[MC's POV]
"Oh? I see... So everyone joined phase three, well i guess this is what they call the more the merrier." Wang Xiu Ying said.
"Phase three will commence tomorrow my young disciples, the moon is already up and continuing the test while its dark will only lead to problems and accidents, as such we can only begin the last examination tomorrow, use this time to rest or if you're a martial arts maniac then cultivate but i recommend the former, that's it for now and goodbye everyone," The elder announced.
"Understood!" The crowd yelled in unison.
Finally... We can finally rest... Yes...
"Wang'er do you feel tired?" I asked.
"Not at all, why do you ask?" Wang'er responded.
"Well im beat... I just want to get home so i can finally lay down in my bed," I said while yawning.
"I agree, hours of standing in this place really does take a toll on a low realm cultivator's body," Wang'er stated.
"Yeah, we should head towards home right now, im also curious to see whether that girl from earlier have woken up from her sleep."
--*3 Hours later*--
Wow... I don't remember my house being 3 hours far from the sect... Or was i just really fast? i don't really give a fuck though because im finally home.
"Father! Im home!"
"We are back lord vold- i mean father..." Wang'er said.
"Oh! Welcome back Shen, how was the sect examination? did you pass?" My father asked me.
"Hahaha... Of course! i could even be considered as an outer disciple now although i participated in the phase 3 of the examination with the hopes of passing and being admitted as an inner disciple right off the bat."
The problem is... How should i fight? i mean... I have no martial arts techniques, even the lowest tiered martial art would be of immense help to me because i can't just win a fight between cultivators with just a normal punch and kick, am i really screwed this time?
Martial arts techniques have their own
individual tiers.
White tier, Yellow tier, Orange Tier, Purple Tier
Red tier, Blue tier and last Black tier.
White tiered martial arts are the weakest
martial arts with black tiered being the strongest martial arts techniques, Normal People's martial arts also belong to the White category.
I also highly doubt that my old man has one because he isn't a cultivator but instead a normal human so he doesn't have any need for any kind of martial arts technique.
Creating one for myself is another option but... I'm not an experienced cultivator... I'll scratch that idea...
I'm really screwed tomorrow...
"Shen, i know you haven't practiced any martial arts technique since birth so i'll give you this technique that your grandfather have bestowed upon me but i have no need for it but maybe you do, here you go Shen," My old man handed me an unknown martial arts technique manual.
"Um father... What category does this technique belong to?" I asked, i am really shocked because i didn't expect my old man has a technique in store.
My father made me ate my words about him not having any techniques at all, well i guess i didn't consider my grandfather being a cultivator and bestowing my father a technique, i think my grandfather hoped for my father to be a cultivator but sadly... he isn't... But fret not grandfather because your grandson will follow your will!
"About what category this technique belongs to well... I absolutely don't have the slightest clue at all! it's up to you to find out." My old man answered.
"I see... I guess that makes sense."
But the examination is tomorrow so it's already too late to practice this martial arts!
I guess this night will be a sleepless night... If i really want to win then a sleepless night is just a small sacrifice so there's no harm in that, i don't want to brag but my comprehension abilities is also the same level as my talent so needless to say... It's possible to at least replicate one move from this technique... If it does have multiple moves that is...
Well there's no use in trying to rack my brain as my comprehension capabilities are as high as my talent so i should have some confidence in myself.
When in doubt... Just do it.
Oh wait...
"Father, where's the girl from earlier?"
"Oh her? well she left the moment she woke up, i gave her some money so she could buy her daily necessities," my old man replied
"WHAT?! E-Ehem... well..."
Did my old man really let her go? She was in danger of being caught and executed... I just hope that she has already escaped this village and went to another place...
"I'll go in the yard to practice this technique that father has inherited from my grandfather so i will be taking my leave first"

"Father, that martial art technique you gave Shen wasn't a white tiered technique right?" Wang Xiu Ying asked Shen Zhang's father.
"You sure do have a good perception lass, it is indeed not a white tiered technique!" Shen Zhang's father chuckled
"Then what tier is it?" Wang Xiu Ying added.
"Oh, it's just a black tiered technique don't sweat yourself too much, and of course my father was the one that wasn't a cultivator so when i said he bestowed me a technique, i was lying of course." Shen Zhang's father stated.
"I see... You never cease to surprise me father," Wang Xiu Ying complimented Shen Zhang's father
"I could say the same for you lass," Shen Zhang's father replied.
