“Hello, Dad.”
“One of my classmates wants to come along and take a look. Is that okay?”
Wang Huai’an knew that his son had a best friend. Since the boy would be coming along, Wang Huai’an naturally had to give his son enough face in front of his classmate.
“No problem. Bring him along. He can get tested too.”
Wang Teng was obviously delighted. “Okay, we’ll be there soon!”
Inside the Cultivation Room, Wang Huai’an looked at the machine in front of him.
The equipment used to test Qi and Blood was quite simple.
It resembled a hibernation pod. All someone had to do was lie inside, and the machine would scan their body and calculate their Qi and Blood value.
With his status as a 5th-Rank Martial Artist, Wang Huai’an could naturally use it for free.
If he were merely a Low-Rank Martial Artist, the Martial Artist Alliance would not even allow him into the Cultivation Room, much less let him use the equipment.
The operating cost of the machine was not particularly high either. It mainly consumed electricity.
The Martial Arts Schools outside had simply raised their prices to make money.
Cultivating martial arts in this world really cost money at every turn.
Wang Huai’an was essentially taking advantage of the Martial Artist Alliance’s free benefits. However, that was only because he was poor right now. Once he had money, he would naturally stop trying to save every little expense like this.
Besides, he had only recently begun taking advantage of these benefits. The Martial Artist Alliance certainly wouldn’t complain about something so minor.
Before long, Fatty Liu Feng and Wang Teng arrived at the Martial Artist Alliance.
Liu Feng stared at the Martial Artist Alliance and swallowed hard. “Wang Teng, your dad really became a 5th-Rank Martial Artist?”
“My god, you’re about to soar!”
Wang Teng smiled. “Calm down. You’re the only person I’ve told about this.”
“If you run into any trouble in the future, just come to me.”
“Given our relationship, I can definitely ask my dad to step in for you.”
Liu Feng nodded furiously.
That morning, he had initially thought Wang Teng had gone crazy when his friend suddenly claimed that his father was a 5th-Rank Martial Artist.
However, after sensing the increase in Wang Teng’s Qi and Blood and checking Wang Huai’an’s information on the official website, Liu Feng had finally accepted the reality that his best friend had crossed into an entirely different social class overnight.
“I never thought something straight out of a movie would actually happen in real life. Turns out you’re a rich kid who was deliberately raised poor.”
“I’m genuinely amazed.”
“Sure enough, compared with reality, movies and novels are nothing. No matter how ridiculous fiction gets, reality can somehow be even more ridiculous!”
The two then walked directly into the Martial Artist Alliance lobby.
Wang Huai’an was already waiting for them.
Seeing his son arrive, he immediately beckoned the two boys over.
Wang Teng called out, “Dad!”
Liu Feng greeted him respectfully, “Uncle Wang!”
Wang Huai’an smiled and nodded. “You must be Liu Feng. My son mentions you quite often.”
“Come on. Let’s go inside and test your Qi and Blood first.”
Liu Feng looked at the badge pinned to Wang Huai’an’s chest.
There was no way something like this could be faked.
More importantly, they were inside the Martial Artist Alliance itself. Anyone who dared forge a Martial Artist badge here would practically be beaten half to death and thrown outside. You are reading on novelping(.)com, the official source.
The two boys entered the Cultivation Room and finally got to broaden their horizons.
Wang Huai’an activated the machine and gestured for them to begin.
Naturally, Wang Teng went first.
After Wang Teng entered the machine, the glass cover closed over him. The equipment began scanning his body, while numbers appeared on the screen in front of them.
The numbers continued changing before finally stopping at 60.
An ordinary person’s Qi and Blood value was generally only around 30 to 40.
A value of 60 was already quite impressive. After all, it had already surpassed the minimum threshold for vocational colleges. Moreover, Wang Teng had only just stepped onto the path of martial arts and had barely begun cultivating properly. He had merely consumed 1 Essence Stabilizing Pill.
Reaching this level was already very good.
Liu Feng exclaimed, “That Qi and Blood value is already amazing!”
“You’re starting this high?!”
Wang Teng climbed out of the machine.
After spending an entire day absorbing the medicinal power of the Essence Stabilizing Pill, his Qi and Blood had indeed increased considerably.
Wang Teng said, “Liu Feng, you go in.”
