Bright Moon Residential District.
September 15, more than ten days later.
Fang Yi slowly awoke from the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method.
At that moment, he felt the cells throughout his body gradually becoming saturated after their earlier bottomless consumption.
The next moment.
The metal objects beside the bed slowly floated into the air, suspended as if controlled by a pair of invisible hands.
"The dark gold cube in my sea of consciousness can not only nourish the Illusion Technique of my Double Pupil Eyes; now it can also move objects."
Fang Yi had learned that Psychic Masters belonged to many different schools, including telekinetic control, Illusion Techniques, and even beast taming.
After the Double Pupil Eyes absorbed the dark gold cube in his sea of consciousness, their Illusion Technique and mental attacks would improve to a degree.
It seemed to affect the other applications of his Spiritual Force, too.
Fang Yi's Spiritual Force was divided into two types: one was absorbed by the Double Pupil Eyes to strengthen their abilities, while the other was the ability of the Spiritual Force in his sea of consciousness itself.
The ability to move objects was the latter.
"It seems I only mastered telekinetic control now because of the influence of the Double Pupil Eyes, but that's fine. Besides mental attacks and Illusion Techniques, I've gained two more abilities... Not bad. As they say, knowing more skills never hurts; you can never have too many cards up your sleeve."
The new abilities Fang Yi mentioned were telekinetic control and the new ability of his Double Pupil Eyes.
"If I get the chance later, I'll try out the new ability of my Double Pupil Eyes."
Then.
The objects floating around him returned to their original places.
But telekinetic control wasn't the final result of this cultivation session. Fang Yi's lips curled into a slight smile as he slowly stood up, and an Interface appeared before him.
[Double Pupil Eyes] Growth Progress──5.1% [Punch Strength──43999kg] [Speed──197m/s] [Neural Response──Advanced War General (Super)] ["?" Unlock Progress─70%]
Once the awakening progress rose from 4.9 to 5%, Fang Yi could clearly feel that his physical condition had far surpassed what it had been before.
"It's increased by more than double... Just as I suspected, this breakthrough took me straight to the threshold of the Advanced War General Level. The question mark's progress has also reached 70%. It looks like I'll soon find out what it is."
Fang Yi regulated his breathing, then got up and headed to the open-air platform outside the villa.
Special bulletproof glass surrounded the platform, and a custom-made Punch Strength Test Machine stood at its center.
Wu Tong had arranged for someone to deliver it discreetly, so Fang Yi could test his own level.
He had also given Fang Yi special instructions.
The moment anything changed, Fang Yi was to tell him right away.
Looking at the target, Fang Yi threw a punch with all his strength. "43989kg!"
"Mm, about what the Interface showed."
Fang Yi went to wash up, and after breakfast, headed to Limit Home.
The mall.
"I should prepare for this now. I can't go without using telekinetic control, but I can't use it proficiently yet, since it's affected by my Double Pupil Eyes... I'll buy a shield to use as a tool."
Fang Yi placed an order for a B7 Series Shield.
This series of shields could already withstand attacks from a Primary Lord-Level Monster. Fang Yi intended to use one as a flying tool.
There was still a gap between Martial Artists who could fly and those who couldn't.
Flight.
It was an important ability. As Fang Yi ventured deeper into the heart of the county-level city to hunt monsters, he needed this powerful skill more and more.
Once his telekinetic control became more proficient and powerful, he would consider other telekinetic equipment.
After all, most of his Spiritual Force was still being absorbed by and affecting his Double Pupil Eyes, helping them awaken.
So for now, its amplification wasn't very high.
The following day.
Fang Yi collected the package containing the shield, gathered all his belongings, and set off for the wilderness once more.
Before leaving, he made a point of sending Wu Tong a message.
Limit Dojo.
Wu Tong was handling official business when he suddenly received a message from Fang Yi.
As Fang Yi was someone he was keeping a close eye on, Wu Tong immediately stopped what he was doing and checked the message first.
"Holy crap!"
When he read it, Wu Tong's hand trembled, his face full of disbelief. But soon, he accepted the truth.
If someone else had sent him this message, he would probably have thought they were still messing around.
But if it was Fang Yi, then it was almost certainly true.
"Fang Yi... What a freak. Hahaha!" Wu Tong excitedly slapped the desk. Thinking of how hard he had worked to recruit Fang Yi into the Dojo, he felt even prouder of that decision.
Then he immediately contacted Zhuge Tao and the others.
"Hey, Wu Tong, what's up?" Zhuge Tao answered the call while holding a cup of coffee and looking over some documents. He had barely asked when an excited shout came from the other end.
"I've got a surprise for you!" Zhuge Tao chuckled softly. "Let's hear it."
"Get in touch with President Zhou right away."
The train arrived at the station.
Fang Yi wore Black Satin over his eyes, with a shield hanging from the back of his backpack. He was heading to the Southeast Military Region.
The Southeast Military Region was much larger than the North Military Region, and its Supply Base was also far bigger.
The city Fang Yi planned to visit this time was Number 003, also known as the Demon Cave.
As soon as he entered the Supply Base.
He saw powerful fighters everywhere, including several War Gods.
"No wonder they call it the Demon Cave. Both the number and quality of the Martial Artists here far surpass those in the North Military Region. This trip should bring me plenty of gains in both martial arts training and materials."
The rest area.
As usual, Fang Yi ordered a glass of juice. While resting, he also observed the other Martial Artists around him.
The nearby teams were mostly made up of War Generals at a minimum, and some even had quite a few Advanced War Generals.
"These are the kind of teams you'd expect. Anyone whose strength is far below the War General Level who dares come here is practically asking to die," Fang Yi thought.
By now.
Fang Yi had reached the Advanced War General Level. The monsters in the towns he'd visited before were no longer worth his attention.
The Demon Cave was a major city close to the ocean, with many marine monsters and quite a few flying monsters. It was also one of the monsters' main strongholds, so the overall strength there was formidable.
It was a good place to train and hone himself while making some money on the side.
"Let's see how strong I am now."
Almost every time he broke through, Fang Yi sought out a few fights to gauge his true strength.
So far, none of the fights had forced him to reveal all his trump cards, and his body had never sustained serious damage. He hadn't reached the point where his Battle Armor was damaged, he was exhausted, and he was in danger.
After resting for a while, he gathered his things and left the Supply Base.
Whoosh!
Above the outskirts of the city.
Fang Yi raced through the air on his shield, moving swiftly. He had already removed the Black Satin wrapped around his eyes.
He scanned the surrounding area with the Power of Analysis.
After flying for a long time, Fang Yi's proficiency with telekinetic control had improved further. It took some effort, but the strain wasn't too serious.
When he reached the outer district.
Fang Yi jumped off the shield, then hung it on his backpack and analyzed the surroundings.
"First, I'll check the area and make sure it's safe. Then I'll rest and recover some energy before I start exploring."
He entered a building.
Fang Yi reached the rooftop walkway and immediately began surveying the area several kilometers around him with the Power of Analysis.
