A Spiritual Master had a huge advantage over a Warrior in the early stages: flight.
With this one ability alone, they could accomplish things that ordinary Warriors found extremely difficult.
For example, finding monsters became easier, so naturally, they could earn money faster!
"Improving my strength comes first." Yang Wu closed his eyes and immediately tried to sense it again.
As time passed, his perception of Cosmic Energy gradually became clearer.
Yang Wu concentrated his consciousness on the "Five Hearts" and naturally released streams of thought about "Absorbing Cosmic Energy."
He felt the speed at which the centers of his feet, the centers of his palms, and the Baihui Acupoint atop his head absorbed Cosmic Energy suddenly begin to increase—by more than a hundredfold in an instant.
If sensing Cosmic Energy at first had been like water slowly leaking into Yang Wu's body, drop by drop, through a crack in a pipe,
then the crack in the pipe had now widened, even splitting apart completely. Cosmic Energy poured into Yang Wu's body like a flowing stream.
"Ah~~~" As the Gene Primary Energy entered his body, Yang Wu felt a shudder deep within his bone marrow, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
Second by second, time passed. As Cosmic Energy continued to be absorbed... Yang Wu's body kept changing.
From his skin, muscles, and bones on the surface to every deeper cell—even the Gene Substance itself—everything underwent subtle changes.
In the depths of Yang Wu's brain region, beyond his awareness, his Mental Power also grew stronger as Cosmic Energy continued to pour in.
This was the evolution of life itself, a transformation and optimization of his life genes!
As the optimization progressed, Yang Wu's Mental Power and Gene Origin Force continued to grow, while his physique improved rapidly.
"Since birth, the human body has never actively absorbed Cosmic Energy, so it has always been in a state of hunger." Yang Wu mused silently.
"And the first time one absorbs Cosmic Energy is when one absorbs the most energy and improves the fastest!"
"Starting from the second cultivation session, the degree of improvement becomes much smaller each time."
Therefore, the degree of improvement after this "first" cultivation of Cosmic Energy... also represented a person's aptitude.
Someone might increase their punching power by about 300 kilograms during their first cultivation session. That was the common level for ordinary Quasi-Warriors.
Someone else might increase their punching power by 600 kilograms, which counted as fairly outstanding among Quasi-Warriors.
Another person might increase their punching power by 1,000 kilograms... That already made them an elite among Quasi-Warriors.
As for someone like Luo Feng, who increased his punching power by 2,000 kilograms, he was a genius Quasi-Warrior!
"What incredible strength!" Yang Wu clenched his fist and revealed a smile. "As expected of the Five Hearts Facing Source Method after the Ten Thousand Times Amplification of the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method!"
Yang Wu was not entirely sure how much his punching power had increased after successfully cultivating Gene Origin Force this time.
However, he could roughly estimate how much strength he possessed now.
Even if his aptitude was inferior to Luo Feng's, the strength he had gained was definitely greater than Luo Feng's!
At the same time, Yang Wu's thoughts stirred. The clothes he had taken off nearby, and even Yang Wu himself, began to float into the air in an orderly manner.
"I don't have Luo Feng's Solid Dark Gold Sphere, but my strength as a Spiritual Master has also improved considerably." Yang Wu smiled.
Of course, because there was no hidden Mental Power in his mind, he could not be like "true" Spiritual Master Luo Feng, whose strength was two minor realms higher than that of a Warrior.
On the third day after the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, Yang Wu remained unknown.
In truth, his aptitude had been fairly ordinary before. As for whether he should rashly reveal his extraordinary "aptitude," Yang Wu had yet to make up his mind.
Displaying his aptitude might mean that even Hong and Lei Shen would not bother with him, but it would not protect him from vile people.
Once the benefits were great enough—for example, during the struggle over Mu Ya Crystals—even Planet-level experts could be beaten to death. What did an Apprentice like him count for?
Meanwhile, just as Yang Wu had imagined, Luo Feng returned safely from the police station.
Although Luo Feng had not displayed his strength, Yang Wu could tell from Luo Feng's vigorous appearance that his aptitude as a Spiritual Master had awakened.
On the second day after Luo Feng's return, before dawn, Luo Feng knocked on Yang Wu's door.
He dragged Yang Wu, who had cultivated Gene Origin Force and Mental Power all night, straight out of bed and hurried toward the Limit Martial Hall.
Luo Feng seemed quite curious about his current strength as well.
However, Yang Wu did not expose him. He merely grumbled under his breath and yawned as Luo Feng dragged him to the Limit Martial Hall.
Yet something seemed to happen on the way that Yang Wu had not expected.
"Give me ten buns." Yang Wu had cultivated all night and was indeed a little hungry, so he planned to fill his stomach first.
If he had been at home, with his mother there, he would indeed have had no worries about food or clothing. That was why he had never bought buns before.
"Here are your ten buns." Yang Wu handed over the money with one hand, and the shopkeeper handed over the buns with the other.
[Congratulations, Host. Through a legitimate transaction, you have obtained 10 buns. Would you like to perform a Ten Thousand Times Amplification?]
Yang Wu's hand stopped in place as he took the buns.
Yang Wu was a little confused. Would they be amplified into 100,000 buns, or would they become ten higher-grade buns?
The buns were very ordinary. It was quite possible that they would be amplified into 100,000 buns, which would probably leave Yang Wu dumbfounded on the spot.
But if Ten Thousand Times Amplification produced ten high-grade buns, that would be a pretty good amplification.
[Ding, Ten Thousand Times Amplification amplifies the buns themselves, not their quantity.]
"Hm?" Yang Wu was instantly stunned.
Aside from when it had first been activated, the Ten Thousand Times Amplification System had never displayed any "awareness."
Now that it had suddenly appeared to answer his question, Yang Wu could not help being greatly surprised.
However, Yang Wu had no time to worry about that now. He only wanted to see how miraculous the buns would be after the Ten Thousand Times Amplification.
[Ten buns have been successfully amplified ten thousand times. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 10 "Magical Buns."]
Yang Wu glanced at them. The buns still looked exactly the same, with no visible changes.
Yang Wu immediately took a bite and swallowed it. The bun seemed to release streams of miraculous energy that flowed into all four limbs and hundreds of bones in Yang Wu's body.
Yang Wu had just woken up that morning and naturally had not yet had time to absorb Gene Primary Energy to strengthen his body.
After this miraculous energy entered his body, it was continuously absorbed by his cells and automatically transformed into Gene Origin Force and Mental Power.
In other words, by eating the buns, Yang Wu achieved the same effect as absorbing Gene Origin Force and Mental Power.
However, this effect came quickly and vanished just as quickly.
Clearly, the Mental Power and Gene Origin Force contained within them were nowhere near the limit his body could absorb.
"I never expected these Magical Buns to contain such miraculous Cosmic Energy. After the body absorbs it, it can naturally transform it into Gene Origin Force and Mental Power." Yang Wu was secretly delighted.
The Magical Buns had such an astonishing effect, and for now, they did not seem to have any side effects.
If his mother and younger sister ate them, would they be able to absorb Gene Origin Force as well?
"Boss, give me ten more buns."
Yang Wu bought another ten buns from the shopkeeper.
Ten Magical Buns might not even be enough for him alone. It would not be too late to buy buns for his parents and younger sister after he went back.
