2000kg power, Fireworks Stone!

“This strike reached: 1756kg!”

“This strike reached: 1765kg!”

“…”

The next morning, in the Martial Arts Cultivation room, Jiang Qing, stripped to the waist, continuously punched the strength testing device.

Solid muscles steamed with heat, and the reported values from each punch steadily climbed.

Each punch delivered nearly 2000kg of force, a terrifying degree of power sufficient to shatter a Physical Body if struck directly.

After a series of strikes, Jiang Qing's Physical Body activity was elevated to its peak. He retracted his fists and stood ready, poised to strike.

Crimson flame elements condensed in his hand, further amplifying the power within. Jiang Qing circulated his Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, and the Qi and blood in his hand erupted once more.

“Boom!”

“This strike reached: 2043kg!”

A lightning-fast punch, like an electric current, struck the rubber dummy. The reported value shocked even Jiang Qing.

“This is the true power a Martial Artist can unleash. When Qi and blood Cultivation and the Physical Body are equally emphasized, the power exerted is far greater than focusing on a single aspect!”

The Martial Arts Jiang Qing used just now was merely a High Grade Chen Rank Martial Arts, which was distributed along with the Cultivation Technique at the time. The power amplification was actually not much, and High Grade Chen Rank Martial Arts did not have any special power enhancements.

However, when using this Martial Arts just now, it provided Jiang Qing with a power amplification of a full 200kg!

These were all the benefits that a strong Physical Body brought to Jiang Qing.

An ordinary Rank Four Martial Artist, in their normal state without using Martial Arts, has a strength between 1200 and 1300kg.

Jiang Qing's normal strike already reached 1700kg, directly crushing others by a large margin.

This crushing advantage meant that Jiang Qing could easily fight above his Rank, unless the opponent was also a Martial Arts Genius like him, with both Physical Body and Qi and blood advancing together.

“Starting today, I have truly established my roots in Martial Arts. To be able to achieve the feat of crushing Martial Artists of the same Rank, I can truly be called a Martial Arts Genius.”

Jiang Qing clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

A normal strength of 1700kg, if he were to use even more powerful exclusive Martial Arts and secret techniques, the increase would be unimaginable to Jiang Qing.

It would probably be enough to make him unrivaled in the Martial Artist stage, especially since the two Cultivation Techniques he is currently Cultivating are Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, which allows his foundation to be extremely solid.

As his Cultivation gradually increases, Jiang Qing's foundation will only become more solid. At that time, he will not only be invincible among those of the same Rank but even be able to fight above his Rank.

“Ding-a-ling!”

Just as Jiang Qing was lost in thought, his phone on the nearby table vibrated with a message.

Jiang Qing picked up his phone and saw messages continuously flashing in the class group. It was a message from the homeroom teacher, Chen Hai.

[Chen Hai]: This year's college entrance examination pep rally will be held the day after tomorrow at 12 PM at the school. At that time, those whose Cultivation reaches a certain Rank will receive resource rewards from the school. The pep rally is an important event held annually by the school, and all students must attend.

“College Entrance Examination Pep Rally…”

Memories of the pep rally surfaced in Jiang Qing's mind.

The College Entrance Examination Pep Rally is an important event held annually by high schools.

During the rally, individuals whose Cultivation reaches a certain level can receive resource rewards from the school, which is a very important aid for people from ordinary families.

In addition, many large companies will send representatives to the event. They will select some individuals from ordinary families to sign contracts, providing resources for their growth, but these students must work for the company for a few years after graduation.

Both of these offer an opportunity for students from ordinary families to turn their lives around and are the fairest opportunities the school provides to those from the lower strata. Therefore, the pep rally has become an important event that must be held every year.

“I don't really want to go…”

Jiang Qing frowned slightly.

The pep rally was of no use to him; going would only waste his Cultivation time.

However, even though he didn't want to go, he had to.

No one had the privilege of not attending. When the pep rally came, all teachers and students in the school had to be present.

This was a rule established since the founding of the Great Xia Federation, intended to give those students from less fortunate family backgrounds a chance.

If he didn't have his Golden Finger, Jiang Qing might have had to rely on this pep rally to obtain the resources needed to turn his life around. Therefore, even if he didn't want to go, he had to.

He wouldn't do something like bite the hand that feeds him.

Attending was fine, as long as he didn't show too much. Just showing a Rank Two Martial Artist's Cultivation and receiving a portion of the resources would be enough.

However, a Rank Two Martial Artist could also be considered a Genius, so many companies would probably try to sign him then.

“How troublesome…”

Jiang Qing sighed and stopped thinking too much.

These were all minor details, no need to bother about them.

The immediate priority was to complete today's placement.

…

Jiang Qing began to consider what he needed now.

His Cultivation Technique was complete, and he was also equipped with exclusive Martial Arts and a Body Explosion secret technique.

He had enough resources; that single phoenix blood spirit stone was enough for him to use until he achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Artist.

Other things that could enhance him were only some special external items.

For example, Spiritual Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, runes, Formations…

After a brief thought, Jiang Qing decided on today's placement target.

Spiritual Artifacts.

Possessing a good Spiritual Artifact would undoubtedly greatly enhance Jiang Qing's combat capabilities. When paired with a weapon Martial Arts and a movement Martial Arts, his practical combat ability would directly skyrocket.

Having made his decision, Jiang Qing began to consider how to carry out the placement.

Because Spiritual Artifacts are completely different from other items, they cannot gradually increase in Rank by absorbing Spiritual Qi.

The Materials used to forge a Spiritual Artifact from the beginning basically determine its upper limit. Even if precious Materials are incorporated in the future, there will still be limitations to its upper limit.

Forging a Divine Artifact from common iron is a saying used to deceive children.

If common iron could be forged into a Divine Artifact, then there would be no difference in Rank or quality between Materials.

This placement couldn't be like before, directly placing a finished Spiritual Artifact. The high probability result of that would be obtaining a Spiritual Artifact that wasn't very good, or even aWaste, which would be a wasted opportunity.

Jiang Qing thought for a moment and finally decided on a method.

Since every item placed could have its placement conditions and environment edited, he could first place the Materials for a thousand years to obtain top-grade Materials for forging Spiritual Artifacts.

Then, he would transmit the placed top-grade Materials to an Artifact Refiner. The Artifact Refiner would naturally go crazy over these top-grade Materials and would search for other Ores that could match the Materials, autonomously smelting and casting.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qing immediately began the placement.

Yesterday, besides purchasing a Storage Ring, Jiang Qing also bought many Materials that could be used for placement, which could be put to use today.

Rank One Artifact Refining Material, “Flame Stone,” a fire-attribute Material. Spiritual Artifacts forged from it would possess extremely high fire affinity, capable of enhancing the power of fire element Martial Arts.

Among Jiang Qing's own elemental affinities, only fire element was the highest, so the weapon forged would naturally also need to enhance fire element affinity.

Having selected the Flame Stone and edited the placement conditions and environment, in a moment, text began to flash before his eyes…
