'How is this possible?!'
Kuang Guanghua simply couldn't believe his eyes.
He had just checked Wang Xiao's personal information a few days ago.
It clearly showed that Wang Xiao was a Tier Zero Citizen!
How had Wang Xiao become a Tier Three Citizen in just a few days?!
'Could the intelligence I looked at have been wrong?'
'That should be impossible.'
After all, the Tianhe Group had special channels, and the intelligence they obtained was always absolutely authentic.
They wouldn't provide him with false information.
'Or could it be... that this young man before me was promoted to Tier Three Citizen within the last few days?!'
The moment he considered this possibility,
Kuang Guanghua couldn't help but shudder.
Jumping three tiers at once was just too outrageous.
Tier Three Citizens weren't a dime a dozen; there weren't many in all of Dachang City!
Wang Xiao spoke up. "If you think this is fake, you can go back and check again. In any case, my Martial Arts Hall is not for sale. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Since he was now a Tier Three Citizen, it was only natural to exercise the rights that came with it.
Foolishly hiding his status, waiting for others to find out, and then attracting a pile of trouble...
...that was something only an idiot would do.
Kuang Guanghua finally snapped back to his senses. He immediately reined in his earlier arrogance, his tone becoming extremely respectful.
"My sincerest apologies, Mr. Wang. This was an oversight on our part. I'll go back and report to my superiors right away. I will return at a later date to offer a formal apology."
Kuang Guanghua had clawed his way up through society for years to finally reach a manager's position at the Tianhe Group.
He was a master of social etiquette.
Even if the information Wang Xiao provided was fake, he wouldn't dare to offend him to his face.
Instead, he would go back, verify everything, and then come back to negotiate with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao said no more and turned back into the Martial Arts Hall.
This Kuang Guanghua was just an employee of the Tianhe Group. Even if his character was somewhat despicable, Wang Xiao couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
He had just walked into the courtyard,
when he saw Qin Mengyun approaching, dressed in a white tracksuit with a towel slung over her shoulder.
Her figure was well-proportioned, her long legs straight and slender, exuding a youthful vitality.
A few beads of sweat on her neck made her fair skin appear even more rosy.
She seemed to have just finished exercising. Wiping away her sweat with the towel, she said:
"Master, I can now freely circulate my blood and qi."
Hearing this, Wang Xiao nodded slightly.
Qin Mengyun's Cultivation speed was within his expectations.
After all,
Qin Mengyun was a Tier Three Life form herself. Her control over her body might even be stronger than a Martial Saint's.
Simply circulating her blood and qi was an easy task for her.
"Good. The next Realm is called the Innate Realm. It involves mobilizing your blood and qi according to a fixed Circulation path to bombard the Lower Dantian, which then generates Inner Qi."
"Hold out your hand."
Qin Mengyun obediently did as she was told.
Wang Xiao placed his fingers on Qin Mengyun's wrist and said, "Memorize this Circulation path."
His Inner Qi surged, flowing along Qin Mengyun's meridians, passing through the Great and Small Circulation, and finally gathering in her Dantian.
Qin Mengyun's beautiful eyes widened. "So this is Inner Qi? It's truly magical!"
She felt a warm current rise from her abdomen, which also seemed to have the effect of nourishing her meridians.
Wang Xiao said, "Yes. Next, I will teach you the Mantra, as well as the tricks and methods for circulating your blood and qi. This step is a bit complex. You need to remember it clearly and make no mistakes."
"Okay," Qin Mengyun nodded.
Next,
Wang Xiao explained all the detailed steps to Qin Mengyun one by one.
It had to be said,
Qin Mengyun's aptitude was quite exceptional.
He only had to explain it twice before she had memorized it completely.
However, the Cultivation Technique for the Innate Realm was much more complex than for the Postnatal Realm.
One must first generate Inner Qi, then have that Inner Qi flow through every limb and vessel to be considered to have reached Perfection.
Even for someone like Qin Mengyun, reaching Perfection would likely take at least half a month, or even a full month.
And this was only because she was a Tier Three Life form with a foundation equivalent to the Martial God Realm.
If it were an ordinary person, without relying on Genetic Potions, they might not succeed even after ten years!
Of course, the Real World had far more abundant resources than the Martial Arts World.
Relying on various resources could greatly accelerate this Cultivation speed.
"Cultivate on your own for now. With your Talent, you should be able to get the hang of it quickly."
Wang Xiao had Qin Mengyun perform the Great and Small Circulation once. After confirming there were no issues, he left her to it.