--*In the Zhang Household's yard*--
"Hm... So the name of this technique is 'Heavenly Strike,' i think already know what the moves in this technique are hahaha!"
"So this technique has five moves. First move is the usage of one's fist, Second move is one's palm, Third move is one's elbow, Fourth move is one's feet and the Final move is one's knee... Pretty straight forward actually and as usual you gotta start with the first move..."
"According to this technique... Clench your fist tightly and feel the heaven's energy coursing through body, build the energy up and compress it whilst pouring all of it to your fist, the heavens will be your power and you will be its host, imagine the power swirling inside of your fist and release it all in one fell strike, if one's will to persevere is puny then the heavens shall decline your usage for its power.
"..."
"Okay... Feel the heaven's energy... Gather it... Compress it... Pour all of it down to the fist... The heaven's shall dominate the world... The power will clash within your body as it swirls inside of you... Then release it!"
**BOOM** < (Haha yard goes kaboom -Author)
Holy shit... that was... AWESOME! that power inside of me was so satisfying... So that was the heaven's power? I am still adept at the first move but what if i master it? I could not even imagine how strong the strike will be infused with the heavens will, i can still make many more improvements from it... With this technique, i finally have the chance to win! Hahaha! But i shouldn't get ahead of my self and be overconfident, i should continue practicing till i get the hang of this technique but before that... It took a toll on my body... I should start cultivating my body now so i could support the heavy toll on this technique.
But how am i supposed to explain this huge chunk of yard obliterated to my father?
Im gonna worry about that later hahahaha! What's the worse that could happen right?
--*Some hours later*--
[Third Person View]
*Fshhhhhh*
Steam was coming out of Shen Zhang's body and some black filthy liquid was being expelled from Shen Zhang's body, those black filthy liquid are what cultivators call... Impurities, if cultivators don't clean up their impurities inside their body then it'll become a heavy hurdle on your cultivation journey and then it will thoroughly prevent you from advancing any further.
"Finally... After so many hours... i have achieved a breakthrough in my body cultivation, now im at the First phase of Body Modification and i have also gotten rid of my impurities which is a good thing, now i should be able to handle the technique's backlash better than before."
It's more recommended to cultivate the Qi than your body cultivation first because every time a cultivator advances a realm or a stage of a realm, impurities will start to pile up, that's why some people only continue their body cultivation after they advance at least 3 stage of a realm then continue their body cultivation in order to rid themselves of impurities but body cultivation also have their own body technique manuals that are needed for people to advance their body cultivation beyond body modification stage.
Body Modification stage is the stage where your body gets strengthened and improved and of course modified in order for someone to be able to advance to higher stages of body cultivation, in other words it is the gateway for body cultivation.
There also people called super humans because they only cultivate their body and ignore Qi cultivating, of course cultivators and super humans are equal in terms of percentage of population, like how many cultivators and super humans are in the whole world estimated by percentage then you'll see that they have an equal percentage.
So technically there are both superhumans and cultivators everywhere hahaha, although their title makes it seem like they are rare but unfortunately they are as common as cultivators.
Normal humans that doesn't have an energy core could also practice body cultivation so that's why the population of superhumans are comparable to cultivators.
Although cultivators are of course stronger than them as they can both cultivate their Wi and body.
--*The next day*--
Shen Zhang slept at the yard last night after finally getting the hang of the technique he had received from his grandfather through his father.
"Wait it's already morning... I'm also getting hungry... And cold..." Shen Zhang said while entering his house
"Good Morning Shen," Wang Xiu Ying greeted Shen Zhang.
"Good Morning Wang'er," Shen Zhang greeted back. "Where's father?"
"Oh lord vold- i mean your father has gone outside for some fresh air, lets eat now Shen before we go to the sect to participate in the last phase of the Sect Examination," Wang Xiu Ying suggested.
"Yeah we should, i was also getting hungry from practicing last night and only getting a bit sleep because i was starving hahaha!" Shen Zhang said while laughing.
"Mhm..."
--*After eating*--
"Let's go Wang'er" Said Shen Zhang.
"Alright," Said Wang Xiu Ying as she followed Shen Zhang.
"I sure can't wait to beat up some arrogant young nobles," Shen Zhang muttered to himself
Wang Xiu Ying giggled as she heard what Shen Zhang was muttering to himself.
"To the sect we go!"
