Bright Force! Great Completion!

Yang Sheng did not spar or practice 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 once more that Yang Sheng rose and left his room.

After bidding farewell to the Tianhai owner, he hurried home.

Tonight, he planned 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 laughter coming 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 accompanied Liu Chang a few nights ago.

Old Huang and Father Yang were discussing the amusing events of that night as well.

They spoke of the miserable fate that had befallen those three men afterward.

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

Though he was already an expert of the Subtlety Realm, the appreciation in his eyes resurfaced when he saw Yang Sheng.

To him, reaching the Subtlety Realm at his age was already the limit of what one person could achieve through cultivation.

But it was different for young people like Yang Sheng. They still had tremendous room for improvement in the future.

Coupled with Liu Jianming's unexpected appreciation for Yang Sheng, Old Huang took him very seriously.

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

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

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

Old Huang introduced it. "This medicine is a top-tier secret elixir developed through the lifelong efforts of the national medicine grandmaster 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 its yield rate is less than one in ten. It can truly be called exceedingly precious."

Yang Sheng knew about great medicines. Common ones such as Dragon-Scale Fruit and Heaven-Mending Lingzhi could not only satisfy a person's dietary needs, but also clear the meridians and improve one's cultivation.

But he knew very little about secret elixirs.

Seeing Yang Sheng's confusion, Old Huang began to explain.

"Compared with ordinary great medicines, the core of secret elixirs lies in transformation—transforming conflict into harmony, transforming violence into purity. More often than not, they are used at crucial moments. For example, the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill is specifically consumed when a martial artist breaks through from Great Completion of Bright Force to Dark Force. It can effectively control the disorder of blood and qi caused during the breakthrough."

"Many martial artists must use secret elixirs as support during cultivation in order to improve their results. When this old man broke through from Dark Force to the Subtlety Realm back then, had I not relied on a certain secret elixir, I might have perished long ago."

Only after hearing Old Huang's explanation did Yang Sheng understand the value of secret elixirs.

But for the Liu Family to offer such a precious gift, they surely wanted something in return.

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

"Thanks to the relationship between Miss Liu Chang and little brother Yang Sheng's martial sect, President Liu specially asked me to deliver this pill. First, it is to strengthen our relationship. Second, it is 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, so that you may enter a better Martial Arts University."

Yang Sheng was no fool. He immediately understood what Old Huang meant.

In Yu Prefecture, nearly all businesses required powerful martial artists to stand guard.

In this era, the government had sent most of its armed forces to the Federation Fleet.

As for governing Earth, it had already become somewhat inadequate.

Chaos had once broken out frequently because of this.

Later, businesses began training their own martial artists to guard them. 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 reached a high level.

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

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

If he received the Liu Group's support, his rate of development would undoubtedly rise to a new level.

But in exchange, he would lose his freedom.

Thinking this, 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 take back the Heavenly Origin Pill Yang Sheng had pushed toward him.

"Little friend Yang Sheng, you misunderstand. The Liu Group has always acted openly and honorably. This Heavenly Origin Pill may be precious, but it is far from comparable to the resources we truly intend to provide. I came today only to give you advance notice. Besides, this Heavenly Origin Pill has already been charged to Liu Chang's account. It is an elder sister's care for her junior brother."

Yang Sheng's eyes lit up.

Since Old Huang had put it that way, Yang Sheng no longer declined 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.

As the box opened, the medicinal fragrance once again 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 elixir dissipates extremely fast."

Without the Martial God Soul fate, Yang Sheng would never have swallowed this pill so directly.

But he had the Martial God Soul.

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

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

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

In an instant, he felt as if 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 slightly in discomfort.

Fortunately, the burning sensation lasted less than a minute.

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

It was as though electrodes had been inserted into his body. Power surged into him like lightning, violently stirring the muscles throughout his body.

Yang Sheng looked at his arm. His bicep was 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 violent.

With just one punch, he blasted a bright, gaping 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, piercing through the tree trunk.

[Bright Force (492/500)]

Yang Sheng was now utterly excited.

He prowled through the grove, freely unleashing his strength.

His fists were like two blazing fireworks, stimulating their power to the utmost.

Only one minute passed.

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

At that moment, Yang Sheng finally had a flash of insight.

A supreme sensation he had never experienced before coursed through his entire body.

He drew back a punch in an incomparably exaggerated yet utterly fluid posture. Strength condensed to the extreme surged from the soles of his feet into his meridians, traveling along his spine to his fist.

With a 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!
