n7 pm.

n

n

nWang Teng’s family finally sat down together to have their dinner.

n

n

n

n

n“Your father was halfway home when something cropped up at work again. He had to go back, so he was delayed by more than an hour. Can’t you go back after you finish your dinner?” Li Xiumei complained as she placed some food in Wang Teng’s bowl.

n

n

nWang Teng was holed up in his room for more than an hour. He also forgot about his dinner, but fortunately, his father was late because of work.

n

n

n“It was an emergency. I had to go back and take care of it first,” Wang Shengguo replied helplessly.

n

n

n“Let’s ignore your father. His mind is always fixed on his stupid company.” Li Xiumei rolled her eyes at Wang Shengguo.

n

n

n

n

nWang Teng smiled.

n

n

nWhen he was in high school, his relationship with his father was a little tense. Wang Shengguo had great hope for his child, so naturally, he was strict. However, Wang Teng was in his rebellious phase, and he didn’t study well. Thus, the conflict between him and his father got more intense.

n

n

nThinking back on it, Wang Teng felt that his actions were really childish in the past.

n

n

nOn the dining table, Wang Teng and Wang Shengguo were quieter as compared to Li Xiumei. She placed food in Wang Teng’s bowl and chatted with the father and son.

n

n

n

n

nWang Teng enjoyed this atmosphere.

n

n

nWang Shengguo had a short conversation with Wang Teng. He was mostly concerned with his studies.

n

n

nWang Teng’s replies were quite standard. He wasn’t as childish as before, and he didn’t throw tantrums or smash his chopsticks.

n

n

nWang Shengguo was pleasantly surprised. He felt that his son was different today, but he didn’t overthink. After finishing his dinner, Wang Shengguo left the house in a hurry.

n

n

nAs the boss of a huge company, he had many things to settle every day. Most of the time, he could only sleep for four to five hours daily.

n

n

nWang Teng informed his mother before leaving the house too. He rushed straight to the Jixin Martial House.

n

n

n

n

nA yellow sports car zoomed along the streets in the night, its loud engine catching the attention of many passers-by. Most of the cars today used the Force as their source of energy. Fuel had long been eliminated. The Force was more environmentally friendly and cheaper.

n

n

nThe pioneers didn’t just bring back the methods of cultivation from the Xingwu Continent. They also brought back many new technologies.

n

n

nThe Force rune was one of them.

n

n

nBy combining the technologies from the Xingwu Continent and the Earth, the Force technology was born. From then, cars started to use the Force. Later on, computers and phones also shifted to the newly invented Force runes chip and batteries. They worked faster and could last longer…

n

n

nHalf an hour later, Wang Teng parked the car outside the martial arts school.

n

n

nBased on the information he found, Jixin Martial House was one of China’s top three martial arts academies. The principal of this school was a 12-star general-rank martial warrior. He was ranked among the top 5 warriors in China.

n

n

nWorldwide, he was ranked among the top 20.

n

n

nThere were different ranks for martial warriors: 1-star to 9-star were soldiers, 10-star was brigadier general, 11-star was low-tier general, 12-star was general, 13-star was high-tier general…

n

n

n

n

nFrom this, one could tell how powerful the principle of the Jixin Martial House was.

n

n

nThe headquarters of the Jixin Martial House was in Capital Xia, with its branches spreading over the big cities in China. They had a lot of martial warriors in their employment and had given birth to many powerful people.

n

n

nThe Donghai branch of the Jixin Martial House was situated beside the sea. In the dark, it looked like a huge wild beast lying prone. The landmass it covered was comparable to a high school.

n

n

nThe martial arts academy’s main gate was wide enough for five cars to drive through side by side. It was grandeur and magnificent to say the least.

n

n

nThere was a huge rock erected in the middle of the main gate. The words ‘Jixin Martial House, Donghai branch’ were written conspicuously in gold.

n

n

nWhen he reached the sentry box, a few guards carrying guns walked to his car.

n

n

n“Routine inspection, please cooperate.”

n

n

nWang Teng lowered his car window and nodded. Then, he got out of his car.

n

n

nThe guards inspected the interior of the car and used the scanner to check Wang Teng’s body. The whole process was done very carefully.

n

n

nAt the same time, Wang Teng also sized up the guards.

n

n

nThey wore black protective vests and had large-caliber machine guns in their hands. Just their menacing looks and sophisticated gear was enough to frighten the onlookers.

n

n

nThere were Force runes carved on the machine guns, signifying that they were Force machine guns. They were ten times more powerful than their normal counterparts. Even if an official martial warrior got hit by them, he would be crippled.