Right now, there was at least a month until his next transmigration.
Wang Xiao wanted to use this Time to properly organize what he had learned and understood during his thirty years in the Martial Arts World!
「About an hour later.」
Wang Xiao slowly withdrew the nascent form of Martial Arts behind him and let out a soft breath.
He had just used his Analyze All Things Talent to try and fuse his life's learnings and explore the path forward.
Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.
Everything Wang Xiao had learned in the Martial Arts World only took him up to the Martial God Realm.
Advancing any further was practically impossible!
'It seems if I want to continue raising my Life Tier, my only option is to obtain a Cultivation Technique from the next world. I wonder what kind of world it will be, and whether it can offer some inspiration for my Martial Arts!'
Wang Xiao pinched the bridge of his nose.
In the Real World, he could actually choose a Life Evolution Path to cultivate.
However,
Wang Xiao had been practicing martial arts for over forty years and wanted to continue seeking a breakthrough on this path.
Switching to a different Life Evolution Path might take even longer.
Wang Xiao walked out of the Training Room, just about to head to the backyard to check on Qin Mengyun's Cultivation progress.
A figure in a security uniform hurried in from outside the courtyard.
It was none other than Wang Xiao's uncle-in-law, Wu Lin.
Seeing Wang Xiao, he got straight to the point.
"Xiao Xiao, have you thought any more about the Martial Arts Hall matter I told you about before?"
Wang Xiao hadn't expected his uncle-in-law to be so invested in this matter. He couldn't help but say:
"I'm sorry, Uncle, but I'm not going to sell the World Martial Arts Hall."
Wu Lin sighed and pleaded earnestly, "Do you think the price is too low? How about this, I'll go negotiate with the Tianhe Group and have them add a little more."
"I know you grew up in the Martial Arts Hall and are attached to it, but you can't fight a losing battle. Sometimes you just have to bow your head. Otherwise, if the Tianhe Group pulls a few strings, you'll be in for a world of hurt, and you won't even have a chance to reason with anyone!"
He felt helpless inside.
If his captain hadn't been pressuring him, he wouldn't have come to persuade his stubborn nephew time and time again.
Besides, he truly believed that selling the Martial Arts Hall now was the best choice for Wang Xiao.
He had witnessed the Tianhe Group's methods firsthand.
They had connections on both sides of the law.
How could his nephew possibly fight against them?!
Wang Xiao said calmly, "Actually..."
He was just about to explain things to Wu Lin.
But then, the roar of Anti-gravity Flying Vehicle engines echoed from outside the Martial Arts Hall.
A moment later,
two figures in sharp suits walked slowly into the Martial Arts Hall.
One of them was Kuang Guanghua, the project manager from the Tianhe Group whom Wang Xiao had just met.
At this moment,
Kuang Guanghua was following several paces behind another middle-aged man with the utmost respect.
This middle-aged man looked to be around fifty, with an aquiline nose, an upright posture, white hair at his temples, and rugged features that gave off a tough-as-nails aura.
"HISS... That's the founder of the Tianhe Group, Shen Tianhe! What is he doing here?!"
Seeing the middle-aged man, Wu Lin couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
This Shen Tianhe was a legendary figure in Dachang City.
He started from scratch at thirty and founded the Tianhe Group.
In just thirty years, he had turned the Tianhe Group into Dachang City's largest construction conglomerate, a benchmark enterprise with a market value exceeding thirty billion.
Most importantly, Shen Tianhe was one of the few Tier Four Citizens in Dachang City.
A true member of the elite!
Normally,
Wu Lin had only ever seen Shen Tianhe on television.
Seeing Shen Tianhe walk over,
Wu Lin quickly looked at Wang Xiao beside him and whispered:
"Xiao Xiao, the boss of Tianhe Group actually came in person! Even if you don't want to sell the Martial Arts Hall, don't show it. I'll go handle him for you."
He had never imagined Shen Tianhe would come personally.
To prevent Wang Xiao from misspeaking, he had no choice but to brace himself and step up.
Just as Wu Lin was putting on a smile, about to greet Shen Tianhe,
Shen Tianhe walked right past him, looked at Wang Xiao behind him, and his hearty voice rang out:
"Brother Wang, regarding the transfer of this Martial Arts Hall, I admit my Tianhe Group has been careless. I came here today specifically to apologize to you, Brother Wang."
Hearing Shen Tianhe's words, Wu Lin froze on the spot.
He wondered if he had misheard.
An apology?
Shen Tianhe apologizing to his nephew?
What was going on?!
