Luo Feng Enters the Detention Center

"Jade Marrow, oral administration..."

After all, there was only one drop of Jade Marrow, so it naturally couldn't be applied to the body like Dragon Blood.

"The medicinal properties of Jade Marrow are mild. During use, it won't be as painful as Dragon Blood. It significantly improves physical fitness and slightly enhances cell activity. You can go straight to the Gravity Chamber to cultivate after using it to accelerate absorption efficiency."

Xu Ai couldn't count on cell activity anymore; after all, having used so much diluted Vegetation Spirit, her cell activity had long since reached the limit for a student.

To break through this limit, she would either need a breakthrough in her overall realm or an increase in her genetic level.

Both of these methods were still a long way off for her...

Xu Ai arrived at the Gravity Chamber, and Hen Ren happened to be walking out of it, heading toward the bathroom.

Although she hadn't sweated since reaching the Planetary Level, Hen Ren was still in the habit of taking a shower after exercising.

This was a habit inherited from Xu Ai, as only Xu Ai would sweat after a workout...

At this time, Xu Xin had already completed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment, and upon returning, she had been sent off to practice 'Five Hearts Towards Heaven'.

With her cell activity, sensing cosmic energy wasn't difficult; as long as she was focused enough and tried a few more times, she would succeed.

As for Xu Ai, she naturally followed her plan, intending to use the Jade Marrow to break through.

The Jade Marrow looked like a crystal-clear jade bead. After opening the transparent container, Xu Ai poured it directly into her mouth.

It melted upon contact. Accompanied by a cooling sensation spreading through her body, Xu Ai hurriedly turned on 9x gravity, then immediately sat cross-legged, silently circulating the 'Five Qi Towards Origin' cultivation method and the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown' guidance technique.

The cooling sensation of the Jade Marrow flowed through Xu Ai's body. Combined with the 9x gravity and the circulation of her cultivation techniques, Xu Ai's physical fitness grew rapidly, though her cell activity remained unchanged.

By the time Xu Ai finished her cultivation, seven hours had already passed.

"Over 8,000 kilograms, probably around 8,500 kilograms, mid-level Warlord."

Xu Ai clenched her fist, estimating her current physical fitness.

"Another month of training to reach high-level Warlord, pass the actual combat assessment on August 1st, and then use the Dragon Blood to break through to low-level War God."

Thinking of this, Xu Ai remembered the considerable amount of Vegetation Spirit Hen Ren had.

Vegetation Spirits that could increase a user's physical fitness, like the Millennium Willow Heart, mostly had medicinal effects even stronger than Dragon Blood.

In the original story, the reason Luo Feng was able to use the Millennium Willow Heart not long after using Dragon Blood was likely because his potential as a Spirit Reader helped him digest the medicinal effects of both; otherwise, who knew what would happen from over-supplementing.

"I'd better play it safe. I'll train for a month, then take another dose of 'experience medicine'..."

As the saying goes, with Hen Ren there to take the lead, she should take things steady!

Xu Ai stood up, turned off the 9x gravity, and opened the door to the Gravity Chamber.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Ai saw her sister walking down the hallway.

Noticing the movement of the Gravity Chamber door, Xu Xin looked over, and the two made eye contact.

"Sis, did you succeed in your cultivation?"

The moment she saw Xu Xin, she sensed the changes in her. Her figure was basically the same, but she had grown about a centimeter taller!

This was clearly a successful cultivation and genetic optimization!

"Mm-hmm, that's right! I succeeded in practicing 'Five Hearts Towards Heaven'! My punching power increased by over 2,000 kilograms!"

Xu Xin said with a smile. She had practiced for nearly seven hours in one go, leaping straight into the mid-level Warrior rank!

An increase of over 2,000 kilograms in punching power was already in the genius category for a first-time practitioner; it was quite normal for there to be some changes.

"Congratulations, Sis! Uh..."

Xu Ai opened her arms to give Xu Xin a big hug, but as soon as she did, she realized Xu Xin was soaking wet...

Although the sweat didn't smell, Xu Ai still couldn't accept it!

Why couldn't she accept it? It was the same logic as a fairy goddess going to the bathroom...

"Sis, let's go take a shower."

Saying this, Xu Ai hurriedly pushed Xu Xin toward the bathroom.

