We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 69 Double Happiness
Shen Bailian walked home alone. There were few pedestrians on the road, and the summer evening breeze was blowing gently, carrying a slight coolness that made people feel extremely comfortable.

Since he began his intensive martial arts training, his mind had been under constant pressure, but after experiencing two overwhelming battles...

Shen Bailian realized that he seemed to be very strong.

He hadn't felt this peaceful in a long time; the cacophony of cicadas in summer seemed to transform into a clear and melodious symphony at this moment.

The air was fresh, and every blade of grass and tree along the roadside seemed so kind and welcoming. Even his soul felt cleansed, free from any impurity.

Moreover, his perception was constantly being amplified.

Shen Bailian could clearly hear the conversations of passersby dozens of meters away, the air ripples as hovercars passed by, the sound of cicadas flapping their wings, and the barking of pet dogs.
Cut the wrong bullets, and the big beads are falling into the jade plate.

Congratulations! Your Spirit attribute has been improved!

Physical Strength: 5.7; Spirit: 3.9

"I didn't intend to increase my mental strength, but it has increased by 0.1 points without me even realizing it."

Looking at the improved mental attribute value on the panel, Shen Bailian gave a helpless bitter smile. Fortunately, he was in the city. For some reason, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much less.

Otherwise, if you accidentally attract the primordial energy of heaven and earth into your body, you will really suffer a great loss.

As for the additional 0.1 points of physical attribute value, it comes from the Longevity Elixir. As Shen Bailian expected, the Longevity Elixir's focus is not simply on enhancing physical strength, but on strengthening cell activity and enhancing potential.

In just two days, the physique attribute value naturally increased by 0.1 again.

Just as Shen Bailian was about to get home.

Buzz~buzz~
The smart bracelet vibrated. Shen Bailian picked it up and saw that the caller was an unknown number. Just as he was about to hang up, he saw a message from Aunt Lin.

"Hello."

"Xiao Shen, I am Dudu's father, Tang Guoxin."

Tang Guoxin sat on the sofa, browsing Shen Bailian's profile on the screen. The more he looked, the more shocked he became, and he also felt a sense of regret and worry.

If only I had listened to my wife and signed the contract earlier, wouldn't things have been much better?
However, things aren't bad now. Other companies don't have his connections; they can directly contact Shen Bailian.

"Um, Uncle Tang, what's up with your call?"

Shen Bailian stopped, somewhat puzzled. Why was this person suddenly looking for him? After all, they weren't familiar with each other. Could it be related to Xinghe Company?

"Xiao Shen, it's like this, I reported your performance today to our company headquarters."

"Xiao Shen, I've applied for a B-level investment agreement for you, which is equivalent to a mid-level B-level training contract that a martial arts school can offer. I'll send it to you first."

Tang Guoxin looked quite uneasy. He continued, "You can take a quick look first, and then make a decision."

hum~
The smart bracelet trembled slightly. Shen Bailian looked down and, sure enough, found an extra file in the Starlink system.

Shen Bailian clicked on the link and quickly began browsing.

This contract is quite extensive, covering a wide range of aspects, and offers very generous rewards and resources. It also includes information that he currently lacks most: the path of a martial artist.

The foundation of a martial artist begins with a martial arts apprenticeship, where one explores their own potential and strengthens their body to build a solid foundation.

The foundation of a martial artist lies in establishing one's destiny (body tempering), using the primordial energy of heaven and earth to temper one's body and internal organs, enabling one to initially utilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and to initially withstand attacks from small firearms such as pistols and rifles.

Upon reaching the Ascending Tower (Transcendental) Realm, one absorbs the primordial energy of heaven and earth, transforming other forces into one's own, standing tall in the sky, able to traverse the void, wielding immense force of hundreds of tons, and formally stepping onto the path to godhood, enjoying a lifespan of two hundred years.

The Sea-Opening Realm involves compressing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to create an ocean of primordial energy.
Embracing the Moon (Golden Core) Realm.
However, after pondering for a moment, Shen Bailian realized that it wasn't so good after all.

This contract is essentially a performance-based agreement, with many restrictions imposed on it.

If the cultivation progress falls behind, or due to other factors, subsequent resources will be reduced, and the overall level may even be downgraded.

Furthermore, if one doesn't break through to the Transcendent Realm after graduating from university, they might have to work for Xinghe Company for another five years. Of course.

Their salaries and benefits are also among the best in their class, with an annual salary of at least several million.

However, Shen Bailian could understand all of this. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Based on his current performance, he was not yet qualified enough for Xinghe Company to offer him exceptional terms.

Compared to pure-blooded humans, those bloodline warriors are more stable.

After waiting for about a minute, Shen Bailian was still thinking.

"How about this?" Tang Guoxin pursed his lips and said with a smile, "The competition isn't over yet, so you should focus on it first. If you can achieve a higher ranking, I can help you apply for a higher-level investment agreement."

"But I can guarantee that in this northern region, our Star River Company is absolutely the most suitable choice."

Tang Guoxin adopted a strategy of retreating to advance, avoiding directly mentioning time limits or applying pressure, and instead aiming to leave a good impression first.

"Thank you, Uncle Tang."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Lin treated him well, hiring him as a tutor at the highest price when he needed money the most. He will never forget this kindness.

If I were to refuse outright, it would be somewhat disregarding our past relationship.

"Okay, Xiao Shen, I'll hang up now. You can focus on preparing for the martial arts competition. Dudu and I will be there to cheer you on tomorrow."

"Ah."

Shen Bailian nodded, hung up the phone, and smiled as he looked at the sunset in the west.

If this had happened a month earlier, he would most likely have already signed this Class B investment agreement.

However, things are different now. Shen Bailian's vision is much broader now, and his goals are higher. Looking across the entire Great Xia, there are only a few hundred people who can qualify to apply for the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed.

When evenly distributed among the cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, each city would have only a handful of people.

Shen Bailian was one of these people, but he couldn't reveal it until it was truly confirmed.

Otherwise, Tang Guoxin would probably go crazy and apply for the highest-level S-class investment agreement for him immediately.

Shen Bailian is determined to win first place!
"Do you regret it now?"

Lin Baiwei nestled in her husband's arms, looked up, and said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"I do regret it a little." Tang Guoxin nodded, hugging the lovely girl in his arms tighter. Seeing Dudu playing with dolls in the distance, his eyes lit up and he immediately came up with an idea:
"Does our daughter miss Bai Lian?"

"Hey, stop."

Lin Baiwei frowned, immediately sat up alertly, waved to interrupt Tang Guoxin, and continued, "Don't even think about using our daughter as an intermediary. Xiao Shen is a good kid, we can't add any more pressure to him at this crucial moment of the Martial Arts Tournament."

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Guoxin tapped his wife's fair forehead and said, "What I mean is, let's switch seats tomorrow and take the opportunity to let Dudu meet her Bailian brother."

"It's that simple?"

“That’s right.” Tang Guoxin’s face tightened, and he continued, “What are you thinking? Our daughter is so young, I’m not an animal.”

"Furthermore, which company in the Northern Territory can offer a higher price than our Galaxy Company?"

"Too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Baiwei nodded in agreement. Xinghe Company was indeed a leading company in the Northern Territory, and it had always offered very generous treatment and conditions to its employees.

"Okay, you should tell your daughter first."
