Yang Wu and Luo Feng's moves had clearly changed. It was as though they had been given life, becoming unpredictable, fluid, and refined.

"They actually improved the Basic Saber Technique and Movement Technique... Are their talents really that high?" Jiang Nian's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ah, Instructor."

Facing the main entrance, Yang Wu suddenly noticed Jiang Nian standing at the doorway of the Training Hall and stopped what he was doing.

"You two brats have pretty good Blade Technique and Movement Technique. You must have started practicing from a young age, right?" Jiang Nian asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, before I joined the martial hall, I used to practice swinging and chopping by myself at home for fun." Luo Feng nodded.

"And Yang-ge gave me some pointers just now. My Blade Technique and Movement Technique finally feel like they're getting somewhere."

Jiang Nian froze for a moment. He knew Yang Wu well, after all; Yang Wu had been hanging around Limit Martial Hall for many years.

Precisely because of that, Jiang Nian felt that Yang Wu did not possess such talent...

At least, in his impression, Yang Wu was less talented than Luo Feng.

But judging by what Luo Feng said, why was Yang Wu the one guiding Luo Feng instead?

"Hmm!"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Nian's expression suddenly stiffened.

He stared fixedly at the Blood Shadow Battle Blades in Yang Wu and Luo Feng's hands, seeming even more unable to believe it.

"Instructor?"

Luo Feng was startled by Instructor Jiang Nian's exaggerated expression, though Yang Wu had already guessed part of the reason.

No matter what happened, Yang Wu's future rate of improvement would be rapid.

Since that was the case, he might as well reveal part of his talent from the start. Then his "astonishing" performances in the future would seem a little more "normal."

Besides, Luo Feng in the Original Work had joined Limit Martial Hall early as a Genius. Hadn't he avoided any real targeting?

Then revealing his talent for Gene Primary Energy would not only earn Yang Wu some attention from Limit Martial Hall, but clearly would not be entirely bad either.

"You... you..." Jiang Nian stared at the blade models in their hands in shock, looking at Yang Wu and Luo Feng as if he had seen ghosts.

"You were sparring with 101-kilogram Blood Shadow Battle Blades just now, yet your Movement Technique and Blade Technique were still that agile?"

"No, that's impossible. Absolutely impossible." Instructor Jiang Nian shook his head repeatedly, seemingly unable to accept his own thoughts.

But then Jiang Nian's eyes lit up, because it was the truth—he had seen it with his own eyes!

"Quick, you two brats, go test your punch force on the Punching Power Testing Machine." Instructor Jiang Nian's gaze burned. "Let me see how strong you are now!"

During Yang Wu and Luo Feng's last Quasi-Warrior Assessment, their punch force had only been around 1,100 kilograms.

But only a few days had passed.

Yet they could already wield 101-kilogram Blood Shadow Battle Blades with ease, and their control over their Blade Technique and Movement Technique while swinging and chopping was so skilled. Their strength had certainly reached an astonishing level.

By Jiang Nian's estimate, their strength had at least doubled!

"If I'm right, they must cultivate the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method far faster than ordinary Warriors." Jiang Nian was secretly delighted.

"With the strength they've gained so far, they are fully qualified for headquarters to send someone over."

"If I can recommend them to headquarters, not only will I earn martial hall Contribution Points, I'll also get to show off in front of the other instructors."

Ever since Jiang Nian became a martial hall instructor, his "martial hall Contribution Points" had increased extremely slowly.

And the Warriors of Limit Martial Hall all placed great importance on Contribution Points, such as for half-price discounts and the like.

The fastest way to earn Contribution Points was actually to enter the Wilderness Area and hunt Monsters.

But as an instructor, he could neither frequently enter nor was he permitted to frequently enter the Wilderness Area, so it was naturally difficult for him to gain Contribution Points.

"Luo Feng, you go first. Throw a punch with all your strength!" Jiang Nian looked at Luo Feng.

"Yes, Instructor." Luo Feng nodded, then took a deep breath.

Luo Feng had no intention of hiding his strength. After simply adjusting his breathing, he instantly threw a punch.

Bang!

His fist smashed viciously into the Punching Target, making it sway violently.

Beep!

A set of data appeared clearly on the Punching Power Testing Machine's display—"3111kg."

Even Luo Feng himself was somewhat dumbfounded by that number.

After his Mental Power talent awakened, this was the first time he had tested his strength. He had no idea just how strong he had become.

"3111kg. That means Luo Feng's punch force has increased by roughly 2,000 kilograms. He already meets the standard of a Genius!" Jiang Nian could not help but gasp in shock.

Jiang Nian turned and stared at Luo Feng as though he were a Monster, then glanced at Yang Wu.

If he remembered correctly, Yang Wu had clearly held the upper hand in their spar just now. That meant Yang Wu was even stronger than Luo Feng!

"Quick, Yang Wu, don't just stand there like an idiot. Give it a full-force punch too!" Jiang Nian said excitedly after coming to his senses.

"Okay!"

Yang Wu silently stepped before the Punching Target. With a movement of his body, he gathered almost all the strength in his body into his right hand in an instant, then slammed his fist into the target.

Bang!

As the Punching Target swayed violently back and forth, turbulent waves rose within Jiang Nian's heart.

"5050kg?!"

Even Yang Wu was shocked when he saw the number.

For someone like Luo Feng, setting aside the boost to his strength caused by his Mental Power awakening, his first successful cultivation of Gene Primary Energy had only increased his punch force by around 600 kilograms.

Therefore, based on Yang Wu's understanding of the Yang Wu from the Original Work, gaining three or four hundred kilograms of punch force from his first cultivation of Gene Primary Energy would already have been a decent result.

After all, an ordinary Quasi-Warrior generally only gained around 300 kilograms of punch force.

Even if Yang Wu had also awakened as a Spiritual Master, and his physique had received some enhancement just like Luo Feng's...

Seeing that his punch force had increased by 4,000 kilograms was still utterly inconceivable!

"As expected of the Five Hearts Facing Source Method enhanced ten thousand times. With my talent, I actually increased my punch force by 4,000 kilograms!" Yang Wu sucked in a cold breath.

Judging solely from his first successful cultivation, the Ten Thousand Times Amplification System was insanely powerful!

"I only gained that much strength because my Mental Power awakened. How could Yang-ge have increased so much?" Luo Feng stared dumbfounded at Yang Wu's punch force data.

Luo Feng seemed to have gained 2,000 kilograms of punch force, but most of that boost had come from the awakening of his Mental Power.

And in his eyes, Yang Wu did not suffer from those headaches, so he should not be a Spiritual Master.

Yet under such circumstances, Yang Wu had increased his punch force by 4,000 kilograms. It was simply unimaginable.

"It seems my Golden Finger isn't too bad. Even if my talent is inferior to Luo Feng's, it can still let me take shortcuts in certain areas and surpass him!"

Seeing Luo Feng's shocked expression, Yang Wu could not help but look delighted as well.

"Luo Feng, Yang Wu, you should both be able to use the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method to sense the Gene Primary Energy between heaven and earth now, right?" Jiang Nian guessed.

"Yeah. After the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, I successfully sensed it that very night." Luo Feng nodded.

"Yeah, about the same for me!" Yang Wu lied through his teeth with a straight face.

What he cultivated was not the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, but the stronger Five Hearts Facing Source Method.
