Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Whether it's body refinement or combat, Sun Xinhong has no talent in martial arts.

In fact, without awakening any abilities, it's impossible for him to enter the Imperial First Military Academy to study.

But for Wang Chen, such a student is an excellent living advertisement.

Because if Sun Xinhong's talent was outstanding, he wouldn't first seek Wang Chen as his private tutor, and others would easily attribute his progress to his own talent.

Therefore, Wang Chen attaches quite a bit of importance to his first self-funded private student.

It took him just three days to tailor a set of body refinement techniques for Sun Xinhong.

Wang Chen's knowledge in body refinement far exceeds the level that the world's highest body skills can reach.

The Empire's universal body skills, even the techniques taught at the First Military Academy, are ultimately aimed at preparing students for the conditions required for the first and second gene enhancements.

Body skills cannot help people break through their physical limits, but gene enhancement can!

And Wang Chen's body refinement techniques focus on activating human potential.

Talent doesn't matter, as long as the life energy is successfully awakened, one will inevitably be stronger than ordinary people.

During his time in the Cultivation World, he always followed the path of dual cultivation of law and body, having read countless classics and Taoist scrolls on body refinement, including a vast number of related mortal manuals.

Combined with the fact that he has reached an extremely high level in this field, he has accumulated exceptionally rich experience.

Most importantly, although Wang Chen cannot exert force or perform Taoist techniques now, spiritual energy serves as the best helper!

Sun Xinhong has no idea how lucky he is.

Although from a certain perspective, he is Wang Chen's lab rat, the benefits he receives cannot be measured by a mere five hundred thousand Star Currency!

To accelerate the awakening of Sun Xinhong's potential, Wang Chen also prepared various biological products for him based on his personal situation.

Of course, there was a charge for these as well.

At first, Sun Xinhong adopted the attitude of trying one's luck with a dead horse as if it were still alive.

But after a period of learning, his mindset underwent a tremendous change, and his level of effort increased severalfold.

Because the body skills that Wang Chen taught him were becoming increasingly effective.

Moreover, this enhancement could be accumulated!

After just a month, when Sun Xinhong went for another physical assessment, he was astonished to find that his data had actually reached the standard of a "strong".

Citizens of the Holy Light Empire who meet the standard can apply for one or more gene enhancements.

The most important part of this standard is physical data!

The minimum standard for the first gene enhancement is 10.0, and Sun Xinhong's data, while studying with Wang Chen, was 8.7.

Actually, the data of 8.7 isn't too bad; it's still better than that of average people.

Strictly speaking, one can undergo gene enhancement without reaching the minimum standard.

But the success rate would greatly decrease, and there would be significant side effects, even endangering life safety.

Sun Xinhong also considered taking the risk, but ultimately suppressed the impulse.

Now that the data is up to standard, he immediately informed Wang Chen, his excitement evident.

"If you've just passed 10, I suggest you continue exercising for a while,"

Wang Chen thought for a moment and said: "It's best to reach 12 before enhancing; the effects should be optimal."

He has a certain understanding of the Empire's human black technology—gene enhancement.

Wang Chen is actually very interested in this and would like to see Sun Xinhong's physical changes before and after enhancement, perhaps he could use it himself—the original body was not enhanced.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Sun Xinhong, now utterly convinced by Wang Chen, agreed without hesitation.

What Wang Chen never expected was that the next day, Tang Mo came looking for him: "I heard you helped Sun Xinhong reach the standard of a 'strong'?"

"Sun Xinhong told you, huh?"

Wang Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I advised him to enhance after a while."

"I've already been enhanced once."

Tang Mo bit her lip and asked: "Can you also tailor a set of body skills for me? I want to undergo the second enhancement as soon as possible!"

Wang Chen clearly felt her sense of urgency and haste.

It seems she encountered some situation.

But since she didn't mention it, Wang Chen didn't ask and straightforwardly responded: "I said before, I'll give you a 50% discount."

"Thank you."

Tang Mo stared at him, her eyes brimming with unusual brilliance: "I should have trusted you sooner."

Wang Chen laughed: "It's not too late now, after all."

He extended his hand to Tang Mo: "Let me see what your situation really is."

Tang Mo didn't hesitate, placing her delicate hand into Wang Chen's palm.

Wang Chen held her soft jade hand and infused it with spiritual energy.

Tang Mo shivered all over, her teeth biting her red lips, her big eyes immediately turning misty.

But Wang Chen was focused, carefully examining her internal physical condition.

Wang Chen quickly discovered that Tang Mo, who had undergone a gene enhancement once, indeed had subtle differences in her physical condition compared to Ming Mei, who hadn't enhanced.

Simply put, Tang Mo's life potential had been activated, but this activation was forcibly stimulated. Although it had considerable effects on her internal organs, muscles, and bones, it also left behind many side effects.

This is fundamentally different from the body refinement method Wang Chen tailored for Ming Mei.

Of course, the side effects of a first enhancement are not completely irreversible and can gradually recover and be compensated for.

When Wang Chen finished examining Tang Mo's body, he found that she was already on the brink of exhaustion!

He had spent too long examining, and the spiritual energy he infused completely penetrated Tang Mo's nerves and cells, resulting in immense stimulation for her.

Tang Mo relied entirely on her strong willpower to maintain her composure.

Despite this, she bit her lips until they bled.

This made Wang Chen somewhat embarrassed: "Sorry, your condition is special, so I used a bit more of my abilities."

At this time, Tang Mo finally regained some strength; she playfully glared at Wang Chen and then turned and rushed out.

Like a little cat being chased by a tiger!

Wang Chen chuckled silently.

He caught a whiff of a faint scent like orchids mixed with something aromatic.

Though Tang Mo dashed away in embarrassment, Wang Chen indeed thought of a body refinement technique that suited her well.

Nine Revolutions Dragon Tiger Technique!

The Nine Revolutions Dragon Tiger Technique is not an Immortal Law or Taoist Skill, but an excellent mortal martial technique. Mastering it through nine revolutions directly leads to Innate, with profundity comparable to low-tier Immortal Cultivation Dharma Techniques.

This mortal martial technique was something Wang Chen stumbled upon while browsing in the Scripture Pavilion of the Green Hill Fox Tribe years ago.

Although he never practiced it himself, he used it as a reference.

So within a single day, Wang Chen reorganized this cultivation technique, removing parts unsuitable for Tang Mo's practice, creating a simplified version.
