Chapter 19: Moving to Bright Moon Community

A few days later, in Wang Kun's room, after another failed attempt to cultivate the genetic energy technique "Five Hearts Facing Heaven," Wang Kun could not help but feel helpless.

"It seems my talent for cultivation really leaves much to be desired. I remember Luo Feng managed to sense cosmic energy after only a few hours, but I've been trying for days now without the slightest clue."

"Forget it, I'll stop cultivating for now. Anyway, I have my cheat system; to improve strength and speed, I just need to add attribute points."

"It's been several days already. I talked to Luo Feng this morning—he said he was training at the Limit Martial Hall. According to the storyline, Luo Feng has just awakened his psychic power, his strength has soared, and he joined the Limit Martial Hall ahead of schedule."

"Though I haven’t managed to sense cosmic energy yet, I still have several attribute points left. I’d better use them all now!"

With that, Wang Kun directly opened the system interface in his mind.

The Deep Blue Attribute System [Invincible Version]

"Deep Blue, I want to add points!"

Immediately, Wang Kun allocated three attribute points to his punch strength and speed.

In an instant, his punch strength shot up from 2410 kg to 5410 kg, and his speed increased from 39 m/s to 69 m/s.

With this overall enhancement, his psychic power also rose from 10,000 kg to 18,000 kg, equivalent to the strength of an intermediate warrior.

That afternoon, when Luo Feng returned to the Southern Shore Community, news of his joining the Limit Martial Hall and moving into Mingyue Community quickly spread throughout the Southern Shore Community and several nearby affordable housing complexes.

Hearing the news, Wang Kun took the initiative to call Luo Feng and congratulate him, further strengthening their relationship.

Wang Kun admired Luo Feng, the protagonist of fate in this world. Building a connection with him early could only be advantageous.

After all, this world was fraught with danger.

Wang Kun’s talent and luck were far inferior to Luo Feng’s; if not for the cheat system, even becoming a warrior would be a challenge.

So befriending Luo Feng now meant that in future dangerous situations, he could rely on him.

The next morning, Wang Kun arrived at the Limit Martial Hall in Yian District and deliberately displayed his dramatically increased strength in front of Coach Jiang Nian.

"Wang Kun, try hitting the punching target again!" Jiang Nian looked at Wang Kun with excitement.

Soon, under Jiang Nian's gaze, Wang Kun delivered a punch to the test target.

The display immediately showed a number: 5400 kg.

This time, Wang Kun didn’t hide his strength, since he had already obtained the genetic energy cultivation technique. With this as cover, the stronger his performance, the more attention he’d receive from the Limit Martial Hall.

The more attention he got early on, the better the contract he’d be offered.

Seeing the astonishing number on the display, Jiang Nian inwardly exclaimed,

"Yesterday Luo Feng’s punch tested at 3100 kg, but today Wang Kun is even more impressive. His first cultivation of genetic energy increased his strength by fivefold."

"A genius even more monstrous than Luo Feng! And Wang Kun is Luo Feng’s schoolmate, only a few months older. Yian District is sure to become famous!"

Jiang Nian then had Wang Kun test his speed and neural reaction.

Both scores were equally outstanding, reaching advanced warrior levels.

After the tests, Jiang Nian quickly called headquarters and took Wang Kun to the Limit Martial Hall's main headquarters in the central district of Jiangnan Base City.

At headquarters, several chief instructors and Supervisor Zhuge Tao were already waiting in the testing hall for Wang Kun.

"Wang Kun, this is Supervisor Zhuge of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Hall main headquarters."

"Hello, Supervisor Zhuge!"

"Good. Let’s begin the tests," Zhuge Tao smiled.

Wang Kun was tested again in front of the many instructors and Supervisor Zhuge Tao.

After the tests, Zhuge Tao looked at Wang Kun with even greater warmth.

"Wang Kun, are you willing to join the Limit Martial Hall now?"

"I am willing!" Wang Kun had been waiting for this moment; he would never refuse.

"Excellent. As per tradition, you may choose a villa in either Yangzhou City or the main headquarters district."

"In addition, you’ll receive 50 million in startup funds and up to 100 million in manuals for movement, guidance, and attack techniques."

"Thank you, Supervisor!" Wang Kun thanked him repeatedly.

Though Wang Kun didn’t know the exact terms offered to Luo Feng, it was clear that the conditions he now received were at least equal, if not better.

After all, he had shown greater strength than Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was now an intermediate warrior, while Wang Kun had reached advanced warrior level.

Of course, Wang Kun knew that, as the favored son of destiny, Luo Feng’s strength would surge again when he took the official warrior combat assessment.

After lingering at the main headquarters for a few hours, Wang Kun returned to the Southern Shore Community at five in the afternoon.

He had already called his parents ahead of time, so upon arrival, they were waiting for him outside the community.

Early the next morning, after packing some clothes, Wang Kun’s family moved into Mingyue Community.

Since Wang Kun and Luo Feng moved in one after the other, they became next-door neighbors.

A week later, in a spacious training room inside the villa, Wang Kun deftly controlled several flying knives with his psychic power, making them dance around him.

After a while, the flying knives streaked through the air at high speed, striking targets on the training room walls.

Bang! Bang!

A series of metallic impacts rang out as the steel plate serving as the target was pierced with multiple holes.

Though the knives were powerful, those that struck the steel plate were nearly ruined.

"These ordinary flying knives are still too weak. If they were made of special alloy, they’d penetrate the steel plate much more easily."

Wang Kun considered his results quietly.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to buy better knives, but ordinary people simply couldn’t purchase the equipment used by warriors.

Though Wang Kun and Luo Feng had joined the Limit Martial Hall ahead of schedule, their identities were still only as candidate warriors.

By regulation, only candidate warriors who passed the combat assessment were true warriors.

With that status, they could access exclusive warrior websites and stores to freely purchase manuals and weaponry.

So even though Wang Kun had money, he lacked the qualification and channels to spend it.

Over the past few days, Wang Kun had bought a car and some items available to ordinary people—like the alloy flying knives and steel needles he used now.

He bought these not just for daily practice, but also to prepare for his next journey.

After all, the system’s cooldown for travel between worlds would end in two days.
