou was underestimating the strength of his peers.
Even at night, when he laying on the bed, he could still imagine the shocked faces of the Lu sect disciples.
The darkness of night had almost zero influence on Lu Zhou. His thoughts and dream were less colorful than his reality.
Under this confidence, Lu Zhou fell asleep.
_____
Morning.
The fifth day after transmigrated to this world.
As always, Lu Zhou woke up, extended his 4 limbs, and went to practice in the small courtyard.
The crater on his side was deep enough to be able to fit an elephant. But with his increase in proficiency in the Throwing skill and the Level 8 Fire Fist, his control over his damage was almost negligible.
Thank God, this was not a game...if not. The consequences of his action will be much worse.
This time, he will not be going to the martial fields, quickly, he began to practice the 50 formations of the Iron Fists.
Hu Hu Hu Hu...Ah! Ah! Ah!
The first carried the wind and now contained extreme power.
As soon as Lu Zhou threw a few punches, he felt that something was wrong.
No...a deviation?
Frowning, and between his breath, his blood was raging and gave off an aura of power, every punch contained at least 500-600 pounds of force.
" What!"
Lu Zhou was shocked, and his two first burned in 2 patches of red light.
Shoosh!---
Boom!
One of the punches hit the boulder in front of him, and a small portion of it, as big as a small coffee table, was demolished.
Lu Zhou's heart jumped.
To prove his thoughts, he took a deep breath and put all of his power into one stomp.
Boom!
The ground shook and the layers of earth crumbled, leaving Lu Zhou's footprint an inch deep into the ground.
His expression turned happy, then one of his palms glowing in red
Peg!
The boulder in front of him that was at least 100 kg's, had its half-destroyed to pieces.
This kind of power wasn't something that the 1st rank of the martial path could do.
" 2nd rank of the martial path...I've broken through to the 2nd rank of the martial path!"
Lu Zhou closed his eyes and began to feel the power coursing through his body.
He first thought that breaking through to the 2nd rank would at least take a few days, but didn't realize that.
I broke through just after one night"s sleep?
No, that's doesn't seem right.
He recalls that the cultivations don't work that way. Furthermore, his talents were ordinary, if not then he will be training in the genius regions.
" Status"

Indeed his cultivation has been updated to 2nd rank by the system, and his technique of the Iron Fist, become Initial Rank.
Hmm?
That's why I have this red fist instead of a normal skin tone?
Activation of the Fire Fist will make his knuckle in deep black, but the Iron Fist was slightly in blushing aspect.
I need to go to the Martial Art Library...
" And after breaking through to the 2nd rank of the Martial Path, I won't be at the bottom anymore, and the eligibility for the Family Sparring Contest will be open for me"
Lu Zhou was a bit excited. This was the previous host's dream. Now that it's become his body, he will surely help.
The martial path had 9 ranks, and every rank was harder to achieve than the previous one, similar to a pyramid.
Everyone knew that the first 3 ranks were known as the " Stability Ranks," they were also known as Martial Apprentice!
Martial apprentices used force to strengthen their bodies to provide a strong foundation for later realms.
Although Martial Apprentice was relatively low, as it was only considered to have entered the gateway of Martial Arts, to cultivate to the peak of the 3rd rank was not to be looked down upon as one would have at least 900 pounds of strength, those born with better talent could even have over 1000 pounds of strength. They could rip apart tigers and destroy bears with their bare hands.
Hmm, indeed. The different names for Unique Class. At least they were born with it...
" So lucky...that Lu Peng doesn't use his strength to beat this body thoroughly....a hundred of a kilogram in strength? Even level 1 First Aid Treatment will be useless."
Shaking his head for the previous host's stupidity for provoking the elder grandson. Lu Zhou calmed down his passion for the tenth time.
Let's see...according to my memories
The 4th to 6th rank of the Martial Path was known as Martial Artists. After entering this realm, the Martial Artist wouldn't just have a strong body and blood. They could also strengthen their organs and use the power of " Inner Strength", which surpassed that of pure muscle attacks.
Once they reached Martial Artist, they would leave the realms of prosaic people and entered a higher level.
Inner Strength? Qi? ain't that convenient?
" What's the difference between the two? Spirit Energy was used in the game for casting the magic, Internal Energy was the cultivated energy within a Martial Artist's body. Utilizing it, a martial artist can accomplish superhuman feats of speed, agility, strength, endurance, ...wait a minute, wasn't that same as the Magus Apprentice?"
The shocking information about the same signature of both energies shocked Lu Zhou.
