Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 14 Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method

After Luo Xia completed the neural reaction test, the preliminary martial artist assessment was successfully completed. Of the nine people who came to take the assessment, only four passed.

Luo Feng, Luo Xia, Yang Wu, and a young man named Bai Yang.

This Bai Yang is the same young man in white that Luo Xia and Luo Feng saw in the small bar earlier.

"...After the assessment, there will be matters such as signing the practical assessment contract. However, your original instructors will be responsible for the rest."

Chief Instructor Wu Tong smiled at the silver-haired, black-robed man who had been standing at the edge and said, "Captain, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. Come on, let's go out."

team leader?

Luo Feng and the others were taken aback and looked at the silver-haired man in black robes. Wu Tong was the head of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Yangzhou City, holding a very high position. This silver-haired man in black robes was actually Wu Tong's "captain"?

This wasn't what surprised them the most.

What surprised Luo Feng and his companions the most was that they realized that if Wu Tong hadn't spoken up at this moment, they wouldn't have noticed this man at all since they entered the training hall.

It was as if he himself did not exist.

This feeling is terrifying.

If two sides were to fight, before they even exchanged blows, a single glance from the other side could cause someone to lose consciousness and become dazed. By the time they regained their senses, their heart might have been pierced through!

Who exactly is this silver-haired man in black robes?

Luo Feng and his companions were filled with astonishment and confusion.

Luo Xia wasn't too surprised, because as soon as he entered the training hall, he noticed the black-robed man in the corner due to his powerful mental strength.

He just kept quiet all along.

At this moment, the silver-haired man in black robes looked at Luo Xia and the others. In an instant, Luo Xia felt that the silver-haired man in black robes had eyes as vast as the starry sky. He was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses.

Luo Feng, standing next to Luo Xia, also snapped back to reality after a slight delay.

"What happened?"

Luo Feng noticed that after the man in black robes glanced at them, apart from him and his brother who quickly came to their senses, Yang Wu and Bai Yang next to him actually became dazed!

Seeing that Luo Xia had suddenly regained consciousness, and Luo Feng had woken up afterward, the silver-haired man in black robes couldn't help but glance at the two brothers in surprise.

"You two little ones have great talent! Keep up the good work!"

Immediately afterwards, the man in black robes smiled and encouraged Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

Wu Tong nodded in satisfaction, "Not only is her physical fitness up to par, but her willpower is also excellent! Very good!"

After saying that, he instructed the other instructors to handle the signing procedures, and then left the scene with the man in black.

At this moment, Yang Wu and Bai Yang finally woke up.

Yang Wu looked bewildered. "What happened? What just happened? It feels like I was in a dream..."

Bai Yang was also completely bewildered. "What happened to me? I felt like I was sleepwalking just now."

They exchanged a glance, then suddenly remembered what had just happened, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"That man in black robes was terrifying," Luo Feng whispered to Luo Xia. "I can't even remember what he looked like now, I only remember his eyes."

A glint flashed in Luo Xia's eyes as he replied, "Brother, that man in black robes was probably a psychic."

Luo Feng was startled, "A mentalist?"

If he remembered correctly, mentalists were the most unique and powerful type of martial artist, possessing incredible mental power.

They can manipulate objects remotely and launch mental attacks; there might not be even one mentalist among ten thousand martial artists.

Mentalists are extremely rare, and also extremely powerful!

His younger brother, Rorschach, seems to have the potential to become a psychopath!

Luo Feng remembered that when he was very young, he accidentally saw his younger brother pick up a pacifier from a distance. That seemed to be the telekinetic ability of a mentalist!

Thinking of this, Luo Feng couldn't help but glance at his younger brother.

Rorschach put his index finger to his lips and shushed him.

Luo Feng nodded discreetly and looked at Jiang Nian and the other instructors who were walking over. They said, "Alright, the four of you, come with us now to the training hall."

So a group of people walked out of the neurological reaction testing room and came to the martial arts training hall.

Immediately afterwards, the instructor from the North Post Office took out four contracts and said to Luo Xia and the others:

"This is a contract for the martial arts combat assessment."

"Once you participate in the martial arts combat assessment, if you are killed by a monster during the process, it has nothing to do with my Ultimate Martial Arts Academy!"

"Of course, the mortality rate in martial arts combat assessments is very low."

Luo Xia and his three companions took the contract and carefully read through its contents—this was something that concerned their lives and fortunes, so they had to take it seriously.

"The mortality rate is low, but the disability rate is high."

A bald, burly instructor spoke in a deep voice, explaining the details of the combat assessment to Luo Xia and his group—

"Your practical assessment will involve fighting monsters. Of course, the monsters you'll fight are the lowest level. When you actually go out to hunt monsters in dangerous areas on your own in the future, the danger will be far greater than this assessment. If you can't even pass this test, then you shouldn't be a martial artist."

Luo Xia and his elder brother Luo Feng exchanged a glance.

The contract is very simple. The general content is that if a participant is unfortunately killed or injured during the practical assessment, the Extreme Martial Arts Academy will not be held responsible.

"Sign it," Luo Feng said to Luo Xia.

Without hesitation, the two brothers immediately signed their names on the contract.

Yang Wu and Bai Yang, standing beside them, did not back down either, and signed their names on the contract. If it weren't for their desire to become martial artists, they wouldn't have come here.

Seeing that Luo Xia had signed the contract, Jiang Nian smiled and said:

"Alright. Today is July 1st. There's still a month until the practical assessment. You all need to prepare well during this month. Oh, by the way—"

As he spoke, he walked to the keyboard next to him and quickly pressed some buttons. Instantly, a huge transparent screen appeared on the wall of the training hall.

There is an article on the screen.

—The Genetic Energy Cultivation Method.

Also known as: The Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method.

"Back then, during the Great Nirvana, humans were infected with the RR virus and developed antibodies. This caused the body's genes to naturally change and optimize."

Jiang Nian said—

"When genes are optimized to a certain degree, they can absorb the traces of energy in the universe and integrate them into every cell of the body."

"During this process, genetic optimization, bones, cells, blood, internal organs, skin, and so on will continuously evolve!"

"Your bones can become ten or a hundred times harder than diamond, and your internal organs can be strong enough to hold your breath underwater for half an hour, or even longer!"

"All of this depends on you absorbing the energy of the universe, integrating it into every cell, and making it your own energy. That is—genetic energy!"

Jiang Nian pointed to the article on the screen: "This is the cultivation method for genetic energy—the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method!"

Rorschach looked at the article on the screen.

The Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method was made public worldwide as soon as it was created, in order to better discover talented martial artists, because it is the most basic cultivation method.

However, even the most basic training is not something everyone can do. One needs to reach the level of a quasi-martial artist in terms of physical fitness before they can begin training.

Above the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method, there are even more advanced guiding techniques. These guiding techniques are the closely guarded secrets among various forces and martial arts schools, and can only be obtained by paying a certain price!

Luo Xia had seen the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method online a long time ago, and even comprehended a more advanced guiding technique from it!

However, he had never practiced related techniques; he had always used body-strengthening techniques for cultivation.

Because he wants to solidify the foundation.

If you want a skyscraper to rise from the ground, you need to build a solid foundation!

He believed that once he had improved his foundation using body tempering techniques, he would be able to achieve a significant improvement when he began practicing the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method!
