Threshold of Laws, Xu Xin Practices Martial Arts

"Is this... the Law of Water Origin?"

Hen Ren opened her eyes. Just moments ago, while cultivating, she had faintly sensed a fluctuation originating from the vast universe's origin.

Although this fluctuation was separated by layer upon layer of veils, Hen Ren had still managed to grasp that vague sensation.

To explain this feeling in the terms of Swallowed Star, it meant that Hen Ren had stepped across the threshold of the Law of Water Origin!

"Grasping the Law of Water Origin through a level six Water Domain—not bad."

After all, Hen Ren had never studied any secret techniques of the Law of Water, and she was not inherently favored by the Law of Water Origin. She had relied entirely on her own comprehension to push through; being able to inexplicably perceive it with a level six domain was already immense luck.

"Perhaps I should try to create my own secret technique for the Law of Water."

Having crossed the threshold of the Law of Water Origin, Hen Ren would naturally be able to unleash much greater power when using secret techniques of the Law of Water.

Learning or creating a secret technique of the Law of Water would be the most beneficial path for Hen Ren.

She could also use such a technique to continue exploring and delving deeper into the Law of Water Origin.

"If I could enter the universe, perhaps I could obtain secret techniques of the Law of Water through other channels..."

She let her mind wander, but Hen Ren quickly abandoned the thought.

As someone only at the Planetary Level, even if she could enter the universe, there was nothing she could do.

If she were careless, she might even be snatched up by slave traders, which would be a true disaster.

Slave traders could even sell Universe Level slaves; it was clear their muscle were at least Universe Level, and above them were Domain Lords and World Lords!

Hen Ren did not believe she could currently trade blows with a Universe Level powerhouse. She would need to reach at least the ninth stage of the Planetary Level, master the threshold of the Law of Space, and obtain secret techniques at the Immortal level!

And even then, she could likely only contend with those at the first or second stage of the Universe Level...

"I'll just wait for Luo Feng to become Hu Yanbo's disciple and see if he has any secret techniques for the Law of Water. Before then, I'll ponder one out myself."

Even if Luo Feng only had secret techniques for other laws, it would suffice; she could use them as a reference to create her own.

As for whether Luo Feng would give them to her, it would be nothing more than a formality of hanging her name under Hu Yanbo. She didn't think Babata would be foolish enough to refuse someone who had crossed the threshold of a law while still at the Planetary Level.

Furthermore, she was Luo Feng's master, so Luo Feng would still have to show her some respect.

Hen Ren was Xu Xin's master, and since Xu Xin and Luo Feng were husband and wife, Hen Ren was effectively Luo Feng's master as well.

At the very least, when Luo Feng addressed Hen Ren, he would certainly follow Xu Xin's lead.

What would Xu Xin call Hen Ren... Master Sister?

On the other side...

For the sake of the upcoming Quasi-Martial Artist assessment, Xu Ai was teaching Xu Xin combat techniques.

Sword techniques, movement techniques, and force amplitude—these were the three elements that could amplify a warrior's strength below the Planetary Level.

As for secret techniques, don't even think about it.

Only Spirit Readers had secret techniques at the Apprentice Level; she had truly never seen a secret technique suitable for a Genetic Warrior at the Apprentice Level.

Perhaps they existed, but they were impossible to find on Earth. After all, Hu Yanbo was a pure Spirit Reader. As an Immortal, he didn't have many cultivation methods for warriors, and combined with the lack of weapons for warriors, it led to both Hong and Lei suffering defeats in the Genius Tournament.

Xu Ai was currently teaching Xu Xin hand-in-hand.

With a 'whoosh', a fist landed on the punch strength tester.

'BANG!!!'

The target swayed heavily, and the screen popped up—'8000kg'!

"My current physical fitness is at the mid-level War General, with a punch strength of about 4000kg. After a 2x force amplitude, it directly reaches the high-level War General."

Xu Ai demonstrated for Xu Xin, then began to explain the steps and segments of force amplitude.

With the original story providing the direction and Hen Ren organizing it, this set of force amplitude techniques from Xu Ai was absolutely authentic and the most top-tier method on Earth.

The new progress in force amplitude had reached 2.5 times. Xu Ai did not hold back; she first explained the principles, then revealed the techniques for generating force.

