76: Chapter 76 Life Level 34!

"Tell me the details." Fang Zhuo was somewhat curious.

When he left, he had seen that blade strike from Meng Fan; the momentum was terrifying, and he felt Meng Fan had a better chance of winning.

"When you left, Meng Fan was pushing his Martial Aspect 'Zhenyue Giant Spirit' to the limit. In just three strikes, he nearly knocked Zhao Wuxie off the arena," Bai Shiwei said quickly.

"'Zhenyue Giant Spirit' is truly worthy of being the Federation's number one Superior Martial Aspect. However, just when Zhao Wuxie was about to be defeated, he revealed his Martial Aspect, 'Xuanwu'."

"Xuanwu?"

Fang Zhuo was surprised. Over this period, he had learned about other geniuses within the group. As a customized contract genius from last year, Zhao Wuxie had only revealed that he possessed a Superior Martial Aspect but hadn't disclosed which specific one.

"That certainly counters 'Zhenyue Giant Spirit' quite well. So, in the end, did Zhao Wuxie 'turtle' his way to a win against Meng Fan?"

"That's right. Zhao Wuxie was covered in wounds, but he relied on the Innate Divine Ability granted by 'Xuanwu' to hold on until Meng Fan was exhausted, then counterattacked and won the battle."

Bai Shiwei said with some envy: "Zhao Wuxie himself is a customized contract genius of your group. I heard he has already used one portion of phoenix essence blood, which is why he reached Level 39 so quickly. Now that he has won another portion of phoenix essence blood, he can probably go straight for Transcendent!"

A Transcendent Martial Artist—this was her original intention when she first started practicing martial arts!

However, over the past half-month, she had consumed all the remaining six sun-moon essence pills that Fang Zhuo had given her, but her Life Level had only risen to Level 28, still short of Level 29.

It was difficult enough to quickly pass through the Intermediate Martial Artist stage; who knew how many years of hard cultivation it would take once she reached Advanced Martial Artist?

Only then could she see hope for becoming a Transcendent?

Bai Shiwei couldn't help but sigh in her heart, wishing that if she became an Advanced Martial Artist, she could also have a portion of phoenix essence blood...

But she was only thinking about it.

phoenix essence blood could only be produced by the Starry Sky Group. It was said that the annual production was only a few portions, making it extremely rare and precious. Even for the top-tier geniuses within the Shanhe Group, where she was signed, getting the group to help obtain a portion of phoenix essence blood was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Transcendent..."

Fang Zhuo took a few more mouthfuls of rice and silently noted down the name Zhao Wuxie. Perhaps after some time, the other party would be a Transcendent Martial Artist?

Achieving Transcendent status in just over a year—this speed was undeniably fast!

...

After mastering the third stage of the Thunder Fire Blade, Fang Zhuo's daily cultivation became increasingly vigorous.

Out of the twenty-four hours in a day, aside from sleeping, eating, and helping Bai Shiwei with extra training in the evening, he devoted everything to cultivation.

Nearly 16 hours a day, with the majority spent on cultivation and insights into Body Control.

The first stage of Body Control, Inner Sight, was becoming increasingly clear to Fang Zhuo.

Furthermore, throughout the entire month of October, Fang Zhuo frequently visited the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber', booking two hours every few days.

Under the pressure of high gravity, every cell in his body entered an extremely 'hungry' state.

Then, he would consume martial arts cultivation potions to strengthen his physical body, pushing his Life Level to steadily rise.

In October, the 8-hour quota provided by the group contract, combined with the 10 hours of usage time rewarded for refreshing the record of the first floor of the 'Heaven-Reaching Tower'.

Fang Zhuo used up all 18 hours of High-Civilization Gravity Chamber time.

Time passed quietly like this, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.

On this day.

After the door of the 99th floor High-Civilization Gravity Chamber opened, Fang Zhuo walked out with unsteady steps.

"Little Fang."

"You've improved quite a bit lately. You're almost at Level 34, right?"

Old Man Zhang, who was outside the door, asked with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, you have a sharp eye!"

Fang Zhuo was somewhat surprised. Could this gatekeeper, Uncle Zhang, have once been a king? He actually saw through his Life Level and state at a glance.

That was right. Over the past month or so, under the combination of the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber' and unlimited supply of cultivation resources.

His Life Level had risen to Level 33, and right now, he was just a step away from Level 34.

