Planetary Level

"Haha... we met once at the HR Alliance, so we can consider ourselves acquainted. I honestly didn't expect you to be my cousin back then. Don't worry, since I've already given your brother a gift, I certainly wouldn't leave you out. I remember that rich second-generation brat at the HR Alliance looking down on you, right? Once you use the gift your cousin gave you according to the instructions later, it'll be their family's turn to try and climb the social ladder to reach you." Tang Ping laughed, patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, and handed him a small box.

"What is this?" Luo Feng asked curiously, though he didn't open the box immediately.

"Good stuff. You'll know once you use it." Tang Ping offered a mysterious smile, showing no intention of explaining further.

That evening, Tang Ping and his large group stayed at Luo Feng's house. The villa had plenty of empty rooms, unlike the old tenement building his family had lived in earlier, where it would have been impossible.

In their short time together, the group of young people had begun to form a friendship rooted in their newfound kinship.

Late at night, Luo Feng finally escaped the "ten thousand whys" of Tang Yongqing and Tang Yongyuan and retreated to the training room. Heaven knows, the twins were incredibly curious about martial artists, but Tang Ping's overwhelming strength made them too intimidated to get close to him, so they had spent the whole time pestering the more approachable Luo Feng with endless questions.

"Millennium Willow Heart: Usage instructions. Pierce the outer crystal shell and orally consume the liquid essence inside. Remember, do not swallow the crystal shell..."

In the training room, Luo Feng opened the box Tang Ping had given him earlier that day and picked up the instruction sheet.

At this point in time, Luo Feng was already significantly stronger than he was at the same stage in the original timeline. Although Tang Ping had only given him the lowest reward distribution ratio, it was still roughly equivalent to doubling his cultivation efficiency.

He was a peak Primary War General-level martial artist, a peak Advanced War General-level Spirit Reader, and had mastered the third layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, nearing the fourth.

"Ah, so comfortable. I can feel my physical fitness growing rapidly."

After swallowing the essence of the Millennium Willow Heart, Luo Feng felt a cool, soothing sensation wash over his entire body, making even his soul tremble.

His physical fitness skyrocketed: from peak Primary War General-level... to Intermediate War General-level... to Advanced War General-level... to Primary War God-level...

It climbed step by step, all the way to the peak of Advanced War God-level.

His Spirit Reading Power, naturally following the limits of his physical capacity, surged wildly as well, even reaching the peak of Advanced War God-level a step ahead of his body.

A simple Millennium Willow Heart could never produce such a powerful effect, but Tang Ping's Heaven Rewards Diligence System could trigger critical hits on these rewards. After confirming Luo Feng was his cousin, Tang Ping had adjusted his distribution ratio to a fifty-fifty split. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find better "tools" in the entire universe, Tang Ping wouldn't have even minded setting it to the maximum value, just like he had for his other brothers.

"Only half an hour, and I've become this strong?" Looking at the time on his watch and feeling the surging power within his body, Luo Feng threw a casual punch, still feeling as if it were all a dream.

At the same time, in another room of the villa, Tang Ping, who hadn't gone to sleep yet, suddenly felt a powerful, clear stream flow through his mind, as if his mental will had suddenly received a massive boost.

After a brief moment of confusion, Tang Ping realized what had happened: Luo Feng was using the Millennium Willow Heart. He knew that when a martial artist's physical fitness improved, their mental will usually saw a corresponding increase, and this improvement was clearly covered under the system's reward critical hit category.

He couldn't improve his own physical fitness for the time being, but his mental will was not restricted. This was exactly why he hadn't temporarily set Luo Feng's distribution ratio to the maximum.

"Haha... I feel like... I could easily break through to the Planetary Level now."

As expected of the Child of the Plane, his luck was truly high. Luo Feng must have triggered the maximum 100x critical hit this time. Although much of the physical fitness boost was wasted, the increase in mental will was not lost at all. Even with only a fifty percent share, it made Tang Ping feel he could easily break through to the Planetary Level.

He acted on the thought, using his mental will to stir the Martial Artist Origin within his Dantian.

It felt like the creation of the world; his Dantian, which hadn't existed before, suddenly burst open. The swirling Genetic Origin Energy expanded and contracted incessantly, causing his consciousness to tremble.

Success!

In the vast Dantian, a miniature planet appeared. Strangely, this miniature planet was chaotic in nature, occasionally manifesting various colors like yellow, green, gold, and purple.

The Chaos Star rotated continuously, emitting strange fluctuations.

"Chaos Body!" After a brief moment of sensing, Tang Ping understood the special ability he had gained from breaking through to the Planetary Level.

After a moment of reflection, Tang Ping guessed why he had such a unique ability.

When normal people break through to the Planetary Level, they usually gain a single-attribute special ability, broadly categorized into eight types: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

Because of differences in physique and soul, the cosmic energy absorbed by each person is different, and the resulting Genetic Origin Energy is, of course, different as well.

Genetic Origin Energy is divided into those eight attributes, and a martial artist's special ability is bestowed by that energy.

Tang Ping's Genetic Origin Energy, however, came from the rewards given by the system based on his "tools'" diligent cultivation. Since those tools couldn't possibly all have the same attribute, his internal Genetic Origin Energy actually contained all eight.

If an ordinary person tried this, they would have been reduced to dust long ago, but Tang Ping was different. This energy was a system reward—would the system let its host die just like that? Under the system's harmonization, the eight attributes of Genetic Origin Energy fused perfectly, becoming the Chaos attribute.

Of course, because Tang Ping currently knew nothing about laws, let alone the Chaos Law, the only benefit of this Chaos-attribute Genetic Origin Energy for now was the ability to freely convert into any of the eight attributes.

As for the Chaos Body special ability he had just acquired, it allowed his body to have an affinity for all attribute laws and would play a role in future law fusion. Of course, that was a matter for later, and the "lazy" Tang Ping didn't necessarily have the motivation to cultivate on his own, even if his talent had become incredibly high.

"Let's keep the momentum going and break through with my Spirit Reading Power as well." With the martial artist breakthrough complete, Tang Ping didn't rush to savor the feeling, preparing instead to push his Spirit Reader side to the Planetary Level as well.

A martial artist's origin is in the Dantian, while a Spirit Reader's origin is in the Sea of Consciousness.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the brilliant galaxy of mental power formed a vortex, spinning frantically. The vortex expanded suddenly, forming a scene like a transparent water curtain.

Expansion, contraction, expansion again, contraction again!
