159: Chapter 159 Crescent Moon Martial Arts Arena: Bai Shiwei's Cultivation Goes Wrong?

"Ugh, ugh."

Bai Shiwei retched a few times, her face turning slightly pale: "It's nothing, Honey. I just feel a bit nauseous and want to vomit. Maybe I haven't been resting well lately."

"Not resting well?"

Fang Zhuo was still worried.

Over the past month, Bai Shiwei had indeed not been resting well, and the same went for him.

But as a Transcendent Martial Artist, that shouldn't be much of a burden, and a Transcendent body shouldn't be experiencing discomfort.

"Could it be that something went wrong during your recent cultivation?"

Fang Zhuo asked persistently.

If Bai Shiwei hadn't gauged the intensity correctly while tempering her Physical Body, it would be even easier for her body to develop issues.

"A week ago, when I was absorbing the stone milk crystal for Body Tempering, my abdomen felt a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps I was too eager?" Bai Shiwei looked up, appearing as if she were recalling the memory.

"When we arrive at New Moon, I'll accompany you to the Martial Arts Hospital first."

Fang Zhuo looked at Bai Shiwei, his tone brooking no argument.

...

New Moon City.

In the most prosperous central district, in front of a skyscraper, the Starry Sky Group's private aircraft hovered slowly over a landing pad.

"Senior Sister, who is coming from the Starry Sky Group that requires us to pick them up in person?"

Below, two women dressed in light purple martial arts uniforms were standing there. One of them, a girl with baby fat, asked with puffed cheeks.

"Fang Zhuo."

The other woman, who had an exquisite oval face, replied indifferently.

"It's him?!"

Ling Qi's mouth formed an 'O' shape, and a flash of excitement immediately crossed her eyes.

She was an S-Class Genius of the New Moon Group, only 20 years old this year, yet she had already cultivated into a Level 39 Advanced Martial Artist.

Her chances of becoming a Transcendent Martial Artist were high; she was a Genius from a major group whom outside Martial Artists had to look up to.

But compared to Fang Zhuo, she felt like she was dwarfed in comparison; there was simply no contest.

"What is Fang Zhuo coming to our New Moon Group for? Is his contract with the Starry Sky Group expiring? That's not right, he only joined for over half a year..."

Ling Qi was incredibly curious.

"Where do you get so many questions? Stop talking nonsense, he's here." Takeuchi Miko glared at her Junior Sister and walked straight ahead.

"Fang Zhuo."

"Takeuchi Miko?"

Fang Zhuo was also a bit surprised, then immediately introduced: "This is my wife, Bai Shiwei."

"Hello."

Takeuchi Miko and Bai Shiwei greeted each other.

Ling Qi stood to the side, eyes wide, staring at Fang Zhuo without blinking, looking him over from head to toe, scrutinizing him back and forth.

The strongest Transcendent of the 9th Ocean Gathering, having fought consecutively in the Legendary Group and Peak Group with only a ten-day interval, and completing a massive leap in Life Level!

Seeing him in person, he really was much more charismatic than on screen...!

"Ling Qi, help with the luggage."

Takeuchi Miko poked her Junior Sister, whose eyes were gradually becoming infatuated.

She felt helpless inside; if not for her cousin's instructions, she would never have come to pick up Fang Zhuo.

Right now, her Junior Sister's behavior made Takeuchi Miko feel even more embarrassed and ashamed.

"Oh, okay."

Ling Qi finally snapped out of it, walked up, and took the luggage from Bai Shiwei's hands.

"This way."

Takeuchi Miko gestured and said indifferently: "Takeuchi Reina is my cousin. She asked me to come and pick you up to take you to your lodging, and then take you to the Martial Arts Arena."

"...Okay, thank you."

Fang Zhuo realized.

In the seed exchange group, Takeuchi Reina seemed to have mentioned this... He just didn't expect Takeuchi Miko, this defeated opponent of his, to come. He had thought she might have been beaten into submission and become a little fangirl or something...

