It looks like it's covered with a layer of black and white mosaic.

Even so, Jiang Zhe was still surprised.

That's a universal law, something many powerful beings with domains might not even be able to sense!

To give an analogy, imagine there's a tree ten miles ahead (a universal law). Others can only vaguely see it with a telescope (a domain), but you can see it directly with your naked eyes.

"After I break through to the planetary level and can project my primal energy, will I immediately possess a domain? Like the Golden Horned Beast that ascends to the cosmic level, with its unique advantages?"

It has to be said that the fact that Divine Crystals can increase basic comprehension is truly heaven-defying!

Moreover, it should be noted that this may only be a minor side effect.

"My darling! My darling!"

Jiang Zhe held the divine crystal, unable to put it down.

But before he could rejoice for long, the soul transformation caused by the divine crystal directly triggered another potential within his soul.

Within the primordial core, the agitation of the dark golden psychic sphere could be clearly sensed.

"Oh no, this time my psychic powers are really about to awaken!"

Jiang Zhe dared not stay in the original core any longer, fearing he would miss this small opportunity. He placed the divine crystal on the stone table and left his inner world.

Move the pronucleus to the Crimson Palace and wait quietly.

This time it didn't start with a headache, because the soul wasn't in the sea of ​​consciousness in the brain at all, but was stored in the original nucleus.

An extremely powerful energy surged from the primordial core, instantly coursing through Jiang Zhe's entire body and transforming his physique to adapt to the burst of mental power.

The whole process was almost like torture.

Jiang Zhe's entire body was flushed red, with beads of sweat seeping out, and even blood sweat seeping from his pores, staining his plain pajamas red. The bulging blue veins on his body resembled small snakes, which was quite terrifying.

Energy is continuously output from the protocore, giving Jiang Zhe a baptism.

The entire body—skin, blood, muscles, bones, lungs, and internal organs—is undergoing transformation!

Cell division and evolution!

The speed of physical transformation is hundreds or thousands of times faster than cultivating genetic energy.

Fortunately, that surging energy was not only responsible for the transformation, but also for the aftermath.

So Jiang Zhe only looked miserable; in fact, all his injuries were external, with no internal injuries whatsoever.

Without the most unbearable headache, Jiang Zhe proved himself to be a tough guy, managing to withstand the excruciating pain of his flesh being torn apart without losing consciousness.

Although... it's pretty useless. Not fainting won't affect the transformation process, and fainting might even make things easier...

Midway through, the eldest brother, Jiang Wen, arrived at the courtyard. Smelling the blood, he kicked open the door and saw Jiang Zhe sitting cross-legged on the living room floor, covered in blood. He panicked and hurriedly tried to pick him up and take him to the infirmary.

Jiang Zhe was still conscious and spoke up to stop his older brother's actions.

After confirming several times that his cousin was not injured, Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried. He made a phone call to arrange company affairs and stayed by his side.

The physical transformation lasted for about two hours, during which the pain lessened and eventually disappeared.

Aside from looking a bit disheveled, Jiang Zhe felt better than ever before. He stood up from the ground and stretched his limbs.

"I'm going to take a shower first, this sticky feeling is so uncomfortable."

"Well, you've successfully awakened, haven't you?" Jiang Wen couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Zhe smiled, his gaze sweeping around, summoning an invisible force that caused the sofa, coffee table, rocking chair, corner cabinet... all the furniture in the living room to float off the ground.

"Great! Great! Excellent!" Jiang Wen's face flushed red, even more excited than Jiang Zhe himself. "This is fantastic news, I have to tell Grandpa and the others."

Jiang Wen hurriedly walked to the windowsill and dialed a number using his communication watch.

Jiang Zhe lowered the furniture from the air, went back to the bedroom to get a clean set of modern-style Hanfu, and went into the bathroom.

……

A moment later, the two brothers started chatting across the bathroom partition.

"Xiao Zhe, now the whole world knows that the Jiang family has produced a sixteen-year-old martial artist and mentalist, and he has taken all the benefits on Earth."

Jiang Zhe: "???"

Then, Jiang Wen recounted the story of the "Rich Women's Mahjong Group" in detail.

Jiang Zhe's lips twitched.

You three are truly my own mother and aunt!

So, the reason he rushed off the party halfway through last night was because he was in a hurry to stab me in the back...

Oh well, it's not a big problem.

Only geniuses without a background need to play it safe and develop their talents. With the Jiang family as their backing, being a little flamboyant can actually bring unexpected benefits.

For example, there are two invitations to elite training camps from two major martial arts schools on the coffee table in the living room.

The Jiang family still has a way to get a spot in the elite training camp of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy.

There's absolutely no way to secure a spot in the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's training camp.

