176: Chapter 176 Special Training, Secret Technique "Jade Shatter"

The next day.

Dawn broke, and the first ray of morning light filtered through the window, falling into the spacious bedroom.

Fang Zhuo opened his eyes right on time; resting on his chest was Bai Shiwei's fair, delicate little hand.

He gently picked up Bai Shiwei's hand, moved it aside on the bed, and then rolled out from under the covers.

"Hubby~ Mmm~"

Bai Shiwei sat up abruptly, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she tilted her head to look at Fang Zhuo.

"What's wrong, not sleeping anymore?"

"Yeah, starting from today, I'll have Mom and the nanny help watch Xiao Bai and Xiao Yue during the day. I need to resume my training too!"

Fighting spirit burned in Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes: "After I finish training during the day, I'll take care of the two babies at night."

She had been suffocating for nearly the past year.

Although she didn't have as strong an obsession with becoming a Flying Martial Artist or Cosmic Martial Artist as she did when she was a Transcendent Martial Artist, as a Martial Artist of the Federation, no one didn't want to become stronger!

"Alright then, come with me. It just so happens I haven't given you extra training in a long time."

Fang Zhuo nodded with a smile.

He had originally planned to wait another two days for Shi Wei to rest; after all, it had only been a few days since she gave birth.

It seems he had underestimated the Transcendent Martial Artist body.

Bai Shiwei tilted her head, giving Fang Zhuo a provocative look, then rolled out of bed and changed into a loose training outfit.

The young couple finished breakfast, walked through the living room together, and headed to the training room attached to the villa.

"Shi Wei, take this. Be careful when controlling your Martial Aspect, and try to absorb it slowly for Body Tempering."

Fang Zhuo reached out, a thunder-fire source crystal resting in his palm.

"Hubby, what is this...?"

Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes shifted, immediately drawn to the purple-red, water-mirror-like treasure.

As a Transcendent Martial Artist whose Martial Aspect was the 'Heaven-Swallowing Python', she was exceptionally sensitive to treasures containing concentrated source power.

"A thunder-fire source crystal."

Fang Zhuo smiled and explained: "Do you remember when we were training in the Thunder Fire Small World last year?"

"Mmhmm."

Bai Shiwei nodded, saying happily: "Did you get it from there?"

"...Sort of."

Fang Zhuo didn't explain further; if he told her it was given by a Cosmic Martial Artist of the Federation, he would inevitably have to spend time persuading her.

"You haven't forgotten the feeling of absorbing thunder-fire source power for Body Tempering back then, right? Remember to be careful."

Fang Zhuo added another reminder.

"Don't worry."

Bai Shiwei smiled, pursing her lips as she reached out to take the thunder-fire source crystal Fang Zhuo handed her, the phantom of the 'Heaven-Swallowing Python' appearing behind her.

The great python opened its mouth, and Bai Shiwei used her Martial Aspect to guide her Physical Body, absorbing the source power from the thunder-fire source crystal bit by bit.

Having had the experience of training in the Thunder Fire Small World, she was no stranger to thunder-fire source power. Although she let out muffled groans from time to time under the volatile thunder-fire source power, she successfully persisted.

"Not bad. Over this past year while Shi Wei was pregnant and giving birth, although she hasn't been training to temper her Physical Body, she has been nourishing her body daily with the stone milk crystal I gave her, so her foundation hasn't weakened at all. Absorbing the thunder-fire source crystal... shouldn't be a problem."

Fang Zhuo observed for a while and felt relieved, then turned to look at the familiar light screen notification:

[Wife Bai Shiwei consumed 1 thunder-fire source crystal. Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Transcendent Martial Artist. The return coefficient is 16. Returned 16 thunder-fire source crystals.]

Very good.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corners of Fang Zhuo's mouth. He walked to the side, calmed his heart to temper his Physical Body, and continued to refine civilization points, integrating them into his Life Core.

Two hours of morning training later.

In his Sea of Consciousness, another Source Pattern Flower finished condensing.

"The seventy-fifth one... only six more to go!"

Fang Zhuo stood up and rubbed his throbbing temples.

Condensing a Source Pattern Flower consumed an immense amount of Mental Energy, requiring a full day to recover each time.

