Chapter 2: Talent
Your salamander avatar gains an evolution point by consuming a significant amount of food.
"The property page is being generated... The generation is complete."
Accompanied by two lines of transparent text, Chen Chu was amazed as a transparent page frame appeared before his eyes.
Constitution: 7 (ordinary person 10)
Strength: 7
Dexterity: 6
Spirit: 10
Talent: Soul Split
Body: Hexagonal Salamander [Ordinary amphibious creature, adult body length 30 cm, combat power 0]
Level: None
Talent: None
Evolution value: 1/10 [Evolution can be activated when the evolution value is full]
"Property page..." Chen Chu let out a slow breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Being a half-otaku who enjoys reading novels, watching anime, and playing games in his free time, Chen Chu naturally accepted this unexpected turn of events.
And he probably knows why the hexagonal salamander became his clone.
It should be related to his talent for soul splitting.
As Chen Chu scanned all the statistics, he wasn't surprised that his attributes were lower than normal, except for spirit.
His body is really weak.
Then his eyes fell on the data of the clone below, and a slight smile formed at the corners of his mouth.
It only exists in the fantasy property page, and as long as he eats, he can accumulate evolved avatars. In this case, he feels that he can casually excel in life.
"Cough... Calm down, calm down." After the excitement, Chen Chu gradually regained his composure.
Next, he studied the property page for a while, but unfortunately, he still gained nothing.
...
At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Chu walked along the sidewalk wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes, facing the rising sun on his way to school.
I must say that the school uniform style in this world is quite good. After wearing it, Chen Chu appears more energetic.
At that moment, Chen Hu, who was standing beside them, said with envy, "Brother, you look so handsome in that school uniform."
Due to his childhood weakness, Chen Chu has always had a pale and clean complexion with delicate facial features that are even more attractive than many girls'.
Although his height of 1.7 meters is not very tall, he walks with a straight posture and carries himself with a certain grace, giving off the impression of a delicate and beautiful boy.
"It's fine," Chen Chu responded, quite content with his appearance, relieved that he didn't turn out ugly and short after time travel.
In comparison to his older brother, Chen Hu, the younger brother, is a bit rougher. At thirteen years old, he stands at 1.75 meters with a strong and stocky build.
Both Chen Chu and Chen Hu are starting school today, one in junior high and the other in high school.
Their schools are in the same direction, with Chen Hu's school being closer, about a 20-minute walk, while Chen Chu's high school is about half an hour away in a different district.
"Brother, I heard that in high school, you can learn real martial arts, and if you're talented, you can get selected for national training," Chen Hu exclaimed.
Chen Chu shook his head and replied, "Meeting the national training standards is not easy."
Chen Hu clenched his fist and said, "Brother, I believe in you. You can do it."
"...Do you really think my frail body can excel in martial arts training?" Chen Chu lacked confidence compared to Chen Hu's unwavering trust.
After the dawn of the new era, following over a decade of chaos, countries worldwide united to form the present-day United States of America, which has enjoyed stability for decades.
The city they currently reside in is called Wujiang City, mainly populated by Han Chinese, and it enforces a 12-year compulsory education system.
Once students reach high school, as their physical development is mostly complete, they begin learning the fundamental techniques of real martial arts established by the Federation.
At this point, paths in life begin to diverge for most individuals.
Those with aptitude for cultivation and a desire to pursue martial arts join the martial arts class in their first semester of high school, focusing on martial arts while studying liberal arts.
Others who have undergone one semester of basic martial arts training but lack talent can focus on liberal arts and sciences, striving for excellent grades to enter university.
Certainly, whether it's martial arts or academics, only a few individuals possess natural talent, and most people enter society after completing high school.
Since martial arts require a good physique as a foundation, Chen Chu has little hope for his cultivation talent.
However, he remains undeterred. With the attribute page and the potential to evolve his avatar, he still has the possibility of reaching the top.
Chen Chu and Chen Hu parted ways along the route and walked for about ten minutes along the sidewalk until they reached the entrance of Nantian Wugao School.
Today marks the first day of school, and the streets are bustling with cars transporting children.
Despite the presence of "spiritual energy recovery," technological advancement in this world progresses slowly, only slightly surpassing the overall development of Earth.
Thus, although these luxury cars boast sleek designs, they still rely on fossil fuels and electricity, without having reached the stage of suspension technology.
Following the crowd, Chen Chu strolled into the school and traced the names displayed on the bulletin board until he reached the third classroom on the second floor of the senior one teaching building.
At that moment, some students had already gathered inside, creating a slightly noisy atmosphere.
Glancing around, Chen Chu found a seat in the back row near the window and sat down, reflecting, "I never expected to attend high school again after time travel."
Soon, the class filled up with approximately forty students, maintaining an equal male-to-female ratio.
At nine o'clock, a woman in her thirties entered the classroom, dressed formally and wearing a serious expression. Upon entering, she wrote "Chen Qi" on the blackboard.
Chen Qi stood at the podium, gazing over the class, and spoke earnestly, "My name is Chen Qi, and I will be your homeroom teacher starting today."
She then pointed directly at two students in the front row, stating, "You two will serve as interim class monitors."
You, temporarily serving as the martial arts committee member, is there any issue?"
The two students she named were a boy and a girl. The boy eagerly stood up and said, "Teacher, I'm fine."
The girl nodded in agreement, saying, "I have no problem."
"Very well. Later, the two of you can gather a few classmates and go to the textbook room to collect and distribute the learning materials."
"Okay, teacher."
Then she glanced at all the students and spoke with indifference, "Today is the first day of school, and there's nothing specific to do. The main goal is for you to familiarize yourselves with your class."
"After receiving the study materials, you are free to move around. You can head back home or explore the school. Classes will begin tomorrow."
"Also, your current seating arrangement will remain the same unless there are exceptional circumstances."
"There are keys in the drawer under your desks to lock the learning materials inside, so there's no need to memorize them every day."
"That's all for now."
After she finished speaking, the homeroom teacher named Chen Qi turned around and swiftly left, leaving the students feeling bewildered.
Including Chen Chu, no one expected to encounter such an indifferent homeroom teacher on their first day of high school in this world.
Perhaps this was the educational style in this world?
Shouldn't each student usually introduce themselves on stage to help everyone get acquainted, fostering a class atmosphere and adapting to the new environment earlier?
