"A-Ming, Xiao Fan, you're back?"

Lei Ming and Jiang Fan walked into Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

Sister Bingbing at the front desk greeted them.

"Sister Bingbing, open a training room for us!"

"Sure!"

Just as Lei Ming finished speaking, Jiang Fan interrupted him.

"If there are any spare rooms, could you open one for me separately?"

Sister Bingbing subconsciously looked at Lei Ming.

Lei Ming froze for a moment and said hesitantly,

"Xiao Fan, we can use the same training room. I can still help you out!"

After saying that, he hurriedly explained,

"I don't mean anything else..."

Normally, whenever Lei Ming and Jiang Fan came over, they used the same training room.

Although Jiang Fan did well in his academic classes, his physical vitality and blood were lacking, and he was far inferior to Lei Ming in martial arts. Thus, when the two trained together, they often exchanged pointers.

But today, Jiang Fan had suddenly asked for a training room of his own, and Lei Ming could not quite figure out what was going on.

Afraid Jiang Fan would misunderstand and think he was being stingy, he hurriedly added an explanation.

Seeing how anxious Lei Ming looked, Jiang Fan felt touched and came up with an excuse.

"A-Ming, I had a bit of an insight today!"

"I need a quieter environment!"

He absolutely could not let anyone discover that he controlled the space. Even with his best friend, he had to hold something back.

At the very least, while he had no ability to protect himself, it was better to keep a low profile!

Hearing that Jiang Fan was not doing this for some messy reason, Lei Ming immediately sighed in relief and said with a smile,

"Alright!"

"Sister Bingbing, open two adjoining training rooms for us!"

After saying that, he turned to Jiang Fan.

"How about that?"

"If there's any problem, you can come ask me in the training room next door anytime!"

Jiang Fan nodded with a smile.

He made his way to the training room as if he knew it by heart.

Out of habit, Jiang Fan locked the door behind him and eagerly sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, he entered the Mysterious Seal space.

"Would you like to bind your identity?"

The moment he appeared on the arena, an icy, genderless voice rang out through the space.

Bind his identity?

There had been no such prompt during his last challenge!

He pondered for a moment, then answered without hesitation.

"Bind!"

As his voice fell, a beam of light descended from above and shone upon his head.

In an instant, he felt a stream of energy coursing through his entire body.

"Please enter a name!"

"Jiang Fan!"

Several seconds later, the light faded, and a panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Jiang Fan Bone Age: 17 Bloodline: Huaxia Cultivation (automatically adapted to the current world): Apprentice Martial Artist Cultivation Techniques: Innate Breathing and Meditation Technique, Five Elements Fist (Minor Accomplishment) Lifespan: 83

Jiang Fan frowned deeply as he looked at the information on the panel.

He could understand the information at the front. Bone age, cultivation, and even cultivation techniques could all be detected through Heaven-Piercing Methods.

The bloodline listed afterward could also be explained. He truly had come from Huaxia in another world.

But what the hell was this lifespan?

Could he only live to eighty-three?

And how had that been detected?

In the world of Blue Star, after being modified by Genetic Serum, everyone's lifespan had increased greatly.

Powerhouses above Level 6 could live past one hundred and fifty years, so long as no accidents occurred.

A Level 9 Martial Saint could even live past two hundred.

So was this eighty-three years calculated from his current cultivation, meaning that was how long he could live?

If that was the case, did it mean his lifespan would increase as his cultivation rose?

If you can't find this book by searching its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!

But what was the point of displaying lifespan within this space?

As Jiang Fan pondered, a voice rang out from the space once more.

"Binding successful!"

"Inheritor, would you like to challenge the next stage?"

Inheritor!

That wording matched what Fang Jue had said back then. So the primary purpose of this space was inheritance?

Why did this inheritance require the aid of this space? And what had happened back then?

"Challenge!"

If there were questions he could not understand, then he would stop thinking about them for now.

According to Fang Jue, if he kept challenging onward, he should eventually find the truth.

Since that was the case, then he would continue challenging!

He also needed to improve his strength through these challenges!

As Jiang Fan's voice fell, his surroundings spun and shifted, and the countdown began.

"10... 9... 8... 7..."

Jiang Fan instantly became vigilant, staring at his surroundings. His legs braced against the ground as he assumed a fighting stance.

When the countdown ended, a graceful figure lunged toward him.

Jiang Fan hurriedly raised his arms to block, but in the next instant—

A tremendous force crashed into him, blasting him to the far end of the arena.

At the edge of the arena seemed to be an invisible wall that stopped him, keeping him from falling outside.

Instead, he slid down along the invisible barrier.

"I'm not dead!"

Jiang Fan's heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly looked toward his opponent.

At the center of the arena stood a female cultivator dressed in plain clothes, seemingly clad in ancient attire.

Yet it was not a one-piece dress. Like modern clothing, her upper and lower garments were separate.

Jiang Fan took a deep breath and was about to rise when his vision suddenly blurred.

The next moment, he was back in the training room!

Can't beat her! Can't beat her!

Jiang Fan gave a bitter smile.

But he was not discouraged!

He had never expected to succeed in the challenge to begin with!

Although he did not know how many stages this Martial Arts Space had, by his understanding, every stage afterward should see an enormous rise in difficulty.

He had only barely cleared the first stage, so immediately challenging the second stage had been unreasonable from the start!

For now, he would set the matter of the space aside!

He would focus on cultivation!

Then he would challenge the next stage and explore the secrets of the space!

With that thought, Jiang Fan entered the space once again with a movement of his mind.

"Inheritor, would you like to challenge the next stage?"

"No challenge!"

After replying, Jiang Fan sat down cross-legged and began cultivating!

As he breathed and meditated,

outside, in the training room, mist swirled around his body!

Invisible energy seemed to gather around him, forming an enormous cocoon.

Inside the space, Jiang Fan circulated the Innate Breathing and Meditation Technique along its cultivation route for several hundred cycles.

Then, recalling the forms of Thunder Martial Arts Hall's Five Elements Fist and combining them with the insights he had gained from fighting Fang Jue, he practiced the Five Elements Fist several dozen more times.

Only when he was utterly exhausted did he return to the training room with a thought.

Just like last time, he was brimming with energy in reality, without the slightest sense of fatigue.

He raised his arm and, sure enough, black impurities had once again been forced out through his skin.

He hurried to the bathroom and took a shower.

When he came out, he eagerly swung his arm.

The combat power testing device displayed the number 158.

He tested his vitality and blood according to the procedure.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

When the machine displayed the red number "1.17," Jiang Fan was ecstatic!

Sure enough! He had entered the ranks of a Level 1 Martial Artist!

This time, both his vitality and blood and his combat power index had met the standard!

Did this mean he had already awakened?

No!

Did this mean that without using any Genetic Serum at all, he could still break through the realms of this world?

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time!
