Nanjiang Martial Arts University.
A leisurely figure lounged on a recliner, enjoying the sun’s warmth.
Today was Ning An’s thirtieth birthday.
He had given himself a day off!
Thirty years ago, he had been reborn into this world.
He originally thought he could wreak havoc like other transmigrators.
Turns out, he was wrong!
This was a dangerous world. It had started three hundred years ago.
Spiritual energy had revived, causing plants and animals to mutate, making human survival precarious.
Then martial arts began to rise. Humans fought back by cultivating martial arts to reach the highest peaks.
However, one hundred years ago, alien races established spatial portals to invade.
Human pioneers, with their unyielding souls and mortal bodies, blocked these portals.
Gradually, these portal spaces formed into small battlefields.
They were known as the Ten Thousand Races Battlefields by many.
And near every battlefield portal, a martial arts university was established.
It served as a place for those who could hold the line, a last defense, in a sense.
The Nanjiang Ten Thousand Races Battlefield had opened twenty years ago.
This meant the Nanjiang Martial Arts University was established twenty years ago as well.
Amongst the Divine Xia Federation, it was one of the later ones to be built.
However, it was because of this factor that Ning An could enter the martial arts university with his mediocre aptitude.
“Martial arts are initially divided into nine ranks, and above the ninth rank are even the Marquis, King, and other realms!”
“I started cultivating at the age of ten, and now, after twenty years, I’m merely at the peak of the second rank.”
“Though I had thought about accumulating strength for a breakthrough, now I’ve come to terms with it.”
“If you’re not destined to be a genius, don’t have a genius complex.”
Ning An felt he should just lie down and accept his fate!
With his aptitude, this would continue until he reached the fourth or fifth rank at most.
Not the best, but not the worst!
Though he was not as strong as some individuals, he was already above most people.
In this era of spiritual energy revival, for many it was a sad reality.
Perhaps, out of ten thousand people, not one would have the aptitude for martial arts cultivation.
Take his original birthplace, the Southwest Qing Shan Base, for instance.
Back then, amongst the ten thousand college entrance examinees from his year, only a dozen or so got into the martial arts university.
The rest either joined mercenary teams or martial arts schools.
Or they engaged in ordinary jobs!
Essentially, it was incredibly difficult to become a martial artist.
Not to mention progressing further on the path of martial arts cultivation.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice echoed in Ning An’s mind.
“Ding!”
“Superpower Refresh System online.”
“Monthly limited-time loading of one superpower.”
.
This made Ning An rather uneasy.
It seemed his golden finger had arrived!?
As a transmigrator, Ning An naturally couldn’t help but fantasize about having a golden finger.
However, for thirty years, there had been no sign of it.
He had long given up hope!
He hadn’t expected it to come on his thirtieth birthday.
“System, I’ve waited for you so long.”
“If I hadn’t been so lazy, I might not have even gotten to meet you.”
At this moment, Ning An desperately wanted to say these words.
After a surge of excitement, Ning An quickly calmed down.
His consciousness began to examine this Superpower Refresh System.
Soon, a look of understanding appeared on Ning An’s face.
As it turned out, this Superpower Refresh System!
It provided one ability per month, limited in time.
What kind of ability it would be, however, would need to be drawn.
There was one draw for the newbie welcome package, and every subsequent draw would require at least one hundred thousand units of spirit stones.
The more spirit stones invested, the better the chance of obtaining a powerful superpower.
This wasn’t a small sum!
In this high-martial world, spirit stones served as currency.
At least, there was a free one to start with!
Without hesitation, Ning An immediately initiated the draw for the first ability.
A virtual spinning wheel, only visible to Ning An, appeared before him.
He could vaguely see numerous options!
The more he looked, the more he felt like there were endless options.
It seemed to be merely a spinning wheel, but it held countless possibilities.
“Draw!”
Ning An didn’t hesitate for long.
Regardless of how many options there were, he could only draw one.
The wheel spun, eliminating countless options.
Finally, it landed on an option!
【Accumulating Strength (Talent): The longer you cultivate within the same realm, the more profound insights you gain into cultivation. 】
【Note: This effect will last for one month.】
Even though Ning An’s first drawn superpower turned out to be this.
In a flash, he felt a surge of profound insights regarding the second rank of martial arts.
He had been stuck at the second rank for six years.
He had reached the peak of the second rank a year ago.
Unfortunately, there was no clue about breaking through!
Until just now, he saw a glimmer of hope.
“Set a goal, break through to the third rank of martial arts within a month!”
Ning An couldn’t help but think to himself!
Although the first drawn superpower had several drawbacks and might even be quite useless.
But right now, this Accumulating Strength ability was perfect for his current situation.
Without hesitation, Ning An immediately took a month’s leave.
