139: Chapter 139 Bai Shiwei Breaks Through to the Extraordinary Level, Changes in Resource Return
"Thunder Fire Small World..."
"The Federation is so vast, who knows how many good things and good places there are that I still don't know about...? Perfect. With this spot for the Thunder Fire Small World, I can take Shi Wei in with me, push her hard in her cultivation, and have her break through to Transcendent as soon as possible!"
Once Shi Wei becomes a Transcendent Martial Artist, will there be other changes to the resource rebate besides the coefficient continuing to multiply?
Fang Zhuo pondered to himself.
The rebate system had always emphasized his wife's Life Level. So once Shi Wei reached Transcendent, it would only be reasonable for there to be some different changes...!
"Grandfather, Grandma Zhou, Mom, Dad, you guys go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I have something to discuss with Shi Wei."
Just as Fang Zhuo spoke,
Bai Shiwei walked over and said, "Hubby, I think I'm about to... break through!"
"Hmm?"
"Shi Wei, you... have reached perfection in Micro-Perception Body Control?"
Fang Zhuo said joyfully.
He quietly observed her for a moment and found that it was indeed the case. This was even better; he could wait until Shi Wei broke through to become a Transcendent Martial Artist before using the spot for the Thunder Fire Small World.
The improvement would be even greater by then!
The young couple immediately held hands and hurried back to their villa.
Leaving the Fang family and Bai Qiming's couple looking at each other in silence.
"Fang Jing, your brother and sister-in-law really have a great relationship," Shi Zheng said from the side with no small amount of envy.
"Of course. Back then, they stood firm and got through despite the opposition and cold shoulders from both families," Fang Jing nodded.
Then she raised her chin. "Of course, I played a huge role in this. When my brother first brought my sister-in-law home, I supported them completely, ignoring the pressure from our parents and grandfather."
Seeing her daughter getting close to this young martial artist, Li Ru immediately walked over, pulled Fang Jing, and said, "Come, help Mom prepare for your brother's celebration banquet tonight."
...
Inside the cultivation room of the hotel villa,
Bai Shiwei and Fang Zhuo shut the door as soon as they returned.
"Shi Wei, take these. If it's not enough, let me know," Fang Zhuo said, pulling out ten stone milk crystals that had been rebated previously.
"...That's too many!"
Bai Shiwei shook her head. "Hubby, just how many stone milk crystals were in that cave you discovered and reported to the corporation?"
Before coming to the Ocean Gathering, Fang Zhuo had just given her nine stone milk crystals. Now, only a few days had passed, and the corporation had distributed so much in dividends?
"Not many, just a few hundred."
Fang Zhuo smiled.
After multiplying several dozen by eight, it was indeed a few hundred.
"That many?!"
Bai Shiwei was astonished. No wonder her husband was so fabulously wealthy...
Hearing this, she did not stand on ceremony. She immediately picked up a stone milk crystal and began to use her Martial Aspect Sky-Swallowing Python to guide her physical body in absorbing source energy.
She officially began her charge toward becoming a Transcendent Martial Artist.
...
Half an hour later.
The phantom of the Martial Aspect Sky-Swallowing Python behind Bai Shiwei became increasingly solid. The giant python coiled and opened its bloody maw, its momentum terrifying.
"Transcending the mundane, Shi Wei has finally become a Transcendent Martial Artist as well!"
Watching from the side, Fang Zhuo couldn't help but feel curious. The Heaven-Swallowing Python was the third-ranked Martial Aspect in the Federation. What would be the power of the combat divine ability it bestowed at the Transcendent stage?
"Hubby!"
Just then, Bai Shiwei opened her eyes, stood up from a pile of stone powder residue, and threw herself into Fang Zhuo's arms.
"A Transcendent Martial Artist!"
"I've become a Transcendent Martial Artist!"
Bai Shiwei bit her lip, her eyes turning red as she held Fang Zhuo tightly.
In the six months since she registered her marriage with Fang Zhuo, she had never imagined she would become a Transcendent Martial Artist so quickly!
She had been stuck at the Transcendent bottleneck for quite some time. Over the past two months, she had attempted to break through several times, all ending in failure. She had originally thought she was only lacking in Body Control.
But just now, even with everything prepared, she still had to use five whole stone milk crystals in a row to finally make her Life Level truly transform and leap!
Without Fang Zhuo, she could absolutely never have become a Transcendent Martial Artist so quickly. Furthermore, even with her Martial Aspect Heaven-Swallowing Python, without the vast amount of resources Fang Zhuo provided, she might not have actually achieved the Transcendent stage.
"It's good that you broke through."
Fang Zhuo patted Bai Shiwei's back and smiled. "Try out the combat divine ability of your Martial Aspect Sky-Swallowing Python."
"Okay!"
Bai Shiwei took a few steps back, the phantom of the Heaven-Swallowing Python emerging behind her.
She clenched her delicate fists. Under the 'Heaven-Swallowing' divine ability, several wisps of devouring airflow swirled over the surface of her fist as she punched toward Fang Zhuo with a whoosh.
