14: Chapter 14 Physical Test, Bai Shiwei's Attitude

6 spirit-nourishing pills!

Converted to federation currency, that's 3 million!

This is a huge sum of money; 90% of students graduating from cultural universities won't earn this much in their entire working life in the Federation.

But... will it allow me to awaken a Martial Aspect?

To what level can my mental power be raised?

Fang Zhuo had no idea; "the literary arts are for the poor, the martial arts are for the rich" — that saying was absolutely correct!

Another half hour passed.

Bai Shiwei stood up, her beautiful eyes becoming increasingly vibrant:

"Hubby~"

"Accompany me to the martial arts hall~"

Fang Zhuo nodded.

Having used two spirit-nourishing pills in a row, her mental power increase was certainly not small, and she had even awakened a Superior Martial Aspect, breaking through to become an Intermediate Martial Artist.

Her strength in all aspects needed to be tested using instruments to know the specific data.

...

There were many martial arts halls near the Gardener Residential Complex.

The Tengfei Martial Arts Hall, where Fang Zhuo had previously worked as a part-time coach, also opened a branch on Gardener Road.

The couples living here in the Federation housing, although their conditions were mostly ordinary and most were Primary Martial Artists with no potential left in the martial path, had the advantage of being young, and many were unwilling to give up.

The market was still quite large.

Martial arts halls under various large and small martial artist groups in the Federation had all opened here.

Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

In front of a punch force tester.

Bang!

Bai Shiwei slammed a heavy punch onto it.

The force tester, capable of covering the limits of all Intermediate Martial Artists, only shook slightly, and then the numbers jumped as an intelligent broadcast sound rang out:

"2300kg~"

"Calculated, your Life Level should be at 20.5."

Fang Zhuo looked at Bai Shiwei, whose ponytail was still swinging.

"Hmm."

Bai Shiwei nodded with a smile: "I feel the same."

"Let's test it."

"Once the data is confirmed, it will be easier for me to prepare cultivation resources for you later."

Fang Zhuo's mind was active, his abacus already clicking in his heart; he had been thinking for the past two days about how to exhaust the old man's retirement fund, and this time, with Bai Shiwei awakening a Martial Aspect, it was the perfect opportunity.

It was even a Superior Martial Aspect, the Heaven-Swallowing Python!

Thinking about it, not only the old man, but his parents would also be willing to take out their hidden private savings to invest.

"Hubby~"

Bai Shiwei heard this and tilted her head: "Actually, you don't need to spend money on me anymore. Having awakened a Martial Aspect, I can apply for funding from the school and talk about contracts with major martial arts groups."

"It's fine."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "It's settled that you become an Advanced Martial Artist first, and then you can support me. The Advanced Martial Artist leads the later martial artist, right?"

"Pfft~"

Hearing this, Bai Shiwei couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright then, I'll listen to you."

"Really, listen to everything I say?"

"Hmm~!"

"Then when you've finished negotiating contracts with those top martial artist groups, remember to provide my bank card."

Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Bai Shiwei was stunned, but without hesitation, she pursed her lips and said: "Okay~ from now on, you can manage the money."

Perhaps... she had awakened a Martial Aspect, and a Superior one at that! Did this make her husband feel insecure?

Thinking about it, she could understand. Bai Shiwei's experience at home made her exceptionally delicate and sensitive, subconsciously thinking that Fang Zhuo felt inferior.

Fang Zhuo did not know Bai Shiwei's complex inner thoughts.

In his consciousness space, the Martial Aspect he visualized was clearly not inferior to a Superior Martial Aspect; in fact, the mystery it revealed even surpassed a Superior Martial Aspect!

With this certainty about the future, it was impossible for him to feel inferior.

He wanted to manage Bai Shiwei's money only to maximize the utilization of resources and to trigger the system's rebate.

The Life Level tester was made quite compact, even small enough for individuals to carry, but the price had not yet come down.

Because the business was monopolized by the three major martial artist groups of the Federation.

Therefore, generally only large martial artist groups would buy them to equip in their own martial arts halls.

Bai Shiwei took the instrument and scanned it against her forehead.

"Beep~~~"

"Target Life Level: 20.5."

Bai Shiwei casually scanned Fang Zhuo as well.

"Beep~"

"Target Life Level: 16."

"16?"

Bai Shiwei looked surprised. Two days ago, Fang Zhuo was only at level 15. He had used all his money to buy spirit-nourishing pills and shouldn't have used any other resources, yet he had actually improved by one level?

