CHAPTER 45: The Beginning of Turmoil
The next day, the weather was gloomy. After Chen Chu got up and warmed up his body, he had breakfast and headed out with Chen Hu.
Watching Chen Chu walk in front, his figure becoming more upright and robust, emanating a faint sense of pressure, Chen Hu felt a bit puzzled.
"Bro, why can't we middle school students cultivate?"
A month ago, his brother still looked frail, but now, in just over a month, he had become so handsome and powerful that it was enviable.
Chen Chu explained, "Because your bodies haven't fully developed yet. Your various bodily functions aren't perfect, and starting to practice the overbearing true martial too early could lead to some deformities."
"We still have to wait," Chen Hu said, somewhat regretfully.
Chen Chu glanced at him and reminded, "This is the experience gained from years of official research, it won't be wrong."
"Once you reach high school, as long as you have talent, you'll be able to cultivate naturally. The school provides systematic training and resources, which is safer than trying to figure it out on your own."
"And, don't believe those misguided theories online. Those incomplete true martial cultivation techniques are dangerous to practice; do you understand?"
"I understand, bro."
Seeing that Chen Hu was genuinely listening to him, Chen Chu nodded and didn't say anything else.
Uncertain whether something was about to happen, the internet had recently become chaotic, with rampant claims that anyone could cultivate true martial.
In addition, various techniques were circulating online.
Although these techniques were quickly blocked and eliminated by the authorities, some still leaked out.
For example, Chen Chu had taken screenshots of several.
He found that they were all low-level techniques with only two or three layers, and their content was incomplete. Without going through the foundation establishment phase, it would be very difficult to cultivate successfully.
Moreover, even if someone had exceptional talent and managed to cultivate successfully through these incomplete techniques, they would still be limited to the first and second levels of heaven due to the lack of subsequent techniques.
Chen Chu wondered what those who released these incomplete techniques were thinking.
It's important to note that under the current federal laws, almost everyone in the three major alliances has the opportunity to cultivate when they enter high school.
But whether they can succeed in cultivation depends on their talent.
As for those small and medium alliances outside the three major nations, due to local laws and some agreements made when the federation was formed, the federation cannot interfere too much.
Thus, in certain countries, ordinary people have the opportunity to access cultivation techniques, but in some small alliances, true martial practices are controlled by the upper echelons, and ordinary people have no chance to access them.
Could the purpose of those online people be to disrupt those small alliances?
Lost in thought, Chen Chu arrived at school. However, instead of going to the academic classroom, he directly went to the third-floor training area of Building C.
Last Friday's exam had already been completed, and his results were good enough that he didn't need to study anymore.
"Chen Chu is here."
"Hey, Chu Ge, you're here!"
"Chen Chu, you did great yesterday!"
As soon as Chen Chu entered the third floor, some classmates actively greeted him, much more warmly than before, naturally due to the influence of being in the top 49.
After a day's fermentation, the simple information of everyone in the top fifty was dug up on the school's official website.
Others were fine; the worst were ordinary 'geniuses' who had established their foundation within a week. However, the first place, An Fuqing, left a sense of despair.
But among these people, Chen Chu was the only 'ordinary' student who had established his foundation within half a month and practiced low-level techniques.
For someone to break into the top fifty among such strong competitors was certainly not weak. Thus, the name Chen Chu had gained some fame among the new students.
