In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Get Stronger! Get Stronger!

However, he looked at the girl in front of him.

In reality, gene repair technology is already quite mature. It’s just that the price is not low. Moreover, the Martial Path itself is a path of perfecting and evolving life, and it comes with its own gene repair effects.

In other words, this is not an insurmountable obstacle.

As long as one can overcome it, the past suffering will instead become nourishment for the will and a foundation for strength.

Therefore, his previous judgment was correct. This girl does indeed have good potential.

With this thought, Shen Xing stopped stalling and said to Xiaoling seriously, “I already know the reason why you want to make money. To be honest, I did ask you out because I need to find an agent. I can get more cultivation resources than I can use myself, and I don’t have time to waste on this.”

“I can do it!”

Xiaoling immediately became excited. Her expression made one wonder if her tearful appearance earlier was just an act.

She even vigorously patted her flat chest and eagerly promised, “I know some big shots in the Martial Path Academy also look for agents to sell resources. I guarantee I can do better than all of them. I also have subordinates, a strong team, and distribution channels. I’m not fighting alone.”

“You have subordinates?” Shen Xing smiled. “How many?”

Xiaoling immediately raised her hand, but after hesitating for a moment, she folded down three fingers.

Only two subordinates, and she calls that a strong team?

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter.” Shen Xing didn’t bother to ask about these two people. After a moment of thought, he said, “I can give you the opportunity. That’s why I came here in the first place. But how long you can do it depends on your performance.”

“Thank you, Mr, no, boss!”

Xiaoling clenched her fist tightly, looking truly excited, as if she was about to jump for joy.

“Here’s a Yuan Qi Pill. I’ll sell it to you for 150,000 for now.” Shen Xing handed her the Yuan Qi Pill. “Contact me online after you get back. Come to me every day at noon to get resources. No matter how much you sell the Basic Yuan Liquid for, I only want 9,000 per unit.”

“No problem!” Xiaoling readily agreed, looking at Shen Xing with anticipation. “Um, boss, how much Basic Yuan Liquid can you give me to sell in the future?”

“It depends on your performance,” Shen Xing said with a smile. “Maybe more than you can imagine.”

“Then I’ll be your loyal servant for the rest of my life!” Xiaoling patted her chest, her rapid change in demeanor contrasting sharply with her aggressive attitude earlier.

“Alright.” Shen Xing, seeing that things were almost settled, prepared to head back. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, “Xiaoling is your online name, right? What’s your real name?”

“Xiaoling is my name. I don’t want my old name from my parents anymore. I’ll change it when I become an adult!” Xiaoling forced a fawning smile that didn’t match her age or beauty. “How about I just take your surname, boss?”

“…” Shen Xing gave her a deep look. “Then work hard and don’t disappoint me.”

This last look made Xiaoling freeze in place.

Could this mean… that he would eventually accept her as one of his own?

Originally, saying she would take his surname was just flattery.

But at this moment, a flicker of anticipation actually arose in Xiaoling’s heart.

However, she quickly shook her head, looked at the Yuan Qi Pill in her hand, and couldn’t help but grin.

She was already typing furiously in a chat group with only three members.

“Guys, you won’t believe what happened to me today!”

“I’m going to be rich!”

“Wahahaha!”

“（Laughter）（Laughter）（Laughter）”

“…”

Well, no matter what, Xiaoling is still a seventeen-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, after settling the matter of the agent, Shen Xing looked at the newly added 150,000 on his account and felt satisfied.

◈◈◈

But he had already wasted a lot of time today.

The matter with Xiaoling had given him a slight shock.

The sky above was currently sunny, with blue skies and white clouds. However, the endless sea of stars beyond the sky… might not be so peaceful.

Perhaps it was also filled with unimaginable darkness and cruelty, not necessarily better than the primitive and brutal other world.

“Get stronger! Get stronger!”

Shen Xing slowly exhaled, strengthening his will and determination.

Nothing is more important than getting stronger!

He had originally planned to carefully choose a new residence, but now he had completely abandoned that idea. He quickly chose a dormitory near the academy with a bathroom and a small training area, about thirty square meters in total, and completed the move-out procedures. Then he returned to bring all his belongings.

Then, he took out the newly replaced load suit and the gravity device that he had only managed to get thanks to Hu An and the bet!

“Let’s begin. Let’s see the effects of the gravity device.”

After putting on the load suit, Shen Xing discovered that there was already a designated slot on the waist for the gravity device.

These devices were probably designed to be used together from the start.

Activate!

The moment he pressed the button and confirmed the activation of the gravity device, Shen Xing’s expression changed. He could clearly feel an invisible heaviness covering his entire body.

It was completely different from the pressure exerted by the load suit.

As Hu An had said, it wasn’t just pressure on the skin and muscles. Even his internal organs, bones, blood, head, and even every strand of hair felt heavy.

The current gravity wasn’t too high, only about 1.4 times.

But if he were to train…

Shen Xing swallowed a Blood Spirit Pill, felt the warm currents surge, and his Qi and Blood roiled as he slowly assumed the first posture.

Instantly, his muscles trembled, and the warm currents rapidly flowed throughout his body, integrating into his physique.

“It really is faster!” Shen Xing’s eyes lit up. “And not just by one time!”

That’s right. The gravity device was said to increase the effect by “at least one time.”

Just like the load suit, it had different effects on people with different talents.

“Begin!”

At this moment, Shen Xing forgot about the competition at the academy, forgot about the bet, forgot about the agent. It was as if all of these were trivial matters. He threw himself wholeheartedly into his training.

When the Yuan Qi warm currents dissipated, he would take pills. When he was hungry or thirsty, he would drink nutrient solutions. When he was tired and sleepy, he would use the learning device to assist with deep sleep for a few hours. He was almost in a state of frenzy.

But without such dedication, how could one become stronger?

Shen Xing was indeed becoming increasingly obsessed with the Martial Path.

The originally arduous and painful training process seemed to make him lose track of time.

It wasn’t until the next day, when it was time to report to school, that he took a deep breath and reluctantly stopped.

“Compared to yesterday, I’ve become visibly much stronger!” He felt the changes in his body and was filled with joy.
