Early morning.

A brand-new day had arrived.

Today was the day of the martial artist assessment.

Chen Yi, Luo Feng, Yang Wu, and more than thirty Quasi-Martial Artists in total took a train under the guidance of a martial artist from the Dojo of Limits, heading for:

"The Jiangnan City North Military District."

They would take the martial artist assessment there.

On the train.

Chen Yi leaned against the window, which reflected Luo Feng sitting opposite him. He thought, Luo Feng has completed a full six objectives in the past half month.

Chen Yi was very pleased with this progress.

Luo Feng had achieved:

[Minute Subtlety Level Movement Technique], [Advanced Warrior strength], [Advanced Warrior neural reaction speed]... and so on.

That was right...

Advanced Warrior physical attributes were among the objectives.

With Chen Yi feeding him items, Luo Feng's punching force had long since crossed the 4,000-kilogram threshold for an Advanced Warrior, and had even reached around 5,200 kilograms! With Advanced Warrior physical attributes, Luo Feng's Spirit Reader realm was naturally at the Intermediate War General level.

This speed of improvement was no surprise.

After all, even the [Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid], which cost 1 point and offered poor value for money, could increase strength by five kilograms without side effects.

If Chen Yi chose to feed him nothing but that,

a hundred vials would give him an increase of five hundred kilograms. That was also why Chen Yi couldn't keep up with Luo Feng's progress...

However,

Chen Yi couldn't feed him just that one thing.

Now that Luo Feng had completed six low-star objectives, Chen Yi had gained six more chances to draw prizes. However, because these chances came from completing low-star objectives, the odds of drawing an item of great value to Chen Yi were low.

From the items he had fed Luo Feng, Chen Yi had only drawn:

"Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid" and "Qian Shui Mosquito Blood."

Both were treasures that improved physical attributes. The "Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid" increased strength by around 5 kilograms without side effects.

The "Qian Shui Mosquito Blood," on the other hand, was no ordinary item.

[Item fed: Qian Shui Mosquito Blood ×1] [Effect: contains a toxin. A few minutes after application, the affected area will itch intensely for half an hour. After half an hour, its residue can stimulate the potential of the body's cells. Using a Guidance Technique at this moment to absorb cosmic energy can increase strength by around 100 kilograms over a period of time.] [Reminder: this item can only be used once a month. Otherwise, the second dose's toxin may cause serious consequences when it stimulates the cells' potential.] [Price: 3 points]

In just over twenty days, Chen Yi's strength had risen from a little over 3,000 kilograms, when he had just entered the Intermediate Warrior level, to nearly 3,400 kilograms!

The "Qian Shui Mosquito Blood" naturally deserved some of the credit.

Besides that,

Luo Feng now had an even more precious treasure, one Chen Yi had coveted for a long time after feeding it to him but had failed to draw...

[Item fed: Vortex Energy Bead] [Usage: soak the "Vortex Energy Bead" in a bathtub and bathe in it daily. It can slowly increase the cells' "appetite," increasing the speed at which they digest and absorb cosmic energy and thereby accelerating the improvement of physical attributes.] [Price: 50 points]

In less than a month, Luo Feng had been able

to raise his strength from the three-thousand-odd kilograms of an Intermediate Warrior to a full 5,200 kilograms or so, far surpassing the 4,000-kilogram threshold for entering the Advanced Warrior level.

The "Vortex Energy Bead" deserved enormous credit for that!

There's no telling how long it'll take to draw the "Vortex Energy Bead." Next, I should test my method for exploiting a bug!

Chen Yi had been doing so over the past few days.

Chen Yi had thought of a possible way to exploit a bug. He couldn't use points to feed himself items directly, but what about indirectly?

For example, he could feed Luo Feng:

"Secret techniques," "Guidance Techniques"... and so on.

Such reproducible techniques and informational items might not need to be drawn at all!

Chen Yi could simply feed one to Luo Feng and then issue him a task.

For example:

[Task: give XX a copy of the secret technique]

The reason would be easy to make up, too. He could just say he thought highly of the person in question.

For his future Yun-raised targets, Chen Yi even planned to forgo communication in a "human form" and pretend to be a "system" from the start.

For example, if he Yun-raised Hong, he would only give mechanical responses and answers.

He would reinforce one concept in Hong's mind: as long as he completed the "system's" corresponding tasks, he could obtain rewards!

From beginning to end, he wouldn't explain why any of the tasks needed to be done.

That way, Chen Yi would be able to directly influence "Hong's" decisions and actions.

That was the advanced way to use the Cloud Raising Mirror!

It even seemed possible to "skim" cultivation resources from his Yun-raised targets and have them send him a portion, but Chen Yi felt he shouldn't take too much in this regard. If he took too many of their resources,

and caused his Yun-raised targets to improve too slowly,

he could then issue them tasks to share cultivation resources,

so everyone could use them to cultivate together.

For example, Chen Yi was currently saving points and planned to feed Luo Feng a "Guidance Technique." A Guidance Technique could be copied, so after feeding it to Luo Feng, he could find a way to issue a task asking him to teach it to Chen Yi.

It wouldn't affect Luo Feng's improvement, and Chen Yi himself could enjoy a share of the reward from feeding him.

Once I've saved enough points, I'll try this method of exploiting a bug.

I'm really looking forward to it...

But for now, I still need to develop slowly.

I'll Yun-raise Luo Feng well, then use Earth's resources to cultivate and look for a chance to bind "Hong." That'll let me earn points even faster...

In his previous life, Chen Yi had liked to make plans in advance, relying on preparations to avoid risks... Through calm thought and analysis, he sought to keep the situation under control and prevent it from turning for the worse.

That suited the ability he now possessed perfectly.

The most powerful thing about the mirror in his mind was probably that Chen Yi only needed to guide his Yun-raised targets to complete tasks and objectives. He didn't need to venture outside himself to obtain cultivation resources, and he could even improve his talent.

With a means like that, unless someone was born with a love of adventure, they probably wouldn't go looking for danger everywhere, would they?

There weren't many dangers on Earth.

Apart from the Golden Horned Beast calamity, the potential threat of the Nuolanshan Family was also worth mentioning. As for the rest, after developing and growing for a while, he could basically sweep everything aside.

But in the universe...

That was a different story!

For geniuses,

the odds of dying young while risking their lives and fighting for treasures were far from low. Of those who fought their way to the end and placed in the top thousand in each Genius Battle, which one wasn't dazzlingly gifted?

But...

Countless still died young.

Only a precious few became Undying.

Even a genius like "Kedi," who had become the Chaos City Lord's disciple, had ultimately died at the hands of an Alien Race.

With an ability like the "Cloud Raising Mirror,"

as long as he kept his head down,

he had what could be called the makings of invincibility!

Thus, Chen Yi wasn't jealous that Luo Feng cultivated a little faster than he did, nor was he anxious in the slightest.

With an ability like this in his grasp, one that let him influence Yun-raised targets one after another, he naturally had to develop steadily and keep his head down until he was invincible!
