Bright Force! Great Completion!

Yang Sheng neither sparred nor practiced boxing that day. Instead, he sat alone in his room with his eyes closed, carefully digesting all the insights he had gained over the past few days.

It was not until the moon hung high in the sky again that Yang Sheng rose and left his room.

After bidding the Tianhai boss farewell, he hurried home.

That night, he intended to get a good night's sleep, restore his energy, and prepare for tomorrow's test.

Just as he reached his front door, Yang Sheng heard a burst of laughter from inside.

Opening the door, Yang Sheng found his father sitting with a middle-aged man dressed in fitted martial attire.

He was no stranger to this middle-aged man. He was the Liu Family expert who had been beside Liu Chang a few nights ago.

Old Huang and Yang Sheng's father were discussing the amusing events of that night.

They spoke of the miserable fate the three men had suffered afterward.

The moment he saw Yang Sheng return, Old Huang immediately stood up.

Although he was already an expert of the Subtlety Realm, appreciation once again appeared in his eyes when he looked at Yang Sheng.

To him, reaching the Subtlety Realm at his age was already the limit of personal cultivation.

But it was different for young people like Yang Sheng. They still had enormous room to improve in the future.

Furthermore, Liu Jianming held Yang Sheng in unexpectedly high regard, so Old Huang took him very seriously.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Huang explained why he had come.

He took an exquisite little box from his wide sleeve and handed it to Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng opened it and found a pill inside, giving off a rich medicinal fragrance.

Old Huang introduced it. "This medicine is a top-grade secret medicine developed through the lifelong efforts of the national medicine master Sun Siji! It is known as the Heavenly Origin Pill. It contains the essence of many Great Medicines. A single pill requires a full hundred days of refinement, and fewer than one in ten batches produce a good pill. It is exceedingly rare."

Yang Sheng knew about Great Medicines. Ordinary Great Medicines such as Dragon-Scale Fruit and Heaven-Mending Lingzhi could not only meet one's nutritional needs, but also clear the meridians and improve cultivation.

But he knew very little about secret medicines.

Seeing Yang Sheng's confusion, Old Huang explained.

"Compared to ordinary Great Medicines, the core of secret medicine lies in transformation—transforming conflict into fusion, transforming violence into purity. More often, they are used at critical moments. For example, the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill is specifically taken when a martial artist breaks through from Great Completion of Bright Force to Dark Force. It can effectively control the disorder in one's blood and qi caused during the breakthrough."

"Many martial artists must rely on secret medicines to assist their cultivation and improve its effects. When this old man broke through from Dark Force to the Subtlety Realm, if I had not relied on a certain secret medicine, I might have perished long ago."

After hearing Old Huang's explanation, Yang Sheng finally understood how precious secret medicines were.

But for the Liu Family to give him something so valuable, they surely wanted something in return.

Sure enough, seeing Yang Sheng's expression, Old Huang knew it was time to reveal his purpose.

"Thanks to the relationship between Liu Chang and little brother Yang Sheng's respective sects, President Liu specially asked me to deliver this pill. First, to strengthen our relationship. Second, to inform little brother Yang Sheng in advance that after the test, the Liu Group is willing to support you and help you take first place in the Martial Arts Entrance Exam and gain admission to a better Martial Arts University."

Yang Sheng was not stupid. He instantly understood Old Huang's meaning.

In Yu Prefecture, nearly every business needed powerful martial artists to stand guard.

In this era, the government had deployed the vast majority of its armed forces to the Federation Fleet.

As for governing Earth, it had become somewhat powerless.

In the past, this had led to frequent chaos.

Later, all kinds of businesses began cultivating martial artists of their own to stand guard. Under the mutual deterrence of high-level martial artists, social order had miraculously reached a balance.

For that very reason, the larger the company, the more it needed top-tier martial arts experts.

Many companies had also begun competing for talent, investing in gifted martial artists before their cultivation had grown too high.

Then, after those martial artists completed their studies and returned, they would join the company and provide protection.

After hearing Old Huang's words, Yang Sheng hesitated.

If he could receive the Liu Group's support, his growth would certainly reach another level.

But in exchange, he would lose his freedom.

With that in mind, Yang Sheng shook his head and pushed the Heavenly Origin Pill back.

"Thank you, Steward Huang, but whether I accept the Liu Family's support is something I still need to consider."

Old Huang did not accept the Heavenly Origin Pill that Yang Sheng had pushed back.

"Young friend Yang Sheng, you misunderstand. The Liu Group has always acted openly and honorably. Though this Heavenly Origin Pill is precious, it is far from comparable to the resources we truly intend to provide. I came today merely to give you advance notice. Moreover, this Heavenly Origin Pill has already been charged to Liu Chang's account. This is an elder sister taking care of her junior brother."

Yang Sheng's eyes lit up.

Since Old Huang had put it that way, Yang Sheng no longer refused and accepted the Heavenly Origin Pill.

It only meant that he owed Senior Sister Liu Chang an even greater debt.

After Old Huang left, Yang Sheng returned to his room.

Sitting on his bed, he carefully opened the box containing the Heavenly Origin Pill.

The moment the box opened, the medicinal fragrance once more filled the entire room.

"Old Huang said that once the Heavenly Origin Pill is taken out, it must be consumed quickly. This kind of secret medicine disperses extremely fast."

If he did not possess the Martial God Soul fate, Yang Sheng would never have swallowed this pill directly.

But he had the Martial God Soul.

[Martial arts cultivation will never regress. Every bit of hard cultivation will be corrected by the Martial God Soul onto the most accurate path, accumulating endlessly, breaking through limits, without end!]

"My cultivation will not regress. Even if this medicine has side effects, at worst it will simply have no effect. I'll take it!"

As he spoke, Yang Sheng swallowed the pill in one gulp.

In an instant, he felt as though he had swallowed a fireball.

His entire body became scorching hot.

The pill was rapidly being absorbed and digested.

The dense medicinal power surged toward Yang Sheng's internal organs.

Yang Sheng frowned in discomfort.

Fortunately, the burning sensation lasted less than a minute.

Then it slowly faded, and he could clearly feel the medicinal power transforming into pure strength.

It was as if electrodes had been inserted into his body. Strength surged into him like lightning, violently stirring every muscle in his body.

Yang Sheng looked at his arm. His biceps were twitching wildly.

He looked down at his abdomen, where his abdominal muscles were contracting over and over.

Yang Sheng rose, climbed through the window, and entered the small grove outside.

He threw a punch, and the force of it was savage.

With a single punch, he blasted a glaring hole through a tree trunk as thick as half a man.

[Bright Force (491/500)]

Yang Sheng's eyes lit up.

It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of gaining one point of cultivation progress with every punch.

He threw another punch and pierced through the tree trunk.

[Bright Force (492/500)]

By then, Yang Sheng was completely exhilarated.

He moved through the grove, freely unleashing his strength.

His fists were like two blazing fireballs, drawing out their power to the utmost.

Only a minute passed.

Under Yang Sheng's devastating attacks, not a single tree in the entire grove was spared.

And at that moment, Yang Sheng suddenly felt enlightened.

An unprecedented, supreme sensation coursed through his entire body.

He drew back a punch in an extremely exaggerated yet utterly fluid posture. Power condensed to the limit surged from the soles of his feet into his meridians, traveled along his spine, and transmitted into his fist.

Boom!

The steel sign outside the grove that read "Logging Prohibited" was smashed by Yang Sheng's punch into a pile of twisted scrap metal.

At that moment.

Bright Force! Great Completion!