"Shi Wei, I'll help you with today's extra training when I get back tonight."

"I'm heading to the New Moon Martial Arts Arena to practice my Secret Manual first."

Bai Shiwei gathered the hair dampened by sweat behind her ears, tilted her head, and smiled: "Okay~ Don't worry about me, Hubby, you prioritize your own tasks."

...

Bamboo Forest Martial Arts Dojo.

After heading straight to the Bamboo Forest Martial Arts Dojo, he practiced the Thunder Fire Blade Secret Manual from ten in the morning until around three in the afternoon.

Just at this time.

Above the Bamboo Forest Martial Arts Dojo.

A cosmic-class adventure spaceship suddenly appeared, the massive wind and waves causing the bamboo forest to rustle loudly.

"Director Song is here!"

Fang Zhuo sheathed his blade and looked up with some anticipation. He wondered what Director Song would teach the few of them, the seeds of civilization, during this special training.

The spaceship cabin door opened.

Behind Chairman Song Shou, Jiang Chen and Wang Jinhua stood on his left and right, looking like Protectors.

"Director Song."

Fang Zhuo called out to Chairman Song Shou, who was the first to fly down to the ground.

"Fang Zhuo."

Chairman Song Shou nodded with a smile.

Fang Zhuo also nodded to greet Jiang Chen and Wang Jinhua.

Takeuchi Reina also happened to arrive from the bamboo forest path.

"Alright, for this special training, besides helping you clear up your doubts, I only have one Secret Technique to teach you."

Chairman Song Shou looked at the four people in front of him: "You are the four Geniuses with the highest talent in the Blue Moon Federation. I assume you all have your own methods for Body Control and Secret Manual training."

"Secret Technique?"

Wang Jinhua asked first.

Hmm... Brother Wang had a temper as impatient as a husky. Listening to lectures with him meant he didn't need to raise his hand to ask questions himself.

Fang Zhuo had the illusion of being back in his past life, attending classes as a student.

"Yes, a Secret Technique. You can temporarily consider it a special type of Secret Manual, but for us Martial Artists, a Secret Technique differs from a Secret Manual in one way: it cannot be used as a conventional method of attack."

Chairman Song Shou took a deep breath, and four VR headsets appeared in his hands. He said, "This Secret Technique is called 'Jade Shatter'. I paid a high price to buy it from the Red Water Empire."

"Hearing the name, I assume you can all guess that this is a Secret Technique used for desperate situations."

"Better to be a shattered jade than an intact tile...!"

Jiang Chen said calmly, reaching out to take one of the Secret Technique VR headsets and putting it on impatiently.

"Jade Shatter..."

Fang Zhuo also muttered to himself and took a Secret Technique VR headset.

Wang Jinhua and Takeuchi Reina followed suit.

"First, complete the copyright activation, then quickly watch it through once. This Secret Technique is extremely difficult; it cannot be understood or learned overnight."

Chairman Song Shou introduced with a smile.

"Yes."

The four answered in unison, each wearing their VR headset, immersing themselves in the virtual world to watch the Secret Technique demonstration video.

A long while later.

Jiang Chen was the first to take off his headset.

Then came Fang Zhuo, Wang Jinhua, and Takeuchi Reina.

Watching these four Geniuses of the Federation, all with confused expressions and solemn eyes, Chairman Song Shou felt a bit helpless.

"I told you, this Secret Technique is very difficult. You don't need to be so dejected. Let alone you, even the top Geniuses of a primary level-3 civilization, or even Geniuses of a medium-level civilization, wouldn't be able to gain anything on their first attempt."

"This is a Secret Technique at the Cosmic Martial Artist level."

"Only very, very few Geniuses among Flying Martial Artists can learn it. I don't expect much from you all; if one of you can succeed within three months, that would be pretty good."

Chairman Song Shou added: "However, although the Secret Technique 'Jade Shatter' is difficult, for you all, it should be possible for everyone to master it within a year."

"This Secret Technique, 'Jade Shatter', is activated by burning Mental Energy. A Martial Artist can erupt with powerful strength in a very short amount of time."

"The higher the Mental Energy Rank, the greater the eruption!"
