Having awakened their Spiritual Power, Luo Feng and Luo Hua were too excited to sleep. With nothing else to do, the three brothers played mobile games in the hospital room for the first time in ages.
Thanks to their Warrior-level Physical Quality, Luo Feng and Luo Xia were both gaming experts, slaughtering their way through every match.
But Luo Hua was a complete liability.
He usually did not play games much, and both his controls and game sense were terrible. By the time Luo Feng and Luo Xia were carrying the match, Luo Hua was still soaking in the fountain.
The three brothers had a great time, occasionally roasting each other.
It was not until the middle of the night, when Luo Hua could no longer stay awake and fell asleep, that Luo Feng and Luo Xia began training in the hospital room.
The next day, Luo Feng and Luo Xia were still full of energy, while Luo Hua looked exhausted. With panda eyes, he lay on the bed sleeping soundly.
"Xiaofeng, how are you feeling?"
Early that morning, their mother Gong Xinlan and father Luo Hongguo arrived at the hospital with breakfast they had prepared.
Seeing Luo Feng doing warm-up exercises beside the hospital bed, Gong Xinlan stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine now. Once we finish the discharge paperwork, we can go home."
Luo Feng smiled at his parents as he spoke.
At that moment, Luo Hua, who had been lying in bed, also woke up. Seeing Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, he rubbed his eyes. "Dad, Mom, you're here."
Luo Hongguo nodded. Not seeing Luo Xia, he asked, "Where's your third brother?"
Luo Feng answered, "Third Brother went to handle the discharge paperwork."
As they spoke, Luo Xia walked in carrying various forms. Seeing his parents, he smiled slightly, waved the papers in his hand, and said, "The discharge paperwork is done."
Hearing this, Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan exchanged glances. "Then once you three brothers finish breakfast, we'll head home."
After returning home and resting for a while, Luo Xia and Luo Feng discussed it and decided to visit the Limit Martial Arts Dojo to test their current Physical Quality.
Because his Mental Strength had awakened, Luo Feng's Physical Quality had surged dramatically. By his estimate, his Punch Force should now exceed 3,000 kilograms!
The two headed to the Limit Martial Arts Dojo.
Since they had Quasi-Warrior certificates and their information had already been entered into the citizen database, they swiped their ID cards rather than their trainee cards to enter the Limit Martial Arts Dojo.
"Morning, senior brothers!"
"Morning!"
When Luo Feng and Luo Xia arrived at the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, it was just after nine in the morning. Quite a few trainees were doing morning exercises along the grassy paths. They greeted Luo Xia and Luo Feng, who smiled and returned their greetings.
Third floor of the Advanced Trainee Teaching Building.
Luo Xia and Luo Feng walked in and heard bursts of exhalations and shouted training cries coming from the Training Hall.
Luo Xia looked inside and saw three trainees in training clothes practicing with broadswords and spears.
"Sister Hua, Brother Li, Brother Tie, you came to train so early?"
Luo Feng greeted them.
"Madman!"
"Little Monster!"
The three were somewhat surprised to see Luo Feng and Luo Xia and quickly gathered around them. Sister Hua, the older woman among them, smiled and said to the two brothers:
"Why are you two here? Oh, right, we haven't congratulated you yet! Congratulations on passing the Quasi-Warrior assessment!"
Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, then smiled at the three. "Sister Hua, you all already knew?"
Brother Li said with a chuckle, "The night you passed the assessment, Instructor told us. You two gave us such a shock that we've been coming here early every morning to train these past few days."
Brother Tie asked with a smile, "Madman, Little Monster, you've already passed the assessment. Why are you still here so early?"
Luo Xia smiled. "Isn't the Warrior Practical Assessment on August 1st? Eldest Brother and I came to make some preparations."
After chatting with the three for a while, the two brothers left for the fourth floor.
With their current status as Quasi-Warriors, they were already qualified to enter the instructors' area on the fourth floor.
"What are you doing? Trainees aren't allowed in here."
By the stairs leading to the fourth floor stood an elderly man on duty. Seeing Luo Feng and Luo Xia approach, he instinctively moved to stop them.
