23: Chapter 23 Bai Shiwei: How perverted~

The Bai family.

After Bai Shiwei returned, she greeted her father, left Fang Zhuo's card number, and had no intention of saying anything more, preparing to leave with an indifferent expression.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Qiming sighed, knowing his daughter was still angry with him. Since he had decided to give up on his martial arts cultivation, his temper was no longer as unyielding.

At this moment, he had no intention of clashing with Bai Shiwei.

"Shi Wei, is this anonymous card you left yours?"

"Yes."

Bai Shiwei did not even turn her head.

"..."

Bai Qiming was helpless.

Looking at Bai Shiwei's departing figure, he felt both melancholy and full of anticipation. The aura Bai Shiwei inadvertently revealed indeed carried the flavor of the Martial Aspect Heaven-Swallowing Python!

His second daughter and youngest son had both awakened Superior Martial Aspects. The Bai family was destined to produce a Transcendent Martial Artist in the future!

His lifelong wish could be said to have already been fulfilled.

With two geniuses, how could at least one of them not succeed?

...

Before long.

Xu Xue hurried back.

"Old man~!"

"Good news!"

Before Xu Xue even entered the house, her voice drifted in from outside. Once she stepped through the door, she kicked off her high heels and smiled, saying:

"Our son-in-law is not simple!"

Bai Qiming was completely dazed, his mind unable to process it: "Are you talking about Fang Zhuo?"

That kid, a mere Martial Arts Junior College student who couldn't even awaken a Martial Aspect, yet he had quite a big mouth. When he came to their house before, he even used Jiang Chen, the number one Martial Arts Junior College student in history, to talk back to him.

"How is he not simple?"

"Is his family actually very rich?"

Bai Qiming asked testily.

"No! Fang Zhuo, he's also a genius. I don't know when he awakened his Martial Aspect, but he's already an Intermediate Martial Artist now, with a Life Level of at least level 21!"

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Seeing his wife's certain expression, Bai Qiming felt an ominous premonition for no reason, and his eyes glanced toward the kitchen dining table.

"It's absolutely true."

Xu Xue stared straight at her husband: "I felt it firsthand. Fang Zhuo's strength... is actually above mine!"

"Absurd!"

Bai Qiming didn't believe it at all. If she said Fang Zhuo had awakened a Martial Aspect, that might be slightly possible. But that his strength was above Xu Xue's—he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!

His wife, Xu Xue, was a level 25 Intermediate Martial Artist with a basic punch force of 5,000 kg. Her Body Control had reached flawless mastery, allowing her to exert double the power from a single unit of force, giving her a combat power amplification coefficient of 2.

Under full burst, she could unleash a punch force of 10,000 kg!

Xu Xue explained, "Hubby, don't be anxious. Listen to me. When I spoke to Fang Zhuo alone earlier, once that kid's temper flared up, I felt just like I was being targeted by a wilderness beast on the Origin Star."

"In a face-to-face encounter, I would absolutely not sense it wrongly. His Life Level is indeed at the Intermediate Martial Artist level, most likely level 21."

"Even if that's the case,"

Bai Qiming frowned and asked, "What then? So what?"

For level 20 to 29 martial artists, their punch force ranged from 2,000 kg to 8,000 kg, increasing by 600 kg with each level.

A level 21 Intermediate Martial Artist had a basic punch force of 2,600 kg.

Even if a greenhorn like Fang Zhuo struck major luck, actually awakened a Martial Aspect, and became an Intermediate Martial Artist, he still couldn't possibly be stronger than his wife.

"His Body Control realm is extremely high; he has already achieved Body Micro-Control!"

Xu Xue rolled her eyes at her husband in annoyance. She had told him she would explain slowly, so why did he keep interrupting her?

"Body Micro-Control... Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Bai Qiming's eyes widened. With Body Micro-Control, one could exert at least four times the power from a single unit of force, meaning the combat power amplification coefficient was above 4.