If they both had the same characteristics, then what happened if spirit energy was used in tampering with the organs?
This needs more information, Ohh!
Think about it, he has the status to enter the Martial Arts Library now that he successfully breakthrough to the 2nd rank.
The sects " Martial Arts Library contained many different martial arts skills.
Finish in his thoughts, Lu Zhou immediately went towards the Martial Arts Library.
--------
Halfway towards the Library, Lu Zhou had a frowning expression on his face.
Although he has not filled his stomach with a morning breakfast, he felt something was wrong. A papilated beating to his heart was inevitable when he saw two couples before him.
And his body turned stiff.
What is going on?
From his side came a boy and girl whose ages weren't very old from him.
The male was in purple clothes, had thick eyebrows, a straight tall back, and sharpness in his eyes. His hair was in the deep color of purple.
And from the way, he's showing off his aura of the peak of 3rd rank, it's was confirmed he was one of the outstanding outer sect disciples.
" He is the sect 2nd ranking disciples of the outer disciples " Lu Yijian"!
Also, because of the pressure, he emitted, the people around them exclaimed, with faces full of worry and fear.
The one that came with Lu Yijian was a young woman wearing white, whose age was the same as Lu Zhou, around 12 or 14, she had a clear beautiful face.
" Lu Xue. "
Lu Zhou mumbled her name. One of the 5 candidates chosen to be able to enter the Lu Family main clan.
Also, the previous Lu Zhou's...crush.
Back at the previous gathering for the 5 of them, Lu Zhou was in deep...love with her. Even though she agrees and he is also the one who first confronted her...However, after they entered the Lu sect they became distant from one another, they were almost stranger now.
After Lu Xue entered the Lu sect, using her beauty, she quickly became good friends with Lu Yijian, who was ranked 2nd of the outer disciples, and then, by using her connections, she achieved the 2nd of the martial path.
" Brother Zhou! "
At this moment he heard his name was called.
" Ok, but just do not take too long."
And the boy beside her said to Lu Xue.
Seeing Lu Xue nodded his head in obedience. Something in his heart broke about that scene.
Urg...no, this is not me...
Lu Xue walked in front of Lu Zhou and, in a complex manner, and with a little sigh, said, " Brother Zhou, you have finally broken through to the 2nd rank. However, Xue'er is going to give you some advice, do not be too stubborn. After entering the sect, I have realized that the emotions we started are...unique, but also unnecessary in this place."
You do have some unique words too...
Lu Zhou wants to express his thoughts but deemed it was useless.
Looking at the indifferent expression on Lu Zhou's face, Lu Xue had a bit of anger, but she still bit her teeth and said, " Brother Zhou, Xue'er is going to advise you one more time, go to brother Yijian and pledge yourself to him. With his help, only then will you merge with the main lu sect, that way you can avoid problems..."
What?
Lu Zhou glance at the stoic face of the 2nd rank disciples. He had a cold aura of arrogance.
Is he had higher status than the grandson of the elder?
But...
" No, thanks for your time. Farewell".
With that said, Lu Zhou cupped his fist toward the person who had his nostril high, and leaves.
Lu Xue seems to want to say a word, but
Seeing Lu Zhou's back, she stopped and walk back to Lu Yijian's side and murmured something.
" Hmmph! He doesn't know his place! this useless garbage..."
Afterward, Lu Zhou heard Lu Yijian said in a cold voice.
" Garbage? "
He turned his head to see the disdain in Lu Yijian's face.
" I've heard that you're the genius of the Cloud Step City? However, at the Lu sect, you're just a little bug! not even a day, and you already provoking the elder grandson. If we meet at the Family Sparing Contest...you better pray, you do not need an excuse to go back to where you came from."
" Farewell "
Lu Zhou said in modesty.
" This trash! "
Humiliated by Lu Zhou's reaction. Lu Yijian almost conjures his formations. But stopped by the hand that touches his robe.
As Lu Xue's eyesight passed by Lu Zhou, it flashed ever so slightly.
At this point, she felt a strange feeling from Lu Zhou. A feeling that she couldn't understand.
" He sure thinks he's good."
Touching Lu Xue's hand, Lu Yijian snorted.
He didn't know that such a punny character had the guts to ignore him!
At the sect outer disciples, those that had entered the 3rd rank of the martial path didn't exceed 50 people, and to rank 2nd out of these, it could be seen that he had some great skills up his sleeve.
Lu Xue gave off a deep sigh in her heart, the difference between two people in controlling their emotions was a world apart.
But she has to. The status between both of them was a world apart too. One is extraordinary and the other was the country bumpkin.
