Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 4 Five Hearts Facing the Sky

Logically speaking...

The recruitment contract can only be issued after approval from the Jiangnan headquarters.

However, as the head instructor of the Extreme Club, Wu Tong has a special right: he can independently assess the comprehensive potential of trainees and use this to offer early recruitment contracts to trainees with potential.

Of course, this contract can only be a standard one.

That is, 20 million in start-up capital, a detached villa, and a 50 million purchase quota specifically for buying secret manuals, movement techniques, and guiding techniques.

If you want to increase the contract amount, it must be reviewed and approved by the head office manager.

and.

Although he had privileges, Wu Tong could not use them recklessly.

After issuing the early recruitment contract, Wu Tong also needs to report to the Jiangnan headquarters. If it is ultimately found that the potential trainees he identified have not demonstrated the expected potential (falsification), this privilege will be revoked for the next two years, and he will also be subject to corresponding punishment.

But Wu Tong felt that this privilege was especially worthwhile when it was applied to Luo Shen!

After hearing the contract terms offered by Wu Tong, Luo Shen naturally agreed.

Although the contract amount is not as large as the one Zhuge Tao gave Luo Feng, he has not shown any outstanding performance in any other aspect besides demonstrating excellent physical strength.

What more could you want?

Upon receiving the reply, Wu Tong immediately submitted an application to headquarters and printed out the contract text.

After Luo Shen and the other trainees who had passed the assessment signed the martial arts combat assessment application contract and learned the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method, Wu Tong returned with the contract.

"Come on, Luo Shen, sign here."

Amidst envious glances from the crowd, Luo Shen received the recruitment contract from Wu Tong.

I flipped through it casually.

The document consists of only a few thin pages, containing a limited number of clauses, each described in simple and easy-to-understand language to make it readily clear.

Swish swish swish~

Luo Shen, unaware of any problems, signed his name directly.

The contract is made in duplicate.

One copy needed to be returned to the Jiangnan headquarters for filing, while the other copy was kept for Luo Shen himself.

Wu Tong laughed and said, "From today onwards, we're family. When are you planning to move? Are you going to Mingyue Residential Area or Wuzhe Residential Area in the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan?"

The initial funding for a martial artist can only be used after Luo Shen becomes a formal martial artist.

But detached villas are different.

If Luo Shen is willing, he can move in today.

Luo Shen glanced at Instructor Jiang Nian and Luo Feng, who were waiting nearby, and said with a smile, "Since Senior Brother Luo Feng and Uncle Wu are both in Mingyue Community, then I'll move here and be your neighbor."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong's smile deepened.

"Come on, let me show you the new house first, then I'll throw you a welcome-back lunch." Wu Tong called out to Jiang Nian, who was eagerly waiting nearby, and teased, "Old Jiang, stop looking, take Luo Shen to see the house, we'll have lunch together!"

Jiang Nian chuckled.

He turned to Luo Feng beside him and said, "See? I told you this kid would choose Mingyue Residential Area!"

Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

Because of Luo Shen, he realized that the power exerted by the body could also be applied to the legs, and his strength would definitely increase greatly afterward. Luo Feng's gaze towards this junior brother also held a different meaning.

He knew that Wu Tong was going to arrange a villa for Luo Shen.

A group of curious martial artists also joined in the fun, crowding around Luo Shen and Wu Tong as they walked into the residential area.

Because of the master-disciple relationship between Luo Shen and Luo Feng, when choosing a villa, Luo Shen's opinion was specifically consulted, and a villa No. 213, which was closest to Luo Feng's villa No. 199, was selected for him.

It's just diagonally behind Luo Feng's house, no more than ten meters away as the crow flies.

In response, Luo Feng jokingly invited, "Ah Shen, you must come visit my house after you move in!"

Judging from how they address each other, their relationship has become much closer.

That noon, under the leadership of Chief Instructor Wu Tong, Instructor Jiang Nian, Luo Feng, and some martial artists from Mingyue Community held a welcome banquet for Luo Shen. The enthusiastic crowd almost got Luo Shen drunk.

Fortunately, Wu Tong was concerned about Luo Shen's move and spoke up to dissuade him, which finally put the matter at ease.

It was evening.

With the help of the guards, Luo Shen was able to check into Villa No. 213.

********

It was late at night.

Luo Shen, dressed in loose training clothes, walked into the martial arts hall on the second floor.

This training hall is over 120 square meters, occupying more than half of the total area on the second floor. However, at this moment, the huge training hall is empty, without any equipment.

Having just moved into Mingyue Community and not yet becoming a formal martial artist, Luo Shen didn't have enough money to buy those expensive auxiliary training equipment.

But Luo Shen didn't care. He found a spot and sat down cross-legged.

They struck a pose with their five hearts facing the sky.

Gene Energy Cultivation Method, also known as the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Method.

This is the only method on Earth for cultivating genetic energy, and it is also the foundation of a martial artist's power!

By absorbing the wisps of free energy in the universe and integrating them into every cell of the body, one can cultivate genetic energy, thereby continuously optimizing genes and causing bones, cells, blood, internal organs, skin, and so on to evolve and improve!

Once you meet the physical requirements for a martial artist, you can begin to try cultivating your genetic energy.

But you can try to cultivate it.

There is still some difference between that and truly succeeding in cultivation.

After all, in order to absorb cosmic energy, you must first sense its existence.

Those with strong physical abilities and powerful consciousness can usually sense cosmic energy on their first day of cultivation, but it is not so easy for martial artists with weak talent to sense cosmic energy.

Luo Shen adjusted his breathing and maintained the posture of facing upwards.

Without the cheat system, Luo Shen's talent alone would only be considered average, a mediocre person. But fortunately, he was diligent enough and had the help of the cheat system, which enabled him to improve his physical fitness to the level of a martial artist in just a few months.

"Exhale, inhale," Luo Shen tried to slow his breathing and let his body gradually relax.

Before long, Luo Shen entered a state of deep concentration, as if he had completely 'emptied his mind,' and his consciousness immediately 'captured' the wandering cosmic energy!

"Hmm, you sensed it so quickly?"

Luo Shen was only slightly distracted, and soon put the matter out of his mind.

Once you sense the energy of the universe, the rest becomes much simpler.

Sensing the hazy aura swirling around the five centers of his body, Luo Shen could even feel it slowly flowing into his palms, soles, and Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, though at a very slow pace.

"absorb!"

Luo Shen intentionally guided the cool aura, causing the five points of his body to simultaneously emit the thought of absorption.

"Whoosh~" In an instant, like a flood bursting its banks, the originally flowing energy suddenly became fierce, like a landslide and tsunami, rushing wildly into the body through the five heart channels.

A large amount of cosmic energy surged into his body and was continuously absorbed by the mitochondria in his cells. At the same time, it was transformed into a kind of "genetic energy". This energy was then absorbed by various parts of the cells, causing tremendous changes to the entire cell. Luo Shen's body was also rapidly evolving.

The skin, muscles, bones, and even every cell deep within, and even the genes themselves, undergo subtle changes. These changes represent the evolution of life and an optimization of the genes!

At the same time, the attribute panel in his mind kept popping up with the message "Five Hearts Facing the Sky Technique, Proficiency +1".