n

n

nAfter the inspection, the guards let him in.

n

n

n

n

nWang Teng parked the car properly and walked along the paths in the martial arts academy.

n

n

nIt was already past 8 pm, but the place was brightly lit. Plenty of students could be seen on the roads and the grasses.

n

n

nThere was no lack of people training at night.

n

n

nEvery second counted when you were training to become a martial warrior. Being talented was the basic criteria. One still needed to work hard to achieve progress on his cultivation journey.

n

n

nThere were three tall and huge buildings in the martial arts academy. With their silver-white color with distinctive characteristics, it was easy to spot them.

n

n

nThe one in the middle was the administrative building. It was rectangular in shape and a hundred meters in height. It stabbed straight into the clouds like a spear. At the tip, there was a strange half circle.

n

n

nOn the left was the martial disciple teaching building, while the right one was the martial disciple training building.

n

n

nThese two buildings looked like two huge round balls. They weren’t tall, though, only having three floors, but they were extremely spacious. By rough estimate, they were two times bigger than Donghai No. 1 High School’s stadium.

n

n

nThe placements of these three buildings made Wang Teng suspect that this was the work of the principal’s poor sense of humor.

n

n

nWang Teng had done his homework, so he ran towards the administrative building without hesitation.

n

n

nUnder the staff’s guidance, he registered himself as a martial disciple and went to the martial disciple teaching building.

n

n

nThe martial arts academy would only accept students between the age of 16 and 30. This was to prevent wastage of resources.

n

n

nWang Teng was merely 17 years old, so age wasn’t a problem for him.

n

n

nThe noise in the teaching building struck him the second he walked into the building.

n

n

nThe first floor was where beginner disciples trained. Beginner disciples were beginner stage martial disciples, and there were more than 3000 beginner stage martial disciples in the Jixin Martial House.

n

n

nOn the first floor, all the students were cultivating on their own. It looked extremely lively.

n

n

nThe second Wang Teng entered the main lobby, he froze on the spot.

n

n

nWhat did he see?

n

n

nAround 50 transparent bubbles were floating above the ground.

n

n

nStrength*1

n

n

nSpeed*3

n

n

nPhysique*1

n

n

nEnlightenment*0.5

n

n

nStrength*2

n

n

n…

n

n

nWang Teng blinked. He blinked again. The bubbles were still there, but the other students in the lobby couldn’t see them.

n

n

nThis was his special skill?!

n

n

nHe wasn’t sure, so he pulled a student that was walking past.

n

n

n“What do you want!”

n

n

nThe student was around 17 years old. He glanced at Wang Teng irritatedly with a ‘why are you more handsome than me’ expression.

n

n

n“Brother, your floor… it’s paved really nicely,” Wang Teng pointed to the floor and said.

n

n

nThe transparent bubbles were floating at the height of his calves. He could see them just by lowering his head.

n

n

nThe student ignored the bubbles and replied impatiently, “Of course. This is the best rubber flooring. There are Force runes carved in it that can minimize vibration, last longer, and have many other functions.

n

n

n“Where do you come from? Don’t you have common sense?”

n

n

nThe student flicked his hand and walked away without looking back.

n

n

nWang Teng touched his chin. From the person’s reaction, he obviously couldn’t see the bubbles. That meant that he was the only person who could see them.

n

n

nThe students walked around the training area, some going through the bubbles. To them, the bubbles didn’t exist.

n

n

nWang Teng moved closer to the bubble nearest to him to test if he could walk through it.

n

n

nThe instant he touched it, the bubble disappeared.

n

n

nHis vision blurred for a moment, and a transparent board popped out.

n

n

nEnlightenment: 18

n

n

nPhysique: 41

n

n

nStrength: 50 ( 1)

n

n

nSpeed: 32

n

n

n…

n

n

nWang Teng’s heart palpitated as he stared at the transparent board. He felt as though his heart was going to jump out of his throat.

n

n

nThis was exhilarating.

n

n

nWang Teng felt that he wouldn’t be so excited even if he struck a hundred million lottery.

n

n

nHe couldn’t control himself.

n

n

nThis must be a bug!

n

n

nIn this era where martial warriors were the mainstream, becoming stronger was the only path to success.

n

n

nHis bug allowed him to collect attributes from other people and turn them into his own. This was heaven-defying!

n

n

nOther people had to cultivate diligently while he only had to pick up attributes. Wang Teng saw an unobstructed path to success in front of him.

n

n

nOne day, he would go straight to the top of the world!
