From Apprentice Level Nine to Planetary Level is a leap in life gene-level, and this step is very difficult to cross, especially for Earth genes whose bloodline level is not up to standard. God of War is almost the limit for most martial artists.
But if one breaks through, the improvement brought about is tremendous.
Just like Shen Ping now, as his gene original energy transformed him in all aspects, his physical fitness rapidly increased, even more exaggerated than the improvement from consuming essence of vegetation. In just half an hour, his punching power surged by over five hundred thousand kilograms, and it was still increasing.
It wasn't until his bones and tendons seemed to be reshaped that the transformation by gene original energy slowly concluded.
Feeling the changes in his body, he slightly clenched his fist, as if an explosive power was about to break free from his arm.
"More than three years have passed since the activation of the Golden Finger, and I've finally broken through to the Planetary Level, two years ahead of the planned five years."
Although he knew he would eventually break through with the Golden Finger, the joy he felt when he actually reached this step was uncontrollable.
He ran to the bathroom and took a shower.
Shen Ping then impatiently left the Base City and went to the Wilderness Area to carefully experience the differences of the Planetary Level.
Whoosh.
With a slight movement of his mind.
The Flame Yellow miniature planet in his dantian began to rotate, emitting waves of strange fluctuations. Instantly, he floated in the air like a feather, no longer bound by Earth's gravity.
Boom.
The moment his gene original energy was activated.
His body rapidly shot forward. At first, he was a bit unaccustomed and almost crashed into a distant tall building, but in just a few minutes, he completely mastered aerial flight.
Looking down at the buildings below.
This feeling of soaring and flying like a bird thrilled and immersed him.
Two hours later.
Shen Ping reluctantly landed on the rooftop of a tall building. Then he integrated his gene original energy into his skin, and flames immediately appeared on his body surface.
Every martial artist awakens a special ability when breaking through to the Planetary Level. In the universe, various special abilities are categorized into eight major types: metal, wood, water, fire, Earth, wind, lightning, and light. Each category is further subdivided into various different abilities. Luo Feng's ability, for example, is the metal-type Vajra Body.
His, however, was a fire-type special ability. In this category, there are abilities like Flame Man and Fire Cultivation. Judging from the changes on his body surface, he estimated it was Flame Man, because his speed would significantly increase after activating the special ability.
Of course, the special abilities of martial artists are diverse and strange. Some provide strong enhancements to oneself, while others are weak, but regardless of whether they are strong or weak, the most important thing is how to use them.
He stayed in the Wilderness Area until evening.
Shen Ping then returned to the Base City.
During dinner, he began to ponder his future development plan. Before breaking through to the Planetary Level, his strength was insufficient, so he could only develop slowly. But now that he had reached the councilor-level and possessed the black god suit, the only ones in Global who could pose a threat to him were Hong and Thunder God.
Therefore, the pace of development could be further accelerated.
After all, the further one progresses at the Planetary Level, the more difficult it becomes to improve. If he wanted to maintain his previous speed, he had to obtain generous family rewards, such as mu ya crystal.
"To significantly increase my industry again, I need to master a monopoly economy, just like those core financial families in the HR Alliance. So, the development and utilization of gene agents must be put on the agenda. However, once such a thing appears, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of various forces… The plan for exposing my strength can no longer be delayed; at the latest, I will go abroad in November."
"Additionally, there's the family foundation. If it truly is the impact of the Lishui District Villa industry, then strengthening the foundation might allow me to once again receive a solid and powerful step evaluation."
"Finally, there's the matter of descendants."
Thinking of this.
Shen Ping couldn't help but look up at Li Yuewei. Although they met through an arranged marriage, their relationship had become quite good after these years of being together. Although his wife had suggested more than once that he find another, he had always been quite hesitant internally.
But now, this aspect really had to be accelerated.
"Wife, are Xiao Yin's classes at school very demanding lately?"
Li Yuewei was surprised for a moment. This was the first time her husband had mentioned her cousin in front of her. While pondering the hidden meaning in her husband's words, she replied, "She doesn't have many classes, but China Art Academy is a three-year program, and she's already in her third year. Her classmates are all looking for jobs, and she's also running around with them."
Shen Ping said "Oh" and then asked, "Has she decided what kind of job she wants to find?"
Li Yuewei casually said, "For female students graduating from art academies nowadays, getting into a radio station is considered good. Most of the rest either go into promotion or work as etiquette servers. The best option among them is to work at the HR Alliance Mall."
"She's just running around aimlessly. I told her a long time ago that she should just come directly to the company at the end of the year. Our company is really short-staffed right now."
Saying that.
His wife suddenly laughed, "Let her learn from Lin Jing for a while, and then she can help out in your office."
Shen Ping's heart warmed upon hearing this, and he chuckled dryly, "Being a secretary might not be very suitable."
Li Yuewei didn't respond but gave Shen Ping a glare.
She knew a cat would always steal fish. Her husband really couldn't resist now, but she didn't mind. In this Base City era, martial artists with good personalities like her husband were rare. Most martial artists were wild and reckless; having several women outside was not a big deal.
…
As soon as September arrived.
Shen Ping called Mu Yang and asked him to come to the community.
Upon hearing that they were going to practice blade techniques.
Mu Yang quickly drove over.
"Shen Ge, you finally called me."
Seeing Shen Ping.
The young man playfully complained with a hint of resentment.
Shen Ping glared at him irritably, "Hurry up and change, we're going to the Dojo of Limits later."
"Alright."
After changing clothes.
The two walked towards the Dojo of Limits in the community, greeting other martial artists warmly along the way.
"Shen Ge, seeing you this time feels a bit different. You seem more authoritative."
Mu Yang said.
Shen Ping smiled, "That's called the demeanor of a superior. The company is expanding, and we have over three hundred employees. If you sit in the office every day and are complimented by a group of people, you can also develop this kind of authority."
In fact, he knew this was due to his breakthrough to the Planetary Level.
It was only because the two were very familiar; if it were an ordinary martial artist, they would involuntarily be reserved and feel an invisible pressure when standing in front of him.
Mu Yang imagined that scene and quickly shook his head, "Forget it. Compared to sitting in an office, I prefer going to the Wilderness Area and dealing with monsters."
Shen Ping was not surprised by Mu Yang's words at all. Most martial artists who still had potential for advancement would not stay in the Base City but yearned for the Wilderness Area, pursuing the thrill of improving their bodies through the 'dancing on the blade' during battles with monsters.
Upon arriving at the Dojo of Limits.
He had Mu Yang perform his blade technique once, then began to offer guidance. With his Ninefold Thunder Blade and his mastery of blade technique realms, he pointed out the flaws in his blade technique with just a few simple sentences.
"How many times have I told you, the Ninefold Thunder Blade emphasizes the combination of stillness and movement. Your blade technique is fast, but it lacks explosive power. Do it again!"
During the blade technique instruction.
Shen Ping was not polite at all; he scolded when necessary.
Half a month later.
The young man finally made some progress in his blade technique.
Buzz buzz ~
His communication wristband vibrated.
He glanced at it, a look of surprise on his face. The call was from his cousin, Su Yin.