Aside from vying for the only spot in the HR Alliance each year, the only options are to spend money and pull strings, or join an extreme martial arts gym.

But now, I only need to make a slight move and demonstrate the limits of this age group, and two invitations will fly in and be delivered to my door.

Jiang Zhe thought smugly.

Jiang Wen asked, "Several councilors have sent messages wanting to take you as their apprentice. Among them, the top councilors are Jia Yi and East. What are your thoughts, Grandpa?"

"Can't Grandpa teach me himself?"

"Of course, my dad, second uncle, and third uncle were all taught by my grandfather, which is enough to prove his teaching ability." Jiang Wen's usually calm tone revealed a rare hint of pride.

Jiang Zhe laughed and said, "Grandpa's teaching is enough for me. I won't take any powerful figure on Earth as my master."

"Brother Zhe, what high aspirations you have! In your eyes, even Hong, the strongest person on Earth, isn't worthy of being your teacher?"

"It's not a question of whether I'm worthy or not; that would be disrespectful to Hong," Jiang Zhe said earnestly. "It's hard to say about martial arts, but with my talent as a mentalist, the gap between my strength and Hong's isn't too great. He can't teach me anything."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

She added, "But the elite training camp run by Hong is very good, and I will go and check it out if I have the chance."

Jiang Zhe didn't say the second half of his sentence—he was mainly after the dragon blood, the ancient civilization's gravity chamber, and Hong Zhencang's Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

"You've made up your mind? You're turning down the Thunder Martial Arts Academy's invitation and choosing the Limit Martial Arts Academy instead?"

"Why refuse?"

Jiang Wen asked, puzzled, "Huh? What exactly do you mean?"

"I'm going to go to Thunder Martial Arts School first, then to Extreme Martial Arts School, to see what kind of people the members in their training camps are."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wen immediately understood, his eyes widening. "My God! You actually want to challenge them? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death?"

The last part was originally a joke, but Jiang Zhe took it seriously.

"Die? Perhaps. But that's the way of my martial arts: what doesn't kill me makes me stronger!"

Do you know what you're saying?

Jiang Wen's face was filled with disbelief.

He could actually sense the madness in his cousin's tone; he wasn't just talking big, he genuinely intended to practice his martial arts by risking his life in the future.

"I think it's necessary for your second brother to help you loosen up your muscles and calm you down."

In the bathroom, Jiang Zhe turned off the shower and shrugged.

Actually, he didn't want to either.

However, those who choose to cultivate the "Golden Blueprint for Human Life" must absorb "nutrients" from numerous life-or-death battles of sufficient value, and then combine this with internal cultivation methods to elevate their life's genetic level and undergo a complete transformation.

"The martial arts combat assessment is just a small test of my skills; hunting monsters is my 'long-term meal ticket'... and the students in the two training camps who are extremely close to becoming war gods are excellent 'harvested lambs'!"

……

Wearing a loose, simple Taoist robe, Jiang Zhe used his computer to look through the videos on the USB drive given to him by his second brother, preparing to choose some last-minute techniques suitable for him to hone his skills.

The main characters in each video are the first and second generations of the Jiang family, demonstrating gun techniques, knife techniques, whip techniques, fist techniques, claw techniques, body techniques, shield techniques... Jiang Zhe was dazzled by the sight and gained a clear understanding of his family's profound heritage.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Zhe finally chose a suitable goal and left the courtyard for the Chuanwu Hall.

An alloy tower, five stories high.

Jiang Zhe stood in front of the punching power testing machine for the third time, recalling the power generation techniques he had learned last night, and unleashed all his strength in this punch.

"Bang!"

"5235 kg!"

High Warrior!

Moreover, this level of punching power is not inferior even among high-level warriors.

Clang!

Jiang Wu dropped the horse-slaying sword in his hand, speechless with surprise, his eyes filled with astonishment and bewilderment.

If we place it in the novels Jiang Zhe read in his previous life, it would be enough to draw a pie chart representing the state of mind Jiang Wu had.

Sister Sisi's mouth was slightly open, as she sensed the malice of her junior coming toward her.

He was sixteen, I was twenty; he was a high-level warrior, I was a high-level warrior, so... where have I been all these years?

"This is the Spirit Master. Once awakened, they ascend to godhood. It's an unscrupulous class in the early stages, with ranged attack methods, agile mobility, the ability to fly, mind control, and even the ability to distract you with a mental attack and launch a surprise attack from the shadows. After you get close, they can switch to warrior form and give you a surprise..."

The diversity of the world led to the creation of a bible for martial artists in Jiang Sisi's mind.

After extending the indoor track, Jiang Zhe tested his speed again, reaching "67m/s". As long as he kills a high-level beast soldier, he can be rated as a "high-level warrior".