But after recognizing Luo Feng and Luo Xia, the elderly man smiled instead and said:
"Oh, it's you two brothers, Luo Feng and Luo Xia. You haven't come to the Wuguan in a long time. Are you going up to the fourth floor? Since you've passed the Quasi-Warrior assessment, you're allowed up there now."
Luo Xia and Luo Feng thanked him. "Thank you, Uncle Li."
The fourth floor had a layout similar to the third floor, except the equipment here was far superior.
Luo Xia and Luo Feng came before a Punching Power Tester. Luo Xia turned it on and said to Luo Feng, "Eldest Brother, you go first. Let's see how much your Punch Force has increased."
Luo Feng nodded, stood before the Punching Power Tester, and took a deep breath. The next second, his fist shot out like a dragon, striking the Punching Target with a booming explosion.
Beep—!
"How much?" Luo Xia asked.
Luo Feng glanced at the screen and said in delight, "4,056 kg!"
Luo Xia was somewhat surprised. "4,056 kg? That's an increase of more than 3,000 kilograms from before!"
He remembered that in the Original Work, after Eldest Brother awakened his Mental Strength, his Punch Force had only increased by a little over 2,000 kilograms.
Yet now, Eldest Brother Luo Feng's Punch Force had increased by more than 3,000 kilograms! It seemed the Body Forging Technique he had taught his eldest brother had been somewhat useful after all!
Luo Feng was extremely excited. "It should be because this is my first time cultivating Gene Force, combined with the awakening of my Mental Strength. Third Brother, test your Punch Force too."
He stepped aside to give Luo Xia room.
Luo Xia walked up to the machine. Without any preparatory movement, he merely lowered his body slightly. The next moment, his fist, carrying a terrifying burst of force, slammed into the Punching Target.
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang out.
Luo Feng blinked and asked, "How much?"
Luo Xia looked at the number on the screen and smiled. "5,140 kg!"
He had not used his full strength in that punch.
That was why the number looked a little low.
But Luo Xia was certain that if he went all out, his Punch Force should reach over 7,000 kg.
Compared with the previous 4,000-odd kilograms,
it had increased by more than 3,000 kilograms.
This Physical Quality was already very close to that of an Elementary Warrior-General, not far from the improvement he had estimated before.
The reason he could raise his Punch Force from over 4,000 kilograms to over 7,000 kilograms in such a short time was entirely due to the foundation laid by the Body Forging Technique he had comprehended from various videos and ancient texts.
Without the foundation strengthened by the Body Forging Technique,
Luo Xia estimated that when he and Eldest Brother Luo Feng cultivated Gene Force for the first time, their Punch Force would have increased by at most a little over 2,000 kilograms!
"Gasp—!"
Luo Feng sucked in a sharp breath.
5,140 kg?!
That was more than 1,000 kilograms higher than his own Punch Force!
"Xia, you..."
He could not find words to describe how he felt at that moment.
From birth until their first cultivation of Gene Force, humans spent more than a decade, sometimes even longer, with bodies that had never absorbed Gene Force.
Because of this, cells that had been "starving" for more than ten or twenty years showed the most astonishing improvement during the first cultivation session!
But Luo Feng had never imagined that his third brother's talent would be so heaven-defying. During his first Gene Force cultivation, he had increased his Punch Force by nearly 4,000 kilograms!
One had to know that when ordinary people cultivated Gene Force for the first time, their Punch Force increased by at most 300 kilograms.
An increase of 600 kilograms was already considered excellent.
If someone could increase their Punch Force by more than 1,000 kilograms during their first cultivation of Gene Force, they would be considered an elite-level Genius!
His own Punch Force had increased by more than 3,000 kilograms this time, which was already an incredibly terrifying improvement.
But Luo Xia was even more outrageous!
His Punch Force had actually increased by more than 4,000 kilograms!
From over 1,400 kilograms to more than 5,000 kilograms, that was a jump of nearly 4,000 kilograms!
Although it was because this was his first time cultivating Gene Force, wasn't that increase far too absurd?!
Luo Feng stared at Luo Xia with wide eyes.
He knew his younger brother was a monster!
But for him to be this monstrous was far beyond Luo Feng's imagination.
