Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 35 The Wind Rises

Ancheng.

One of the base cities in Central China.

On May 8th, at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym in Tianfeng Community, He Yong, who had already reached the intermediate level of martial arts master, was greeting other martial artists as usual when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar face. He quickly stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Old Hu, you've been coming to the gym more and more often lately. What's wrong? Are you planning to retire early like me?"

The martial artist surnamed Hu laughed and said, "I'm a bachelor, why would I retire so early? Besides, I haven't killed enough monsters in the wilderness yet."

He Yong couldn't help but find it strange. "If you're not going to retire, then what are you doing at the martial arts gym? At our age, our potential has long been exhausted, and training won't help us improve. Instead of wasting your time, you should go to the HR Alliance Mall and pick up a few girls. Maybe you can bring one home."

"You're always pressuring me to settle down."

The martial artist surnamed Hu glared at He Yong with annoyance. "As for why I came to the martial arts school, it's naturally to test my punching power."

"Testing your punching power?"

"Old Hu, with your physical condition that hasn't improved in the last few months, is there any need for testing?"

The two had a good relationship and often teased each other, neither of them caring. In the past, the martial artist surnamed Hu would have definitely teased back, but this time he smiled mysteriously and said, "Whether it's necessary or not, you'll find out in a moment."

talking.

He walked toward the punching power testing machine.

He Yong wondered, "What's this guy up to?"

He muttered to himself and followed.

soon.

The martial artist surnamed Hu stood in front of the punching power testing machine, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He had been training back and forth between the martial arts gym and the wilderness area for the past two months without interruption. Whether the money he had spent was worth it depended on this moment.

call.

I took a deep breath.

He arched his body, lowered his waist, and then slammed his fist heavily onto the punching bag.

boom!

The sound of a sonic boom echoed out.

The data on the punching power tester kept soaring, finally stopping at 35100 kg.

I saw the data.

The martial artist surnamed Hu clenched his fists excitedly!

He Yong, standing next to him, widened his eyes instantly, staring intently at the numbers.

A punch with the force of 35,000.

This is already the level of a high-ranking warrior's punching power. Although it's only the lowest level, it's still a high-ranking warrior even at the lowest level!

I came to my senses.

He Yong looked at the martial artist surnamed Hu with shock on his face. "Old Hu, what kind of powerful medicine did you take? You actually surpassed the level of a high-level warrior. Quick, throw two more punches."

Even if He Yong doesn't say it.

The martial artists surnamed Hu all began to continue testing.

The data for the next two punches was around 35,000.

See here.

He Yong was no longer calm. His eyes gleamed as he asked, "Old Hu, if I remember correctly, you had your punching power tested at the martial arts gym a few months ago. It was around 26,000 kilograms, right? In just a few months, your punching power has increased by nearly 10,000 kilograms! My god, what did you buy?"

The martial artist surnamed Hu laughed heartily, "Are you still going to make fun of me now?"

He Yong hurriedly said, "Old Hu, hurry up, I'll just bring out that bottle of treasured old wine from home tonight."

The martial artist surnamed Hu's eyes lit up, and his stomach rumbled with the urge to drink. "You said it yourself, let's go find a secluded spot."

The two sat down at a coffee shop near the residential area.

Seeing the martial artist surnamed Hu calmly call for a waiter, He Yong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets with anxiety.

"I bought gene-editing agents."

Upon hearing this...

He Yong frowned. "Old Hu, I know about gene therapy, but its effects shouldn't be this strong."

Although gene serums have side effects, most martial artists don't care, because if they're going to buy them, it means they can't improve themselves.

The martial artist surnamed Hu lowered his voice, "It's not the kind available on the market, but a new type of gene serum. It's said to have come from the ruins of an ancient civilization. After taking it, one can be promoted to a high-level warrior within a year, and even become a high-level warrior close to a god of war."

He Yong's eyes widened. "An ancient civilization's relic potion? Really?"

The martial artist surnamed Hu shook his head. "How would I know? But its effects are truly potent. I didn't believe it at first, but the person who gave me the medicine was the captain of another team I'd dealt with for years. He said we could sign a contract to try it out first, so I took it with the idea of ​​giving it a shot. Who knew..."

At this point, his tone became excited, "In just two months, I gained nearly 10,000 kilograms."

He Yong was completely tempted. With the facts right in front of him, he hurriedly asked, "Do you still have this potion? How much does it cost?"

"Not expensive, only two billion Chinese yuan."

The martial artist surnamed Hu clenched his fists and grinned, saying, "I was initially reluctant to part with the money, but now it seems like it was well spent. Even if the price doesn't increase in the future, with my current physical condition, I should be able to recoup my investment in a year or two at most!"

"Old He, I'm only telling you this because of our years of friendship. There's definitely not much of this medicine available. Buy it quickly. If you don't have enough money, borrow it. If that doesn't work, take out a loan."

Without hesitation, He Yong said, "I'll buy it!"

……

Not only in Ancheng, but also in other garrison cities of the Huazhong base city, as well as in the urban area, two months after the news of the gene serum spread in a small circle, it began to ferment at a hurricane speed. After all, its effects were too strong, and martial artists simply could not resist it. Any martial artist who heard the news and saw the effects of the serum was eager to buy it even if it meant going bankrupt.

A super large villa in Lishui District.

A spacious balcony on the third floor.

Shen Ping was soaking in the pool when he answered Qin Shan's call.

"Old Shen, we have twenty orders from martial artists today. Do you have enough stock?"

Qin Shan smiled and said that in just eight days since March, the number of martial artists seeking to purchase C-grade gene serums has increased dramatically.

Shen Ping replied, "Don't worry, Captain, it's enough, definitely enough."

Hear this.

Qin Shan felt much more at ease. He hesitated for a moment and then reminded him, "The number of people seeking to buy martial arts skills will increase as time goes on. Old Shen, you'd better be prepared. Money is secondary. The most important thing is that once the news spreads, all the major forces around the world will probably come running, including even those powerful politicians."

"This medicine will have a huge impact. With our limited strength, we simply can't protect it. The best way is to find a powerful force to cooperate with."

Shen Ping said solemnly, "I understand. In a while, I plan to contact the military and the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. As long as we reach an agreement, the other councilors won't dare to make any rash moves."

Qin Shan nodded. "It's good that you understand."

End communication.

Shen Ping got up from the bath, changed his clothes, and went to the martial arts hall. The martial arts hall in the villa in Lishui District was larger and had more complete facilities than that in Nanyuan Community.

He first practiced his swordsmanship for two hours, reviewing the Ninefold Thunder Blade technique he had mastered several times. After consuming a large amount of energy in his body, he quickly cultivated the guiding technique to absorb the pure energy of the Wood Crystal.

Chi Chi.

The superior quality of the Muya Crystal's energy not only nourished his body but also his spirit.

More than ten minutes passed.

The body's cells have reached saturation in absorption.

"As expected of Mu Yajing, at this rate of cultivation, I'll be able to reach the second level of the Planetary Realm in another month or two. Then I can casually reveal my true strength!"
