The method for cultivating Gene Primary Energy was previously the only one in the world: the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method.
However, when it came to Guidance Techniques, there were thousands upon thousands of them across the globe.
As for the function of a Guidance Technique, it was to increase the daily "appetite" of every single cell.
For example, after ten minutes of normal cultivation, one might be unable to continue absorbing Gene Primary Energy to strengthen their power.
But if one practiced a Guidance Technique, they might be able to absorb it for an hour, or even longer.
Clearly, practicing Guidance Techniques of different levels could lead to a massive disparity in the speed of Gene Primary Energy cultivation, with differences of several dozen times being entirely possible.
If I can obtain a stronger Guidance Technique and then perform the Ten Thousand Times Amplitude, wouldn't that be heaven-defying? Yang Wu could not help but feel secretly excited.
Even if his talent was poor, if one year of his cultivation equaled ten years of someone else's, could it still be considered poor?
Although Yang Wu and Luo Feng were both in the Yi'an District, they were not actually in the same residential compound.
Therefore, after passing the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, they parted ways to return to their respective homes.
Tell Mom, Dad, and my little sister. Yang Wu thought silently; this seemed to be the obsession of the original body.
A Quasi-Warrior... in truth, the situation in Yang Wu's family was even worse than Luo Feng's.
They had lived in poverty for so many years, and now that the original body had worked hard for so long and finally achieved something, 'Yang Wu' had essentially usurped his place!
Although the soul of the original body had already "cooled," some of its obsessions could still influence him.
"I must pass the assessment and let Mom and my little sister move into a big house, a villa!"
"The villa must face the sun so that the sunlight can shine in completely!"
"I'll let Mom stop working so hard as a housekeeper and let her enjoy a comfortable life at home!"
"I'll let Dad have professional nurses to care for him, and perhaps even make a full recovery!"
"I'll let my little sister live without any burdens, so she can go out and play happily after finishing her studies!"
Standing on the side of the street at Tong'an Road Station, Yang Wu thought of these things.
Perhaps only by fulfilling these obsessions would the original body's lingering thoughts stop affecting him...
"Beep... beep..."
Yang Wu took his phone out of his pocket, dialed the number, and waited.
"Hello, Old Brother, you've failed so many times, how did this Quasi-Warrior Assessment go?" The worried voice of Yang Wu's little sister, Yang Li, came through the phone.
"Haha, you don't even look at who your brother is. Through my unremitting efforts, of course I passed this time." Yang Wu laughed.
"Mm, Old Mother is home too? That's good, let Mom answer the phone."
"Hello, Mom, it's me, Xiao Wu." Listening to his mother's happy and excited voice on the phone, Yang Wu was extremely moved.
After all, "he" had worked too hard and for too long for this day.
"Old Mother, you've asked about this three times already. I really passed the assessment this time, and the Quasi-Warrior certificate will be sent home in a few days."
"And I've already had lunch; I ate with the other two who passed the assessment. How is Dad doing now?"
After a brief conversation, Yang Wu hung up the phone, a smile appearing on his face.
Happy, satisfied!
He had struggled for so long, exercising diligently since he was a child—wasn't it all for this day?
"Click!"
Yang Wu took out his key and skillfully opened the front door.
"Brother, you're back!"
As soon as Yang Wu walked in, a crisp voice came from the room.
Near the kitchen in the living room, there was a girl around sixteen years old with two bull's horn braids; it was Yang Wu's little sister.
She was sitting on a small stool, fumbling to organize a vegetable basin filled with greens on her lap.
"Mm, Little Sister."
Yang Wu closed the door and swept his gaze across the room, taking in the familiar yet strange home.
His family's situation was indeed not as good as Luo Feng's.
"Brother, congratulations on becoming a Quasi-Warrior!" Yang Li said with pleasant surprise.
Although his body now housed a different soul, he still felt a pang of heartache looking at this thin little girl with sickly pale skin.
Yang Wu walked up quickly, wanting to take the vegetable basin from his little sister's hands to help, but was held back tightly by Yang Li.
"Oh, go away. You're clumsy, and since you've become a Quasi-Warrior, you should focus on your cultivation," Yang Li refused.
"If you really care about your little sister and want me to live better, then become a Warrior faster, or find me a sister-in-law to come help out!"
Ever since their father had been paralyzed in a car accident five years ago and eventually became a vegetative state, the entire family had been supported almost entirely by their mother's housekeeping work.
It wasn't until Yang Wu obtained the status of an Advanced Student at the martial arts gym two years ago that he had some income from tutoring, similar to Luo Feng, to subsidize the family.
But his little sister's schooling cost money, and their father's illness was the biggest financial drain; they had long owed quite a bit of debt.
Given the current market for betrothal gifts and their family situation, even if he became an Advanced Student, if he wasn't a Warrior, how could anyone be willing to marry Yang Wu?
"Click!"
The door lock clicked again, and a middle-aged woman with a weary face opened the door and walked in; it was the mother of the Yang Wu siblings.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Wu, what were you two talking about just now? Did Xiao Wu really get a girlfriend? When will you bring her back for me to see?" Yang Wu's mother asked with a look of pleasant surprise.
"..." Yang Wu was speechless. "Mom, we were just joking. What girlfriend? I have no woman in my heart; only then can my blade be naturally divine."
"How old are you, still talking such nonsense? No wonder you can't find a girlfriend," Yang Wu's mother sighed.
Good grief, Yang Wu really felt it was good grief.
In his previous life, he was an orphan and no one forced him to marry.
He didn't expect that just after arriving in the Swallowing the Stars World, he would be forced into marriage immediately.
However, in an era after the Great Nirvana where one could register for marriage at eighteen, how could his mother not be anxious about someone like Yang Wu, who was approaching thirty and still a bachelor?
Night!
Silent and still, Yang Wu's breathing was already barely audible.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, one hour!
Without realizing it, Yang Wu had been sensing the Gene Primary Energy for an hour through the Five Hearts Facing Source Method.
Unfortunately, even though the Five Hearts Facing Source Method was more profound than the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method and made it easier to sense Cosmic Energy, he still hadn't succeeded.
But gradually, Yang Wu forgot the time, forgot the sensing of Cosmic Energy, and even forgot himself.
In this state, Yang Wu seemed to feel that everything had become different.
"So comfortable." Yang Wu vaguely sensed wisps of warmth passing through the soles of his feet, the centers of his palms, and his head into his body.
Gene Primary Energy? No, that's not right, it seems there is also Mental Power...
Seeming to have a slight realization, Yang Wu slowly opened his eyes, but suddenly discovered this strange scene around his body and was immediately startled.
The Five Hearts Facing Source Method was indeed miraculous; not only did it allow him to sense Gene Primary Energy, but he also felt Mental Power.
Logically speaking... an ordinary person on Earth, if they didn't have the talent of a Spiritual Master, like Luo Feng's Dark Gold Sphere or something similar, it was almost impossible to become a Spiritual Master.
But the Five Hearts Facing Source Method not only made him a Warrior, it seemed to have made him a Spiritual Master as well.
As for his family, he paid tribute to the Martial Ancestor, and in the original work, Yang Wu seemed to have a little sister.