"You have the right to use this villa in New Moon for two years. Even if you leave New Moon during this period, our group will not take it back."

Takeuchi Miko brought Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei to a detached villa and handed over a smart key.

"The Martial Arts Arena is in the bamboo forest behind the rockery over there. You can reach it by walking along this path for five minutes."

"If you have any questions these next few days, you can contact me by phone."

Takeuchi Miko looked at Fang Zhuo with calm eyes.

Her original plan was to leave the follow-up matters to her Junior Sister Ling Qi, but Ling Qi's behavior when they met earlier made her very worried.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Fang Zhuo took the key and followed the direction Takeuchi Miko pointed, getting a rough idea in his mind.

After Takeuchi Miko briefly introduced New Moon, she dragged the reluctant Ling Qi away.

Fang Zhuo, after putting the luggage into the villa, didn't rush to the Martial Arts Arena, but instead accompanied Bai Shiwei to the New Moon City Martial Arts Hospital.

After the examination, the sky had already darkened.

"Honey, I told you it was nothing, right? Now you can go cultivate with peace of mind."

Walking on the road with endless traffic, Bai Shiwei held the examination report, her physical martial arts indices all normal. She tilted her head to look at Fang Zhuo, a sweet smile on her face.

"Speaking of which, New Moon City is truly the largest city in New Moon. The urban feel, the sense of technology, especially when night fell just now and the artificial moon lit up, I had the illusion of living in the future."

Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes curiously sized up the city.

"We cannot be careless. Although a Transcendent body is powerful, it is also very fragile during cultivation. I will accompany you for a follow-up check next month."

Fang Zhuo held Bai Shiwei's hand and smiled:

"New Moon is, after all, the life planet that ranks first in both technology and martial arts in the Federation. This New Moon City is indeed different from other cities."

Fang Zhuo looked up at the sky.

An artificial moon was slowly rotating, floating above New Moon City in an irregular orbit. When it had poured down its bright moonlight earlier, he had also felt an inexplicable sense of awe.

...

That night.

When Fang Zhuo returned to his lodging with Bai Shiwei, he didn't linger. He walked straight along the path by himself, heading toward the New Moon Group's Martial Arts Arena.

In the bamboo forest, as the evening breeze blew, it brought with it the 'swish, swish' sound of rustling leaves.

Passing through the dense bamboo forest and arriving at the center, Fang Zhuo's vision suddenly opened up. A Martial Arts Arena the size of two football fields appeared before his eyes.

"So big."

Fang Zhuo narrowed his eyes to inspect it.

He saw that the Martial Arts Arena's grounds were like a huge raw stone, as if embedded and pressing into this bamboo forest.

On the east side stood a giant drum, with a large character 'Martial' written on the drum face.

Next to it was a flag, the text on which was not the Blue Moon Federation's script, but the Universe Common Language. Most Federation Martial Artists dabbled in it, and Fang Zhuo was no exception.

"Red Water M20."

"Is this the serial number for a higher civilization's Martial Arts Arena?"

Fang Zhuo was curious.

As his gaze shifted, in the center, a woman dressed in a floral kimono sat cross-legged. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth strip, and her lips were slightly pursed.

Resting on her knees was a wooden sword.

After a long while.

Takeuchi Reina suddenly stood up. She took off the black cloth strip covering her eyes, looked at Fang Zhuo, and said: "How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived."

Fang Zhuo smiled.

Regarding the three major higher civilization resources of the three major groups, they had already agreed on the time allocation in the seed exchange group.

Of course, the daily usage time discussed previously was just a ratio and share.

Specifically, the few of them could negotiate privately to combine it into two or three weeks, or a month, with the two of them using it alternately.

Before Fang Zhuo arrived, he had already discussed with Takeuchi Reina and the others that for the next half-year, he and Takeuchi Reina would split the time for the Martial Arts Arena equally.
