The elevator descended and opened.

Rows of track spotlights illuminated the space from above, and soft light emanated from the surrounding walls, brightening the nearly two-hundred-square-meter area.

Lin Yunqing said softly:

"This place was originally intended to be a wellness retreat simulating natural scenery, where my mother could meditate, cultivate Qi, and nurture her spirit.

It was later abandoned, so I had a complete vitality testing instrument installed. It's the latest model from Santan Heavy Industry, so the quality is definitely good."

My goodness!

Qin Shi felt like he had walked into a superhero's secret base, finding everything novel.

He thought to himself:

"Rich people's way of speaking is so niche. Spending millions like it's hundreds of dollars.

I'd have to think twice even if I ate a few more servings of Nutritional Paste."

Lin Yunqing opened the silver-white machine placed in the center, connected the power, and flipped the switch, emitting a low, vibrating hum.

"New No. 1 Middle School is a strong public school in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area with complete equipment. Assistant Teacher Qin should know how to operate the test, right?"

Qin Shi looked at the device, which resembled an MRI machine, and nodded: "Take off your clothes, lie down, then stand up, sit down."

Lin Yunqing adjusted the data as she spoke, "Yes, first let's check your physical strength and the condition of your body.

If necessary, we can also test your mental strength."

Santan Heavy Industry truly lives up to its reputation as a national brand in Dongxia.

The latest testing instrument could even capture the brain's mental fluctuations.

The instrument at New No. 1 Middle School didn't have this function.

Looking at Lin Yunqing, who was busy, Qin Shi politely asked, "Teacher Lin, should I take off my clothes then?"

"Go ahead," Lin Yunqing replied casually without looking up.

Qin Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Teacher Lin had suddenly blushed and acted shy, it would have made him awkward.

Fortunately, this woman had the straightforward and uninhibited demeanor of a martial artist, completely unconcerned with such matters.

Next time I use the 'Intentional Fist', I can go a bit lighter on the force.

He thought to himself.

"You can begin now."

Lin Yunqing sat at the control panel, quietly putting away her phone, which had its camera open.

She then calmly swiped through her contacts and typed a message:

"[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: 1.8m tall handsome young man, vitality above twelve, underage Old Martial Arts Faction genius, high-quality student prospect, buy quickly.]"

Beep beep.

Her phone vibrated. A reply arrived.

"[Lightning Tornado Slash: As everyone knows, tall, handsome young man, and Old Martial Arts Faction. These three conditions cannot exist simultaneously.]"

"[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Seeing is believing. One bottle of United Pharmaceuticals' Level 4 Energy Liquid for a trade.]"

"[Lightning Tornado Slash: Liar! You'll never eat four Nutritional Meals in your life and your vitality will forever be stuck at a bottleneck!]"

"[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Hurry up and send the money! I'll include a vitality physical report as a bonus!]"

"[Lightning Tornado Slash: Transfer amount 48888]"

"[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Payment received]"

"Profitable, profitable!"

Lin Yunqing kept her promise, opened her photo album, and sent a few pictures showing the most defined muscle lines.

She also commented: "The Old Martial Arts Faction doesn't use supplements and emphasizes natural body cultivation. They are indeed more pleasing to the eye than the muscle-bound guys from the New Martial Arts Faction. Tsk tsk tsk, makes my mouth water."

Unaware that he had been sold out, Qin Shi took off his shirt and pants, leaving only his boxer briefs.

He took a deep breath, lay down on the large instrument's support bed, and was slowly slid into the cabin.

The cantilever arm rotated, and the support bed, which had been horizontal, was turned vertical as it closed.

Under Lin Yunqing's operation, a series of beeps sounded, and circles of light blue light flashed rapidly, increasing in speed.

The vitality testing instrument relies on the "Heart-Magnetic Theory," proposed by the renowned scholar Yan Tongxuan, which has spawned countless related applied technologies.

It's considered one of the most famous inventions of the past thousand years.

During the turbulent Old Era of Dongxia, vitality was difficult to materialize and could only be vaguely described by conceptual terms like "Innate Qi," "Source of All Things," or "Cosmic Primal Force."

It wasn't until Yan Tongxuan, a descendant of the First Generation Martial Gods, proposed two major theories as a grandmaster of spiritual cultivation.

One was "Heart-Magnetism," and the other was "Three Realms."

The former involved an instrument made of special materials to create a strong magnetic field environment. This field would resonate with bioelectricity, extracting the subtle and weak vitality fluctuation signals.

Combined with body imaging and skeletal scans, all these technologies were integrated.

Finally, the numerical unit of vitality was accurately and completely determined.

As for the latter, it became the crucial cornerstone for all professions requiring the cultivation of mental power, such as Mechanists, Meditators, and Psionicists!

From then on, Yan Tongxuan was elevated to godhood, and the "Tongxuan Award," representing the highest academic achievement in Dongxia, was established.

"Assistant Teacher Qin's physical strength is astonishingly high."

Lin Yunqing's two fingers lightly moved, magnifying the gradually clearer muscle image.

It was evident that Qin Shi's limbs and torso were exceptionally powerful, as if wrapped and connected by tough "sinews," making him seem like a single entity.

