After strolling on the street for a while, Zhou Chen saw a small dojo in an inconspicuous corner. It was called the Weijiang Dojo.
“According to the original owner’s memory, there shouldn’t be supernatural power in this world, but martial arts still exist. The most suitable direction for me to improve myself is to learn them.”
Zhou Chen decided to go in and take a look. After all, the door was open.
The Weijiang Dojo was not large. As soon as he entered, he saw an old man in his sixties doing the horse stance.
The old man was wearing a white training suit. His posture in the horse stance looked orderly.
“Young man, you want to learn martial arts?”
A few seconds after Zhou Chen entered, the old man who was doing the horse stance stood up and asked him.
“Hmm… Who’s the instructor here?”
Zhou Chen did not deny his intentions.
“I am Liu Weijiang, the owner and instructor of this Weijiang Dojo.”
A profound smile flashed across the old man’s face.
“Oh… sorry to bother you.”
Zhou Chen turned and left after hearing this because he knew what an old man meant.
Although he did not know much about combat, he knew that true combat experts were young people.
“Young man! I can tell that you’re a martial arts genius! As long as you’re willing, I can teach you for free for a month!”
Perhaps because Zhou Chen was a little decisive, Boss Liu immediately tried to persuade him to stay.
“Free training for a month?”
Zhou Chen was about to reach the entrance of the dojo when he heard this. He was a little tempted and turned around to ask, “What can you teach me? Can you demonstrate it first?”
He felt that if the other party really had some level of proficiency, he could study here. Anyway, it was free.
“Of course.”
A profound smile immediately flashed across Boss Liu’s face when he saw that Zhou Chen was moved. He quickly got into his stance and demonstrated to Zhou Chen and explained his ultimate martial arts.
“I, Liu, have researched all kinds of martial arts in my life and created this set of Infinite Hell Fist. Now, I’ll show you a more difficult move: Five Hell Whip!”
Boss Liu began to explain and demonstrate.
His body quickly twisted at an indescribable rhythm. He suddenly shouted and raised his right leg to kick at the air. This kick seemed to have used too much strength, making him lose his balance. Fortunately, he stabilized his body at the last moment and used his left leg to perform a kick.
Zhou Chen’s heart immediately rose to his throat when he saw the old man’s performance. He realized that this old man did not know any martial arts at all and was only an enthusiast who was engrossed in his own world.
“Boss Liu, stop demonstrating. I can’t practice your martial arts. Goodbye!”
He was a little afraid that this old man would try to scam him. After saying that, he ran out of the dojo without looking back.
He ran to the street and stopped when he was a distance away from the dojo. He sighed in his heart. Free things really don’t have anything good. If he wanted to train properly, it was better to choose a real professional.
After the short interlude in the dojo, Zhou Chen did not continue strolling. He quickly returned to his room and checked the various information on diet and training plan on the Internet, as well as searching for a suitable combat instructor.
The diet and training plans were found easily, and he could carry them out very well. However, finding a combat instructor proved to be difficult. This was because he found that there were very few professional dojos in Dragon Country as it seemed that martial arts were far less popular here than in other countries. Moreover, they were expensive and had a long learning period. They were not suitable for someone like him who was about to undergo a Survival mission soon.
“I can’t learn any combat techniques in a few days, and I might even be injured… I might as well just train my body…”
After some consideration, Zhou Chen gave up on learning combat arts. He was going to focus on exercising, and face the challenge in his peak state.
Two days later, Zhou Chen paid the rent to Landlady Wang, who had arrived early. He spent the next few days doing what he usually did while also adding exercises. Occasionally, he would activate the Corpse Poison ability to test and train. He would also browse the system forum for any new information. Time passed like this, and it was time for the mission.
[Survival mission is about to begin. Please be prepared.]
When the cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind again, Zhou Chen was already prepared.
In his left hand was a crowbar, in his right was a chopper, and in his pants pocket was a dagger. In front of him was a digital clock.
He was preparing to test the characteristics of the system that he found out through the forums to see if he could bring tools into the dungeon world and confirm the difference in the time flow of the dungeon world and Planet Blue.
[Teleportation begins…]
Soon, Zhou Chen, who had adjusted his mind to the peak state, noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed greatly. He arrived at an unfamiliar and messy modern storehouse.
There were many hard paper boxes scattered in the storeroom. Around the boxes were nine other people. There were men and women, and most of them were relatively young. All of them looked calm, as if they were not rookie Survivors.
[Zombie City]
[Difficulty: Low Bronze]
[Mission: Spend three days in this city that is in a zombie crisis.]
While Zhou Chen and the other Survivors were observing each other, the system gave them the mission goal.
“Zombie city… Three days… This feels much more difficult than the trial mission…”
Zhou Chen thought inwardly. At the same time, he realized that his hands were empty, and the dagger in his pants pocket was gone too. All that was left was clean sportswear and sneakers.
“As expected, what was written in the forum was true…”
This confirmed that Planet Blue’s items could not be brought into the dungeon world.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a half shirt and shorts scanned the crowd and said, “Everyone, the system has just issued a mission. We need to spend three days in this city with zombies. I believe everyone knows that this is not going to be easy. I suggest that everyone unite and work together to survive these three days.”
This middle-aged man was probably a person with a strong desire for leadership. He also looked to be quite suitable for it because he was the oldest among the ten.
“I agree.”
A thin young man was the first to respond. This young man probably lacked confidence and wanted to rely on others to survive.
“I agree too. There’s strength in numbers.”
A girl in sportswear who looked to be in her twenties also expressed her support.
“Hehe, I’m more used to working alone.”
A tall young man laughed disdainfully, indicating that he wanted to go alone.
