At the entrance to the Luo family's villa in Mingyue Residential Area, Yangzhou City District.

"Bang, bang!"

Xiao Yu kept knocking on the Luo family's door.

"Who is it?" Luo's mother Gong Xinlan asked.

"Auntie, it's me, Xiao Yu, Luo Feng's friend," Xiao Yu answered.

"Oh, it's Little Yu."

The villa door quickly opened, and Luo's mother Gong Xinlan ushered Xiao Yu inside and had him sit down in the living room.

"Little Feng, your friend is here," Luo's mother Gong Xinlan called upstairs.

"I'll be right down," Luo Feng replied from upstairs, and the banging stopped at the same time.

"Auntie, don't trouble yourself. I've been here so many times already." Xiao Yu watched as Gong Xinlan poured tea and brought over fruit.

It was obvious that the Luo family's life was getting better and better. Not only had their household supplies improved, but they had even hired a nanny.

"Xiao Yu, what brings you here?" Luo Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What, I can't come visit when I have nothing to do?" Xiao Yu joked. "Besides, I'm also Luo Hua's business partner!"

"Of course you can." Luo Feng pretended to punch Xiao Yu in the chest.

Xiao Yu reacted with lightning speed. He raised his left hand slightly and caught Luo Feng's fist. Although Luo Feng had changed speeds once in the middle of the attack, he still couldn't escape being caught.

"Oh! Brother, not bad!" Luo Feng praised him. "When you have time, let's go practice in my training room."

"Sure." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement. He also wanted to exchange a few moves with Luo Feng.

The two of them headed upstairs as they talked.

"Have some tea before you go up!" Luo's mother Gong Xinlan complained. She wasn't complaining about Xiao Yu, but about Luo Feng.

"Auntie, it's fine. We'll come back down and drink it later. It won't get cold," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

He was planning to beat Luo Feng up after warming up with some tea.

The two soon arrived at Luo Feng's roughly one-hundred-square-meter training room.

"Before we fight, let me tell you about something important." Seeing that Luo Feng was about to make a move, Xiao Yu quickly stopped him.

"Fine, as long as we get to fight." Luo Feng had been wanting to find someone to spar with, and now one had practically been delivered to him. How could he let the opportunity slip away?

Xiao Yu took an exquisitely packaged box from the backpack behind him and gave it to Luo Feng.

"What is this?" Luo Feng asked doubtfully as he accepted it.

"This is Purple Light Dew. There are three bottles in total, fifty milliliters each," Xiao Yu said.

"What is Purple Light Dew?" Luo Feng asked, confused. He had never heard of it.

"I obtained it by chance. It should be an extraterrestrial item. Look, the writing on the packaging doesn't look like any language from Earth." Xiao Yu opened the package and took out a bottle.

Xiao Yu then explained the uses and method of taking Purple Light Dew to Luo Feng.

"This is great. My family's strength can also rise to Beginner Warrior Level. That way, they'll have a certain ability to protect themselves." Luo Feng said happily, "Thank you, brother!"

"Come on, let's spar! I'll let you attack first." Xiao Yu took up a stance.

Since the two were only sparring, they naturally fought barehanded. They had neither weapons nor Combat Suits.

"Okay."

The moment Luo Feng's voice fell, he took a step forward and appeared beside Xiao Yu, punching toward his throat.

"Good kid. Even in a spar, you know to attack a weak point." Xiao Yu smiled.

His left hand formed a loose grip and instantly arrived before his chest, tightly catching Luo Feng's fist. He forcefully pushed forward and let go, causing Luo Feng's body to lose its balance. Luo Feng quickly adjusted himself, and when he saw that his fist had been held fast, he attacked Xiao Yu's abdomen with his other fist from an extremely hidden angle.

Xiao Yu seemed to have known it in advance. He bent and slightly raised his right leg, blocking Luo Feng's attack.

With his fist blocked, Luo Feng pushed off hard with his right leg and flipped around Xiao Yu in a circle. To avoid actually injuring Luo Feng, Xiao Yu released his fist.

Without even looking behind him, Xiao Yu kicked backward with his right foot, sending Luo Feng, who had tried to launch a sneak attack from behind, flying backward.

Xiao Yu had used only the strength of an Advanced Warrior Level with that kick, roughly matching Luo Feng. It wouldn't injure him, but it probably wouldn't feel good either.

"Again."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the training room, their fists and feet constantly collided. Xiao Yu remained on the defensive, dismantling every move as it came, without launching a single attack. He was still using the strength of an Advanced Warrior Level, matching Luo Feng.

That was what made it even more terrifying.

Luo Feng had even used the force-generating technique of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, yet he still couldn't gain the upper hand.

"That's enough, Luo Feng. I'm going to attack now. Watch closely and see how the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade is used!" Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu suddenly accelerated and arrived in front of Luo Feng. This was the effect of applying the First Level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade to movement.

Xiao Yu punched straight toward Luo Feng's face. The punch wasn't fast at first, so Luo Feng didn't pay it much attention.

However, just as the punch was about to hit him, it suddenly accelerated, catching Luo Feng off guard. His defensive movement slowed by a beat.

His left eye took a heavy punch and immediately became a black eye.

"Xiao Yu, you used the First Level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade just now, but why was it different from the way I use it?" Luo Feng asked.

