49: Advanced Warrior-level Spiritualist
The next morning, when Qiao Yu woke up, he felt the changes in his body.
His cells underwent a transformation under the dual nourishment of the flesh and blood mycelium and genetic energy. The strength of his muscles, bones, and internal organs surged, and the defensive power of his skin was now comparable to ordinary steel.
His five senses were also greatly enhanced. Looking out the window along the sunlight, he focused his gaze and could even see the faces of the staff inside the Dojo of Limits building five kilometers away.
"That girl's makeup is caking."
Qiao Yu rubbed his eyes and yawned.
He got up and pushed open the window, and the once quiet room was filled with the sounds of insects and birds.
Although most creatures had evolved into monsters, a few plants and animals still retained their original forms, though their vitality was much stronger.
Qiao Yu closed his eyes and listened intently. Apart from the chirping of insects and birds in the surrounding greenery, he could also hear the sounds of Martial Artist families exercising, walking, and chatting in the residential park, the gurgling of a small river, and the sounds of martial arts practice from the Dojo of Limits five kilometers away.
Qiao Yu smacked his lips, feeling parched in the early morning. Just as he was about to walk over to pick up the water glass on the bedside table, he saw the glass suddenly float up into the air, wobbling as it flew towards him.
"Huh? Psychic Power, telekinesis? Have I become a Psycher Master?"
Qiao Yu hurriedly opened the System panel.
γ host: Qiao Yu (Elementary Warlord Level) γ
γ Psycher Master: Advanced Warrior Level γ
γ Current flesh and blood mycelium quantity: 4400 cubic meters γ
γ Current Soul fungal swarm quantity: 510,000 milliliters γ
γ Soul fungal swarm quantity required for the third Soul nourishment: 500,000 milliliters γ
γ flesh and blood mycelium quantity required for the fourth genetic optimization: 1,000,000 cubic meters γ
Seeing that the Psycher Master column had indeed changed, Qiao Yu felt happy.
Furthermore, his Physical Body Realm had also stepped into the Elementary Warlord Level. But wasn't it said that the Rank of a Psycher Master would be two Ranks higher than the Physical Body?
Could it be that the level of Soul nourishment was still insufficient? Or was it still unable to compare to an Innate Psycher Master?
At this moment, Qiao Yu noticed that the quantities of the flesh and blood mycelium and the Soul fungal swarm were no longer round numbers; there were remainders. It seemed this was the effect of the fungal nest's self-propagation.
As the range of the fungal nest expanded, the daily increase should also rise.
"Hmm? Is the Soul fungal swarm quantity for the third Soul nourishment just enough?"
Qiao Yu saw that the System indicated the third Soul nourishment only required 500,000 milliliters of Soul fungal swarm, and he had exactly 510,000 milliliters. If he didn't upgrade now, when would he?
"System, start the third Soul nourishment!"
γ Ding! Performing the third Soul nourishment, consuming 500,000 milliliters of Soul fungal swarm! γ
A familiar drowsiness struck again. Qiao Yu, having just taken a sip of water, lay back on the bed and took a nap.
Under the influence of the fungal swarm in his body, Universe energy automatically converted into genetic energy, not only raising Qiao Yu's Soul strength to a higher level but also making the compatibility between his body and Soul more harmonious.

Time in sleep always passes quickly, and suddenly it was afternoon.
"You are the most beautiful cloud in my horizon, let me keep you with my heart!"
The noisy phone ringtone woke Qiao Yu up. Opening his eyes again, the sun outside was already scorching, and hot waves of heat kept pouring into the bedroom from the window.
Qiao Yu couldn't wait to open the System panel to see the effect of the third Soul nourishment.
γ Psycher Master: High-level Wargod γ
"It actually upgraded directly to High-level Wargod!"
Qiao Yu was surprised by the effectiveness of the fungal swarm in nourishing the Soul. He tried again to use Psychic Power to control the water glass beside him to float, but heard a 'crack'.
The cup made of tempered glass instantly turned into powder, but the cold boiled water inside did not spill; it seemed to turn into round water droplets, slowly floating, colliding, and merging in the air.
"Although the Psycher Master Rank has been improved, without specialized training, it is no different from a giant baby with super destructive power. It seems I still need to practice more."
"Beep beep!"
A message came on his phone from team leader Gao Feng, notifying him to gather at the Limit Clubhouse later.
Qiao Yu put on casual clothes, washed up briefly, and just as he stepped out, he ran into Luo Feng. They greeted each other and rushed to the Limit Clubhouse together.
In the small bar on the first floor of the clubhouse, Qiao Yu and Luo Feng soon saw team leader Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke in a booth. However, the three of them were staring blankly at the untouched drinks in front of them, with a hint of gloom on their faces.
"Team leader, Brother Chen, Brother Zhang."
Qiao Yu and Luo Feng greeted them with a smile. Seeing the two arrive, Gao Feng and the other two managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded. At the same time, Gao Feng took out a beautifully packaged express box from his combat backpack and handed it to Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, these are the two Type 9 flying knives you asked me to buy, costing a total of 45 million."
Luo Feng excitedly opened the box, and two flying knives, pitch-black as ink, came into view, placed separately in the upper and lower compartments.
"Thanks, team leader. 45 million has been transferred."
Luo Feng's current balance was stuck in an awkward position; he couldn't afford battle blades or combat uniforms, which was the disadvantage for most freelance Martial Artists.
They had to buy all their equipment themselves. Even if they earned a lot of money, it would all be gone after buying one set of equipment.
"Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, why aren't you talking? Did you have hundreds of rounds of battle after going back last night?"
Qiao Yu took the Mojito handed over by the waiter, bit the straw, took a gentle sip, and asked.
Chen Gu and Zhang Ke just smiled awkwardly, their expressions not improving in the slightest.
Gao Feng tapped his fingers on the table and explained in a slightly heavy tone:
"The Tiger Tooth Squadβthey're all dead!"
Upon hearing this news, Luo Feng was stunned, his hand holding the wine glass freezing in mid-air.
While Qiao Yu knew the truth, he also stiffened his movements to blend in.
"Isn't this a good thing, team leader? Although we didn't kill them ourselves, at least it vented our anger."
Luo Feng said with a chuckle after reacting, but Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke did not respond, making him scratch his head in embarrassment.
"Sigh, that's the point. The cause of death for the Tiger Tooth Squad is abnormal. It is said that they were infected with some unknown virus or something, which caused them all to self-destruct..."
Gao Feng sighed and downed the whiskey in front of him in one gulp.
"Infected with a virus? Could it be that the rr virus has evolved and made a comeback? And it can make people self-destruct?"
Luo Feng widened his eyes and looked at Gao Feng in surprise.
"Team leader, how do you know the cause of their death?"
Qiao Yu felt tense inside. He believed that when he killed the Tiger Tooth Squad, no one had discovered him. How did this news get out?
"This morning, Director Wu received a notice from the upper management of the Dojo of Limits. All Martial Artist Squads that have visited County-level City No. 0201 within the last month must undergo a one-month quarantine."
"On one hand, it is to avoid bringing infection risks to other humans. On the other hand, if we are really infected and self-destruct, it will be convenient for the authorities to conduct sample analysis..."
