Swallowed Star: Start with Family Revitalization

[You have established the Yanfeng Martial Hall, enhancing your family's foundation and taking a big step towards prosperity.]

[Reward: Two mu ya crystals, Flame Second Blade, Prairie Fire Movement Technique Second Layer.]

...

[You have established the Yanfeng Martial Hall, your prestige in Hua Zhong Base City has skyrocketed, your Global fame has greatly increased, and you have taken a solid and powerful small step towards prosperity.]

[Reward: Five mu ya crystals, ten portions of essence of vegetation, Flame Third Blade, Prairie Fire Movement Technique Third Layer.]

[Additional Reward: One small cosmic spaceship.]

...

After reviewing the rewards.

Shen Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.

A cosmic spaceship actually appeared in the additional rewards; this was the first time, which indicated his previous guess was correct. The items in the additional column were highly likely to be random, and good things might appear.

From now on, he had to try his best to achieve a solid and powerful family evaluation, as only then could he continuously obtain additional rewards.

As for the foundational family evaluation, it was not beyond his expectations. The only surprise was that both the blade technique and movement technique in the rewards had improved.

One must know that the 'Flame Twelve Blades' and 'Prairie Fire' secret manuals were far superior to the Ninefold Thunder Blade. To improve his comprehension realm in these aspects, according to his previous estimates, he would need at least a solid and powerful family evaluation. Yet, he obtained it with just a normal 'big step' evaluation.

"This means that as my strength improves, the reward level of the family evaluation is likely to increase as well."

Shen Ping secretly speculated.

This was good news for him, meaning that even if he received a normal evaluation, he would continue to gain improvements in his blade technique and movement technique realms. And according to the information in the Flame Twelve Blades, as long as he cultivated to the Eighth Blade, he would be able to enter the domain on his own.

If it were other Planetary Level martial artists cultivating this blade technique secret manual, mastering the Eighth Blade would be extremely difficult. Even breaking through to the Astral Rank might not be enough, because the further one progressed in this blade technique, the higher the difficulty would be.

But he was different; he could master it as long as he received a family evaluation.

"If I can master the domain, with the power exertion level of the Flame Blade Technique, as long as my body's gene original energy can keep up, my combat power will completely surpass Hong and Thunder God, making me the Global number one... Five evaluations, still five family evaluations short, and preferably above 'a big step'."

He couldn't help but ponder.

Regarding the four directions: population and descendants, foundation, industry, and prestige, industry and prestige had basically reached a bottleneck. Especially industry, it would be difficult to have a significant improvement in a short period. As for prestige, he estimated it would also be difficult. After this Global live broadcast, he could be said to be a household name. On such a basis, it would be relatively difficult to continue increasing his prestige.

So, what remained were population and descendants, and foundation.

"From now on, the focus must be on the expansion and development of the martial hall, and descendants must also be given importance... Strive to become the Global number one within three years!"

Shen Ping's eyes sparkled with anticipation and a vision for the future.

His previous plans had been completed ahead of schedule, and this time he was even more ambitious.

...

Days passed one by one.

As he had predicted, initially, not many martial artists applied to join the Yanfeng Martial Hall, only over a thousand people. Most were observing, wanting to see what the benefits and treatment of the Yanfeng Martial Hall were like, and also how difficult it was to obtain gene serums.

Although Shen Ping was very eager to develop the martial hall, he did not act with undue haste and lower the threshold for obtaining gene serums. Except for ordinary gene serums, which were easy to obtain, all others, whether C-rank, or S and SS-rank, required martial hall contributions.

Time flew by, and it was the end of December.

During this period, the Yanfeng Martial Hall had expanded to every Wei City in the Hua Zhong Base City, and the martial hall members had increased from the initial thousand-plus to over five thousand.

"Mu Yang, next month on the 1st is the Base City's martial artist combat assessment. Whether our martial hall can recruit good talents depends on you."

Inside the martial hall building.

Qin Shan said solemnly. In these past few months, he had completely raised his physical fitness to that of an Intermediate God of War, becoming the first president who could command respect.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not lose to the two major martial halls, the HR Alliance, and other forces!"

Mu Yang was very confident.

Ordinary gene serums from the martial hall did not have much appeal to those Warlord-level martial artists, but they were very attractive to martial artists undergoing the combat assessment. Becoming a Warlord in a short time could save them too much training time, and more importantly, after becoming a Warlord, their survival rate on their first trip to the Wilderness Area would greatly increase.

"Lao Shen attaches great importance to this combat assessment, Mu Yang, don't mess it up."

Zhou Qiang couldn't help but speak.

Mu Yang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Captain, if I encounter a good talent, what level of treatment can I offer?"

Qin Shan said in a deep voice, "If it's truly a good talent, an S-Rank Gene Serum can be directly included in the contract."

"Then it's no problem. Watch me this time."

On the twelfth floor of the building.

Inside the office.

Shen Ping walked in and saw Su Yin, who was reviewing promotional materials. He couldn't help but step forward and say, "Xiao Yin, you're due in just over half a month. Don't come to the martial hall during this time; stay at home and rest."

Ever since the martial hall was established, Su Yin, who was resting at home during her pregnancy, had been responsible for all the martial hall's publicity and miscellaneous affairs. She worked almost every day until night, and sometimes, if Shen Ping hadn't forced her to leave, she might have stayed until the very end.

Su Yin softly said, "Husband, my body is fine. Last time I tested at the martial hall, my physical fitness reached that of an Intermediate Warlord."

She and Li Yuewei had been taking medicinal wine soaked in essence of vegetation for a long time, and their physical fitness improved very quickly. If it weren't for their low base, becoming an Advanced Warlord would have been no problem.

Seeing this, Shen Ping did not try to persuade her further.

In the evening, he returned to the villa.

After dinner, he changed into his training clothes as usual and walked into the ancient civilization gravity room to practice his blade technique. As the movements of the Flame Third Blade began to be performed, the cells in his body rapidly consumed energy.

Two hours later, sensing the surge of gene original energy within him, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Planetary Level Three!

"My current combat power can definitely rank among the forefront of Global councilor-level. Combined with the blade technique and Prairie Fire Movement Technique, plus the assistance of the Planetary Level Yan Xing Flower, I am enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the five chief councilors. I just don't know if I can defeat Thunder God if we fight!"

Finishing his cultivation, Shen Ping twirled the Blazing Blade in his hand, pondering to himself.

Among the Global councilors, Thunder God's gene original energy strength was the highest, but he was limited by Earth's genes and lacked good secret techniques, so he could at most exert seven times his power.

His Flame Third Blade could achieve nine times the power exertion, and whether it was attack, defense, or explosive speed, he could achieve nine times. Coupled with the Prairie Fire Movement Technique, he estimated that even if he wasn't Thunder God's match, he wouldn't be easily defeated by him.

"Tomorrow, I'll go find a King-level monster to practice with."

After breaking through to the Planetary Level, he hadn't fought a King-level monster yet. Now that his strength had improved, his hands were naturally itching for a fight.

So, the next day, Shen Ping took his intelligent fighter jet and left the Base City, arriving at the Australia continent. The number of King-level monsters here was relatively high, perfect for sharpening his blade.