Xu Xin ran along, pushed by Xu Ai with a bitter smile.

"I was already planning to go, don't be so impatient..."

"Hello? Xiao Ai, is there something you need from me?"

Xu Gang asked suspiciously. Usually, it was he who called his younger sisters, but Xu Ai and Xu Xin had never called him before.

There must be something they needed help with!

In fact, Xu Ai did have something she needed Xu Gang to handle!

"Brother, you should have some connections in the Yi'an District Detention Center, right?"

"Uh, does a friend of yours have some trouble? Is it a man or a woman!?"

This question was very important, especially the gender part!

"A man. Uh, that's not important; what's important is..."

Xu Ai said slyly.

"Check if the other party has a criminal record. If they do, send me a copy of the photo!"

So this was Xu Ai's true objective!!!

Ever since the group photo of Luo Feng, the Wenwu Two Ancestors, and Luo Hua was taken after the start of the college entrance exams, Xu Ai had developed a peculiar hobby!

She loved taking photos to commemorate the interesting experiences of the protagonist, Luo Feng!

Luo Feng entering a detention center—this was one of the few major events in the original story where Luo Feng suffered a setback, and Xu Ai certainly wouldn't overlook it.

"...Uh, what are you doing this for?"

Xu Gang was a bit confused. Shouldn't the goal be to save the person? Why was she asking for a copy of the criminal record photo instead?

Could it be to kick someone while they were down? That didn't seem right. If she wanted to kick him while he was down, shouldn't she be asking him to arrange for the inmates in the detention center to "take care" of the guy?

"Don't worry about it. His name is Luo Feng. Help me check, and if he has one, remember to copy the mugshot for me!"

Xu Ai laughed.

Logically, fighting and brawling usually wouldn't result in a criminal record, but Luo Feng had beaten people until they were vomiting blood and suffering fractures.

Perhaps because of the human physique in Swallowed Star, it might not count as a serious injury, but since he had injured so many people, a criminal record shouldn't be a problem.

Besides, this was the year 2056 in Swallowed Star. Because there were so many martial artists, the law would likely deal strictly with fighting and brawling involving high-level students like Luo Feng.

Regardless, if Luo Feng really did get a criminal record, please leave her a photo!

"Fine, fine."

As long as his sister wasn't involved in puppy love, Xu Gang didn't care what they were up to.

Although he didn't know why Xu Ai wanted a mugshot, forget it; he would just get the job done!

But this Luo Feng, he was the guy who took the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment with his sister today, right!?

This guy was indeed suspicious, actually managing to catch his sister's attention! Especially since he was a male!? He had to check him out thoroughly!!!

Because he was too concerned about his sister, Xu Gang didn't even stop to think about how a Quasi-Martial Artist like Luo Feng could have been thrown into a detention center...

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ai came out of the bathroom.

After all, it was better to keep the fact that Luo Feng was about to enter a detention center hidden from Xu Xin.

Hen Ren was still cultivating. Ever since she reached the Planetary Level, the number of times she had slept could be counted on one hand.

But Xu Ai couldn't do that; her body wouldn't be able to handle it.

And so, Xu Ai planned to go to sleep.

Xu Ai climbed into bed and wrapped her arms around Xu Xin, who was lying on the bed playing on her phone.

Just thinking about it—Luo Feng suffering in a detention center while she was cuddling his wife to sleep—this feeling... hiss!!!

I have finally lived to become the person... I most wanted to be!!!

"What are you doing?"

Xu Xin glanced at Xu Ai in confusion. Why did this girl seem inexplicably excited?

"Nothing, Sis, let's take a selfie!"

Xu Ai adjusted the camera settings on her phone so the photo would include a timestamp...

Before Xu Xin could react, Xu Ai wrapped her arm around Xu Xin's shoulder.

Cheek to cheek, with the headboard as the background, the thin strap of Xu Xin's nightgown slipped off her right shoulder. With a "click," the photo was captured!

On the other side, Luo Feng had just changed into a standard gray prison uniform and was standing next to a wall marked with height measurements, where he also had a photo taken...

Although Luo Feng was very unhappy about this, his reason told him that once his Quasi-Martial Artist status was verified, this criminal record would be cleared.

Little did he know, after Luo Feng was taken into the detention cell, the male police officer who took the photo copied it and sent it out...
