High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Nangong Bo continued, "But to be honest, besides investing resources in you, we also need to assess whether your source of power is stable and whether it poses a potential threat to the Federation and humanity! This is an order from the Supreme Council!"

Facing the gazes of the two powerful figures, Su Jie calmly sat down, showing no fear on his face, but rather a perfectly measured confidence.

"Chairman Chen, Special Envoy Nangong."

Su Jie's voice was calm and steady, "Before the test, I want to declare that the source of my power is clean and my heart is with the human race. Uncle Yang and Chairman Bai can testify to this."

As for the specifics of my experiences, they involve secrets left by my parents and my own core personal secrets, so please forgive me for not being able to speak frankly.

His words were neither humble nor arrogant; they both stated his position and set a bottom line.

Nangong Bo nodded, indicating his understanding: "The Federation respects the privacy of every genius. But what we need is a quantifiable 'proof of value' that can convince the Supreme Council."

"The Federation is puzzled by your rapid growth, because according to our investigation, just two months ago, you were merely an ordinary student with a combat strength of only 5 points!"

"Yeah, that's right," Su Jie said matter-of-factly, "so I've been working extra hard this past month, only sleeping... well, I don't think I slept for very long, I just rolled around like crazy!"

As I kept rolling it, it got all curled up like this. Maybe I'm just naturally gifted at it?

Nangong Bo couldn't help but chuckle. "Talent? What kind of talent could allow you to go from a combat power of 5 points to this level in just two months? Even Master Yue Wuji couldn't do that back then!"

Su Jie blinked, his expression innocent and sincere: "Then maybe... I have a tiny bit more talent than Master Yue Wuji?"

"Pfft—" Yang Baichuan, who was standing behind, almost couldn't hold back and quickly covered it up with a cough. Chairman Bai's shoulders also trembled slightly.

Chen Mingyang finally couldn't help but let his lips twitch slightly.

Nangong Bo's lips twitched slightly. He had never seen such a shameless student!

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, Chen Mingyang finally spoke slowly: "Su Jie, although Envoy Nangong's words were direct, they were not without reason."

Your rise to power has truly defied expectations. We need a reason that can be included in the report and that can convince those old fogies in Parliament.

He looked intently at Su Jie: "For example, did your parents leave you anything? Or did you receive some ancient inheritance somewhere?"

Su Jie's heart skipped a beat; he knew Chen Mingyang was offering him a way out. He hesitated for a moment, then decided to reveal a little something, half-truthfully and half-jokingly.

"President Chen, you are wise." Su Jie put away some of his cynicism. "Uncle Yang has already mentioned my parents' situation to me. Their sacrifice for humanity is my lifelong pride and motivation. As for the legacy..."

He paused, drawing everyone's attention.

"I have indeed had some fortuitous encounters. Please forgive me for not being able to go into the specific details, but I can assure you that my power is well-founded, of pure origin, and shares the same source as human martial arts, with absolutely no hidden dangers. As for why my progress has been so rapid..."

Su Jie shrugged, his face revealing that infuriating expression again: "It's probably because I've condensed my martial arts heart, plus that little bit of unparalleled talent, and that little bit of negligible luck. The combination of the three makes the effect quite significant."

Nangong Bo's eyelids twitched. What was the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all?! He then said helplessly, "Since you refuse to talk, and in order to rule out the possibility that you are possessed by a demonic beast, we need to conduct a basic test on you."

Without asking for his opinion, he directly took out a sophisticated, portable device that emitted a blue glow from a silver briefcase.

"This is the 'Eye of Truth' and 'Blood Purity Detector' all-in-one machine that the Federation just developed this month. Now, stand still and do not resist."

A beam of blue light swept across Su Jie's entire body.

[Base combat strength: 49200]

Upon seeing this number, despite being mentally prepared, Yang Baichuan and Chairman Bai still couldn't help but gasp. Chen Mingyang's eyes also flickered slightly.

Nangong Bo's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers, which were controlling the instrument, paused slightly before activating the blood and qi detection module. A soft beam of light enveloped Su Jie.

Everyone stared at the instrument screen.

The numbers are skyrocketing!

80%! 85%! 90%! 95%! 99%!

Finally, the pointer came to a steady stop on a number that sent shockwaves through everyone's eyes—

[Qi and Blood Purity: 100%]

quiet!

Deathly silence!

Yang Baichuan and Chairman Bai stared wide-eyed. Even Chen Mingyang, whose face had always been impassive, finally revealed an undisguised shock!

Nangong Bo's hand trembled, nearly dropping the priceless testing equipment. He abruptly raised his head, his gaze shooting like lightning at Su Jie, his tone filled with disbelief and horror:

"Forty-nine thousand two hundred points of basic combat power?! How many martial veins have you condensed?! And this is 100% pure, this is simply impossible!"

Even relying solely on one's own cultivated qi and blood, it's not guaranteed to achieve such absolute purity! Su Jie, you... how did you manage to do that?!

This completely defies existing understanding of martial arts! Such a terrifying speed of advancement, coupled with absolutely pure blood and qi free of any elixirs, cannot be explained by ordinary "fortuitous encounters"!

Looking at their expressions, Su Jie knew the time was right and he had to give a "reasonable" explanation. He also wanted to know the Federation's attitude towards him so he could decide his own attitude towards the Federation in the future.

The slight relaxation on his face vanished, replaced by a perfectly balanced blend of "reminiscence" and "heaviness" in his eyes. He remained silent for a few seconds, as if carefully choosing his words, before slowly speaking, his voice tinged with a barely perceptible hoarseness:

"Special Envoy Nangong, Chairman Chen." He raised his head, his gaze candid. "Now that things have come to this, I no longer wish to completely conceal the truth. The issue of my rapid increase in strength and the purity of my blood and qi may be related to myself."

He paused, drawing everyone's attention.

"When I received the devastating news that my parents had perished in that beast tide three years ago, I was struck and traumatized, and I even fell into a coma. When I woke up, I vaguely felt that something was different about my body."

He stretched out his hand, feeling the flow of his own Qi and blood, and said in an uncertain yet certain tone, "But there was nothing unusual in the past few years, until one day I seemed to no longer need to rely entirely on the 'Basic Breathing Method'. My body seemed to be able to slowly and automatically generate the purest Qi and blood from nothingness."

He looked at the two big shots with a "pure" yet "confused" gaze: "I don't know what this is. Perhaps it's some kind of special constitution that awakens after being stimulated?"

My cultivation is more like constantly guiding and accelerating this 'automatic generation' process. This is perhaps why you see it as 'unconventional'.
