After this period of silence, Wang Lin had more or less managed to move on.

It was just that seeing Good Brother so suddenly today had made it hard for him to control his emotions, and he had burst into tears.

Still, there was nothing wrong with crying a little in front of the brother he trusted most.

Once Wang Lin had completely recovered emotionally, the two began practicing their fists toward the rising sun again.

"Brother Yu, I've noticed that after surviving the Double R Virus, my Physical Fitness really has become much stronger. I've also gained a lot of insights while practicing my fists today." Wang Lin spoke as he rested on a park bench.

"This is a good thing. Seize this opportunity to train more and improve your strength as much as possible." Yang Yu sat beside him. "I've seen many news reports and online stories about Mutated Animals attacking humans. Nothing like that has happened around us yet, but to be safe, it's best to strengthen ourselves as much as possible."

"Oh, right. Xiao Linzi, when you get home, suggest to your father that he make more time to exercise too. It would be even better if he could practice Martial Way."

"Alright, Brother Yu. I'll tell my dad when I get home. I've watched plenty of videos of animals attacking humans abroad too. This world really doesn't seem very safe anymore." Wang Lin was no fool. Since humans could grow stronger through the Double R Virus, animals naturally could as well.

When facing such real and immediate dangers, the stronger one's own strength was, the better.

After nearly half a year of martial arts training, Wang Lin had deeply come to understand that one's own force was always the most trustworthy thing.

Having pulled himself together, he also planned to devote more energy to martial arts training every day.

After this incident, Wang Lin's father had also relaxed his discipline over him somewhat.

After all, before life and death, there were few things more important.

There was still a week before school started, and Wang Lin planned to use that time to further study Xingyiquan with Yang Yu.

The morning passed in such ordinary practice.

It was worth mentioning that—

More people had begun coming to the park to exercise now.

After finishing their morning fist practice, Yang Yu took Wang Lin to Dong's Dojo.

After all, the dojo's training conditions were far better than those of a gym.

After finishing the day's routine training and teaching Wang Lin how to use the various training machines, along with the necessary precautions—

Yang Yu returned home.

Yang Yu's cultivation focus remained Genetic Origin Energy, Blade Technique, and Fist Technique.

With the Guide Technique's assistance, although his efficiency in absorbing and refining Cosmic Energy was nowhere near what it had been the first time, as his Physical Fitness steadily improved, the increase in his daily physical strength also continued to rise.

His Fist Technique and Blade Technique improved by the day as well.

The feeling of growing stronger at every moment was truly wonderful.

The only problem was his lack of actual combat opponents. Yang Yu could only reinforce the foundations of his Blade Technique and Fist Technique again and again, constantly comprehending the basic Xingyi Five Elements Fist, Twelve Form Fist, and San Ti Shi.

Whenever he gained a new insight, he integrated it into his Blade Technique.

In this way, improved Martial Way Insight drove his Fist Technique forward, while the improvement in his Fist Technique in turn advanced his Blade Technique and Movement Technique.

The improvement of his Fist Technique and Blade Technique then fed back into his Martial Way Insight.

Yang Yu's strength entered a fast lane of growth.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

With his punching force increasing by nearly 200 kilograms a day during the latter period, Yang Yu's Physical Fitness made tremendous progress once again.

Since he had no suitable testing machine, Yang Yu could only roughly estimate that his total punching force had reached 12,000 kilograms. He was no longer far from the 16,000-kilogram qualification line for an Intermediate War General.

One day before dawn—

Yang Yu had just finished his routine Genetic Origin Energy cultivation—

When he suddenly felt powerful, mysterious forces erupting violently from within his mind. The moment they appeared, these mysterious forces instantly merged into every part of his body.

Under the cleansing of this mysterious power, Yang Yu's muscles, bones, internal organs, blood, skin, and everything else underwent drastic changes.

At the same time, the cells deep within his body were undergoing an Extreme Speed transformation, one that even surpassed his first cultivation of Genetic Origin Energy!

Feeling the intense changes in his body and the powerful Mental Force pouring out from his mind, Yang Yu was delighted rather than alarmed.

"I've been an official Martial Artist for three months. My Mental Force has finally awakened!"

Since Yang Yu's Physical Fitness was already extremely strong, these drastic bodily changes did not cause him much shock.

Yang Yu even had spare capacity to control the Mental Force as it washed through every part of his body. At the same time, he circulated the Guide Technique, allowing the Mental Force to nourish every cell and accelerate their division and regeneration.

As high-frequency tremors ran through his body, Yang Yu's Physical Fitness was rising at a terrifying speed.

A long while later—

Once the Spiritual Force erupting from his mind finally subsided—

Yang Yu's bodily transformation came to an end as well.

Opening his eyes, Yang Yu clenched his fist. "My punching force has increased by at least half from its original level!"

His previous punching force had been 12,000 kilograms. Now, after being nourished and strengthened by Spiritual Force, it had reached at least 18,000 kilograms!

This was already the level of an Intermediate War General.

And it had increased by so much in such a short time.

But this was only the beginning.

Looking at the furniture in his bedroom, Yang Yu moved his mind, and the Mental Force within his mind instantly attached itself to it.

The chairs, stools, desk, bed, and other furniture immediately floated into the air. When his thoughts relaxed, the furniture returned to its original places.

After carefully experiencing it for a while—

Yang Yu felt that the intangible Mental Force was as nimble as an extended "hand" of his own.

"So I really am a Spirit Reader!"

Feeling the Spiritual Force that was far stronger than his physical strength, Yang Yu performed several sets of San Ti Shi before finally calming his surging emotions.

He then sat cross-legged once more, gathering his consciousness and focusing it within his mind.

Boom!

His entire soul trembled.

Then Yang Yu delightedly discovered that his consciousness had arrived in a wondrous place.

This mysterious place was boundless, with endless mist swirling throughout it.

At the center of the mist, a solid sphere slowly rotated.

Focusing his gaze—

Yang Yu discovered that the sphere was purple.

Strands of Purple Electric Glow occasionally flashed across its surface.

"Could it be that my bodily attribute is the Lightning Attribute?"

Exiting his Consciousness Sea, Yang Yu opened his eyes and pondered.

In the Original Work, Luo Feng's Mental Force Sphere was Dark Gold, which matched both his Gold Attribute constitution and his extraordinary affinity for the Gold Origin Law.

Now, Yang Yu's Mental Force Sphere was purple.

Did this also mean that Yang Yu's constitution was of the Lightning Attribute, and that the Origin Law he was compatible with was the Lightning Law?

"Very likely!"

In his previous life, Yang Yu had read the Original Work more than ten times. Back then, he had wondered whether every Spirit Reader possessed Dark Gold Mental Force in their minds, or whether each Spirit Reader's Mental Force was divided according to his bodily attribute.

Now it seemed that Luo Feng had a Dark Gold sphere and would later develop an affinity with the Gold Origin Law.

His own sphere was a Purple Sphere, and its surface even flashed with traces of Electric Glow. All of this was closely tied to lightning, so the Origin Law he would most likely develop an affinity with in the future was the Lightning Origin Law.
