Swallowed Star: Start with Family Revitalization

Whoosh.

The leaves of the Yan Xing Flower grew wildly, and its main root system rapidly spread within the locke divine water, absorbing a large amount of life force. As its energy reached saturation, its main vine split into another main vine. This new main vine instantly grew to the same height as the other main vines, and its flame-colored leaves also bloomed, revealing sharp barbs on their surface.

24 main vines!

This was the Yan Xing Flower's sign of transcending to the Astral Rank.

Unlike the Planetary Level,

the Astral Rank Yan Xing Flower not only had more main vines, but its strangling and corrosive burning abilities were greatly enhanced, and its vitality also improved. During battle, as long as one main vine remained intact, the other damaged vines could quickly recover.

Therefore, to destroy the Yan Xing Flower, all its main vines had to be destroyed.

Feeling the joy of the Yan Xing Flower

Shen Ping stepped forward and stroked its leaves, his gaze sweeping over the special material cube. A considerable amount of locke divine water had been consumed, but he showed no signs of distress, as the Yan Xing Flower reaching the Astral Rank was of immense help to him.

"With an Astral Rank Yan Xing Flower, the monsters on Earth no longer pose any threat. The previously set development plan can now be accelerated."

His eyes gleamed with excitement.

Family development required strong martial power as a foundation to deter more petty individuals and avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, he was now at Planetary Level Six, far surpassing the Third Speaker, Empress Bingxue, on a Global scale.

Suppressing his excitement,

he put away his distracting thoughts, went downstairs to shower in the bathroom, and then came to his wife Li Yuewei's bedroom. Seeing her still handling company affairs on her laptop, he couldn't help but move closer and start touching her.

"Wait a moment."

"I'm busy,"

Li Yuewei said with a blush, enduring her body's reaction.

Shen Ping leaned beside his wife and glanced at the laptop. It displayed Pingwei Materials Company's semi-annual quarterly performance report. He hadn't been to the company for some time and wasn't as clear about its development as before.

Upon seeing it, he exclaimed in surprise, "The profit for the first half of this year is not low at all, it actually exceeded 50 billion!"

Such a high net profit in just half a year meant that Pingwei Materials Company's overall scale and output value could rank among the Global first-class. From its establishment to now, it had only been a few years, and such a development speed was truly astonishing.

Li Yuewei smiled and said, "Thanks to the gene agents, many martial artists are willing to sell to our company under the star-level evaluation. Moreover, in March of this year, the company established subsidiaries in the Capital Base City and Jiangnan Base City. Judging by the speed of performance growth, the second half of the year will be even higher."

"It just still can't compare to the HR Alliance."

Shen Ping kissed his wife's cheek, "How many years has the HR Alliance been developing? It's also supported by financial families within it. These financial groups control the Global economy. How could Pingwei Materials Company surpass them in just a few years?"

Li Yuewei clenched her small fists, her eyes sparkling with the aura of a strong businesswoman, "If we can't surpass them in a few years, then we'll do it in ten, twenty years. I believe our company will definitely become the strongest company in the Global."

Looking at his wife's confidence,

Shen Ping chuckled, "Go, wife, I'll always support you."

Hearing this,

Li Yuewei placed her laptop on the counter, burrowed into the quilt, poked out her little head, and ran her tongue over her lips, "Husband, I want you to support me right now."

Soon, the bed began to shake.

The next day.

During breakfast,

Shen Ping, his wife, and Su Yin discussed the issue of raising their child.

"There's no need to rush our son into studying. He's still young. First, cultivate his correct understanding of his surroundings. In another two years, let him go to a nearby school to study with other children. Don't spoil him too much. Many wealthy families have ruined their children because of doting."

"Our family has excellent conditions; we don't lack money or cultivation resources, so we should focus on cultivating his abilities in other areas."

Environmental factors had a significant impact on children. In a growth environment like Lishui District, coupled with him being an esteemed councilor, even with the best education, a child's mind would inevitably develop a sense of superiority, which was very difficult to avoid.

Li Yuewei and Su Yin nodded in agreement; they had no other opinions on their child's upbringing.

...

Half a month passed in a flash.

After familiarizing himself with the various aspects of his strength at Planetary Level Six, Shen Ping once again traveled to the Australia continent in his intelligent fighter jet. This time, the King-level monster he was looking for was the famous Diamond King of the Australia continent.

Originally, he had planned to wait until he mastered his domain before engaging in combat with more powerful King-level monsters to hone his blade technique and movement technique. However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. With the Yan Xing Flower breaking through to the Astral Rank, he no longer had any safety concerns and could naturally hone his skills to his heart's content.

Boom.

Upon arriving in the area where Diamond King was located,

flames rose from his body as he charged directly towards Diamond King.

The powerful King-level monsters across the Global were monitored by the two major martial arts academies and the Five Great Powers, primarily to prevent them from inciting beast tides to besiege Base Cities. The monitoring in the Australia continent, separated by sea, was not as dense as in other countries, but it could still be seen by satellites.

Regarding this,

Shen Ping didn't care. He was now at Planetary Level Six, and his Flame Blade Technique had reached the sixth level, allowing him to unleash eighteen times his power. His strength was extremely formidable, and he had no worries about being exposed.

Roar!

Diamond King's true form was a giant white ape. Sensing the flame gene original energy emanating from Shen Ping, it pounded its chest and roared skyward. Its ferocious eyes also revealed disdain. Among the Global councilor-level powerhouses, it only feared Hong and Thunder God. It was slightly wary of other speakers, but it completely disregarded this unfamiliar councilor before it.

The descending ball of fire, facing Diamond King's enormous fist, did not dodge in the slightest and collided squarely with Diamond King's fist.

Bang.

The terrifying impact force sent the nearly thirty-meter-tall Diamond King reeling back a considerable distance before it finally managed to stabilize itself, anger appearing in its pupils.

Without hesitation, Diamond King charged fiercely at Shen Ping.

Shen Ping, however, did not meet it head-on as he had before. That had been purely to test the explosive power of his Flame Blade Technique. Whoosh, with the Prairie Fire Movement Technique unleashed, he seemed to merge with space, his figure flickering like a ghost.

No matter how fast Diamond King's fists were, they couldn't touch Shen Ping in the slightest. Instead, many wounds appeared on its own body.

Roar, roar!

Diamond King was enraged. It realized that the little human before it wasn't using his full strength at all and was completely treating it as a whetstone. After becoming a King-level monster, no one had ever dared to disrespect it so much. It immediately roared and erupted, its body seeming to swell slightly, and its speed and reactions became even faster.

"Yes, just like that!"

Shen Ping laughed heartily. His usual training in the gravity room couldn't fully unleash his potential; he had only mastered his blade technique and movement technique through the rewarded insights and experience. But now, fighting Diamond King, the constant pressure and stimulation thrilled every cell in his body, and in actual combat, he gained new understandings of how to integrate his blade technique, movement technique, and the environment.

After two or three days of continuous sparring,

Diamond King would run away whenever it saw him, no longer as arrogant as before.

Seeing this,

Shen Ping no longer held back, fully unleashing his power and, with the cooperation of the Yan Xing Flower, easily killed Diamond King.

Midway back to the Base City,

Qin Shan called, "Academy Master, something happened at the martial arts academy."