In this state, every exertion of force in his punches and kicks delivered ten-tenths of his power.

Especially the extremely active vitality fluctuations, which were vigorous and abundant.

Like a babbling brook, or like a majestic green mountain.

Though not vast or towering, it was light and vibrant.

The latter was even more precious, representing the promising future unique to a young man.

"The secret medicine refinement of the Old Martial Arts Faction is truly a monstrous inheritance. No wonder my glasses were shattered by a single punch. Assistant Teacher Qin's physical condition far exceeds his inherent vitality, which means his potential has not been fully tapped yet."

The more Lin Yunqing looked, the more she felt she had struck gold, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, clamping her legs together.

"If it were the New Martial Arts Faction, with his excellent conditions, he'd be recommended to the youth training coaches of major corporations.

With some Stellar Cup results, he could easily be molded into a star Martial Artist.

Unfortunately, the Old Martial Arts Faction is a bit lacking, not many people want them."

When Lin Yunqing calmed down, she couldn't help but feel regret.

For major corporations that preferred signing young geniuses to train them for the Stellar Cup arena.

Betting on the Old Martial Arts Faction was often a gamble.

Because their professional lifespans were too short, making them unsuitable for marketing and brand building.

No one could guarantee that they would succeed every time they broke through their physical limits.

If they couldn't continue and receive the feedback, the potential intensely consumed beforehand would turn into a deficit.

It would then become a bottomless pit, fiercely devouring their own vitality.

Leading to consequences like physical decline, rapid aging, and a drop in rank.

This was a hurdle that even the First Generation Ten Prodigies couldn't overcome.

"But as my dad said, there are no children who cry every day, and no gamblers who lose every day.

Going all-in can sometimes be a form of wisdom!"

Lin Yunqing pondered, a hint of hesitation appearing in her eyes.

She had stumbled upon a rare, undeveloped, and untamed gem from the Old Martial Arts Faction.

Should she seize the opportunity and spend a little money?

Or go all-in?

"The vitality peak has started to rise."

Before Lin Yunqing could come to a decision, Qin Shi, inside the instrument cabin, had entered the second stage.

As the space expanded, he began to crouch and sit, grasping for Qi sensation.

Scorching Qi stimulated his body, like handfuls of boiling water being poured over him, gradually turning his skin red.

Heat was released, body temperature rose, symbolizing the vitality curve steadily climbing, soaring upwards!

"Ten points... eleven... twelve... No, why is this kid still rising?"

The surprise in Lin Yunqing's eyes gradually turned to shock, until the curve reached its peak, leveled off, and remained stable for a long time without any signs of weakening.

"Fifteen points! Impossible, does he drink Energy Liquid like water every day? That's also impossible, how could a mortal body digest and absorb it!"

A vitality of fifteen points was not enough to make the exceptionally well-off Lin Yunqing lose her composure.

The key was that Qin Shi's vitality was only eight points two weeks ago!

"Even with breakthroughs in physical limits, such an exaggerated increase is enough to show how profound Assistant Teacher Qin's potential is. Almost doubled!"

Lin Yunqing's gaze gradually became fervent, and then she thought of a terrifying possibility.

If Qin Shi wasn't a root seedling from the Old Martial Arts Faction with a foundation built from childhood, and he hadn't been following this path for long.

"Sister, I've struck gold this time!"

Beep beep.

The phone vibrated again.

[Lightning Whirlwind Cleave: What a fresh and juicy dish! You didn't betray my trust! Bring them to meet me someday, I'll use them for my performance metrics!]

[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: He's dead, died in a car accident just now.]

[Lightning Whirlwind Cleave: ??]

[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: They couldn't save him, already sent to the crematorium.]

[Lightning Whirlwind Cleave: ???]

[Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: So sad, can you send me fifty more? I want to eat a family bucket to ease my mood.]

[Lightning Whirlwind Cleave: You wait to die!]

[This message has been sent, but was rejected by the recipient]

Lin Yunqing said gleefully:

"So easy to fool! With your IQ, how could you possibly outsmart me!"

She rubbed her hands together, preparing to take out almost half of her fortune to fully support Assistant Teacher Qin.

It would just mean buying a few less Energy Liquid packages, eating fewer high-energy foods, and visiting the commercial centers of Imperial Capital and Haizhou a few less times.

Even if she lost money, she could bear it with gritted teeth.

But if it paid off, it would be a massive profit!

Nowadays, the investment with the highest rate of return was discovering reserve Martial Artists!

As long as they could pass the grading to become professional, obtain a title, pass the review for the Education Department's student aid program, and get certified!

It would be a complete win!

"Teacher Lin, I want to test my mental power again."

Qin Shi's voice came from inside the instrument cabin.

"Okay."

Lin Yunqing's lips curled into a smile, unable to suppress her joy.

At this point, even if Assistant Teacher Qin confessed his love, she wouldn't refuse.

At worst, she'd sacrifice her looks and tearfully endure the pain of being ravaged by a six-foot-tall high school boy!

"What a perverted smile, that bitch."

Qin Shi, inside the instrument cabin, saw Lin Yunqing's grinning, foolish face through the transparent lid.

In this world, how could there be such a long-legged beauty, so full of sexual tension that she couldn't evoke any lustful thoughts!