This meant that even if Fang Zhuo, with a Life Level of 21, had a basic punch force of only 2,600 kg, his explosive force could reach as high as 10,400 kg!

In a pure comparison of power limits, Fang Zhuo would actually have a slight advantage.

It might not seem like a huge advantage, and in an actual fight, one wouldn't necessarily win.

But Bai Qiming knew that his wife was indeed no match for Fang Zhuo.

Body Micro-Control was not only reflected in a high combat power amplification coefficient—explosive power was just one aspect of it. More importantly, martial artists with Body Micro-Control possessed coordination and agility that far exceeded those without it.

In a real fight, it would be a one-sided toy-around.

"I wanted to tell you earlier, but you said there was no need to hear it."

Xu Xue refused to take the blame.

Bai Qiming's face stiffened. After his wife had investigated Fang Zhuo earlier, she had started by saying 'Martial Arts Junior College student,' and he had immediately cut her off.

"With Fang Zhuo's talent, as long as his Martial Aspect isn't bad, he and our daughter are actually quite..."

"It's good that you know."

Xu Xue glanced at her husband. Seeing that he couldn't bring himself to say the word 'matching' for the longest time, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. He was truly suffering just to save face.

"In the future, don't pull such a sour face when you see our son-in-law. Don't wait until he actually tells you to eat the table, and then see where you can hide your old face."

Bai Qiming cleared his throat and kept a stiff face, remaining silent.

...

Gardener Residential Complex.

When Bai Shiwei hurried back home.

Fang Zhuo was cultivating with a bare upper body by the French window, using the Federation Origin Power Cultivation Method to absorb starry sky origin energy to strengthen his physical body.

"Hubby?"

Bai Shiwei took a look, both surprised and delighted: "You've awakened a Martial Aspect?"

In this era, to absorb starry sky origin energy, one not only had to awaken a Martial Aspect, but it also had to be at least an Mid-tier Martial Aspect, opening up enough acupoints in the body!

"Yes."

Fang Zhuo nodded: "I awakened it at noon."

Absorbing starry sky origin power was not complicated. As long as one operated the cultivation method, the Martial Aspect would automatically draw the origin power into the body, imperceptibly strengthening the physical body.

"No wonder..."

Bai Shiwei thought back to when they sparred after dinner and Fang Zhuo was clearly much stronger. It turned out he had awakened a Martial Aspect and had a huge increase in physical fitness!

"You didn't tell me earlier. Did you do it on purpose to bully me?"

"No, I wanted to find a good time to give you a surprise."

Seeing Bai Shiwei pouting with a resentful look, Fang Zhuo naturally couldn't admit it, or else she would definitely be even harder to coax.

Bai Shiwei didn't dwell on it either, her mind quickly returning to martial arts. Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly: "What level is your physical fitness now?"

"21."

"Ah?!"

"How did it increase so much all at once..."

Bai Shiwei opened her mouth. A Life Level of 21, coupled with Body Micro-Control—this combat power had instantly surpassed hers!

"My Martial Aspect is a bit... special. When it first awakened, it devoured a massive wave of starry sky origin energy. Coupled with a bit of medicinal assistance, it reached level 21."

Fang Zhuo explained briefly.

"Is that so... Rising five levels in a row, how freakish~!"

Bai Shiwei kept muttering to herself, when she suddenly widened her beautiful eyes. Something was wrong... When she tested her physical fitness last time, she had also measured her husband's mental strength as a byproduct.

Level 21 mental strength!

Awakening only after mental strength exceeded level 20 meant that her husband had not awakened one of the nine recorded Superior Martial Aspects, but a brand-new Superior Martial Aspect that had never been seen before!

Seeing the brilliant light in Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes, Fang Zhuo knew she had figured it out, and immediately smiled: "Don't tell anyone else for now."

"Why?"

Bai Shiwei didn't understand: "With the appearance of a new Superior Martial Aspect, if you join a large martial artist conglomerate, you can absolutely sign a top-tier contract!"
