Chapter 8: Chapter 8: New Life Life energy surged, gathering together, transforming into a sharp spear, roaring away! The next instant! Qin Jin’s own life energy struck at the condensation point of the special energy. The special energy concentrated here was violently dispersed, the flame patterns on the skin disappeared, the Breathing Technique operated, and the life energy guided the special energy, moving within the physique, tempering each location. Pain swept over. Qin Jin’s heart spirit was completely immersed in it. As time passed, at a certain moment, Qin Jin clearly sensed that his own life energy fluctuated violently. In this fluctuation, he seemed to have stepped over a threshold, meandering through a winding path, suddenly enlightened! His flesh was being tempered, his internal organs were being strengthened, his muscles and bones were being enhanced, and his blood was surging! When a Martial Arts Family’s Life Index reaches 20 points, they step into the Newborn Realm, undergoing self-transformation. It may seem easy, but for martial artists lacking talent and sufficient accumulation, it is akin to a chasm. The physique continuously strengthened, with life energy surging forth. Vaguely, Qin Jin sensed that his heart spirit was being cleansed, becoming clearer. This was after the initial transformation when the spiritual will reached a certain standard, and one could begin spiritual cultivation. After a long time. Qin Jin suddenly opened his eyes, full of spirit. He looked down to find that the liquid around him had turned transparent; the power contained in the medicinal bath, taking advantage of ascending the ladder of success, was absorbed into himself, becoming the nourishment for his growth. Qin Jin stepped out of it, standing on the ground, and slightly clenched his fists. Life energy roared within his body, and there were muffled thunder sounds around him. "No wonder entering the stage is so crucial for a Martial Arts Family." "If I encountered my previous self now, I could defeat it in one move." "The ancient formula of the medicinal bath, though primitive, is still considered a secret; without the assistance of the medicinal bath, it probably wouldn’t have been this easy." Qin Jin’s eyes lowered slightly. The profession panel quietly appeared. Name: Qin Jin Age: 16 Profession: [Martial Arts Family][Mecha Refitter][Sacrificial Spirit] His gaze swept over, focusing on the item that had changed. [Martial Arts Family: Newborn Realm] [Life Index: 29.8] [Spiritual Index: 19.4] [Thunder Beast Breathing Technique: Level 3 (Perfection)] The Life Index is based on a Martial Arts Family’s own life energy, and other comprehensive data such as physical strength, to establish the evaluation. The difference in each point of the Life Index increases as the Martial Arts Family progresses. In other words, a difference of one point between 10 and 9, or 20 and 19, though it may seem small, is vastly different in value. "The Life Index is approaching 30 points." "After the transformation, the Spiritual Index also appeared in the panel information." "The initial Spiritual Index of ordinary people ranges between 5-10. Comparatively, my initial Spiritual Index is extremely high, is it because of awakening memories of a previous life?" "It seems, my talent is not bad, the transformation effect is very good." There is also a difference in talent among the Martial Arts Family. Martial Arts Family with superior talent have better results when operating the Breathing Technique, with faster improvements in spiritual will and life energy, gaining more during self-transformation, thus widening the gap. "Martial Arts Family of the Newborn Realm already have a certain status and support in strength." "With the support of Wish Power, the combat power I can unleash surpasses that of the same realm." "My plan can be implemented now." Qin Jin opened his communication wristband, and a light screen appeared in front of him. After a series of operations, the screen entered a website. [Muxing Star Interstellar Network Trading Platform] [Region]: Corridor Star System This is one of the extra-large interstellar network trading platforms established by the Starfire Federation officially. The universe is vast; through countless ages, many Star Sea explorers have become rich overnight due to new discoveries. The Star Sea conceals countless secrets, and trading platforms have emerged as a result. Initially, the transaction content on the platform tended to be conservative, but with time and with the Federation’s tacit approval, the items available for trade have gradually become bizarre. Today, instead, it has become a guarantee, allowing for the purchase of items beyond imagination. The weapon modules added to the Deep Driller were purchased here. Qin Jin’s account was left by his parents. Six years ago, after his parents disappeared, he inherited everything they left behind. Logging into the site, Qin Jin placed the Fire Python Crystal Core on the trading platform. He did not set a price, only adding a description and leaving a private message. In the era of exploration and development, such transactions are like grains of sand in the ocean, insignificant, yet they have become the best cover. After listing the trade item, it will also be recommended through big data to those who need it. "The market for relics of Extraordinary Creatures has always been good." "Compared to spending time finding ways to use it myself, monetizing it can provide greater utility." "Let’s see what kind of surprises it can bring me." A thought flashed through his mind, Qin Jin browsed the trading platform, ordered some items, and closed the interface. He tidied up the remnants after the medicinal bath and left the warehouse. ... East of Xinyang District. This is the residential area of Xinyang District, with many buildings. During the day, an artificial sun rose over Xinyang District, emitting light. With a clear target, Qin Jin moved forward and eventually stopped in front of a single-family villa. The villa’s door was open, looking inside, there was a man’s figure leaning on a rocking chair in the courtyard, wearing slippers, with a paper book covering his face, the lounge chair swaying back and forth, quite comfortably. "Teacher Wen." Qin Jin’s voice sounded. "Who is it?" The rocking chair paused, the man raised his hand, removed the book, yawned, and looked sleepily towards the doorway. "Qin Jin, why are you here?" Seeing Qin Jin, the man’s eyes lit up, and he asked: "Did you encounter any problems with your martial cultivation?" "Didn’t I tell you, at your age, this performance can already be called a genius, so avoid arrogance and rashness." Qin Jin looked at the man’s face. The man appeared to be about thirty or forty years old, middle-aged, his expression was kind, but on his face was a prominent cross-cut scar from left to right, quite fierce. With today’s technology, removing this scar would be easy, not to mention that Martial Arts Families who raise their Life Index possess life force different from ordinary people and would naturally constantly heal themselves. The scar combined with his kind expression appeared somewhat odd. This middle-aged man was Wen Jinglun, the martial arts course instructor at Xinyang District First Middle School, a Martial Arts Family of the Condensation Realm. Listening to Wen Jinglun’s verbose yet caring words, Qin Jin was not surprised. After all, as a martial arts instructor at a Federation-affiliated school, if a student exhibits outstanding performance, he too would receive a reward. "Teacher Wen." Qin Jin interrupted him, straightforwardly saying: "I’ve undergone New Life." "Oh." Wen Jinglun responded, casually placing the book aside, then suddenly realized. "New Life?!" "You’ve advanced to the Newborn Realm?!" Qin Jin nodded. Wen Jinglun instantly got up from the rocking chair, which moved behind him, becoming serious: "Qin Jin, show me." Qin Jin didn’t hesitate. Operating the Breathing Technique, life energy surged, and an invisible momentum spread from around Qin Jin. The specific data of the Life Index requires special instruments for testing. However, under Qin Jin’s voluntary demonstration, Wen Jinglun, being a Martial Artist of the Condensation Realm, used spiritual will to sense; while he couldn’t determine the exact index, he could easily discern a Martial Arts Family’s realm by sensing life energy. "It truly is the Newborn Realm." Wen Jinglun’s senses spread, and a shock rose in his eyes: "With such active life energy, it seems you’ve gained a lot in your transformation." "I didn’t expect to encounter a genius like you in this barren land." In Wen Jinglun’s tone, there was a sense of joy as he looked at Qin Jin: "No wonder you came to find me at this time." "Are you here for the Visualization Technique?"
