Luo Feng Awakens

"Eldest brother, did you sense Cosmic Energy?"

Luo Xia asked as he and Luo Feng walked downstairs.

Luo Feng shook his head with a wry smile. "I tried all afternoon, but I still haven't sensed Cosmic Energy. You, on the other hand... you sensed it in an instant. You really are my younger brother."

Luo Xia scratched his head.

There was nothing he could do to help Luo Feng sense Cosmic Energy.

This matter was rather mysterious.

It concerned one's aptitude and talent.

It was not something that could be accomplished through another person's guidance and experience.

"Eldest brother, you'll definitely sense it!"

In the end, that was all Luo Xia could say to comfort him.

Luo Feng nodded and asked Luo Xia, "I heard Instructor say that after cultivating Gene Force for the first time, one's Physical Quality improves tremendously. How do you feel now?"

"I feel great."

Luo Xia pondered slightly. By his estimation, after cultivating Gene Force, his Physical Quality should now be close to the Elementary Warrior-General level.

"There's a very powerful force in my body. A punch right now should be around five or six thousand kilograms, I think?"

Luo Feng was startled. "Five or six thousand kilograms? Wouldn't that surpass the Punch Force of an Advanced Warrior?"

The Punch Force standard for an Advanced Warrior was 4,000 kg.

"We'll need to test it to know for sure," Luo Xia said.

The figure he had given was already a conservative estimate.

His first Gene Force cultivation had brought him an enormous improvement!

In his estimation, one of his punches should now be able to exceed 7,000 kg, which was already very close to the strength of an Elementary Warrior-General.

"Does the first Gene Force cultivation really improve one's Physical Quality that much?"

After hearing his younger brother's words, Luo Feng said expectantly, "When we tested today, your Punch Force was only around 1,400 kilograms. Now it's suddenly reached five or six thousand kilograms! That's an incredible improvement!"

Luo Xia smiled. "Eldest brother, don't forget, your younger brother is a Genius!"

Luo Feng smiled and nodded. "That's right. You're an even more monstrous genius than I am!"

As the two talked, they had already arrived at the living room on the first floor.

Luo Hongguo and Luo Hua were watching television on the sofa, while their mother, Gong Xinlan, was busy in the kitchen. Because of Luo Xia's instructions that afternoon, Luo Hongguo and the others knew that Luo Xia and Luo Feng were cultivating in their room, so they had not gone upstairs to disturb them.

Seeing the Two Brothers come downstairs, Luo Hongguo turned back with a smile and asked, "Xiao Feng, Xia, have you finished cultivating?"

"Mm, we're done cultivating."

Luo Xia nodded and asked, "Has Mom finished cooking?"

"Hungry?" Luo Hongguo smiled. "Your mom prepared the ingredients ages ago. She was just waiting for you two to come down. She heard some movement upstairs earlier, so she's cooking in the kitchen now. Just wait a little longer, and we can eat!"

Before long, the family gathered around the dining table.

The table was laden with fish and meat, an exceptionally lavish dinner.

Holding up his wineglass, Luo Hongguo said happily, "Come on, let's raise a glass to celebrate Xiao Feng and Xia successfully passing the Quasi-Warrior assessment!"

"Cheers!"

Luo Feng and Luo Hongguo had wine in their glasses.

As for Luo Xia and Luo Hua, they were not old enough, so they drank beverages along with their mother, Gong Xinlan.

The family tilted back their heads and took a sip.

Looking at the harmonious scene before him, Luo Xia felt a sense of happiness and emotion.

He had transmigrated here sixteen years ago. Though he retained the memories of his previous life, after so many years, he had already integrated into this family and become one of them.

He still remembered that when he was very young, Luo Hongguo had worked himself to the bone every day to raise their three children. Not a day went by when his clothes were clean. He rose early and returned late, so exhausted that he would collapse into bed the moment he got home.

Their mother, Gong Xinlan, had also sacrificed much to care for him and Luo Hua. She had changed diapers and washed clothes every day. When they had first been born, she had barely slept well at night, and sometimes she had to squeeze in odd jobs to help cover the household expenses.

It was only after his eldest brother grew a little older and became sensible enough to help care for him and Luo Hua that Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo finally had it a little easier.

Come to think of it, during this period in the Original Work, Luo Feng should have been in prison.

And that incident had also involved their father, Luo Hongguo.

Because Luo Xia had not existed in the Original Work, Luo Hongguo still had to work outside at this time. As a result, Zhang Haobai framed him while he was at work.

Luo Feng had happened to be on his way to share the good news with Luo Hongguo—that he had passed the Quasi-Warrior assessment. Who would have thought that he would witness his father being humiliated? Enraged, he beat up Zhang Haobai and the others, then was thrown into prison.

But now that Luo Xia was here, he had earned money online early on and given the family a good life. Luo Hongguo no longer needed to work outside, so nothing like that from the Original Work would happen.

After dinner, Luo Xia and his two brothers helped their mother, Gong Xinlan, clear away the dishes. The family chatted in the living room for a while and rested before returning to their respective rooms.

After returning to his room, Luo Xia did not continue cultivating.

The energy his cells could absorb was already saturated, so continuing to cultivate would have no effect.

"What a pity. The Guidance Technique I comprehended can only be cultivated at the Advanced Warrior-General level..."

The reason a Guidance Technique was more advanced than the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method—

was that it allowed Warriors to cultivate for longer and let their cells absorb more energy.

And the Guidance Technique Luo Xia had comprehended was of the highest grade. It could absorb Cosmic Energy uninterruptedly for twenty-four hours a day.

But...

because it was too advanced—

the Physical Quality it required was also extremely high.

One had to reach the Advanced Warrior-General level before beginning to cultivate it.

For now, Luo Xia could only use the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method to cultivate.

After lying down on the bed, Luo Xia drifted off to sleep in a daze.

In the dead of night, he suddenly sensed fluctuations of Cosmic Energy and woke from his dream.

"This is... a fluctuation coming from eldest brother's room. Did he sense Cosmic Energy?"

Luo Xia muttered to himself. Seeing that it was not any danger, he lay back down again.

The next day, when Luo Xia got up, he saw Luo Feng's delighted expression and could not help asking, "Eldest brother, did you sense Cosmic Energy last night?"

"Mm! I tried again last night, but I drifted off to sleep. Then, in my dream, I sensed Cosmic Energy!"

Luo Feng said.

"Congratulations, eldest brother!" Luo Xia said with a smile.

In the following days, the Two Brothers did nothing but cultivate at home. On the third day, their Quasi-Warrior certificates finally arrived.

The whole family was excited when they received the certificates.

However, just then, Luo Feng's expression suddenly changed. Then, amid Luo Hongguo and the others' cries of alarm, he fainted!

"Quick, Xiao Hua, Xia, call the hospital!"

Holding the unconscious Luo Feng, Luo Hongguo said anxiously.

Luo Hua quickly grabbed his phone and began making the call nearby.

Luo Xia crouched down to examine his eldest brother's condition. Through his Mental Strength perception, he discovered—

that powerful streams of Mental Strength were surging from his eldest brother's mind and merging into every part of his body.

Under the cleansing of this Mental Strength, his eldest brother Luo Feng's Bones, internal organs, blood, Muscles, skin, and every other part of his body were undergoing drastic changes!

"So this was the physical evolution brought about by a complete awakening of Mental Strength..."

Luo Xia murmured, growing increasingly eager to see the changes his own complete Mental Strength awakening would bring.