For a moment, Liu Feng almost didn’t dare face his own result.
“My Martial Aptitude is also Medium-Grade, but I’m among the weaker ones even within that grade. My Qi and Blood value is definitely going to be pitifully low.”
He had mentioned before that his Martial Aptitude was slightly worse than Wang Teng’s, though the difference was not enormous.
Otherwise, his family would never have agreed to let him pursue the Martial Arts Track.
Still, Liu Feng entered the machine and gave it a try.
The numbers on the screen flickered for a while before finally stopping at 35.
Wang Huai’an was not surprised in the slightest.
This was exactly what one would expect from an ordinary student who had only just begun practicing the Basic Breathing Technique.
Liu Feng’s body had not even begun significantly increasing its Qi and Blood yet. His current value was merely slightly better than that of an average person.
Perhaps because he was rather fat, the amount of Qi and Blood in his body was naturally a little higher than normal.
This was also why the school did not immediately arrange Qi and Blood tests for the students.
They first needed to cultivate for some time. Only then would testing their Qi and Blood values become somewhat meaningful.
Wang Teng’s current Qi and Blood value had been raised by the Essence Stabilizing Pill.
Good resources truly made a difference.
Wang Huai’an nodded. “Not bad. You two have only just begun cultivating. Having this level of Qi and Blood is already quite good.”
Liu Feng scratched his head. “Thank you, Uncle Wang.”
If he hadn’t benefited from his friendship with Wang Teng, he wouldn’t have been able to test his Qi and Blood value today.
Otherwise, he would have had to spend money to get tested elsewhere.
Wang Teng suddenly said, “Dad, I want to see your Qi and Blood value.”
Wang Huai’an smiled. “What? You still think your dad’s strength is fake?”
Wang Teng hurriedly waved his hands. “No, I’m just curious.”
Wang Huai’an didn’t mind.
He directly lay down inside the machine. The source of this chapter is g.com.
He had already tested himself earlier, so there was no harm in doing it again in front of his son.
Very quickly, the numbers on the machine began soaring wildly.
They instantly broke into 5 digits.
Finally, the Qi and Blood value stopped at 12,000 points!
For a 5th-Rank Martial Artist, the baseline Qi and Blood value was 10,000 points.
When Wang Huai’an had first tested himself, his result had only been slightly above 10,000 points.
Now that Wang Teng’s strength had improved, Wang Huai’an’s strength had naturally increased significantly as well.
His Qi and Blood value had directly risen to 12,000 points!
Wang Teng and Liu Feng could only exclaim in amazement.
Wang Teng’s eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at his father.
This was the benefit of possessing real strength!
After they finished testing, the three prepared to leave.
Since Wang Huai’an had driven there, he decided to drop Liu Feng off on the way home.
There was no point in occupying the Cultivation Room just to rest. They could cultivate at home as well.
However, Wang Huai’an could bring Wang Teng here to cultivate on Sundays.
Before long, Wang Huai’an dropped Liu Feng off at home.
The two families did not live very far apart.
However, Liu Feng’s family certainly did not live in a rundown old apartment building.
It was only because Wang Huai’an had lacked ability throughout the first half of his life that his family had ended up living in such a shabby place.
It seemed buying a villa needed to be put on the agenda as well!
On the way home, Wang Huai’an and Wang Teng spent a considerable amount of money at the supermarket to buy some Demonic Beast meat, planning to supplement their bodies through food.
Every aspect of the body needed to improve if they wanted their cultivation to rise steadily.
Although Wang Huai’an currently had no income, spending money no longer made his heart ache.
There was no other reason.
Once a person possessed strength, money would naturally follow.
“This 1st-Rank Demonic Beast meat really is a little expensive.”
“Fortunately, it’s still cheaper than pills.”
“Eat more meat, and your martial arts foundation will become more solid!”
The father and son chatted casually as they climbed the stairs.
There were very few households still living in this rundown old building. The living conditions were simply too poor.
However, just as they reached the 5th floor, Wang Huai’an keenly sensed the faint sound of breathing coming from upstairs.
The breathing was extremely quiet.
Yet with the senses of a 5th-Rank Martial Artist, Wang Huai’an could perceive it clearly.
‘Could someone have moved into the apartment across from ours?’
‘That shouldn’t be possible. No one has lived there for years.’
