Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 52 Earth's First Constant Star

Rumble~

Accompanied by rolling thunder.

As June began, the Central China Base City was hit by its first rainstorm of the month. The torrential rain quickly formed a curtain of rain, shrouding the entire base city in a hazy mist. Under the scouring of the rain, the windows of the high-rise buildings became blurred as if covered in fog.

at this time.

Inside the conference hall of the Yanfeng Martial Arts Building.

Shen Ping's expression was solemn. "The important thing about the Yanfeng Halls established in each base city is not the number of martial artists, but their quality. Although our martial arts hall is newly established, we cannot just appoint instructors to the hall. In addition to strength, they must have a good understanding of swordsmanship and movement techniques."

"With gene serum, physical fitness can be improved sooner or later, but swordsmanship, movement techniques and other realms cannot be improved with gene serum. This aspect must be strictly controlled. The martial arts school does not lack gene serum, and in the future it will not even lack war gods. What it lacks are good seedlings with excellent talent and potential."

The president of the Yanfeng Guild in Jiangnan Base City hurriedly stood up. "Master, I failed in my duty. When I return, I will definitely arrange the instructors strictly according to your instructions."

Shen Ping looked at Chairman Cheng. The man had a good relationship with Qin Shan. He was among the first wave of martial artists to take the gene serum and had now reached the level of a War God. So, out of respect for Qin Shan, he handed over the important position of Chairman of the Jiangnan Base City to him.

As a result, in less than a month, the Jiangnan base city received a lot of negative news, and many martial artists did not approve of the instructors they had appointed.

In fact, the position of instructor in the martial arts school is mostly held by retired or disabled martial artists in the two major martial arts schools. However, Yanfeng Martial Arts School was newly established and attached great importance to the selection of instructors. Moreover, the position offers very generous benefits, so it has attracted much attention, which is why there is controversy.

If we really look into it closely...

Chairman Cheng wasn't entirely wrong; it's just that his mindset hadn't changed.

"This will not be repeated."

"Yes, Master."

After Chairman Cheng sat down.

Shen Ping looked at the other branch owners and instructors and continued, "In two months, it will be the martial arts combat assessment for each base city. You need to prepare in advance. Some outstanding martial arts talents have already emerged. Don't just wait until after the combat assessment to recruit them. Also, there are mentalists. As long as you find them, no matter what the treatment is, you must recruit them to our martial arts school."

"Yes, Master!"

After the meeting.

On the corridor back to the office.

Qin Shan, standing beside Shen Ping, sighed, "It was my oversight; Lao Cheng isn't suited to manage a club."

Shen Ping shook his head. "It's not your fault. Our martial arts school has too few people available right now, there's nothing we can do about it. And there will definitely be all sorts of problems at the beginning, we just need to solve them. By the way, Mu Yang hasn't been to the martial arts school for a while, how is he?"

Speaking of Muyang.

Qin Shan smiled slightly. "This kid is honing his skills in the wilderness. He just talked to me a few days ago and said he'll reach the God of War level in about half a month."

Shen Ping immediately laughed, "Not bad. Although gene serums can greatly improve physical fitness, to break through so quickly means you've put in a lot of hard work."

Qin Shan nodded and said, "Zhou Qiang and Yu Tai are almost there too. After they break through, the base city halls in North China and West China should also be established. At that time, we will let them serve as the presidents."

The two talked as they returned to the office.

After drinking a cup of tea.

Shen Ping looked at Qin Shan and continued, "As for you, you should have fully digested the gene serum you took last time, right?"

"Yes, it has been completely absorbed. My punching power has slowed down recently."

"Then let's take the SS-level gene serum and strive to reach the peak of the God of War by the end of the year. The martial arts school also needs an inspector."

SS-grade gene serums are extremely valuable, so Qin Shan didn't say anything pretentious and immediately agreed, "Okay."

After Qin Shan left.

Shen Ping walked to the window and looked at the rain outside. His heart gradually calmed down. In the past six months, he had made good progress in his cultivation. Although he had not continued to absorb Locke Divine Water, after digesting most of the energy he had stored before, his genetic energy had broken through to the fifth level of the planetary level.

"I can continue using the Rock Miracle Water at the end of the month!"

If he were to disregard the improvement of his foundation, he could break through to the ninth level of the planetary level within a few years, but that would damage his foundation and be a losing proposition.

However, the auxiliary plant, the Flame Star Flower, is different. It doesn't have any foundation. After reaching the eighth level of the Planetary level, its absorption and digestion capabilities have increased significantly. Moreover, even if it can't absorb anything, it can break its leaves and some roots to protect the main vine. So as long as there is Locke's Divine Water, it can continue to improve.

Open the virtual window.

The font shown above is from April, and it still represents a basic improvement reward.

"My swordsmanship and movement techniques have reached the sixth level and the sixth stage respectively, but unfortunately I didn't receive any extra rewards these two times."

He turned around.

Sitting in an office chair.

He rubbed his temples and pondered. Now that the family's development in all aspects has entered a stable phase, it is unlikely that it will receive the same high praise as before in the short term. This was within his expectations, after all, every development has a period of stability.

dong dong.

The knocking on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in."

soon.

The office door opened.

Secretary Lin walked in, her high heels clicking. She had been transferred to the martial arts school because the school was short-staffed, and this secretary was very capable, so he had his wife transfer Lin Jing over.

"Master, the heads of the Zheng and Xu families have made appointments to see you. Shall we arrange a meeting with them?"

If it were the Zheng family head in the past, he would definitely have met him. But now his status is different. Of course, if it were a private visit, he would meet him for a meal and a chat. But in this formal setting, to be honest, Shen Ping doesn't want to meet him.

The other party came with the Xu family patriarch, and they were simply lobbyists sent by the HR Alliance to try and secure a share of SS-level gene potions.

"No need."

"Yes, Master."

We returned to the villa in the evening.

He walked into the training hall and glanced at the Flame Star Flower. Its main vine had grown to 23 vines, and its flame-colored leaves were densely packed. The leaves looked like flame blades, with barbs on the surface that were extremely sharp.

I sensed Shen Ping's presence.

The Flame Star Flower affectionately curled its leaves and rubbed against Shen Ping's body.

"This little guy's growth is truly astonishing. Once he breaks through 24 main vines, he'll reach the Hengxing level. At this rate, he might break through by the end of the month!"

He stroked the Flame Star Flower. Once a plant recognizes its master, it will not betray him; it is his most important companion and support partner.

The days passed by.

June is almost over.

It was late at night.

Shen Ping entered the gravity chamber and consumed Locke's Divine Water again. As the incomparably pure life force surged into his body, his genetic energy increased wildly, and his bones, muscles, and deep cells underwent continuous changes.

It lasted for almost an hour.

He slowly opened his eyes.

It's at planetary level six.

Before he could even feel joy, the Flame Star Flower, which was soaking in the Locke Divine Water, began to transform.