As long as he took advantage of this 'hungry' state to consume martial arts potions and complete his physical reinforcement, his Life Level could definitely reach the next level!

"Heh."

Old Man Zhang chuckled, hands behind his back, and said with an air of composure: "You haven't been in the group for three months yet, right? Your speed of improvement is quite fast. Do you want to break into the top ten of the Combat Power Ranking by the end of the training period?"

"It's been almost three months."

Fang Zhuo smiled and did not respond to the latter question.

Breaking into the top ten of the Combat Power Ranking after the one-year training period was not his goal.

Becoming a Transcendent Martial Artist and killing Ding Nan in one fell swoop was!

Old Man Zhang assumed Fang Zhuo had acquiesced and smiled: "You certainly have a chance. I see that when you walk, your muscles contract and coordinate naturally, without wasting a single bit of strength, and your breathing is completely integrated into the rhythm. Inner Sight must be coming soon."

"Once you get the phoenix essence blood, your Life Level can rapidly rise to 38, or even 39."

"Your combat power amplification and physical data will reach the standard for the top ten. After more than half a year of actual combat training and accumulating experience, you should be able to make it!"

Fang Zhuo appeared humble and receptive. Although he was very hungry, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhang said with satisfaction: "Little Fang, you and Wang Jinhua are both juniors I think highly of. If you can successfully obtain the right to choose your department, remember, do not go to the Operations Department."

"Okay."

Fang Zhuo nodded; he hadn't intended to anyway.

But he didn't know why Old Man Zhang said that.

"Don't overthink it. It's simply that the Operations Department is too busy. The Wilderness Area has been restless lately. I've seen that kid Wang Jinhua running until his legs are about to break, and his blade has been chipped from overuse."

"Every time he comes here, he complains to me. I'm afraid you'll end up doing the same."

Old Man Zhang took out a toothpick, picking his teeth while waving his hand: "Go on. Any later, and you'll waste the 'hungry' state."

"Okay."

...

Group building, 80th floor.

In the training room.

Fang Zhuo took out the martial arts potions he had prepared in advance. qi-blood potions, bone strengthening pills... these were all basic goods, but when used together with the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber', the effect was exceptionally strong, no worse than those pills that cost tens or hundreds of thousands.

He poured out a handful of black bone strengthening pills, tossed them into his mouth, then opened the cap of the qi-blood potion and drank it down.

'Gulp gulp~'

The bone strengthening pills mixed with the qi-blood potion entered his stomach and, in an instant, turned into a warm current, catalyzed into refined energy by his Innate Divine Ability 'Devour'.

Fang Zhuo's body was already in a 'hungry' state, and at this moment, all his cells were greedily devouring the energy. He felt his whole body warm, and it felt like ants were crawling on him.

"This feeling, it's so good."

The physical reinforcement lasted for half an hour.

After the strange sensation of warmth and itching in his body subsided.

Fang Zhuo felt the surging power in his body, a huge sense of satisfaction rising in his heart. He immediately closed his eyes and began to visualize his Martial Aspect.

In the boundless starry sky, a fire-red, massive spherical body slowly revolved, continuously emitting terrifying high temperatures.

Amidst the endless fluctuations, a tiny bit of information was transmitted back:

[Person in Aspect: Fang Zhuo]

[Life Level: 34 (Advanced Martial Artist)]

[Mental Power: 35]

[Body Control: Micro-Perception Perfection (Combat Power Amplification 8x)]

[Thunder Fire Blade: Third Stage (Combat Power Amplification 2.6x)]

[Martial Aspect: Red Flame (Superior)]

[Innate Divine Ability 1: Purification.]

[Innate Divine Ability 2: Devour.]

[Innate Divine Ability 3: Unknown.]

"Life Level 34, basic standard punch force 38,000kg! Now, when I execute the third stage of the Thunder Fire Blade, I shouldn't need to jump to borrow force!"

Fang Zhuo opened his eyes, stood up, and took down a long blade from the weapon rack.

He kept his feet still, simply twisting his waist and swinging his arm to strike with the blade.

The blade cut through the air, and a fire-red blade shadow emerged—this was precisely the third stage of the Thunder Fire Blade.

"As expected...!"

Fang Zhuo felt a sense of relief, as if all restraints had been lifted. One blade strike after another, he wantonly unleashed the third stage of the Thunder Fire Blade.

The training room was filled with fire-red blade light, and the air seemed to have been ignited, becoming dry and sweltering.
