"Yunhe, the First Set of... Calisthenics you created has already spread across the entire world."

Inside the villa, Jia Yi, having gathered quite a bit of information, hurriedly sought out Lu Yunhe.

Lu Yunhe did not care about this at all. When he created this calisthenics martial art, he had never intended to keep it secret. With his perspective, he would not stoop to that extent.

"If they want to learn it, let them learn it. I, the creator, am not worried, so what are you all worried about?"

Lu Yunhe waved his hand, signaling Jia Yi to calm down and not pay attention to outside influences.

"I'm actually fine, but some people are in a hurry. After all, this concerns the entire country!"

Ever since Hong and Thor returned, the First Set of Calisthenics martial art had spread throughout the world. Yet as the birthplace of this martial art, the country had shown no intention of promoting it.

There was no helping it. Given Lu Yunhe's strength and status as its creator, without him speaking up, the higher-ups truly could not roll it out nationwide on a large scale.

"Actually, it's about time!"

Lu Yunhe looked over the revised Second Set of Radio Calisthenics for Primary and Secondary School Students. After several months of work by everyone, it had become fairly complete in all aspects. Any remaining issues could be gradually revised later.

"Here!"

Lu Yunhe handed the paper documents and disc in his hand to Jia Yi. The rest would be up to them.

"Alright!"

Jia Yi sighed in relief as he took the materials. Apart from Lu Yunhe's personal strength, the reason they had waited for his approval was naturally because they believed this martial art had most likely been obtained from a civilization relic, and there might be unknown issues within it.

After all, Lu Yunhe's departure back then had been related to a civilization relic. Then, after returning, he had created this martial arts manual and made extensive modifications to it. There had to be something behind it.

After Jia Yi returned, the revised Second Set of Radio Calisthenics for Primary and Secondary School Students began spreading through the country's major base cities. It was not just primary and secondary school students—even adults and martial artists began practicing it.

Meanwhile, after those abroad who had obtained the first version discovered that the update only concerned cultural knowledge such as allusions, they also breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling the urge to mock it.

For a martial art meant to improve humanity's physical fitness, it had actually put the cart before the horse by adding cultural knowledge instead of focusing on the martial art itself. What a foolish move.

Many people could already foresee that the future would belong to martial artists. One more powerful martial artist meant one more share of influence.

As for Lu Yunhe, outside opinions could not affect him at all, because he never went online on Earth. With that time, wouldn't it be better to explore the laws of the Universe Origin?

Having initially resolved the fitness martial arts intended for primary and secondary school students, the next step was naturally a martial art for high school students that incorporated combat elements.

Lu Yunhe had only a preliminary idea for it, mainly centered on Light-Heavy Intent. Those who practiced this martial art would not need to deliberately pursue the influence of a weapon's weight.

They would not have to choose weapons that were easy to handle due to the strength gained after becoming martial artists or their unfamiliarity with weapons. Instead, they could choose weapons they personally liked.

Just as Lu Yunhe began contemplating the First Set of High School Military Fist, good news came from the Divine Tree Avatar.

In less than half a year, the Divine Tree Avatar had already begun preparing to break through to the Planetary Level.

At this moment, the Energy Pyramid deep in the desert had completely transformed into the shape of the Divine Tree. The entire space inside the Pyramid had been hollowed out and filled with rows upon rows of hanging mummies—or, more accurately, White Zetsu.

After discovering that the Divine Tree Avatar could create White Zetsu, the monsters in Africa suffered greatly. One after another, they were captured and turned into White Zetsu, providing Cosmic Primal Energy for the Divine Tree Avatar.

However, after testing, the Divine Tree Avatar discovered that the maximum number of White Zetsu was one hundred thousand. But at that number, a large portion of the Cosmic Primal Energy absorbed by the White Zetsu could not be absorbed in time and scattered back into the universe.

The number that could perfectly absorb all the Cosmic Primal Energy provided by the White Zetsu was 10,081. That number of White Zetsu was just right.

One hundred thousand and 10,081—two miraculous numbers from Swallowed Star. There was also another, 100. These numbers were all very special.

After understanding the special nature of this world, the Divine Tree Avatar captured only 10,081 monsters to create White Zetsu and provide itself with Cosmic Primal Energy. Among them were ten Planetary Level monsters.

With the help of the many White Zetsu monsters, the Divine Tree Avatar was about to break through to the Stellar level in less than half a year. Its speed was astonishing, and it had even found time to create a Planetary Level Divine Tree Fruit.

During the Divine Tree Avatar's breakthrough, Lu Yunhe finally confirmed one of his guesses.

As everyone knew, when Pinnacle Cosmic Races naturally grew and broke through realms, nearly half the time spent on each major realm breakthrough went into the accumulation needed for that breakthrough.

Take the Golden Horn Giant Beast from the original work as an example. Natural growth from the early phase of Stellar Rank 1 to the peak of the Stellar Ninth Stage took around forty-five years. Yet breaking through from the Stellar Ninth Stage to the Cosmic level took nearly fifty years, meaning the entire Stellar level lasted close to a hundred years.

But now Lu Yunhe discovered that because the Ultraman Avatar had already broken through to the Stellar level, the Divine Tree Avatar would not be bottlenecked during either the Planetary Level or Stellar level stages and did not require lengthy accumulation.

However, unlike humans, who possessed only a onefold Gene Level and could directly break through after reaching the peak of a realm, the Divine Tree Avatar, with its Tenfold Gene Level, still needed some accumulation when breaking through a major realm.

Originally, breaking through to the Stellar level would have taken half a year. Now, it might take only one month. Then, thanks to the White Zetsu, after reaching the peak of the Planet Ninth Stage, only a few days would be needed.

This discovery also made Lu Yunhe breathe a sigh of relief. He had thought that, because the avatars had been granted by a cheat, he would have to start over even with realm breakthroughs. But now it seemed that only energy accumulation was needed.

"I'm going out for a few days!"

Lu Yunhe informed his family, then took an ordinary fighter jet modified by Dracion from his storage space. It was quite suitable for flight within a planet.

Lu Yunhe's trip was not for the Divine Tree Avatar's breakthrough, but for the Divine Tree Fruit that had already been cultivated.

Riding the customized fighter jet, Lu Yunhe quickly arrived at the Divine Tree Avatar's location.

"So huge!"

The moment he entered, Lu Yunhe was startled. Some things could not be perceived through consciousness; they had to be experienced through the impact of sight.

The entire area beneath the Pyramid had been completely hollowed out. A tree trunk ten thousand meters tall stood at the center like a Pillar of Heaven.

That was right. Though the Divine Tree Avatar had merely reached the peak of the Planetary Level, its main trunk had already grown to over ten thousand meters in length. That did not even include the other branches created through Wood Release.

Plant Lifeforms were truly terrifying!