She had improved by more than two levels, completely due to using the spirit-nourishing pills, which greatly increased her mental power, awakened the Superior Martial Aspect, opened her bodily acupoints, and crazily absorbed a wave of starry sky origin power.

"I've been stuck at level 15 for a long time. This increase in Life Level can be considered a natural result."

Fang Zhuo explained.

"Is that so."

Bai Shiwei didn't dwell on it and continued to pick up the mental power tester.

"Beep~"

"Mental power level: 19."

"It's a bit low... I thought it could be 20."

Bai Shiwei was a bit disappointed, but she didn't stop her hands, aiming the scanning port at Fang Zhuo.

Fang Zhuo couldn't dodge in time.

"Beep~"

"Mental power level: 21."

Oh no...

Fang Zhuo thought to himself that the news of his outstanding mental power was about to leak. Fortunately, those 6 spirit-nourishing pills hadn't been swallowed yet, otherwise, Bai Shiwei would probably be stunned.

Even so.

Bai Shiwei was also extremely shocked.

Federation martial artists often have mental power that lags behind their Life Level because Federation martial arts basically do not involve mental power cultivation; it is more about physical strengthening, using the physical body to push the Life Level to jump and thus enhance mental power.

Martial artists whose mental power exceeds their Life Level often have great achievements in the martial path.

Strong mental power means strong learning ability and strong comprehension; whether practicing ultimate techniques, secret manuals, movement techniques, or improving Body Control, they all have advantages over ordinary people.

"Level 21..."

Bai Shiwei murmured; no wonder Fang Zhuo's Body Control was so high.

"This... perhaps the instrument is malfunctioning?"

Fang Zhuo said with a chuckle; he didn't want to expose the information about his outstanding mental power because it would involve the secret of his Martial Aspect.

In the Blue Moon Federation, the more powerful the Martial Aspect, the higher the mental power level required for awakening. However, the nine recorded Superior Martial Aspects could all be visualized and awakened before mental power level 20!

His mental power was at level 21, yet he hadn't awakened a Martial Aspect.

Once the Martial Aspect awakens in the future.

People who know about his outstanding mental power will know that the Martial Aspect he awakened is not simple! It exceeds the nine recorded Superior Martial Aspects!

Fang Zhuo was a bit troubled.

If he didn't have the system, he naturally wouldn't have this worry. Good talent should be displayed to exchange for investments from major martial artist groups, using that to cultivate and grow into a powerful martial artist.

But with the system, there was no need for him to join any major martial artist groups, and there was no need to even go to a Martial Arts Undergraduate program.

It is said that those who take others' things are short-handed, and those who eat others' food are soft-mouthed.

In the Blue Moon Federation, this era is even more so. Once you sign a contract with a martial artist group and take the cultivation resources invested by others, when you grow up, you have to do things for them, or even risk your life.

What Fang Zhuo knew was that the most dangerous place was the Origin Star.

In news reports, many so-called geniuses, including Martial Arts Undergraduate students and young martial artists cultivated by martial artist groups, died at the hands of strange beasts and extraterrestrial powerhouses after going to the Origin Star.

"Instrument malfunction?"

Bai Shiwei repeated this, turning the device on herself.

"Beep~"

"Mental power level: 19."

"It's not broken?"

Bai Shiwei said, then turned her hand back, aiming the scanning port at Fang Zhuo.

Fang Zhuo slid aside and grabbed Bai Shiwei's wrist.

"Alright, it's time to go back to sleep. Tomorrow, let's buy some things to visit Mom, Dad, and Grandpa. This time you awakened a Martial Aspect and broke through to Intermediate Martial Artist, it's all thanks to them."

"...Hmm, we really should thank Dad properly."

Bai Shiwei let Fang Zhuo pull her, her beautiful eyes shimmering. Could it be that her husband really wasn't simple?

His mental power level 21 should be correct, but his Life Level was only 16; he was simply a genius!

Unfortunately... with a mental power of level 21, the possibility of awakening a Martial Aspect was completely gone. Even if he visualized one of the nine Superior Martial Aspects, the mental power before level 20 would have been enough to carry it!

Thinking of this, the luster in Bai Shiwei's eyes dimmed a little.

Perhaps, precisely because Fang Zhuo knew this, he didn't want her to continue confirming his mental power level?

On the way, Bai Shiwei suddenly tightened her grip, took Fang Zhuo's hand, and said seriously: "Hubby~ it's okay, I'll support you in the future!"
