Only a Guess

After leaving the rooftop, Cao Bing finally let out a slow breath of relief.

Being around a big shot like Zhuge Tao always came with immense pressure.

Especially when Zhuge Tao had mentioned his parents earlier. If not for his superb acting, he would have been exposed. Although Cao Bing had inherited all the memories of this body, it was really like watching a movie. He could relate to some of the emotions, but they were far weaker than personally experiencing them.

So to a certain extent, it was difficult for him to truly feel them. If his acting had slipped just now, Zhuge Tao might have considered Cao Bing a cold-hearted person by nature. At that point, forget about a recommendation—even any rewards would have gone down the drain.

Fortunately, this time he had gained quite a lot. Although he had not received any tangible reward, a recommendation slot for the global Elite Training Camp was far more precious than any reward.

Luo Feng had also finished his conversation by then, but his calm expression made it obvious that the Lightning Martial Arts' attempt to poach him had failed.

At the same time, Yang Wu came over. The lean man had once again passed the test right on the borderline.

"Ha ha, Luo Feng, Cao Bing, you two really stole the spotlight this time!" Yang Wu shouted happily.

"Just luck," Cao Bing and Luo Feng said modestly.

Of course, this sort of modesty was also a form of showing off.

It was just that Luo Feng considered it keeping a low profile, while Cao Bing considered it putting on an act.

"Let's go back and celebrate together later," Cao Bing suggested proactively.

"Sure!" Yang Wu immediately perked up. The guy was always enthusiastic whenever food and drinks were involved. "I heard you made a fortune, kid. We're going to fleece you good."

"No problem!" Cao Bing laughed.

Luo Feng listened from the side and could not bring himself to refuse and spoil everyone's mood.

As for calling home, Luo Feng wisely did not bring it up, knowing Cao Bing's situation. He would probably find an excuse to leave and make the call later.

After eating and drinking his fill, Cao Bing returned home alone.

At last, I can get my hands on those high-level manuals.

At first, the Gene Primal Energy Cultivation Method had been quite good. At the very least, it was far faster than relying solely on physical training. But after Cao Bing had precisely mastered all 108 movements from the upper, middle, and lower sections of the Tongtian Diagram, practiced them to perfection, and formed the three-colored armor, the Gene Primal Energy Cultivation Method had gradually begun to fall behind.

Every time he cultivated for less than half an hour, he had to use the Tongtian Diagram to digest the energy. It was too much of a waste of time.

Cao Bing went to his home theater. Facing the enormous 200-inch screen, he skillfully entered the Limit Home website address and registered his fingerprint.

Beautiful music began playing in the theater. At the same time, a personal page appeared on the huge screen, displaying a photograph of Cao Bing and several information fields below it.

Name: Cao Bing

Gender: Male

Address: Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia Nation

Martial Artist Certificate Number: 426123205603080183

Level: Beginner Warrior level

Contribution Points: 100,000 points (two-star)

Currency Balance: 532,600,000 Huaxia currency

Cao Bing had quite a bit of money in his account. The largest portion came from selling the Flying Shadow Steps earlier. Another portion was startup capital awarded by the Limitless Martial Arts, while the rest consisted of an inheritance left by his parents and the profits from reselling goods between the two worlds during this period.

At the same time, Cao Bing noticed an envelope icon flashing on the webpage.

When he clicked it open, it showed that he had two emails waiting to be received.

Cao Bing naturally opened the first email, and a video immediately appeared.

"Hello, Mr. Cao Bing." A middle-aged man in a black suit appeared on the huge screen and smiled. "I am Supervisor Zhuge's assistant. The supervisor has promised that any manual you purchase costing no more than 200 million will be reimbursed directly through the internal network. Not a single cent will be deducted from you. If the price exceeds 200 million, Mr. Cao Bing, you will have to pay the excess yourself. On behalf of the supervisor, I also congratulate you on passing the Martial Artist practical examination."

After saying that, the video ended immediately.

"Two hundred million!" Cao Bing narrowed his eyes, his heartbeat quickening.

Although Cao Bing was already quite wealthy, no one ever complained about having too much money.

"Is Zhuge Tao increasing his investment in me?" Cao Bing said in amazement.

"Fair enough. I've performed pretty well these past few times. Compared to Luo Feng, as long as Zhuge Tao does not know that Luo Feng's movement technique has reached the Micro-level and Luo Feng does not reveal that he is a Mental Master, the talent I've displayed far surpasses Luo Feng's."

Cao Bing thought with some amusement, Perhaps Zhuge Tao will invest even more in Luo Feng once he learns the truth about him!

However, Luo Feng seemingly did not want to reveal it either. That guy always liked to keep something in reserve.

Shaking his head, Cao Bing clicked open the second email.

The email also contained a video.

"Dear newly promoted Martial Artist Cao Bing, hello. On behalf of the Limitless Martial Arts, I welcome you to our big family." A sweet-looking young girl smiled. "This is your first time entering Limit Home, the internal network of the Limitless Martial Arts. Let me introduce the functions of Limit Home."

"First of all, at Limit Home, you can purchase weapons of every level, guiding techniques, movement technique manuals, attack manuals such as saber techniques, spear techniques, sword techniques, and more. There are also firearms, transportation, armor and protective gear, communication systems, special bombs, special medical drugs, genetic medicines, and even special materials and treasures. As long as you have enough money, you can buy them."

"Once you make payment, the goods will be delivered within 24 hours."

"Through Limit Home, you can even hire Warrior General level Martial Artists or even God of War level Martial Artists to provide one-on-one teaching and guidance through the network. Naturally, you will also need to pay enough money."

The girl in the video smiled. "If you have enough contribution points, the prices of all the items above will be cut in half."

Cao Bing closed the video. He already basically understood what it contained.

It was nothing more than an introduction to the basic functions of the Limitless Martial Arts.

Opening the forum, Cao Bing casually browsed some posts online for a while, gaining a general understanding of the Martial Artist world.

At the same time, he focused on learning about Mental Masters.

To be honest, Cao Bing was extremely fascinated by Mental Masters.

Unfortunately, even after reading for a long time, he still could not figure out how Mental Masters awakened. He was completely confused, so he finally gave up.

I wonder if there are any manuals about circulating energy through the meridians? Cao Bing curiously entered the search terms.

A huge number of posts immediately popped up.

"Thoughts on the Meridians Absorbing Genetic Energy"

"On the Possibility of Meridian and Dantian Cultivation"

"Speculations on Training the Human Body's Meridians"

"..."

And so on.

Cao Bing read through those posts for quite some time, only to find that they were all speculation. There was not a single truly systematic cultivation method.

In other words, in the Devouring Starry Sky World, cultivating True Qi and circulating it through the meridians still existed only at the theoretical stage. No genuine experiments had ever been completed.

Or perhaps experiments had been conducted, but they had failed.