"That's right, it was the First Level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. The Nine Heavens Thunder Blade is a force-generating technique. It isn't limited to blade techniques. It can be applied to Punching technique and movement as well." Xiao Yu explained, "To use the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade well, you naturally have to master this force-generating technique perfectly. When you can apply it whenever you use it, you can turn slowness into speed and speed into even greater speed, creating more variations. And this is only the First Level. What about the Second Layer, the Third Layer, or even the Ninth Level?"

A sharp light appeared in Luo Feng's eyes after hearing this. He had felt something like this before, but now Xiao Yu had actually demonstrated it, opening a new door for him like a guiding beacon.

"Come, I'll demonstrate the Second Layer."

Xiao Yu decided to help Luo Feng cross the threshold of cultivating the Second Layer ahead of time.

Xiao Yu demonstrated the Second Layer of the Flowing Light Movement Technique. With two layers of force, the changes in his movement became even more strange and unpredictable.

When he approached Luo Feng, he punched toward his other eye. When the punch was halfway extended, it suddenly slowed once, then accelerated sharply the instant it reached the eye socket. Even though he used only Intermediate Warrior strength, the effect was comparable to that of an Advanced Warrior.

Luo Feng still tried to dodge, but failed again.

"Damn, I have to go out tomorrow!" Luo Feng sighed.

This time, Luo Feng really had two black eyes.

"The hidden force of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade is a force-generating technique. At the current lower levels, physical cultivation can keep up. But what about the Third Layer, the Fourth Level, or even the highest Ninth Level? At its peak, it can unleash seven times one's strength. You can't blindly pursue hardness, or your body will eventually be unable to bear it. You need both firmness and flexibility to achieve the Dao." Xiao Yu said, "Perfect mastery of the Second Layer means being able to completely control the timing of every burst of force. You can unleash the additional two layers of force all at once, or release them separately. To use it at will requires countless repetitions."

Xiao Yu went on to demonstrate the various applications of the Second Layer of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade several more times, displaying it to the fullest.

"Impressive." Luo Feng said, "Thank you, brother!"

"Why be so polite? Since we're brothers, of course I have to help!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Let's go downstairs and have some tea." Luo Feng smiled.

"Let's go." Xiao Yu nodded.

In the living room downstairs, Xiao Yu and Luo Feng chatted continuously about their various experiences in the Wilderness Zone. Luo's mother and Luo's Father listened with great interest, asking questions whenever something caught their attention.

"Big Brother Xiao, the money you had me invest has been doing quite well. It's gone up thirty percent in just over a month." Hearing that Xiao Yu had come, Luo Hua rode the elevator down by himself and sat in a chair.

"Don't worry, Little Hua. I heard you have a girlfriend. How's it going?" Xiao Yu asked.

"It's all right. We're dating," Luo Hua said bashfully.

"Sometimes, you need to show your own strength, and you also need to trust each other. Only a relationship that has weathered hardships can last." Xiao Yu spread his experience like someone who had been through it all.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, unaware that Xiao Yu was still single.

In his previous life, he had focused only on cultivation and salvation. In this life, he had so far been busy only with studying and cultivation.

When am I going to find someone myself? Xiao Yu thought honestly.

After chatting in the Luo family's living room for an hour, Xiao Yu went home to keep his mother company.

Tomorrow, he would also be heading to City No. 003 for training. With his current strength, he had no problem dealing with monsters at Beginner Lord-level strength with all his might.

After the system had upgraded earlier, he still hadn't had time to check the specific contents.

"System, display the upgrade contents."

The system upgrade contents are as follows: 1. Added 2 Wish Tasks. 2. Increased the distance for obtaining Wish Points to 10 meters. 3. Added Wish Copper Coins, Wish Silver Coins, and Wish Gold Coins. The exchange ratio is: 1 Wish Gold Coin = 10,000 Wish Silver Coins = 100,000,000 Wish Copper Coins = 1,000,000,000,000 Wish Points.

"Looks like there are a lot of changes this time."

Xiao Yu carefully studied this system upgrade.

At present, he could set three wishes at once. This would allow him to systematically test the difference in Wish Points required for obtaining items and acquiring abilities through the system.

He also cared a great deal about the second item in the system upgrade. It meant that he no longer needed to touch a monster's corpse to have the system devour it for him. If he continued to investigate, he would discover just how powerful this function was.

He could absorb any nonliving object containing Genetic Energy within ten meters. This meant he could absorb any part of a monster's corpse. In other words, when collecting monster materials in the future, he wouldn't need to lift a finger. With a single thought, he could devour all the unwanted parts, leaving behind only the valuable materials that could be used.

As for the final item, it was simple. He had already realized that after entering the universe, the number of Wish Points required to improve any ability would certainly be astronomical.

"The first wish is set to raise my physical fitness to Apprentice Stage Seven. The second wish is set to perfectly comprehend the Fourth Level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. The third wish is set to increase my genetic multiplier by one fold."

Setup successful.

Host: Xiao Yu First Wish: Raise physical fitness to Apprentice Stage Seven (32,000 Wish Points) Second Wish: Perfectly comprehend the Fourth Level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade (18,000 Wish Points) Third Wish: Increase genetic multiplier by one fold (100 Wish Copper Coins) Remaining Wish Points: 4,000

"Damn, increasing my genetic multiplier by one fold actually requires one million Wish Points." Xiao Yu sighed.

The road ahead is long and arduous!

After finishing his tasks, Xiao Yu began preparing for his trip.

To travel alone to City No. 003, he not only bought plenty of supplies but even prepared two additional oversized backpacks with astonishing capacity.

To enter City No. 003, he first needed to enter the Southeast Military Region base, and then proceed into City No. 003.