"Watch out, here I come."
"Don't hold back."
Fang Zhuo stood firm in a lunge, raising his hand and extending his palm to meet Bai Shiwei's fist.
With his current strength, there was absolutely no way he could be hurt by a Level 40 Transcendent Martial Artist.
Bang!
Fist met palm, and Fang Zhuo's feet did not budge an inch.
Bai Shiwei's figure retreated rapidly. Rubbing her smarting fist, she bit her lip and said, "I'm not fighting anymore! Fang Zhuo, you're bullying me!"
"I'm innocent... Shi Wei."
Fang Zhuo spread his hands.
He had originally held back his strength, but on Shi Wei's fist, the 'Heaven-Swallowing' divine ability carried an extremely tricky and cold force.
This triggered a reflexive response from him, causing him to use a bit more force.
"That said, Shi Wei, this characteristic of your Martial Aspect divine ability 'Heaven-Swallowing' is indeed quite formidable. If it were a Level 41 or 42 Transcendent Martial Artist, they might get injured by you if they aren't careful."
"Really?"
Hearing this, joy appeared in Bai Shiwei's eyes.
"Of course."
"Alright then, I forgive you. Hubby, you swept through over a hundred Transcendent Martial Artists at the Ocean Gathering today, you must be exhausted."
Bai Shiwei sat on the edge of the bed and began massaging Fang Zhuo's shoulders.
Fang Zhuo enjoyed it for a moment before turning to look at Bai Shiwei. "Shi Wei, after massaging for so long, are you thirsty?"
He without giving her a chance to argue, pulled out a qi-blood potion he had prepared beforehand. "Here, hydrate yourself, and get some energy while you're at it."
"What is this?"
Bai Shiwei tilted her head, looking at her husband with a face full of confusion.
She didn't understand what tricks Fang Zhuo was playing. This qi-blood potion was a good thing for Primary and Intermediate Martial Artists, as it could strengthen their qi and blood to assist in their tempering and cultivation.
But it was of no use to Advanced Martial Artists, let alone the fact that she was now a Transcendent Martial Artist!
"Hurry up, just think of it as hydrating. Even if it can't strengthen your qi and blood, there's still plenty of energy in it," Fang Zhuo urged.
The system's resource rebate was related to his wife Bai Shiwei's Life Level. He felt he needed to properly test the changes after she reached Transcendent.
But he couldn't tell Bai Shiwei this.
"Gulp, gulp..." Bai Shiwei had no choice. Who told Fang Zhuo to be a legendary Transcendent now? She tilted her head back and drank the qi-blood potion in big gulps.
Fang Zhuo watched Bai Shiwei with rapt attention.
At that exact moment, the familiar light screen appeared before his eyes:
[Wife Bai Shiwei consumed qi-blood potion * 1. Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Transcendent Martial Artist. Rebate coefficient is 16. Rebating qi-blood potion * 16.]
Fang Zhuo couldn't say he was very excited; he even furrowed his brows slightly.
The doubling of the rebate coefficient was a pattern he had already deduced when Bai Shiwei rose from a Primary Martial Artist to Intermediate, and then to Advanced.
Transcendent Life Level...
Fang Zhuo muttered, then pulled out another qi-blood potion he had bought long ago. "Wife, keep going!"
"Huh?"
Bai Shiwei was reluctant, but she still cooperatively drank it. Who told her to dote on her husband?
Amidst the sound of "gulp, gulp,"
the familiar light screen appeared before Fang Zhuo's eyes once more:
[Wife Bai Shiwei consumed qi-blood potion * 1. Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Transcendent Martial Artist. Rebate coefficient is 16. Rebating qi-blood potion * 16.]
"Shi Wei, keep going!"
"...Keep going!"
"..."
"Wife, believe me, this is the last time!"
"Shi Wei, after drinking this one, it really is the last one..."
Under Bai Shiwei's gradually annoyed gaze, Fang Zhuo also felt a bit disappointed. Perhaps he really was overthinking it?
He had made Bai Shiwei drink ten qi-blood potions in a row, and each rebate was only 16 qi-blood potions.
Perhaps... Shi Wei's Life Level reaching Transcendent only doubled the rebate coefficient to 16, with no other changes?
Just as Fang Zhuo was thinking this,
Bai Shiwei let out a burp and said, "Fang Zhuo! This really is the last time. I have to help Mom prepare for the celebration banquet tonight in a bit, I don't have time to be your source of amusement anymore!"
After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank the eleventh qi-blood potion.
Bai Shiwei felt Fang Zhuo was playing with her, but she couldn't help it. Having become a Transcendent Martial Artist now, she was in an excellent mood, so she generously cooperated with him.
Gulp, gulp...
[Wife Bai Shiwei consumed qi-blood potion * 1. Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Transcendent Martial Artist. Rebate coefficient is 16. Rebating premium qi-blood potion * 1.]
Huh?!
Fang Zhuo's eyes widened, and wild joy appeared on his face.
