Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Upon recognizing the person, Cheng Zhuo's eyes lit up:

"Was it Huangfu Bai who sent you?"

He clearly remembered what Huangfu Bai had said.

His bodyguards can help him achieve a second awakening!

"That's right."

Without any further pleasantries, the bodyguard in black responded in a low voice, "My surname is Gao. Let's find a quiet place to talk. There are some things I need to make clear beforehand."

"Okay, Uncle Gao."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhuo immediately contacted Catherine and borrowed a quiet room.

Just as the two turned the corner of the dormitory corridor, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

The newcomer had long, wavy red hair reaching her waist, fair skin, and a dazzlingly full chest. Her tight-fitting, fiery red combat uniform accentuated her curvaceous figure.

She has the face of a twenty-year-old, yet she exudes a captivating and alluring mature woman's charm.

It was Rosa, the noble daughter of the city lord.

"Cheng Zhuo, it's so hard to see you."

Her voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of affected allure.

Cheng Zhuo stopped and nodded slightly:

"Miss Rosa."

"How about you consider signing with our Sacred Beast? I can help you clear high-star Void Realms."

Rosa got straight to the point.

Cheng Zhuo shook his head. "Sorry, I have no plans to sign with a guild right now."

Rosa added, "With an A-level contract, I can help you clear high-star Void Realms."

Upon hearing this, even Lao Gao, who had remained silent the whole time, glanced at him slightly, wondering to himself:

Did she know I was going to help Cheng Zhuo awaken a second time?

Cheng Zhuo raised an eyebrow slightly.

A genuine look of surprise flashed across his eyes—

He was well aware that most of the online comments about him were:

With its immediate combat power provided by enhancement potions and legendary meditation skills, it has little potential and can only be used to harass newbies.

"I'm really curious..." Cheng Zhuo tilted his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry:

"What makes you think, Miss Rosa, that I deserve an A-level contract?"

"intuition."

Rosa suddenly leaned closer, and a delicate fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

Her body was almost pressed against Cheng Zhuo's, her watery eyes narrowed as she stared at his face, as if trying to dig the answer out of his eyes:

"Honestly, haven't we met somewhere before?"

This tactic seems familiar; shouldn't it be the kind of fishing game the Sea King uses?

Cheng Zhuo's lips curled into a faint smile:

"Given Miss Rosa's reputation, I have certainly seen you in many places, but you probably haven't seen me before. Thank you for the invitation, but I have important matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

After saying that, he gestured to Lao Gao, and the two continued walking towards the quiet room.

Rosa frowned slightly and pressed on:

"Aren't you really going to consider it? The signing fee for an A-level contract is a hundred million."

"I might consider S-rank, but A-rank is out of the question."

Cheng Zhuo's voice came from afar.

"strangeness……"

Rosa hugged her breasts, gazing at Cheng Zhuo's tall, receding figure, and murmured:

Why does it feel so strangely familiar?

She paused for a moment, then dialed a number saved as "Teacher Turtle":

"Teacher, I saw Cheng Zhuo."

"What do you mean? Is he willing to bring Xia Chan to sign with our guild?" An old voice came from the other side.

"He refused." Rosa pouted.

The conversation suddenly shifted, taking a tentative turn:

"Do you think it's possible for us to offer them both S-level contracts?"

"Child, Level A is the highest level of authority I can give you. Don't act recklessly."

The voice from that side deepened:

"S-rank isn't just about costs and resources; it also involves various city-state privileges and Abyss battles, affecting the entire guild's status..."

"Oh, I know, please stop nagging."

Rosa interrupted impatiently, then asked suspiciously:

"You said, why did I feel a strange sense of familiarity when I first saw him in the video? It's like... we've known each other for a long time. Is there really no way you can help me recover my memories of that time in the Burial Origin Realm? I feel like I might have seen him there before."

"Silly child." The other person sounded slightly helpless.

"You're confused. Cheng Zhuo just entered the newbie realm last time. How could you have seen him in last year's realm?"

"Well, that's true." Rosa sighed.

"Is it possible that he's a Dragon Walker? We're only missing one of the Four Walkers... wait, that's not right, the Sacred Beast Treasury hasn't reacted at all..."

"Hahaha."

An aged laugh came through the receiver, tinged with amusement:

"Little girl, I think you've reached the age where you should be dating. Putting everything else aside, this young man named Cheng Zhuo is indeed handsome. Are you smitten?"

"Teacher~"

……

……

"Do you know how weapon cards are obtained?"

Quiet room.

As soon as the two sat down, Lao Gao asked a basic question about the junior high school source card course.

Cheng Zhuo replied skillfully:

"In the seven years of Hunting Ruins, Master Moshan created the first Source Power weapon with an embedded card. Since then, weapon cards have begun to appear in Blind Core or Lighthouse rewards. In the thirty-five years of Hunting Ruins, Master Moshan researched the principle of weapon cards and artificial weapon cards were officially launched."

"Then tell me again, what is the manufacturing principle of artificial weapon cards or supply cards?" Lao Gao asked again.

Although it's unclear what this has to do with the second awakening.

But Cheng Zhuo still recalled what he had learned and answered earnestly:

"The Nen Master profession extracts spatial energy from cards to create blank cards, then the card maker guides the energy to couple the energy weapon with the blank card..."

"That's right. Whether it's the initial weapon cards or the later resource cards, it's as if there's a force monitoring everything. Every time humanity makes a breakthrough with the source cards, 'He' updates the cards in the Lighthouse rewards or the blind core. 'He' can easily replicate any new card created by humanity."

Following Cheng Zhuo's words, Lao Gao suddenly changed the subject, his tone revealing a strange sense of pride:

"However, there is a type of card that humans have been unable to successfully replicate since it was created."

Cheng Zhuo was slightly taken aback. "What card?"

"Ancient Martial Arts Meditation Card!"

Old Gao mentioned a card name that Cheng Zhuo had never heard of before.

"Is it about incorporating ancient martial arts moves into cards, allowing players to master skills like 'Lingbo Weibu' and 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms'?" Cheng Zhuo asked tentatively, somewhat excitedly.

"That's one way to understand it," Lao Gao nodded slightly and explained to Cheng Zhuo.

"The Ancient Martial Arts Meditation Card is similar to the Weapon Card and the Material Card. It is also a blank card that is separated from the source card and coupled with an ancient martial arts heritage. However, the difference is that the Ancient Martial Arts Meditation Card is a breathing meditation card that is separated from the source card."

"So, the Ancient Martial Arts Meditation Card, like the Breathing Meditation Card, can be integrated into the source? Stimulate a secondary awakening through this power?" Cheng Zhuo's eyes lit up.

"That's one way to understand it, but not entirely."

Old Gao shook his head, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table as he sorted out his logic:

"To be precise, it's that a new cultivation system that combines ancient martial arts and source power has been integrated into your Origin Card. It can change the potential of your Origin Card, but in fact, your Origin Skill and Origin Potential have not changed. The potential of the Origin Card reflects your potential in ancient martial arts cultivation. This is what I want to tell you. The 'awakening' that the young master mentioned is not the same as the second awakening you mentioned."

He paused, then said:

"This training system is called—Ancient Martial Arts Origin."