She then let Xu Xin begin to try it according to the method she had taught.

"If you utilize force amplitude well, you can truly challenge those at higher levels in normal circumstances."

Why call it normal circumstances?

Because a mid-level War General using a 2x force amplitude—it sounded as if high-level War Generals didn't have force amplitude themselves...

However, monsters truly did not possess force amplitude. Once human warriors had force amplitude, they could indeed challenge those at higher levels.

"Explain it one more time, I need to think about it."

After trying for a good while without finding the feel for it, Xu Xin looked at Xu Ai again.

Xu Ai nodded.

"Alright, I'll say it again. I'll keep hitting the target with 2x amplitude, and you can keep observing me."

Is a 2x force amplitude difficult? For a beginner, it is difficult—extremely difficult!

Everything is hard at the beginning, just like the Genetic Energy Cultivation Method. Once you succeed in cultivation, you can enter the state at will, but there are no shortage of Quasi-Martial Artists who get stuck for most of their time just trying to cultivate it for the first time...

Xu Ai never expected to teach Xu Xin in one go. One must know that even Luo Feng had been stuck at 1.4 times for quite a while.

Xu Xin's talent naturally did not compare to Luo Feng's; although she possessed the complete knowledge of Xu Ai, she still had to learn slowly.

Each punch she threw produced a sonic boom, as Xu Ai utilized her 2x force amplification to the fullest.

With the guidance of the original story, Xu Ai naturally knew that the average value of the force amplification across the five parts—head, fist, elbow, knee, and leg—was the true force amplification!

When Xu Ai practiced her punches in front of Xu Xin, she would naturally demonstrate the force amplification of other body parts from time to time.

Perhaps Xu Xin was more adept at using other parts, and she might learn them after seeing Xu Ai's technique; regardless, she had to master the basics first, so who cared which part it was!?

After some time had passed, Xu Xin still hadn't mastered it, so Xu Ai decided to set it aside for now and teach her the content regarding movement techniques instead.

Movement techniques were extremely important; after all, at the same level, the physical fitness of humans on Earth could not compare to that of monsters, especially in terms of defense. If one were hit by a single slap, they would be injured, and the probability of sustaining a serious injury was very high.

In response to this, the countermeasure for humans on Earth was movement techniques.

On Earth, movement techniques were divided into four levels: Basic, Micro Level, Perfect, and Artistic Conception.

Basic was the simplest; basically, any student who could pass the Quasi-Martial Artist nerve reaction test was considered to have met the standard for basic movement techniques!

And Xu Ai's requirement for Xu Xin was to go a step further: Micro Level movement techniques!

After explaining the principles of Micro Level movement techniques simply, it was time for... actual combat!

Weren't movement techniques meant for dodging? Only by being attacked could one quickly feel and learn them!

"Can you stop hitting my chest!"

Xu Xin glared at Xu Ai angrily. The actual combat had only just begun, and she had already been struck on her chest and butt by Xu Ai many times!

They weren't wearing combat uniforms and were using tree branches. Although Xu Ai controlled her strength, the 'thwack' of the impact still stung a bit!

"Ahem, I'm doing this to motivate you to work harder! Only when you get hit will you think about dodging."

Xu Ai made up a random excuse and then signaled for Xu Xin to continue with her eyes.

Having sparred with little Ting Ting for so long, I finally know what it feels like to have an attack target!

Far away in Mingyue Residential Quarter, Liu Ting couldn't help but sneeze, looking completely bewildered.

She was already a high-level student; her physical fitness was such that she hadn't been sick in a long time, so why would she suddenly sneeze?

Xu Ai smiled, caught Xu Xin's branch, and 'thwacked' Xu Xin's butt once again.

"Stop! I'm not fighting anymore!"

Xu Xin hurriedly called for a halt. If this continued, her butt would definitely end up swollen!

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Xu Ai stopped and took a bottle of medicinal wine from a drawer in the corner of the Martial Arts Hall.

"Sister, let me rub some medicinal wine on you! It will heal faster!"

This was Xu Ai's true objective!

Xu Xin glared at Xu Ai; her current state was all thanks to her, after all.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Taking the medicinal wine from Xu Ai's hand, Xu Xin left the Martial Arts Hall.

Xu Ai watched Xu Xin leave and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Sigh, what a pity."
